What Is Tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs. It can also affect other organs. TB was once called "consumption." It is the world's second-most fatal infectious agent, after HIV/AIDS (WHO, 2013). TB is most common in developing countries, but people in the United States are diagnosed with the condition each year.
Tuberculosis is usually both preventable and curable under the right conditions.
What Causes Tuberculosis?
The mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium causes TB. But there are a variety of TB strains. Some strains are resistant to medication.
Bacteria are transmitted by air. They can be transmitted when a person sneezes, coughs, speaks, or sings. A nearby person can then inhale the TB bacteria.
People with strong immune systems may not experience TB symptoms, even though they carry the bacteria. This is known as latent or inactive TB. Inactive TB is not contagious. Active TB, however, can make you and other people sick.
Who Is at Risk for Tuberculosis?
An estimated 95 percent of all diagnosed TB cases are in developing countries (WHO, 2013). The condition chiefly affects young adults.
People who use tobacco or are long-term drug or alcohol abusers are more likely to get TB. People who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS or who suffer from malnourishment are also at greater risk. Diabetes, end-stage kidney disease, and certain cancers are other risk factors.
Some medications can also put a person at risk. These include medications that help prevent organ transplant rejection. Other medications that increase risk include those taken by patients with cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and psoriasis.
Travel to regions where TB rates are high also carries the risk of infection. These include:
- sub-Saharan Africa
- India
- Mexico
- China
- Parts of the former Soviet Union
- Islands of Southeast Asia
- Micronesia
In the United States, some low-income groups have limited access to resources for diagnosis and treatment. This can place them at greater risk of TB infection (Mayo Clinic, 2013).
What Are the Symptoms of Tuberculosis?
Some people carry the TB bacteria but do not experience symptoms. This condition is known as latent TB. Latent TB can develop into active TB.
Active TB causes many symptoms. Many are related to the respiratory system, including coughing up blood or sputum. Patients may experience a cough that lasts for over three weeks. They may also experience pain with coughing or even breathing normally, especially in the chest.
Other possible symptoms include unexplained fatigue, fever, night sweats, appetite loss, and weight loss.
While TB usually affects the lungs, it can also affect other organs, such as the kidneys, spine or brain. For example, tuberculosis of the kidneys may cause blood in the urine.
How Is Tuberculosis Diagnosed?
Doctors can use TB skin tests and blood tests to determine whether a person is carrying the TB bacteria. A TB skin test involves injecting 0.1 mL of a purified protein derivative of TB into the skin.
After two to three days, the patient returns to the doctor's office. If the area around the injection is raised, the patient may be TB-positive. However, this test is not perfect. Some people do not respond to the TB test even if they have TB. People who have recently received the TB vaccine may test positive but not have TB.
A blood test is sometimes recommended to determine whether a patient has latent or active TB. These tests may not be available in all areas.
Other diagnostic tests include a chest X-ray, which checks for small spots in the lungs. These spots are a sign of TB infection and indicate that the body is trying to isolate TB bacteria. A physician may also order tests on sputum or mucus extracted from deep inside the lungs to check for the bacteria.
How Is Tuberculosis Treated?
Although most bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics over the course of a week or two, TB is different. Patients diagnosed with TB take one or more medications for six to nine months. The full treatment course must be taken, otherwise it is highly likely TB could come back. If TB does recur, it may be resistant to previous medications taken.
Because some TB strains are resistant to certain drug types, a doctor may prescribe multiple medications, including:
- isoniazid
- ethambutol (Myambutol)
- pyrazinamide
- rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane)
High-dose antibiotics can harm the liver. Patients should be aware of liver-injury symptoms, such as:
- appetite loss
- dark urine
- fever lasting longer than three days
- unexplained nausea and/or vomiting
- jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
Notify your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms.
What Is the Outlook for Tuberculosis?
The outlook for TB patients depends on their overall health and on whether the TB responds to intervention. For example, if a person with TB has HIV/AIDS, the prognosis is poor because HIV/AIDS weakens the body's ability to fight off the TB infection. An estimated 25 percent of all HIV/AIDS deaths are TB-related (WHO, 2013).
An estimated 8.4 million people were ill with active TB in 2011; 1.4 million of these people died from TB (WHO, 2013). But rates for TB cases are decreasing on a yearly basis. Early diagnosis and treatment, including a full course of antibiotics, offer the best chance for curing TB.
How Can Tuberculosis Be Prevented?
Most people in high-risk regions receive TB vaccinations as children. The vaccine is called Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, or BCG. This vaccine does not protect against all TB strains. It is not commonly given in the United States.
Having the TB bacteria does not guarantee symptoms of active TB. A doctor can prescribe preventive antibiotics to keep active TB from developing. A commonly prescribed medication is isoniazid (INH). Patients must take this medication for six to nine months to fully remove the bacteria.
Patients who have been diagnosed with TB should avoid crowds until the condition is no longer contagious. People with TB can infect between 10 and 15 people per year if precautions are not taken and treatment is not started (WHO, 2013). Patients can also wear a special surgical mask, known as a respirator, which keeps TB particles from spreading through the air. However, a person with active TB should avoid contact with others until finishing the first three to four weeks of treatment.

Chick-fil-A® restaurants are throwing a "Bring the Backyard Back" event to celebrate the launch of their new grilled entrees on Saturday, May 3 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at participating locations throughout metro Atlanta. Customers will get to sample the new grilled chicken, play games, and enjoy quality time outdoors.
Chick-fil-A's introduced its new and improved grilled chicken breast and nuggets, which are gluten free, on April 14. I am a fan of the new chicken nuggets because they are more flavorful, tender, and moist. Chick-fil-A spent a chunk of money and time to create a technique that produces a tender, juicy filet with just the right amount of smoky flavor. Each grilled chicken breast is freshly marinated with a blend of sea salt, lemon, garlic, and savory herbs, and cooked on a state-of-the-art, proprietary grill.
"We are so excited about Chick-fil-A's new grilled menu offerings, which are both nutritious and delicious," said John Diamond, franchise Operator of Chick-fil-A at Howell Mill. "Our 'Bring the Backyard Back' event will be a great opportunity for families to get excited about summertime and enjoy quality time together."
Snap a photo of family and friends enjoying the outdoors, tag it with #BeBraveGoGrilled, and share on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook for a chance to play in the Braves' Backyard – Turner Field.
Check with your Chick-fil-A location to see if they are participating, then get out of the house and get outside for some free grilled chicken, games, and sun!

If you're headed to the beach this summer, pack lightly and take just one pair of sandals that look great both with a sundress on the street or a swimsuit in the sand.
A durable canvas bag or one that wipes clean easily is best for toting along your beach towel and sunscreen, and can also double as a cute everyday tote when vacation is over.

Legislation and Policy
Wetlands in Parliament
There is no specific wetlands legislation in Ontario or Canada. Wetlands receive indirect protection through Ontario's Planning and Development Act, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, Municipal Act, Endangered Species Act, Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act, Conservation Land Act, Conservation Authorities Act, Environmental Assessment Act, and Ontario Water Resources Act. Wetlands are also specifically recognized in the natural heritage protection measures of Ontario's Planning and Development Act. However, other legislation, such as the provincial Tile Drainage Act, still work against wetland conservation by permitting wetland drainage for agricultural purposes. In most cases, the installation of municipal drains significantly alters the local water cycle, resulting in dramatic changes to wetland area and function.
At the federal level, the Canada Wildlife Act, Fisheries Act, Migratory Birds Convention Act, Species at Risk Act, and Canadian Environmental Assessment Act provide some protection to wetlands through species and habitat conservation measures.
Most often, wetlands are protected through policies and agreements. While certainly valuable, these vehicles do not have the same clout as legislation. A thorough review of Canadian wetland policy and legislation as of 1999 is provided in the publicationWetlands and government: policy and legislation for wetland conservation in Canada (PDF, 19.8 MB). This publication is available in printable PDF format only.

Dzeko strikes first as Bosnia end on winning note
- 25 June 2014 19:20
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
Edin Dzeko grabbed his first World Cup goal as Bosnia signed off in style with victory over Iran.
The City striker had a legitimate goal against Nigeria ruled out by the linesman, but opened his account at the third time of asking to set his country on the way to their first points of the competition.
Already eliminated after the cruel loss to the Super Eagles last time out, Bosnia's victory ensured they leapfrogged Iran to finish third in the group and give their passionate fans a chance to enjoy themselves before the flights home.
Meanwhile, Iran were seeking the victory would see them through to the knockout stages at the expense of Nigeria, as long as Argentina secured all three points in Group F's other encounter.
As his country's talisman, Dzeko started all three of Bosnia's group games, and didn't take a long to make an impact in Salvador – his header was gratefully seized by the strong hands of the Iranian keeper with less than 10 minutes played.
Bosnia were keen to attack but often found themselves frustrated by a stubborn and solid Iranian defence that had proved extremely well-organised in the previous two matches.
However, just 14 minutes later they found their blockades breached by the Bosnian diamond, who unleashed a low, well-drilled shot from just outside the box that floated into the furthest corner of the net for his 36th international goal.
Iran hit the crossbar just minutes later, but largely struggled in the final third as Bosnia sought to capitalise on their lead.
The best chance for a second before the break was created by Dzeko, who provided a perfectly placed throughball for Vrsajevic on the right hand side, but his compatriot steered his shot the wrong side of the post when he might have cut the ball back.
Iran dominated the early stages of the second period, but continued to fire blanks as they searched for their first goal of the tournament - their best chance fell to Dejagah, who was blown offside after skewing his shot wide.
Instead it was Bosnia who doubled their lead - Dzeko fed Pjanic who slotted home with the most confident of finishes.
Reza Ghoochannejhad gave the Iranians late hope with a tap in on 80 minutes, but any lingering dreams of a round of 16 place were extinguished within 60 seconds. Avdiva Vrsajevic made no mistake this time as he fired home from the right hand side of the box to secure a cherished victory for Bosnia.
Dzeko's side will be disappointed at being eliminated at this early stage, but ended their maiden World Cup on a high with a thoroughly deserved victory.

Franchising Facts
The Franchising industry and businesses employs 21 million people and generates $2.3 trillion of economic activity. A new franchise business opens every 8 minutes of every business day.
Like the United States, franchise businesses around the world have seen steady growth in the past decade, particularly in Brazil, China and Mexico. According to the International Franchise Association (IFA), their members are eyeing overseas expansion as an important way to diversify their portfolios. For instance, a survey of IFA members last Summer, revealed that 61 percent of respondents currently franchise or operate in international locations, and 16 percent generate between 25 percent and 30 percent of revenue from international activities. Almost three fourths of respondents said they plan to start or accelerate international ventures.

Städeli, R; Basler, K (2005). Dissecting nuclear Wingless signalling: recruitment of the transcriptional co-activator Pygopus by a chain of adaptor proteins. Mechanisms of Development, 122(11):1171-1182.

Members of the Wingless (Wg)/Wnt family of secreted glycoproteins control cell fate during embryonic development and adult homeostasis. Wnt signals regulate the expression of target genes by activating a conserved signal transduction pathway. Upon receptor activation, the signal is transmitted intracellularly by stabilization of Armadillo (Arm)/beta-catenin. Arm/beta-catenin translocates to the nucleus, interacts with DNA-binding factors of the Pangolin (Pan)/TCF/LEF class and activates transcription of target genes in cooperation with the recently identified proteins Legless/BCL9 (Lgs) and Pygopus (Pygo). Here, we analyse the mode of action of Pan, Arm, Lgs, and Pygo in Drosophila cultured cells. We provide evidence that together these four proteins form a 'chain of adaptors' linking the NH2-terminal homology domain (NHD) of Pygo to the DNA-binding domain of Pan. We show that the NHD has potent transcriptional activation capacity, which differs from that of acidic activator domains and depends on a conserved NPF tripeptide. A single point mutation within this NPF motif abolishes the transcriptional activity of the Pygo NHD in vitro and strongly reduces Wg signalling in vivo. Together, our results suggest that the transcriptional output of Wg pathway activity largely relies on a 'chain of adaptors' design to direct the Pygo NHD to Wg target promoters in an Arm-dependent manner.

I was originally hesitant to jump on the Tesla Roadster "bricked batteries" bandwagon, and my initial story was written with a sort of cautious neutrality. Further context will be provided by the details that have surfaced in the 24 hours since the story broke. Hope you're ready to dive in to it all.

The controversy over red light cameras, once relegated to websites like TTAC, thenewspaper.com, motorists.org and highwayrobbery.net, is hitting the mainstream media thanks to a new study by the IIHS [PDF here]. The study used the following methodology:
Telephone surveys were conducted with 3,111 drivers in 14 large cities (population greater than 200,000) with long-standing red light camera programs and 300 drivers in Houston, using random samples of landline and cellphone numbers. For analyses combining responses from the 14 cities, cases were weighted to reflect each city's share of the total population for the 14 cities.
And what did they find?
Among drivers in the 14 cities with red light camera programs, two-thirds favor the use of cameras for red light enforcement, and 42 percent strongly favor it. The chief reasons for opposing cameras were the perceptions that cameras make mistakes and that the motivation for installing them is revenue, not safety. Forty-one percent of drivers favor using cameras to enforce right-turn-on-red violations. Nearly 9 in 10 drivers were aware of the camera enforcement programs in their cities, and 59 percent of these drivers believe the cameras have made intersections safer. Almost half know someone who received a red light camera citation and 17 percent had received at least one ticket themselves. When compared with drivers in the 14 cities with camera programs, the percentage of drivers in Houston who strongly favored enforcement was about the same (45 percent), but strong opposition was higher in Houston than in the other cities (28 percent versus 18 percent).
Sounds like those red light cameras are pretty great after all, doesn't it? That's certainly the IIHS's takeaway…

Yes, and yes, says a study of the Resources for the Future (RFF) institute. The Washington think tank's study examined "the unexplored link between the prevalence of overweight and obesity and vehicle demand" for bigger and more gas guzzling cars.
RFF brands itself as a "nonpartisan organization that conducts independent research." Their study found "that the prevalence of overweight and obesity has a sizable effect on the fuel economy of new vehicles demanded. A 10 percentage point increase in the rate of overweight and obesity among the population reduces the average miles per gallon (MPG) of new vehicles demanded by 2.5 percent, an effect that requires a 30 cent increase in gasoline prices to counteract." Basically what they are saying: Fat people choose fat cars. More fat people, more fat cars.
Shame on you if your belly keeps you from reading the numbers on the bathroom scale, you are driving up the cost of our gas, fatso. If you would eat less, we would pay less. If the study is correct. Read More >
Though an objectively awesome car by any (non-environmental) metric (review forthcoming, I promise) some Corvette ZR1 owners are plagued with a strange brake vibration. Which, thanks to the Corvette Forum, is available for all and sundry to see. But let's dig a little deeper: bearing in mind the customer involved is a personal friend, and his paraphrased comments are as follows.
One of the more admirable qualities of the blogging culture is a relentless underdog streak. Anyone who mans the ramparts of a decent blog is forever scouring the worlds of business, media and opinion for an opportunity to attack the most prominent voices of the day. And TTAC is no exception: we certainly came up by attacking the apologists and Polyannas who are still massively overrepresented in the world of automotive commentary. But what a difference a bailout makes. While the mainstream automotive media spent much of the leadup to the auto bailout making apologies and excuses for Detroit's decline, TTAC told the unpleasant truth, gaining us new readers and credibility every step of the way. Now that I find myself being asked to contribute to one of the most prestigious opinion outlets in the world (the NY Times op-ed page) on a regular basis, TTAC is no longer the underdog, and other blogs have stepped into the breach to attack us as the new status quo. Fair enough… let's do this thing.
Yesterday, we ran a story about Art Ross. Ross was the Oldsmobile Chief Designer in the post WW II heydays. He was also a prolific and gifted pornographer. Cars and sex have always been related for some reason. Did you know that in Germany, where the car was invented, "Verkehr" can mean both "traffic" and "intercourse?" I render the guess that there are more people that begun their life by the dashboard light than those who passed away in the passing lane. Many are convinced that autos have aphrodisiac qualities. Many heavily object and say that a car is just a conveyance. Then there are some who think cars are just as vile as porn, and both should be banned. Where does the dear TTAC reader stand in this discussion? Read More >
Is going Between the Lines this time 'round more like shooting fish in a barrel? Let's find out with the latest ad campaign from Lincoln, as covered by the Detroit Free Press:
Ford said today it is rolling out a new ad campaign for its Lincoln brand with the tagline "Smarter than Luxury," and starring John Slattery, who portrays Roger Sterling in the TV series "Mad Men."
There's an ironic element there, considering the behind-the-scenes marketing dialogue seen on the TV show. If the boffins at Lincoln chose "Smarter than Luxury" over everything else, I gotta know what they passed on. Perhaps "Lincoln: Our Stuff Looks Like Poop Dung" was already under consideration for the Lincoln Log people. Read More >
A crop of new police cars drew more than 400 law enforcement officials to Chrysler's proving grounds in Chelsea today to see the Michigan State Police put the cars through acceleration, braking, high-speed handling and other tests.
This article isn't gonna end well for Ford, and not just because it's Panther Appreciation Week here at TTAC.
One of the world's foremost authorities on Automotive Journalism recently got their hands on a trio of Corvettes just for fun. But what unfolded was on the verge of hilarity, if not for their self-proclaimed journalistic superiority over us "punk kids with lots of servers and a desire to get free test drives."
As we all know, those oblivious to history are bound to repeat its mistakes. Longtime readers also know I've gone down this road before, but the powers of my Twitter news feed shoved extra grist into this particular mill. Behold: Alain Raymond's blog about the death of the V8 engine. Raymond's weakest argument revolves around one fact: V8's did lose mainstream appeal shortly after the demise of the Butterfly Collar. But Alain wishes to beat this dead horse for some misguided reason.

Business owners are allowed to use pedestrian signs (also known as "sidewalk marketing") to enhnace their marketing efforts. To place signage on a city sidewalk (that is at least 6' in width), a business must submit an application that demonstrates compliance with the rules established in city code (18-0309).
The permit is valid for one year but may be renewed for an additional year without payment of an additional fee. Permitted signs can only be displaced between the hours or 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. or until business closure (whichever is earlier).

Easily, the strangest movie of the year!
Behind Jon Cusaks filing cabinet is a portal to the mind of John Malkovich. You experience everything that Malkovich does from Malkovichs mind. You have no control over him, you just see what he sees. This lasts for only about 15 minutes, then you fall from the sky landing just off the Jersey Turnpike.
(It hasnt gotten strange yet)
Cusaks wife (Cameron Diaz) enters the portal and experiences life as Malkovich. She decides it was so natural that she must really be a man. While she is in Malkovich's mind, he (and she) have sex with Cusaks coworker Maxine. Maxine becomes pregnant from this encounter. A jealous Cusak, who has been lusting after Maxine, even though she wants nothing to do with him, discovers that the only way he can have sex with Maxine is to enter Malkovichs mind and have sex with her as Malkovich.
(nope, not strange yet.)
It seems that Cusak is an expert puppeteer and discovers that he can control Malkovich for as long as he wants. He stays Malkovich for a couple years, marries Maxine and they have a daughter.
He, as Malkovich, quits acting to become the worlds greatest puppeteer.
Maxine is actually in love with Cameron Diaz, not Malkovich. She kept the baby only because she knew that Cameron was in Malkovich's mind when it was conceived.
Cusak is forced to leave Malkovichs brain because the portal actually belongs to his boss, Orson Bean. Yah, the whats my line guy.
Maxine and Diaz want nothing to do with Cusak. They live the rest of their life together as a couple, raising their daughter.
The portal now is the portal to the daughter's mind which Cusak now occupies.

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - Just who is the owner of the South Laredo Cemetary?
That's a question that's been on the mind of many people. A Facebook page for local residents say Councilman Mike Garza is looking into who owns the property at Obsidian Boulevard and Zapata highway we reported on yesterday. The cemetery is a place that some residents would like to see better maintained.
Tonight on Pro 8 News at Six, KGNS reporter Christian Von Preysing finds out what the city of Laredo plans to do to speed up this process.

The Kaepernick 911 calls from an incident that happened in Miami last month have now been released by the police, and they give fans a clearer picture of the incident that happened. This incident has Miami police investigating Colin Kaepernick from the San Francisco 49ers. On May 7, Yahoo Sports shared the latest details about the incident that happened in the hotel room shared by Kaepernick and two other football players on April 1.
What happened on that night? A woman was in the hotel room being shared by Kaepernick, 49ers teammate Quinton Patton, and Ricardo Lockette from the Seattle Seahawks. The woman was originally at the location to visit Lockette, according to initial reports. After having a few drinks and smoking some marijuana, she went to go lay down in the bedroom.
From there, she would not leave the bed she was in. The bed belonged to Colin Kaepernick. She was waiting for him to return, and she made it clear to Lockette that she wanted to sleep with the player from the 49ers. He was the man behind the first 911 call that evening. The second call came from another man, and he was asked if the woman was there to see her boyfriend. Kaepernick had no connection to the woman, and he was definitely not her boyfriend.
Since the incident, Kaepernick has spoken out, and he revealed that he has become "stronger" because of the accusations made against him because of the incident. The woman claimed to have kissed him, and he took off her clothes. Neither happened. He wasn't even in the room when she was there. Kaepernick and the other men involved have not been charged with any crime. However, the investigation is still on-going. The reason for that is not known.
What do you think happened that night? Did the woman have a bit too much to drink and get excited about the prospect of meeting the 49ers quarterback? It sounds possible, but there is still more to this story it seems with the investigation still happening.

College Hockey:Minnesota-Duluth expects toughest test to date against North Dakota
Before the season, it seemed the overwhelming majority had North Dakota running away with the MacNaughton Cup in 2010-11 as the WCHA's team to beat. The Fighting Sioux have gone 1-3 after a 3-0-1 start and have fallen from second to ninth in the USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll.
Enter Minnesota-Duluth, undefeated and ranked second in both polls with one of the nation's best offenses.
When the teams meet this weekend in Grand Forks, the Bulldogs can use the game as a measuring stick to see where they stand at this point in the season and whether their 6-0-2 record is for real.
North Dakota, on the other hand, has the chance to show why it received so much respect by voters in preseason stories.
"They're still one of the best teams in the country and in our league," Bulldogs coach Scott Sandelin said Tuesday afternoon. "For an early-season matchup, it's exciting from our standpoint to see where we're at, too."
The difference in this series could be how the Bulldogs' high-octane offense matches up against North Dakota's depth. The "big three" is putting up big numbers again this season for the Bulldogs, who rank sixth nationally in goals per game (4.25).
Mike Connolly leads UMD with 13 points (6-7–13) and Jack Connolly (3-9–12) and Justin Fontaine (4-8–12) each has 12 points. All three rank in the nation's top 10 in scoring.
Freshman J.T. Brown is right behind with four goals and seven assists for 11 points.
UMD's opponents have a combined record of 9-20-7, and Sandelin said he believes the Bulldogs will see the toughest competition they've seen all season when they step into Ralph Engelstad Arena on Friday.
"They're obviously the best team we've faced to this point," Sandelin said. "They're deeper and a little more skilled than the other teams we've faced, plus we're at [UND's] rink. We need to take care of the puck and play smart hockey because teams with their ability will take it and put it in your net."
The Sioux are known for having one of the deepest lineups in Division I and have the ability to roll four solid lines each week.
"Our depth is definitely going to be tested this week," UND coach Dave Hakstol said Wednesday evening.
Grand Forks Herald beat writer Brad Schlossman reported Wednesday that the Sioux will be without Derek Forbort and Andrew MacWilliam on the blue line, and forward Carter Rowney is expected to miss the series, too.
According to Schlossman, Brad Malone is facing a possible suspension for his hit on Denver's Jesse Martin last Saturday that earned Malone a game misconduct.
"We'll endure these injuries and give a lot of guys the opportunity to help our team become a better team," Hakstol said.
The Sioux was 3-0-1 after a sweep at Bemidji State but got swept at Maine and split with Denver. If any program in the WCHA is capable of getting out of a funk, however, it's UND. The Sioux have a tendency to start out average but get hot down the stretch.
"It's early in the season and there's two good teams playing each other this weekend," Hakstol said. "There will be a lot of skill on the ice. There's a lot of intensity in these two teams."
Here's a look at what else is happening around the league this weekend.
No. 15 Wisconsin (5-2-1, 2-1-1 WCHA) at No. 17 Minnesota (5-3-0, 3-3-0)
They call it the "Border Battle," when every year Gophers fans try to fill as much of Mariucci Arena with gold as they can but red-clad fans that support the Badgers make the drive to spoil it.
Minnesota rides a three-game winning streak into the series after it swept Colorado College last weekend. Gophers second-line winger Zach Budish is out with a torn ACL in his right knee and will be out until at least December unless he opts for season-ending surgery, according to Minnesota coach Don Lucia.
The Gophers erupted for nine goals Saturday night but Wisconsin's defense is stingy as usual with only 15 goals allowed in eight games. Give some credit to senior goaltender Brett Bennett. The second-year transfer from Boston University has a 1.00 goals-against average with a .960 save percentage in 180 minutes.
The Badgers have the third-best power play at 31 percent and are unbeaten since Oct. 22. Wisconsin swept Michigan Tech in Madison last weekend.
Minnesota State (2-2-4, 2-2-2) at No. 8 Nebraska-Omaha (5-1-0, 2-0-0)
UNO returns to WCHA play for the first time in three weeks after a split at Michigan and a bye. UNO is still undefeated in WCHA play with two wins at Minnesota Oct. 15-16. UNO has scored more goals per game (4.50) than any other WCHA team so far. Rich Purslow leads the way for UNO with three goals and seven assists.
A win this week would be huge for Minnesota State, which will try to maintain its position in the league's upper half, despite the fact that it has played six WCHA games against teams off to slow starts.
Colorado College (3-4-1, 1-3-0) at No. 13 Denver (3-3-2, 2-1-1)
The Pioneers will play with their teammate and assistant captain Martin in the back of their minds as they take on their in-state rival in a home-and-home series. Denver lost Martin last Saturday night when he suffered three fractures in his C-2 vertebra in a collision with North Dakota's Malone.
Denver's Sam Brittain is one of the nation's hottest goalies (1.80 GAA and a .939 save percentage) through five games.
CC's Schwartz brothers have scored almost half the Tigers' goals. Jaden Schwartz has seven goals and big brother Rylan has two of CC's 19 total for the season.
Bemidji State (0-3-1, 0-3-1) at No. 20 St. Cloud State (3-4-1, 1-1-0)
The Huskies hope this is the weekend to stop the slide that has taken them from fourth to 20th in the USCHO.com poll.
This could be the turn-around weekend for SCSU if the Huskies can draw man advantages and convert against BSU, a unit that has had a tough time killing penalties. The Beavers rank near the bottom of Division I with a 69.6 percent penalty kill. All four goals the Beavers allowed to Minnesota-Duluth last weekend were power-play goals, and BSU came away with only one point.
The Beavers are just thirsting for their first WCHA win.

As drug smugglers carried hundreds of pounds of marijuana through a tunnel from Canada to the U.S. last month, federal officials heard every word and watched nearly every movement with state-of-the-art surveillance.
Investigators were able to surreptitiously install video and audio bugging devices in the tunnel after receiving a judge's approval to search the passage under a controversial provision of the USA Patriot Act.
By obtaining a so-called "sneak-and-peek" warrant, law-enforcement officials were able to enter the tunnel, and bug it, without immediately telling the suspects a warrant had been issued. Regular search warrants require that the subject of a search be notified immediately after it has been conducted.
As Congress prepares to reauthorize some parts of the terrorism-fighting Patriot Act this summer, some legislators and civil-rights groups say that power is too broad and want to regulate the ways police can conduct searches. The Senate Judiciary Committee recently introduced a bill that would greatly limit how "sneak-and-peek" actions are conducted.
"I think that the power that the government has under the Patriot Act ... is clearly contrary to the notion underlying the Fourth Amendment," said former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr, a Republican from Georgia who leads the Patriot Act reform organization Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances.
Sneak-and-peek "is being used in cases that have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism," Barr said. When police want to search a suspect's property, a judge has to determine there is probable cause before issuing a warrant. After police search the property, they are normally required to leave a notice with explanations of the areas searched and items removed, if any.
Under a sneak-and-peek warrant, also known as a delayed-notice search warrant, a judge authorizes police to search a suspect's property without leaving any trace they were there. Whalley said investigators arrange the timeline of the delay with a judge and most often notify suspects within 30 days.
Doug Whalley, an assistant U.S. attorney in Seattle, said the Patriot Act codified already-existing law, making it difficult to challenge the use of sneak-and-peek warrants in court. Rulings before the act were made on a case-by-case basis, Whalley said, and appeals courts could have ruled the warrants were improperly issued.
But Lisa Graves, senior counsel for legislative strategy for the American Civil Liberties Union, said that under these warrants, police routinely don't tell suspects they have searched their homes until months later. Graves also said the new Patriot Act provisions have been an attempt to give law enforcement a blanket ability to conduct secret searches without being held accountable.
"The Justice Department decided to create a statutory right across the board," Graves said, "to try and create a national right of law enforcement to create secret searches of businesses and homes, secret seizures of evidence."
"Federal prosecutors don't eagerly use these methods of surveillance," countered Whalley. "The process is very labor intensive. If you watch TV, they get a search warrant within 10 minutes. Something like this, where you want to go in and not announce your presence — if we're lucky, the turnaround is two days, and that's fast."
When authorities announced the discovery of the tunnel in mid-July, federal officials said their concern was not only drug smuggling but the possibility it could be used to transport terrorists or smuggle weapons.
But civil-rights advocates say law-enforcement agencies are abusing their power.
"The tunnel has nothing to do with the war on terrorism. ... There's absolutely no reason why the authorities couldn't have availed themselves of the normal ways possible," said Bob Mahler, a Seattle criminal-defense attorney. "They just didn't feel the need to use the normal, constitutionally mandated processes because they had this new tool that was given to them."
The section of the act containing the sneak-and-peek provisions is not up for congressional reauthorization this year, but advocates still want it amended during this series of revisions.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced last month that the committee unanimously approved a bill to reform parts of the Patriot Act, including more regulation of police searches and sneak and peek.
Under the bill, the government would have to notify the target of a sneak-and-peek warrant within seven days of a search. Week-by-week extensions could be requested, bringing additional judicial oversight.
Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., co-sponsored a similar but further-reaching bill, the Security and Freedom Ensured, or SAFE, Act.
If passed, it would require added judicial oversight, much like Leahy's bill, and also would limit the grounds for delayed-notice search warrants. They would be allowed in cases when authorities feared there could be destruction of evidence, risk of injury, intimidation of witnesses or that suspects would flee, among other circumstances.

University of Wyoming students are producing a sale of 50 head of consignment and UW-bred commercial and seedstock heifers Saturday, Oct. 13, in Laramie.
The sale is at the Cliff and Martha Hansen Teaching Arena about three miles west of Laramie on Hwy. 230. Activities begin with educational cattlemen's topics and heifer viewing at 10 a.m.
Students in the beef leadership and heifer marketing course are in charge of the first-ever sale created to provide hands-on experience for students and as seed money.
Scott Lake, University of Wyoming Extension livestock specialist, said money left after expenses will help fund the next course.
"The support is really toward keeping the program running," said Lake, an assistant professor in the Department of Animal Science, and who teaches the class.
The class is new.
"We would like to make this a two-part course, with one semester focused on leadership. We envision that course to be a little bit more of a travel course than a traditional classroom lecture. We hope to get students in front of a lot of different industry leaders and organizations."
The emphasis this semester is heifer selection.
"The focus of the class is really about putting on a production sale," Lake said, "which includes selection of heifers, arranging facilities, marketing and advertising the heifers and sale and preparation for the sale. The students have been in charge of every aspect."
There will be discussion areas prior to the sale that include reproduction, artificial insemination and efficiency, among others, said Lake.
"People can wander and listen to whatever they want and look at what they are interested in," he said.
For more information, contact Lake at 307-766-3892 or at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Travis Smith at 307-399-7674 or at email@example.com.

ELYRIA – Budding entrepreneurs got a chance to use their hands – and their brains – all week at a summer camp thanks to a foundation founded by actor John Ratzenberger.
Don't recognize the name? Well, how about Cliff, the know-it-all mailman on "Cheers"? Yeah, that's John Ratzenberger.
The 22 boys and four girls attending Techknowledge! Summer Camp had access to state-of-the-art fabrication equipment at Lorain County Community College, including a laser cutter.
By the end of the week, 13-year-old Simone Sharp of Elyria said she wished the camp had lasted a lot longer because summer gets "boring."
"I thought I would hate it, but I wish it lasted a month because it was so fun," Simone said.
The children had access to tools needed to conceptualize, design, develop, fabricate and test a variety of things at LCCC's FAB Lab.
Like Simone, Alec Renaldo, 14, of Fairlawn, said he was "forced" to attend the camp but started to enjoy it right away.
"It was fun – we got to use the equipment to design 3-D boats," he said.
Alec said it's cool that Ratzenberger set up a foundation called Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs. The foundation sponsored the summer program with the Fabricators & Manufacturer's Association and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship.
"He's using his money for young kids," Alec said.
Not only did the kids design rubber-band-powered boats, they built and raced them.
The most elaborate boat design belonged to Bryan Krall, 15, of Sheffield Lake, who has his heart set on getting an engineering degree and earning $120,000 as a Legos designer. Sadly, the boat was beautiful – but flawed, he said.
"It wouldn't work – it's too complicated," Bryan said. "The gears needed to be smaller."
The winning boat design belonged to Team Boatapotopolismonono – Team Boat for short, which had a sleek, simple design.
Second place went to Team Trash, named because team members retrieved their winning boat from a wastebasket.
The camp ran 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily for the week and cost the kids just $25 thanks to a $4,000 grant from Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs, and the $25 fee was refunded if the kids completed the program. The camp was also offered at 17 other community colleges across the country.
In addition to being a founder of Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs, Ratzenberger hosts a television program called "Made in America" that features interesting innovators and manufactures.
A national poll sponsored by the organization showed a majority of teens – 52 percent – have little or no interest in a manufacturing career and another 21 percent are ambivalent.
That concerns Ratzenberger, because more than 70 percent of all the jobs created in the United States come from small businesses – many of them started and run by inspired entrepreneurs.
"It's absolutely critical for this mindset to change because when America recovers from our economic downtown, there will be a dire need for skilled manpower in the trades," Ratzenberger said in a news release.
Young people attending the camp said they will keep an open mind, but many still expressed doubts that manufacturing is for them.
Cameron Williams, 14, of Carlisle Township, said he wants to be an aerospace technician after attending NASA's Project Paragon for kids.
But he knows he'll have to keep his grades up to do that.
"When I try, I get A's and B's," he said. "When I don't I get C's, D's and F's."
LCCC president Roy Church dropped in on the final day of camp activities on Friday and watched part of the boat race.
Techknowledge! Summer Camp is just one of the College for Kids programs the college runs in the summer, Church said.
"It's absolutely wonderful – we're trying to teach young people innovation," Church said.
"What we want them to learn is that manufacturing in the future is like the environment of the FAB Lab versus their perception of a factory that is dirty and unsafe," Church said.

A Wheatley man has been indicted after reportedly stealing office equipment, computer and radios from the Owen County Sheriff's Office.
Chad A. Perkins, 27, has been charged with third-degree burglary, receiving stolen property under $500, second-degree criminal mischief, and flagrant nonsupport.
The incident took place Feb. 5. State road crew workers called the police during the early hours of the morning to report a man was standing in the middle of West Seminary Street, holding an armload of junk, and unwilling to move.
With an eye on capturing the Democratic Party nomination for commissioner of agriculture, B.D. Wilson met with Owen County supporters Thursday as he criss-crossed the state along the campaign trail.
Wilson, who served as Montgomery County judge-executive in the 1990s, said his background as an elected official, a businessman and a farmer makes him uniquely qualified to lead the department.
"I have been a Kentucky farmer," Wilson said. "I know what kinds of problems they face. Agriculture is the economic engine that drives this state."
New Liberty, Jonesville and Owen County firefighters spent Thursday afternoon battling a mobile home fire near Gratz.
New Liberty Fire Chief Greg Davis said they received a call at 12:20 p.m. indicating smoke coming from the mobile home located next to Frankie and Johnny's restaurant on Hwy. 355.
Davis said the man and woman living in the mobile home were not there at the time, and a passerby called 911 after seeing smoke.
The Owen County Farmers' Market will have a new home this spring.
The Owen County Farm Bureau received an $82,419-grant for construction of a permanent structure for the market.
When it reopens May 6, the market will be housed under a pavilion located behind Farm Bureau at 430 Roland Ave.
The farmers' market, which began in 2003, has been located on the Owen Country Courthouse lawn for six of its seven years.
Although students have been enjoying the new school since January, parents and the community will get a chance to check out the new Maurice Bowling Middle School March 20.
The open house, which will be held from 2 until 4 p.m., will feature tours, special speakers, an official ribbon-cutting ceremony and refreshments.
Student council members and peer helpers will take members of the public around the new school.
Maurice Bowling Middle School Principal Jo Wallace said she is eager to show off the new school.
After over a year since the first discussion on a transient room tax, the Owen County Fiscal Court recently held a second reading on an ordinance and put the tax into place.
The passing of the ordinance means a 3-percent tax will be charged for anyone renting a place to sleep in Owen County.
According to the ordinance, the tax would include motor courts, motels, hotels, inns or similar accommodations. Owen County Judge-executive Carolyn Keith said the ordinance would also include campgrounds.

Controlling certain weeds takes some strategic planning and during mid-March, the game begins. I personally don't care about weeds in the lawn but I do try to keep them out of the landscape beds and the vegetable garden. I also prefer to approach the whole affair with as little chemical input as possible, so I have developed a well-timed strategy of hand-weeding, mulching, using corn gluten as a pre-emergent and a little flame-throwing. I'll explain.
When I was 12 I went steady with Paul Minardi.
He gave me his blue St. Christopher's medal, which is what boys gave their girlfriends back then, back before St. Christopher was de-sainted.
I don't remember how long we went steady, only that he broke up with me and shattered my 12-year-old heart.
It was the Worst. Breakup. Ever.
Until the next one, that is.
It wasn't until the year 1949 that the United States Air Force became a separate branch of the military. Until then it was known as the Army Air Corps, and it was considered part of the Army.

Former New Orleans Saints greats Archie Manning, Rickey Jackson and Willie Roaf will become the first members of the team's Ring of Honor, the organization announced Friday. The three players will be recognized at halftime of the Saints' Week 10 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 10.
"We, as an organization, have given thoughtful consideration and devotion in an effort to properly honor the contributions of the many great people that have proudly represented the New Orleans Saints and the City of New Orleans," Saints owner Tom Benson said in a statement. "We are excited to induct the deserving members of the Class of 2013 and allow our fans an opportunity to honor the efforts and contributions that these men have made to our franchise.
"It is fitting to honor three of the greatest players in our franchise's rich history in Archie, Rickey and Willie."
Manning is one of the franchise's most beloved players despite never pushing the Saints to the playoffs in his career.
Manning earned two Pro Bowls while with the Saints and threw for 21,734 yards with 115 passing touchdowns along with 2,058 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns in his Saints career.
"This is really a special honor and I'm grateful and indebted to the Saints and the Saints nation of fans. We have lived here in New Orleans for 42 years now and I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that this area, not just New Orleans but also southern Louisiana and really the entire Gulf Coast, has been so wonderful to our family. To be joining two incredible football players and men in Rickey and Willie certainly adds to this honor. I'm truly honored and look forward to a special night."
Both Jackson and Roaf spent the majority of their Hall of Fame career with the Saints.
Jackson picked up 115 of his 128 career sacks with the Saints, ranking him 10th all-time in NFL history. Jackson earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections while in New Orleans.
"The Saints and our fans have been part a huge and very important part of my life since 1981," Jackson said. "To be honored by being inducted in the first class with Archie and Willie means the world to me.
"We're the first guys but we all know that none of us would be there if it wasn't for the support the organization and our teammates and coaches gave to us. It will be our names up there but I know we proudly represent a lot of people that were key parts of our journeys."
Roaf earned a franchise-high seven Pro Bowls spots while with the Saints and was named to the NFL's All-Decade team for the 1990s and 2000s.
"When I played for the Saints I used to look up and see Rickey and Archie's legacies in the (Mercedes-Benz) Superdome and quite honestly, I aspired to be like them and that helped motivate and drive me. When I was told that this was happening, it was incredible. Obviously it's been a nice run recently with the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction.
"It's something I'm very thankful for, heartwarming to be 100 percent honest. I went to school in Louisiana, I know the legacy of incredible athletes that have played in Saints uniforms but I also know that incredible moments that have shaped the history of the (Mercedes-Benz) Superdome. I thought of Jim Finks when I was told of this honor and how he changed my life. This is a chance for me to once again thank the Saints fans for what they've meant to me."

David Golde begins the interview with a discussion of his early years and education in Bayonne, New Jersey. In high school, Golde developed an interest in medicine, which was stimulated by his biology teacher. He received his B. S. in chemistry from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1962. He then attended medical school at McGill University, graduating in 1966. After graduation, Golde completed his internship under the supervision of Dr. Holly (Lloyd) Smith at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Golde joined the faculty at UCSF after completing his residency at the National Institutes of Health. His experience in clinical pathology at NIH steered him into hematologic research at UCSF in Martin J. Cline's laboratory. While at UCSF, Golde met several influential scientists who first sparked his interest in hormones. In 1974, Golde left UCSF for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he continues his affiliation today as Professor of Medicine, Emeritus. Throughout most of the 1970s, Golde's major field of research was in colony-stimulating factors. Golde observed cell lines to determine which tissues make colony-stimulating factors. In his laboratory at UCLA, Golde developed a major cell line called KG-1 with H. Phillip Koeffler. The KG-1 cell line was later used to clone alpha interferon. Golde began studying hairy-cell leukemia, researching the cell origins for the disease. Studying cultures of the Mo cell line (named after John Moore, a hairy-cell leukemia patient), Golde's laboratory was the first to purify human GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor). With Robert Gallo he discovered a specific strain of retrovirus named HTLV-II, and with his postdoc, Irvin Chen, was the first to clone the HTLV-II virus. Golde concludes the interview with a discussion of the relationship between the biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industries, issues regarding federal transfer of information, and thoughts on his contributions to medicine.
