Q. Dandruff is caused by a yeast (fungus). Here's how I got rid of it 40 years ago with amber Listerine. I parted my hair in the middle, soaked a cotton ball with the Listerine and saturated the exposed scalp with the Listerine. Then I parted my hair about 1/2 inch from the original part and soaked the newly exposed scalp with Listerine.
I repeated this over my entire scalp. The idea was to get Listerine in direct contact with my entire scalp to kill the yeast. It probably took at least 45 minutes to do this procedure. I used a towel over my shoulders to catch the drips. I left the Listerine on for a short while afterwards. Then I washed my hair as usual.
One week later I repeated the procedure with the Listerine. The dandruff went away and has never returned.
A. It may come as a surprise to many readers that the makers of Listerine used to advertise their antiseptic as a treatment for "infectious dandruff." One 1930 newspaper advertisement offered this:
"Here's an easy way of getting rid of dandruff. When your scalp itches or burns, when your hair is dull and lifeless, and when you are bothered with loose dandruff, start using full strength Listerine on the hair and see how quickly you note improvement…Being a germicide capable of killing germs in 15 seconds, it readily takes care of any infection that may be present…LISTERINE: The Safe Antiseptic–Kills germs in 15 seconds."
Dermatologists didn't think of dandruff as "infectious" and the FDA determined that the makers of Listerine could no longer advertise their mouthwash for the scalp. Now, however, there is a growing realization that dandruff may indeed be caused in part by a yeast-like fungal infection (Malassezia). Although most of us harbor some yeast on our scalp, for reasons that are unclear, some people react to this yeastie beastie with inflammation and irritation. That leads to cellular growth and flakes, ie, dandruff.
As far as we can tell, there have been no randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials of Listerine against dandruff. Would it work? Quite possibly. There are antifungal ingredients in Listerine.
You are not the first person to tell us that old-fashioned amber Listerine was effective, though we have not heard of this treatment as a definitive "cure."
Anyone who would like to read more about some other dandruff remedies, especially details on rotating different kinds of dandruff shampoos, may find our Guide to Hair and Nail Care of value.

Another day, another pair of big names to add to the ever-growing list of performers for the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke have just announced they'll take the stage at the show, joining previously announced performers Katy Perry , Lady Gaga and Kanye West on August 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn!
One Direction, who made quite the impact at last year's show — performing their single "One Thing" and snagging three Moonmen , including Best New Artist and Best Pop Video for "What Makes You Beautiful" — have also been confirmed to make an appearance at the 2013 VMAs.
Miley, Robin and 1D will also go head-to-head in a brand-new VMA category: Best Song of the Summer, which pits six of the season's hottest tracks against each other in a battle for summer supremacy. Miley's "We Can't Stop," Thicke's inescapable "Blurred Lines" and One Direction's "Best Song Ever" go head-to-head with Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding's "I Need Your Love," Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It," for the inaugural award, powered by Windows Phone.
We've been debating who had the hottest song of the summer for months, but now, you're going to have the final say … and the winner is going to walk away with a KAWS-designed Moonman!
Best Song of the Summer is a socially-driven category, and beginning today, fans can vote for their favorites via Twitter, Instagram or Vine by using the appropriate hashtag: #votemiley, #votedaftpunk, #voteselena, #voteonedirection, #votethicke or #votecalvinandellie … voting will remain open until the VMAs, which air live on Sunday, August 25 at 9 p.m. ET.
Their Song of the Summer noms bring both Miley's and Robin's total to four … tied with Bruno Mars for second-most heading into the big show. Justin Timberlake and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis lead all artists with six nominations apiece.
Don't miss Miley, Robin, One Direction and a whole lot more at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on August 25 at 9 p.m. ET.

So I'm quite new to linux but I'm starting to understand it. I have a Ubuntu Server 12.04 system, fresh install, and I installed a teamspeak 3 server on it:
$ sudo useradd teamspeak
(provided user info and password)
$ su teamspeak
(entered password)
$ cd /home/teamspeak
$ wget http://ftp.4players.de/pub/hosted/ts3/releases/22.214.171.124/teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-126.96.36.199.tar.gz
(download teamspeak.tar.gz)
$ tar -zxvf teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64-188.8.131.52.tar.gz
(unpacked the file to teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64)
$ mv teamspeak3-server_linux-amd64 server
(server is no located in /home/teamspeak/server)
$ cd ./server
$ ./ts3server_minimal_runscript.sh createinifile=1
(initialized the server)
$ ./ts3server_startscript.sh start
(started the server)
Now when I reboot my server (e.g.
$ sudo reboot) the server doesn't start up. Obviously because I haven't configured anything in
/etc/init.d but I have no idea how to do this.
I want the server to start like it does with the
/home/teamspeak/server/ts3server_startscript.sh start script, ran by the user
I followed several guides but they didn't work. Can someone help me?

March 25, 2014
Overall thoughts on the match
"The girls are really happy that we're going to be home, and I think the fans are going to come out as well. It's a single match - just one dual - which is great, so we'll have a lot of energy. This is a fantastic opportunity to start a new rivalry against our in-state friends LSU."
On if playing a first-year sand program is a challenge with nothing to base preparation on
"From a coaching perspective, it's a little bit of an unknown and that can make you a bit uneasy. At the end of the day, it comes down to skill. If we pass the ball well, if we set well, if we see the court. It probably doesn't matter who we play or what we know about them. We're not focusing on any history or success against them. We're just going to try and play well, take care of our side of the court and see what happens."
On playing at home after opening the year with two straight road trips
"It's such a relief. We'll have more people screaming, yelling and cheering for us. Not having to travel and maybe eating something that we're used to and all those little things will hopefully add up to a victory for us."
On how the team is playing to date
"We've gotten better every single time we've taken the court. We got a lot better from week one to week two, and we competed very well against top teams last week in Arizona. Our goal was get a little bit better last week, and I think we did. If we can improve our game by two percent each week, we're going to be fine. I'm really looking forward to getting a good win this week."
On what he wants to see his team improve on against LSU
"We want to improve our offense. We made a big point of that in training this week. We need to be staying aggressive. We need to approach the ball hard and we need to make sure we come in with a mindset to be aggressive and if we need to change in the middle of a play we can change to something soft. That's fine. But making sure we go in with an aggressive mindset is our No. 1 priority."
On the importance of having a good crowd on hand for the Tulane/LSU match
"We'd love it. There's nothing better than being out there trying to play and competing, and having a lot of support. We've been on the road and haven't had a lot [of support] since we've been so far away. We're hoping everyone comes out, cheers us on and helps get us the win."


text: On 5/8, we met up with one of our favorite past clients at the canal downtown (we've done SIX photo shoots for them over the years – WOW!) and we took some adorable pics of their new family of 4! Lauren is a little over a year old now and Cori needed some updated family photos and cute photos of Lauren. Lauren LOVED the ducks at the canal, it was adorable! I think she wanted to swim with them! Kellen is a great big brother for her, it's crazy to see how much he's grown up since our last photo shoot when he was about her age! Thanks for another fun photo shoot!

- The Caf? Saint Nick. This coffee drinks packs a great punch. It's made with Peppermint Schnapps, Godiva Chocolate liqueur and Bailey's Irish Cream. Of course, you can't forget to top it off with whipped cream and a candy cane!
- Well, we had to put our tree on the list as a Must-See because it is after all the nation's tallest Christmas Tree. It's lit nightly in our piazza.

Not So Fast: Growth Hormone Might Not Have Helped Roger Clemens
What if Roger Clemens did take human growth hormone? It's not clear his fastballs got any hotter because of it — at least not according to the scientific literature.
Stanford medical school researchers, their curiosity piqued by the brouhaha around athletes using HGH, recently tried to determine if the folks alleged to have used HGH were practicing evidence-based medicine. Do the data demonstrate any benefit for athletes? Little, if any, according to the results published in the current issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.
The Stanford researchers found 27 past randomized, controlled studies, with a total of 303 participants, that tested the physiological effects of injections of growth hormone compared with a placebo in healthy people. The studies were also double-blinded, meaning the patients and researchers didn't know whether they got the HGH or not.
Participants in the studies did seem to show an increase in their lean body mass, which is generally associated with more muscle. But in the two studies that looked at muscle strength, HGH users didn't show an improvement. One possibility is that HGH is causing fluid retention, Hau Liu, the study's lead author, tells the Health Blog. It's hard to differentiate between muscle and fluids, he explains.
Another bad sign for HGH's performance-enhancing effects: During exercise, subjects in some studies who got HGH produced more lactate, a byproduct of exercise that can cause muscle fatigue. They also had a higher rate of adverse events.
Still, Liu cautions that it's still possible HGH has an athletic benefit. There weren't a lot of studies out there to pore over, and they were small. Also, athletes likely take HGH in much higher doses than those tested in the studies. The researchers note that endocrinologists had their tails between their legs in the 1980s after they'd pooh-poohed testosterone's performance-enhancing effects. Later studies testing testosterone at athletes' high doses showed otherwise. "We'd be very careful in saying that this is not the final word," Liu says.
Health Blog Conflict-of-Interest Bonus: We were intrigued that Genentech and Pfizer, both marketers of growth hormone, were listed among the study's funders. Stanford says the companies weren't directly involved, but each had helped fund a research fellow who ended up on the project.

A soldier opened fire on fellow soldiers at Fort Hood this evening. Multiple injuries are being reported. The shooter is reportedly dead.
"Any shooting is troubling. Obviously this reopens the pain of what happened at Fort Hood five years ago," said President Barak Obama.
The injured personnel are being transported to Carl R. Darnall Medical Center and other local hospitals, according to Fort Hood's Twitter feed. Four people are dead, reports NBC News. Another 11 are injured.
NBC has also named the alleged shooter as 34 year old Ivan Lopez. The International Business Times confirmed Spc. Lopez was an active duty soldier. CNN has not offered up the shooter's name but has said he wore fatigues and used a semi-automatic weapon. The shooter died as a result of a self inflicted gun shot wound, according to the Huffington Post.
Fort Hood is located in Killeen, Texas. The "all clear" has been issued although the situation is still under investigation.

Spanish: Collalba Persa
Other common names: Red-tailed/Rufous-tailed/Red-rumped/Persian Wheatear
Taxonomy: Saxicola xanthoprymna Hemprich and Ehrenberg, 1833, Nubia, north Africa.
Usually treated as conspecific with O. chrysopygia, but the two differ considerably in plumage; they are claimed to intergrade in NW Iran, with intermediates reported, having been named as race cummingi; however, latter form may actually represent first-year plumage of present species, and no proof of intergradation has been put forward; further study required. Monotypic.
Distribution: SE Turkey to SW Iran, probably also extreme NE Iraq; non-breeding E Egypt S to E Sudan and Eritrea, Arabian Peninsula and NE Somalia.

College Hockey:CC Takes Round One From Denver
Tigers Claim Share of MacNaughton Cup
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
Colorado College won round one of its historic in-state battle with Denver for the WCHA regular-season crown and secured at least a share of the MacNaughton Cup in front of a standing-room-only record crowd of 7,881 at the Colorado Springs World Arena. Now it will be up to the Pioneers to go for a split of the series and the title Friday night at DU's Magness Arena.
"I'm spent," said CC coach Scott Owens. "There's a lot of build up, there's a lot of stress and every shift you feel the tension. I'm happy – it's a huge game for us, it's nice to do it here at home in front of our crowd. It's nice to get a piece of the MacNaughton Cup at least and have a chance to go for it outright tomorrow."
"We had two weeks off just to think about DU and concentrate on DU and what we had to take care of," said CC senior defender Richard Petiot. "I think we did that great tonight. We came out and had the crowd on our side and we took it took them."
After a scoreless first period, CC tallied three unanswered goals for the 3-0 win as Tiger netminder Curtis McElhinney recorded his first shutout of the season with 31 saves. Marty Sertich brought his nation leading point total to 59 (24-35) with a goal.
In an extremely physical first period, both teams came out unscathed. McElhinney robbed DU of an early lead by making key saves during a Pioneer power play and although the Tigers had two late power plays to end the opening frame, DU goalie Glenn Fisher made some stops of his own behind a protective defense that aided with nine blocks for the 0-0 score after 20 minutes.
Although it was DU that came out firing in the second, putting 13 shots on net compared to CC's six, it was the Tigers that netted two goals to turn the tides their way.
Aaron Slattengren opened the scoring after Petiot wrapped around the back of the DU net and fed the puck to Slatterngren in the low slot who tipped it in for the 1-0 lead at 8:27. Brandon Polich increased the Tiger lead to two goals when he stole the puck on the CC blue line for a short-handed breakaway and beat Fisher low on his stick side at 11:42.
"Polich's goal was a huge goal for us on the [penalty kill]," said Petiot. "That took the life right out of [DU]. We never looked back from there."
Sertich scored unassisted at 15:57 of the final period to close out the scoring with a hard slap shot from the left faceoff circle after skating the puck through a pile-up in the neutral zone. His 24th goal of the season was met with chants of "Hober Baker" from the rowdy student section.
The emotion of the game got the better of CC and DU as the game neared its end. With 2:45 remaining, a fight broke out, sending three players from each team to the penalty box, including DU's Matt Carle with a 10-minute misconduct on top of a minor for boarding. Just over a minute later, more punches were thrown, resulting in another Pioneer and two more Tiger penalties.
Seconds later, at 18:55, CC's Trevor Frischmon was whistled for roughing and was the sixth player in the box for the Tigers. DU's Fisher was then pulled out of the net, giving the Pioneers a 6-on-3 advantage for the final 1:05. Not able to muster up much in the way of effective offense even with a three-man advantage, DU succumbed to its cross-state rival, 3-0.
Although DU coach George Gwozdecky was disappointed with his team's offensive efforts, and will look to sharpen the team's ability to catch and release passes, his outlook was hopeful for the second game of the series in Denver on March 4.
"This is a series," he said. "It's not just one game and we're back home in friendly confines tomorrow and we have a chance to win the MacNaughton Cup tomorrow night."
"If it plays anything like the last time we were [at DU], they'll just storm us," said Owens. "We'll have to weather the storm the first 10 or 15 minutes just to hang on a little bit. I think it's going to be physical, I think it's going to be toughSthey're going to be a very desperate team tomorrow."

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue personnel broke the windows of a SUV in the parking lot at the Mall of Wellington Green on Sunday to rescue two Maltese puppies from the hot vehicle reported cbs12news.
A security guard called the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office after a Good Samaritan reported seeing the puppies in the vehicle.
According to GossipExtra, the owners of the two-month-old puppies were identified as Kevans and Ma Cadet of West Palm Beach. The couple admitted to leaving the puppies in the vehicle while they shopped and dined at the mall.
The couple have been charged with animal cruelty.
The temperature inside of the vehicle registered at 123 degrees. The puppies were panting heavily and soaked in saliva and urine.
The puppies are expected to be fine and are currently in the custody of Palm Beach Animal Care and Control. The owners are being asked to relinquish ownership of the dogs.
"This is South Florida you irresponsible owners," stated Barb Smith of Wellington. "Only a complete fool would be stupid enough to leave pets in a hot parking lot anywhere for even five minutes, no less than to be so completely irresponsible and leave puppies in there while you two shop and eat."
Do not leave your pets in cars.

Dear Heloise: Can you please, please, help? I am sometimes called to feed the pets of people who have been unexpectedly hospitalized, and their pets have been left alone in an apartment with no food.
My problem is that the door is locked and I can't get in.
Most apartment managers won't open the door unless there is a written release on file, and some won't even take that.
Can your readers encourage friends who live alone but have pets to give someone a duplicate key so someone can care for the pets if the owner cannot?
Thanks so much for helping those hungry pets! - Patsy from Texas
Dear Heloise: I have a pet parakeet, Joe, who dearly loves my homemade chew toy made out of the cardboard roll inside paper towels (not toilet paper).
I cut the cardboard roll in two, and using one half, I poke a hole in each end close to the edge.
Then I insert a twist-tie in each hole and attach one to the inside of his cage (about ¾ of the way up). Joe loves to sit and chew on it. - Mae, Springfield, Ill.
Dear Heloise: Our Chihuahua was started on dog-training pads at the age of 11 weeks.
These pads are easy to train a dog to use.
As our dog was trained and no longer needed the "scent" on the pad, we then switched to disposable hospital-bed pads that can be purchased at stores that carry "human" supplies for incontinence.
We buy them by the case, as this is much cheaper than the scented "doggie" pads.
Our dog uses the pad when we are at home, at friend's homes or at a motel. - Jean Tauc, Ventura, Calif.

Created by the ingenuity of the ancient Incan warrior spirit and affected by the chaotic modern day Peruvian living conditions. Cholitzu is based on the positioning of college wrestling and influenced by the creativity of Jiu Jitsu.
"My style is Cholitzu, and I have been working on it since I was 13. I have always been searching for ways to inflict pain and hurt my opponents. Cholo is the derogatory name that the people call the Peruvian descendent of Inca. It's the Jiu-Jitsu style of the Cholos here in Peru. My style of wrestling has always been unorthodox. I did not wrestle to win, but rather to hurt my opponent and make him submit.

The Carling Cup has thrown up some interesting situations for our EPL our the past few years. But with so much significance put on the big competitions it can be forgotten. This week's podcast looks at why the League Cup still holds significance for so the league.
To start, we digest Owen Hargreaves comments about his rehabilitation at Manchester United. Was he right to speak out now or is this just press hype? Sir Alex will voice his opinion in the Friday press conference but hear what Jesse Chula and Kartik Krishnaiyer have to say before anyone else.
We also preview the action to come this weekend. Whilst it isn't a big weekend for 'top of the table' clashes there are going to be some challenges for the top teams in the league. The pod review the chances of an upset after the fairly convincing displays from all of our regular winners. The conclusion: the best clash of the weekend doesn't always involve a champion.

Spring recap in St. Louis 2013
So it has been a couple months since I last wrote anything and this spring has been a wet one. As I write this we are way above average on rainfall this year in St. Louis. It seems like it has been raining every other day. The rivers are busting out of their banks and the ground is saturated.
What this means for your lawn: read more.

The problem was an elusive leak. Initial reports indicated the repair was a success. On Thursday flight controllers at Mission Control Center activated the device for a 24-hour run. Friday morning they said telemetry indicated it is capable of functioning on both its sorbent beds for the first time since it arrived on the station.
Whitson was named NASA ISS science officer Monday during a space-to-ground conversation with NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe, speaking with her from the International Space Station Flight Control Room in the Mission Control Center. O'Keefe said it was time to increase the station's main mission, scientific research.
Through the week, Korzun and Treschev spent time each day loading the Progress 8 unpiloted supply spacecraft. It will undock from the station on Tuesday with its cargo of trash and unneeded equipment and supplies. After about two weeks during which Russian flight controllers will use its cameras capture and downlink images of smog and smoke over northeastern Russia, it will be deorbited to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. NASA TV coverage of the 8:58 a.m. CDT undocking will begin at 8:30 a.m. Coverage of the docking of Progress 9, scheduled to reach the aft docking port of the Zvezda Service Module at 12:07 p.m. on Sept. 29, will begin on NASA TV at 11:30 a.m. that day. Progress 9 is to be launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Sept. 25.
On Tuesday Whitson activated the lab's Microgravity Science Glovebox in preparation for a new series of experiments. Those experiments called Pore Formation and Mobility Investigation (PFMI) melt a transparent substance to study how bubbles form and move in molten materials. She activated the first in that series of experiments on Thursday.
Also on the crew's schedule was packing of items to be returned to Earth on the shuttle Atlantis. The spacecraft is scheduled to launch no earlier than Oct. 2 on STS-112, bringing the Starboard 1 (S1) Truss to the station. Atlantis crewmembers will do three spacewalks during the shuttle's visit, focusing on connecting fluid, power and data lines between the S1 and the rest of the station. The spacewalks will be performed from the station's Joint Airlock, and E5 crewmembers devoted some of their attention this week to spacewalk preparations.
Flight controllers did a major exercise with the station's Canadarm2 on Wednesday. The arm is functioning well after replacement of its wrist-roll joint by spacewalkers during the STS-111 flight in June. This exercise involved simulating a failure - essentially turning off power to an arm joint -- then devising a way to work around the problem. The exercise was completed satisfactorily.
Late in the week, the crew completed repressurization of the station's atmosphere with oxygen from Progress 8.
Friday activities included additional work toward arrival of Atlantis, packing transfer items and talking by radio with Atlantis crewmembers about the spacewalks. Friday science focused on the Advanced Astroculture experiment, which looks at soybean growth in space and wrapping up the first of the PFMI experiments.
As science activity, station maintenance and crew medical and health activities, including about two hours of exercise for each member daily, continued through the week, Korzun, Whitson and Treschev did manage to take time out on Tuesday to talk with students at Ashland, Wis., area schools. Crewmembers showed a video of exercise devices aboard the station and answered questions from the students.

While he made a name for himself in Stargate: Atlantis, Jason Momoa has been tearing up the screen with his turn as Conan and most notably in Game of Thrones. Now he is not only starring but stepping behind the camera for his directorial debut with his latest film Road to Paloma. We all know he has the chops to play a bad ass but does he have the skill to take the reign of a film and bring something special to the industry?
Road to Paloma follows a Native American on the run after avenging his mother's murder. As he flees across the desolate American West on his motorcycle, he'll discover that justice has a cost and his search for redemption will reveal secrets and take him on a journey where the roads have some very unexpected turns. This film sports a great supporting cast including Tye Alexander, Lisa Bonet, Chris Browning, Charlie Brumbly, Tanoai Reed, Sarah Shahi, Wes Studi, and Michael Raymond-James with each bringing their own thing to the film, but this is Momoa's film all the way. He has crafted a modern day western of sorts with him taking on the role of the drifter and does an excellent job bringing it to life on both sides of the camera. This could have easily been shifted to the action aspect, but instead it is a character story of sorts focusing on his redemption as well as his impact on those that he comes into contact with. Momoa is an imposing figure, but manages to bring some heart to the role that makes him likeable and has more depth than it might have been otherwise.
The desert visual throughout the road trip creates a simplistic beautiful backdrop that gives the film a much bigger scope. This story focus on the Indian culture makes for a unique take bring in the culture and tradition to the character allowing it a chance to display the honor and tradition that this seemingly bad guy actually has making for a modern day samurai on some level, especially with some of the rituals used throughout. This isn't some hardcore action movie that most may have expected from Momoa, but instead a character driven road to redemption that is sure to elevate Momoa to another level as an actor and filmmaker.
Check out Road to Paloma when it hits stores on July 15th.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Junior guard Curt Hanson scored a game-high 24 points and senior center Jeff Skemp added 20 points, leading NCAA Division III Wisconsin-Platteville (1-0 preseason) to an 84-79 upset at Bradley (1-1 preseason) Sunday evening at Carver Arena. The loss is Bradley's first-ever to a college opponent in exhibition play as the Braves fall to 18-1 all-time in preseason exhibitions against collegiate programs and suffer their first-ever preseason loss in 19 exhibition games under seventh-year head coach Jim Les.
Junior guard Mike Shaw, who scored 15 points off the bench, delivered the dagger for the Pioneers by draining a deep 3-pointer from the left wing with 39 seconds left to stretch a five-point lead to 81-73. Bradley had sliced a game-high 14-point deficit, 74-60, with 7:02 remaining to 76-71 on a Chris Roberts baseline drive with 3:11 left, but could not complete the rally. Senior forward Theron Wilson appeared to trim the deficit to 78-75 with 2:04 remaining, but was whistled for a travel on his slicing move into the lane, then was hit again with a charge foul in the paint on Bradley's next possession. The Braves had a third opportunity to pull within one possession, but David Collins was called for an illegal screen trying to free Sam Maniscalco for a 3-point attempt with 1:10 left, setting the stage for Shaw's back-breaking shot.
Wisconsin-Platteville, which will enter the season ranked as high as seventh in the preseason Division III national polls, put up tremendous shooting numbers last season, and with their top nine scorers returning, the Pioneers backed up those numbers Sunday. Although Bradley made seven more field goals than its visitors, UW-Platteville hit 11-of-20 (.550) of its 3-point tries and sank its first 20 free throw attempts en route to a 23-for-26 (.885) effort from the stripe. Both teams shot better than 50 percent from the field -- Bradley 32-for-63 (.508) and UW-Platteville 25-for-47 (.532) -- but the Braves made only 11-of-20 free throw attempts and 4-of-13 (.308) 3-point tries, allowing the Pioneers to outscore them by a combined 33 points from the two lines.
Senior center David Collins paced the Braves with 21 points and nine rebounds. The 7-footer made 10-of-11 field goal attempts to eclipse his official career scoring high of 14 points set Dec. 1, 2007 versus
Bradley played 11 players Sunday and 10 scored, including all five newcomers to see action. Junior guard Andrew Warren, who missed the first month of the preseason while recovering from a broken foot, was Bradley's only scoreless player, shooting 0-for-3 from the field in his 12 minutes off the bench. Freshman point guard Eddren McCain led the Braves in assists for the second straight exhibition, finishing with a game-high six helpers, while Brown was the team's second-leading rebounder by collecting six caroms.
The Braves will open their 105th basketball season Friday by hosting Illinois-Chicago in a 7:05 p.m. tip at Carver Arena. The game has been labeled a White Out and fans are encouraged to wear white. To enhance the look of the arena, everyone in attendance will receive a white Bradley Basketball t-shirt, courtesy of Maui Jim Sunglasses,

I was very curious to see "Burlesque is More" at The Annoyance Theater and Bar when I learned that it is a satire and being directed by Annoyance artistic director and founder, Mick Napier. The choreographer (as well as a performer) for the show is Sarah O'Dwyer and the technical director is Duke Harbison.
The new theater is beautiful. The large room is open, with high ceilings and deep red walls. There's plenty of room between the tables that have four chairs each. There is food, drinks and a very attentive waitstaff. It's a comfortable room to visit.
The show is very well done. It is as good as any regular or comedic burlesque that I've seen. In some ways it's better than most because there is absolutely no seriousness about the burlesque and that sets the performers free. I think that none of the performers are trained dancers except for O'Dwyer They are actors/comedians.
In the beginning they took a suggestion as a group and it ran through the show in the breaks between acts. This improvising started off slowly but got some good laughs as the night went on. The host for the show was Tim Heurlin as Nick "Crazy Legs" Velveteen and he did some fine acting as the carnival barker type, owner of the Rumble Room, where the show takes place. You'll get a little tired of him saying Crazy Legs, but it's part of his charm and he'll be glad to tell you all about his charms.
Kayce Alltop was first as, Beep Wolf, a Best Buy employee that had been raised by wolves. She was very funny. Next up was Megan Johns as, Ricki Mallard an anti-mannequin former model. Her mall has been shut down and she's moved in to be first in line when it reopens. She's a very good actor and did a strip with garbage and mannequin parts.
Then there was Leah Frires, oh god, she was amazing. She played Bea Applebaum, a former spelling bee participant who hasn't gotten over her long ago loss of the championship. She does a great monologue about the ins and outs of the loss and then does the craziest strip tease to a Die Antwoord song. It was a head banging, body shaking, unreal experience!
Next was Lindsey Finn as Clara Clover, a Noir Detective who's acting was outstanding and compelling. After that was Emily Fightmaster as Whitney Bates, a Sea World employee who explains why she stuck around at Sea World "after Shamu ate someone." She was very funny.
Alison Banowsky played Kristall Z. an alien abductee who stripped down to a tin foil (hat) bra with a double Big Gulp in her hand. She was funny, exaggerated and it worked well. Last was Sarah O'Dwyer as Louise Hunter, an Australian crossing guard with a stop sign and everything. She stripped to The Beatles 'Why Don't We Do It in the Road.' She's a great dancer.
The acts were fantastic, and again, as good as any burlesque I have seen and I have seen too much burlesque! The acting and commitment to the characters was outstanding and it held over in to the dances. Burlesque is More runs Saturdays at 10:30 on the Main Stage at The Anonoyance. Tickets are $20 and $15 for students.

Sixth in a season-long series on super fans of the New Orleans Saints.
Some New Orleanians have a Michalopoulos print or JazzFest poster hanging in their living rooms. Dorian Cummings has a bald eagle. The mounting of the majestic bird, with its six-foot wingspan and menacing outstretched talons, dominates the main room of his Old Jefferson cottage and serves as a daily reminder to his native American ancestry.
Native Americans are the only Americans allowed to acquire bald eagles. Cummings, whose grandfather Lowell "Chief" Cummings was a full-blooded Pawnee, had to apply to the federal government and join a lengthy waiting to list to acquire his specimen. Only birds that die of natural causes in national parks are accepted. Cummings' wait took three years.
"It's my spirit," said Cummings, 35.
It's also Cummings' prized possession, the talisman for his alter-ego character, the Gris-Gris Man, the New Orleans Saints original native American super fan.
"When I decided to do this (become a super fan), I wanted to do something that was original, something that was true to me," he said. "It's nice to be able to see that every day as you walk out the door."
Long before Bienville settled
Based primarily in
Wally Cummings was one of Chief's 10 children, a clan they jokingly referred to as "the 10 little Indians." Like most New Orleanians, Cummings became a staunch supporter of the Saints after they were founded in 1966 and passed his devotion on to his children.
The seeds of super fandom germinated after Cummings became friends with Leroy "Whistle Monsta" Mitchell. While accompanying Mitchell to a recording of the short-lived TV show, "Fanatics," hosted by Bob DelGiorno Jr. in the French Quarter, Cummings decided to throw on a crude native American outfit. DelGiorno Jr. picked him out of the audience before a commercial break.
"He said, 'Hey, Gris-Gris Man, take us to a commercial and put the gris-gris on
He'd grown comfortable with the idea of dressing up. He'd dressed as a chief for a couple of Mardi Gras parades in middle school. One of the various jobs he held after graduating from Grace
"That's when I really started feeling the power of acting retarded and getting attention," Cummings said.
While Cummings loved the name, he was careful not to step on the toes of Dr. John, the original Gris-Gris Man and one of the city's cultural icons. He also didn't want his character to reflect negatively in any way on the Pawnee. Gris-gris, after all, originally referred to an African voodoo amulet.

His chest plate is made of elk bone. His loin cloth is cut from antelope hide. His head piece is a handmade porcupine hair roach. He accessorizes with a turtle-shell rattle and wrist- and ankle-bands of bells.
His face paint is also designed after Pawnee ancestors. The black handprint, per Pawnee warrior lore, signifies the killing of an enemy in hand-to-hand combat, Cummings said. His other favorite pattern mimics the face of a wolf, the national symbol of the Pawnee tribe.
"The Pawnee are very prideful," Wally Cummings said. "It needed to be done with respect and good taste. He's done that so I have no problem with it."
On game days, Cummings applies the face paint in a parking lot behind Handsome Willy's, the watering hole in the CBD that serves as his launching point on game days. He punctuates his pre-game walk to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with a sacred Pawnee chant on the outside apron of the stadium, praying and blowing smoke toward the heavens. His season tickets are in the upper deck but like many of his fellow super fan colleagues he prefers to roam the Dome after kickoff.
"I'm Gris-Gris; everything is kind of based on feel," Cummings said. "People look at me like I'm crazy, but the mojo has got to be right."
Predictably, his outfit inspires plenty of banter from opposing fans, especially on the road. Trips to

This time two years ago I had my Christmas shopping done and presents wrapped.
I am about halfway done with my holiday shopping this year. Before kids, I used to be a big Black Friday shopper. I'd arise in the cold dark and get most of my shopping done in one day while taking advantage of deals. With two kids, including one who doesn't sleep well, I treasure every second of slumber. And since I hate holiday hoopla–including long lines, jammed parking lots and uncheerful people–I scramble to finish buying presents before Black Friday (although I doubt I'll be done by next week).
Apparently, I am not alone in my gift-buying goals. Most women started holiday shopping weeks–if not months–ago, according to a just-released nationwide survey of women conducted by Citi's Women & Co., Citibank's personal finance resource for women, and Real Simple magazine. Specifically:
* 41 percent begin holiday shopping before Black Friday;
* 22 percent shop year-round;
* 11 percent start shopping on Black Friday; and
* 26 percent wait until December to start holiday shopping.
All the pre-Black Friday eagerness makes sense since a growing number of stores start decorating for the holidays in the fall or even summer and require employees to work Thanksgiving night for an earlier start to Black Friday.
The survey also found that most women spend at least $700 on the holidays, with one-third dropping $1,000 or more. Despite the large sum, more than half of the women surveyed said they are trying to reduce expenses by giving handmade gifts. On the flip side, almost half said they wish they could give presents to fewer people.
Digging deeper into women's attitudes toward holiday budgeting, the survey found:
* 93 percent have some sort of holiday spending budget;
* 43 percent think it's OK to accumulate some credit card debt to have a happy holiday, yet the majority plan to pay it off in less than one month;
* 60 percent have no regrets regarding their holiday spending;
* 40 percent consider themselves bargain-hunters who visit multiple stores and clip coupons to get the best deal; and
* 57 percent spend at least $50 or more on charity during the holidays, with 13 percent giving $300 or more.
A further breakdown of holiday spending showed:
* Almost half spend at least $500 on gifts;
* 56 percent spend at least $100 on travel;
* Just over half spend at least $100 on food and entertainment;
* 73 percent spend $50 or less on holiday cards.
If I compare my holiday spending to the figures above, I'm admittedly way over. We host Christmas dinner for my parents and in-laws and spend approximately $80 on the prime rib alone. And for air travel, a family of four could easily drop $1,000 or more on tickets (with inflated prices and ridiculous fees).
For more information on the survey as well as money-saving tips, please click through the slideshow below. (And for even more saving tips, go to Real Simple, Babble and/or Mom It Forward).
What about you? Does this survey reflect your holiday-spending habits? When do you start your holiday shopping and how much do you plan to spend? Do you think it's OK to go into debt during the holidays? Any other savings tips?

TC is reporting the launch of BarMax, the $1,000 iPad App, that will help law students pass the Bar exam.

Given a space $X$, and an Eilenberg-MacLane space $K(G,n)$ (hereafter referred to as $K$), and two maps $f: X \to K$ and $g:X \to K$, let $f \times g:X \to K \times K$ map $x \in X$ to $(f(x),g(x))$. Is it the case that, in the induced map on $H^n(-,G)$, $(f \times g)^* (\alpha) = f^*(\alpha) + g^*(\alpha)$ for a generator $\alpha$ of $H^n(K \times K;G)$, where $f^*$ is the map on cohomology induced by $f \times 0$, and $g^*$ is the map on cohomology induced by $0 \times g$?
It certainly seems that it should be case, but I'm having trouble proving it. I know that for an Eilenberg-MacLane space $K(G,n)$, the universal coefficient theorem and Hurewicz theorem show that $H^n(K(G,n);G) = Hom(H_n(K(G,n)),G) = Hom(\pi_n(K(G,n),G) = Hom(G,G)$ (and, by a similar token, $H^n(K(G,n) \times K(G,n);G) = Hom(G \times G,G)$, but I don't know where to go from here. I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Stefan Evans studied BDes (Design) at Liverpool Hope University. This photographic Journal was created as an accompaniment to his degree show.
Stefan draws upon imagery from his homeland of North Wales, both structural and organic; fusing the two through collage. The outcomes boast bold imagery against subtle natural tones. This rustic, folkloric feel is atmospheric with a dark edge.
For his Ceramic work Stefan has produced a collection of vessels varying in size and shape. One set reference the structures of industrial forms while another set possess an organic quality; each with complementing graphics.
In the Textiles body of work, Stefan has created three sizable wall hangings. Sitting hand in hand with the Ceramic work they also fuse the man made and the natural. An extension and development of the initial collage's, the pieces are layered with digital prints, a dye wash and mixed media mark-making on cotton canvas.

Floyd Taylor
No Doubt
To mention the name "Taylor" in any conversation about true R&B and Soul music certainly brings to mind the legendary Johnnie Taylor. For decades, Johnnie was in the spotlight, on the radio and on the stage; he set the bar for artists of genre. Upon his untimely passing in May of 2000, it was felt that no other could fill his shoes - until April 2002 when his son, Floyd Taylor, released his aptly titled debut "Legacy." Read More
Track Listing:
- 1. We're Goin' Out On The Town
- 2. Baby, I've Changed
- 3. Go Upstairs
- 4. Slipped, Tripped, Stumbled And Fell
- 5. Hit It Right
- 6. My Bad
- 7. We're Goin' Steppin'
- 8. I've Got To Love Somebody's Baby
- 9. Unfinished Business
- 10. I Can't Stand To Be Away From You
- 11. Here's A Flower (For The Lonely Woman)
- 12. Step Into My Heart
Fans were amazed by the resemblance. Floyd sounds like his father - when he sings, when he talks, when he laughs. He quickly won the hearts of Taylor fans, both old and new, and left them begging for more.
While Floyd is proud of his roots, the success of "Legacy" helped him to establish himself as his own man - yet similar to Johnnie. He wanted to be sure that he returned with a follow-up release that would not only please both fans and critics but be even better than expected - and that is just what has been done with his newest release "No Doubt" on Malaco Records.

How 'Trojan Horse' Strategy Strengthened Obama's Current Edge
David Corn's "The Myth of the Obama Cave-In" in Mother Jones is one of the most perceptive analyses of President Obama's legislative and economic strategy yet written. Corn, a solid left-progressive and author of "Showdown: The Inside Story of How Obama Battled the GOP To Set Up the 2012 Election," tells the story of how the President shrewdly took the heat from his left flank and let the Republicans crow about how they forced the President to accept a renewal of the Bush tax cuts during his first term. In reality, however, Obama achieved something of immediate benefit to working people and laid the groundwork for a host of progressive reforms that were not likely to pass had the President chosen to let the tax cuts expire. Corn explains, citing:
...a notion that took root within the mainstream media and progressive circles: Obama surrendered in the lame-duck session of late 2010, when he and the Republicans tussled over continuing George W. Bush's tax breaks for the well-heeled. In this view, weeks after the president's party was trounced in the midterm congressional elections and weeks before the tea partyized GOPers were to take control of the House, Obama, who had vowed during the 2008 campaign to kill those tax cuts, acceded to Republican demands for continuing tax relief for those pocketing more than $250,000 a year. The establishment media reported that Obama had lost the showdown; liberal House Democrats and progressives off Capitol Hill complained Obama had turned his back on his promise and blinked. There was grousing that Obama either had no taste for a political battle or no spine (or both) and that he had sold out a fundamental principle.
However, explains Corn, "that narrative was wrong when it emerged--and it is not the key to predicting what Obama will do in the present predicament." Corn adds:
...Obama didn't wave the white flag in 2010. He turned a face-off over the Bush tax cuts into an opportunity to enact a second stimulus that he otherwise could not get past Senate Republicans. His failure at that time was not that he mustered insufficient mettle; he failed to convey to the world that he had jujitsued the GOPers.
...A game of chicken was on. Obama and the Democrats claimed the Republicans were holding tax cuts for the middle class hostage. (No tax breaks for the rich, then no tax breaks for anyone else.) And the GOPers were daring Obama to stick to his position, see all the tax cuts perish, and end up being blamed for a rise in taxes for everyone.
...In the fall of 2010--both before and after the midterm elections--Obama and his aides cooked up a different script. Fretting that the slow recovery was bottoming out, they had been searching for ways to juice up the economy. But they knew the notion of additional stimulus was a political nonstarter. Though Obama's original stimulus had worked, raising employment levels by millions of jobs (according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office), Obama had lost that message war. The idea of government spending to boost the economy had become discredited. (See the tea party victories in the congressional elections.)
Obama's aides, though, also knew that by the end of the year there would be some legislation regarding the Bush tax cuts--however that knotty issue was to be resolved--and they came up with a plan to turn this measure into something of a Trojan horse that could contain (or hide) various stimulative measures. Before the midterm elections, Obama's economic team began compiling a list of possibilities, including a payroll tax cut and various tax credits.
At a postelection meeting with labor leaders and progressive activists, several of whom were itching for a tax cut fight with the Republicans, White House aides were blunt. To win these stimulative shots, Summers told them, we're going to have to give up on killing the tax cuts for the rich. "Getting more for our people is more important than getting less for their people," he said at the meeting.
The heat from the left was formidable, and many progressives began to angrily denounce the deal as a sell-out. Corn notes, however, that "Obama was willing to eschew the fight his Democratic comrades yearned for in order to win something bigger and better: more stimulus to aid the ailing economy." Corn adds:
...Obama was looking to rack up other accomplishments during this lame-duck session, before the House would be in the hands of tea partiers. He was hoping to end the Pentagon's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, to ratify the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty, and pass the DREAM Act reforming immigration law. If he went DEFCON-1 on taxes with the Republicans, there would be no opportunity to steer these other measures through Congress in the holiday season, as it was wrapping up its business. It was quite clear: a bare-knuckles brawl on taxes would mean no more stimulus and no chance to abolish Don't Ask, Don't Tell, ratify that treaty, or pass any other legislation.
So Obama went after a deal. And what Biden cooked up with McConnell was pretty good for the White House. The package would extend the Bush tax cuts for all taxpayers for two years and would reduce estate taxes for the wealthy (a move many Democrats couldn't stand), but it also included a payroll tax cut, a child tax credit, additional unemployment insurance, renewable energy grants, and other stimulative measures. A White House chart noted that Obama had won $238 billion of stimulus in return for yielding on $114 billion in high-income tax cuts.
"In policy terms," Corn explains, "Obama clearly had gotten the better deal." However, "the media depicted the compromise as a loss for Obama, and progressive Democrats squawked mightily about the continuation of the tax cuts." However, adds Corn, "This was not full capitulation. It was a strategic retreat to accomplish a bigger mission." Corn quotes President Obama:
Well, two years ago, the economy was in a different situation. We were still very much in the early parts of recovering from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And ultimately, we came together not only to extend the Bush tax cuts, but also a wide range of policies that were going to be good for the economy at that point--unemployment insurance extensions, payroll tax extension--all of which made a difference, and is part of the reason why what we've seen now is 32 consecutive months of job growth and over 5.5 million jobs created and the unemployment rate coming down...What I said at the time is what I meant, which is this was a one-time proposition. And what I have told leaders privately as well as publicly is that we cannot afford to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. What we can do is make sure that middle-class taxes don't go up.
All of which puts the President in a stronger position to challenge the Bush tax cuts this time around. As Corn concludes, "What happened two years ago is not an indication that Obama is likely to yield in the new face-off, but that he will be assessing the political dynamics in gridlocked Washington and be willing to bargain hard for a good deal with true benefits. That's not caving in. It's governing."

Tracy Pittin was just 17 when she discovered that her thick, brown hair was gradually falling out. One day a friend cutting her hair remarked that it was noticeably thinner. Tracy couldn't believe it -- she thought her hair was her best feature, and to begin to lose it at such an early age was devastating. Unable to accept what was happening, Tracy avoided professional stylists -- anyone who might draw attention to the loss. As her hair thinned, her self-esteem declined, too.
"There simply was no information about hair loss or treatments available to women at that time," Tracy says. "It just wasn't talked about." With nowhere to go for help or answers, she went into denial. She told herself the loss was temporary, perhaps related to a crash diet she had tried. But it wasn't, and her hair only got thinner.
Although women in Tracy's position often feel alone, they aren't. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, nearly half of all adults in the U.S. will experience thinning hair by age 40. And while baldness is largely considered a male problem, for every five men who experience hair loss, there are three women who suffer as well. Hair-loss treatments are typically advertised for men, but effective options exist for women, too. But to get them, women must move beyond denying their hair loss and seek help.
Getting to the Root of Things
Determining the cause of the problem is the first step, says Richard S. Greene, MD, co-chairman of Advanced Dermatology Management and managing partner in Skin and Cancer Associates in Plantation, Fla. Greene recommends that women see a primary care physician or dermatologist for a complete workup to rule out any underlying causes, such as malnutrition, hormonal imbalances, or the autoimmune diseases lupus and scleroderma. Sometimes pregnancy, a reaction to a medication, or stress may cause hair to fall out in large clumps; fortunately, this problem usually reverses on its own.
Oddly enough, the most common type of hair loss in women like Tracy -- female pattern baldness -- is caused by testosterone, a hormone we typically associate with men. But women's bodies produce it, too. When testosterone breaks down, a chemical called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, is created, says Spenser David Kobren, founder and director of The Bald Truth Foundation and author of the book The Truth About Women's Hair Loss. In his book, Kobren explains that in both female and male pattern baldness, DHT attacks the hair follicle, causing it to shrink in diameter and produce smaller and thinner hairs until they become baby-fine or stop growing at all, allowing the scalp to become more visible. This type of hair loss frequently responds to treatment with medications or, in some cases, surgery.

PORT ANGELES — Today marks five years since the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe opened Elwha River Casino, and tribal and casino officials have a celebration lined up to mark the anniversary.
The 7,000-square-foot casino at 631 Stratton Road is honoring the occasion starting at 6 p.m. tonight with tribal dancers, a seafood buffet and fireworks.
Rena Barkley, marketing manager for the casino, said the dinner is limited to 200 people, and formal invitations were sent out to leaders from other area tribes and to platinum members of the casino's Paddle Rewards Club.
"But there will be lots to do. We're not going to turn anybody away," Barkley said.
The Elwha Klallam Dance Group will provide entertainment during dinner, and members of the Tribal Council will speak about the casino before a fireworks display at 9 p.m. tonight.
Frances Charles, chairwoman of the Lower Elwha Tribal Council, said the casino has provided benefits to both the tribe and the surrounding community.
"I think we have more than 50 people working there now," she said.
"And not all of them are tribal, so that's a big part of the economic development of our whole community."
Revenue from the casino is used to augment the tribe's programs for children and elders, said Charles.
In addition to funding after-school programs, the tribe also uses revenue from the casino to fund tutors in public schools in Port Angeles and Joyce.
The Elwha River Casino is open from 10 a.m. to midnight Sundays through Thursdays, and 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

On June 10, Nintendo took center stage at E3 2014 with their annual presentation, "Nintendo E3 Digital Event." However, since their presentation wasn't live at the Electronic Entertainment Expo itself, they needed a little flair to keep up with their competition, and with a little help from the animators over at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, the same people behind Adult Swim's hit series, "Robot Chicken," showed viewers a side of their favorite Nintendo characters that they've never seen before.
Nintendo's 2014 presentation kicked off with a hilarious skit that pokes fun at how one pronounces Nintendo COO, Reggie Fiis-Amie's last name, along with Reggie being heckled by fans in attendance, which he silences by grabbing a Fire Flower and showing them some real fire power. Other memorable moments throughout the opening include an upset Mario who leaves E3 in true diva style when no new game is announced from his franchise, a bitter confrontation between Link from "The Legend of Zelda" and his "Toon" counterpart, and a take over of the opening ceremonies by noted Nintendo villains Wario and Ganondorf.
Throughout the presentation, viewers also saw other animated behind-the-scenes moments with other popular Nintendo stars. One noted moment included an awkward conversation between Bowser and Princess Peach about him capturing her so many times over the years. Things get even more awkward during a conversation with "StarFox" hero Fox McCloud and "Punch-Out" fighter Little Mac, about why Mac never takes off his boxing gloves. Mac tries to pour and drink a cup of coffee with his gloves still on, ultimately spilling the hot beverage on himself.
"Robot Chicken's" presence at the Nintendo event added to the excitement and energy of the company's annual E3 presentation. Highlights of the event included the announcement of new games, such as "Mario Maker," "Yoshi's Wooly World," and "Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker," along with the announcement of both Mii Brawler and "Kid Icarus" star Lady Palutena being added to the roster of playable characters for the upcoming "Super Smash Bros." game for both Wii U and 3DS.
