Lesotho; South Africa
The Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands are highly valued in southern Africa for their rivers' excellent water quality and high water yield. These rivers provide water to large areas of xeric South Africa. The ecoregion encompasses the whole of Lesotho, excluding the westernmost lowland areas. It also includes small parts of South Africa just south and north of Lesotho.
Main rivers or other water bodies:
The ecoregion is heavily dissected by many small streams, most of which comprise the headwaters of the Senqu/Orange River, which is the largest catchment in the ecoregion. These rivers have eroded deep gorges through the overlying basalts and into the sandstones, and the resulting cliffs and valleys can be in excess of 1,000 m deep (Barnes 1998). The Senqu rises in the northeast and is joined by a number of tributaries in the highlands (the Senqunyane, Malibamatso, Sinqa, Makhaleng, Matsoku, and Khubela Rivers) before it flows southwest through the lowlands of Lesotho. Known as the Orange in South Africa, the river then flows westward through semi-arid and arid lands and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The headwaters of a number of short, eastward-flowing rivers (the Tina, Keneka, Umzimvubu, Umzimkulu, and Umkomaas) also arise in the highlands (Lesotho Government 2000).
The whole of the ecoregion lies above 1,850 m asl and slopes upwards towards the east, where the border with the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa forms the rim of the southern African plateau. The steep formations along the uplifted edges of the plateau make up the Great Escarpment, of which the Drakensberg comprises the eastern portion. Within this ecoregion, the highest part of the Drakensberg Escarpment forms a ridge at a height of over 3,000 m, with spectacular drops of between 500 and 700 m (Hughes & Hughes 1992).
The terrain of the highlands ranges from undulating hills to rugged peaks and headlands intersected by deep valleys and ravines. The highest peak in southern Africa, Thabana-Ntlenyana (3,482 m), is located in this ecoregion, and the whole of the eastern half of Lesotho lies above 2,440 m (Hughes & Hughes 1992; Barnes 1998). The mountains and peaks of the Lesotho Highlands above 2,300 m consist of basalts, extruded approximately 180 million years ago during a massive series of tectonic events. Underlying the basalts are horizontal sedimentary strata topped by soft sandstones (Barnes 1998).
The climate is temperate and strongly seasonal, with extreme temperatures of -20oC in winter and 31oC in summer recorded on the mountain peaks. The weather is also prone to sudden changes (Jacobsen 1999). The ecoregion receives summer rainfall (October to March), but precipitation is highly variable, both spatially and temporally. Mean annual rainfall averages between 1,300 and 1,900 mm per annum in the highlands, with figures of 2,000 mm recorded on the highest mountain peaks in the east. Winters are cold and extremely dry, though snow and frost are common in the eastern mountains from April to September. On most afternoons mists move westwards down from the Drakensberg Escarpment onto the highland slopes (Hughes & Hughes 1992; Barnes 1998).
Freshwater habitats:
The streams of this ecoregion tend to be steep (dropping up to 1,200 m in 60 – 70 km) and fast-flowing. Upon reaching the foothills and lowlands in the west, the rivers slow down and widen, often forming small floodplains and marshes (Hughes & Hughes 1992).
Pans (areas without external drainage, some of which seasonally dry out), marshes (often with reedbeds), tarns (shallow pools and pans that typically form on sandstones), and bogs and sponges (some of which have been re-classified as midslope and valleyhead fens) are common in the highlands (Lesotho Government 2000). They are especially prevalent in the northeast, where rainfall is highest, and decrease in both size and frequency to the south and west. Most occur in the soft sandstone of the alpine regions above 2,300 m. Bogs and sponges collectively cover thousands of hectares but most are individually small (Hughes & Hughes 1992; Barnes 1998). They are found at all altitudes, wherever there is a continuous or semi-continuous source of water. This distribution extends to extremely high altitudes, such as on the plateau along the rim of the Drakensberg Escarpment and on summits of peaks such as Thabana Ntlenyana. Pans are found in a few places in the highveld grasslands both at lower altitudes and on several of the plateaus, whereas marshes are less common due to harvest of reeds. Marshes remain at Tebeteben, Mohlaka-oa-tuka, and Koro-Koro (Lesotho Government 2000). Tarns occur in depressions in soft sandstones, such as those found in the Sehlabathebe National Park (Hughes & Hughes 1992).
The Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands contain rare examples of Afromontane and Afro-alpine rivers and other wetlands (Lesotho Government 2000). The high altitude wetlands found in this ecoregion have limited occurrences in the Eastern Cape and are found nowhere else in southern Africa (Wetlands International 2002).
Terrestrial Habitats:
The Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands ecoregion falls within the Afromontane and Afro-alpine bioregions (Stuart et al. 1990). The Lesotho Government (2000) classifies the vegetation into three types: Highveld grassland (1,400 – 1,800 m), Afromontane grassland (1,800-2,500 m), and Afroalpine grassland (above 2,500 m). Each of the various types of wetlands in the ecoregion is characterized by a different vegetation community. For example, montane sandstone pools are characterized by aquatic species such as Limosella spp., Utricularia spp., Ilysanthes confertiflora, and Aponogeton ranunculiflorus, whereas gravel-filled pools tend to support Crassula galpinii. Crassula natans, Aponogeton spathaceum, and Limosella maior are found in sandstone pools in the foothills.
Fish Fauna:
There are ten fish species in the ecoregion, not including introduced rainbow and brown trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Salmo trutta), among other introduced fish species. Other fish species include Barbus aeneus, B. kimberleyensis, B. anoplus, Labeo capensis, L. rubromaculatus, L. umbratus, Anguilla mossambica, Clarias gariepinus and Austroglanis sclateri. The rock catfish (A. sclateri) is considered to be a rare/intermediate species (Lesotho Government 2000).
Description of endemic fishes:
The only endemic, the Maloti minnow, Pseudobarbus quathlambae, is known only from six high-altitude tributaries of the Orange River. It is critically endangered due to habitat degradation and alteration, and competition with and predation by alien trout species (Stuart et al. 1990; Rall & Skelton 2001).
Other noteworthy aquatic biotic elements:
The wetland fauna of this ecoregion is depauperate in comparison to other large river catchments in southern Africa, in part as a result of a long history of disturbance and human use (Jacot-Guillarmod 1963)(Jacot-Guillarmod 1963; Du Plessis 1969 as cited in Ferreira 1999). There are no records of the historical distribution of the aquatic fauna of Lesotho, thus it is impossible to accurately estimate changes in biodiversity or abundance, although it is certain that there has been a reduction in abundance and extirpations may have occurred (Jacobsen 1999). Furthermore, very few studies have investigated population size, distribution, life history, or habitat requirements of the wetland fauna, particularly the invertebrates. What is known about the invertebrates, however, indicates that in contrast to the vertebrates, they may be very rich in species and include montane palaeogenic representatives. For example, there are 23 species of odonates in the ecoregion, including the endemic Chloroestes draconicus (Samways, personal communication). Little has been published about the levels of endemism of wetland plant species but the aquatic species Aponogeton ranunculiflorus is endemic to the ecoregion (Jacobsen 1999).
There are only a few large wetlands in the Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands that can support a diversity of wetland birds, with the result that there are only twelve water-dependent bird species. Two riverine mammals (the marsh mongoose, Atilax paludinosus, and the Cape clawless otter, Aonyx capensis (Ferreira 1999) live in the rivers of this ecoregion.
The Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands ecoregion is rich in amphibians at all altitudes. Jacobsen (1999) postulates that the high rainfall and diversity of aquatic habitats contribute to the high species count. Twenty-one aquatic-dependent frogs are known from this ecoregion, of which three are endemic and several are near-endemic. These restricted-range species include Rana vertebralis, R. dracomontana, Strongylopus hymenopus, Arthroleptella hewitti, and Heleophryne natalensis (Stuart et al. 1990; Jacobsen 1999). According to the Lesotho Government (2000), the aquatic or umbraculate river frog, Rana vertebralis, and the Lesotho or Drakensberg river frog, Rana dracomontana, are imperiled. Four species of snake are often found in wetland habitats in the Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands, but the only true wetland species is the common brown water snake, Lycodonomorphus rufulus.
Justification for delineation:
The delineation of this ecoregion follows the boundaries of the Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands and comprises the middle sub-region of the Montane-escarpment aquatic region (Skelton 1993). The Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands are a residual portion of the peripheral uplands of the Great Escarpment that has progressively been eroded and dissected northward and westward by the rivers on the southern and eastern southern African coasts (Truswell 1977; Corbett 1979 in Skelton 1986) (Trusw. Relict fauna and flora of Afromontane species are present in the highlands and a comprehensive treatment of the fish biogeography of the region is presented by Skelton (1994)(Skelton 1994).
Level of taxonomic exploration:
Little is known about the historical distribution, habitat requirements, biology, or life history of most of the wetland taxa, particularly the invertebrates, in the Drakensberg-Maloti Highlands. It seems likely however, from the results of the few taxa that have been studied, that further investigation may reveal a diverse fauna that could include endemic or relict species. As many of the taxa in Lesotho are seriously threatened, it is essential that research, monitoring, and conservation are made a priority before ecosystems are permanently degraded and destroyed.

Review by
Brian Lindsey
10 = Highest Rating
In the DVD's audio commentary (see below) director William Lustig calls
action/horror thriller
Maniac Cop
a "tight little B-movie".
While Lustig isn't exactly in a position to offer an unbiased assessment, the description couldn't be more apt.
In New York City a tall, silent man in a police uniform launches a reign of terror, slaughtering innocent people seemingly at random. NYPD bigwigs Commissioner Pike (
's Richard Roundtree) and Captain Ripley (William Smith of
Fast Company
) are convinced that the murderer is impersonating a cop to disparage the force. The lead detective on the case, Lt. McCrae (
Night of the Creeps
' Tom Atkins), isn't so sure
he has a hunch that the killer could indeed be a police officer gone psycho. Either way, the higher-ups want the perp caught or killed ASAP. With the body count rising, citizens begin to fear the police... Who's going to call a cop when the flatfoot responding may cut your throat rather than serve and protect?
With pressure mounting to solve the case, Pike and Ripley finally start listening to McCrae's theories. A convenient suspect is found in a young patrolman, Officer Jack Forrest (
Bubba Ho-Tep
's Bruce Campbell), when his wife's mutilated body turns up in a cheap motel room
a room that he paid for. If he'd mangle his old lady like that, why couldn't he be the "Maniac Cop" as well? Of course Jack
the killer (he's Bruce Campbell, for pete's sake!); the motel room was for a rendezvous with Theresa Malloy (plucky Laurene Landon), a fellow police officer he'd rather not see dragged into the inquiry. After Jack is arrested and thrown in jail, Lt. McCrae begins to realize that he's telling the truth. Jack's mistress, a respected cop, backs up his story. Obviously, someone with knowledge of their adulterous affair is trying to set him up.
So it's not Jack, but the killer
a cop
or rather,
a cop. He's supposedly dead, having been murdered in prison after being sent up the river for using excessive force. Officer Matt Cordell (Robert Z'Dar) was a legendary supercop in the Dirty Harry mold, who stepped on too many prominent toes at city hall. His death in prison at the hands of shiv-wielding inmates conveniently got him out of the headlines, permanently. But Cordell isn't dead... He's undead. (Or something to that effect.) Filled with blind rage, the hulking lunatic has once again donned police blue to clean up the streets with extreme prejudice. And to him,
is guilty.
Lean and fast-paced,
Maniac Cop
doesn't try to be anything more than an entertaining action pic with horror elements
there isn't a pretentious bone in its cinematic body. It thankfully avoids the temptation to bite off more than it can chew. Lustig (1980's
) makes maximum use of his small budget, relying on a top-drawer cast of B-movie veterans to sell writer Larry Cohen's quirky if derivative script. (Cordell's attack on the police station, which kicks off the action-packed third act, is an obvious riff on the original
even though the villain uses brute force rather than firearms to wreak murder and mayhem.) He also does a fine job of camouflaging Los Angeles locations standing in for New York; I was surprised to learn that only four days of shooting actually took place in the Big Apple. (I never noticed the palm trees in the background of one scene until Cohen pointed them out in the commentary.) The stalking/murder scenes are well-executed and Ludwig demonstrates real flair as an action director
it can't be easy to render simple and inexpensive vehicle chases in an exciting manner (lacking multiple rolls and pipe ramp aerobatics, lots of explosions, etc.), but he pulls it off.
The films chugs along so well that you don't bother to think about the gaping plot holes, chiefly those involving the nature of our titular monster
. Just
did Cordell come back from the dead, immune to bullets and possessing superhuman strength? The script indicates that he's not actually the walking dead at all, what with the prison doctor (Erik Holland) later confessing that Cordell was still alive when he falsified the death certificate... But the Maniac Cop is
some kind of zombie. Not the slightest reference is made, not even in passing, as to what could've reanimated him. Nonetheless, the imposing, granite-jawed Z'Dar (
Samurai Cop
) made enough of an impression in the role to return for two sequels, 1990's
Maniac Cop 2
Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence
Previously released on DVD by Elite Entertainment,
Maniac Cop
returns to the medium in this new and improved edition from Synapse Films. Aside from a light sheen of grain the 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer is practically pristine, looking exceptionally good. (Details in the numerous nighttime scenes — often obscured in VHS editions and cable TV airings — are no longer lost in the gloom.) The terrific visuals are fully complemented with a choice of audio options, including newly-engineered 5.1 Surround and 6.1 DTS sound mixes; the original Dolby 2.0 stereo is also on hand for traditionalists. (Yours truly isn't equipped for DTS but I can attest to the excellence of the 5.1 track.)
The disc's main bonus feature
, the aforementioned audio commentary with director William Lustig, appears to have been ported over from the long out-of-print Elite DVD. (Because the term "laserdisc" is used by the participants, the track may have originally been intended for a laserdisc version that may or may not have been released — I have no idea if this is indeed the case.) Joining Lustig in the discussion are Cohen, Campbell and
Maniac Cop
's score composer Jay Chattaway. They examine the film from the main angles of production, with each of the participants weighing in on their respective contributions in addition to discussing various cast members, union problems, special effects, stunt work, and the like. Cohen, Lustig and Campbell make for a lively troika (Chattaway stays relatively quiet throughout); there's very little dead air here. This commentary track may be 10 years old but if you're interested enough to buy or rent the DVD then it's well worth a listen.
Beyond the commentary the disc
offers three theatrical trailers (one of them French), two U.S. TV spots and a Spanish-language radio spot. A reel of additional footage shot for Japanese TV features a character and subplot (the city's mayor) which add nothing to the story and were thankfully not incorporated into the film's digital presentation. Finally, a 12-minute featurette sits down with actor Robert Z'Dar for a recently-conducted interview. He sketches out the beginnings of his career and subsequent participation in
Maniac Cop
, with some interesting anecdotes about the production and fellow cast members.

The student pilot reacted to an unusual noise, released from the tow plane immediately after liftoff, and the glider collided with a cactus. This was the first flight of the day for the glider and the pilot. He preflighted the glider, and noted no anomalies. The tow started from the normal point about midway down runway 23L. About 10 feet in the air, the pilot heard a metallic flapping sound. Believing that it might be a structural problem, he released from the tow. While the pilot was looking for a place to land, the glider hit the ground and bounced. The glider then hit a cactus plant about 1,200 feet from the runway, and the pilot lost control. It hit a second cactus with the right wing. The glider spun around, and collided with terrain resulting in substantial damage. Post flight examination revealed a loose wing root gap cover fairing. A ground witness observed the fairing come loose during the takeoff ground roll. An instructor who flew this glider the previous week reported that the fairing checked good on preflight, but came loose in flight. The instructor said the glider's handling characteristics were not affected by the loose fairing and he landed uneventfully.

The self-assembly of nanocrystal-J-aggregate hybrid nanostructures (HNSs) was performed by mixing two AOT-water-hexane solutions of reverse micelles, one of which contained J-aggregates of the 3,3′-di(γ-sulfopropyl)-4,5,4′,5′-dibenzo-9-ethylcarbocyanine betaine pyridinium salt dye and the other contained AgI nanocrystals. Two new absorption bands of the dye were found at λmax = 673 nm and λmax = 695 nm during the formation of HNSs; the bands corresponded to J-aggregates of different structures adsorbed on nanocrystals. The excess iodide ions necessary for the synthesis of AgI nanocrystals was found to be the chief factor governing the self-assembly of HNSs, which suggests that the crystal lattice plays an important role for the self-assembly of HNSs. The components of the HNS affect each other symbiotically in that nanocrystals increase the photostability of J-aggregates and the adsorbed J-aggregate effectively stabilizes the size of nanocrystals. The resulting stable HNSs could be extracted from the micellar solution without further aggregation.

Are you role-playing a Sonic the Hedgehog character—even an extremely minor one—on Twitter? You better tell everyone your account isn't official, otherwise Sega is going to call you out, and turn your colleagues on you, requiring a lot of double-parenthetical out-of-character tweets. And nobody wants that.
The most insane foofaraw involving Sega's official Twitter and ordinary fans boiled up this afternoon when a guy pretending to be Jet the Hawk—that's right, the character who debuted in the 2006 hoverboard-racing spinoff Sonic Riders—endorsed a strange concept for the forthcoming Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. To wit:
"I would like to suggest Jet riding a bathtub of spaghetti and meat balls accompanied by a mozzarella stick would give players that extra edge they're craving from your games." (illustrated above)
The guy role-playing Jet on Twitter tweeted that to Sega's official account. Rather than laugh it off, it's time to play the Feud!
— SEGA (@SEGA) August 23, 2012
@jet_the_hawk can you update your twitter and tumblr page to list you as UNOFFICIAL? Thank you :)
Jet's reply. Double parentheticals mean the writer is responding out-of-character.
— Jet the Hawk (@Jet_the_Hawk) August 23, 2012
@sega ((With all due respect, is that really necessary?))
Sega digs in:
— SEGA (@SEGA) August 23, 2012
@jet_the_hawk yes, it is.Thankyou in advance.
And then it's on. Zector the Zone Cop, a character even more insignificant than Jet, pings Sega.
HEY— Zector The Zone Cop (@ZectorCop) August 23, 2012
@sega AM I COOL AS ZECTOR? OR DO I HAVE TO CHANGE TO?
Perhaps realizing the position to which they've staked themselves, Sega replies thusly, to a presumably adult person pretending to be a Sonic the Hedgehog character that has existed only within an Archie Comic book.
— SEGA (@SEGA) August 23, 2012
@zectorcop if you are representing a character, then yes, any account needs to be listed as unofficial. Sorry!
Other fans and cosplayers notice the slapfight, and chime in.
Seriously though, that was a douche move by Sega.— Knux (@BasedNaga) August 23, 2012
— Liam Amadeus Scott (@Vahkiti) August 23, 2012
@qsksw Look at what @sega is trying to do to @jet_the_hawk. Even if it IS just trolling, they took it a bit too far. O_o
Now Tails is upset and wants the bickering to stop.
(Jeeez, we all know he's not the "real" Jet, he's just a dude out here to have fun like the rest of us. Is that such a crime?)— Miles Prower (@twinTornadoes) August 23, 2012
Meantime, Jet is doing battle with the The Blue Blur himself—though this guy is careful to flag his Twitter account with the (RP) tag that Sega asked for. He accuses Jet of listing his Twitter with the blue checkmark that signifies an official account.
— Sonic The Hedgehog (@SpeedyBlur) August 23, 2012
@jet_the_hawk (not sure what happened and why your all calling @sega a doche just cuz they asked you to remove the official checkmark, why?)
Jet replies:
— Jet the Hawk (@Jet_the_Hawk) August 23, 2012
@speedyblur ((I never said I was official, not once. Nice job missing the entire situation and being an ass.))
Sonic then backs off:
— Sonic The Hedgehog (@SpeedyBlur) August 23, 2012
@jet_the_hawk ((uh-no i checked but im on mobile so i cant tell if its an official account or not but someone i trust told me))
Jet extracts an apology from Sonic:
((really that is prolly the only time youll see me apoligize))— Sonic The Hedgehog (@SpeedyBlur) August 23, 2012
Sega tries to extricate itself with this:
— SEGA (@SEGA) August 23, 2012
@jet_the_hawk Sorry for any confusion, no issue with the RP side of things, just need either an RP or Unofficial tag. We love and support RP
But the coda to this needless psychodrama is supplied by @HipsterMordecai, who reminds everyone that Sega complains about what Nintendon't.
— Hipster Mordecai (@HipsterMordecai) August 23, 2012
@sega At least Nintendo doesn't complain about RP accounts.

Gardenswartz Family Fund started with $1 million gift
Shirley Gardenswartz, wife of Harold Gardenswartz of blessed memory, made a significant gift to the Jewish Community Foundation of New Mexico in July 2013. Her $1 million donation created the Gardenswartz Family Fund and helped kick off the Jewish Legacy Society of NM.
Harold and Shirley Gardenswartz came to Albuquerque in 1939 from Denver. Harold opened H. Cook Sporting Goods, which he sold in 1969 to Zale Corporation. In addition to Harold's involvement in the business community, both Harold and Shirley were active members of the Jewish community and Congregation B'nai Israel. Harold served as president of the Jewish Federation, and Shirley was an active member of Hadassah. In the early 1970s, they helped purchase land for a future Jewish community campus, which now includes the Ronald Gardenswartz Jewish Community Center (JCC) and David and Martha Cooper Family Enrichment Center, the David Specter Shalom House and the Jewish Academy of Arts & Sciences. In the late 1990s, Harold and his brother Sam generously donated start-up funds for the JCC.
The Gardenswartz Family Fund began making annual distributions to qualified charities in August 2014.

BBQ seems to be quite popular among homebrewers. This begs the question: who's smokin' this weekend?
I'm doing a butt and a brisket for a party on the 4th. Firing up the rig Saturday night about 9 PM, I'll smoke for 3-4 hours then fix an electric element in the firebox to maintain the temp through the night.
So, whatcha got? Before/after pics encouraged!
Got some ribs and boston butt on the smoker right now...
with some dry rub...
Yesterday was ribs and corn on the cob. Today is burgers, chicken wings & watermelon. Later I will be taking my kids to see fireworks.
Last year on the 4th I didn't have a single beer. I might have had a few about 12:30 a.m. on the 5th though.
I've got a Jerk Pork Shoulder and two birds on the smoker right now, and I'll be grilling corn on the cob, and a jerk-marinated tofu soon (damn vegetarians!!!)
Sorry, no pics. I saw this thread too late.
update... 6 hours in... is it dinner time yet???
Lookin good strat.
Where the hell do you find a butt bound up like that?
They sell them like that at the grocery store around the corner from my house. The butt was a last minute decision...i was only cooking for a few people but I figured that if i was going to burn a bag of hickory and half a bag of charcoal that I might as well have something to freeze for later!
I didnt get any "after" pics because we gobbled it all up as soon as it was ready to eat! Turned out awesome!!!! When the ribs are almost done, drizzle them with honey, wrap them in foil, and add about a tablespoon of orange juice to the package...let them go another hour or so on the smoker....amazing!!!
Howd yours turn out? Good?
pardon me while I gloat:
I had this great serving plan with buns, white bread and a couple sauces...
The brisket never made it out of the prep area. If you weren't in the kitchen, you didn't get any. As soon as I dumped the sauce on top, people attacked it with their fingers.
When the pork was pulled it also fell prey to eager fingers. Pulled pork sammiches? Nope. The hostess grabbed the near empty tray and took it to serving table. The buns and white bread sat unopened.
No pics, by the time I cleaned up and grabbed a beer there wasn't enough of the slow cooked manna left for a photo.

Pharrell Williams stepped out Wednesday night for the launch of his New York store featuring his Billionaire Boys Club clothing line and Ice Cream sneakers. But, turns out, the in-demand producer (who recently contributed the song "Why Should I Be Sad" to Britney Spears's Blackout) is working up a Material project of a different sort – a musical collaboration with Madonna. "It was sick," Williams told PEOPLE about working with her. "I don't want to say so much. I'd rather for you to hear. It's mean though." Uh, mean? "It makes the speaker bleed," he says, clarifying. "It's heat."

Luis Domoromo was walked with the bases loaded in the top of the 13th inning. Rodney Daal added the insurance run, off of Tyler Stubblefield's groundout, and the TinCaps won 8-6 over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Friday night.
Fort Wayne is 7-1 in extra-inning games this season.
However, it was Fort Wayne's only win in the three-game rematch of last year's Midwest League Championship Series, which was won by the Timber Rattlers.
The TinCaps have gone 12 games without getting a victory from a starting pitcher – not since Max Fried got a win June 29 at Lake County.
On Friday, the TinCaps' starter, Matthew Shepherd, went five innings, giving up six hits and four runs, while striking out four.
But Fort Wayne was down 4-2 by the time he came out.
It was Wisconsin that forced extra innings, though, when Orlando Arcia scored off a Alfredo Rodriguez single.
Fort Wayne was led offensively by Dane Phillips, who was 3 for 5 with two runs and a double. Chris Burke was 2 for 5 with a home run and two RBI.
Fort Wayne improved to 7-14 in the second half, 50-40 overall. The Timber Rattlers are 9-12, 38-48.
Before the game, the TinCaps made some changes to their lineup.
Infielder Luis Tejada was placed on the disabled list with an undisclosed injury. Tejada, a Midwest League all-star, was batting .243 with 31 RBI in 79 games.
And infielder Eric Charles joined the TinCaps from Eugene. Charles, who is from Zionsville, played at Purdue.

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Mitch Daniels sent notice Friday to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that Indiana will not establish its own health care exchange.
He attached a letter from incoming Gov. Mike Pence, who reiterated his position Thursday against a state-run exchange.
Daniels said months ago he would defer the implementation decision to the next governor and legislature because his term ends in January.
I do not believe the state of Indiana should establish a state-based health insurance exchange because doing so will cost taxpayers millions of dollars and it is not clear that Hoosiers would benefit from incurring the cost of implementing this new federal health care bureaucracy, Pence said.
He added, Without knowing more details on the cost and nature of state-based exchanges, it is possible that our state could be placed in the untenable position of serving as the administrator of a new federal health care bureaucracy over which we have little control.
States originally had until Friday to declare whether they would operate a state exchange – a major portion of the federal health care act. If states decline, then federal officials will set up and run an exchange with no input from state officials.
Federal officials delayed the deadline late Thursday until Dec. 14.
But Pence had made clear his position, and Daniels communicated it Friday.
Health care exchanges are new entities being set up to create an organized and competitive market for buying health insurance.
They will offer a choice of guaranteed health plans with similar coverage for easy comparison shopping. They will largely serve individuals or small businesses buying insurance.
Indiana has taken some preparatory steps, but Daniels has not officially moved forward with a plan.
Preliminary estimates show the cost to operate an Indiana health care exchange could be between $50 million and $65 million a year. Federal aid could cut that cost.
According to an estimate from the Family and Social Services Administration, 638,000 Hoosiers are expected to enroll in the exchange.
AlsoOhio rejects health insurance exchange
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio won't set up its own health insurance exchange but is instead opting for a partnership with the federal government to run the new insurance market.
Republican Gov. John Kasich wrote in a Friday letter to the Obama administration that states lack flexibility to build and manage their own exchanges and that setting them up is too costly. He also said that regardless of who runs an exchange, the end product is the same.
Kasich's administration has indicated for months that Ohio was leaning in this direction. State officials have noted their continued misgivings about the federal health care law, including what they say is a lack of information.
Kasich says Ohio will continue to regulate the health insurance market, oversee health plans, and make decisions around Medicaid eligibility.

The pilot had been on a cross-country trip and was stopping to attend a local festival prior to returning to his home airport. He was performing a low-level flight over his friend's house to signal that he would be landing at a nearby airport. Witnesses reported that the airplane was at 500 feet above ground level, doing banked turns in excess of 45 degrees. The airplane began to climb and then stalled, with the left wing dropping. No preimpact mechanical anomalies were identified during the postaccident examinations. The pilot was based at an airport with an elevation of 472 feet. The calculated density altitude at the accident site was 7,901 feet mean sea level. The high density altitude would have decreased the performance of the airplane and as the pilot was conducting low-altitude maneuvers, leaving little margin for error. Because the pilot primarily operated out of an airport that traditionally has low density altitude conditions, he may not have been fully aware of the performance decrease, especially while manuevering at a low altitude.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Oldtown Woman Pleads Guilty to Bank Fraud and Aggravated ID Theft
COEUR D'ALENE – Michelle Ann Mason, 27, of Oldtown, Idaho, pleaded guilty yesterday in United States District Court in Coeur d'Alene to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.
According to the plea agreement, Mason admitted that between August and June 2010, she was the leader and organizer of six or more people who stole mail in and near Oldtown, Idaho. Mason directed her co-conspirators to open bank accounts in order to obtain cash from various banks, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank, JPMorgan Chase N.A., and Spokane Teacher's Credit Union. Mason admitted that she took over the bank accounts that her co-conspirators opened, deposited counterfeit, altered, and/or forged checks that were stolen from the mail, into the compromised accounts, and then withdrew cash from the accounts using the ATMs. According to the plea agreement, Mason used the compromised bank account checks and ATM cards to purchase merchandise and pay bills. Mason's victims included banks, merchants, and the victims of the mail theft. Mason agreed to pay the victims $37,790.39 in restitution.
Mason also pleaded guilty to count eight of the indictment charging her with aggravated identity theft. According to the plea agreement, on March 20, 2011, Mason used the identity and signature of another individual, without lawful authority, when she deposited a $6,600 counterfeit check drawn against this individual's account and deposited the money into another person's checking account.
The charge of conspiracy to commit bank fraud, as charged in count one of the indictment, is punishable by up to 30 years imprisonment, a maximum fine of $1 million, and a term of supervised release of not more than five years. The charge of aggravated identity theft is punishable by a term of imprisonment of two years to be served consecutive to any other sentence imposed, a term of supervised release of not more than one year, and a maximum fine of $250,000.
Mason is scheduled to be sentenced on June 18, 2012, before U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge at the federal courthouse in Coeur d'Alene.
Co-defendant Charles Earl Baker is set for trial on March 27.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Pend Oreille County Sheriff's Office in Washington, Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, Bonner County Sheriff's Office, and U.S. Secret Service.
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a collaborative effort by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and communities to prevent and deter gun violence.

text: On July 6, 2010, about 1830 eastern daylight time, a Beech F33A, N350NW, was substantially damaged during a forced landing to a lake following a loss of engine power while in the traffic pattern at Lake Norman Airpark (14A), Mooresville, North Carolina. The certificated private pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight, which originated from Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), Greensboro, North Carolina, about 1800. The flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. During a telephone interview, the pilot stated that the airplane was being brokered for sale, and had not flown for an extended period. He elected to fly the airplane to his home located near 14A in order to "exercise" it. During the prefight inspection, the pilot noted that all of the fuel tanks contained fuel, and that he "sumped" the main fuel tanks several times to verify that the trace amount of water and contaminants, he observed in the first sample, were removed. The pilot attempted to start the engine but discovered the battery voltage was too low due to the airplane's extended period of inactivity. It was subsequently started with assistance from an external power supply. During the engine run-up, prior to takeoff, the pilot reported that there were indications of "fouled [spark] plugs which did clean up after [the] leaning procedures." He did not note any other abnormalities with the airplane before takeoff.After departing from GSO, the pilot climbed the airplane to the planned cruise altitude of 6,500 feet mean sea level. During the descent, the pilot reviewed the supplemental before landing checklist, and maneuvered the airplane to enter the traffic pattern. During the downwind to base turn, about 500 feet above ground level, the pilot began the final checklist for landing and activated the fuel boost pump. Immediately after the fuel pump activated, the engine began to "sputter" and lose power. The pilot quickly turned off the fuel boost pump and performed the emergency procedures checklist to restart the engine. He elected to land in Lake Norman and attempted to restart the engine several times before impacting the water.A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector examined the airplane after it was recovered from the lake. The airplane exhibited substantial damage along the right side of the fuselage and the left wing tip fuel tank. The fuselage was buckled aft of the right cabin door and the left wing fuel tip tank was dented along the aft outboard section of the tank. According to FAA records, the airplane was manufactured in 1977, and most recently registered to in 2003. It was equipped with a 350-horsepower, Lycoming TIO-540 series engine, which was installed under the provisions of a supplemental type certificate. It was a four-place, all-metal, low-wing, single-engine, monoplane with retractable tricycle landing gear. According to the pilot, the airplane had accumulated approximately 2,740 hours of total time in service as of last annual inspection, which was performed on November 17, 2009.The FAA inspector examined the engine in Clayton, Georgia on July 29, 2010. The engine crankshaft was rotated by hand at the propeller and continuity of the crankshaft and valvetrain to the accessory section of the engine was confirmed. Thumb compression was confirmed on all cylinders. The spark plugs were removed and exhibited normal wear. Examination of the magnetos revealed water in the housing, and rotation of the magneto failed to produce spark. The water was drained, but neither produced any spark. The turbo charger moved freely with no blockage or oil contamination noted. The inspector attempted to initiate a test run of the engine, but was unsuccessful. The pilot held a private pilot certificate with ratings for airplane single-engine land, multiengine land, and instrument airplane. His most recent FAA second class medical certificate was issued on May 26, 2009. The pilot reported 3,757 total hours of flight experience, of which, 25 hours were in the accident airplane make and model. The 1952 recorded weather at Statesville Regional Airport, located about 9 miles north of the accident location, included calm winds, scattered clouds at 9,000 feet, 10 miles visibility, temperature 31 degrees C, dewpoint 14 degrees C, and an altimeter setting of 30.10 inches of mercury.

Even though it can't be found on Google maps, West Boynton and the coalition that represents it have grown into major players in Palm Beach County.
It started in 1981, when a few loosely organized homeowners began representing an area of south Palm Beach County that had no name or identity.

MV RegClean 5.9
MV RegClean can help you in that matter, as it verifies Windows Registry for invalid entries and provides you with the information needed to decide whether to delete certain entries or not.
Start the scan, view results and details
The application is simplistic and does not frighten the inexperienced computer user, providing just a few buttons and a limited amount of options.
In order to start the cleaning process, the program first performs a system scan and provides you with information on the number of keys or values checked and the problems found. You can browse through the entries identified as problems and get more data on them: learn if the file or folder could not be found, if the key is not needed, get the location of the registry key, the value type and name.
Impressive backup and restore capabilities
You can choose to open the Registry Editor in the currently selected key and manually modify, delete or rename it. Alternatively, you can select the entries you are interested in and remove them using MV RegClean.
Another important function which comes in handy is that, by default, this utility creates a restore point before performing any changes to the registries. This proves useful when removing certain registry keys, which results in the malfunction of an application.
If this happens, you can easily restore the entries to any of the recorded previous states. You must know that the application does not automatically overwrite the last backup. It keeps them all, yet you can always remove them manually.
A few more options to tweak
As stated before, MV RegClean provides users with minimum options, thus increasing general usability of the product. What you can do is change the tool's skin, add items to be skipped at a search or disable the creation of a backup before removing invalid items.
To sum up, MV RegClean is an efficient piece of software which can be used with great ease by all types of people to clean their registry. The system's performance is not going to be hampered and our tests did not return any errors or hangs. If you are interested in bypassing the installation process, you should know that a portable edition is available for download, called Portable MV RegClean.

Rihanna Finishing Up Sixth Album, According to Producer
Currently on tour and recently announcing her latest single, not to mention appearing on covers for Glamour and the upcoming Vogue Italia as "Woman of the Year," Rihanna has been practically everywhere, but her presence isn't going to disappear any time soon. As we wrote last month, the red-haired singer was in the studio to record her sixth album, supposedly an updated and extended version of Loud tentatively titled Louder.
Although the singer herself hasn't given much of an update on the state of recording, one of her producers did. Verse Simmonds, the second half of production duo the Juggernauts who previously worked with Rihanna on single "Man Down," told MTV's Mixtape Daily on Friday: "From what I understand, she is closing the album up now, and we did two records for her that she really, really loved and I'm really excited about them as well. They are records that we wrote and produced as the Jugganauts."
While neither Simmonds nor his partner Sham "Sak Pase" Joseph revealed their contributing tracks, he is almost fully certain that their material will make it onto the album. But the producer, who is also behind a track from Jay-Z and Kanye West's collaborative album Watch the Throne, gave a vague hint as to the sound of Rihanna's new release, noting that their work will be different from "Man Down": "[W]e always try to constantly — as producers, as artists — we try to always come with something different, a whole new sound."
Although the singer has remained moderately mum about the state of her upcoming album, she recently finished up the North American leg of her LOUD tour and, by the fall, will be doing 28 dates in the U.K. Although opener Cee Lo Green quit earlier and J. Cole had to step up on the LOUD U.S. dates, DJ Calvin Harris will accompany the pop star in the U.K. Harris previously opened for Rihanna on the Australian portion of her tour and earlier accompanied Katy Perry in the U.K. About Harris as her opener, Rihanna mentioned: "Calvin is the perfect fit for the Loud tour. He is going to bring something unique and fun for the fans."

What happened in Las Vegas this week likely will not stay in Las Vegas, as nearly 1,500 avionics manufacturers, distributors, repair stations and other general aviation professionals depart the 56th annual Aircraft Electronics Association International Convention & Trade Show armed with new product knowledge, networking and training experiences that took place at the MGM Grand Hotel & Convention Center, March 25-28.
"Despite continuing economic and regulatory challenges, this week in Vegas AEA members shared 'what's working' within their own environment and pledged to take back home with them the knowledge gained to help grow their businesses," said Paula Derks, AEA president. "Certainly, the new products introduced to the market will help our industry identify new opportunities to grow and better serve customers. This was evident throughout the four days in our training sessions, the Exhibit Hall and our interaction with the regulators."
The four-day event, which is the largest gathering of avionics manufacturers, distributors and government-certified repair stations in the world, featured:
The AEA Convention is the preeminent venue dedicated solely to the general aviation avionics industry. Not open to the public, this event's primary focus is providing avionics professionals with educational and marketing opportunities between equipment manufacturers, distributors and government-certified repair stations. The general aviation avionics community knows the AEA Convention is a must-attend gathering for growing their businesses, training their technicians and meeting with their dealer network.
Next year, the AEA International Convention & Trade Show moves to Nashville, TN, March 12-15, 2014.

text: The San Francisco Giants and Angel Pagan received the worst news possible regarding his hamstring injury. Pagan is expected to miss up to 12 weeks after learning that his hamstring tendon behind his left knee will require surgery. That means Pagan will miss almost the entire remainder of the regular season and could be lost for the year if any complications pop up. Twelve weeks from Tuesday is Sept. 17, when the Giants have 12 games remaining. There seems to be some optimism by the Giants that Pagan could be back sooner than the reported 12 weeks, but the bottom line is that the Giants will be without Pagan for a long time. Fantasy owners that have Pagan on their bench know what to do.

This product was so ridiculously terrible it caused me to laugh out loud. It's a $30 sheet of fabric. No one in their right mind would actually use this. I'm not sure how this could even be classified as a 'black out curtain' when light clearly passes though.
I definitely got what I paid for. The color was spot on, they have insulation sewn in that makes them lined and blackout, but the actual material on curtain looks cheap, the sewing detail is snagged and the curtains do not hang smoothly. I will have to add weights to the bottoms. The title says "grommets" but the description and picture does not show them. They do not have grommets, they hang pocket rod style. So the title is misleading. They curtains arrived when suggested and in good condition. If it wasnt for the liner and the price i would have sent them back. I will be using them for the winter months and putting up summer curtains come May.
The description for this product was not accurate. It said it was a black out curtain with grommets when it in fact did not black out light or have grommets.
These curtains looked different in the picture. They have a sheen that I didn't notice when I ordered. I didn't like them very much
These were much better in person. Color was true and they looked more expensive than they were. Got many complements. They do block sunlight very well. I put them on an east facing sliding door.
If you are looking for true blackout curtains these are not for you. very good texture and color.
I ordered the brown and the color was just as expected. These may not be everyone's taste as they have a slightly crinkled look, but they work for my use, and I like the drape of the fabric.
The curtains were very thin and not blackout like advertised
