K-State Earns Sixth-Place Finish at Firestone Invitational
K-State Earns Sixth-Place Finish at Firestone Invitational
Oct. 9, 2012
AKRON, Ohio - Senior co-captain Curtis Yonke charged up the leaderboard to lead the Kansas State men's golf team to a sixth-place finish in the Firestone Invitational at the par-72, 7,125-yard Firestone Country Club on Tuesday. The Wildcats carded a second-round 293, the third-lowest score of the day, on their way to an overall score of 13-over 589.
"We had another decent round today. We would have liked to have another 18 holes but that is just the way that it worked out," said head coach Tim Norris about the weather-shortened 36-hole event. "Curtis Yonke had a solid round today and the others had some decent scores. Overall, I was pretty pleased with where we are, but I would love to see us play our best golf in these last two events of the fall."
Coming into the final day of play in an 11-way tie for 30th, Yonke was able to move 20 spots up the leaderboard, thanks to a 2-under 70 in the second round, to finish the tournament at even-par 144. Yonke tied with Louisville's Robin Sciot-Siegrist for 10th place, marking the second top-10 finish of the season for the Overland Park, Kan., native.
Ben Juffer finished in a tie for 22nd place as he carded a 2-over 74 in both the first and second rounds to finish at 4-over 148. Juffer bounced back from a slow start in which he started the day with a bogey and double bogey but followed that up with three second-round birdies.
Junior Daniel Wood and sophomore Kyle Weldon ended the event in a tie for 30th place. The duo recorded an overall score of 5-over 149, including a 4-over 76 and a 2-over 74 in second-round action for Wood and Weldon, respectively.
Competing in the K-State scoring lineup for the first time this season, junior David Klaudt rounded out the scoring for the Wildcats as he tallied a 7-over 151 to finish in a tie for 45th place.
Maryland golfer Sean Bosdosh won the individual portion of the event as he recorded a 5-under 139. Ball State ran away with the team title as it fired a seven-under 569 to best second-place finisher St. Mary's by 13 strokes.
K-State will have the next two weeks off as they prepare for the 2012 Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate, Monday and Tuesday, October 22 and 23, at the New Mexico State University Golf Course in Las Cruces, N.M.

Tarnoff, New York, NX., assignors, by mesne assignments, to Dorothy B. TarnoE, New York, N.Y.
Filed Sept. 23, 1957, Ser. No. 685,601 4 Claims. (Cl. 'l5-506) This invention relates to a product useful in feminine hygiene for cleansing and deodorizing and more particularly to a pad saturated with liquid and useful by females after eliminations to achieve a high order of personal cleanliness by removing malodorous products and detritus which remain on the body surface, while avoiding irritation of sensitive skin tissue.
Toilet tissue to cleanse the external pelvic region after urination or other eliminau'on is irritating to the skin and frequently ineifective to obtain cleanliness. Washing with soap and water this area of the body after elimination, is frequently inconvenient, if not a practical irnpossibility because facilities like a bidet for so doing may not be available at the desired time or place.
It is among the objects of the present invention to provide a readily disposable pad saturated with a cleansing and deodorizing composition, hermetically sealed in a container and of a size to be carried, for example, in a ladys handbag, which pad when applied directly after removal from 'the hermetically-sealed container without moistening, to the female pelvic region, particularly the vulval and anal areas, gives eiiicient cleansing and deod'onizing action and this without irritating the skin areas `to which it is applied.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the following detailed description thereof taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which shows for illustrative purposes a preferred embodimen't of the invention.
In this drawing:
' FIG. 1 is a perspective View of a preferred embodi- `rnent of this invention, several of the layers forming the hermetically sealed container being broken away to show the interior structure of the container and the absorbent pad sealed therein; and
FIG. 2 is a vertical section through the product of FIG. 1 taken in a plane indicated by line 2--2 on FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawing, indicates a product comprising a hermetically-sealed container -11 and a pad 12 saturated with a cleansing and deodorizing composition hereinafter described, so that the pad 12 is completely dampened. The absorbent pad may contain from 2 to 6 times its dry weight of aqueous composition. In the case of an absorbent non-woven cotton pad, about 5 times its dry weight of composition usually produces an excellent product.
The hermetically-sealed container desirably is made by superimposing two laminated sheets, one above the other to form a rectangular envelope sealed on three sides leaving the fourth side open. Each laminated sheet consists of an outer protective layer 13', for example cellulose acetate or paper; an intermediate vaportight and opaque layer 14, e.g. metal foil such as aluminum foil; and an inner layer or lining 15 of chemically inert material, e.g. Plioiihn or Saran. Each of the layers 13, 14 and 15 are iilms, e.g. have an individual thickness of approximately 0.008 to v0.0l0inch. Desirably,
the inner layer is heat sealable, 'and the sheets forming the laminate are bonded together so that the sealing of the inner layers to each other forms a hermetically sealed container. Instead of forming the container by placing two laminated sheets in contact with each other as shown in FIG. 1 and heat-sealing the resultant structure along three marginal edges leaving the fourth open, a single laminated sheet may be folded along its transverse median and two marginal edges intersecting the fold line heat-sealed to form a container open along the remaining marginal edge.
In one manner of producing the hygienic product of this invention, the pad is inserted in the container through the open end, the liquid composition then introduced into the container so that it is absorbed by the pad and the open side of the container sealed to produce a hermetically-sealed container having the saturated pad therein. Alternatively, the pad may be impregnated or saturated with the composition lthe saturated pad inserted in the container and the open side sealed. Still another method is to place saturated pads between two sheets of laminate constructed as hereinbefore described and heat-sealing the marginal edges of the two sheets in superimposed relation to form a hermetically-sealed container with the saturated pad therein. l
The absorbent pad is of non-irritating, non-linting fibrous material which disintegrates readily so that it is easily disposable. It may be either woven or nonwoven, preferably the latter, because non-woven materials disintegrate more readily than woven materials. Suitable are the fabrics used Ifor pharmaceutical or surgery purposes, such as the non-woven bleached cotton of soft annel-like texture known as Webril (manufactured by Kendall Mills), or high quality high tensile strength absorbent paper, preferably unsized and which readily disintegrates when flushed with Water. Absorbent fibrous material having a dry thickness of from about 0.025 to 0.075 inch performs satisfactorily. While it is preferred to make the pad of an approximately reotangular shape, say 3 by 5 inches in width and length, it will be understood the pad may be suitably dimensioned as desired. Also, the pads may be folded one or more times to reduce the size of the nal product; such pads may be removed from the container and unfolded partially or completely for use.
The aqueous composition with which the pad is impregnated should have a pH of from 5 to 6.5, contain at least 85% by Iweight of water, bacteriostatic agent, and a surface active agent which will not inactivate the bacteriostatic agent and is an ecient epidermal cleanser. This aqueous composition may also contain an emollient t0 prevent drying out of the skin and vto leave a pleasing, non-greasy softness to the skin. Preferably, but not neoessarily, the composition also contains a humectant to maintain a desired degree of dampness in the saturated pad, a substance such as menthol to leave a physical sensation of coolness upon :application of the saturated pad and a perfumery scent in a concentration to impart a pleasing odor upon opening of the container but not necessarily sufficient to impart any appreciable odor to the body iafter application of the pad. When using emulsions to impregnate the pad, the emulsions may contain a colloidal peptizing agent to stabilize same.
It is desirable to have the aqueous composition on the acid side of the neutral point; As indicated above, the pH of the composition should be within the range of from 5 to 6.5 to avoid the irritating laction of alkali upon delicate skin membranes and on ordinary skin tissue inthe case of soap susceptible individuals. By excluding alkaline soap from the composition, the pH of the composition is maintained within the desired range. To insure having the pH of the composition within the range stated, smallyamounts of non-toxic or innocuous acidic substances such as orthophosphoric acid, citric acid, rstearic acid, gluconic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid or potassium acid tartrate may be incorporated therein. By maintaining the pH within the range given above, the bacterio- 3 static action of the bacteriostatic agents hcreinafter disclosed i's enhanced as compared with their action in an alkaline environment.
rIlhe bacteriostatic agent employed is a chlorinated phenol such as any of the following. or a mixture thereof (a) Hexachlorophene which is 2,2.-methylene bis (3,4,6- tichlorophenol) (la) Bithionol which is 2,2.-thio bis (,4,6dichlorophenol) (c) D.C.M.X. which is 2,4dichfloro3,5xylenol (d) 2,2'ethylidene bis (3,4,6-trichlorophenol) These compounds inhibit the growth and reproduction of' transient microorganisms present on skin surfaces 'which microorganisms are believed to be responsible for the putrefaction of certain odorous portions of normal perspiration, giving rise to noticeable body odor. They "are sufficiently odorless in themselves that they do not 'cause the user to be aware of an objectionable medicinal odor when applied in accordance with the present invention. When so applied, they are absorbed or retainedv on the skin and hair so that the desired bacteriosftaticaction is maintained during the period between applications. Moreover, when applied in accordance with the present invention, they do not irritate' the delicate tissue to Iwhich they are applied and are nontoxic even'- though amorbed through the skin surfacel or abrasions thereon and used repeatedly. v`The concentration of these bacteriostatic agents found suitable for use in the impregnating composition isv in the range' of 0.1 to 2% of the weight of the composition, preferably 0.1 to 1%. Preferred range of concentrations for hexachlotophene is 0.1 -to 0.4%; for' bithionol it is from 0.2 to 1%. It is particularly preferred to use an amount near thev upper portion of the ranges given, to avoid a possible lowering in activity of the bacteriostatic vagent when the product of the invention is' used to Ycounteract odors arising from exceptionally thigh level of proteinaceous menses.
As thev neutral surface active Iag'ent, itis preferred to employ anionic or non-ionic surface active agents which are non-imitating to the skin and will not react and thus inactivate the bacteriostatic agent. Preferred classes of Ianionicsurface active agents are:
(l) Salts of sulfated straight chain saturated or unsaturated fatty alcohols containing from. 8 to 18 carbon atoms, such as: i
' (a) Sodium lauryl sul-fate (b) Ammoniumlauryl sulfate (c)- Sodium oleyl sulfate l (2) Salts of sulfated branched chain aliphatic alcohols,
` such as:
. (d) The sodium sulfate of 7-methyl-undecanol-4 (3) Salts of the reaction product of fatty acyl chlorides with sarcosine, such as:
(e) Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate .(4) Salts of the sulfated mono'glycerides of straight chain saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, such as:
(f) Sodium myristyl monoglyceryl sulfate (5) Salts of the isethionic esters of saturated or unsaturated fatty aoids, such as;
(g) Sodium lauryl isethionate v (h) Sodium oleyl isethion-ate (6) Salts of sulfoacetic esters of saturated or unsaturated fatty alcohols, such as:
Y (i) Sodium ylauryl sulfoacetate (7) Salts of polyalkyl esters of aliphatic` polycarboxyl sulfonic acids, such as:
(j) Sodiumdioctyl sulfosuccinate H (k) Sodium trihexyl sulfotricarballylate (8) Salts of sulfated poflyoxyethylene ethers of alkyl phenols, such as:
(l) Sodium octyl phenoxyethoxyethyl ether sulfonate Examples of non-ionic surface active agents whichmay be used along with` the anionic surface active agents hereinbefore enumerated or alone are as follows: Polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, octyl phenoxy polyether ethanol, and nonyl phenoxy polyether ethanol.
These surface active agents when used in accordance with this invention, promote the easy removal of soil, stains, malodorous products and other detritus from the skin and hair without unnecessary rubbing. Moreover, they assist in the emulsiiication and stabilization of the bacteriostatic agentv and emollient oils (described hereinafter), in the emulsion. Surprisingly, the combination of anionic and non-ionic surface active agents acts synergistically in that their detergency and the emulsiiiability of the bacteriostatic agent and emollient oils is greater than the sum of the results of the individual surface active agents alone at the same concentration.
The concentration of' surface active agent is within the range of 0.05 to 2% of the total weight of the emulsion, preferably 0.1t'o 0.5% for each surface active agent used, Where more than one is used. By using a mixture of non .ionic md anionic surface active agents, each in amount Within the range above given (0.1 to 0.5%), foaming is mitigated and any possible defatting action on the skin tissue is minimized. Moreover, by using an amount of surface active agent Within this range, the amount of nonvolatile residue left on the slin after application of the product of this invention is sufliciently small to be non-objectionable. y
The emollient employed is a non-rancidifying fatty oil or aliphatic fatty alcohol having from 12 to 18 carbon atoms or a multisterol of lanolin or derivatives of these. Examples of such emollient are: isopropyl myrist'ate-palmitate (Deltyl Extra), lanolin sterols (Amerchol L 101), acetylated lanolin (Modulen), acetylated distilled monoglycerides (Myvacet) and cetyl alcohol. These emollients act 'to prevent or relieve defatting of the skin tissue brought about by the surface active agents, to leave a pleasing non-greasy softness to the skin and give physical Irelief from itching.
The emollients are employed in a concentration of from 1 `to 10% byweight, preferably 2 to 8% by weight based on the weight of the emulsion. Instead of the individual emollients listed above, a mixture thereof may be used, the amount of the mixture falling within the concentration range hereinabove given.
Examples of humectants which may be employed, if it is desired to-incorpor-ate same in the impregnating composition, are propylene glycol, glycerine, sorbitol and diethylene glycol. They are added to maintain a desired degree of dampness in the pad should the hermetically sealed container be opened accidentally. Propylene glycol also serves as afgood solvent for the bacteriostatic agent andemollient and being water-soluble aids infemulsifying these constituents. The humectants are desir-ably employed within the range of 1 to 15%, preferably '2. to
Colloidal peptizing agents which can be used are: carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, magnesium aluminum silicate, polyacrylic acid and amine stearates. They aidy in smulsifying the water-insoluble compounds and stabilize the emulsion against separating or creaming on storage. They are used in a concentration of 0.1 to 10%, preferably 0.2 to 5% by weight. The more viscous peptizing agents are preferably used in smaller amounts within the range above given.
If methanol is incorporated, it is employed in an amount o'f from 0.02 to 0.5%, preferably 0.05 to 0.3% by weight. Onlyr a fraction of a percent of a perfumery scent' may be incorporated in the emulsion. The amount used' should `be such as to give a noticeable odor to the pad upon opening the hermetically-sealed container but not. such as to remain on the skin for any great length of time after application.
The constituents of the impregnating composition may be mixed'at' any temperature'below the boiling point of lwater and at or above room temperature.' It is prefer- -able to form a solution containing the bacteriostatic agent -and the emollients in a suitable solvent at a temperature -of from 35 to 90 C. and to this solution add a solution containing the surface active agent, peptizing agent, if used, While agitating and at approximately the same tern- .perature The resultant emulsion desirably is passed 'through a colloid'mill or other means of reducing the .particle size of the internal dispersed phase.
The following examples are given for purposes of illusltrau'ng the invention. It will be understood the inven- 4tion is not limited to these examples. In the following `examples the materials used are of high purity; the baclteriostatic agent and the emollient used are of USP grade; `the water used is distilled water. All parts are given on `a weight basis.
Example I A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.3 part of hexachlorophene, 3 parts isopropyl myristate, 0.1 part of rmenthol, by warming to 40-45 C. and then added while :stirring to a mixture containing 0.5 part of magnesium :aluminum silicate (Veegum), 0.2 part of polyoxy-ethylene :sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) and 25 parts of water :also at 40 45 C. After mixing for from 2 to 5 minutes, f0.2 part of lavender oil is added. The resultant emulsion is passed through a colloid mill to form a stable emulsion. This emulsion is then diluted with a solution containing 0.2 part of sodium lauryl sulfate and 70.5 parts of water. To this emulsion 0.02 part of citric acid is added so that it has a pH within the range of 5.5 to 6.0. 9
-grams of this emulsion is applied to a pad of unwoven cotton fabric 3" x 5" in dimension weighing on the average 1 gram. The pad is thus completely dampened.
The pad is hermetically sealed in a container of the type shown in the drawing to form the product ready for use when desired by simply opening the container.
Example Il 5 parts of propylene glycol, 0.5 part of sodium octyl phenoxyethoxy ethyl ether sulfonate (Triton X-200), 0.5 part of Veegum and 89.0 parts of water are heated to 85 C. and then `added to a mixture of 0.3 part of bithionol, 4 parts of lanolin multisterols (Amerchol L-101) and 0.5 part of stearic acid also at 85 C. This resulting suspension is agitated until the temperature falls to 45 C. and then 0.2 part of the perfumcry scent is added and the mixture stirred until it reaches room temperature. The emulsion is incorporated in a pad and the saturated pad in a hermetically-sealed container as described above 1in connection with Example I.
Example Ill 0.3 part of hexachlorophene is dissolved in l5 parts fof propylene glycol. This solution is added while stir- Jing to a solution containing 0.5 part of methyl cellulose, 0.2 part of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate (Tween 60), 84 parts of Water and one drop of a floral perfumery scent. The resultant dispersion is poured on small fabric pads each Weighing on the average of 2.2 grs. so that the average weight take-up of each pad is 5.6 grs. Each pad is then heat-sealed inside a container such as shown in the drawings and described above.
Example IV A solution of propylene glycol containing 0.3 part of hexachlorophene, l0 parts of propylene glycol and 0.2 part of lanolin is added to a mixture of 0.3 part sodium lauryl sulfate, 0|.5 part of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and 88.7 parts of water while stirring to produce an emulsion. The emulsion is employed to impregnate pads and the impregnated pads are each sealed in a container as described in the preceding examples.
Example V In this example, 0.3 part of hexachlorophene is dissolved in 2.5 parts of isopropyl myristate fwhile agitating and heating to 40 C. This solution is poured into an aqueous solution consisting of 0.5v partof Veegum, 005 part of sodium lauryl sulfate and 15 parts of water. The emulsion formed is passed through a colloid mill and thereafter diluted ywith 79.4 parts of water containing 0.?. part of sodium lauryl sulfate and 0.05 pant of a lavender perfume. This emulsion is soaked into a nonwoven cotton fabric (Webril-R) and excess liquid expressed therefrom leaving a residual liquid of about 5 times the dry Weight of the fabric. The damp pads are then packaged into hermetically-sealed containers of the type shown in the drawings and hereinabove described.
Example VI Melt the following ingredients and heat mixturel to Parts D.C.M.X 0.2 Amerchol L-101 f 6.0 Modulan 2.0 Stearic acid 2.0 Glyceryl monostearate 2.0
Dissolve 0.15 part of 4-chloro-3,5dimethyl phenol in a mixture of lanolin multisterol, 1.0 part cetyl alcohol, 1.0 part, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, 0.5 part, by raising the temperature to 70 C. Add to this, While stirring vigorously, a solution of 1 part glycerin, 0.25 part sodium lauroyl isethionate in 25 parts of Water, also at the same temperature. After 5 minutes add 71 parts of Water at room temperature and 0.1 part of perfumery oil, and stabilize by passing this y dispersion through a colloid mill. The resultant emulsion is employed to impregnate the pads and then the impregnated pads are each sealed in a container as described in the preceding examples.
Example VIII A solution is made, at 85 C., of 0.25 part of hexachlorophene, 4.0 parts of lanolin multisterole, 2.0 parts of acetylated lanolin, 2.0 parts of stearic acid, 6.0 parts of neutral glyceryl monostearate, and 4.0 parts of petrolatum. To this mixture is added an aqueous solution also at 85 C. of 5.0 parts of glycerine, 0.5 part of sodium octyl phenoxyethoxyethyl ether sulfonate and 76 parts of water. The resultant emulsion is stirred until the temperature falls to 45 C., then 0.25 part of perfume are added and stirring continued until room temperature is reached. The resultant emulsion is employed to impregnate the pads and then the impregnated pads are each sealed in a container as described in the preceding examples.
The substitution of other bacteriostatic agents, emollients and surface active agents disclosed herein for these respective constituents employed in the above examples can be made; the resultant emulsions are satisfactory for use in impregnating pads.
It will be noted that the present invention provides a hygienic product in the form of a readily disposable pad saturated with a cleansing and deodorizing composition hermetically sealed and of a size to be carried, for example, in a ladys handbag. The hermetically-sealed container can readily -be opened by a simple tearing orperation. If desired, it may be provided with a score line 'which facilitates the tearing of the container to give ready access to the saturated pad therein. The pad may be applied directly as it is removed from the container without moistening it by wiping, daubing or swabbing to the skin and hair' ofV the pelvic region and when thus applied gives efficient cleansing and deodorizing action andl this without irritation. On the contrary, it leaves a pleasing, cooling physical condition and leaves so litt-le residual liquid on the skin surface that no further drying by towel or paper is required. After use, the pad can be disposed of `by flushing away or in any other sanitary manner. AThus, the present invention makes available for the first time an article specically qualified to serve the function of the ybidet iixture, so v/idely -used throughout Europe and South America, and this in Aa manner whichy is simple, convenient, effective and inexpensive.

On Monday, May 30, Smart Commute Markham, Richmond Hill held our 9th annual Bike to Work Day! Over 130 eager cyclists, exhibitors and volunteers helped us kick-off Bike Month (May 30 to June 30) with a 7.5 km group ride under sunny, blue skies. Smart Commute MRH was excited to include a few new additions this year that aligned with our goals of increasing cycling along Highway 7, adding a scenic stretch through David Hamilton Park and promoting safe cycling with an experienced team leader.
Beginning at 7:30, cyclists converged at MMM Group, a WSP Company to enjoy breakfast, bike safety checks from Evolution Cycles, and stretching and soft tissue therapy from the
Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.
Just before departing for the ride, cyclists heard welcoming remarks and speeches from MMM Group CEO Hugo Blasutta, City of Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti, Smart Commute MRH Director Flo McLellan, Town of Richmond Hill Ward 4 Councillor David West, Officer Derek Traimer and Road Watch Committee President Bruce Chau, and York Regional Police Officer Jeff Reid. Each speaker expressed their support for cycling initiatives within Markham and Richmond Hill, and stressed the importance of riding safely and obeying the rules of the road, while getting exercise and choosing a sustainable commute.

One of the new additions to this year's ride included separating participants into small groups led by "experienced cyclists" who were identified by bright or reflective clothing to provide guidance and advice for all Bike to Work Day participants.

Instead of repeating last year's route that travelled north on Commerce Valley Drive West and West Beaver Creek, cyclists rode west along Highway 7 in the dedicated bike lanes before heading north on Valleymede Drive, east on Briggs Avenue and north on Blackmore Avenue. After a brief ride on a multi-use path through David Hamilton Park, cyclists continued east on West Beaver Creek to HDR for a water break and prize giveaways!
Check out the full gallery of images at our Facebook page!
Following the ride, we received lots of positive feedback from many participants who said they enjoyed cycling along Highway 7, and wished the route extended even further! The Smart Commute MRH team was thrilled to receive such input, and we hope that more people will be encouraged to try cycling Highway 7 to work or for leisure. We look forward to seeing increased two-wheeled traffic in the Highway 7 bike lanes this summer!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Bike to Work Day event! Special thanks to our partners and sponsors:

A DRIVER has walked away with minor injuries after his vehicle overturned.
The man, who is in his 40s, suffered minor head and arm injuries and insisted on taking himself to hospital.
The Nissan Terrano 4x4 flipped onto its roof at the junction between the A449 Worcester Road and Bank Street, in Malvern.
West Midlands Ambulance Service were called to reports of a vehicle on its roof at 6.47pm yesterday (April 19).
An ambulance spokesman said the man was fully conscious and walking around outside the car.
"He said he would make his own way to hospital," the spokesman said.
"Thankfully, in this particular case the man involved appears to have escaped with minor injuries and did not require an ambulance to transport him to hospital.
"As always, we encourage all road users to take care and remain vigilant whether on four wheels or two.
"Our crews attend lots of serious road traffic collisions throughout the region and are therefore more than aware of the potential dangers the roads hold."
The spokesman added that the only patient they treated was believed to be the driver and that no other vehicles were involved in the incident.
The ambulance service sent an ambulance and a rapid response paramedic to the incident.
One eyewitness described the scene as chaotic and said the driver walked away with minor injuries.
She added that he was towing a camper van, which had broken down, and flipped over after braking.
"He had come from the Ledbury direction and had come to the traffic lights and as he came around the corner he was met by stationary cars," she said.
"He braked and he tipped over. It think the weight just sent him over. It went over with a bang. His window was out."
Severn Trent Water has temporary traffic lights on Worcester Road between Zetland Road and North Malvern Road.
The company has also closed the junction between the A449 and the North Malvern Road, to enable the installation of a new water pipe.
The two-way temporary lights and the junction closure will remain in place until Friday, April 28.
West Mercia Police said they were called to a collision involving one vehicle at 6.50pm and managed a temporary road closure.
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service also attended the scene after a call at 6.48pm.
Two fire crews from Malvern were sent to the crash.

I'm OK with the Pentagon giving the U.N. permission to use force against American civilians ONLY if they use it on the right people, such as terrorists and anyone trying to harm the good Americans.
Force used on bad people? Sure. No problem with that.
MILITARY TIMES – UNITED NATIONS — The United States has announced its support for a set of principles that give a green light for U.N. peacekeeping troops and police to use force to protect civilians in armed conflicts.
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power told a high-level U.N. meeting Wednesday focusing on the responsibility to protect civilians that the United States was "proud" and "humbled" to join 28 other countries that have pledged to abide by the 18 pledges.
U.N. peacekeepers from these 29 countries are now required to act in cases where civilians are in danger.
If the U.N. wants to visit Dylann Roof in a prison shower and show an M-16 where the sun doesn't shine, then be my guest.
If the U.N. wants to drive over some Black Lives Matter protesters in a tank, then be my guest.
If the U.N. wants to feed Rosie O'Donnell a pigeon cake, then be my guest.
If the U.N. wants to twerk with Obama's baby girl, then be my guest.
If the U.N. wants to send rapist criminal refugees back to their country, then be my guest.
But if the U.N. wants to abuse any power towards a good American citizen who pays taxes and isn't a leech to the system, then I have a problem with that.
Power is great until it's abused. Let's hope the U.N. doesn't use their force on the people who love this country, but instead sneak around and eliminate some threats to our great America.
If that's what happens, then I'm certainly happy with U.N. having some power.
But if it gets abused, then we've made a terrible mistake and I hope that's not what happens.

Brand Focus | Rimmel Favourites
I chose to chitchat about Rimmel today. My all time favourite make up brand. I love pouring my eyes over a Rimmel stand and looking at all their makeup and latest products... I get some sort of thrill out of it! Weird, I know. Some people like roller coaster rides, I like make up- that's the way the cookie crumbles. Enough about cookies.
1. Hide the Blemish concealer | 2. Natural bronzer in 022 Sun bronze | 3. Professional eyebrow pencil in 001 dark Brown | 4. Stay Matte powder in 001 transparent | 5. Kate Moss lipstick in 101 | 6. 60 second nail varnish in 303 raw as night | 7. Scandaleyes flex mascara in black
(Little disclaimer: I was inspired by Essie Button's Youtube channel for this post who does a brand focus video where she discusses products from that brand she loves and about the brand too- I decided to do a written version. Anyhoo, on with the post.)
I selected my favourite products of Rimmel to share with you. First of all, the Hide the Blemish concealer, probably the first concealer I ever used. Shaped and formed like a lipstick and it literally does what it says, it hides the blemishes. Another great product of Rimmel's- its powders. I have literally never used any other mattifying powder than Stay Matte since I ever started wearing make-up, I can't get over how good and how cheap it is. Some of my latest discoveries are the Rita Ora nail polish and the Kate Moss lipstick. Despite Rimmel being a pretty low-priced, high street brand- they've worked with some big names which gives the brand a young, current feel. And last but not least, their eye products are my all time favourite. The mascaras are never much more than £10 and have the quality of a designer mascara so if you are on the hunt for the perfect mascara, I'm sure Rimmel will have one for you. I am also currently loving their eyebrow pencil which goes perfectly with my brow shade and has a little brush with it too.
What I love most about Rimmel, in case I haven't mentioned already, is how cheap it is! You get what you pay for and more. I think it makes me feel quite patriotic too, it being a British brand with British models and music artists representing it. They're always bringing out new and exciting products, stunning coloured eyeshadows, lipsticks and also great foundations and powders all of great quality. I will always stay loyal to Rimmel as they were the first brand of make up I ever tried and I (including my mum and sister too) still use it to this day.

Generally it is easy to keep track of purchase actions of consumers but it is fairly difficult to find out why they buy. Tools from neuromarketing, such as eye tracking, and physiological measurement methods can provide great insight into consumers' decision processes, product preferences and emotional effects in shopping experiences and advertisement.
Companies invest more than 400 billion dollar every year on marketing and advertising campaigns. This is a significant number, which makes it even more unfortunate that it is difficult to examine the effectiveness of its impact. Conventional methods for testing and predicting the success of a campaign highly depend on the willingness of consumers to participate and on their competency in understanding and conveying their feelings towards a certain advertisement. This is where neuromarketing comes into play. Cutting-edge methods and technologies for directly monitoring the consumer's cognitive states and emotional exposure when confronted with stimuli are scientifically approved to be effective. Traditional methods become much more efficient combined with these physiological measures (neuroscientific methods).
The best way to understand what neuromarketing really means is probably to look at the classic Pepsi versus Coca-Cola challenge. Both brands are very strong and have been marketed for over 100 years. Yet, they have used tremendous amounts of resources the last decades fighting for marginal market shares. In 1975 Pepsi sponsored an event where respondents could taste both brands and then determine a winner. Pepsi claimed to be the winner of this study and used this advantage in its marketing strategy. So if Pepsi is the better tasting beverage, why is Coca-Cola beating its sales? The answer can be found in neuromarketing research and brain imaging.
We usually associate neuromarketing with brain research, hence neuroscience. With cutting edge technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), galvanic skin response (GSR), eye tracking and facial expression analysis researchers estimate respondent's cognitive load, motivation, arousal, attention and emotional response to certain marketing stimuli.
A few years after this test and with the new cutting-edge technologies in mind, a scientist, Read Montague, performed the same test while scanning the brains of the respondents with an fMRI scanner. When tested "blind", the respondents preferred the taste of Pepsi to the taste of Coca-Cola. Here the ventral putamen, or also called the reward center of the brain, exposed a way greater preference. However, when the respondents were aware of the brand they tasted, Coca-Cola was preferred. In this case a different brain region, the medial prefrontal cortex, was activated and favored Coca-Cola. This specific brain region is associated with cognitive functions like judging, preferring, thinking and self-imaging. The outcome of this study clearly proves that Pepsi is the better tasting brand but Coca-Cola has more effective marketing efforts that lead to positive associations in the consumer's mind. It shows once more that brand image influences consumer choice tremendously.
The aim of neuromarketing is to understand consumer's buying behavior. Decision-making is mostly unconscious, the idea of "the homo economicus" absolete and willingness to buy proven to be an emotional process. Therefore, observing and interpreting human emotions is the new way to go. When knowing which emotions are relevant for consumers to make a purchase decision, marketing efforts can easier be addressed and suppliers can try to match consumer's needs even better. In general, this knowledge is mostly used for promotions and advertising, product design, pricing, store design and the overall consumer experience.

HAMMOND — An "unresolved dice game" led to the shooting injuries of two people Monday afternoon on Quick Boulevard, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.
Multiple shots were fired into a crowd gathered at a home at 13016 Quick Blvd., where deputies found gun shell casings near the front door of the residence, sheriff's spokeswoman Dawn Panepinto said in a news release.
One occupant of the home was wounded and a bystander was shot in the stomach, Panepinto said. Both were taken to North Oaks Medical Center with injuries believed to be nonlife-threatening.
Investigators have identified two people of interest in the case and are continuing to interview witnesses, Panepinto said.

"The Monster" is considered one of Crane's top four stories, but is left out of many collections. Don't miss it. It's a wonderful telling about the town of Whilomville, in which Henry Johnson lives and other Crane stories are set as well, including "The Knife". Henry is a buddy of the Doctor's son, Jimmie. They mutually discuss the Doctor, his doings, and their shortcomings. Henry takes care of the Doctor's place, drives him on his country rounds, and serves as a mentor to Jimmie.
Henry is a handsome black man respected and watched in the community. He has style and panache. He struts like a lord in his finery while having a good word for everyone.
One night there is a terrible fire, which turns out to be at the Doctor's. Henry bravely saves Jimmie, but is permanently scarred in the process. The town is scarred of Henry because of his disfigurement. The Doctor stands up to him because he can. But the tragic last scene, as memorable as any disappointment in literature, is when his wife has invited 16 women over for her Wednesday tea and only one shows up. This one is the wife of the grocer who warns the Doctor that he better get Henry out of town or he will be ostracized. To console his wife he says, "Don't cry Grace. Don't cry." The story goes on with "As he sat holding her head on his shoulder, Trescott (The Doctor) found himself occasionally trying to count the cups. There were fifteen of them." Those 15 cups represent them being cast out of the town's center forevermore. Another Crane beauty.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are a blast to watch. If you're one of those nerds that pays way too much money for an MLB.tv package, I suggest catching Steve Berthiaume and crew call one of their games. I've always watched the Los Angeles Dodgers late-night solely because Vin Scully is a human milestone of speaking, but Berthiaume is pretty tangential and interesting.
They're incredibly fun — young speedsters all around the OF, a shortstop whose defense is worth three tickets' admission, the robotic hitting machine first baseman, a few solid arms…and a soulless manager.
Even if you don't have an interest in the game, I still suggest watching a game. The Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants, Vin Scullies and Tampa Bay Rays all fall into that category.
One of the best things about the Dbacks is that aforementioned set of young arms. The one whose fantasy value I, with the help of reader @Capper2227, am most interested in — and the reason you're here — is 23-year-old southpaw Patrick Corbin. What can we expect through the rest of the season?
Corbin comes with somewhat decent credentials. Baseball Prospectus ranked him Arizona's number-eight prospect prior to 2011 and their 12th best prior to 2012. Jonathan Mayo, in his "MLB.com 2011 prospect watch", ranked Corbin number five in the Dbacks' system. Both parties forecasted him as a middle to back-of-the-rotation starter. He's always had decent stuff, but nothing that'll blow your hat off or make you press rewind.
What you like to see in that type of starter is control and a decent K/BB ratio — Corbin has just that. From Rookie ball in 2009 to Triple-A in 2012, he accrued a 2.3 BB/9 and 3.67 SO/BB. He even survived 52.1 innings in the nuclear launching pad of the PCL in 2012, with a 3.44 ERA. Good? Good. Wondrous? Not wondrous. Fantasy relevant? Yes, indeed.
Now, though, you're like "whoooAaaAAAaaAAA who is this guy?!" 5-0 with a 1.75 ERA 1.058 WHIP? Sweet! Seven K/9? I'll take it. Three K/BB? Oh baby. I admit, those numbers are pretty, and Corbin's made it look pretty, too.
But some might remember Corbin's MLB time last year: a 4.54 ERA and 1.327 WHIP in 107 innings while going 6-8. So, which guy is he?
Last year, Corbin was victimized by a crazy-high 3.1 HR% and 9.3% extra-base hit rate. Balls were flying over the wall and finding the gaps at super-high, unsustainable rates. The home runs were especially unreasonable. Part of the reason was that he was only getting first-pitch strikes in 58% of at-bats.
Now that home run rate is down to 1.1%, a rate that might be a little too low for a fly-ball pitcher whose home park is Chase Field, but one that has a better chance to remain steady than last year's. Why the sudden change?
According to Fangraphs' PITCHf/x, Corbin is throwing fewer four-seamers and change-ups for more two-seamers and sliders. Last year he was throwing his change 14.7% of the time despite it being his lowest-valued pitch, according to the PITCHf/x pitch values — hitters hit .328 and hit 21.4% of their homers against it. They only struck out four times and walked three times in 218 times Corbin threw it.
Now he's throwing it on 9.3% of pitches, and the 5.4% decrease has resulted in a 4.4% increase in slider frequency, a pitch that is much more effective. Its "pitch value" has gone down with its increase in frequency, but hitters are still only hitting the slider for a .114 clip and have struck out 29 times on 133 sliders.
In regard to the change in fastball type, Corbin's throwing his two-seamers 12.7% more often and has decreased the frequency of his four-seamer, a pitch that yielded a .366 batting average last year, by 11.6%.
This change could be a result of Corbin's 71% first-pitch strike rate. Miguel Montero is able to call more moving pitches because, obviously, the two don't find themselves down in the count as much. Corbin's not being forced to try and sneak suspect 1-0 changeups for a strike anymore and is commanding his pitches well enough for that to continue.
Fantasy World consensus still doubts Corbin's consistency, so you might still be able to grab him at value. He's now owned in 100% of ESPN standards so you he won't be free, but would I trade Homer Bailey or Tony Cingrani for him? Yeah, I would. I'm buying in.
He's, of course, not a 1.75 ERA guy, but I'd expect somewhere in the 3.0-3.30 range henceforth.

A Ukranian politician is on trial after he caused a major accident while driving drunk. The corrupt political figure has denied all charges and has said that he cannot even read court documents because he is in "psychological shock."
This ridiculous excuse may have been acceptable in the corrupt Ukranian court system, but it did NOT fly with the public. A mob met the politician outside the courtroom, and they gave him EXACTLY what he deserved.
The angry crowd let him know that if you act like a piece of trash, you will be treated like one too!
Did this politician get what he deserved? Sound off in the comments below!

TV News Anchor Gets Pranked Live [VIDEO]
Let me begin by saying I'm a huge fan of the movie 'Anchorman' starring Will Ferrell. Also I have often thought that whatever shows up on a teleprompter during a newscast most anchors will read. Even if it's wrong, dirty or otherwise. Weatherman Brian Niznansky of NBC26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has proven that point for us once again. Take the jump and watch the prank.
Brian got off the hook easy, his colleagues prank him by having him read the fairly innocuous 'Anchorman line' 'I love lamp'.
Check out the video below, as a special bonus the bit from the movie 'Anchorman'.

Celebrated Punjabi Film actor and well known comedian cum political satirist Gurpreet Singh 'Ghuggi' on Wednesday joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with an aim to fight against the various problems being faced by the people of Punjab.

Aftermarket barrel reliability...is this an issue?
I have a Glock 22 (.40 S&W) and have been reading a lot on this forum, and other forums, concerning the use of aftermarket barrels such as Lone Wolf, Storm Lake, Bar-Sto, Briley, Jarvis, etc. It seems they offer better accuracy and better support at the chamber. Everyone wants better accuracy. If you reload you would want better support to keep the brass from deforming. These barrels offer tighter tolerances than the standard Glock barrels...How does this effect reliability? Can this be a issue? I have been thinking about buying an aftermarket barrel and recoil spring/guide rod assembly, but I do have concerns. Your opinions and any information would be helpful.

I attach a picture because this gun is basically ,exactly what you questioned.
This gun ,just today, ran through about 500 rounds of every immaginable ammo without so much as a hiccup.
(including plenty of handloads--both FMJ
and lead--0,as in -NO problems at all ! ) It shoots flat,hard accurate,reliable,
and kicks like a 9mm.
It has a KKM barrel W/optional compensator and non-captive metal guide rod and spring (17 lbs.)
Definitely what shooting is all about for me !
(Not a .40--but .357 sig is close enough for a good comparison )
For the safety of any Glock...the barrel should be replaced.
Long Wolf are good barrels and affordable.
Glock barrels are not heat treated and thus will fail. It is not a matter of IF but when. The net is full of Glock KB stories..Glock denies a problem but settles with injurred LEO's and tells civilian claims to go bump.
Replace the barrel and avoid the issue.

I've just come up with an idea. As I am sure most people here are aware, survival horror draws the fear one experiences playing a survival horror game partly from the fear of being alone. While I am aware that this isn't the only part of a scary experience, I believe I can make something scary by doing the exact opposite of this: putting you in a group of eight or more.
You see, my idea is that supplies (ammunition, weapons, first-aid, etc.) would be just as scarce as in a single-player game, forcing you to work with your team to ensure equal supplies are being handed out. Have a player who hogs the shotgun shells? Then you are going down in a pool of blood, my friend, and you'll be taking the hog with you nine times out of ten. This requires you to get to know your team so they'll have a reason to want to give you a helping hand, other than looming death. If you really want the true survival horror experience, then you'll play with people you don't know, requiring you to think fast and on your feet if you want to survive. If someone is running from the group, you'll have to go get them, if only because they're carrying a few valuable bullets, and what happens if he alerts a nearby monster? Then it will take him down and start searching for you and your buddies. Just hope it doesn't find you, because you'll only ever have a single rifle magazine at the most to everybody in the group, and what if that's not enough to take down the monster? You see, everybody will have to work together if they want to survive. Say there's a few monsters around the corner. Since your bullets are spread thin between you, you'll be wanting to sneak past them, as taking them on with a kitchen knife is flat-out suicide. But as you are passing them, someone kicks a can by accident and the whole group dies.
This way, you will not want to face a monster. Even if you're working with a team of people you know well, there's still room for error, as you are, after all, just regular people with a few pistols and a knife between you. You want to survive, then you will have to work together. If you can't, you'll die and you'll take several other people with you.
Now I know what you're thinking: "Isn't this just the basic premise of Left 4 Dead?" Well yes, I can see the similarites, but Left 4 Dead doesn't require you to work as a team anywhere near as much as I intend for this. How many times have you literally had one bullet in the chamber of a pistol and the rest of the group reduced to melee weapons? That's right, that rarely happens. Besides, I won't be handing out unlimited piles of ammo any time soon, or safe rooms, or even more than one health-pack to a level. You'll have to ration equally and fairly.
Anyway, I've posted this here because I think that it would work, so people can comment on that, and if somebody likes my idea than they're more than able to create a mod for Source or whatever, so long as I get a bit of credit. I don't know anything about mods, coding or such, so, you know. I am, however, more than willing to help with development on the story side of things, if it does get off the ground.
