Even before Australia?s recent surprising finish at the FIBA World Under-19 Championship earlier this week, Melbourne-born Dante Exum was poised for NBA stardom.
Exum put on a show at this year?s tournament, held in Prague, averaging over 18 points per game and earning a spot in the All-Tournament team alongside probable 2014 NBA lottery picks Jahlil Okafor, Aaron Gordon, Dario Saric (Croatia) and Vasilje Milic (Serbia).
Undecided as to whether he?ll declare for the draft?next year or attend college and declare in 2015 in what will likely just be a one-year stopover before moving to the NBA, Exum led Australia?s young Emus further than expected and all the way to bronze medal game, eventually losing to Lithuania 106-100 in overtime.
Exum is the son of former NBL import Cecil Exum, a former teammate of Michael Jordan and James Worthy during North Carolina?s 1982 NCAA championship season, and grew up in Melbourne after his father became a naturalised citizen after a seven-year pro career in Australia.
The 17-year-old, 198cm point guard is being touted as high as the third best prospect from the 2014 class and has suitors from America?s most storied colleges, including the likes of NCAA champion Louisville, Indiana, Louisiana State, Michigan and Kentucky.
The basketball world appears ready to hitch itself to Exum. ESPN expert Fran Fraschilla tweeted the following during Exum?s 33-point performance against Spain- ?Every now & then over thirty years you watch someone special. Today it's Dante Exum. 22 points as Aussies surprising Spain right now, 66-48.?
As the likes of Andrew Bogut, Patty Mills and Aron Baynes?each make noise as Australians in the NBA, Exum looks set to join the Boomers trio among the world's best players, maybe even exceeding their accomplishments in a few short years.?

LONDON (AP) ? European markets recovered their poise Monday, despite an earlier sell-off in Asia, as investors shrugged off fears of an imminent scaling back of the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary stimulus.
Investors in Europe regained their footing after last week's stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report prompted an end-of-week sell-off. After European markets closed on Friday, U.S. stocks posted solid gains.
Given the prevailing focus on the U.S., the key day this week will likely be Wednesday, when the minutes to the last policy meeting of the Fed are published. The Fed's chairman, Ben Bernanke, is also due to deliver a speech.
"It is possible that the combination of these events will encourage speculation that tapering is almost upon us," said Jane Foley, an analyst at Rabobank International. "Alternatively there is the possibility that Bernanke will push back against speculation that the Fed is ready to take a less accommodative position."
Without a clearer gauge, markets around the world have been volatile for weeks. For the past few years, the Fed's stimulus, echoed by other central banks, has been one of the props shoring up a number of financial assets, in particular stocks.
Volatility was a key feature Monday as European markets started the week positively following Wall Street's late turn Friday and amid hopes that Greece will get its next batch of bailout funds. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 1 percent at 6,437 while Germany's DAX rose 2.2 percent to 7,676. The CAC-40 in France was 1.8 percent higher at 3,821.
The mood in Europe was perked up by the news that Greece's international creditors appear to have reached a deal with the cash-strapped country over further economic reforms required for the release of the bailout funds. A meeting later in the day of the finance ministers of the 17 European Union countries that use the euro is expected to confirm the release.
Wall Street was poised for a solid opening with Dow futures and the broader S&P 500 futures up 0.5 percent. Another key focus in markets will be the start of the U.S. second-quarter corporate reporting season after Monday's close. As usual, aluminum company Alcoa Inc.'s will be the first to report.
"The U.S. is going to remain in the spotlight in the coming weeks, as investors try to make sense of companies' second quarter earnings at a time when the Fed is looking to withdraw its support and begin tapering its asset purchases," said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari.
Earlier, most Asian markets fell amid renewed worries over the economic recovery in China.
"Credit data this week will give investors clues to how much the cash squeeze is affecting the world's second biggest economy," said Lee Mumford, a trader at Spreadex.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed down 1.3 percent at 20,582.19. Mainland Chinese shares sank, with the Shanghai Composite Index down 2.4 percent to 1958.27. The smaller Shenzhen Composite Index lost 3.6 percent to 889.53. Japan's Nikkei 225 fell 1.4 percent to 14,109.34. South Korea's Kospi dipped 0.9 percent to 1,816.85.
In other financial markets, the mood was fairly benign. Among major currencies, the euro was up 0.2 percent at $1.2856 while the dollar was flat at 101.19 yen.
In commodity markets, the price of oil was down 16 cents at $103.06 a barrel.

This year, more hiring managers are not hiring job applicants because of inappropriate content on the applicants? social media profiles. Here?s what will get your r?sum? tossed.
Posted:?July 8, 2013
Remember that wild vacation you took with your friends last year? You couldn?t wait to post the pictures on Facebook so everyone could see how cool you are and how great your trip was.
Or that time when you drunkenly tweeted from the bar, or complained about your boss on a friend?s wall?
Be honest: You?ve been in?or almost been in?situations like these before.
While your friends may have thought your trip looked awesome or your boss was terrible, do you think potential employers thought so, too?
A recent study by Harris Interactive and CareerBuilder found that 43 percent of hiring managers who research candidates via social media say they?ve found information that caused them not to hire someone. This number is up 9 percentage points from last year.
The amount of employers who research candidates via social media is also up this year. Thirty-nine percent of hiring managers say they use social media to vet applicants, compared with 37 percent last year.

Employers who took a candidate out of the running for a job after looking at his social media profiles did so for the following reasons:
While inappropriate information on your social media profiles can cost you a job, the right information can earn you one. One in five hiring managers said they found something on social media that caused them to hire a candidate. Here are a few things they liked:

LONDON (AP) ? The company behind the New York Stock Exchange will take over running and restoring confidence in the scandal-hit London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR, a UK committee has ruled.
The independent panel, set up by the UK Treasury, on Tuesday chose NYSE Euronext to take over LIBOR from the British Bankers' Association, which had supervised the rate-setting for decades. The changeover is scheduled to be completed by early 2014, the panel's chair, Baroness Sarah Hogg, said in a statement. The panel did not identify other bidders.
"This change will play a vital role in restoring the international credibility of LIBOR," she said in a statement.
LIBOR underpins trillions of dollars of transactions all over the world. It is an average rate that measures how much they expect to pay each other for loans. The rate is also used in calculating borrowing costs of hundreds of trillions of dollars in loans and investments such as bonds, auto loans and derivatives.
But the rate was underpinned on trust ? an honor system that relied on the banks to be honest. Revelations of its manipulation last summer both shocked the financial community and forced a reform in how it was administered.
The scandal emerged when authorities realized banks ? including Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and UBS ? were submitting false data to gain market advantages.
U.S. and U.K. regulators fined RBS more than $460 million for rate-rigging. Barclays' role led to a $453 million fine and the resignation of chief executive, Bob Diamond. Swiss bank UBS was fined $1.5 billion.
After the scandal erupted, the government moved to restore confidence in LIBOR's integrity, establishing the panel to review the rate and creating criminal penalties for those who violate the rules.
"We want to protect taxpayers and restore faith in financial services," financial secretary to the Treasury Greg Clark said in a statement.
"The government is committed to developing a safer and strong banking sector. We want a financial sector that serves the interests of business and helps to drive economic growth."
The rate will be administered by NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Limited, a new subsidiary of NYSE Euronext.

JERUSALEM (AP) ? A one-woman play about an American activist who was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer in Gaza is being performed for Hebrew-speaking audiences for the first time. Producers hope the show will force Israelis to confront an issue that, 10 years later, is still stirring passions.
Rachel Corrie was killed in 2003 as she attempted to block the bulldozer from razing homes in the southern Gaza Strip. She has become a divisive figure since her death.
For pro-Palestinian activists, Corrie became a rallying cry and vivid image of what they say is Israel's harsh repression of the Palestinians.
Corrie belonged to the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement, whose activists enter conflict zones and try to interfere with activities of Israel's military in the West Bank and Gaza, territories the Palestinians claim for their future state.
Many of the areas where they operate have been declared off-limits for civilians by the Israeli military, and most Israelis consider ISM activists like Corrie to be misguided, biased troublemakers and thrill seekers.
Israel captured the Gaza Strip, along with the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, in the 1967 Mideast war. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, two years after Corrie died.
"My Name is Rachel Corrie" was first staged in London in 2005 and has since courted controversy. A New York off-Broadway theater backed out of plans to stage the play in 2006, drawing charges of censorship from its creators. Performances in Toronto and Florida were canceled, reportedly after pressure from pro-Israel groups.
That drama has followed the play to Israel. The Hebrew version premiered briefly in March at a festival in Tel Aviv. On Sunday night, it opened at Jerusalem's Khan Theater. Both performances drew threats from politicians to cut the budgets of venues that stage the play.
Such opposition has not deterred the producers. They hope the Hebrew version will stimulate some introspection among audience members about Israel's activities in the Palestinian territories.
"(Israel) is the most natural place to hold the play. It's the most appropriate place, where the audience member gets an opportunity to ask himself how he leads his life and how the society he lives in makes decisions," said Ari Remez, the play's director. Remez said he hoped opening in Jerusalem, a city considered less open-minded than Tel Aviv, Israel's liberal cultural hub, would grant the play reach to a more diverse audience.
The play, a 90-minute monologue, was crafted from sections of diaries, letters and emails from Corrie's time in Gaza, along with childhood journals, to create a picture of a passionate and idealistic activist.
The play opened to a full house at the small theater in Jerusalem Sunday night.
Sivane Kretchner, the Israeli actress playing Corrie, flung a keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian headscarf, around her neck as she delivered Corrie's mundane musings on daily life and grand epiphanies about the injustice she saw.
As the theater lights dimmed, the crackly voice of the bulldozer driver was heard communicating the incident over a military radio to his commander ? actual material that was used as evidence in a failed lawsuit by her family against the army.
The case has continued to attract attention in Israel through a civil suit her parents filed, two years after an internal army investigation ruled the death an accident and cleared the driver and other military personnel of any wrongdoing.
Last year, the court sided with the military.
Kretchner said she was moved by the English script and wanted to be part of the Hebrew version.
"I don't see Rachel Corrie as a controversial person," said Kretchner. "She had a beautiful soul, and she was able to look at something and say, this is right and this is wrong."
Corrie, who was 23, died during a Palestinian uprising, a time of heavy fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants. The Israeli army was undertaking systematic house demolitions in the densely populated, violent area along the Egyptian border, where Palestinian militants were using houses as end points for weapons smuggling tunnels.
Since her death, Palestinians in the West Bank have named a street and a restaurant after her. An Arabic version of the play opened in 2008 and toured Israel and the West Bank.
Corrie's parents, Cindy and Craig, who have seen the play in Icelandic, French and Turkish, welcomed the Hebrew version.
"To have it shown in Hebrew in Jerusalem brings Rachel's story full circle," said Cindy Corrie from her home in Olympia, Wash. "It brings it to an audience that needs to hear Rachel's words, to hear what she had to say." Craig Corrie called it "moving."
Opponents of the performance said they didn't want public money to fund such an event.
"(Corrie) was a self-professed Israel hater, and I don't think we need to glorify her name and to make a play based on her and if we do, then it should be done with private funds," David Hadari, deputy mayor of Jerusalem, told The Associated Press. The theater is partly funded by the municipality.
Despite Hadari's appeal, the Jerusalem municipality approved the theater's funding last week. In a statement, Mayor Nir Barkat said, "The municipality of Jerusalem does not censor content shown in any artistic performance."
Those who attended the opening said it left a strong impression.
"This play shatters a myth that we didn't want to see," said Moshe Levy, an audience member who lives in a West Bank settlement outside Jerusalem. "It breaks that glass through which we hide reality, this painful reality that we need to deal with."

Obama is committed to wrapping up U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan by the end of 2014, but the United States has been talking with officials in Afghanistan about keeping a small residual force there of perhaps 8,000 troops.
U.S. officials did not deny a report that Obama has become increasingly frustrated by his dealings with Karzai. Their relationship fell to new depths after last month's U.S. move to open peace talks with the Taliban, which led Karzai to suspend talks on a security pact between the two allies.
A June 27 video conference between Obama and Karzai aimed at lowering tensions ended poorly, the New York Times reported, citing U.S. and Afghan officials with knowledge of the conversation.
Senior Afghan figures close to Karzai were skeptical that Washington would consider a complete withdrawal.
"Both sides understand how to pressure each other. But both the U.S. and Afghanistan fully understand the need for foreign troops, especially U.S. ones, to stay beyond 2014 and that it is vital for security here and in the wider region," a top palace official told Reuters on Tuesday on condition of anonymity.
"We don't think the U.S. will compromise on that, because past experience of abandoning Afghanistan was that the country descended into chaos," the official said, recalling the bitter civil war that raged after the 1989 Soviet withdrawal and subsequent toppling of the Najibullah government.
Much of Kabul was gutted in the ensuing conflict between rival warlords until the Taliban seized control of the country in 1996 and introduced their austere Islamic regime.
The Times reported that Karzai had accused the United States of trying to forge a separate peace with the Taliban and its Pakistani supporters in an arrangement that would expose Karzai's government to its enemies.
Since the video conference, a full military pullout from Afghanistan like the one from Iraq had been transformed from a "worst-case scenario" to an option "under serious consideration in Washington and Kabul", the Times reported.
U.S. officials, asked about the report, pointed reporters to a comment by Ben Rhodes, the deputy White House national security adviser, who said in January that the "zero option" of leaving no troops behind is "an option that we would consider". The comment still stands, officials said.
Asked about the Times report, one senior Obama administration official said: "All options remain on the table but a decision is far from made."
Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman General Zahir Azimi also said there had been no decisions on the pace and scale of a U.S. withdrawal, and similar scenarios had circulated in the past.
A former Karzai political adviser, Nasrullah Stanikzai, said the Afghan government must pursue its own strategic and political interests in negotiations with the United States, but tense relations between Obama and Karzai were not helping.
"But U.S. officials saying they are considering leaving no troops behind after 2014 is just propaganda to put pressure on Afghan government so Washington can get an outcome it wants in a bilateral security pact," Stanikzai said.
The negotiations on a U.S. role in Afghanistan, suspended by the mercurial Karzai in June, will cover vital basing issues and whether reduced numbers of U.S. troops may be able to continue attacks against al Qaeda and other extremist groups, including in neighboring Pakistan.
The United States also considered keeping a small force in Iraq after the broad troop withdrawal from that country, but talks with Iraqi leaders failed to yield such a deal.
"There's always been a zero option, but it was not seen as the main option," the Times quoted a senior Western official in Kabul as saying. "It is now becoming one of them, and if you listen to some people in Washington, it is maybe now being seen as a realistic path."
More than a dozen American troops were killed in Afghanistan last month.
The number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan — now around 63,000 — already is set to decline to 34,000 by February, the Times noted. The White House has said the great majority of American forces would be out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
U.S. troops have been in Afghanistan since 2001. The United States invaded Afghanistan to topple the Taliban who had harbored the al Qaeda network responsible for the September 11 attacks on the United States weeks earlier.

HONG KONG ? Hong Kong officials say the U.S. government got National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden's middle name wrong in documents it submitted seeking his arrest.
Snowden hid in Hong Kong for several weeks after revealing secret U.S. surveillance programs. Hong Kong allowed him to fly to Moscow on Sunday, saying a U.S. request for his arrest did not fully comply with its requirements.
Justice Secretary Rimsky Yuen said that discrepancies in the paperwork filed by U.S. authorities were to blame, although the U.S. Justice Department denied that Wednesday.
Yuen said Hong Kong immigration records listed Snowden's middle name as Joseph, but the U.S. government used the name James in some documents and referred to him only as Edward J. Snowden in others.
"These three names are not exactly the same, therefore we believed that there was a need to clarify," he said Tuesday.
Yuen said U.S. authorities also did not provide Snowden's passport number.
The decision to let Snowden leave Hong Kong irked the White House, which said it damaged U.S.-Chinese relations. U.S. officials implied that Beijing had a hand in letting Snowden leave Hong Kong, a former British colony that is now a semiautonomous region with its own legal system.
Hong Kong officials have pushed back, stressing that they followed the city's rule of law in processing the U.S. request.
The U.S. Justice Department rejected the notion Hong Kong had required clarification about Snowden's middle name ? or that it needed his passport number, saying the U.S. had provided to Hong Kong all that was required under the terms of their extradition treaty.
"The fugitive's photos and videos were widely reported through multiple news outlets. That Hong Kong would ask for more information about his identity demonstrates that it was simply trying to create a pretext for not acting on the provisional arrest request," a spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the department.
Yuen said the confusion over Snowden's identification and his passport were among factors that delayed an arrest. He said the government requested clarification from its counterparts in the U.S. on Friday afternoon.
"Up until the moment of Snowden's departure, the very minute, the U.S. Department of Justice did not reply to our request for further information. Therefore, in our legal system, there is no legal basis for the requested provisional arrest warrant," Yuen said. In the absence of such a warrant, the "Hong Kong government has no legal basis for restricting or prohibiting Snowden leaving Hong Kong."
Snowden flew from Hong Kong to Moscow and was expected to seek asylum in Ecuador.

RENO, Nev. (AP) ? Several pieces of memorabilia from the long-running hit TV series "Bonanza" are going up for auction in Nevada, including the branding iron used in the iconic Western's opening credits.
The family of "Bonanza" star Lorne Greene is selling a number of the deceased actor's personal items and much of his memorabilia from the show at an auction Saturday in Reno. The sale was arranged by Greene's son, Chuck, who lives at Lake Tahoe.
The actor died in 1987 at age 72. From 1959 to 1973, he played Ben Cartwright, the patriarch of the "Bonanza" family whose sprawling, 1,000-square-mile Ponderosa Ranch was set in the high Sierra between Tahoe and Virginia City.
Jeff Pilliod, who owns the auction house handling the sale, said he got excited as soon as he heard from Chuck Greene's personal assistant that the actor's son had decided he had too "much stuff."
"When you have a name to match with the auction, it adds a lot more entry to it," said Pilliod, owner and auctioneer of Anchor Auctions and Appraisals.
"And 'Bonanza' was very, very popular," he told the Reno Gazette-Journal (http://tinyurl.com/potobzt).
Chuck Greene's assistant, Sky Richarde, said they picked Pilliod as the auctioneer partly because of the local ties. Chuck Greene lives near the site of a replica ranch that operated as a tourist stop at Incline Village from 1967 to 2004.
Chuck Greene "still has a lot of his father's stuff," Richarde said. "He needed to not have so much stuff, and he wants the public to have access to these things that were his father's."
The family earlier donated some of Lorne Greene's documents to the University of Southern California for research purposes, she said.
One of the auction's highlights is the branding iron that appeared during each episode's opening credits, burning up the Old West-style map of the ranch and surrounding frontier.
Also up for sale are awards, photos of Lorne Greene at the Reno Rodeo and large personalized belt buckles, including one he received in 1962 from the owners of the Bucket of Blood Saloon in Virginia City with an inset of an 1884 Liberty silver dollar.
Lorne Greene also starred in the science fiction series "Battlestar Galactica" but is best known for his role in "Bonanza." His TV sons were played by Dan Blocker (Hoss), Pernell Roberts (Adam) and Michael Landon (Little Joe) during the first run of the popular series seen by an estimated 400 million people in 80 countries.
The show, which was filmed mostly in Los Angeles and partly around Lake Tahoe, helped put Nevada on the map worldwide, said Guy Rocha, retired Nevada state archivist and historian.
"People throughout the world saw this area depicted on TV and thought of 'Bonanza' and the Cartwright family," Rocha said. "There were generations raised on the show."
Pilliod said he has reached out to fan clubs of both "Bonanza" and "Battlestar Galactica," as well as museums he believes might have interest in displaying some items. He said he has even sought out fans in Europe and Asia, where "Bonanza" remains popular today because of the allure of the Old West there.
"We hope for a busy weekend," Pilliod said. "We have already had quite a bit of interest, so we're looking forward to it."

Often faculty who teach large classes (and some who don?t) fantasize about sitting down and working individually with students. For many of us that?s the ideal teaching scenario, but for most of us teaching realities are far removed from this ideal. You can?t tutor individual students when faced with 100 of them. Or can you?
Biologists Wood and Tanner undertook an interesting project. They decided to look at the research on tutoring to see if the characteristics of effective tutors had been identified. Then they explored whether any of the techniques used by effective tutors could be used by teachers in large courses. In their paper (reference below), ?we present specific approaches for adapting effective tutoring strategies and applying them to large biology lecture classes.? (p. 3) Using a set of effective tutor characteristics identified by Lepper and Wolverton (a reference to their research is in the article), Wood and Tanner explore how these seven characteristics can be adapted and used in large lecture courses (and what they propose isn?t applicable just in biology courses). Here are some of the suggestions offered for each tutor characteristic.
Applying characteristics of tutors in a large classroom setting
Intelligent?The best tutors know their content. They are experts in the true sense of the word, but they also know a lot about how students learn and the best ways to teach certain kinds of content. Faculty have that same kind of content expertise, but many don?t know a lot about how students learn and how they should teach, given what is known about how students learn. That knowledge can be acquired (whether you teach large or small classes), and it can be used to successfully implement the strategies about to be described.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) ? Organizers of Dakar Fashion Week have staged a show in a working-class suburb as part of a bid to democratize high fashion.
The show on Friday night attracted thousands of residents, who offered vocal, real-time assessments of the clothes on display while cheering loudly for the more famous models.
Organizer Adama Ndiaye, who launched Dakar Fashion Week 11 years ago, said she hoped the project would further her dream of making high fashion as accessible to the working-class as it is for the wealthy.
The show was part of a six-day event featuring 18 designers, seven from Senegal and others from as far away as Germany and Brazil. Shows were scheduled to be held in three different locations throughout Dakar.

Don Draper found himself surrounded by people, yet all alone and sad, in the ninth episode of the season, titled "Better Half."
It's been a long, sad season for Don Draper on "Mad Men." It seemed almost every episode featured at least one shot of the handsome ad man brooding -- and in some cases, even shedding a tear or two.
What's he got to cry about, you say? We hear you: He's a rich, very successful, good-looking guy with a gorgeous wife. As far as viewers can see, he's still got his health too. (At least, we think so. His liver hasn't started failing from all that drinking yet, right?) So why the long face, Don?
Turns out maybe we should cut the guy a little slack. Money and good looks can't buy happiness, after all. (Just a lot of other stuff that makes life a bit easier.)
Dumped
Nobody tells Don Draper what's what! Unless you're his neighbor/mistress, apparently. In the episode titled "Man With a Plan," the ad man does his own version of "50 Shades of Grey" and orders lover Sylvia to stay in her hotel room all day (although it felt more like days), even taking away her book at one point. By the end of that ordeal, she'd had an epiphany and dumped him. His response? Disbelief. Sad face. Begging. And later, more begging on the phone.
Who are you?
Daughter Sally delivered a knife to Don's -- and viewers' -- hearts this year. After the Draper residence is burgled while the adults are away and Sally was left behind to watch her little brothers, she explained to Don why she was duped into believing the thief -- a black woman -- was her grandma. "She said she knew you," Sally told her dad on the phone later. "I asked her everything I know and she had an answer for everything. Then I realized I don't know anything about you." Sad, ponderous face.
All by himself
Don's often surrounded by people, whether he's at the office, having a meal with clients or enjoying a little tryst with someone. When he hooked up with ex-wife Betty while visiting son Bobby at camp, he admitted that he'd missed her, hinting at how unhappy he is in his current marriage. "Why is sex the definition of being close to someone?" he asked. Her reply? "I don't know. But it is for me, it is for most people." Cue the sad face. And by the next morning, they were miles apart again. As Don headed into the diner for breakfast, he saw Betty sitting with her husband, Henry ... and Don shuffled off to sit alone.
Drowning
After smoking some hashish at a Hollywood party, Don started to hallucinate first the happy, then the sad. The vision of a pregnant Megan came to him first, then Dinkins, the soldier he met in the season premiere. Except now, the young man is missing an arm -- and is dead. "Dying doesn't make you whole," Dinkins told Don when asked why the deceased vet was still missing his appendage in the afterlife. "You should see what you look like." And what does the ad man look like? Depressed. And dead. Floating in a pool face-down dead. But fortunately for him, the dead part was a hallucination, but he really was drowning in the pool until Roger dove in and saved him.
Busted
When Don finally got caught cheating with Sylvia, it wasn't by who viewers -- or Don himself -- were probably expecting. It was Sally who walked in on the two lovebirds. This sent Don first into panic mode, which eventually morphed into depression. It became obvious two episodes later, when Don started out the penultimate episode of the season curled up in a fetal position on Sally's bed, and ended the hour the same way, realizing that his actions have cost him a relationship with his little girl.
What Sunday's finale holds for Don's happiness, you'll have to tune in and see at 10 p.m. on AMC.

A normal collar is fine for taking your dog on a short walk, but for serious hiking, he'll be safer and more comfortable in a full body harness. Before you run out and buy one though, try to make your own with paracord.
Instructables user mymyjames2000 shows you how easy it can be. You'll just need some paracord, plastic buckles, and a candle. He shows you how to properly tie the paracord into a harness, attach the buckles securely, and fuse the loose ends of the cord with a candle to prevent them from fraying. It doesn't look too difficult, but it does require lots of fairly complicated knot tying, so be sure to set aside some time before taking this on. Once you're finished, the harness will fit snugly around your pet's midsection and neck to distribute the tension of your leash more evenly.

Mar. 21, 2013 ? A little more than a year after the FDA approved Kalydeco (Vx-770), the first drug of its kind to treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis, University of Missouri researchers believe they have found exactly how this drug works and how to improve its effectiveness in the future. Described in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, MU researchers have redefined a key regulatory process in the defective protein responsible for cystic fibrosis that could change the way scientists approach the lethal genetic disease.
"They know the drug works, but they don't know how it works or where it works," said Tzyh-Chang Hwang, PhD, PNAS corresponding author and professor of medical pharmacology and physiology at the MU School of Medicine. "Our paper provides a theory for how Vx-770 works, and based on our understanding of how the CFTR channel works, we have identified a novel strategy for future explorations to complement and enhance the performance of the existing drug."
Cystic fibrosis is the second most common life-shortening inherited disorder occurring in childhood in the United States, after sickle cell anemia. Approximately 30,000 Americans have cystic fibrosis, and there are an estimated 1,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Cystic fibrosis patients are born with a genetic defect that causes a malfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, a chloride channel in the cell membrane that plays a critical role in maintaining water and salt balance across many body tissues, such as sweat glands, tissues that line the lungs, liver, pancreas and reproductive organs.
"The chloride channel is like a pipe that allows ions to travel through at a very fast pace," Hwang said. "In cystic fibrosis patients the channel is dysfunctional and activity is diminished. So what is the mechanism that controls the opening and closing of the channel? That is the fundamental discovery of our recent papers summarized in Physiology."
Like an automatic water faucet with a defective hand sensor, many genetic mutations found in cystic fibrosis patients cause a faulty signal, resulting in limited chloride transport across the CFTR. The result is the formation of thick mucus that builds up in the lungs, digestive tract and other parts of the body, which leads to severe respiratory and digestive problems, as well as infections and diabetes.
As summarized in Physiology and followed up with further research in the PNAS article, the accidental discovery of a mutation in CFTR, the R532 mutation, allowed MU researchers to reveal a new "non-strict coupling" relationship that occurs between the consumption of ATP, a molecule that provides energy in the body, and the opening and closing of the CFTR. They argue that the new information uncovered about this mechanism that controls the opening and closing of the CFTR and the passage of ions through it could explain how and where the new cystic fibrosis treatment Kalydeco (Vx-770) works.
"To his credit, Dr. Hwang exploited the behavior of the CFTR mutants to demonstrate that CFTR's gate is not strictly coupled to the nucleotide binding engine (NBD) that binds and splits ATP [energy] to drive conformational changes that regulate chloride flow through the CFTR protein channel," said colleague David Sheppard, PhD, an associate professor in the School of Physiology and Pharmacology at the University of Bristol in Bristol, U.K. who did not participate in the study.
In their study, MU researchers were able to observe the effects of the cystic fibrosis drug Vx-770 on the recently discovered R352 mutation. They found that Vx-770 enhances the activity of the CFTR channel by exploiting this "non-coupling" mechanism, a conclusion also supported by experimental results with the wild-type CFTR protein.
"Traditionally, researchers have defined how energy is utilized and transferred in the CFTR as a 'strict coupling' mechanism, meaning that one ATP molecule opens CFTR's gate, ions pass through and the ATP molecule is hydrolyzed and then the gate closes," Hwang said. "In this new model, we argue that the CFTR uses energy from ATP hydrolysis to carry out its function of chloride flow, but this coupling mechanism is more plastic than we thought and therefore could be subjective to manipulations by drugs such as Vx-770."
CFTR is part of a family of thousands of active transporter proteins called ABC proteins. Although CFTR may share many structural features with its ABC "cousins," as Hwang calls them, it has been unclear as to whether CFTR and its cousins may work in a similar manner.
The new idea of how the CFTR utilizes ATP to carry out its function may bear a broader implication because of the evolutionary relationship between CFTR and other ABC transporter proteins. It opens up a wide variety of therapeutic possibilities for other common diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes, Hwang said, since many other ABC proteins play critical roles in those human illnesses.
"It's taken years for scientists to solve this particular puzzle about the CFTR protein," Hwang said. "Our recent study provides evidence that these ABC transporter proteins and CFTR, a chloride channel, are two peas in a pod. Mother nature employs the same structural framework with just a little bit of modification to do two totally different things. From a basic science perspective, it's a big deal."
Using electrophysiology techniques available at MU's Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center, Hwang's lab studied the opening and closing, or "gating," of the CFTR at the single-molecule level. By measuring the electrical current that reflects directly the movement of chloride ions through one single CFTR channel as it opens and closes, Hwang's lab is able to monitor the activity of a single CFTR molecule in real time.
"Single-channel recording provides a unique opportunity to observe conformational changes in a single CFTR molecule in real time," Sheppard said. "It's exciting to think about how the new models proposed by Dr. Hwang and his colleagues explain the action of Vx-770 and other transformational drugs that target the root cause of cystic fibrosis."

Last November, my friend mentioned her book club was reading my first novel, Lakeside Reunion, and she asked if I?d like to come and talk at their November meeting. I agreed and enjoyed the conversation I had with them.
One of the book club attendees works as the business manager at my local library and asked if I?d be interested in speaking at our library. I agreed. She passed my name to the adult services librarian who schedules guest authors. The adult services librarian contacted me, and we scheduled a date for March.
While working out the details of my speaking engagement with the librarian, I learned a few things about speaking at libraries:
1. Be Prepared. During our email exchange, I asked questions about the library?s expectations for guest speakers-expected number of participants, any necessary equipment to be needed, time allotted for speaking, selling of books. By the time my speaking date arrived, I felt confident.
2. Be Yourself. I had asked if I should speak about anything in particular. She said, ?Be yourself. Readers love to learn more about the writer behind the stories.? I opened my talk with ?Everyone has a story to tell, and mine begins with a promise.? Then I shared about my writing journey and the way God?s promises allowed a small town girl?s dreams to become reality. Judging by their body language and eye contact, I assumed the guests were engaged in my talk. When I finished, several asked questions about different aspects of the story creation process and where my writing path was taking me now.
3. Be Passionate. I?m a card-carrying member of the Weepy Women?s Club. I cry over happy moments, tissue commercials and sharing my heart. During different moments of my talk, tears flooded my eyes, especially as I shared why Lakeside Reunion was the story of my heart, getting ?the call? from my agent and other exciting writing achievements. I made no apologies because that?s a part of who I am. I was able to share my faith and my love for Christian fiction without being preachy. And I saw a tear or two in the audience.
4. Be Generous. At the conclusion of my talk, I gave away two gift baskets containing coffee, tea, cocoa, mugs, chocolate and CBA novels. I donated two large print copies of my first two books-Lakeside Reunion and Lakeside Family-to the library. Also, I made a donation to our Friends of the Library fund to help purchase more books. All of these contributions cost me little, and they can be deducted as business expenses on my taxes. Your contributions to your library are remembered, especially when readers check out your autographed novels and see Local Author stickers on the spines.
5. Be Thankful. I thanked the librarian for inviting me, and I thanked the guests for coming to join me. I followed up by sending handwritten thank you notes to the library staff who helped make my first speaking engagement at the library a success.
Speaking at your local library is a great way to build community relationships and connect with your local readers.

NEW YORK (AP) ? A subway construction worker was stuck in mud for hours in an underground tunnel in New York City before being rescued.
Fire officials say the worker was pulled out shortly after 12:30 a.m., about four hours after he became stuck up to his chest in the tunnel 75 feet below ground. Authorities say he was treated for hypothermia and is in serious but stable condition at a hospital.
More than 150 firefighters responded to the site on Manhattan's Upper East Side, where the Second Avenue subway line is under construction. Three firefighters have suffered non-life threatening injuries. A Consolidated Edison vacuum truck helped remove debris.
It happened at around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
In September, a controlled blast at the subway construction site sent rocks flying into the streets.

We're here at NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, and company CEO Jen Hsun-Huang has just revealed the next step in its GPU roadmap. Called Volta, it's scheduled to arrive after Maxwell, and will advance GPU technology with a ridiculous amount of memory bandwidth. Volta GPUs will have access to up to 1TB per second of bandwidth by stacking the DRAM on top of the GPU itself, with a silica substrate between them. Then, by cutting a hole through the silicon and connecting each layer it's possible to move, according to Huang "all of the data from a full Blu-Ray disc through the chip in 1/50th of a second." We aren't exactly sure what that means for graphics, but being able to process data that quickly is bound to be a boon for gamers... whenever Volta actually arrives, of course.
