loosen em all,,n start over!!!
[quote=kellyk7]I have a CR80 that we just bought and the front wheel seems to be egg shapped, out of round but straight, and not dented and the spokes are in good shape all seem to be tight, to my untrained eye I am wondering if the previous owner may have adjusted the spokes wrong, is there a way to re set this wheel and see if it may be the spokes pulling it out of round, If I have to change the rim what is the method to insure the hub is properly centered in the rim and this does not happen again[/quot
that's the first step,,,the rim should be centered between the flanges,,,and ya have to end up with all the spokes doing the same amount of work,,ie the same torque spec
egged rims often occur when some spoke s are waayyyy tighter than the others,,,ya hit the wheel just right and BOING!!!ya have what ya got
ya can always send em to us or another person who specializes in these repairs,,we always give ya an analysis and several options to improve what ya have,,,1-2 day turn around,,usually!!!

Study Yields Mixed Results on Potential for Pine Trees to Store Extra Carbon Dioxide
MONTREAL — Southern pines appear to grow and conserve water somewhat better in the carbon-dioxide-enriched atmosphere expected by mid-century, a Duke University study has found. However, any growth spurts appear to diminish over time, due at least in part to the kind of hot and dry weather that likely may become more common in the future. Thus, the researchers concluded, enhanced growth of pines may not constitute a long-term sink for human-produced carbon dioxide which might ameliorate global warming.
These findings of a growth ring and wood chemistry study will be described by Duke graduate student Ashley Ballantyne at 9 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2005, during the Ecological Society of America's 2005 national meeting in Montreal.
Ballantyne, a fourth-year doctoral student in paleoclimatology at Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, did his study with research associate Jeffrey Pippen at the Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment (FACE) experiment http://face.env.duke.edu/main.cfm.
At the FACE site in Duke Forest, near the university campus, stands of loblolly pines and other tree species are receiving extra CO2 through tower-borne valves under otherwise natural conditions. Results from the enriched trees are compared with those in matched controlled plots not treated with enhanced carbon dioxide.
The FACE experiment is designed to emulate the atmospheric environment that plants will be subjected to if CO2 levels continue to increase as expected due to human activities such as fossil fuel burning. Ballantyne's and Pippen's work was funded by the United States Department of Energy.
Ballantyne said he and Pippen evaluated the pine trees' response to higher-than-normal CO2 levels by measuring annual growth rings in cores extracted from treated and control trees.
Their analysis revealed that pines under elevated CO2 levels experienced 25 percent extra growth in 1999, and a lower 17 percent and 21 percent boost, respectively, during the two previous years. The 1999 level was the maximum measured to date.
Those previous years, 1997 and 1998, "coincided with one of the highest magnitude el Niño events ever recorded," Ballantyne said in an interview. "We suspect el Niño plays some role in regulating soil moisture, probably due to extreme temperatures and changes in seasonal precipitation patterns."
After those most elevated years, enhanced growth in the CO2 began dropping unevenly in a zigzag fashion. In 2000 it was 19 percent. By 2004 it was down to .01 percent. Those years of declining enhancements were marked by "an approximately 15 percent decline in soil moisture during the growth season," he said.
In fact, the uneven year-to-year growth differences seemed more closely related to soil moisture — the water available for use by the trees — than to other possible factors. Increased temperatures may cause a decline in soil moisture, thereby suppressing growth, he said.
Other possible factors in growth declines would include the tree stands' increasing ages, and the relatively low amounts of nitrogen in Duke Forest soils drained of nutrients by previous farming, he said.
The Duke researchers also studied how the gas-enriched trees processed carbon dioxide and water by analyzing cellulose in extracted tree wood samples.
During photosynthesis, carbon is drawn from the atmosphere as carbon dioxide to be incorporated into tree tissue, Ballantyne said. At the same time, water is drawn in from the soil through the roots, and some of that water eventually escapes into the atmosphere. Analyzing the chemistry of cellulose "can tell us the relative amounts of carbon gain versus water loss," he added.
The Duke investigators found that under higher-than-normal carbon dioxide levels "more carbon is being drawn in and less water is being emitted into the atmosphere," Ballantyne said. "In future climates, this might be a way for loblolly pines to deal better with water stress or drought."
Most scientists agree that the growing carbon dioxide levels are trapping enough heat to induce global warming. And loblollies and other fast-growing trees have been suggested as possible "sinks" to lock some of the excess carbon dioxide in long-term storage.
Overall, the Duke researchers' findings suggest extra carbon dioxide might enhance loblolly water-use efficiency. But the results may provide less reassurance for proponents of loblolly sink, Ballantyne acknowledged.
"A world with double CO2 is undoubtedly going to be warmer," he said. "However predictions for precipitation changes are not as clear, with some climate models predicting dryer conditions and others wetter.
"If we do see dryer conditions, we might expect less carbon to be stored."

New Year's Resolution for Retirement Planning
For most of us, retirement will not include a pension and social security will not be able to provide enough income. So, the quality of your retirement is up to you. Much like dieting, it requires a realistic plan, a commitment to success, and consistent execution.
The first and best option for most people is to maximize participation in your employer's retirement plan, if possible. If the plan has an employer match, you have a guaranteed return before you invest. You can save up to $17,500 in these plans in 2013 and up to $23,000 if you are over 50. Contributions to these plans are pre-tax and grow tax-deferred.
Traditional IRAs allow you to get a tax deduction and are a great option for many people. Contribution limits are up to 100% of earned income or $5,500, whichever is less. If you are over 50, the limit is $6,500.
*Non-deposit investment products and services are offered through CUSO Financial Services, L.P. ("CFS"), a registered broker-dealer (Member FINRA/SIPC) and SEC Registered Investment Advisor. Products offered through CFS: are not NCUA/NCUSIF or otherwise federally insured, are not guarantees or obligations of the credit union, and may involve investment risk including possible loss of principal. Investment Representatives are registered through CFS. HawaiiUSA Federal Credit Union has contracted with CFS to make non-deposit investment products and services available to credit union members.

Tips for a Financially Healthy Family
- Commit yourself to spending within your means. A line of credit should never be confused with an emergency fund or extra income.
- Track spending, identify expenses that can be reduced or eliminated, and take immediate action.
- Communicate the family finances regularly with your immediate family members.
- You are the single greatest role model in your child's financial education. They will remember everything, from arguments about money to how you deal with debt. Teach good habits now.
- Expect and prepare for emergencies, ideally six month's worth of expenses in a liquid account.
- If housing costs are too high, consider temporarily downsizing, renting, or home-sharing with friends or family members.
- Remember - you are not being "cheap" by saving a few dollars. You are doing it for the well-being of your family over the long term, and will come out ahead by doing so.
- Pay for unreimbursed medical expenses and dependent care with pretax dollars using a flexible savings account.
- Get professional assistance and support. Contact BALANCE for free financial counseling to help you prioritize your expenses and understand debt repayment options.

Our HawaiiUSA Credit Protection Plan (HCPP) was created by our credit union, exclusively for our members. HCPP cancels your loan payments if you get disabled or involuntarily become unemployed. Loss of Life coverage cancels your loan balance (up to the contract maximum) if you die so your spouse can keep that car or pay off that debt consolidation loan without having to worry about how they will make the loan payment with one income. Many people are skeptical whether these types of programs really pay claims. HCPP has helped many of our members.

1) You must complete the mission "Assmiliated" and the 3 Borg STFs (Infected, The Cure, Khitomer Accords). Each has one piece of borg equipment that you can add.
2) Assuming you are Rear Admiral or Vice Admiral - it's about learning a bit more about the combat system and how to optimize your build.
Basic Tips:
a) Run high weapon power.
b) Equip yourself with decent equipment (Mark X or higher, it doesn't even have to be green, blue or purple)
c) Hazard Emitters negates the shield neutralizer, Tactical Team Borg Boarding parties (the part where your cooldowns jump around, that's the boarding parties. Never invite Borg to your parties)
d) Know how to increase your damage output with various buffs (which ones depend on the ship you use and the class you play). Bridge Officer Power wise: Good weapon damage buffs are Cannon Rapid Fire, Attack Pattern Beta and Omega, Beam Overload, Beam Fire At Will, High Yield Torpedo (obviously you need to pick powers appropriate to your weapon choice). Good other damage sources are Charged Particle Burst, Gravity Well, Tyken's Rift, Eject Warp Plasma.
e) Train skills that fit to the Bridge Officer powers you use, and equip the right consoles and deflectors as well.
f) Don't run mixed energy weapon builds. It's not cost-effective.
g) Look into how you can increase your ship's endurance. This means not just to have some heals, but it also to have proactive ablities - things that give you hull or shield resistances. 2 Emergency Power to Shields can go a long way to make any ship endure a lot of damage (but keep in mind that the Borg shield neutralizer can ... neuter ... this.)

De La Hoya: Manny Pacquiao on a different level
LAS VEGAS—For eight rounds, he stood at the receiving end of a brutal, relentless beating so that when the bell rang for the ninth, he remained in his stool, unable to go any further.
Oscar De La Hoya, therefore, knows perfectly what he's talking about.
The Golden Boy, rebuilding a life that spiraled to drug-tainted depths after a thorough defeat at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, dropped by the Wild Card Gym Monday and said the Filipino star has a huge edge going into his showdown with Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12.
"Manny is on a whole different level," the 38-year-old former boxing poster boy said. "Manny has been fighting [the likes of] Shane Mosley, myself [and] Miguel Cotto. Marquez has been fighting ordinary fighters [and] that could be the difference."
De La Hoya, who actually visited the Wild Card Gym to check on his ward, Amir Khan, who trains there, fought Pacquiao in 2008 in what was initially pegged as a mismatch in favor of the American.
But Pacquiao snatched those odds and ran them through a shredder, pummeling De La Hoya with a dizzying combination of speed and power for eight rounds until the latter quit in the ninth.
De La Hoya hasn't fought since and his life took a turn for the worse when he made public a drug problem that forced him into rehab. He told journalists Saturday that he is slowly turning his life around.
"I'm turning my life around," he said, adding jokingly "but there will be no more comebacks for me."
De La Hoya called Pacquiao a special boxer who is "good for the sport" and said the reigning pound-for-pound king will enter his third bout against his arch-nemesis faster and stronger than in their two previous encounters.
"Manny is faster, stronger and Marquez is 38 years old," said De La Hoya. "But Manny has to be careful with his style. Marquez' style can be complicated for Manny."
De La Hoya knows Marquez' ploy of bulking up for the fight won't pose a problem to the eight-division champion. After all, the Golden Boy was also the bigger guy against Pacquiao during their 2008 bout. In fact, De La Hoya said, the added pounds may pose more of a problem to Marquez than to Pacquiao when fight night arrives.
"Marquez is 38 and he came up in weight too fast," De La Hoya said. "You can't do that in one fight and face Manny."
Pacquiao-Marquez III, which will be for the Pacman's WBO welterweight crown, will be fought at a catch weight of 144 pounds.
Since turning back Marquez by a narrow split decision in 2008 for the super featherweight crown, Pacquiao has scaled the next three higher divisions, winning titles in each of them.
The Filipino continues to sport overwhelming odds in the fight that will be held at the MGM Grand, with Vegas bookies putting him a -950 favorite against Marquez (+650).
Almost all betting lines have Pacquiao favored, with oddsmakers leaning toward a knockout by the Pacman. A huge reason for this is the fact that Pacquiao has floored Marquez four times in two previous encounters.
Pacquiao knocked down Marquez three times in the first round before the Mexican counterpuncher rallied to forge a draw in their first bout.
In the second meeting between the two, Pacquiao's third-round flooring of Marquez has been fingered as the crucial factor in the close decision.

West Point Police Department investigators have been rummaging through evidence and leads to make a speedy arrest in the Jan. 22 Town Creek Apartments shooting, which left an individual with a gunshot wound to the neck. But the shooter made investigators' jobs easier by turning himself in at about 10:30 a.m. Friday.
According to a press release issued by the WPPD, the shooter, West Point resident Deylon Antonio Harris, 17, was accompanied by family members Friday as he made his way into the department headquarters.
Harris' name and face was plastered over local media publications and newscasts Thursday night after investigators named him a suspect in the shooting. West Point Police Chief Tim Brinkley did not comment on questions regarding why Harris was deemed the primary suspect and said doing so would "blow the lid on the investigation wide open."
Brinkley said the department was not sideswiped by Harris' sudden decision to toss in the towel and turn himself in.
"Usually when we send (suspect's) pictures and a press release to the TV stations and they (air) on TV, it's usually within a couple of days they surrender," Brinkley said. " ... I think he knew we were looking for him."
Brinkley said had enough time passed, he would have enlisted the services of US marshals to execute a nationwide search for the alleged gunman. Were a suspect to remain hidden, Brinkley added he would have requested the assistance of federal agencies to help locate him/her overseas.

Portland Food Shelf Helps Pets in Need
A Portland, Ore. woman is helping bring aid to an often-ignored group of individuals suffering from the effects of the recession: our pets.
Joni Taylor, 53, is the head of FIDO, which stands for Friends Involved in Dog Outreach. The group raises support to provide dog food to pet owners in need.
Donations come in from pet shops and animal food makers, among others. On the the third Saturday of each moth, the food bank hands out a month's supply of dog food to anyone who asks.
On a recent Saturday, FIDO handed out over 3,000 pounds of food, the Los Angles Times reported.
The program comes as a welcome relief to many who are forced to choose between meeting their own needs and those of their pets.
Pat Foss, a 47-year-old who shares her home with seven rescued stray dogs, was able to receive 24 pounds of dry food, two cans of wet food and a gallon-sized bag of dog treats.
Eric Gateley lost his job as a construction manager in June, and says his dog, Bella, is someone he doens't have to put on a front for. Gateley has been living with his wife and 9-year-old son in a motel since January.
FIDO also provides dog food for shut-ins and senior citizens through its food delivery program.

EPA approves 15 percent ethanol for gasoline
WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency has approved blending higher concentrations of ethanol into gasoline for newer vehicles, allowing the corn-based fuel to be up to 15 percent of mixtures sold at the pump.
The maximum blend has been 10 percent ethanol. The EPA announced Wednesday that the higher blend is approved for use in cars and light duty trucks manufactured since 2007, if retailers want to sell it.
The EPA said it will propose new pump labeling requirements to help consumers figure out which gas to use in which vehicles.
"Thorough testing has now shown that E15 does not harm emissions control equipment in newer cars and light trucks," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said in a statement. "Wherever sound science and the law support steps to allow more homegrown fuels in America's vehicles, this administration takes those steps."
The move, which comes less than a month before November's midterm elections, is politically popular in rural farm areas. But ethanol faces strong opposition from the auto industry, environmentalists, cattle ranchers, food companies and a broad coalition of other groups.
Opponents argue that the increase in production of corn and its diversion into ethanol is making animal feed more expensive, raising prices at the grocery store and tearing up the land. Manufacturers of smaller engines - used in everything from lawn mowers to boats - also oppose increasing the use of the fuel, saying those engines are not designed for the higher concentrations.
The Obama administration has remained supportive of the renewable fuel, and the EPA has said a congressional mandate for increased ethanol use can't be achieved without allowing higher blends. Congress has required refiners to blend 36 billion gallons of biofuels, mostly ethanol, into auto fuel by 2022.
The ethanol industry maintains that there is sufficient evidence to show that a 15 percent ethanol blend in motor fuel will not harm engine performance. They say increased consumption of the renewable fuel creates new jobs and replaces imported oil.
The industry group Growth Energy petitioned the EPA to raise the blend in March. The decision was initially expected in December but was delayed twice as the agency and the Energy Department completed additional testing. The EPA is expected to make a second decision on the ethanol concentration allowed in cars manufactured between 2001 and 2006 after more testing is completed at the end of November.
Growth Energy President Tom Buis called the move a "good first step" and said the fuel could be available for sale as soon as early next year. He urged the agency to quickly approve the blend for older vehicles, saying there is no reason to limit the higher concentration to the newer models.
The EPA said there won't be a decision this year on boosting the ethanol concentration for cars and light trucks manufactured before 2001 - or for any motorcycles, heavy-duty vehicles, or non-road engines - because there is not sufficient testing to support such an approval.
Critics said the change could be a frustration to drivers who will have to figure out which service station pump to use. And they argued that many retailers will opt not to sell the higher blend because of the expense of adding new pumps and signs.

Charcot Marie Tooth disease is a group of disorders in which the motor and/or sensory peripheral nerves are affected, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy, as well as sensory loss. These manifestations occur first in the distal legs and later in the hands. The nerve cells in individuals with this disorder are not able to send electrical signals properly because of abnormalities in the nerve axon or abnormalities in the insulation (myelin) around the axon. Specific gene mutations are responsible for the abnormal function of the peripheral nerves. Charcot Marie Tooth disease can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked mode of inheritance.
Symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease usually begin gradually in adolescence, but can begin earlier or later. In almost all cases, the longest nerve fibers are affected first. Over time, affected individuals may lose the normal use of their feet, hands, legs and arms. Common red flags can include decreased sensitivity to heat, touch or pain, muscle weakness in the hand, foot or lower leg, trouble with fine motor skills, high-stepped gait (foot drop), loss of muscle mass in the lower leg, frequent tripping or falling, hammertoe, high foot arch and flat feet. Stretch reflexes may be lost. The disease is slowly progressive and variable and those affected may remain active for years and live a normal life span. In the most severe cases, breathing difficulties can hasten death.
Charcot Marie Tooth disease can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked dominant manner.
Genetic diseases are determined by the combination of genes for a particular trait that are on the chromosomes received from the father and the mother.
Recessive genetic disorders occur when an individual inherits the same abnormal gene for the same trait from each parent. If an individual receives one normal gene and one gene for the disease, the person will be a carrier for the disease, but usually will not show symptoms. The risk for two carrier parents to both pass the defective gene and, therefore, have an affected child is 25% with each pregnancy. The risk to have a child who is a carrier like the parents is 50% with each pregnancy. The chance for a child to receive normal genes from both parents and be genetically normal for that particular trait is 25%. The risk is the same for males and females.
Dominant genetic disorders occur when only a single copy of an abnormal gene is necessary for the appearance of the disease. The abnormal gene can be inherited from either parent, or can be the result of a new mutation (gene change) in the affected individual. The risk of passing the abnormal gene from affected parent to offspring is 50% for each pregnancy regardless of the sex of the resulting child.
X-linked dominant genetic disorders are caused by an abnormal gene on the X chromosome. Females with an abnormal gene are affected with the disease. Males with an abnormal gene are more severely affected than females.
CMT hereditary neuropathy is subdivided into several types termed CMT1, CMT2, CMT3, CMT4 and CMTX.
CMT1 is the dominant form of the condition in which nerve conduction velocities are slow, and is much more common that CMT2. CMT1 is caused by abnormal genes involved in the structure and function of myelin. CMT1 has been further subdivided into CMT1A, CMT1B, CMT1C, CMT1D, and CMT1X, based on specific gene abnormalities. CMT1A is caused by a duplication of the PMP22 gene that is located on chromosome 17 at 17p11.2. CMT1A is the most common type of CMT1. CMT1B is caused by an abnormality in the MPZ gene located on chromosome 1 at 1q22. CMT1C is caused by an abnormality in the SIMPLE gene located on chromosome 16 at 16p13.1-p12.3. CMT1D is caused by an abnormality in the EGR2 gene located on chromosome 10 at 10q21.1-q22.1. CMT1X is caused by mutations in GJB1 (located at Xq13.1), the gene that encodes the gap junction protein connexin32. Rarer subtypes of CMT1 may yet be found.
CMT2 is an autosomal dominant form of the condition in which nerve conduction velocities are usually normal or slightly slower than normal. CMT2 is caused by abnormal genes involved in the structure and function of axons. CMT2 has been further subdivided into CMT2A – 2L based on mutations in specific genes. CMT2A, is the most common, and is caused by mutations in the MFN2 gene located on chromosome 1 at 1p36.2. CMT2B is caused by mutations in the RAB7 gene located on chromosome 3 at 3q21. CMT2C is caused by an unknown gene located on chromosome 12 at 12q23-34. CMT2D is caused by mutations in the GARS gene located on chromosome 7 at 7p15. CMT2E is caused by mutations in the NEFL gene located on chromosome 8 at 8p21. CMT2F is caused by mutations in the HSPB1 gene. CMT2L is caused by mutations in the HSPB8 gene.
Dominant Intermediate CMT (DI-CMT) is so named owing to their "intermediate" conduction velocities and thus an uncertainty regarding whether the neuropathy is primarily axonal or demyelinating. Dominant mutations in DMN2 and YARS are known to cause this phenotype.
CMT3, also called Dejerine-Sottas disease, is no longer a useful genetic designation because individuals with this condition have been found to have a gene mutation in one of the genes responsible for CMT1A, CMT1B, CMT1D or CMT4.
CMT4 is an autosomal recessive form of the condition. It has been further subdivided into CMT4A, CMT4B1, CMT4B2, CMT4C, CMT4D, CMT4E and CMT4F. CMT4A is caused by an abnormality in the GDAP1 gene located on chromosome 8 at 8q13-q21. CMT4B1 is caused by an abnormality in the MTMR2 gene located on chromosome 11 at 11q22. CMT4B2 is caused by an abnormality in the SBF2/MTMR13 gene located on chromosome 11 at 11p15. CMT4C is caused by an abnormality in the KIAA1985 gene located on chromosome 5 at 5q32. CMT4D is caused by an abnormality in the NDRG1 gene located on chromosome 8 at 8q24.3. CMT4E, also known as congenital hypomyelination neuropathy, is caused by an abnormality in the EGR2 gene located on chromosome 10 at 10q21.1-q22.1. CMT4F is caused by an abnormality in the PRX gene located on chromosome 19 at 19q13.1-q13.2. CMT4H is caused by an abnormality in the FDG4 gene. CMT4J is caused by an abnormality in the FIG4 gene. Most cases of CMT2 are not caused by mutations in these genes, however, so that many genetic causes remain to be discovered.
CMTX is an X-linked dominant form of the condition. CMT1X accounts for approximately 90% of CMTX. The specific gene(s) responsible for the remaining 10% of individuals with CMTX have not yet been identified.
Autosomal recessive CMT2 is caused by mutations in LMNA and GDAP1.
Symptoms of CMT hereditary neuropathy usually begin gradually sometime in adolescence, early adulthood or middle age. The condition affects an equal number of males and females. CMT hereditary neuropathy is the most common inherited neurological disorder affecting more than 250,000 Americans. Since this condition is frequently undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or diagnosed very late in life, the true number of affected persons may be higher.
The diagnosis of CMT hereditary neuropathy can be challenging. The diagnosis is based on physical symptoms, family history and clinical tests. Clinical tests include nerve conduction velocity (NCV) which measures the speed at which impulses travel along the nerves and electromyogram (EMG) which records the electrical activity of muscle cell. . Molecular genetic testing is currently available for CMT1A, CMT1B, CMT1D, CMT2E, CMT4A, CMT4E, CMT4F and CMTX.
Treatment of CMT hereditary neuropathy is symptomatic and supportive. A cure is not available so it is important to minimize or stall the symptoms. Comprehensive treatments include physical therapy, shoe orthotics, leg braces and surgery to correct deformities. Complementary therapies may help psychologically, relieve pain and discomfort, and improve overall quality of life.

'Game Change' early winner in Globes

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Premium cable networks HBO and Showtime fought for supremacy in the Golden Globes TV awards Sunday with three honors each for the CIA thriller "Homeland and "Game Change," the movie about Sarah Palin's ascent from obscurity to 2008 vice presidential candidate.
Awards for "Girls" as best comedy and show creator Lena Dunham as best comic actress gave HBO a 5-4 victory over its biggest rival in the end.
For the commercial broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox it was a complete shutout. PBS had one award.
Despite the presence of show hosts and best comic actress nominees Tina Fey and Amy Poehler of NBC, it was Dunham who was proclaimed the queen of comedy Sunday. An emotional Dunham, who stars as Hannah Horvath in the series about young women in their 20s navigating young adulthood in New York City, thanked her fellow comedy nominees for helping her get through middle school, mono, a ruptured eardrum "and the acute anxiety that populates my entire life."
"This award is for everyone who felt like there wasn't a space for her," Dunham said. "This show has made a space for me."
Fey and Poehler, sharp in their first role as co-hosts, later appeared with drinks in their hands, noting that "everybody's getting loose now that we're all losers." Fey's influential "30 Rock" ends its run on NBC later this month.
Showtime's "Homeland" scored a sweep of the biggest drama awards, including best TV drama for the second year in a row. Co-stars Claire Danes, who plays CIA agent Carrie Mathison and Damian Lewis, who stars as Sgt. Nicholas Brody, both won top acting awards. Lewis emotionally dedicated his award to his late mother, while Danes paid to tribute to her baby son.

(Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
Alex Ganza, executive producer of "Homeland," recalled an arduous night of filming where star Claire Danes, eight months pregnant, had to do multiple takes being chased in a drainage pipe.
"We fairly killed ourselves trying to live up to the hype of that first season and this award tells that maybe, maybe, we didn't screw it up," he said.
Lewis said the last 18 months working on "Homeland" have been "an exciting, wonderful journey." He said that picking up "a piece of hardware like this is a great perk," holding up his Globe.

Casey hasn't nutted in a couple days - so where to go if you're horny and broke? VInnie's of course! When he's naked and ready to go I oil him up and stroke his cock as I run my hands thru his furry chest and stomach. I lick his balls as I continue with a killer hand job, but now I know he's ready for more and dive down on his cock. I let him jerk himself for a while and as I eat his balls and finger his butt hole I stroke my own cock. Soon he busts a huge nut on my cock! Casey grabs my cock (for the first time!) and massages it as I clean him up.

The Mountain West and Conference USA are planning to join forces to secure their future in the rapidly changing college football landscape.
The two leagues expect to merge their football operations into one mega-conference that will probably have between 20 and 24 teams in it when it finally gets going in 2013.
The name? They'll come up with one.
Will Boise State and Air Force, among others, stay? They hope.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — No more sleepless nights for Randy Wolf.
The 35-year-old left-hander blames himself for Milwaukee's division series against Arizona going the distance. He was more relieved than elated after his first career postseason win got the Brewers back to even in the NL championship series.
He ensured that the pennant will be decided at Miller Park.
"Just to be able to get another opportunity to pitch again was important," Wolf said after outfoxing the St. Louis Cardinals for seven innings of a 4-2 victory in Game 4 Thursday night. "It's kind of a weird word, but it's redemption to go back out there."
NEW YORK (AP) — Two weeks of NBA games are lost. Many more could be in jeopardy.
There's a "gulf" that separates owners and players, and they will have to close it quickly to avoid further damage to the schedule.
Sticking to his deadline, Commissioner David Stern wiped out the first two weeks of the season — exactly 100 games — after more than seven hours of negotiations Monday failed to produce a new labor deal and preserve the Nov. 1 season openers.
The cancellations mark the NBA's first work stoppage since the 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games.
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders will have to replace much more than an owner now following Al Davis' death.
He was the general manager who hand-picked many of the current members of the Raiders. He was the master technician whose football philosophies are still adhered to by the team more than three decades after he coached his last game. He was the iconic figure who turned his beloved franchise into a global brand whose silver-and-black colors are recognized around the world.
Most of all, Davis was the driving force behind a franchise that won three Super Bowl titles and was one of the most successful in pro sports until falling on hard times the past decade.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nelson Cruz hit the first game-ending grand slam in postseason history, lifting the Texas Rangers over the Detroit Tigers 7-3 in 11 innings Monday for a 2-0 lead in the AL championship series.
Cruz doubled early, then hit a tying home run in the seventh inning. His second homer of the game was a high drive to left field off Ryan Perry with nobody out in the 11th, and came after a misplay in the Detroit outfield loaded the bases.
"It was amazing," Cruz said. "First two pitches, I was too aggressive. I hit the ball — foul ball, foul ball. So after that, I told myself just slow down and try to hit a fly ball to the outfield."
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU accepted an invitation to join the Big 12 on Monday night, ignoring the conference's recent instability and seizing an opportunity to be a part of a league with natural geographic rivals.
Chancellor Victor Boschini Jr. made the expected announcement in front a packed room of more than 200 people, and athletic director Chris Del Conte fought back tears as he recalled receiving the phone call from the Horned Frogs' new conference last week.
"This is living proof that dreams do come true," he said.
NEW YORK (AP) — Now the Detroit Tigers can believe anything is possible.
They beat the New York Yankees in Game 5. At Yankee Stadium. Escaping jam after jam.
Now it's on to Texas, and the AL championship series starting Saturday night.
"It's a tremendous feeling," Doug Fister said after getting the 3-2 win Thursday. "You got to take this thing one step at a time and try to just soak it all in as we go."
Fister, not even with the Tigers until July 30, gutted through five mostly tricky innings to form an unlikely trio of stars.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — This is what Adrian Beltre envisioned when he signed with Texas in the offseason. Balls jumping off his bat in October, the Rangers making another run for the pennant.
Beltre hit three straight home runs and the defending AL champions advanced again, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in Game 4 Tuesday to win their playoff matchup.
Beltre put on a power show that few players in major league history have matched, helping Texas take the best-of-five series and ending the Rays' remarkable run to the wild-card spot. The Rangers next play the Detroit Tigers-New York Yankees winner.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Call it ugly. Call it sloppy. Call it anything you want.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers don't care. Close games, rallies, penalty-filled performances, as long as they end with celebrations, the Bucs will take them all.
Josh Freeman threw for 287 yards and a touchdown, LeGarrette Blount ran for 127 yards and a score, and the Buccaneers rallied to beat the winless Indianapolis Colts 24-17 on Monday night.
Freeman picked up the tough yards, Blount had the highlight play and the defense ended the night with four sacks. Together, they helped the Buccaneers win their third consecutive game.
No. 1 LSU (5-0) beat Kentucky 35-7. Next: vs. No. 12 Florida, Saturday.
No. 2 Oklahoma (4-0) beat Ball State 62-6. Next: vs. No. 17 Texas at Dallas, Saturday.
No. 3 Alabama (5-0) beat No. 12 Florida 38-10. Next: vs. Vanderbilt, Saturday.
No. 4 Boise State (4-0) beat Nevada 30-10. Next: at Fresno State, Friday.
No. 5 Oklahoma State (4-0) did not play. Next: vs. Kansas, Saturday.
No. 6 Stanford (4-0) beat UCLA 45-19. Next: vs. Colorado, Saturday.
No. 7 Wisconsin (5-0) beat No. 8 Nebraska 48-17. Next: vs. Indiana, Saturday, Oct. 15.
No. 8 Nebraska (4-1) lost to No. 7 Wisconsin 48-17. Next: vs. Ohio State, Saturday.
