Could J.R. Martinez Save 'All My Children?' Creator Agnes Nixon Speaks Out
Now the soaps' creator, Agnes Nixon has spoken out, saying there's still plenty more life in the old shows yet. According to 'The Daily Beast' she's even come up with "a compelling plot" starring brand new 'DWTS' champ J.R. Martinez. He played police officer Brot Monroe on the soap for three years until it was cancelled back in April.
'One Life to Live,' 'All My Children' Not Moving Online
"After five months of negotiations with various guilds, hundreds of presentations to potential financial and technology partners, and a hope that we could pioneer a new network for the future, it is with great disappointment that we are suspending our aspirations to revive 'One Life to Live' and 'All My Children' via online distribution," the duo said in a statement. "It is now becoming clear that mounting issues make our ability to meet our deadlines to get 'OLTL' on the air in a reasonable time period following its January 13, 2012 ABC finale impossible."
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos Look Back on Their 'All My Children' Days (VIDEO)
In a blast-from-the-past montage that featured much-younger looking versions of Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford, Ripa and Consuelos talked about starting out on 'AMC.'
Michael E. Knight Discusses the 'All My Children Finale' (VIDEO)
"I love the fact that I'm here cooking today, because they replaced us with a cooking show," Knight joked. He also said he was happy 'AMC' founder Agnes Nixon and some of the show's older characters got to appear in the finale.
Knight, much like fellow 'AMC' star Susan Lucci, has not yet signed on for the soap's online version, which will air in 2012.
Top 5 Clips of the Week: Emmys Beauty Pageant, Sheen Roasts Himself, 'X Factor' Flasher & More (VIDEO)
This week didn't let up. Between the Emmys and the start of Fall TV, it's all kind of a blur -- but there were some moments that stood out.
The Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Emmy nominees putting on a little beauty pageant warmed our jaded hearts, Charlie Harper's death on 'Two and a Half Men' was cathartic and Sheen's speech at his Comedy Central Roast was actually ... funny.
As the week moved on, we fell hook, line and sinker for the publicity stunt that was the 'X Factor' Flasher. And the final TV scene of 'All My Children,' a bizarre cliffhanger overflowing with soapy goodness, pretty much tied the whole week together.
Check out the clips after the jump to relive the week that was, and vote for your favorite in our weekly poll.
'The View' Bids 'All My Children' an Emotional Farewell (VIDEO)
In a montage that featured backstage footage of the cast and the behind-the-scenes players who made the show possible, 'AMC' producer Julie Hanan Carruthers set the tone. "This isn't a job for those of us who do it ... it's a life choice. It consumes your life in everything you do. So to do it, you have to love it, or you can't do it well," she said.
Series creator Agnes Nixon then read the show's credo as a toast to the entire cast: "The great and the least, for rich and for poor, in tragedy and triumph, you are 'All My Children.'"
'All My Children' Finale: Did Erica Kane Get Shot? (VIDEO)
The 'All My Children' finale certainly tried its hardest to give viewers a reason to tune into the series once it moves online. The beloved soap ended with a cliffhanger that hearkened back to the 'Dallas' finale, but instead of "Who shot J.R.?" it was, "Who did J.R. shoot?"
It all happened after Susan Lucci's Erica Kane rejected a marriage proposal from her longtime beau Jackson Montgomery. "I don't want to get married," she said. "As much as I want to be with you, I don't want to rush into some wedding just to reassure you that I'm not going anywhere."
"I wish you the best of luck in L.A., and in the rest of your life, without me," he said, walking out the door.
As Erica pleaded with him to stay and dramatic music played, he delivered a line that referenced 'Gone With the Wind.' "Frankly Erica, I don't give a damn about what you need."
'All My Children' Online: First Cast Members Announced, What Will Susan Lucci Do?
However, preparations to relaunch 'AMC' as an online series are gathering steam, and it's been announced that some cast members have agreed to stay with the show when it moves to online production.
Prospect Park, the company that's taking over from ABC in producing 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' issued a statement Monday confirming that Cameron Mathison, who plays Ryan Lavery, and Lindsay Hartley, who plays Dr. Cara Castillo Martin, have agreed deals to join the company's new production of 'All My Children.'
Will Susan Lucci Stay With 'All My Children'?
While the New York Post's initial report about ABC selling the rights of the two soaps to Prospect Park stated Susan Lucci was staying with 'All My Children,' that's still up in the air. Actors have yet to enter in negotiations with the new boss.
"I know Susan thinks it's great news for the fans that it seems a deal is in the works so that 'AMC' can continue. I don't have any information at this point on Susan's upcoming plans," Lucci's representative told FOX411.com.
It's Official: 'All My Children' & 'One Life to Live' Heading Online
"'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' are iconic pieces of television history that captivated millions of fans since their beginning over 40 years ago," ABC's head of daytime Brian Frons said in a statement. "Each of the shows have made an indelible mark on our culture's history and informed our consciousness in their own way. We are so glad Prospect Park has assumed the mantel for these shows and that they will continue for the fans."
Under the new deal, the two soaps will live online and will be accessible via any Internet-enabled device. They'll be the same length and format, and, according to the press release, the same quality.
New Life Online for 'All My Children' & 'One Life to Live'
The New York Post reports ABC has sold the rights to the beloved soaps to Prospect Park, a TV, film and music company.
The soaps will reportedly continue right where the televised finales end -- via web-only series. The soaps will air on an unnamed online TV network, much like Hulu, which may become home to other TV shows.
The same cast -- yes, even Susan Lucci -- and crew are expected to return.
'All My Children' Gets September 23 Finale
Better start saying your goodbyes to Erica Kane and the rest of Pine Valley because food and lifestyle program 'The Chew,' ABC's replacement for 'All My Children,' will debut the following Monday, Sept. 26.
Former 'All My Children' stars have been coming out of the woodwork to return to the series. So far, these actors and actresses have been confirmed by ABC as returning to the series one last time: Carol Burnett, Josh Duhamel, Eva La Rue, Thorsten Kaye, Kate Collins, Jennifer Bassey, Melissa Claire Egan and Leven Rambin.

Recently, the character has been played by Robin Mattson -- who is also a wonderful actress -- but Collins return is special because she's the originator of the role. She was last on 'All My Children' in 2007. Collins will be back on the show effective April 30, but the character has already been making her presence known.
Soap Round-Up - 'Days'' Sami and Rafe Fight Over EJ ... and More
Hello, soap fans. Welcome back to our newest feature -- the TV Squad Soap Round-Up. Each week, come visit us for a quick recap of what happened the previous week on all the daytime dramas. Remember, though, we're talking about every soap, from 'All My Children' to 'The Young and the Restless,' so if you don't want to know what you missed, consider this your SPOILER ALERT. For this week, we've divided the shows by network, starting with NBC's 'Days of Our Lives.'
'Days of Our Lives'
Sami was convinced that EJ was being sincere about his new attitude, even though both Brady and Rafe warned her not to trust him. Unbeknownst to Sami, EJ was in cahoots with Stefano again. Stefano realized that EJ was still in love with Sami, and forced EJ to do his bidding or else he was going to tell Sami the truth about EJ's part in Sydney's kidnapping. Meanwhile, Nicole advised Chloe to fight for Daniel before Carly made a move on him. Hope and Carly were fighting again, and Adrienne saved Justin when he was attacked outside the bar. Melanie confided to Daniel that she was in love with two men at once.

Charlotte Clews is a nature-nerd, yogini, runner, triathlete, mother and wildwoman teaching Vinyasa Yoga, Pilates and Ayurveda in Downeast, Maine and beyond.
I teach mindful movement of many kinds but yoga on the mat is one of the easiest ways to re-establish a respectful conversation with your body. Yoga is slow enough to attempt deep presence in moment-to-moment breath, movement and thought. Like a baby bird in a nest we can stay safe and cozy on our mat, investigating and micromanaging every twitch and fiber of our being and like baby birds, once we feel some mastery over our wings, we will probably want to fly.
Flying for me is running over mountains, getting up early to bike around the peninsula, swimming to offshore islands and dancing with my girlfriends. Above all, I live for the sharp, vibrant feeling that comes when I push up against the limits of my own athletic competence
I started yoga as a dull, aching, out-of-touch teenager. My first Ashtanga Yoga class made my mind sharp and my body resilient in just the right ways and I was totally hooked. My new daily practice followed me everywhere. It was the thread that held me together as I pushed myself to the limits emotionally and physically through my 20's. Overtime I spread my wings beyond the strict structure of that practice and have studied with a wide range of teachers, learning to value the wisdom of my own body above all.
I teach weekly Vinyasa yoga and Pilates classes to a wonderful community of good humored, hard working students in Blue Hill and Ellsworth, Maine. My classes are instructive and upbeat. I teach hatha yoga in the vinyasa style. Connecting breath and movement, the pace is slow enough to pay attention and cultivate good postural alignment but fast enough to cover a full-spectrum of poses in each class. I strive to integrate the most modern understandings of therapeutic alignment, breath and movement to help my students feel more at home in their bodies.
I also offer nutritional consultations and seasonal cleanses to help people all around the world feel good about how they feed themselves and their families.
I grew up in Blue Hill, Maine where I attended a Waldorf-inspired School, cultivating my love of art, nature and philosophy. After graduating from Cornell University in 1998 with a degree in ecology, I banded flocks of black-capped chickadees for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, prepared many bird study skins including one very memorable Canada goose, attached transmitters to unfortunate cow birds, drew blood from American kestrel chicks, hacked a rantallion of peregrine falcons on the Continental Divide for the Peregrine Fund, and joined warblers over-wintering in Domincan Republic cocoa plantations. Later I combined my biology and rock-climbing skills working for the Organization for Tropical Studies in Costa Rica (1998 – 2002) and National Outdoor Leadership School (1996 – 2002) in Alaska and the Yukon. In 1999 I hiked the 2,600mi Pacific Crest Trail alone, and in 2002 I hiked 2,000 miles of the Continental Divide Trail with my future husband. I attended the Field Naturalist Program at University of Vermont and earned an M.S. in botany in 2002. I taught wildlife biology and winter ecology for the Community College of Vermont and Sterling College (2002-2006). I have since worked as an interpretive Park Ranger for Acadia National Park (2003 – 2009) and was the Director of Stewardship at Blue Hill Heritage Trust (2009 – 2011).
I started teaching yoga in 1998, and completed my first teacher training with Richard Freeman in 2000. I spent several years in Boulder, CO studying classical yoga philosophy, physiology, anatomy, yoga therapy and Ayurveda. In 2004 I started studying with John Friend, the founder of Anusara Yoga and became Maine's first certified Anusara Yoga Teacher in 2010. I resigned my license with Anusara in April 2012 due to irreconcilable differences with John Friend. I have had many other influential teachers along the way, including most notably Angela Farmer.
In the last 20 years, I have accrued thousands of hours of teacher training. I'm a certified teacher trainer and regularly teach teachers, including 200 and 500-hr level Yoga Teacher Trainings.
I live with my husband and two daughters in Blue Hill, Maine, just a short bike ride away from Acadia National Park.

Festival Report: See and Be Scene at Governors Ball
Amidst LONG-AWAITED COMEBACKS AND COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION, THIS FEST IS ALL ABOUT APPEARANCES
Early Friday afternoon, the MTV Iggy crew boarded the East River ferry out of Midtown Manhattan to catch the annual Governors Ball 0n Randall's Island, New York City. Hosting comeback kings such as OutKast and more contemporary pioneers like Skrillex, this lineup was by far the most impressive and well-rounded yet for the fest. Over the weekend, you could even hear a few of the estimated 13,385 concertgoers arguing that with such a robust lineup, the standard weekend pass was well worth the $250 (or $115 per day).
But let's face it — most people attending the Governors Ball were hardly so resourceful as to take advantage of an entire day's worth of live music. (Our staffers included — mornings, amiright?) Though the festival opened at noon, it seemed as though its rush hour took place between 3 pm and 5 pm, during which young music fans flocked the ferries and stormed the bridge. (And hundreds hit the free ice cream line before seeing anything else.)
It was almost — no, totally unfair that Janelle Monae was scheduled so early in the day. At 3 pm the leading lady of alternative soul drew in almost the entire population of concertgoers, making it tough to get close enough to see her. But, like a goddess crooning from the peak of Mount Olympus, her call alone was glorious enough to witness.
Meanwhile, the young charmers of Bastille worked hard to woo their young audience with a sultry cover of TLC's "No Scrubs." While some people in the audience sang along resolutely, others missed the beat. (Did it absolutely kill me when a teen asked another where the song was from? Yes, a little.)
While La Roux led what was essentially a solo karaoke disco party to a sizable crowd under the Gotham tent, Neko Case commanded a powerful, yet understated performance to a humble audience of heartwarmingly earnest (and older) fans. Backed by her phenomenal rock 'n' roll band, her voice was strong and smooth as maple syrup. She was definitely the best kept secret of the Ball, but it's hard to say whether that's good or bad.
Remember Phoenix? The French band reunited on Friday night to evoke lots of memories and led lots of young women to crydancing. (Crying while dancing.) Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley turned up the heat at the Honda Stage, entrancing many in the audience into a slow wine (and for some young New England college students, a clumsy grind).
AND THEN CAME GRIMES AND HER MIMES. No really, Montreal's most famous wallflower emerged, bathed in pink light and surrounded by mimes and ribbon dancers. She shared with us three new songs, one of them being "Go," which she says was rejected by Rihanna.
R&B legends OutKast busted open their set with 2000 underground hit, "B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)." While dancing on a hill full of unusually mild-mannered teens, I worried that the duo would meet the same tragic fate they did at Coachella. But their flow was flawless, the crowd eventually developed a pulse (and some moves), and the only thing that brought me down was the fact that Big Boi and Andre 3000 may never make music together again. They still got it, though, for sure.
Before we move onto the rest of the weekend, a brief fashion report: the count of flower crowns hit 115 by Friday's end. We spotted 17 white people with dreads, and countless young folks sporting decontextualized bindis, decontextualized tribal face paint, and tattoos of Native Americans. Thankfully nobody tried to don a traditional Sioux headress, but I did see one guy wearing a giant Coneheads hat. What was inside?
Long story short, Saturday's crowd was most rapt under the spell of The Strokes and Skrillex. After a lukewarm reception of his side project The Voidz, Julian Casablancas worked extra hard to please with The Strokes' Saturday night performance. Skrillex' spaceship-themed stage setup and his ability to appease both metal and hip-hop fans garnered him an unsurprisingly rave response from the audience. Is it just me or is it 2001 again? Can we call his EDM post-nu metal? I'm totally kidding, kind of.
On Sunday, Banks graced the Gotham tent with her angelic presence, although her vocals were done little justice by the sound team. AlunaGeorge followed with a mission to please the crowd, who happily accepted their never-released, dance-rock banger.
It was a long time coming, but The Kills returned to the stage and captivated the audience with what felt like a single epic stoner jam. Though many audience members arrived at their set with fresh ears, they were naturally magnetized by Alison Mosshart's near-effortless performance. And jussaying, some serious babies might've been conceived during James Blake's set. If not, then, some serious naps.
Interpol took the Big Apple stage as the sun set on the dusty, trash-laden fields. By Sunday night, the crowd seemed physically spent, grumbling about expensive truck food and allergies. Yet everyone around me danced furiously to Interpol hits of yesteryear, as well as some less punchy post-punk cuts from their upcoming album, El Pintor. While most coasted over to enjoy the breezy vibes of Vampire Weekend, I was so, so ready for that hour-long ferry ride back to the mainland, far away from belly chains and the discomfort of knowing that at 24, I even felt a little too old and jaded for this.

Analysts expect that increased volatility in commodities markets globally will drive spend in risk management IT. However, commodities present their own unique characteristics that must be observed, making it fundamental for IT vendors looking to capitalize on the opportunity to have a full understanding and appreciation of the underlying physical market and of their potential client's business.
Tough talk from the G20 about clamping down on tax havens is making for very uncomfortable reading among jurisdictions that hold non-resident client assets, including those in Europe. Although no specific sanctions against uncooperative jurisdictions were outlined, Brazil provides an example of the kind of 'stick' that could be used on the European jurisdictions to make them show willing.
Consumer packaged goods company Unilever has announced an overall decline in sales and profits for the first three months of 2009. The firm has been hit by falling sales in developed countries, although growth has been seen in emerging markets. Many consumers have traded down as their disposable income shrinks, but investment from Unilever should ensure that it remains in a strong position.
Firms in the transportation and logistics industry indulged in calibrated deal-making during Q3 2009, with strengthening balance sheets remaining a key objective. While the sector has been recovering slowly, it is expected that an improving global economy will soon lead to renewed confidence among its investors, which in turn will cause an upswing in majority acquisitions.
The air freight industry experienced its worst year since records began in 2009, with a 10.1% decline overall. There were encouraging signs of recovery in November and December 2009, especially in China, but the challenges for long-term profitability, such as loss of business to other forms of transport, are significant.

At times, the transformations of baseball destiny seem preposterous. A year and a day ago, the Phillies' three-game invasion of Nationals Park finally ended. More than 120,000 fans attended, including the biggest crowd in Nationals Park history (44,685), with the majority of them rowdy and rooting for the Phillies. The Phils were on their way to 102 wins, the most in a team history that dates back to 1883, the Chester A. Arthur administration.
That was an adult-beverage zenith for Phils fans, who arrived in buses with suds up to the windows, but a sobering low-water mark for the Nationals. Out-cheered and jeered in their own park, the Nats were still 60-64 losers, even though they won that series two games to one with one in a walk-off. Was that the first shot of a revolution?

Confusion, lack of data has rescue workers, medical experts frustrated
TUESDAY, Sept. 11 (HealthDay News) -- No one doubts the impact of the Sept. 11, 2001, World Trade Center disaster on rescue and cleanup workers' hearts, lungs and minds.
First, workers inhaled a toxic cocktail of soot, metals and other particles deep into their lungs during 12-hour shifts that lasted for weeks. There was also the psychological toll the cleanup effort took -- especially on those least prepared to deal with it.
"There were quite powerful stories of workers who would receive a load of debris and be dumping and find, for example, a human hand in it. And then not to be able to adequately process what it was that they were experiencing," said Alison Geyh, an environmental health scientist at Johns Hopkins University who spent weeks at the site -- an experience she said often left her shaken.
When it comes to the long-term health impact on workers, however, nothing remains certain, despite numerous highly publicized reports from government and private agencies.
"It's a real commentary that here we can have the largest manmade catastrophe of this sort for which we have so little environmental data," said Jeanne Stellman, now a professor of preventive medicine at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, in New York City.
"That's really a sad commentary on how we handled it," said Stellman, who took part in a landmark Mount Sinai Medical Center study as the deputy director of Mount Sinai's Selikoff Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine in New York City.
The study released by the center just before the five-year anniversary of 9/11 found that 69 percent of 9,442 responders examined reported "new or worsened respiratory symptoms."
Almost half -- 46.5 percent -- of responders suffered more serious lower respiratory symptoms, including phlegm-laden "World Trade Center cou

Polumbus, Doughty return to Denver as visitors
2 Minute Drill: Redskins vs. Broncos preview
Redskins lead evaporates in Denver
RG3 struggles mightily in loss
RG3 leaves early with knee injury
RG3 calms fears of knee injury
RG3: "Our division is still wide open"
Pugh's wild week ends with INT
Mike Shanahan's return to Denver dominates the story line this week as the Redskins travel to face the Broncos, but the head coach is not the only Washington face with ties to the Rocky Mountains.
Certainly Shanahan going back to the city where he won two Super Bowls and coached for more than a decade deserves center stage, but both Reed Doughty and Tyler Polumbus will encounter similar homecoming weekends.
For Polumbus, this weekend won't be an ordinary road trip. He grew up in Denver, played college football at Colorado University in Boulder, and even played with the Broncos in 2009.
"I've played a lot of games in that stadium," Polumbus said of Denver's Sports Authority Field at Mile HIgh.
Another aspect not lost on the players is the amount of tickets they need to buy for family and friends to see them in action.
"My whole family is out there. I had to pick up plenty," Polumbus said. Asked what side his family would be rooting for, Polumbus scoffed, "they're rooting for me, they're Redskins fans."
While the Redskins may not know if Reed Doughty will be able to play on Sunday, it didn't stop the safety from also having to get a number of tickets for friends and family.
Doughty grew up in Greeley, Colo., and attended Northern Colorado.
"Heading back to Colorado is really cool because it's the first time I've been back here," Doughty said. "First time playing pro football in my home state."
Unlike Polumbus, Doughty did not seem as confident in what team his family would root for.
"I'll have a lot of family and friends supporting me," he said. "Probably cheering for the Broncos but supporting me."
Both Doughty and Polumbus said they were Broncos fans growing up, and rooted for Shanahan. They expect the coach to be well received by the Denver crowd.
"I know he's well respected there. I watched him growing up, watched him win two Super Bowls," Doughty said. "That was a very big deal for Denver."
Known as Mile High, the altitude in Denver can pose a real issue for visiting teams, Polumbus explained.
"I probably adjust to it a little easier. It is real. You see guys come in and they get gassed," Polumbus said of Colorado's thin air. "It's a real issue you have to face. We will be ready. Most of it is just knowing it's going to hit you."
Despite the additional friends and family, a football game remains to be played, and pro football players tend to be able to block out the ether once the ball is kicked.
"When it's all said and done, this game is no different than any other," Polumbus said. "We just got to go get a win."

NEWPORT CITY – The Newport City Council Monday scrambled to sign a resolution for the police department's new 2013 Ford Interceptor cruisers – both of them, even though the council had initially approved the purchase or lease of only one.
"We need to approve it because the police cars have already been delivered," said city manager John Ward Jr. "They were ordered in January."
The department also had to order a new cage for the cruisers because the existing ones don't fit the new cruisers.
DERBY – Close to 100 people packed into the Derby Town Office Monday evening for the select board's regular meeting. Most were there to hear about and discuss the pending resignation of town clerk and treasurer Nicole Daigle.
During the meeting, Daigle announced that Sept. 30 will be her last day.
Daigle told the select board during an executive session several weeks ago that she had found a new job.
Daigle said she did not want to leave the town in a bind so she hired and was training Faye Morin so that come Town Meeting Day a candidate would be ready to take over Daigle's job.
COATICOOK,QC–On August 8th the O.E.C. Lightning traveled to Coaticook and came away with a very exciting win to end their season.
With the lead changing hands 4 times throughout the course of the game, it took the Lighting until the top of the 7th to finally put it away thanks to a 4 run outburst.
But lets go back to see how we got there.
In the top of the first Phoenix Malanga led off for the Lightning and the very first pitch he saw drilled it in the gap in left center for a double.

K.R. Wilson Tools: Interview with collector Tim Hill
One of the many supply shops that carried Ford-approved K. R. Wilson tools. All images from the collection of Tim Hill.
Folks in the car hobby frequently end up collecting specialized tools to help them work on their vehicles – Pozidrive screwdrivers for MGBs, spring spreaders for Model A Fords, etc. – and sometimes we begin to appreciate the tools themselves for what they are, and when they're antiques, for all the fellow wrench turners who've put them to work in the past.
K.R. Wilson Tools are undoubtedly familiar to the vintage Ford set, but as an American success story, the rise of Kirke R. Wilson and his manufacturing business have even broader appeal.
Wilson was born in 1889 and founded his tool-making business in 1920 in Arcade, New York, where from 1905-1907 he had operated the first specialized automotive garage in town and gone on to run dealerships for several different carmakers. With firsthand knowledge of what was needed to work on automobiles, along with the input of his brother Frank C. Wilson and Grant Sillman, he was primed for success in the motor vehicle industry.
After distinguishing himself in the Army in The Great War, that success came for Wilson first in 1921 with the production of KRW's combination machine, which was fast recognized for its advancement in engine rebuilding. Following on this, Wilson began manufacturing accessories and then tools for Fords, the quality and efficacy of which Henry Ford himself recognized around about 1926, hence contracting with Wilson to provide all of Ford's registered dealerships and repair shops with a complete system for servicing the Ford automobile.
For more of Wilson's story, visit Tim Hill's KR Wilson Tools page, where you will find a more complete biography of Wilson, as well as scans of KRW catalogues and news clippings, along with a discussion forum, list of KRW tools available for purchase and other resources. Now let's turn to an interview with KRW tool collector Tim Hill, himself like Wilson, a machinist and lover of Fords.
Hemmings Daily: What should readers know about K.R. Wilson, his business, and his tools?
Tim Hill: K.R. Wilson was a very smart, hardworking individual who was taken under the wing of Henry Ford who insisted that all his dealerships bought and used K.R. Wilson tools exclusively. He made a lot of money in his lifetime but did not have a fairy tale life. His one and only son died at an early age, and the same happened with his wife. All the money he earned did not bring him all he wanted.
HD: What is it about collecting tools that keeps you collecting?
Tim: I have always been interested in the Ford Model T, Model A and the Henry Ford story so much that my grade three speech was about him. When I was 19 years old, I bought my first Model A (a Fordor body with enough parts to build a chassis).
After about a year, I had the chassis finished and was preparing to replace the wood that was mostly rotten in the body. My father and I worked together on the project and made a good team as he was very good with wood, and I liked the wrenching. In the midst of the project he passed away, and it became apparent that it was more than I could handle.
The car was sold, and it took about 30 years for me to get the bug again. I now own a 1931 Ford Model A Roadster and use it often. Once I had become a Model A guy again, I went on the Internet and came across the name of K.R. Wilson. That got me started off on another hobby. Since then, I have been all over the U.S. and Canada on the trail of KRW and have a website to try to share the knowledge.
HD: Why collect K.R. Wilson Tools?
Tim: I am intrigued by K.R. Wilson and how he stood on the side and watched how mechanics of the time repaired the early Fords. He would come up with better tools and ways to make the repairs. His first tool that he invented was a jig to ream the transmission cases of the Ford Model T. He demonstrated this tool and presold and financed the production of the first batch with money he collected.
HD: What are the most collectible tools in the K.R. Wilson line? How much do these tools typically cost?
Tim: It seems like the most common tools collected are the Model A tools for removing and replacing the front and rear wheel bearings. These tools sold new for around $2.75 – $3.75 and will now bring around $100.00 each. One piece that I saw go for especially big money was the A-402 Oil Groove Cutter that originally sold for $9.00 and brought $2,150.00. Some tools are scarcer than others and bring the big boys out.
HD: How many people would you estimate collect K.R. Wilson tools?
Tim: Almost 75 percent of the people who own a Model A or T have at least one K.R. Wilson tool or have used one.
HD: How big would you estimate your collection is?
Tim: My collection varies from day to day, as I am continually buying and selling to try to offset my expenses and end up with the tools I don't have. I have visited and talked to other collectors who have way more than I do, but my big thing is I enjoy sharing the passion and talking KRW to anyone who will listen.
HD: What is the most interesting thing to happen to you while in the pursuit of collecting these tools?
Tim: I guess what I find most interesting are the couple of times that I have found old Ford dealerships with the K.R. Wilson tools still on site. It's so neat to think that these tools were ordered from the K.R. Wilson plant, delivered to the garage, used for many years and were sitting there waiting for me to dig them out and show them to anyone who wants to look.
HD: Where should collectors look for K.R. Wilson tools, in addition to your website? And what should they know about collecting?
Tim: The easiest place is online, but then you have to bid against the rest of the country. Flea markets seem to have fewer and fewer tools, but you can still find a few of them out there.
Original tools that have been kept inside and still have the original paint on them are the best and hardest to locate. Next, the tools that have found their way outside and have been rained on are still good, but have to be cleaned and repainted.
An original K.R. Wilson tool usually has a stamp or marking of some sort on it and are of superior quality to modern tools.
HD: You mentioned earlier that you believe that about 75 percent of Model A and T owners either own or have used K.R. Wilson tools? How can a person tell if a tool is safe?
Tim: Most of KRW tools are very well built and have lasted all these years and are still able to perform their original use as they did back in the day. There are few that may be considered dangerous, one being the rear spring assembly press which has been known to fly out of position and has the reputation of damaging objects or people in its way. New equipment exists that's capable of doing a more precise job, but all in all K.R. Wilson tools still perform well.
HD: Why might a person want to use K.R. Wilson tools instead of their modern equivalents?
Tim: One of the biggest reasons is that by using KRW's tools, you are doing the work in the way it was done back in the day at the Ford dealership, and that can give a person a lot of satisfaction.
The Bauer Motor Company in Burdett, Kansas, outfitted with K.R. Wilson tools.
HD: What should people do to maintain their K.R. Wilson tools? Should they ever strip and paint them? Does that reduce their value?
Tim: A tool in its original condition, with its original paint is most sought after, so a light oiling should keep them in the same condition. Depending on its rarity, a tool that has been cleaned and repainted can still be of value.

Yoga for Cyclists part 11: Lower back
You've stretched your trunk, now go the other way and strengthen your back too
Previous News

When you cycle, the posture you take over the bars pulls in and tightens the abdominals (even if it doesn't actually strengthen them!), but you never do the reverse movement, stretching out the back.
Road.cc's resident yoga expert Karen Burt shows you how to activate the muscles that run up the outside of the spine - and rest easy - this is exercise you can do lying down!
Last week we looked at the role of the trunk in Yoga for Cyclists part 10, and we'd urge you to do the two sets of exercises in tandem. Of course, the way we've arranged these videos means you can make your own compilation of exercises to give you a home workout that provides exactly the kind of benefits you personally need.
Here's how to open out and relax your back, to get the most out of your training:

Sappi Fine Paper North America and the city of Westbrook announced yesterday that they plan to look at removing the dam, located at Saccarappa Falls in downtown Westbrook.
After fighting efforts to provide fish passage on its dams on the Presumpscot River, a Westbrook paper manufacturer says it's now considering removing the Saccarappa Dam.
Sappi Fine Paper North America and the city of Westbrook announced yesterday that they plan to look at the impact of taking down the dam, located at Saccarappa Falls in downtown Westbrook. Sappi is also considering donating land along the river to the city.
"The Presumpscot River runs through the heart of our community and we think it is the key to our environmental and economic revitalization," says Mayor Colleen Hilton, in a statement. "The more natural and accessible this stretch of river becomes, the more likely it is that fish species will flourish, and recreational use of the river will expand."
Westbrook officials say removing the dam could help boost the city's ongoing effort to improve a series of walking trails along the river, and encourage recreational opportunities such as kayaking.
The battle over removing dams on the river began in the mid-1990s, and environmentalists remain skeptical. Sean Mahoney of the Conservation Law Foundation told the Portland Press Herald that Sappi has "done nothing to date voluntarily," according to the paper.
Westbrook officials say the city has applied for a federal grant to explore the potential impact of the dam's removal.

Q&A with John Wiscaver
Summer comes with added risks,
OK insurance professional says
Q: What are some unique insurance issues to consider for summer?
A: Summertime brings increased risks that come with outdoor activities. For example, there were 4,062 recreational boating accidents in the U.S. in 2013 with about $39 million in property damage as a result, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Before you hit the lake, use your pool or take off for a summer vacation, review your insurance policies to ensure you and your family are properly covered.
Q: How can homeowners make sure they're protected this summer?
A: Homeowners insurance may not provide enough coverage if you have a pool, and some policies may even exclude pools. Consider boosting liability coverage using an umbrella policy if available, which increases your coverage beyond what you might have on other policies. As far as watercraft are concerned, if you have a canoe, small sailboat or small motorboat with less than 25 mph horsepower, your homeowners or renters insurance may be sufficient. For larger and faster boats, you'll want a separate marine policy. The cost will depend on your boating experience, type of boat, location you'll be using it and safety equipment on board. Proper insurance will pay not only if your boat is accidentally lost or damaged, but also for damage or injuries to others.
Q: What about insurance coverage for vehicles?

Tom Selleck Owns an Avocado Farm?! Plus: 8 Other Celebs Whose Side Jobs Should Become Reality Shows
But Vanilla Ice and company aren't the only celebs who've got cool side projects going, and he's not the only one who could inspire a TV show. Here, a few more celebs whose moonlighting works could lead to new reality TV series ...
Tom Selleck
Day job: Leading the NYPD on the new cop/family drama 'Blue Bloods'
Side project: Raising some tasty avocados on his ranch in California. The actor, who also plants memorial trees on the ranch when famous pals like Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Ronald Reagan pass away, grows 63 acres of avocados, and sells the cream of his crop every year. Bonus celeb avocado farmers: Jason Mraz, and Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, who grows his avocados on a farm that shares a fence with Selleck's spread.
Possible show title: 'Green Acres With Tom Selleck'
Bruce Campbell
Day job: Being a horror movie legend and helping the little guy as retired spy Sam on 'Burn Notice'
Side project: Growing lavender on his farm in Oregon. The cult fave actor tells TV Squad that he grows an amount that's too small to process for profit, but what he does grow is processed into lavender oil, which he gifts to friends, family and 'Burn Notice' cast and crew every year. He also points out that he has to take the lavender to Northern California to have it distilled into oil ... "I take it to a facility owned by (actor-turned-cop/reality TV star) Steven Seagal," Campbell says. "I don't think he knows about it, though."
Possible show title: 'Lavender Farming With Bruce Campbell,' because, really, could there be a funnier, or more surreal, name for a TV show?
Kiefer Sutherland
Day job: Saving the world for eight seasons on '24,' and planning the upcoming '24' movie
Side project: Owning his own music label. For reals. Sutherland and his musician BFF Jude Cole (who had a Top 40 hit with 'Baby, It's Tonight') started Ironworks, an indie record label, in an old ironworks building in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles. Among the label's artists: Lifehouse and Billy Boy on Poison.
Possible show title: Kiefer says he and Cole started the company as a way to help great unsigned bands break into the music business, which has us thinking Fox really missed an opportunity to keep the '24' star on the network as an 'American Idol' judge ... who wouldn't have tuned in every week to see Jack Bauer give feedback to the wannabes: "Damnit, Tim Urban, I told you last week you were pitchy!" Their loss, and ours. But it's not too late to get Kiefer back on the tube with some sort of musical series, so we'll go with a weekly series in which he tells us about the new musical acts we should be checking out, and we'll call it, 'Jack Bauer Saves the Music Industry, Too.'
Nick Offerman
Day job: Scene stealer Ron Swanson on 'Parks and Recreation'
Side project: He builds boats! Seriously. He's a professional boat builder and wood craftsman, and he has even released an instructional DVD, 'Fine Woodstrip Canoe Building with Nick Offerman.' The actor, whose character built a canoe as a thank you gift on the show, even built pal Rainn Wilson's kitchen table.
Possible show title: Given he and wife, and frequent co-star, Megan Mullally's naughty sense of humor, 'Got Wood? With Nick Offerman.'
Teri Hatcher
Day job: 'Desperate Housewives' diva
Side project: GetHatched.com, a "chick's guide to life." The lifestyle website, which Hatcher launched as part of the Disney Family.com site, features the usual service-y home, health, love, work and style advice, along with lots of celeb input from Hatcher pals like Eva Longoria and Bravo god Andy Cohen. GetHatched.com is similar to Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop.com, without Gwynie's snootiness.
Possible show title: It's tough to top that catchy web title, so if Hatcher ever decides to give Martha Stewart a run for her domestic doyenne money, 'Get Hatched With Teri' should definitely be the name of her show.
Daniel Day-Lewis
Day job: Oscar-winning star of 'There Will Be Blood' and 'My Left Foot'
Side project: In the late '90s, during some downtime from Hollywood, Day-Lewis spent a summer working with an Italian custom shoe designer, learning the craft of cobbling. Many people assumed the Method actor was preparing for a role, but he simply had become fascinated with the process of making shoes after purchasing a pair from Italian shoemaker Stefano Bemer.
Possible show title: 'My Left (and Right) Foot With Daniel Day-Lewis'
Kristin Bauer
Day job: She's vampire and Fangtasia owner Pam on 'True Blood'
Side project: She's an artist who works under her married name, Kristin Bauer van Straten. She creates in pencil, charcoal, pastels and oil painting, has worked on commissioned projects and shows off her works on her official Website (which includes a cool sketch of co-star Alexander Skarsgard).
Possible show title: Haven't you missed the "happy little trees" guy, the late Bob Ross, and his 'Joy of Painting' show on PBS? 'True Blood' star Bauer could lead her own art instruction series: 'The True Joy of Painting.'
Kal Penn
Day job: He's filming another 'Harold & Kumar' flick, 'A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas.'
Side project: In 2008, as a visiting lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania, he taught the courses "Images of Asian Americans in the Media" and "Contemporary American Teen Films," and in 2009, he quit his regular gig on 'House' to go to the White House, where he spent a year as the Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement for President Obama.
Possible show title: Penn's the perfect host for a TV show that would cover the ever-intersecting world of politics and pop culture/Hollywood ... 'A Harold & Kumar Political World'? Maybe not. How 'bout the simple, but alliterative, 'Penn on Politics'?
Mary Beth Evans
Day job: She's best known for her long-running roles as Kayla on 'Days of Our Lives' and Sierra on 'As the World Turns.'
Side project: As TV Squad's Allison Waldman pointed out earlier this week, Evans' side gig is making delicious apple and pumpkin pies, which can be purchased during the holiday season at the Williams-Sonoma Website.
Possible show title: 'Days of Our Pies,' of course.

Céad Míle Fáilte 'A Hundred Thousand Welcomes and some fine food and coffee' at The Playwright Cafe.
You will get a big Irish welcome at the Playwright Cafe, a wonderfully comfortable place to go in the thriving area of the borders of Kreuzberg and Neukoelln on Pannierstrasse and right beside the Landwerkanal. We were very impressed by the very friendly waitress and the coffee and banana bread in particular were very tasty. The food on choice is very varied and great value, in particular the excellently priced Playwright Breakfast is fantastic and a great treat for any expats out there. The selection of cakes were also very nice. I also like that you can collect a stamp for every coffee you buy and your are rewarded after your card has been stamped in full, a nice reward schreme for loyal customers. I can imagine it must be the perfect place to go for Sunday Brunch and when the weather is nice there is some lovely outdoor seating where you can people watch.
Also if you are interested in Irish literature the backroom is a delight with lots of great books there and a great gallery of the Irish Literary Giants. It is a very cosy room and you can hang out here til 8pm during the week and til 12 at the weekend. Must also mention how very clean the WC were here, another problem in a lot of Berlin establishments.
One other thing of note is that the choice of music was fantastic, anywhere that plays a full Neil Young album during the day has to be given a big thumbs up, that and it has super fast wi fi so its nice place to come and work. Check out their website or Facebook page for more information, the website is in English and German. Can't wait to get back there again and hear what other great music choices they may have. It is something that is often overlooked in Berlin, nice to hear some decent tunes in a very decent cafe indeed!

Perspective helps ease broken heart
The relationship I was in the last seven months ended last month, reminding me how bad one can feel when their heart is broken unexpectedly. I have been really down lately and felt nobody could feel as sick to their stomach as I do, until the other day when I got a phone call.
The phone call was from my father, a retired police officer turned church employee. My father asked me if I could translate for him because he had a man visit the Newbury Park church offices who spoke only Spanish.
As luck would have it, I was in town on holiday from graduate school and back from a recent business trip to Africa.
After explaining to my father that translating over the phone wouldn't go over well, I said I'd stop by the church offices to help.
So, I drove a few minutes to my parents' church. When I arrived, I saw the man waiting in the lobby.
It turns out that the man was from Honduras and facing pretty hard times, so he came to the church for help. He lives in a room beneath the staircase at his friend's apartment and lost his job painting houses about three months ago.
As a result, the man has been strapped for cash and barely able to eat. In fact, he pointed out the IV mark on his arm left over from his hospital stay, in which he was receiving treatment for ulcers induced by not being able to eat enough.
On top of everything, he was explaining how he has no family here and no support system. Additionally, he is trying to get a job to buy a return ticket to Honduras, as he seems to have lost hope of prospering in California. Until then, his life and livelihood seem to be in limbo.
Fortunately, we were able to provide him with food and money for his rent. After that, he expressed his gratitude for helping him in these hard times and we both went our separate ways.
I guess what I am trying to say is that sometimes it takes an incident like this to put things into perspective. Although my heart is still broken, I know I don't have it as bad as others. If anything, I hope this serves as a reminder that while we are "statistically" out of the recession, as Federal Reseve Chairman Ben Bernanke put it, many around us are still in need and that we need to look out for one another.

Male, Female: The Evolution of Human Sex Differences, Second Edition
For individuals in the U.S. & U.S. territories
Why do girls tend to earn better grades in school than boys? Why are men still far more likely than women to earn degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics? And why are men on average more likely to be injured in accidents and fights than women? These and many other questions are the subject of both informal investigation in the media and formal investigation in academic and scientific circles.
In his landmark book Male, Female: The Evolution of Human Sex Differences, author David Geary provided the first comprehensive evolutionary model to explain human sex differences. Using the principles of sexual selection such as female choice and male-male competition, the author systematically reviewed and discussed the evolution of sex differences and their expression throughout the animal kingdom, as a means of not just describing but explaining the same process in Homo sapiens.
Now, over ten years since the first edition, Geary has completed a massive update, expansion and theoretical revision of his classic text. New findings in brain and genetic research inform a wealth of new material, including a new chapter on sex differences in patterns of life history development; expanded coverage of genetic research (e.g. DNA finger printing to determine paternity as related to male-male competition in primates); fatherhood in humans; cross-cultural patterns of sex differences in choosing and competing for mates; and genetic, hormonal, and socio-cultural influences on the expression of sex differences. Finally, through his motivation to control framework (introduced in the first edition and expanded in The Origin of Mind, 2005), Geary presents a theoretical bridge linking parenting, mate choices, and competition, with children's development and sex differences in brain and cognition. The result is an even better book than the original—a lively and nuanced application of Darwin's insight to help explain our heritage and our place in the natural world.

Bio: Fay Weldon was born in England in 1933. Her father was a doctor and her mother a novelist who wrote under the pen name "Pearl Bellaris." Her parents separated when Weldon was five years old, and she moved with her mother and sister to New Zealand. Weldon returned to the United Kingdom to pursue a degree in psychology and economics at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Weldon was briefly married to an older man, a union which produced one son. She worked in the advertising industry to support herself and her son, and was remarried in 1962.
After a mid-life crisis, Weldon underwent psychotherapy, an experience she credits with giving her the courage to quit her job in advertising and become a writer. She wrote over fifty plays for radio, television and theater before publishing her first novel, The Fat Woman's Joke, in 1967. Since then, she has written short story collections, television scripts, magazine and newspaper articles and over twenty novels. The announcement of her upcoming novel, The Bulgari Connection, commissioned by the Italian jeweler Bulgari, recently caused a stir as many speculated it was a possible harbinger of a new form of commercial product placement.

Part of it is the unrealized loss on the swap on the Secured credit facility. Unless interest rates move I don't see it turning positive in the near future. He could also be including the FX loss for the quarter as well.
If you look at the press release the 7.9m loss becomes non-gaap 7.8m in income when you add back:
1. The pricing adjustment on the unsettled concentrate for 5.7m
2. The 6.7m FX loss
3. The 3.3m unrealized loss on the credit facility
Management may be referring to these as the non cash items, but if the concentrate adjustment is from the change in metal prices from shipment out of Vancouver to receipt at the smelter in Japan it doesn't sound like non-cash to me. Maybe someone else has more insight on that item. (Actually I think this was one of the questions from the first analyst that had Rod quoting Coopers and Lybrand.)
It's curious that they added back the pricing adjustment in this quarter's non-gaap earnings but not Q1 which only backed out the FX.
If you look Quarter over quarter the 2 big changes that I can see is FX 5.2 gain Q1 vs 6.7 loss Q2 and the pricing adjustment which was 6.1m gain Q1 vs 9.6m loss Q2.
Operationally mining costs seem higher from the additional roll back of the benches which is in the mining plan as mentioned here already. Does anyone know how much longer this higher strip ratio is planned? I seem to recall it was for 6 months approx.
Hopefully with the August fixes to the grating, software and electrical system the operational issues are largely in the past.
