Maine voters strongly support proposals on Tuesday's ballot to borrow millions of dollars for education, transportation and water projects, according to a statewide tracking survey by Critical Insights of Portland.

That may reflect the poll's finding that Maine voters are feeling more hopeful about the economy, or at least more confident that things won't get worse in the coming year.
The poll results also show, once again, that Gov. Paul LePage remains a polarizing figure, two years after his narrow election.
LePage was cited as the top reason why 42 percent of the voters surveyed think Maine is headed in the right direction. He also was cited as the top reason why 40 percent of voters said the state is on the wrong track.
Critical Insights conducts polls of statewide opinion on politics, the economy and other issues each spring and fall. It asks questions for private clients and includes other questions of public interest for reports it releases to the media.
The firm interviewed 615 likely voters statewide by telephone Oct. 21-25. Results were weighted to reflect voters' demographics. The results have a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
The poll suggests that Maine voters will continue their long tradition of supporting bond proposals.
Support is strongest for a $51.5 million transportation bond, which would pay for improvements to roads, bridges, airports and ports. Seventy percent of those surveyed said they plan to vote "yes," while 25 percent said "no."
Respondents said they support a proposed $11.3 million bond for upgrades in the University of Maine System, the Maine Community College System and Maine Maritime Academy. Supporters of that proposal outnumber opponents 53 percent to 40 percent, according to the poll.
And 63 percent of voters said they favor a $7.9 million bond for drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities, while 31 percent said they plan to vote "no."
A fourth bond proposal on the statewide ballot seeks approval to borrow $5 million for land conservation. Critical Insights did not release the results on that question because it was one of the privately sponsored sections of the poll.
Support for bonds, especially for road and bridges, is no surprise in Maine.
"These do tend to be popular," said Amy Fried, a professor of political science at the University of Maine. "I think it's a combination of (wanting) better roads, promoting economic development and providing jobs."
Mainers continue to see the economy as their biggest concern, according to the poll. At the top of the list of economic worries is the cost of gasoline, heating oil and utilities, voters said.
On the other hand, Mainers have begun to feel more hopeful about the economy, according to the poll.
Twenty-four percent of respondents said they are concerned that someone in their household could lose a job in the coming year. That is down from 29 percent a year ago and 31 percent two years ago.
For the first time in 12 years of surveys, more voters said they are better off than they were a year ago (35 percent) than said they are the about the same (33 percent) or worse (31 percent).
And 41 percent of voters said they believe the economy will be better in the coming year, while 10 percent said they believe it will get worse -- the biggest optimism gap in 10 years.
"Those findings are very consistent with national surveys on consumer confidence," said Charles Colgan, an economic forecaster and professor at the Muskie School of Public Service in Portland.
At the national level, confidence is showing up in increased home sales, for example. "They feel comfortable enough with their incomes or job situations to commit to a new house," Colgan said.

Budget crisis exposes deepening rift in GOP
BOSTON (AP) — Lawmakers and strategists from the Republican Party's establishment are lashing out at tea partiers and congressional conservatives whose unflinching demands triggered the 16-day partial government shutdown and sent the GOP's popularity plunging to record lows.
The open criticism is a stark reversal from just three years ago when the GOP embraced new energy from the insurgent group to fuel a return to power in the House.
For a party in an extended identity crisis, the intensifying clash between those in its mainstream and those on its far-right wing muddies its strategy ahead of the 2014 elections.
In the view of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, House Republicans overreached during the budget impasse by believing "we have one-half of one-third of the power in Washington, therefore we have three-fourths of the ability to get things done."
Republicans run the House, but Democrats control the Senate and the White House.
Bush, a potential 2016 presidential candidate who was hosting an education conference in Boston, argued that congressional Republicans represent "the mirror opposite" of the successes of GOP governors.
Other party elders, whose calls for compromise were often overshadowed by the tea party in recent weeks, blamed conservative groups such as Heritage Action, the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Club for Growth. They were influential during the debate, at times promising to help defeat Republicans lawmakers who voted for a compromise with Democrats.
"The right is a multiplicity of various groups, some of which aren't even Republicans, but who think they can control the Republican Party," said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, condemning tactics he referred to as "radicalness."
Republican strategist Mike Murphy chided what he called "the stupid wing of the Republican Party."
"There's tension and there ought to be a questioning of whether we ought to listen to such bad advice," Murphy said when asked about the influence of conservative groups. "We took a huge brand hit. It's self-inflicted. ... I'm glad there are no elections tomorrow."
The government reopened Thursday after Congress voted the night before to end the shutdown and increase the nation's borrowing authority, narrowly averting what business leaders feared would be economic disaster with global implications.
Polls suggest that voters overwhelmingly disapproved of congressional Republicans' handling of the crises.
Gallup found earlier in the month that just 28 percent of Americans reported a favorable opinion of the GOP, its lowest rating since the firm began such polling about the two parties in 1992. Republicans may have fared worse than Democrats during the ordeal, but neither party escaped political damage.
"There are no winners here," President Barack Obama said Thursday.
The compromise package, brokered by a group of moderate Senate Republicans and Democrats, funds the government through Jan. 15. To head off a default, the agreement gives the government the authority to borrow what it needs through Feb. 7. Treasury officials will be able to use bookkeeping maneuvers to delay a potential default for several weeks beyond that date, as they have done in the past.
Lawmakers are now trying to find agreement on how to replace this year's automatic, across-the-board spending cuts with more orderly deficit reduction. But the showdown and subsequent criticism from establishment Republicans seemed to embolden defiant conservatives, who promised more hard-line tactics in the coming months. Some pledged to work harder than ever to defeat Republicans who stand in their way.
"Congress has failed," the Tea Party Express said in a fundraising message.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a tea party favorite, hinted at primary challenges for Republican incumbents "from sea to shining sea" just hours after Congress voted to end the shutdown.
"Friends, do not be discouraged by the shenanigans of D.C.'s permanent political class," she wrote on her Facebook page. "Be energized. We're going to shake things up in 2014."
The Club for Growth on Thursday endorsed a GOP challenger to Republican Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, who has yet to decide whether he will seek re-election next year. Tea party groups are also supporting the conservative challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky while backing like-minded candidates in North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., said she hopes her party would move toward "common-sense problem solvers" in the future.
"I don't want to go down this road again," she said in an interview with The Associated Press, noting that she disagreed with congressional conservatives' tactics during the budget fight. "What we take from this experience is that there are obviously common-sense problem solvers, and that's where the party needs to be."
Iowa Republican Gov. Terry Branstad is among those pushing for mainstream Republicans to play a more significant role in party politics.
"We don't have leadership in Washington, D.C.," Branstad said of his party, making an exception for Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, who is helping lead bipartisan budget talks and headlining a Branstad fundraiser next month. "There's a lot of governors around this country who could run this country a lot better than people in Washington."
Associated Press writer Thomas Beaumont in Des Moines, Iowa, and news survey specialist Dennis Junius in Washington contributed to this report.
Relief around world as US avoids debt default
BEIJING (AP) — The International Monetary Fund appealed Thursday to Washington for more stable management of the nation's finances as Asian stock markets rose after U.S. leaders agreed to avoid a default and end a 16-day government shutdown.
With only hours to spare until the $16.7 trillion debt limit was reached, Congress passed and sent a waiting President Barack Obama legislation late Wednesday night to allow more borrowing and reopen government agencies.
"World heaves sigh of relief as U.S. barely averts debt default," said the Times of India newspaper in a headline.
IMF managing director Christine Lagarde welcomed the deal but said the shaky American economy needs more stable long-term finances. The deal only permits the Treasury to borrow normally through Feb. 7 and fund the government through Jan. 15.
"It will be essential to reduce uncertainty surrounding the conduct of fiscal policy by raising the debt limit in a more durable manner," Lagarde said in a statement.
The Tokyo stock market, the region's heavyweight, gained as much as 1.1 percent. Markets in China, Hong Kong and South Korea also rebounded from losses.
China and Japan, which each own more than $1 trillion of Treasury securities, appealed earlier to Washington for a quick settlement. There was no indication whether either government had altered its debt holdings.
China's official Xinhua News Agency had accused Washington of jeopardizing other countries' dollar-denominated assets. It called for "building a de-Americanized world," though analysts say global financial markets have few alternatives to the dollar and U.S. government debt for trading and holding currency reserves.
Asian companies and investors had expressed confidence the United States would avoid a default. But had sold Treasurys to avoid possible losses if Washington delayed repayment. Others put off buying stocks that might be exposed to a U.S. downturn.
Obama signs bill to avert default, open government
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has signed a measure into law reopening the federal government and averting a potential default.
The White House says Obama signed the bill early Thursday, hours after the House gave final approval.
The White House budget office has already instructed federal workers to plan to return to work Thursday morning.
The measure restores funding for the government through Jan. 15 and extends the nation's borrowing authority through Feb. 7.
The partial government shutdown started Oct. 1. The U.S. was to reach its debt limit Thursday if no deal was reached.
As the deal neared final passage in the House Wednesday, Obama said it was now time for leaders in Washington to win back the trust of Americans that was lost during the debt-and-spending crisis.
Illinois Treasurer monitoring fed debt ceiling debate
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois' treasurer says he's monitoring the debt ceiling showdown in Washington and the impact it could have on the state's finances.
Members of Congress continued late Tuesday to search for deal that would allow raising the country's cap to borrow more money in order to pay its bills. The government has been partially shut down for more than two weeks as Democrats and Republicans haggle over spending.
Dan Rutherford's office says it utilizes U.S. Treasury securities as an important investment tool for the state's portfolios. The state holds $1.2 billion in U.S. Treasury bills that will mature over the next month.
Rutherford says planning ahead for a possible short-term default will allow the state to meet its payments on bonds and interest on a short-term basis.
Obama signs bill averting government default
The legislation temporarily suspends the $16.4 trillion limit on federal borrowing. Experts say that will allow the government to borrow about $450 billion to meet interest payments and other obligations.
The Senate gave the bill final approval last week and sent it to Obama, who signed it Monday shortly after returning from Minneapolis.
Democrats and Obama had warned that failure to pass the bill could set off financial panic and threaten the economic recovery.
The bill includes a provision attached by House Republicans that temporarily withholds lawmakers' pay in either chamber that fails to produce a budget plan.

Worldport: What Brown Does for Green
A look at the UPS Worldport facility and the investment in GSE that keeps the operation running.
LOUISVILLE — landing at Louisville International Airport, the UPS Worldport facility makes a distinct impression. The white walls of the miles-long facility come into a view punctuated by the unmistakable brown logo on the plane tails. The facility is monstrous, featuring 5.2 million square feet of space, including about 300 acres of ramp space — every bit of which is utilized for the formidable task at hand.
The operation
Offering a service based on timeliness that affords little room for error, the facility runs with a type of precision that generates numerous impressive statistics. It processes 416,000 packages an hour, or 1.2 million packages a day, which increases to more than 2 million packages a day during peak season.
Worldport features 155 miles of conveyor belts. Each package is only touched twice — loading and unloading — and travels through the facility in approximately 13 minutes, with camera imaging to automatically read labels and sort packages into appropriate bins for loading.
The "wings" of the facility have the ability to facilitate 70 docked aircraft and about 65 aircraft parked away from the facility. The crews turn approximately 125 flights each day, with the most flight activity taking place just after midnight.
Like many others, UPS has felt a decline in cargo volumes which has affected the bottom line. According to its 2009 annual report, the company saw a decline in revenue of about 12 percent from 2008 to 2009, due to lower volumes in U.S. domestic package, international package, and supply chain and freight segments. The report does cite improvements in volume for those segments in the fourth quarter of 2009, indicating an overall upswing and more positive outlook for 2010.
And as volumes recover, the facility will be ready.
GSE: The purchase process
Of course, preparation cannot be complete without proper support on the ramp. That support comes in the form of 4,000 pieces of non-powered GSE and 2,000 pieces of powered GSE, as well as the more than 100 employees of the GSE department.
According to Bill Jacob, vice president of airline ground support equipment at UPS, the airline owns units from nearly every manufacturer.
When it comes to the acquisition process, it involves sending requests for qualifications (RFQs) to approved vendors. To be placed on an approved vendor's list, an OEM must go through a six-month test period, which is followed by a final test that a manufacturer must pass.
UPS also has a GSE engineering team of three individuals that work with manufacturers to "build" equipment, or work with the OEMs to tailor the specs to their specific needs.
"Up to this year our purchasing was done on an expansion basis, as we were growing. The contraction hit us, and we had very small builds in 2008 and 2009; all we needed was build equipment for international," he says.
According to Jacob, the company will make investments in new GSE as the economy recovers.
Maintenance records have also played an important part in purchasing. Jacob says the UPS GSE team has kept a strict record of maintenance figures to tally the complete cost of ownership for each manufacturer type. "Reliability is the utmost with us," he says. "When you promise a package by 8:30 in the morning, and are willing to pay the customer for that package if it misses service, you have to make sure you do what you promise."
He adds, "We can trace every breakdown and every delay back to a cause type, or operation of a unit. We use that data to share with the manufacturers and say, 'Yes, we are going to buy your loaders, your GPUs, because they've shown this percentage of reliability for us; or not because we don't see the cost of ownership we expect to see.'"
With so many pieces of GSE in operation at Worldport, maintenance has played a vital role in ensuring equipment is ready. The fleet is tracked through the Automotive Information System, the same system as its delivery fleet. The work is split between mechanics — 60 mechanics for powered equipment and 18 mechanics for nonpowered GSE — and equipment is maintained onsite at the company's GSE maintenance shop.

A Bethesda woman pleaded guilty Wednesday in connection with a case in which prosecutors say she filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and attempted to conceal assets including stock worth more than $10,000, two vehicles, and a Cartier bracelet with 75 individually set diamonds she sold for $85,000.
Diana J. Stout, 56, pleaded guilty to false statement in bankruptcy and concealment of assets and faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison on each of the two counts, according to a statement released by the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland.
Stout is set to be sentenced in February.
In addition to failing to disclose the bracelet, the 797 shares of Eagle Bancorp, and the 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche SUV and 1993 Toyota Supra, a 16-count indictment also alleged that Stout failed to disclose that she transferred a property she owned in North Carolina to her daughter for $1. Stout bought the property in 2008 with her own funds and the funds of her former boyfriend, who filed a civil complaint alleging Stout misappropriated more than $1 million of his money, including for the purchase of the property, according to the indictment.
Stout's bankruptcy filing prevented her former boyfriend from proceeding with the civil case, according to the release.
The indictment also alleges Stout converted insurance checks intended for water damage repairs on a home she owned in Hagerstown to her own use, and filed forms purporting to be from creditors withdrawing claims for funds with fraudulent signatures.

A group of Providence students is asking prominent Rhode Islanders to take the standardized test known as the NECAP this weekend, as they work to demonstrate why it should not be used as a graduation requirement."We hope to lend a deeper perspective to debate about the new high stakes testing graduation requirement," says 16-year-old Classical High School student Cauldierre McKay, a member of the Providence Student Union. The group has been pushing state officials to reconsider their policy on graduation requirements that go into effect for the class of 2014.
Gist on NECAP results
Rhode Island has released test scores that show 73 percent of public school students are proficient in reading and just 57 percent are proficient in Math. The numbers were relatively flat compared to previous years, so for more analysis we turned to State Education Commissioner Deborah Gist. She spoke with Rhode Island Public Radio's Education Reporter Elisabeth Harrison.
State education officials plan to announce results from the latest round of state-wide standardized testing, unless a blizzard gets in the way. The Department of Education says Governor Lincoln Chafee and Education Commissioner Deborah Gist will release the numbers at the statehouse on Friday morning.
If the weather cooperates, we will soon know just how many high school juniors are at risk for not graduating, under a new state rule that requires a score of two or better on the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) exam.

A coalition of students, teachers, parents and community leaders will come together Wednesday to ask Governor Lincoln Chafee to end high stakes testing.
The Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education meets this week to consider a budget request for the coming fiscal year.
The Department of Education is preparing two scenarios: one for level-funding and one for a seven percent decrease.
This is one of just two meetings and two work sessions remaining before the board is dissolved in favor of a single Board of Education. The new board will oversee both elementary and secondary schools and Rhode Island's three institutions of higher education.

Muhammad, Harrow among most notable early-season absences
Story Highlights
Josh Gasser's absence was felt in Wisconsin's loss to Florida Wednesday night
The Blue Devils are thin in their frontcourt with Marshall Plumee out with an injury
If Shabazz Muhammad is ruled ineligible for the season, UCLA is in deep trouble
The start of the season finally brings us to where projections end and actual results begin. The beginning of this campaign, though, has been marred by an unusually large number of injuries and suspensions to key members of notable teams. Some teams will have to totally readjust while others just have to wait for their players to return. If form holds, the NCAA selection committee could have an interesting time on its hands in March, as a number of programs may have split profiles, with and without their players as detailed below (listed alphabetically, within their groups):
B.J. Bailey (and Gabe Knutson), Lehigh
Lehigh was co-darling of last season's NCAA tournament and a lot of people were excited to see their early-season performances at Baylor and at Pitt (in the NIT). Unfortunately, both Bailey and Knutson missed the game in Waco and Bailey's still not back, so C.J. McCollum and Co. saw a couple of opportunities for huge statement wins go tepidly by the board. An at-large is not reasonable coming from the Patriot League, but possible seeding definitely is in play at this time of the year.
Will Cherry, Montana
The Grizzlies should have their star guard back from a broken foot by conference play and the solid league favorite will need him if they want to make it back to the NCAAs. They gave it a good effort at Colorado State in their opener, but they're not the same team without him.
Amedeo Della Valle, Ohio State
A heralded recruit who is expected to provide some needed perimeter shooting, he missed the opener against Albany with a leg injury. Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. rained down threes on Albany is his stead, but having an extra shooter in the rotation will help relieve some of the scoring burden on Deshaun Thomas.
Kris Dunn and Vincent Council, Providence
The heralded freshman guard is out with a shoulder injury and has been joined on the pine by Council, leaving the Friars desperately low on major-conference talent for the time being. The only silver lining is both should be back by the start of Big East play.
Josh Gasser, Wisconsin
Gasser tore his ACL in the preseason and is gone for the year, which is a sizable blow to a Badgers team that needed him to fill the point guard void. The Badgers looked ragged offensively (and defensively, in the first half) at Florida Wednesday night in their first test against a major opponent.
Ryan Harrow, Kentucky
Maybe Archie Goodwin will be the eventual answer at the point. Or maybe former walk-on Jarrod Polson can provide more magic. But Kentucky probably needs a healthy Harrow, at least to provide some options over the course of the season and let Goodwin play his more comfortable role at the 2. Harrow is suffering from a flu-like illness and missed the game against Duke in Atlanta.
Tyler Lamb, UCLA
The Bruins' depth and lack of experience is showing without Lamb, who had preseason knee surgery and isn't back yet. Head coach Ben Howland admitted the Bruins missed Lamb after their major escape against UC Irvine Tuesday night.
Jeronne Maymon, Tennessee
The second-team all-SEC player last season has knee problems that likely will keep him out through at least the end of November, which means he'll miss the Old Spice Classic. Like last season, when they were without Jarnell Stokes for the first part of the season, the NCAA selection committee may have to evaluate two different Vols teams this season.
Kwamain Mitchell, St. Louis
Mitchell broke a bone in his left foot and is probably out until January. Things didn't go very well two seasons ago when Mitchell was suspended for the season, and they didn't go well at all Wednesday night when the Billikens were ripped at home by Santa Clara. If SLU is going to live up to preseason hype, the Billikens absolutely need a healthy Mitchell running the show in A-10 play.
Marshall Plumlee, Duke
I think this is the last Plumlee, and he's currently out with a stress fracture in his foot, leaving the Blue Devils a bit thin in their frontcourt behind older brother Mason. He should be back in December.
Brian Williams, Oklahoma State
The athletic Williams injured his wrist in a fall after a dunk in practice and is expected to miss the season. That's a blow to the Cowboys' hopes of a rebound this season behind Marcus Smart and an improved LeBryan Nash.
Chris Babb, Iowa State
The Cyclones crushed two SWAC teams in Babb's absence after he, yup, violated team rules. The premium defender will be expected to step up the scoring load this season for the revamped Clones.
Michael Dixon, Jr., Missouri
The senior guard was expected to be a very big piece of the revamped Tigers attack this season, but he's missed two exhibition games and two regular-season games for an unspecified violation of team rules. What's more, there doesn't seem to be a definite return date set. Despite the influx of talented transfers in Columbia, the Tigers need Dixon back.
Tony Freeland and Keala King, Long Beach State
The 49ers graduated a lot of talent from last season's team and need Freeland and King to join James Ennis on this overhauled roster. They're not going to get at-large consideration this season, so it's most important for the transfer duo to be ready to go for the start of league play, which will happen regardless of whether they get an NCAA hardship waiver approved. At worst, they'll be eligible for the Dec. 18 game with UCLA.
Anthony James, Northern Iowa
You guessed it: Three games. Violation of team rules. The lack of the 12.5 ppg scorer shouldn't hurt the Panthers, though, against low-level competition while he's out.
Geron Johnson, Memphis
The juco transfer guard was docked three games for impermissible benefits. If he can stay on the straight and narrow (he's, umm, had some off-court issues), he should be a welcome addition to the Tigers' backcourt this season, especially with the departure of Will Burton early to the NBA draft. He'll miss the VCU game that opens the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Carl Jones, Saint Joseph's
Jones was suspended for the Hawks' exhibition game and their first two regular-season games for what was termed a university violation. The final game of the point guard's suspension is the meeting with Notre Dame in Friday's Coaches vs. Cancer game in Brooklyn, which is a big opportunity for the Hawks to add some nonconference heft to a possible at-large resume.
Hanner Mosquera-Perea and Peter Jurkin, Indiana
In one of the lamest NCAA decisions in recent memory, Perea and Jurkin were suspended for nine games each for receiving improper benefits because their guardian bought a couple of IU stickers before they were born. Seriously. It's like a college hoops spoof of Minority Report. The completely nonsensical ruling robs the Hoosiers of some frontcourt depth for the time being.
Isaiah Philmore, Xavier
A transfer for Towson who is being docked three games (so one more, against Robert Morris) because he failed to fill out some paperwork before he enrolled at Towson. Yay, bureaucracy! Philmore should help ease the loss of Kenny Frease in the middle for the X-men, who surprised Butler on Tuesday to make an early-season statement
Durand Scott, Miami
The Hurricanes point guard has missed Miami's first two games and will sit out one more thanks to some impermissible benefits. His absence has already had an impact, as the Canes were ambushed at Florida Gulf Coast by 12. Miami has some solid frontcourt talent but needs its ringleader to orchestrate the offense.
Winston Shepard, San Diego State
The Aztecs' heralded freshman was suspended for three games by the NCAA for an unspecified rule violation. The Aztecs likely will be fine without him for games against Missouri State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff, although the game with the Bears is away.
B.J. Young, Arkansas
Probably no harm, no foul on this one as the preseason all-SEC guard missed the season opening five-point win over Sam Houston State thanks to a rules violation. If the Hogs have any hope of sneaking into the NCAA tournament, they need a fully functioning Young in the lineup.
Jordan Burgess and Mo Alie-Cox, VCU
VCU lost standout Bradford Burgess after last season, but was poised to add his younger brother to the mix until top-100 recruit Jordan (and Mo) were declared partial qualifiers and ruled ineligible for this season. With four starters back from last season, this is not a crushing blow to the Rams, but it does cut significantly into their expected depth, and with the style they run, that's never a good thing.
JerShon Cobb, Northwestern
Not a high-profile name, but a decent returning scorer for a backcourt-heavy team that still is looking for its first-ever trip to the NCAA tournament. Cobb was suspended for the season for a violation of team rules.
Myck Kabongo, Texas
Kabongo is also caught in the netherworld of an NCAA investigation without a finish line. He missed the Horns' opener, which was an incredibly sloppy 55-53 decision over a Fresno State team that staggered past UC Riverside, 39-30, Wednesday night. The Horns clearly must get Kabongo back on the floor if they have any expectation of living up to preseason billing. With him, they're a clear NCAA tournament team.
Ricky Ledo, Providence
Ledo combined with Kris Dunn to give the Friars a recruiting class that provided the program with an enormous shot in the arm. Now Dunn is injured and Ledo was ruled ineligible to play games this season. With leading returning scorer Vincent Council now also out for at least a month with a hamstring injury, the nonconference season quickly has become an expectations washout for the Friars. We'll see if they can make any headway in Big East play if the two injured players can get back on the floor.
Todd Mayo, Marquette
Mayo was ruled academically ineligible and will miss at least the fall semester, with no guarantee that he will return to the Golden Eagles at any time this season. This was a tough blow for Marquette, which expected Mayo to pick up some of the minutes left from departed star guard Darius Johnson-Odom.
Shabazz Muhammad, UCLA
This is obviously the big one in terms of hype and possible impact on the national scene. Muhammad's story keeps getting more sordid, as the Los Angeles Times late Wednesday night reported that the NCAA may have pre-judged Muhammad's eligibility. That's a really bad look for the NCAA, if true, regardless of the merit to their eligibility claims about Muhammad. As far as the on-court implications, the Bruins really, really need Muhammad's athleticism and scoring. They are a slow, limited team at present, one that needed two missed free throws in the final seconds of regulation to escape UC Irvine in overtime. If he's ruled ineligible for the season, you can forget about any aspirations the Bruins had of a deep March run. It's not happening.
Dai-Jon Parker, Vanderbilt
When you're rebuilding after the departure of numerous stars, you can't afford to lose a heralded young returning player, but that's what happened to the Dores when they suspended Parker indefinitely for a non-academic team rules violation. When (if?) Parker gets back on the court, he should get heavy minutes, although the Dores got some nice contributions from others in his stead in their opener.

These chairs are better than pictured. Sturdy and comfortable, especially for a metal chair. The staff at Overstock.com were a pleasure to do business with. The best retail experience I've had in a long time. Thanks!
I have 12 of these awesome chairs. I started with one set to make sure I liked them, then quickly ordered 2 more. They're really very comfortable chairs. They're wide enough to accommodate a larger adult, and the arm rests are very comfortable. I am a little afraid that they are going to show scratches quickly, but so far (about a month) it hasn't been an issue. What they do show are FINGERPRINTS. I have little kids, so this is an issue all the time, but I have to wipe the chairs down after every meal. They're also too heavy for my 6 year old to move once she's sitting down, so she has to kind of crawl in through the arms, which she loves, but could be slightly inconvenient. I really like they stack, so I can keep 4 in the closet for when I have a dinner party. Everyone notices and compliments these chairs when they come over, and I'm really glad I bought them. I can get 6 seated in these chairs around a 60" table. And 14 around my fully extended 140" dining table.
You may want to use these outside. If so, just use spray on clear lacquer. We use them outside and could not be more happy. Four chairs for less than the price of one of the French type. Sorry, France, but you get my money when I buy your wine!
I bought these chairs to use inside/outside. They came in perfect shape and are sturdy and comfortable. Some have bee left in the rain and no damage or anything. I love them and can't wait to purchase the kids version to complete my set!
I ordered the black tabouret chairs. These chairs are heavy, sturdy and well made. They are a good value. They look great. My only caution: be sure to check the item dimensions before ordering. When I first unpacked the chairs, I was a little taken aback because they are smaller than I expected. It's my fault, since I didn't carefully check the dimensions before ordering. If I had checked the dimensions first, I probably would not have ordered the chairs. I wanted something that would make a slightly more dramatic statement (I'm using these as my dining chairs). They are stylish and modern, but the effect is dampened due to their small size. I'm keeping them since they're a great price and it would have been way too much trouble to ship them back.
The chairs are so nice that I actually ordered more! They came perfectly packaged, no scrappy boxes! We plan to use these commercially.
My kids need the chairs in thier room. Just right (and stylish). With the selection of colors we chose black. We are happy with the prompt delivery and quality of the merchandise. (at a fair price) Thanks for the good work.
I really love the style of the chairs and the quality is good but they are small unless you are "average" size. I fit okay (5'6" 145#) but my 6'6" 250# husband did not. The height of the seat is okay but the it is very narrow where the arm curves around and attaches at the seat. Also the top of the seat back hits in an uncomfortable spot. Sadly, I needed to return them because I am the small one in the family.
These chairs are really well made, with the gloss blackness , they make a statement. Put them with a painted yellow Queen Anne table and black buffet. We sold the house we had them in within a month. Great chairs for the money. Will be buying more of them. Good deal.....
Love these chairs. They were just what I was looking for. They arrived promptly, were very well packed, and the photo and description of them on the web site was spot on.

Crusaders Return to Action at Music City Classic
Related Links
Friday, March 12, 2010
The #10 Valparaiso bowling team returned to competition for the first time in nearly a month on Friday afternoon at the Music City Classic in Smyrna, Tenn., posting a 4-2 record on the day.
#2 Vanderbilt is hosting the weekend tournament, which features 17 teams ranked among the nation's top-20 in the 20-squad field. Through the first day, the Crusaders sit in 11th place with a total pin count of 5,279 pins.
"Today was a challenging day, but I was pleased with our record on the day," said Crusader head coach Stephen Anthony. "Our goal was to focus on each match and to get results today; to go 4-2 on the day against a field consisting of 17 of the top 20 was a positive day. We certainly look forward to tomorrow and the opportunity to move up in the standings. We need to be more complete as a team as we move into the baker round, but we have shown this season that we can continue to improve as the tournament progresses so I'm looking forward to day two."
Valpo's slate of foes for its traditional-format matches on Friday kicked off with #12 Kutztown, and while the Crusaders struggled in their opener, they did just enough to pull out a 793-723 victory. #16 Florida A&M was next up for Valpo, and this time the Crusaders needed their best team total of the day to register a 960-937 win, led by a 225 from Natalie Cortese (Hoffman Estates, Ill./Hoffman Estates [Central Missouri]) and a 203 by Amanda Cortese (Hoffman Estates, Ill./Hoffman Estates [Central Missouri]).
Next up was the Crusaders' highest-ranked opponent of the day, #8 New Jersey City, and the nailbiter went right down to the final frame before Valpo prevailed by an 839-833 count, paced by a 206 by Amanda Cortese. The Crusaders would fall for the first time in their fourth match of the day, dropping a 939-869 decision to #15 Alabama A&M despite games of 224 from Natalie Cortese and 206 from Krystyna Johnson (Montgomery, Ill./Oswego East [Delaware State]).
Valpo bounced back against Hampton with a solid 906-810 victory, led by its individual single-game high on the day of 231 by Johnson. Johnson would surpass 200 for the third straight game, rolling a 221 in the day's finale versus #13 Sacred Heart, but it would not be enough as the Crusaders fell to the Pioneers, 927-912. Johnson ended the day with the Crusaders' best individual average as well, posting an average of 192.7 over the six traditional games.
Valparaiso (64-41) returns to action on the second of three days of competition on Saturday, as the Crusaders take to the lanes at noon for six baker-format matches.

Location: Garberville
On 1-12-2013, approximately 9:00 a.m. Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies and California Highway Patrol Officers returned to 500 Flint Rock Road , Garberville. Deputies obtained a Humboldt County Superior Court search warrant for the residence and property after receiving new information from citizens about possible additional stolen property in the residence and on the property. When the deputies arrived they located Deanna McDonald, 33 years old and her two small children at the residence. Deputies searched McDonalds vehicle parked at the residence and found a loaded .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun. McDonald was issued a notice to appear for possession of a loaded weapon by a prohibited person and released at the scene to care for her two small children, one which was an infant.
Deputies searched the residence and located stolen jewelry that had been reported stolen in a residential burglary of a nearby residence. Deputies also located a stolen new UTV Kabota Tractor on the property along with a stolen concrete cutter, air compressor and what is believed to be numerous stolen chainsaws. Many of these items were reported stolen from local residences in the Eel River Valley, Dyerville and Highway 36 areas.
Deputies continued the search for a cache of firearms they believed was stashed somewhere on the property. This was based on the numerous empty gun cases they found during earlier searches. During the search of the 55 acre property an alert deputy located a cave in some rocks that was covered with brush. Upon further investigation the deputy discovered the cave was filled with numerous firearms. Deputies recovered 100 weapons on the property, 99 of which were in that cave. Of the weapons recovered at least 20 are confirmed as stolen. Deputies recovered a fully automatic MG 42 caliber WW II Machine gun that is belt fed with a belt full of ammunition. In the weapons cache were numerous assault weapons including SKS, Colt AR-15's, sawed off shotguns with pistol grips and Tech Nine assault weapons. Several of the assault weapons are to believed to be fully automatic. Many of the weapons were loaded.
Deputies are continuing to try to determine what is and what is not reported as stolen property. Citizens that are missing property, especially a firearm that live in the area of Flint Rock may E-mail Sheriff's Property technician Ryan Chamberlain at email@example.com.
This is an ongoing investigation. Additional charges against Ryan Floyd will be sought.
The investigation into Ryan Floyd is continuing. Deputies located approximately 42 grams of hashish at Floyd's residence, an additional four grams of suspected methamphetamine, an additional stolen trailer ( besides the stolen car), thousands of rounds of various ammunition, twenty ballistic vests, numerous tactical holsters and empty rifle cases, and a total of 6 high capacity magazines. The Sheriff's Office is continuing their investigation into this case and the California Highway Patrol is assisting with processing the numerous vehicles on the property to determine whether or not they are stolen. The total amount of dried marijuana bud seized on the property was approximately 117 pounds.
On 02-07-2013, approximately 0830 hours, Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies and Humboldt County Drug Task Force Agents conducted a probation search at the residence of Ryan Floyd 30 years old, in the 500 block of Flint Rock Road ( Off Wade Road ), Garberville. When deputies arrived at the residence they located Floyd and arrested him on the outstanding no bail felony warrant for his arrest. Deputies are still on scene conducting a probation search of the residence. So far deputies have located what is estimated to be 45 pounds of dried marijuana bud, approximately $12,000.00 cash, a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun, approximately 1 oz of suspected heroin, approximately 2 grams of suspected methamphetamine, body armor, numerous loaded high capacity magazines, scales, drug paraphernalia and other indications of drug sales and what is estimated to be over forty vehicles, along with numerous all terrain vehicles. One of the vehicles is confirmed stolen. Deputies anticipate being at the residence for a lengthy period of time conducting their investigation and searching the property and vehicles.
Besides the outstanding arrest warrant, Floyd was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for sale, cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, illegal possession of a firearm magazine, illegal possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, illegal possession of a firearm and violation of probation. Other charges may be added as the investigation continues. He was transported and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he his being held without bail.
Deputies also located a second male on the property identified as Gregory Benson, 48 years old from Garberville. Benson was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for illegal possession of ammunition and a firearm by a prohibited person. His bail was set at $50,000.00.
An updated news release will be released at a later date.
On 2-2-2013, approximately 11:30 p.m. a deputy attempted to pull over a black Chevy Silverado pickup truck for driving erratically and with no rear license plate on Dyerville Loop Road, near Fort Seward Road in the Dyerville area of Humboldt County. When the deputy activated his overhead lights the vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit was initiated. A slow speed pursuit traveled east on Fort Seward road at speeds of around 30 mph. At one point the pickup traveled onto the middle fork of the Eel River on the gravel bar before looping back onto Fort Seward Road. A second deputy caught up with the original deputy and they continued pursing the vehicle on Fort Seward Road at speeds of approximately 30 mph. When the vehicle drove up to the intersection of Dyerville Loop Road and Fort Seward Road, it turned south onto Dyerville Loop road. Approximately one half mile later, the vehicle drove off the roadway and down a hillside before crashing into a tree. When deputies reached the vehicle it was unoccupied. Deputies learned the vehicle was registered to residence in the 29000 block of Alderpoint Road, Garberville. When contact was made with the registered owners of the truck they were on vacation out of the area. A relative checked their residence and learned the vehicle was just stolen from their residence and their residence had been burglarized.
The Sheriff's Office is currently asking for the publics help in locating Ryan Floyd and Honey Walsh who are persons of interest in this case.
Floyd is described as follows: A white male adult, 30 years old, 5-8, 155 pounds, strawberry blond hair. He currently has a no bail felony warrant for his arrest for being armed while possessing narcotics issued by Humboldt County Superior Court.
Honey Walsh is described as: White Female adult, 29 years old, 5-6, 130 lbs, brown hair, green eyes. She is from the Cave Junction, Oregon area. She has a misdemeanor warrant for her arrest for possession of a controlled substance out of Humboldt County Superior Court.

I agree... he looks very very nice in We're All On Drugs.. look at this pic.. 'nuff said..
Noooo!!! Those glasses drive me crazy. I really dig those shorter hair cuts on him, since they show off his face more.
I always thought that he was super hot in "We Are All on Drugs." BTW: Is that morning wood in the opening scene??

A raised shower just shouts hack...I wouldn't do it. While not ideal, if you did cut a pex line(s), you can patch them reliably.
I am finishing my basement. The toilet and sink pipes are well located, with the later about 4 feet from the wall. Normally, i would dig the concrete to connect the drain for the bath/shower to the sink return. However, the concrete floor has roughhed in pex piping for heating. The pipes are not connected to a hot water source yet. I would not want to risk striking one of them if i can help it as that would ruin my hopes ofninfloor heating. If i raise the shower and allow the drain to flow to the sink return, then that would be golden. But i fear that this would be a can of worms i dont want to get into. The property plans do not include locations of the pex. There may be piping there or not.
Thoughts would be appreciated.

My sister has a raised tub ih a cabin that I have visited.
I get into it knowing it's raised. And then when I step out, I've totally forgotten what a big step it is down. Those extra four inches seem like a long ways when you forget about them.
If you do consider raising it, at least raise the floor in front of it to step down on.
Or if you break concrete and put the drain there, PEX is pretty easy to couple up.
