Our friend Zoe at Puck Huffers brought this up about the game: the game felt just like every other Tomas Vokoun/Penguins game. Didn't even feel like a Caps/Pens game. Pens outshot the Caps, 41-19. 41 to 19. Games like that happen in the NHL.
There's no reason to get bent out of shape about losing this game. It's the fifth game of the season. No one should start getting irrational till at least the 20-game mark. Plus, the Caps looked horrrrrrrrrible. Like, really bad. Their two goals in regulation came on a bizarre play by Mike Knuble and a lucky deflection. The Caps generated no offense at all. But it was the Tomas Vokoun Show. He made 39 saves while being peppered all night. Wonder what the Caps players will think when they see the tape of the laziest goaltending of all time on Neal's game-tying goal late in the third.
Speaking of Neal, we're setting the record straight. We jobbed him relentlessly last year because he simply refused to hit the net. Having Malkin on his line certainly helps this year, but having an elite center on your line doesn't mean your shots are all of a sudden more accurate. Neal wasn't hitting the net at all last season. And now he is. We've made peace with this 100%. All aboard the Neal Train. Keep chirpin' if you want to.
What we think of it? In all the games we've seen Asham play in a Pens uniform, he's never given a hint of anything that would be deemed dirty or classless. Jay Feeble went after Letang and probably didn't realize Asham was on the ice. All Feeble had to do was skate to his bench and goad Asham into some penalty. The refs were looking for something to call on the Pens, and the Caps would've gotten it. Instead, Feeble is a moron; he drops the gloves and dances with Arron Asham. HUGE MISTAKE. The Caps get an extra 2 minutes because Feeble roughed up Letang and knocked his helmet off. Asham's gestures after the K.O. have nothing to do with concussions. If Asham had done it after some blindside hit, this would be a completely different story. But Feeble GOT KNOCKED OUUUTTTTTTTTT. He knew the risks when he dropped the gloves. Asham apologized after the game, saying he was caught up in the moment and the gestures were classless. That apology hasn't stopped Asham from being our favorite player right now.
matt s., PowerMove6687, E-Skee, SK360, Nate K, Karl Alzner's mom, Dale Earnhardt,
What a jacket by 66. Three buttons? Impressive.
Malkin jumps on the ice, and everyone knows it. He gains the Caps zone and draws three Caps. He drops it to Sullivan, who dishes it over to Neal. Neal one-times it in. Last year, he fans on it or shoots it over the net. Watch the game tape.
The first time Ovechkin doesn't see Michalek in front him, the Caps get a scoring chance. Poor Ben Lovejoy. Beej stood tall to make a save.
Karl Alzner threw the puck over the glass, so the Pens got a PP. Maybe Karl Alzner was trying to hit @mdouglas830, who John Carlson called a mutant on Twitter after the game:
Caps ended the first by looking horrible, just like the rest of the period.
Brooks Laich sucks and takes a penalty by jobbing Malkin. Brooks Laich really sucks. Pens can't do anything on the PP. Maybe Laich thought Malkin needed a tired changed. Sucks.
Rest of the period was balls.

New Zealand: Find family in photos
A New Zealand library has just launched a database with more than 2,500 historical images, as well as cartoons, drawings, posters, watercolors and ephemera.
The photo below is of Manurewa's creamery, circa 1905 (CREDIT: Manurewa Historical Society).
South Auckland's Manukau Libraries Footprints Archive database is now accessible to researchers around the world, with images detailing everyday life from the 1870s-1990s, and covering a geographic area from Otahuhu down to Papakura and Franklin.
Users of the free database are expected to include everyone from professional historians, family history researchers and even school children.
The Manukau Research Library archives hold some 15,000 images, so the online database is just a sampling, according to research services manager Bruce Ringer.
Some - about 750 - come from a donated collection of 10,000 images from the South Auckland Courier and Manukau Courier newspaper archives (1963-1989). Also contributing have been local photographers, newspaper editors, regional libraries and historical societies.
Without the cooperation of a large number of people and organizations, many images would have been lost forever.
The online collection was selected to highlight people and community life rather than events, places or buildings. Search parameters include date, location, topic or keywords.
Difficult tasks included identifying the photos' dates and locations and describing the image.
The researchers looked for clothing, cars, buildings and activities for clues as to date and location. Some leave them stumped, such as:
...the set of glass negatives taken in Clevedon from 1907 to 1913.
"It's a fantastic set of photos with great clarity but we're not sure who the people are," Mr Ringer says.
"It certainly would be great if the public who see these images can provide further information."
The seven-year digitization project cost NZ$416,000.
Ringer wants to expand the online database and the library photo archives, as well as produce an illustrated regional history. He knows there are thousands of additional photos held by private individuals and organizations and he's hoping people will share those items.
Readers with roots in New Zealand should check out this resource.
Search for your ancestors:
- Tous ensemble en famille
- Very rare picture it would be. Picture clarity is really great. And it is good to see that these worthwhile photographs have been framed excellently.

ALLEGAN -- The city of Allegan may get a new downtown restaurant.
The announcement came as the Allegan City Council set a public hearing for 7:35 p.m. March 24 for three city-owned vacant parcels on Brady Street.
Prospective buyer Dan Wagner told the council Monday that he and his wife, Marcia, intend to build a high-end restaurant on the street.
According to the sales agreement, the buyer agrees to construct a building of at least 5,000 square feet that will seat at least 120 patrons. The restaurant should generate at least 10 new jobs and involve a minimum investment of $750,000. It must open by Sept. 30, 2009.
The cost of the land, which is along the boardwalk, is $1 per parcel.
The 10 new jobs would be good news for the city. The Michigan Economic Development Corp. gives a $19,800 credit for each new job. The credit would be applied to a loan the city received for building the boardwalk and parking lots several years ago.
Leaf-pickup policy changed
The council has adopted changes to its 2008 brush and leaf pickup policy.
The main change, according to Allegan Department of Public Works Director Aaron Haskins, is to the leaf pickup schedule, which now offers leaf pickup twice a month.
"We just do it one time a month" under the new schedule, Haskins said. "It'll be the first week of the month."
Haskins said he'll designate a drop-off site at the maintenance garage, 691 Airway Drive, where residents can leave bagged leaves and brush at any time.
Other business
The council gave permission to the Allegan Jaycees to use Jaycee Park for the annual Easter Extravaganza from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 22.
The council purchased a dump truck with a scraper and front hitch from Allied Truck Equipment, of Grand Rapids, for $23,839 for the Public Works Department. It replaces a 1989 vehicle.

Name: Frank Quartucci
College: Rutgers University
High school: Hamilton
Position: Offensive lineman
Height/weight: 6-4, 290 lbs
2009 stats: Three-year starter enrolled at Rutgers in January.
2009 honors: Second Team All-South Jersey
Kevin Maloney says: "Humble and polite off the field, Quartucci has a mean streak once he steps onto the field of play. An early enrolee at Rutgers, Quartucci should flourish with the extra preparation time at spring practice and the move from tackle to guard or center."
Luicci says: Another early enrollee who gets the benefit of spring practice. He's big, strong and quick – but played in one of the state's weakest leagues (Colonial Valley).

The Maui County Film Office is making it possible for residents' properties to have a starring role as a location for an upcoming movie or television production.
"Could your backyard double as a jungle in Vietnam? Is your grandmother's spooky old house the spitting image of the one from 'The Amityville Horror'? Do you have beautiful beachfront property that looks like . . . well, beautiful beachfront property?"
Those questions come from the film office's "casting call" for properties that could be used as silver-screen locations.
Residents interested in making their properties available may list them on the film office's website at www.filmmaui.com, then hit "Locations" and go to "Upload locations." There, residents may upload digital images of their properties and their contact information.
"Location scouts will be able to view the listing of the available film locations in Maui County from around the world," an announcement said. "If your property is chosen, you could collect location fees from movie and television productions."
"We promised that we would promote and stimulate the film industry here in Maui County and this is an important step," said Mayor Alan Arakawa. "This comprehensive database of crews, support services and locations is key, so let's show off the beauty and diversity of our islands by filling up our online library."
For more information, call Maui County Film Commissioner Harry Donenfeld at 270-8237.

welding schlage inside of mag well,made it almost
impossible to insert mag:( sent back to factory
seems ok now,but for a $1400 rifle,how did it escape the factory:confused:
IMHO,i'd spend my money on something else,not to mention availability of parts(thinking AR15 w\lottsa acc.)
just my $.02

Mad Dog had some choice words for Robinsons build quality:
He started on this side of the fence:

I looked at these very closely at the show this weekend.
To be blunt, brief, and to the point, I was wholly and totally impressed with the engineeering, overall quality, and attention to detail that this rifle embodied.
Fixed ejector too!!
They intimated that they are working on a .308 version that will use FAL mags, to be released in about a year.
I am going to get one of the .223 versions, and a couple of the .308s as soon as they hit.
Did I mention that I was impressed?
This is the first semiauto rifle I have seen that was not an FAL that really blew my skirts up. Big Time.
Order one, you will NOT be disappointed.

Sorry, Alex...
but you and your company have really and truly turned a lot of people against you by the simple expedient of calling your customers liars.
Realize that most if not all of your M96 rifles suck.
January 9, 2003, 03:51 PM
Mine's pretty neat. I found a new rifle for $1000. It's just more interesting than an AR (anyone want to buy mine?) It shoots well and is built to last.
January 9, 2003, 04:01 PM
Handled several at a local shop a few months ago. Good build quality, tough finish, well balanced. Especially the carbine version with the shortened forend, very pointable.
Robinson arms does have some; well, personnality issues lets call them.
Overall a nice design, I'd love to own one and give it a shake down-but at $1400 or so it's too rich for my blood for just a .223.
I bought a NIB DSA STG58 metric FAL for less than $1000. And it's in a real rifle caliber-.308.:D
rock jock
January 9, 2003, 05:48 PM
Never handled one, but Alex Robinson needs to show a little humility re: his weapons, especially when comparing them to an AR. The latter is a proven battle rifle; the M96 is not.
January 9, 2003, 06:21 PM
The can be pricey, but if you want something other than an AR you don't have many .223 choices. On the low end, AR-180bs, AK variants and Minis. Otherwise spend $2000 or more on the HKs, Augs and FNCs.
The 96 is a metal rifle that costs the same as the plastic, low cap HK SL8. It doesn't feel, sound or function like an AR, uses common mags and should not wear out. There aren't many choices and it's a decent one.
I know people love to quote high when they complain about something, but no one needs to pay $1400. $1000 to $1200 will fetch a new or near new gun. That's the same price as a DSA FAL made with new parts.
If the 94 ban lifts, this rifle will easily take a muzzle brake and folding stock as well.
January 10, 2003, 12:52 AM
Try asking the folks at M96.org (http://www.m96.org). Imho, you'd be better off with an AR15 or a Galil. With that said, I'm waiting for RobArm to make a belt fed version of the M96, prolly I'll buy one by then.
January 10, 2003, 04:51 PM
I checked out a couple Robinsons at the gunshow. They look like a Stoner 63 (IIRC) clone. Stamped and welded construction. One was set as a ~20" rifle, the other as a ~16" carbine. I would stick with my Colts from what I saw.
There are old AR180s also available that seem reasonably priced. The only down side is the proprietary mags.
January 10, 2003, 06:21 PM
Alex Robinson did not strike me as being a professional. Once he does, I might actually touch one of his rifles. Until then, my money is going to other companies.
January 10, 2003, 07:04 PM
I've heard things about Alex Robinson. He designed an excellent rifle, from all accounts, but he seems to be a little, er, rough around the edges.
If the AR-15 was made by one small company in Utah, it'd be a $1400 or so dollar rifle too. But it's made by like fifty companies, and was produced in huge quantities for decades.
Perhaps what I would do if I was in RobArm's place would be this: Sell the manufacturing rights of the rifle to a major manufacturer, and in the contract it'd be set up that I"d get a percentage of annual profits from the sale of my design. I'd also put a clause in there that my name has to be mentioned somewhere in the rifle's manual, description, etc. Sort of how directors put their name in films fifty times.
That way, the price would come down, sales would rise, and they'd really start to compete with AR-15s. And, I'd be raking in the cash.
But that's me. I care more about money than noteriety. That's why I'm going to law school! :D
January 11, 2003, 01:10 AM
Can't say I'm too impressed with the Robinson.
No rifle that costs that much money should have sharp, stamped-steel edges that wouldn't be tolerated on the most basic AK-clone.
Completely overshadows the design improvements which are considerable. A shame...but it's a work-in-progress at an extremely high price vs. its competition.
My impression is that this would be a fine rifle at a price in the $600-700 effective-retail range.
Otherwise...thanks, but no thanks.
January 11, 2003, 06:18 AM
not trying to be smart (wouldn't work anyway)
but I just wonder why "black" rifles always cost so much compared to really good hunting type rifles. Our local dealer has a Tikka .223 (new). Prolly capable of 1/2" accuracy, nice wood stock, extremely well made. $475
Black rifles made of stamped metal and plastic are twice that.

redneck2, you can mostly thank the government and its weird anti-gun laws, and, of course, the Mediahhh. The noise level over "assault rifles" and the perception that there is some need for serious preparedness for the day that the SHTF expanded the market. The black-gun folks have found out that they can charge ridiculous prices and folks will still buy them, so they charge ridiculous prices.
However, inflation plays a part. If you look at bolt-action rifles, those with the same quality of finish as those of thirty years back are now costing northwards of $600 to $800...

I have spoken with Alex Robinson at length on a few occasions and I found him to be very courtious and knowledgeable, but I do understand how people could be turned off by him if he's in bad form. He'd be far better off hiring some smooth guy to handle PR, while he applies his abilities in making and improving guns. I don't know much about his rifle except that it's expensive and looks very evil:) but I've heard people say it's the best thing since sliced bread and others say it's worse than English dentistry.
I'd like to get my hands it as well as a Sig 550, HK G36, AN-94, AK 107 and a few others and have myself an Aberdeen/Glockler test trial to see what they're all capable of.
That being said, I'm going to chill out for a while before I get a M96, if I do get one at all. The high price, lack of parts and accessories, and the liability of having only one manufacturer make it too risky for me. I'll probably get a Bushmaster or Rock River AR in the mean time.

Getting industry into shipshape
Week of May 28, 2001
GTMA reminded of trade
By Ron Copsey
SAVANNAH, GA While ocean-going container ships passed frequently by its hotel site, GTMA: The Association of Georgias Textile, Carpet and Consumer Products Manufacturers (GTMA) this month conducted its 101st annual meeting in this port city.
The meeting took place at The Westin Savannah Harbor Resort, a hotel completed just 14 months ago. It is located on Hutchinson Island, created by a split in the Savannah River. The hotel is on the river front and faces downtown Savannah. The parade of overseas shipping in front of the hotel, perhaps, was a reminder to GTMA members of the influence of international trade on domestic textile products.
More than 200 industry executives and their guests attended the three-day event. In addition to several nationally known speakers, the conference included the 58th annual meeting of GTMAs affiliate, The Textile Education Foundation (TEF).
GTMA Chairman Frank Andrusko, president and CEO of American Fibers and Yarns, opened the first business session with the chairmans annual address. He reiterated earlier published reports about the industrys need to change now, not some time in the future.
He selected the meeting theme The Future is Now to reinforce the idea that action must be taken quickly for companies to not only survive but prepare for year 2005, when textile trade quotas will disappear.
What has and will continue to distinguish the U.S. textile industry are three things: quality; innovation; and productivity, but that is not enough you must find niche markets and not try to be all things to all people, he said.
He predicted China will enter the World Trade Organization (WTO), but that U.S. textile companies can compete with the Far East by developing, through electronic commerce, much faster deliveries.
Michael Colopy, president of the International Commerce Consultants of Falls Church, VA, delivered the keynote address during the first business session. As a nationally-known authority on China, Colopy indicated that Chinas 5,000 year culture has strong continuity and that present-day China has an obsession with unification.
However, Colopy said China has many minority groups and there are even those who oppose Chinas entry into the WTO because they see it as colonial exploitation.
There is no strong desire in China to be democratic like us, but they do wish to prevent chaos, violence and disruption, Colopy said. Pressures to pull China apart come from within the country which includes some dissents within the military.
He indicated that Japan and other Far East countries have invested heavily in China in order to take advantage of its low-cost sourcing opportunities. However, Colopy reported that there is a high rate of piracy in the South China Sea. Container ships just disappear, he said.
Colopy said that China is very technology savvy and it is adding computers rapidly. Ten years from now, China will have more computers than the United States, he said. The country with the largest population on earth is changing fast.
He also said that only 8 percent of Chinas population lives below the 8,000 foot level, a reflection of the mountainous terrain of the country.

Ga. Techs Cook to step aside
ATLANTA After serving 14 years as chair of Georgia Techs School of Textile and Fiber Engineering, Dr. Fred L. Cook announced plans to step aside and return to full-time teaching.
Cook, who said the timing is right for new leadership, will continue chairing the school until a successor is named.
Fourteen years is a long time to hold a single administrative job in academia, he said. With the school currently undergoing a long-range planning process to re-engineer the unit as to degrees, missions, etc., the timing is right to bring new leadership and energies to the task.
Cook made it known to College of Engineering Dean Jean Lou Chameau and faculty a few years ago that he would like to step aside when the Georgia Tech Capital Campaign concluded, the school said.
With Cook at the helm, the school raised $10.1 million during the campaign, which concluded during a campus-wide celebration April 20.
Under Freds leadership, the School of Textile and Fiber Engineering has emerged as the nations leading institution in educating first-class engineers for the textile industrial complex, Chameau said. Freds ability to recruit strong faculty members played a major role in this success.
Jobs to be lost as PCCA boosts denim production
LUBBOCK, TX Plains Cotton Cooperative Association (PCCA) announced that it will significantly increase its presence in the U.S. denim market by boosting production capacity 30 percent, effective early July, to better serve current and future denim customers.
The expansion will be accomplished by adding jobs at the cooperatives American Cotton Growers (ACG) denim mill at Littlefield, TX, and converting all production to denim at its Mission Valley Fabrics (MVF) mill in New Braunfels, TX.
The conversion, however, will cost PCCA 370 jobs, or about 60 percent of its work force in New Braunfels and at its Mission Valley sales offices.
The resulting capacity will be about 52 million linear yards of denim annually, or about 10 percent of U.S. denim manufacturing capacity.
Celanese to lay off 500
FRANKFURT, GERMANY German chemicals company Celanese AG made it official on May 15, announcing that it would slash 445 jobs at an acetate filament production facility and a truck terminal in Rock Hill, SC.
The company originally announced the cuts in December 1999, but re-evaluated the decision in October. After the study, Celanese said it would proceed with its earlier plans and consolidate filament production in Rock Hill with its Narrows, VA, plant, where the company said it will invest in state-of-the art technology. The Rock Hill plant will continue to manufacture acetate flake and employ about 250 people, Celanese said.
The company said it will eliminate about 55 more jobs company-wide, representing a total work force reduction of 3.8 percent.
Cone Mills to trim 14% of work force
GREENSBORO, NC Denim maker Cone Mills said May 16 that it will cut 575 jobs, mostly in North Carolina, in its continuing battle to overcome low-cost Asian imports and return to sustained profitability.
The move, part of what it calls its Reinvention Plan, comes after the company lost $2.9 million in the first quarter and follows a 40 percent work force reduction in 1999.
The majority of the cuts will come in Rutherford County, where 392 people at four plants will be pink-slipped within three months. The ax will fall on 132 here, including 60 at the corporate level, while the balance of layoffs will come from South Carolina plants in the companys Decorative Fabrics Group and sales and marketing positions throughout the U.S.
When the dust settles, the manufacturer will employ about 1,300 people. The latest reductions represent about 14 percent of Cones current work force.
Dyersburg cuts 1,000 NC jobs
CHARLOTTE, NC Citing general economic trends and increased competition from abroad, Dyersburg Corporation announced May 16 that it is closing North Carolina plants in Lumberton and Elizabethtown, eliminating about 1,000 jobs.
The changes took effect immediately, said the maker of circular knit fleece, jersey and stretch knit fabrics. Dyersburg said it will consolidate its textile manufacturing operations to two facilities. All knitting operations will be merged into its Clinton, NC, plant, while its dyeing and finishing operations will be moved to Dyersburg, TN. The company also said it intends to sell its stretch division, United Knitting.
Texas Tech to be first in U.S. to house Fehrer needle loom
GREENVILLE, SC Batson Yarn and Fabrics Machinery Group reported the recent sale of a Fehrer H1 Technology Needlepunch Loom, fed by William Tatham carding and cross lapping machinery, to Texas Tech University of Lubbock, TX.
This equipment is to be used in a project led and developed by Dr. Seshadri Ramkumar of the International Textile Center at Texas Tech and sponsored by the Department of Defense, to develop protective fabrics. The Nonwoven Laboratory at the International Textile Center will be the first facility in the U.S. to house the state-of-art H1 Technology needle loom.
According to Fehrer, the principle of the H1 technology is the idea that superior web properties can be obtained by oblique angled needle penetration. This is achieved by means of an asymmetrically curved needling zone and straight needle movement.

Dissecting Design
Hello Daisies! Did you have fun at the crop? I know I thoroughly enjoyed the time I got to play and chat with everyone.
Emily here with a little dissection for you today, I'm hoping that with a little bit of break down, I can encourage you to play along with my challenge from this weekend's crop!
First off, I printed a large black and white photo of my son playing basketball. Part of my challenge was to silhouette a photo. This might frighten you, take you back to the 90's when silhouetting was big (and the reason I quit scrapbooking back then, I couldn't bear to cut up a precious photo. Now with digital prints, I don't worry about it.), but here are some tips that should help allay fears.
- The best kind of photo for silhouetting is a front-on, full to 3/4 body shot. Head shots are great too, if you can get the whole head and shoulders in the picture.
- Go big! Not having the bounding box of a traditional photo, going big allows your photo to stand out.
- Sit your photo on a shelf of some sort. Floating in the middle of the page DOES.NOT.WORK.
My shelf was the bottom of the page. Once I had my photo silhouetted, I started clustering some elements around it. Don't be afraid to go over and under your photo. It adds a lot of dimension. And don't be afraid to stitch through your photo, again with digital files it's easy to reprint if you don't like the look.
My next addition was the large "BE YOU" text. Don't be turned off by pink on a boy's page, and don't worry about not being able to see the entire letter. As soon as I added that strip, this layout started looking like an ad. It also grounded the photo. I hadn't attached my photo or cluster yet, so I took those off an stitched down the strip of text.
The title work was what took me the longest. I tend to like long titles, if you have to move them around, that's a lot of letters to move. I originally had the title in two rows, but it just didn't look right, so I snugged it up against my son's left arm and turned two lines into three.
I added my subtitle, "shooting hoops," and decided I wanted more turquoise to balance that out. I didn't have any turquoise embellishments or paper, so I used the border on the sheet of Jillibean Soup stickers, the place where the company puts their logo and product name or information. You'll notice both stars are partially hidden behind the photo. It's because I couldn't get a full star w/o some text in it. It worked perfectly. AND the stars were adhesive, just like the alphabet! Use what you have, be creative!
Next I added my splats of paint. Another part of my challenge was to add these. I don't naturally gravitate toward paint on a layout, but this month I really tried to use it in a way consistent with my simple graphic style. I decided to use white on white, so the paint element wouldn't overwhelm my design. I watered down the paint, loaded my brush, and held it over the places I wanted paint. With a little encouragement, I was able to get paint in the appropriate spots. It took about 3 hours to dry, but I like how it looks.
My final step on the layout was to add my journaling. There were a number of places I could have done this, but it seemed to balance with the large black title best if I kept the journaling snugged up to my son's left side again.
I honestly had a blast putting this layout together. I've had a serious mojo block for a number of months, but I think stepping out of my ordinary method–silhouetting a photo instead of using a traditional rectangular image–really helped jump start my creativity. Using paint, something I don't usually do, also shook things up and I ended up using paint on every project I did this month!
I know for some of you, some of these things can be scary, but I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and try this challenge. It may be just the thing you need!

To the Editor: The rationale for the urine culture that is included as part of the correct response to the patient with PUBS is unclear.1 Because the patient had a chronic indwelling urinary catheter, bacteriuria is predictably present regardless of the urine's appearance or odor, which makes a positive culture highly nonspecific and therefore of little diagnostic value. The utility of defining the identity and susceptibility profile of whatever urine organisms might be present is low unless antimicrobial therapy is to be given. However, antimicrobial therapy should not be given in this case because PUBS (like all asymptomatic bacteriuria except during pregnancy and prior to invasive urological procedures)2 apparently is benign and antimicrobial therapy is not. This patient's physician exhibited commendable restraint in not responding to the patient's positive urine culture with antimicrobial therapy. But why even risk the temptation to treat? Better not to do the culture in the first place.

Starring in USA Network's The Starter Wife won't be the only joint project for David Alan Basche and Alysia Reiner. The couple is also expecting their first child together this winter, their rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
Reiner, who starred in 2007's miniseries The Starter Wife, will be reprising her role on the network series this fall. Basche, also a regular cast member on NBC's Lipstick Jungle, will be joining the cast opposite Debra Messing as her character's ex-husband, Kenny Kagan.
Basche and Reiner first met during a summer theater program in Vermont several years ago. "The script said fall in love," says Bashe. "You don't argue with Shakespeare!"

Deadline Now: U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur
Friday, November 23, 2012 at 8:30 p.m.
Fresh from her decisive re-election to Congress, Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio's 9th) won't have much time to celebrate. Washington is fast-approaching the so-called "fiscal cliff." We still have a deeply divided government. Is compromise possible? Where does Toledo's Congresswoman think the economy is headed?
Here are Jack Lessenberry's Final Thoughts for this edition of "Deadline Now:"
Elections do have meaning in this country. On Election Day this year, a man emailed me to say that it would soon be clear that voters were rejecting everything President Obama stood for.
I didn't hear from him again for more than a week, when he told me that The Blade should be aware that neither party has a mandate.
Well, I disagree.
When all the absentee ballots are counted, President Obama will have won by a margin of probably more than four million votes. He is the first Democratic President since FDR to win a majority of the popular vote two elections in a row.
Democrats also increased their majority in the U.S. Senate, something I would have thought impossible, and gained seven seats in the House. In fact, Democratic House candidates got more votes than Republicans.
Thanks to the way districts are drawn, however, Republicans ended up with more seats. So I think it is clear that voters rejected the Republican insistence on no new taxes and revenues. By and large, the election returns and exit polls indicate they want the rich to pay a little more. But they also want deals to get done and the system to be fixed, and I think any party which isn't willing to compromise risks being punished harshly at the polls two years from now.
If we are going to avoid going over the cliff and Congress can again be made to work the way it should, I think it is going to be because of members like Marcy Kaptur. She has been there now thirty years. She knows how Congress works; she knows how legislation is made. She has friends in both parties.
Congresswoman Kaptur, like Michigan's John Dingell, is unlikely to ever run for governor or senator; she has had chances to do so, and decided to stay with her district. She is also highly unlikely to be defeated, at least not in the next decade.
If some of the show horses on Capitol Hill are smart, I think they'll look to folks like Ms. Kaptur and her equivalents on the GOP side to get the job done. We're unlikely to run out of crises anytime soon, and putting the fiscal cliff behind us would be a good place to start.

I've been pretty depressed lately, as in the last two weeks, and nothing's changed in my life. So, I suspect diet.
I recently upped my carb intake, from around 60-70g a day to 100-120g most days so I could resume Crossfit and not crash. Everything was going great, until I started eating white rice. Then I noticed I was eating more fruit. Then, craving actual sugar. My sugary-ricey habit has become daily now, and I'm anxious, angry, uninspired, and feeling generally hopeless.
So, my question is, do you have any starchy foods that cause depression for you? Any truly feel-good serotonin- boosting carbs in your life?
I'm going to ditch all fruit and stick with potatoes (those are great for me, especially white ones,) wild rice, and starchy tubers for my carbs. And really try to bring the daily carb count down to <100g, then see how I feel.
Any other ideas are appreciated. :D

The following is a letter to the editor that was sent to the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Tracy Hall, Kalamazoo
I have known Kevin Wordelman for over 13 years. Kevin is a leader and a doer. He is a compassionate, dedicated, and hardworking individual. Most importantly, he is intelligent and has a sound understanding of the issues facing Kalamazoo.
I have been in a lot of meetings with Kevin. He asks the tough questions, and just as vital, he listens to what others have to say. In a time when intergovernmental cooperation is needed most, Kevin has the ability to work with others to get the best results for Kalamazoo. Additionally, with several new county commissioners being elected this November, we need someone with Kevin's leadership capacity to step in on day one.
Kevin embodies the values he learned long ago as an employee at the YMCA: honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility. If elected I know Kevin will bring these values with him.

Business news from across the nation and from around the world
Atlantic City casino revenue down 12.5 percent
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Atlantic City's casinos took in 12.5 percent less from gamblers in February than they did a year ago.
Figures released Monday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement show the city's 12 casinos took in $212.3 million.
The decline was helped by the fact that 2012 was a leap year in which February had 29 days, compared with the usual 28 this year.
Revel, the city's newest casino which will file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition this month, saw revenue rise to $9 million, up from $7.9 million in January.
February is traditionally one of the slowest months of the year in Atlantic City.
The state is hoping its legalization of Internet gambling, which could take effect by the end of this year, will provide new revenue and end the decline.
Icahn signs confidentiality agreement with Dell
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who is fighting Dell Inc. founder Michael Dell's plan to take the struggling company private, has entered a confidentiality agreement that would give him access to the computer maker's financial records.
Michael Dell, who is also Dell's CEO, is planning a $24.4 billion buyout that would make the Round Rock, Texas, company a privately owned business. But Icahn and other investors say the price of $13.65 per share is too low.
Icahn's company, Icahn Enterprises, has said it holds a substantial stake in the company.
Recommendation on N.Y. drilling expected in weeks
ALBANY, N.Y. -- New York's health commissioner says he plans a recommendation to Gov. Andrew Cuomo "in weeks" on whether the state should approve hydraulic fracturing.
Health Commissioner Nirav Shah also said he met with researchers from the Environmental Protection Agency and Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania within the past two weeks.
Preliminary results of the key Geisinger study are expected within a year. Some observers had raised concerns that waiting for results could delay a decision on whether to allow fracking in New York state.
Cash-strapped Greece to sell government buildings
ATHENS, Greece -- Greece's cash-strapped government detailed Monday its plans to sell 28 state-owned buildings on long-term lease, including tax offices, ministry buildings and the main police headquarters in Athens.
A government privatization fund said it hoped to make $39 million annually from the lease agreements lasting 20-25 years. Included on the list of buildings for sale are the main properties used by the ministries of justice, education and culture, 12 tax offices and the greater Athens police headquarters.
U.S. probes Sanofi over blockbuster drug Plavix
PARIS -- The U.S. Justice Department is investigating drug maker Sanofi's disclosures to the Food and Drug Administration about different responses to its blockbuster blood thinner Plavix.
The French company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission last week that it learned in June about the investigation.
It only said the investigation centered on "the variability of response to Plavix." The company did not immediately respond to requests to give more details on the investigation.
In 2010, the FDA added a black box -- its strongest form of warning -- to the label for Plavix. At the time, the watchdog said certain patients with a genetic variation cannot metabolize the drug, putting them at increased risk for heart attack and stroke.
Before it got U.S. generic competition in May 2012, Plavix was the No. 2 drug in the world by revenue, with annual sales of around $9 billion in 2011.
Mexico moves against TV, telephone tycoons
MEXICO CITY -- President Enrique Pena Nieto is proposing reforms aimed at bringing greater competition to Mexico's highly concentrated telecoms sector.
The reforms aim to lift some limits on foreign investment and open up concessions for two new national television networks. Current rules have allowed the world's richest man and the largest Spanish-language media empire to dominate Mexico's telephone and television markets.
The reforms announced Monday would form a powerful independent regulatory commission along the lines of the United States' Federal Communications Commission. They also would require networks to provide programming free to most cable operators.

What is in this article?:
- Soybean leaders meet with Asian customers
- Amino acids important
• The levels of protein and oil in soybeans determine how much soybean meal can be made and how much soybean oil can be extracted from a bushel of soybeans, so protein and oil has a direct impact on the value of soybeans when they are processed.
More About:
Amino acids important
"Amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, are important because they are fundamentally what livestock feeders are buying when they purchase soybean meal; most livestock rations are balanced on the basis of amino acids, not protein," Kemper said. "Fatty acids levels help determine the quality of the oil that is extracted from soybeans and what type of processing might be necessary to make the final consumer product."
U.S. soy exports had a total value of more than $21 billion for the 2009-10 marketing year ending August 31, 2010. The 1.9 billion bushel equivalents of soybeans, soy meal and soy oil exported during the marketing year set a record for the fourth consecutive year. Whole soybean exports for the year were 1.45 billion bushels, up from the 08-09 total of 1.24 billion bushels. About 59 percent of U.S. soybean production was exported, compared to 55 percent last year.
China was the top customer for U.S. soybeans, importing 825 million bushels in the 09-10 marketing year. That was up from 686 million bushels in 08-09. It is estimated that China imported a full one-fourth (25 percent) of the 2009 U.S. soybean crop. Korea imported 25 million bushels in the 09-10 marketing year. That was up from 13 million bushels in 08-09.
"The Crop Quality report is just one of many ways that U.S. soybean farmers develop long-term relationships with our export customers in Asia," Kemper said. "Quality and reliability are important factors in building customer preference for buying U.S. soybeans and soybean products."
ASA Vice-President Steve Wellman, a soybean producer from Syracuse, Neb., along with representatives from ASA-IM, USB and USSEC, is also participating in soybean quality conferences with U.S. soy customers in Japan and Taiwan.
The activities of USSEC to expand international markets for U.S. soybeans and products are made possible through ASA's investment of cost-share funding provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service, support from cooperating industry, and by producer checkoff dollars invested by USB and various State Soybean Councils.

A Phoenixville doctor has been charged with federal tax fraud for allegedly pocketing millions he earned from online prescription sales but never reported as income.
In an indictment unsealed Thursday, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia said Elias Karkalas earned about $2.5 million from prescriptions to patients he never met or examined.
Karkalas, 64, a primary-care doctor, operates Upper Merion Family Practice in King of Prussia. No attorney was listed for his case, and calls to his practice were not returned Thursday. He was arrested Wednesday, prosecutors said.

Pistorius: Thought lover an intruder in shooting
PRETORIA, South Africa -- Oscar Pistorius wept Tuesday as his defense lawyer read the athlete's account of how he shot his girlfriend to death on Valentine's Day, claiming he had mistaken her for an intruder.
Prosecutors, however, told a packed courtroom that the double-amputee known as the Blade Runner intentionally and mercilessly shot and killed 29-year-old Reeva Steenkamp as she cowered inside a locked bathroom.
Pistorius told the Pretoria Magistrate's Court at a bail hearing he felt vulnerable in the presence of an intruder inside the bathroom because he did not have his prosthetic legs on, and fired into the bathroom door.
The Valentine's Day shooting in Pistorius' home in Pretoria shocked South Africans and many around the world who idolized him for overcoming adversity to become a sports champion, competing in the London Olympics in 2012 in track besides being a Paralympian.
Steenkamp was a model and law graduate who made her debut on a South African reality TV program that was broadcast on Saturday, two days after her death.
In a major point of contention that emerged during Tuesday's bail hearing, prosecutor Gerrie Nel said Pistorius took the time to put on his prostheses, walked seven yards from the bed to the enclosed toilet inside his bathroom and only then opened fire. Three of the bullets hit Steenkamp of the four that were fired into the door, Nel said.
Pistorius said in his sworn statement that after opening fire, he realized that Steenkamp was not in his bed.
"It filled me with horror and fear," Pistorius said. The 26-year-old Olympian said he put on his prosthetic legs and tried to kick down the door before finally bashing it in with a cricket bat. Inside, he said he found Steenkamp, slumped over. He said he lifted her bloodied body into his arms and tried to carry her downstairs to seek medical help.
But by then, it was too late.
"She died in my arms," the athlete said.
Nel charged Pistorius with premeditated murder and said the athlete opened fire after the couple engaged in a shouting match and she fled to the bathroom.

Crowley Police make narcotics arrests
CROWLEY – Crowley Police Narcotics continues to fight the war on drugs as two more distributors of illegal narcotics have been taken off the streets Crowley.
Chief K.P. Gibson states, " We are seeing a variety of narcotics flowing through our city. Our staff is dedicated to this fight and we will continue the efforts".
The first incident occurred on Standard Mill Street within the city of Crowley. Tyson Lamon Winbush, 22 of Crowley, was arrested after he was discovered to be in possession of 18 Ecstasy pills. He has been booked into the Acadia Parish Jail for Possession with the Intent to Distribute Ecstasy. His bond has been set at $30,000.
In an unrelated investigation, narcotics agents arrested 19-year-old Darius Javonita Jennings of Crowley. During an investigation, Jennings was stopped for traffic violations. Agents then utilized a Crowley Police K-9, who alerted on the vehicle, indicating the detection of an illegal substance. Once agents searched the vehicle driven by Jennings, ½ of an ounce of Cocaine was recovered. "This product was prepared for distribution, as individual baggies we packaged at the time of arrest" stated Chief Gibson. Jennings was booked into the Acadia Parish Jail, pending bond.
The Crowley Police Department Narcotics Division is partially funded via grants provided through the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement.

If two galaxies collide, what is the chance of the stars colliding?
chances are they would not collide
variable stars & how they extend the distance ladder
a variable star is a star thats luminosity changes over a short period of time. by measuring the time it takes to pulsate we can determine the distance
Why are spiral arms so bright?
Because that is where star formation occurs and the young stars are very bright.
Tully-Fisher relation & how it extends the distance ladder
based on redshift and blueshift in the arms of the spiral galaxies, you can judge the luminosity and therefore the distance
The four characteristics of life
grow by eating, ability to react to changes in environment, reproduce & pass on genetic material to next generation, capacity for genetic change - evolution
assumed property of the universe such that the number of galaxies in an imaginary large cube of the universe is the same no matter where in the universe the cube is placed
Huble's Law (V=Ho d)
rate at which a galaxy recedes is directly proportional to its distance from us
Gravitational Lensing
light from quasar bending around an object in front of it and making it appear as if there is 2 Quasars
spiral galaxy formation
gas & dust clouds & stars combine, formation is slow, fast rotation causes gas clouds to flatten
synchroton radiation
comes from emission from black hole, because of accretion disc spiraling toward black hole

Baton Rouge -- The feel-good story of LSU spring football is over, at least for now.
Tigers Coach Les Miles told female kicking hopeful Mo Isom that she didn't make the cut as a kickoff specialist, but he invited her to try again as a placekicker when the teams report for fall practice in August.
Isom, LSU's 2011 homecoming queen and a four-year soccer letterman, tried out for a spot on the team last week and gained national attention in the process, landing interviews on The Today Show and CNN.
"We reviewed her skill, the things she can do and do well," Miles said at his post-practice press briefing. "We kind of felt like there's four guys on the team right now that would be ahead of anybody that tried out the other day, including Mo. I told her that today.
"She's going to go back and concentrate on extra points and field goals. She did not want to take that she couldn't make the team. She said, ÔDo I get another opportunity if I get a lot better?' I said ÔSure.' "
Isom could not be reached for comment, but tweeted that she looks forward to her next opportunity.
"Wonderful meeting with coach Miles," she posted on her Twitter account Tuesday afternoon. "Received great constructive feedback. Will continue working my hardest with the team through spring and summer."
Isom, who is 6 feet 1 and 190 pounds, played goalkeeper for LSU and once scored a goal on a 90-yard free kick. But kicking wasn't the issue, tackling was, Miles said.
Both LSU kickers return, placekicker Drew Alleman and kickoff specialist James Hairston, and there are others trying out who have trained far longer in football.
"She's a great person, but there's some things she can't do, and she knows it," he said. "We go to kicking off into the corner, we count on our kicker making some tackles, and it's just not something I'm comfortable she's ready to do. It's one of those spots you really can't put a person that cannot tackle."
Miles said by no means were her efforts a publicity stunt, and that Isom reminded him of his daughter, Kathryn "Smacker" Miles, who attends a high school in Florida where she can concentrate on competitive swimming.
"Very much (reminds me of Smacker)," Miles said. "She understands competition, doesn't like to be denied and wants to contribute. I don't think she'd want to be on this team if she couldn't contribute."It's too painful to be (just for) publicity. Who in the heck would go through this for publicity? Not any body I know and not somebody who had a great career athletically. She has already accomplished a tremendous amount in her career to be trivialized, and to be added to a team unduly would be wrong.
SCRIMMAGES: Miles said the first of three scrimmages will take place Saturday and will be in excess of 100 plays. He said Zach Mettenberger is the first team quarterback, and Stepehn Rivers and Jerrard Randall will share second-team snaps.
"We'll secure a couple of third down situations," Miles said. "It will be mostly first down and let them play."
DWORACZYK BACK: Senior offensive lineman Josh Dworaczyk donned a white jersey and was full go, working at tackle and guard. He was granted a sixth year of eligibility because of a season-ending knee injury last August, which required his second knee surgery.
"He's seven months in, we're comfortable letting him go," Miles said. "He's had two knees (injuries). Both knees responded well, and today was kind of Ôlet it go and see what we've got.' Saturday will be more of the same."
LEADING THE WAY: Defensive Bennie Logan lost his running mate when Michael Brockers declared for the NFL draft, but now Logan is the experienced hand and Miles said he's picking up on the leadership role.
"Bennie has always been aquiet leader, handled his own business well," Miles said. "The team is looking forward to allowing his to lead."
STANDSTILL: LSU is back to opening practice with the Wildcat drill and there was at least one interesting matchup. Wide receiver Odell Beckham looked overmatched against All American cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, but it was a draw at best.
MISSING: Not participating in the postion of practice open to the media were running back Terrence Magee, defensive tackle Mickey Johnson and defensive end Chancey Aghayere.

Debt, Investment, and Product Market Competition
Matthew J. Clayton
University of Virginia - McIntire School of Commerce
December 1996
NYU Working Paper No. FIN-96-021
Recent empirical literature on the interaction between capital structure, investment, and product market decisions suggests that debt leads to lower investment expenditures and weaker product market competition. The theoretical papers in this literature addresses all three of these strategic decisions, however, they only examine at most two of these decisions simultaneously and hence have been unable to fully explain the empirical finding. This paper develops a model which examines all three decisions and shows that debt and investment can be strategic substitutes in a model where firms rationally take on debt. Furthermore it is demonstrated that when firms compete in prices in the product market, an increase in debt leads to lower investment and higher prices.

It's faster and easier to file the FAFSA electronically on the Internet. Students who apply using FAFSA-on-the-Web get results 7 to 14 days faster and make fewer mistakes than those who mail in the form.
The FSA ID -- a username and password -- has replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN and must be used to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education websites, including the FAFSA site, the student and parent loan site, the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and the TEACH Agreement to Serve (ATS) site.
Your FSA ID confirms your identity when you access your financial aid information and electronically sign Federal Student Aid documents. If you don't already have an FSA ID, you can create one when logging into any of the sites listed above. Read "How to Create an FSA ID" for additional information about switching from a PIN to an FSA ID or setting up an FSA ID for the first time.
By filing the FAFSA electronically, you have the advantage of catching common errors before you submit the application. Plus, the sooner you have a correct application on file, the sooner we can make an award to you.
By using both student and parent (if required) FSA IDs when applying, you avoid the delays of printing, signing and mailing the required signature page(s). You can access FAFSA-on-the-Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
After OSU receives your FAFSA information from the processor, you may receive a request for documents to verify information you reported. No offer of federal assistance can be made until the information is verified. The earlier you respond, the earlier you will receive notification of eligibility for financial aid.
You will log onto the Student Information System (SIS) to accept your award. To use this option go to http://prodosu.okstate.edu. Log in and under the Financial Aid section, select "Accept/Decline Awards." (New to OSU? Before accessing the SIS, you must first activate your O-Key account at www.okey.okstate.edu.)
Awards not accepted by the deadline may be cancelled.
If you receive aid from a non-university source, such as a scholarship program, you must immediately notify the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will notify you and OSU if you are awarded the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG).
If you are applying for tribal or vocational rehabilitation grants, you should contact that agency for details.

i am not a cow
i am not a cow
i am not a cow
scrolls down my screen, a cut & paste
job if i've ever seen one, but a point
made for mOO-ing
during the pledge of allegiance
the difference between freedom of speech
& the alphabet---as sung by Aretha Franklin
most days we start with a walk, rewinding
the tape, reminding him who he is & the need
not to make a fool of himself for attention---
this morning
damp & cold clings to us, like a cat stretching
its paws, as we cut between buildings
'i have detention again tomorrow.'
'why's that?' our footfalls click
on the sidewalk, off bricks
'This teacher she...' always
them first, someone else's fault & i don't doubt
they played a part but
'and you?' i let sit in the bowl of silence,
a centerpiece of plastic fruit, indigestible
at best, oft pondered as to purpose, a curse
we passed to this generation by not taking
(where's Gallagher---when you
need him?)
'i did this,' he screws his face up, waving
spastic hands in an apt caricature
& i nod,
not to laugh,
& know
better than to ask what his parents thought
students watch us out windows, intent
on things other than preachers in pulpits
to English or His-story
'ok, let's
focus on today,' and we break down
the basics of building kingdoms on beaches
as the breakers roll in
as the breakers roll in
as the breakers roll in
in ever crumbling cut&Paste statistics, reTurning
once more to class.
It is OpenLinkNight @ dVerse Poets, where we get all kinds of jiggy with poetry, so find your beat and dance to it...ok that might be scary, so just write a poem and bring it @ 3 pm EST.
