DETROIT - The number of babies being born across the U.S. is has been declining for years so diaper makers are forced to get creative. A recent USA Today article highlights efforts to boost sales since the baby boom decline.
Huggies rolled out one of the newest designer diapers on store shelves. It's a camouflaged diaper that's rolling out at Walmart stores nationwide. Stores will sell the diapers for the next three months. For every package of the special camo diapers sold, Huggies says it will donate one diaper to a military family in need. The vice president of Kimberly-Clark, which makes Huggies, Eric Seidel is quoted as saying Walmart asked Huggies for the camo diaper because camo was a popular pattern in other children's products.
This isn't Huggies first time designing a specialty diaper. Last year Huggies launched its jean-print diaper line. That line reportedly sold 60 million.
As USA Today reports, Pampers rolled out a floral print. Pampers is also planning roll out a new limited-edition argyle print for boys. And the eco-friendly diaper company gDiapers released a ruffle diaper for girls.
The designer diapers typically cost more and parents get fewer diapers in a packages.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Attorneys for Marissa Alexander are already making changes in the way they file a travel request. That comes on the same day the state attorney's office asked that her bond be hiked or revoked for making the request of another agency.
"From the defense standpoint, while you like to rely upon those who are watching your clients to make the decision that it's OK, this is probably one that they should have gone to the court for every step that she were to take," said defense attorney Gene Nichols, who's not affiliated with the case.
The state attorney's office is responding to claims from Alexander's attorneys that she had permission to leave her home. Prosecutors made a motion for Alexander's bond to be raised or revoked because that permission did not come from the court, which has the final say.
Alexanders attorneys say she got permission from the Jacksonville Sherriff's Office agency supervising her while on out bond. But the state attorney's office says it's not enough, and getting permission from the pretrial program was not a replacement for getting permission from the court.
The issue will be sorted out Friday here during Alexander's bond hearing, but her attorneys are already making changes, getting permission from the judge, not the pretrial program for Alexander to visit her attorney's office afterward.
Alexander has been out on bond since November.
"If I was representing Ms. Alexander, and the people who are responsible who had the ankle monitor on her said that she was permitted to go from here or there, then I would rely upon that because this is an arm of the Sheriff's Office. These are the people who are monitoring her," Nichols said.
In this case, the judge issued a specific order: Alexander stays home unless she has a medical emergency, court appearances or permission from the court.
Alexander's attorneys say a pretrial release supervisor approved visits to places like the bank, her former attorney's office, even the hair salon.
The state attorney's office says that doesn't negate the judges order, saying:
"The court's requirement that defendant be monitored by a pretrial services program was in addition to, not in lieu of a replacement for, the clear and specific restrictions on defendant's movements contained within the court's order."
The state attorneys office went on to say the counselor Alexander got "permission" from is not a circuit judge, but instead a civilian charged with ensuring Alexander complies with the rules of the pretrial services program.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, which employs Alexander's counselor, issued a statement, saying: "The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office will not be commenting on the home detention of Marissa Alexander. There is a hearing scheduled for this Friday. It would be inappropriate to comment in advance of that hearing; also, we are looking into the matter administratively to see if corrections personnel followed proper protocol."
"I'm sure what probably happened was Ms. Alexander was probably treated by CTC just like most everybody else who is on an ankle monitor, so that when a reasonable request comes in they will typically grant it," Nichols said.
Alexander's case is anything but typical. She's facing a second trial for firing a gun in the direction of her husband, after an appeals court threw out her conviction because of faulty jury instructions. The case has attracted national attention.
Nichols said with specific instructions from the judge, her attorneys have to cover all bases.
As for Friday's hearing, Nichols said everyone will leave clear on the judge's order.
"They will be reminded of that, that starting from here on out if she is to go anywhere outside of what the judge entered as his order, that she is going to have to get court permission and not permission from those who are monitoring her," Nichols said.
The state attorney's office said it believes Alexander's actions should not remain "unsanctioned."
Alexander and her attorneys will attend Friday's hearing.

The 7-34 Minnesota Timberwolves completed their brief homestand on Friday night against the 21-21 New Orleans Pelicans. Both teams reside at the bottom of their respective divisions but one is clearly still playing for something this season while the other continues to receive more bad news. Reports have surfaced that Ricky Rubio's ankle injury is worse than originally thought. That quickly took all of the steam out of Nikola Pekovic's return to action on Wednesday night. The Pelicans have been struggling with their own injury news of late with Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday missing time recently.
The two teams met early on this season in New Orleans, with the Pelicans undressing the Wolves to the tune of 139-91 – the worst loss in Wolves' franchise history.
Looking for a reason to celebrate Wolves' fans? The Wolves celebrated Crunch's birthday Friday night at the Target Center. So at least there's that for those in attendance.
Let's take a look at how Friday night's action went down at the Target Center. The Wolves opened up with a starting lineup of Mo Williams, Andrew Wiggins, Robbie Hummel, Thad Young, and Gorgui Dieng. The Pelicans countered with the following starting five: Tyreke Evans, Eric Gordon, ex-Pup Dante Cunningham, the aforementioned Davis, and Omer Asik.
The one Pup that I have consistently laid into this season (Thad) started off a house of fire, accounting for 7 of the Wolves first 11 points, which led to NOLA Coach Monty Williams to call a very quick timeout with his team down 11-1. While the Wolves continued to hustle and play relatively well coming out of the timeout, the shooting percentage came back to earth and the Pelicans were able to tie the game at 18, forcing Flip Saunders to burn the Wolves first timeout with just over three minutes left to play in the 1st Quarter.
With Wiggins and Pekovic a combined 1-8 in the opening quarter for the Wolves, the Pelicans took a 24-20 lead into the break. As time expired in the 1st, Chase Budinger drew a foul on a three pointer, only to see the referees swallow their whistles. It has been a rough enough season for Chase, he doesn't need any help from the zebras.
After taking a 32-29 lead in the 2nd Quarter on a beautiful post move from Gorgui Dieng, the Wolves turned the ball over on consecutive series and quickly gave up their lead. Concentrating on the positive for a moment, Dieng's offensive game continues to grow stronger as the weeks continue to pass by. If for no other reason, and I can't think of another one, Pekovic's injury has had at least one benefit for the Wolves and that is the improvement in Dieng's all around game (and likely his confidence).
At the half, the Wolves trailed 45-44. Halftime notes/stats:
- Thad Young with a team high 11 points on 5-8 shooting … but 0 rebounds
- Conversely, Dieng finished the half with 8 points and 7 rebounds
- The Wolves shot 44% from the floor in the 1st half, while the Pelicans shot 59%
- Pups only got to the free throw line six times in the half – as did the Pelicans – but only made two of their attempts
The 3rd Quarter seemed to slog along with some ugly basketball being played. Through the first four minutes of the quarter, the Wolves had one made basket and two free throws. After Dante Cunningham made two long range jump shots, Flip Saunders called a timeout to try to straighten the ship.
The Pelicans opened up a double digit lead but the Wolves were able to cut it back down to four. Nate Wolters scored as the clock was running down in the quarter, giving the Pelicans a 69-63 lead heading into the final frame.
There were several mini-runs for each team to start the 4th Quarter, with the Wolves trimming the Pelicans lead thanks to some strong offensive play from Chase Budinger, who scored all but two of his ten total points in the 4th. However, the Wolves could never get over the hump and fell to the Pelicans.
With about :40 seconds to go in the game, the Pelicans were inbounding the ball up by six. With a foul to give before going into the penalty, the Wolves scrambled to try to trap an opponent defensively. It didn't work but with under ten seconds on the shot clock, the Wolves then commit the foul. That resets the shot clock to 14 seconds and the Wolves then have to commit another foul before forcing the Pelicans to the line. In no way, shape or form was this a defensive strategy worth repeating. Ever. Either foul early and stretch the game as much as possible or play and hope they miss the shot.
The final score: New Orleans 92, Minnesota 84.
Game Notes:
- Happy birthday Crunch! You don't look a day over 26 …
- If the Wolves have any interest in winning games the rest of the way, a Pekovic-Dieng frontcourt is going to need to be used
- Mo Williams had a quiet double-double on Friday night, tallying 12 points and 10 assists
- In fact, the Wolves assisted on 27 of their 35 made baskets (77%)

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA unveiled a new budget-driven plan for the U.S. robotic exploration of Mars on Tuesday that calls for sending another rover there in 2020, Local 6 news partner Florida Today reports.
But the holy grail of solar system science – a mission to return Mars soil samples to Earth for extensive examination – appears to be off for at least a decade because of U.S. spending cuts.
Still, NASA officials said the Obama Administration remains committed to "a robust Mars exploration program."
The new multi-year Mars plan will ensure "America remains the world leader in the exploration of the Red Planet, while taking another significant step toward sending humans there in the 2030s."
The Obama Administration has directed NASA to develop new rockets and spacecraft for deep space missions by about 2020, send astronauts to an asteroid by 2025, and a human expedition to the vicinity of Mars in the 2030s.
But the president's proposed NASA budget for fiscal year 2013 would cut planetary science by 20 percent and robotic Mars exploration by 40 percent.
Planetary science funding would fall to $1.2 billion in 2013 from $1.5 billion in 2012. Further reductions would follow.
Money for robotic Mars exploration would drop from $587 million in 2012 to $360 million in 2013 and $187 million in 2015.
The outlook forced NASA to abandon joint U.S.-European Mars missions planned for the years 2016 and 2018.
NASA in 2009 agreed to ante up $1.4 billion for the missions. The European Space Agency's contribution was set at $1.2 billion.
Then in February, the U.S. reneged on its obligations. NASA pulled out of the project. In March, the Europeans partnered with the Russian Federal Space Agency. The Russians agreed to provide Proton rockets to launch the missions.
"There's no doubt that tough choices had to be made," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said at the time.
The new plan appears to restore at least minor U.S. participation in the 2016 and 2018 European Mars missions.
The U.S. will provide telecommunications radios for a methane-sniffing Martian orbiter that will launch on a Russian rocket in 2016.
Then the Russians, who joined the European program after the U.S. backed out, will launch a large rover equipped to search for signs of primitive life in 2018.
The U.S. will provide "a critical element of the premier astrobiology instrument" on the rover.
The new U.S. Mars plan also calls for:
• Continued operations of the Curiosity and Opportunity rovers now on Mars.
• The already scheduled launch of an American orbiter with methane-detection devices in 2013.
• An already selected stationary lander that will perform a seismic study of the Martian interior after its launch in 2016.
• A new rover, based on the architecture of the car-sized Curiosity, to be launched in 2020.
Getting to Mars is hard. Current rocketry limits opportunities to three-week windows every 26 months, when Earth and Mars align in a way that makes voyages possible.
The 2020 rover mission "fits within the current and projected Mars exploration budgets, builds on the exciting discoveries of Curiosity, and takes advantage of a favorable launch opportunity," said former astronaut John Grunsfeld, an astrophysicist who now is NASA's Associate Administrator for its Science Mission Directorate.
The payloads and science instruments to be carried to Mars by the 2020 rover still are up in the air.
NASA officials say the restructured Mars program plan will advance the science priorities of the National Research Council's 2011 Planetary Decadal Survey.

I also loved watching game shows in my youth. Has anyone mentioned Who, What Where?
I have long thought that daytime television says something about our culture. 30 years ago we all watched these shows because we wanted to watch winners and we rooted them on.
Unfortunately today it's just the opposite. We want to see losers which is why shows like Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, Dr Phil and Judge Judy do so well.
I think that's ashame.

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College holds first winter commencement
November 30th, 2012 | SMWC
For the first time in the College's 172-year history, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) graduates will turn their tassels and receive their degrees during the institution's first ever winter commencement ceremony. The ceremony will be held Saturday, December 15, 2012, at 1:15 p.m., in Cecilian Auditorium. During the ceremony, nearly 80 students from 10 states are expected to receive undergraduate and graduate degrees. The addition of the winter commencement is largely due to the increased number of graduates and their families at the spring commencement.
"It is very important for us to accommodate as many of the graduates' families and friends who want to share this milestone," said Dottie King, Ph.D., president of SMWC.
Additionally, students who complete their degrees in the fall won't have to wait until the May commencement. "In the past, many students who completed their graduation requirements in December have been hard-pressed to return to campus in May," explained Janet Clark, Ph.D., vice president of academic affairs. "This is a great opportunity to give our graduates more options to celebrate their achievement with friends and family."
Commencement Address: Jennie Mitchell, Ph.D.
Jennie Mitchell, Ph.D., professor of business at SMWC will deliver the commencement address. Mitchell earned her Ph.D. in curriculum, instruction and media technology from Indiana State University and holds advanced professional credentials as a Certified Public Accountant and a Certified Management Accountant.
In her 26th year at The Woods, Mitchell has contributed much to the legacy of the College through leadership. She delivered The Woods' first accounting course over the Internet in 1996. The course included weekly text-chat sessions, discussion boards and a shared white board, all over a 14.4 kb modem. She led the faculty team that established the Master of Leadership Development program, the Master of Education program, the 8-week Woods Online program and the quality review process for all online courses. Her learning objects have been used in several studies, demonstrating a 33 percent increase in student learning when compared to traditional learning from a textbook. She has authored numerous white papers, book chapters and various student resource projects for Pearson Publishing including Microsoft Excel student files and QuickBooks files.
Awarded more than a dozen grants, Mitchell most recently received funding from the Ball Venture Fund and Motorola Mobility. The Baccalaureate/Masters Leadership/Technology Grant from Ball Venture Fund enables SMWC to introduce a new 3+1 Leadership program that allows high-achieving students to earn an undergraduate degree and a Master of Leadership Development in just four years. The Mobile Museum Developers Grant from Motorola Mobility Empowerment provides an opportunity for students to create iPhone and Android apps and interactive content for the bee exhibit at the Terre Haute Children's Museum, as well as to the 280-member museum consortium.
Mitchell's dedication and passion for teaching has earned her several prestigious awards and recognition:
- All three of the SMWC Pomeroy Faculty Excellence Awards – for service, scholarship and teaching, the highest recognition for faculty,
- Desire2Learn Exemplary Award for Auditing,
- SMWC Alumnae Leadership Award,
- Named to Who's Who in Higher Education and
- Recipient of numerous awards for working with small businesses and not-for-profits.
She lives in Brazil, Ind., with her husband, Ken. They have two children, Diana Aselage, and Daniel Mitchell.

An Andean man talks to a police officer during a protest against Newmont Mining's Conga project in Peru's Cajamarca region. Thousands of opponents of the $5bn gold project circled a lake high in the Andes, vowing to stop the company from draining it to make way for Peru's most expensive mine. Lake Perol is one of several lakes that would be displaced to mine ore. Water from the lakes would be transferred to four reservoirs that the US company and its Peruvian partner, Buenaventura, are planning to build

My wife and I wanted some finger foods for the game, so I picked out a recipe from Planet BBQ, and she picked out two other recipes. We had appetizers from 3 different Nations.
I went with Steven's Tokyo-Style Grilled Chicken Dumplings from Planet Barbecue.
I uncovered my CG and gave it some loving this afternoon. First time I've uncovered it since May when I got the BGE. I figured it would be easier to keep the skewers from burning by using a heat shield on the CG. I let the germs cook off for a long while before I put the food on.
Gave it a few pulses with the food processor, as to not overwork the chicken and bacon...it needs to be coursely ground.
Placed the mixture in a freezer for a little while to set up, then placed the Dumplings on Bamboo Skewers...
Onto the CG with a heat shield...
The Egg Wash gives the mixture a nice crusty outer layer, yet the inside is nice, soft and juicy. The Scallions, Fresh Ginger and Spice Mixture gave these an awesome flavor too. Simple, but delicious!
My wife made some awesome Fried Ravioli too! These things are so good that they should be illegal. She used Giada De Laurentis' recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giad ... index.html
She also made an awesome 7 Layer Dip...

We have enough Appetizers to last us until next week, so this will be all the cooking we do today. Go Cocks!

This Works Dry Leg Oil.
1 Recommendation
organicglamazon's recommendation
Not only am I smitten with the very cool packaging, but this oil has so many accolades and beauty editor reviews that I figured I should take it seriously. Having used it? OMG ... usually oils leave your skin a little greasy and for that reason I'm not a big fan, but this line from Kathy Phillips, who is Vogue Beauty Director for the whole of Asia (the woman clearly knows what she's doing), is incredible. All of her products smell DIVINE with aromatherapy at the core of everything, but they're packed with skin bioactives that work overtime at a deep level to restore balance, calm and hydration. I want to bathe in it!

Well, that was about as wild as it gets. Not one for the archives in terms of how to play, or how to win. But, wow, was that a finish.
I am racking the rusty rolodex between my ears trying to remember a similar game, and I'm sure there was one. I thought a game in L.A. in 1993-94 was similar, but I went back and looked. In that one, Kelly Hrudey stopped Tony Amonte on a penalty shot (!!!!!) with 10.7 seconds left in overtime, and Mark Messier put in a Sergei Zubov rebound with 1.5 seconds left to win it.
1) Two thoughts on the game-winning goal with 00:00.1 left. One was, as the Rangers lost the puck, and the game seemed headed to OT, Brandon Dubinsky seemed to stop in the offensive zone. So he couldn't change, then he was able to make a good play in the offensive zone when Martin Biron moved the puck quickly up ice. The other was Ryan McDonagh, who has done this before, understood what was left on the clock and so he went in deep to make a strong play and allow Brad Richards to get the shot that went off Keith Yandle's skate and past Mike Smith before the clock expired.
2) How about Michael Del Zotto's pass to Marian Gaborik for the first goal, and the play Del Zotto made in the second period, leaping up to the crossbar to bat away a pop-up that had gotten behind Biron (who was fabulous again, BTW).
3) Finding a way, after two losses, in a game that wasn't great, can sure make a difference when they add them all up at the end. Maybe the Rangers avoided a losing streak. We'll see. And I don't think they were awful at all. They defended well. They were good early. They were physical.
4) Brad Richards sure scores some big goals, even if this one was a bit lucky. And he wasn't great in this game, especially in the faceoff circle, where he won 3 of 16.
5) Gaborik, who had 22 goals last year and has 17 already this year, got his 300th on a gift from Yandle. Reminded me of Michael Strahan's sack of Brett Favre for the record. Except it wasn't intentional. Gaborik was really good in the game.
6) Yikes, now the Rangers are without three of their top six defensemen with Steve Eminger suffering a separated shoulder last night.
7) I liked the way Mike Rupp played in his first game back from knee surgery. Rugged, came back from a nice cut above the eye, had a big scoring chance. I understand that his return probably means more bench time, if not another demotion, for Sean Avery, especially if Artem Anisimov returns Tuesday. But I'd want Avery and Rupp in the lineup against the Devils Tuesday, the Islanders Thursday, the Flyers Friday and the Islanders Monday.
8) On the downside, the guy who stayed in the lineup because Anisimov was sick, and whose place in the lineup kept Avery on the bench — Erik Christensen — cleanly lost the faceoff on the short-handed goal that changed the game in the last seconds of the first period. He did nothing. I don't get it.
9) Ruslan Fedotenko doesn't mess up much, but he took the penalty, then came out of the box, went to his knees in front and left a man wide open for a power-play dunk and the 2-1 lead. And he heard about that from John Tortorella before they went to the lockerroom.
10) Those few minutes while they reviewed the game-winning goal in the Toronto war room, that's going to make for some priceless bench audio on "24/7" on Wednesday.
11) Unrelated, but what do you suppose the fired Jacques Martin thinks of the Scott Gomez trade now?
12) So, if the same game happens after Jan. 1, and the video replay judge has Time Warner Cable, do the Rangers go to OT?
My Three Rangers Stars:
1) Marian Gaborik.
2) Michael Del Zotto.
3) Martin Biron.
AP photos, above.
UPDATE: OMG, how did I already forget about the McDonagh game-winning OT goal in Calgary this season — where he did the exact same thing; understood how much time was left and joined the play down low?
There were 0.5 seconds left in OT when he scored it, though they put more time on the clock afterwards. It was under two seconds left officially.

Vote For This Week's High School Athlete of the Week [2/28]
Congrats to Southern Regional's freshman hockey star, Ryan Rowland who took home last week's 97.3 ESPN High School Athlete of the Week honors — the first time a hockey player has won!
We have a new batch of local student-athletes this week who have proven themselves worthy.
You can vote for your pick, and hear the winner announced on the South Jersey Sports Report with Tyler Donohue Saturday morning beginning at 9:00.
Gina Lewis, Basketball, Holy Spirit – She drained a game-winning jump shot in the Cape-Atlantic League championship game. Lewis, a senior, scored 14 points and put the Lady Spartans in front with two seconds remaining to defeat reigning league champion Sacred Heart.

Sentient, lol with the hair. And more pictures of your yard please. Is that a cherry tree?
so bucolic...
Lillie, it's the front yard. The back is more crowded with plants/trees/bushes/flowers.
Pat, like speech and tool usage, I consider clearing of the scalp to be an evolutionary advancement of the species. That's why it's generally part of maturity. The less advanced species are cursed with fully covered scalps for life.
OUTSTANDING photo! And, I can see you have as much hair as I do.
Is that your garden?
I like it! So relaxing.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/3/2013 (1629 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
SAGKEENG FIRST NATION -- Treaty number, please.
Yes, a large coffee (double cream) goes for just $1.68 tax-free here with a treaty number, $1.88 without.
And, yes, this reporter was pleasantly surprised by the request for his treaty number despite his pink, bordering on blush-red pigment and bald pate.
"Put it in the paper that you were honoured that they asked you for a treaty number," said Sagkeeng band member Andrea Gerard, laughing over a cup of coffee as she sat at a table in what's being billed as possibly the biggest game-changer since the invention of the dream catcher -- a Tim Hortons in Sagkeeng First Nation.
People came from as far away as Hollow Water (an hour's drive) and Lac du Bonnet (a half-hour) for a coffee and Danish during a Thursday lunch hour. Alex and Marge Nyyssonen of Lac du Bonnet said it beats driving an hour to Selkirk. (Until now, there were only two Tim Hortons in all of eastern Manitoba -- in Steinbach and Selkirk.)
Customers will come from as far as Manigotagan and Bissett to the north. They will come from Pinawa. When the snow melts, cottagers will come from Victoria Beach, Albert Beach, Traverse Bay and Belair to the east, and from up and down the Winnipeg River to the south.
Bet on it, said Sagkeeng Chief Donovan Fontaine -- he has. The long-distance traffic will be in addition to the 5,600 people living in Sagkeeng, and 1,300 in Powerview-Pine Falls.
On the other side of the coin, 54 people who didn't have jobs before have them now. That's 30 jobs at the Tim Hortons kiosk and 24 new jobs at the new grocery store, the Sagkeeng Superstore (not that Superstore), which houses the coffee shop. Most of the new employees are young people, and for many, it's their first job. More than half these jobs are full-time.
"They're getting training, they're building resumés. From jobs comes better education; with better education comes health," Fontaine said. "You talk about self-esteem? They wear uniforms. It instils in people that it's important to be professional."
It's been a baptism of fire. The lineups at the Tim Hortons don't stop, certainly not during a two-hour visit. On opening day last Tuesday, the lineup was out the door, through the parking lot and dog-legged down Highway 11 in a giant L-shape. Vehicles were parked on both sides of the highway. A Tim Hortons transition team is on-site for the first week to oversee operations.
Local managers Brian and Sharon Bruyere spent seven weeks at the Tim Hortons University in Oakville, Ont., preparing for this.
"I never knew there was a Tim Hortons University," Brian said. Now he gets up at 3:45 a.m. every morning. "I have to get everything ready before 6 (a.m.)" when it opens. It closes at midnight.
Some people think Tim Hortons granted Sagkeeng a restaurant because Fontaine made a stink about the children's camp the Tim Hortons Foundation is building in the Whiteshell. Fontaine threatened blockades unless he was consulted, because the camp is on traditional territory.
Both sides deny that was a factor. The situation was settled when Fontaine learned Sagkeeng children would be welcomed at the camp.
What really happened, said Fontaine, is he first started applying for a Tim Hortons three years ago. A representative came out and wasn't impressed. He told Fontaine in no uncertain terms the company doesn't open stores only to close them in two or three years. That's not the Tim Hortons way. (Try to think of a Tim Hortons franchise that has closed.)
Fontaine persisted. A representative came out a second time but didn't like any of the buildings.
Then Sharon Bruyere approached the band. She had been running the band's convenience store for four years. She had done something no one else had ever done -- make it viable -- and had earned the respect of council. She believed the reserve could support a bigger store, a grocery store where residents could buy fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh meat cut by an on-site butcher.
Long story short, the new building cost just short of $2 million and the franchise cost about $250,000. Tim Hortons does not offer franchises to communities, so the kiosk is in the Bruyeres' names, backed financially by a band council resolution.
The Tims and Sagkeeng Superstore are signature projects rural communities sometimes take on, such as the state-of-the-art cineplex in Dauphin, the magnificent PCU Recreation Centre in Portage la Prairie and Altona's Gallery in the Park (art gallery and sculpture garden).
What's so great, says Fontaine, is the money doesn't go "whisht," as he put it, pointing to the horizon. Meaning the money doesn't just leave the reserve to pay for goods and services, as on most First Nations, but circulates within the community for a multiplier effect. Here, employees getting off work can stock up on groceries just a few steps away. Patrons buying groceries can buy a coffee on the way out.
"A lot of pride," said Todd Guimond, local DJ at 102.7 Wolf FM, summing up his feelings about the iconic Canadian coffee shop on his home reserve.
Sagkeeng's is not the first Tim Hortons on a First Nation. Opaskwayak Cree Nation, sister community to The Pas, has one, and there is a kiosk in the Northern Store in Oxford House, but it's owned and operated by Northern Store.

AUSTRALIAN women will race for what would be a landmark national madison title only if cycling's world governing body takes the final step in equalising the sport's track program.
In a historic women's madison last weekend, six female teams competed in the discipline for the first time at Victoria's annual Christmas track carnival.
Cycling Victoria pushed for the introduction of the women's madison to the racing program for the meeting but did not have approval to give it the same status as the men's event, which was a race for a national crown.
Olympic sprint champion Anna Meares said the madison proved hugely popular for the women who raced it, and tipped that many more than six teams would enter next year.
''They are just so eager to have a go at it. They want to do it,'' she said. ''So I think the UCI will be very surprised and overwhelmed with the interest internationally if they give the opportunity.''
Meares' London Olympics teammate Annette Edmondson was one who raced the women's madison last weekend and said she would be disappointed if she did not have the same opportunity to race for a national title in the discipline next year.
Cycling Australia takes its lead on what disciplines qualify for national titles from the UCI's list of world championship events. At the track world championships there is no women's madison.
''I'd love to see a women's madison. We've talked about that for a long time,'' Cycling Australia's high-performance manager Kevin Tabotta said.
''If the UCI decided tomorrow that the women's madison was a world championship event, then it would go on our program.
''I see huge potential in it simply for the development of skills.''

DETROIT - Based upon early eyewitness accounts, today's tragedy on I-75 started with drivers suddenly encountering what's called a whiteout, with very heavy snow almost instantly dropping visibility to near zero. Take a look at this radar snapshot from the time of the crash. The little circle shows you I-75 where the Rouge River Bridge is. Notice the narrow dark blue band…that's the whiteout. This blue band is less than a mile wide. You can see how quickly you transition from the light blue (which is light snow) to the dark blue (heavy snow). Drivers moving along at typical freeway speeds would have very quickly found themselves driving from typical light snow into blinding, wind-driven heavy snow in an instant.
--Radar captured at the exact time the I-75 crash happened Thursday morning
The snow bands like this one that developed over Michigan today are caused by strong wind blowing very cold Artic air across the open Great Lakes. In our case, that lake is Lake Michigan. The cold air warms and picks up moisture over the lake, but then has to drop that extra moisture after it hits land again and cools, and snow bands are the mechanism to do just that. Sometimes, these lake effect snow bands don't make it all the way across the state to Metro Detroit, but due west winds blowing across the southern, "fat" part of Lake Michigan form what we call the I-94 / I-96 Convergence Band…an area of lake effect snow that stretches eastward along or between I-94 and I-96. Today, narrow ribbons of intense snow developed and, while many areas had hardly any snow at all, other areas had whiteout conditions. Since the bands were oriented east-west, people driving north-south – such as those on I-75 – would have driven in and out of these bands.
Whiteout talked about on social media
Word of the I-75 crash and whiteout conditions quickly spread on Twitter Thursday:Whiteout conditions talked about on Twitter

Pete Barrett / The Journal News
Why did Frank Francisco call the Yankees chicken? Maybe to get to the other side…of the New York Post. His comment stirred up a controversy that filled the otherwise mundane media coverage of the second edition of the Subway Series.
One of those only in baseball moments occurred, as Francisco was called upon to protect the Mets 6-4 lead heading into the ninth inning.
He had to back up his comments. If he blew the save, he would look like a goat.
Francisco said he would strike out all the Yankees – he only struck out one – but, he did get through the inning without allowing a run, and picked up his 18th save in the Mets 6-4 win.
Most found his "chicken" comment absurd. How could a team that has some of the most established group of veterans in Major League Baseball, be chicken?
Well, if you look at the Yankees inability to hit in clutch situations, it makes Francisco's comments a whole lot more interesting.
The Yankees .218 batting average with runners in scoring position ranks 28th in MLB. However, they lead MLB with a .268 batting average with no runners on base. With runners in scoring position and two outs, they are even worse, posting just a .205 clip.
On Friday night, with runners on first and second and two outs Mark Teixeira stepped to the plate. Teixeira popped out to Mets' shortstop Omar Quintanilla, indicative of his .227 average with runners in scoring position.
If you think that is bad, compare that to Ike Davis' .235 average with runners in scoring position. And until recently, Davis was dreadful. But Teixeira is not the biggest culprit. Raul Ibanez, who walked in the inning, hits just .207 in those opportunities. Russel Martin just .163, Andruw Jones .160, and Robinson Cano .148.
Cano has hit only 1 home run, and 1 double with runners in scoring position. The freaky thing is, otherwise Cano is performing. He is batting .299, and has hit 15 home runs.
Number 15 came in the top of the eighth inning with a runner on first. He brought the game within two runs, and even in Citi Field the Yankees can erase that pretty fast. Just not when a runner is in scoring position.
The Mets had no problem converting their base runners into runs early in Friday's game. Justin Turner, who started at second base over Daniel Murphy and Jordany Valdespin, continued his clutch play, smacking a 2RBI single in the first.
Ike Davis, also brought two more home with a three run home run in the first.
The only other Met runner in scoring position was David Wright in the bottom of the seventh, but he erased himself by being doubled off on a Scott Hairston ball which was caught by a diving Andruw Jones.
For the most part, the Mets failed to create opportunities after the first inning, as the Yankees continued to fail in clutch situations. They are chicken, when ducks are on the pond.
The two crosstown rivals continue their fight Saturday night at 7:15. Ivan Nova (9-2; 4.32) vs. Chris Young (1-1, 3.06.)

Junior B streak
The St. Albert Merchants put their 16-game winning streak on the line tonight against the Stony Plain Flyers in the Capital Junior B Hockey League.
Faceoff is 8 p.m. at Glenn Hall Centennial Arena.
In league play the Merchants (27-2-1) are first and the Flyers (13-15-1) are fifth in the west division.
Last weekend the Merchants continued their winning ways by defeating the Beverly Warriors 6-4 in a penalty-filled affair at Londonderry Arena and the Leduc Riggers 3-2 at Akinsdale Arena.
The Merchants and Beverly (15-15) combined for 167 penalty minutes. The majority of the infractions were called during a wild six-goal second period as the visitors outscored the home team 4-2. Josh Jewell potted a pair, including a shorthanded effort, and Casey Reid and Jared Kwasney also tallied in the second.
Taylor Wiebe made it 1-1 in the first and Brent McGugan�s insurance marker closed out the scoring with 12:40 to play.
Jewell, the team leader in goals with 21 and points with 48 in 26 games, also picked up one assist. Liam and Mitch McNamara had two assists apiece.
The Merchants converted two power-play chances and Beverly struck three times with the man advantage.
Justin Pawlenchuk (18-1, 2.42 GAA) stopped 34 shots for the win.
Sandan Hunter�s sixth goal of the season was the winner against Leduc in the third as the Merchants improved to 14-1-1 on home ice.
Blair Macuch and Reid potted goals in the first and Leduc (12-15-3) replied with a pair in the second.
Max Cathcart (9-2, 2.07 GAA) faced 30 Leduc shots.
Friday the Merchants visit the Beaumont Chiefs (14-13-3) at 8 p.m.
Kings on top
Dalen Paul�s overtime goal was the difference as the Morinville Kings knocked off the North Central Hockey League champion Devon Barons 4-3 with first-place on the line in north standings Friday.
Brayden Arcand and Tim Nolte assisted Paul�s second of the night and his team-leading 15th goal.
Shane O�Neill and Matt McRae also scored in support of netminder Jordan Panasiuk, the game�s first star with 48 saves. The Kings were credited with 26 shots on goal.
The Kings also killed off 10 of 11 power plays against the Barons (9-2-2), formerly the Legal Vipers.
Saturday the Kings (11-3) dealt the Athabasca Aces (5-10) a 5-3 loss at Ray McDonald Sports Centre.
Ryan Martin, Jorey McRae, Joshua Lafleche, Chris Fraser and O�Neill scored and Curtis Ronaldson was between the pipes.
The next game for the Kings, the host team at the March 28 to 30 senior AA/A provincials, is Saturday at the Slave Lake Winterhawks (6-7-1) at 8:30 p.m.

Aiden Seat/Table
I like the industrial feel of these seats/tables... Quintessential modern design is defined by symmetrical beams of brushed stainless steel. Sleek steel introduces an understated elegance to complement and sooth any decor. These two pieces unite immaculate lines, a soft sheen and incredible strength. The multipurpose design allows each piece to be used as a modern table or seat, indoors or outdoors.

THE gritting team from Worcestershire County Council are ready and waiting to swing in to action to help keep traffic on the move with poor weather on the cards.
The Met Office has predicted rain, wind and low road surface temperatures for the weekend and there may even be a light dusting of snow on higher ground.
Council officers will be closely monitoring the situation throughout the weekend and are ready to carry out whatever action is necessary.
Cllr John Smith, the council's cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "The message for drivers doesn't change but it's just as important as ever. Take care when temperatures dip.
"Grit has never been, or never will be a miracle cure. Don't assume that it's safe to travel at normal speeds when temperatures dip, even if you think roads may have been treated."

She said: "There is a tremendous amount of passion that was exuded by those who truly believe in what they do. Their commitment to customer service excellence is inspirational.
"I have walked away with broadened insight and excitement for the future of Trowbridge business. Really there is no better way to celebrate or understand the commitment to quality and teamwork.
"A huge congratulations to all those who were nominated."
Around 200 people are expected to attend today's ceremony.
Colin Kay, of Trowbridge Chamber of Commerce, who is one of the competition's judges, said: "The level of competition is very high this year and I think it is fantastic to see a real quality of service in Trowbridge."

The second weekend of July is jam-packed with events for the Queen Anne community. Between the Queen Anne Fun Run/Walk and an even bigger Queen Anne Days, there's plenty of fun to be had.
Fun Run
The kickoff to the weekend's events is the Crown of Queen Anne Fun Run/Walk on Saturday, July 12. This year is the 30th anniversary of the walk. Funds raised from the run will directly benefit the event's coordinator, the Queen Anne Helpline.
More than 600 participants are expected to run or walk the 3.3-mile loop around the top of Queen Anne. Registration will start at 7 a.m. at the Queen Anne Lutheran Church (2400 Eighth Ave. W.). The race starts at 8 a.m. for walkers and 8:20 a.m. for runners.
Afterward, there will be prizes and events for the fastest runners and most creative hats. Helpline executive director Lisa Moore isn't sure where the creative-hat tradition started, but people create unique hats and wear them to the event.
This year, Pat Sobeck, former executive director of the Helpline, is creating a quilt from the T-shirts of every past Fun Run. The quilt will be on display at the church at the start and the end of the event.
The event really draws all demographics in the neighborhood — from serious runners, to kids and older walkers, Moore said: "It seems like if you live in the neighborhood and you aren't participating, you're watching it."
Right now, the Helpline is busy registering people. Registration is open online and at the Queen Anne Farmers Market on Thursdays until July 10. The event is $35 online or $40 on race day; kids 5 and younger are free. T-shirts are an additional $10.
Organizers are still looking for volunteers, especially the 45 crossing guards needed, Moore said. There is an age 16-and-older requirement for that volunteer position, but parents could do it with their children, Moore said. To volunteer fill out the form online: queenannehelpline.org/events/queen-anne-fun-runwalk.
"It's such a well-oiled machine at this point," Moore said. "A lot of the community volunteers every year."
The Fun Run already has all of its sponsors lined up, and Moore expects the event to raise between $35,000 and $40,000 this year, up a few thousand from the approximately $32,000 the event raised last year.
That money will go to the Helpline, which provides financial, food and other basic-needs services to people in need in Queen Anne, Magnolia and South Lake Union. Moore expects this money to be used specifically for housing costs, such as rent, move-in deposits and utility bills.
Eighty percent of the Helpline's revenue comes from donations, so without big events like this, the Helpline wouldn't be able to do what it does, Moore said: "We're seeing a constantly increasing need in that area. I'm not sure if there are more people in need or more people are aware of the Helpline. Our goal is to meet the need of everyone.
"We're just really excited," she said. "It's a great start to the weekend and to celebrate our community."
Queen Anne Days
After the Fun Run, event-goers can head over to the Queen Anne Days festivities.
There is the Queen Anne merchants' sidewalk sale from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. That sale stretches along Queen Anne Avenue North from McGraw to Galer streets.
The Kiddie Parade is on Saturday, at 11 a.m., starting in the McClure Middle School parking lot (1915 First Ave. W.) at 10:30 a.m.
There is also a community festival at the Queen Anne Playfield (150 W. Blaine St.) on Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m., with bouncy houses, food trucks, game and craft booths, a car show and different family-friendly musical guests, including headliner The Not-Its!
There have been about 12 booths in past years; this year, there will be 30 booths from local nonprofits and businesses. Each booth will have a game, activity or craft.
Between 1,500 and 3,000 people are expected to attend.
In the past, the event was run by the Upper Queen Anne Merchants Association and the Queen Anne Chamber. Those two groups are still involved, but this year, the Queen Anne Neighborhood Alliance has stepped in to try to make the event even bigger.
"They're working really hard to try and get this off the ground and make it really a pretty big deal for the Queen Anne community," said chamber executive director Charley Shore.
Ben Hanisko co-founded the Queen Anne Neighborhood Alliance about six months ago to bring community members together and share all of the good things happening across Queen Anne; it made sense for the group to step in and help plan this year's Queen Anne Days, Hanisko said.
For the first time ever, the event has a website (queenannedays.com) with a schedule and other information.
Queen Anne Days is the neighborhood's block party and community festival, Hanisko said: "It deserves to be a bigger party."
The money raised from the events will benefit the Queen Anne Community Center, which has been dealing with decreased funding over the last few years. The food trucks will also donate a portion of their proceeds to the community center.
The community center will use the money to sponsor scholarships for kids to access camps and other events, Hanisko said.
"It's very meaningful for me to know that the money we're raising is giving kids the opportunity to have experiences that they otherwise couldn't afford to have," he said. "Some of these experiences they're going to carry with them their [entire] lives. We can have fun and make a difference."
Organizers need volunteers to work 1 1/2-hour shifts to help with set up and take down, as well as running booths like the popcorn machine or the information booth and organizing the kiddie parade. To volunteer, sign up online (queenannedays.com) or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hanisko is also asking local businesses to donate gift cards for the balloon-pop game.
"We really believe at the Alliance that we're better when we're part of the community," Hanisko said. This event is the best of both worlds, he said, because people get to have "fun and make the community better in the process."
Some of people's best memories from living in Queen Anne come from this event, Shore said. Often, things can get "disjointed" and people don't get to know their neighbors, but this event brings the community together.
Queen Anne is often portrayed as a place of affluence and the "grand, old part of Seattle," Shore said, but she likes to remind people that it's a great place for all of these community events, too.

A new Rutgers Regional Report, "Employment Recession and Recovery in the 50 States: An Update," authored by Professor Joseph J. Seneca at Rutgers University's Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and Will Irving, research associate, ranks the 50 states by the percentage of the Great Recession's private-sector job losses that have been recovered as of June 2012.
The authors observe that, "The impacts of the recession continue to be profound and affect many dimensions of American life. This is not surprising given that the basic labor-market facts are compelling and remain deeply sobering. The nation lost 8,833,000 private-sector jobs during a 26-month period….As of June 2012, nearly two-and-a-half years later, the nation had recovered just under half (49.3 percent, or 4,372,000 private-sector jobs) of these losses."
They concluded, "Only a relatively few states, led mostly by those with significant energy-production and related activities, have regained all of the private-sector job losses that were incurred…. Even this, however, would still not address the additional job needs implicit from what expected expansion of the labor force at normal labor force participation rates…would entail. Thus, increasing the rate of job growth remains a deeply compelling national priority."
It is in this context that an aspect of emigration reform is taking place: There is currently a proposal before Congress to increase the number of visas to foreign-born graduates of American universities seeking opportunities in the United States in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). This proposal would have a positive and long-lasting impact on our nation's economy.
Studies have demonstrated that for every foreign graduate with an advanced degree from a U.S. university who stays in this country and works in a STEM field, the economy generates on average 2.62 jobs for American workers as a consequence of the investments in research, development and industry made possible by the availability of these technical workers.
Growing up in Camden, New Jersey, and later serving as a City Councilman there, I experienced how the process of disinvestment can lead communities to despair. Years later, when I taught Urban Economics at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, I became intrigued by the factors that drive business investment decisions.
I was fortunate that I was able to spend time observing and implementing economic development strategies, first as one of Mayor Ed Rendell's volunteer business ambassadors for Philadelphia, then as New Jersey's Secretary of Commerce, and subsequently with a global commercial real estate firm representing companies making location decisions. During this time, I have visited many jurisdictions that are economic centers of excellence and many that aspire to be.
A lesson I learned in all of my work is that technology and the life sciences are multifaceted, influential and fluid industry clusters capable of transforming economic regions as diverse as Research Triangle Park, Singapore, Israel, Silicon Valley, Boston's Route 128 Corridor, and New York State's Capital Region, to name a few. Today's world measures progress by the technological advancement achieved by regions and countries. Technology makes life simpler and helps us achieve a better lifestyle. It also drives the political and economic stability of a nation or region.
And it cannot happen without knowledge workers. Projections indicate that manytechnical positions in the U.S. cannot be filled without immigration reform. By 2018 there will be a deficit of more than 230,000 advanced degree workers in STEM-related fields that cannot be filled even if every new American STEM graduate finds employment. An increase in visas for foreign-born graduates of American universities in STEM fields would help bring new economic activity and employment growth to the United States.

DETROIT - Investment banking experts will visit Detroit next week with more than $400 million to invest in Michigan companies, but there is a catch.
At Duggan Manufacturing in Shelby Township, the focus has been on car parts with a healthy side profit coming in from tank parts purchased by the Department of Defense.
But now, the military wants drones, planes and aerospace products, which could cost southeast Michigan 10,000 jobs.
"Our job is to implement the standards that the manufacturers need to get on the platform," said Francis Charbonneau of Aerospace Consultants International.
Gavin Brown is with the Michigan Aerospace Manufacturing Association. He said if companies like Duggan's withdraw from ground vehicles to aerospace, profits and the number of local jobs will increase.
"The challenge for companies is to understand if you are an expert in automotive, there is a growing cycle in aerospace," said Brown.
Martina Stone is with One World Business Finance, one of multiple companies willing to invest a collective $400 million in local companies making the switch.
"For aerospace, the money is there because we need it," Stone said.
Duggan Manufacturing is now 10 percent aerospace and looking to grow.
"I don't know where we would be without our employees and their families," said Rodney Westich, CEO of Duggan Manufacturing. "Aerospace has been very good to us."
Investors will meet with 50 Michigan companies on Tuesday, Oct 29 to help them access the money needed to get into aerospace. To learn more about the event, click here.

By adding alarm components to your system, you assure that you have your whole property covered. The benefit of choosing a wireless system is that you can never outgrow your system. If you get a larger home or apartment, simply add extra sensors to expand your system's coverage. By offering additional components, you're able to buy a minimalist system initially, and then add to it as your needs change.. Remote controls, window and door alarms, two-way radios, portable receivers and wireless smoke detectors are but a few of the items from which to choose.
The availability of a wide variety of components for alarm systems makes it possible for you to build a complete system that fits your needs and your budget. When selecting alarm components, make sure that the components are either standalone units or that they are compatible with your current or planned alarm system. The LaserShield Sparrow VoIP Adapter, for example, is compatible only with LaserShield Master Alarm units. The Wireless Rubber Hose Alert is a standalone driveway alert system consisting of a 25-foot hose, a wireless transmitter and a receiver that plugs into a standard wall outlet. The Tattletale Smoke Detector works only with the Tattletale Home Alarm System, which can be programmed to alert you by email or text when you are away from home. Read more.
Many of the alarm components available at BrickHouse Security work with wireless home alarm systems. One such component, the MURS Alert Transmitter, allows you to monitor motion from a distance. You can place one transmitter to warn you of activity in or near your home and add up to three more to monitor other buildings, vacant lots, roadways or trails. The transmitter detects people, vehicles and large animals through its passive infrared sensor and sends a signal to either a hand-held or base station transceiver.

The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport Economy Parking Lot expansion project and luggage cart system are available to the public.
Passengers began parking in the expansion on Friday, November 16th just in time for the busy Thanksgiving travel week. Approximately 415 parking spaces have been added to the economy parking lot in an effort to offer passengers a greater opportunity to take advantage of the $4 per day Economy parking lot rate. This addition increases the current 1,097 available parking spaces by 40 percent.
To further assist passengers parking in the Economy parking lot a luggage cart system was installed in two locations inside of the lot, along with additional carts available inside the baggage claim area. These carts are available for passengers to rent for $2 with a $0.25 refund upon the return of the cart to any of the 3 cart rental locations.
To help further ease the potential for stress related travel, passengers are also reminded about the GSP Parking Reservation Program. Visit gspairport.com and click on the parking reservation icon to find out more about how to pick and reserve a parking space before heading to the airport.

"Just loved this whole suite. We are having a rehearsal luncheon for our son in a room with a lot of greenery so the design is perfect. Their wedding venue is outdoor so i this design is staying with the theme. Quality of the paper is fantastic. The only thing I wish was that the design was on the back of the place cards as well."
"I ordered these place cards because they fit my rustic spring wedding. I like the simplicity of the leaf pattern. I did not want a plain Placecard and when I looked through the choices, I fell in love with this design. I would definitely recommend this product to those who are considering it."
"I ordered these in gold and a light pink, with different colors representing alternate meal choices. I was so impressed with the paper quality and the print on these. Not only that, but I'm really picky about paper I write on because I'm left handed and things I write always smear. The paper absorbed the ink quickly and they looked absolutely flawless. The gold is metallic, which I was worried about. Sometimes a non metallic gold color can look flat and icky, but it truly was a sparkly gold! Loved everything about them, and so did guests! Most even took them home!"
"I ordered these for my wedding for the tables and place cards. i then called to place a smaller order of the same cards with no writing on them so i can use them to label some family photos and favors etc. they came with the writing on them so i called and they fixed the problem right away and overnighted the correct cards."
"We didn't' need the reference to table number as this was a place card only, not an escort card, so we removed that, changed the colors to navy, and added a reminder about what entree people chose to the back of the card to help guests and servers alike. I love the simplicity of this suite of designs. I wanted to use the 'nuff said invites too but was vetoed by the fiance. I'm glad we got to use them for both the menu and place card."

Nine Entertainment has been saved from collapse with a Federal Court judge giving the final tick of approval to a $3.4 billion recapitalisation scheme.
If the lenders had not agreed to the restructure, Nine would have collapsed next week when billions of dollars of debt falls due.
Under the scheme, senior lenders will instead get 95.5 per cent of the equity in Nine, and share $573 million in cash payments. The cash will come from $700 million in new debt that will be raised by Nine after the restructure is completed.
The Goldman Sachs-led mezzanine debt holders, who are owed $1 billion, will end up with 3.75 per cent of Nine and a $22.5 million cash payment. The present owners, CVC Asia Pacific, will end up with 0.75 per cent of the media group and $4.5 million in cash, having lost almost $2 billion on its original investment.
The rest of the cash from the debt raising will stay with Nine as working capital.
Under Nine's new constitution, the board will "use commercially reasonable efforts to effect a listing within 18 months" of the scheme being implemented but it is not obliged to pursue a listing.
Nine will effectively be controlled by two American hedge funds, Apollo Global Management and Oaktree Capital, which will own 37.4 per cent of Nine's equity under the deal.
The Moelis-advised hedge funds will each appoint two directors to Nine's board, as well as jointly appointing a fifth director.
Nine's chief executive, David Gyngell, will take another board seat. The other lenders will appoint another three board members, which are rumoured to include the former treasurer Peter Costello.
The focus will then turn to reviving Nine's financial performance - including its television business, which clawed back some respectability last year with better ratings at the expense of the Ten Network.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1912 — Transylvania, Romania
Samuel's parents emigrated to Palestine when he was very young. They lived in Rishon le Zion, the first settlement in Palestine founded by Jews from outside of Palestine. After graduating from high school, Samuel became active in a movement challenging the British mandate in Palestine.
1933-39: Samuel was expelled from Palestine in 1936 because of his outspoken criticism of the British mandate. He went to France and then to Spain just after the civil war began. Samuel fought for three years with the Spanish Republicans against the fascists. The Republicans were defeated, and Samuel returned to France, where he was interned by the French at the Gursdetention camp for foreigners. He escaped and headed for Paris.
1940-44: In 1940 Samuel joined the armed resistance group, Franc-Tireurs et Partisans. He smuggled explosives into Paris to use in sabotage against the German army. In July 1942 he arrived at the East Paris train station with two suitcases full of explosives. Two policemen grabbed him. He ran, but was shot in the legs and arrested. After two months his wounds healed. Then, on crutches, he was led daily to the prison basement to be questioned and tortured.
Samuel refused to divulge information. He died under torture at the age of 34.

WHEN Andrea Montiroli returned home at 9am after dropping his two children at school, a prostitute wearing a French maid's outfit and a black wig was waiting for him.
Montiroli, 40, had met the woman earlier at the Gotham City brothel and because they got on famously he had decided to ask her home to his townhouse in Elwood.
The pair then went on a 12-hour drug and alcohol binge before the woman called triple 0 after being attacked by Montiroli.
Montiroli pleaded guilty in the County Court on Wednesday to one charge of intentionally causing serious injury. The maximum penalty is 20 years' jail.
Prosecutor Melissa Mahady told the court Montiroli became increasingly paranoid as the pair drank vodka and binged on cocaine and methamphetamines on Monday, May 7 this year.
At one stage he punched the woman several times in the face and placed a knife against her stomach. He grabbed her by the throat, dragged her out of the toilet and threw her around the room.
Ms Mahady said the victim felt helpless and trapped and was terrified of Montiroli.
Montiroli later picked up a samurai sword on a seat next to the kitchen bench and struck the victim on the right shoulder blade, causing a small cut.
The victim fought Montiroli off and ran upstairs to the bathroom and called triple 0.
She told police: ''I'm an escort. I've gone to this guy's house. He's flipping out.''
Defence barrister Philip Dunn, QC, said Montiroli had been struggling with drug and alcohol problems for years and after his latest relationship had broken up, a mate thought he needed companionship so they went to the Gotham City brothel near the Crown casino at 4am.
Mr Dunn said Montiroli met one of the prostitutes and stayed for an hour before asking her to come back to his house because they were ''getting along famously''.
Montiroli's ex-wife and two children lived nearby so he went home from the brothel on his own, showered and took his son and daughter to school at 8.30am.
Mr Dunn said when Montiroli returned home he found the prostitute waiting for him. Montiroli later became concerned when the woman was going into his children's rooms and looking at photographs and throwing things at him.
Montiroli is now an in-patient at the Refocus drug rehabilitation centre.
Judge Liz Gaynor agreed to extend Montiroli's bail and will sentence him in March.

I have fond memories of Japan. I have visited the country four times, spent one memorable night sleeping on the floor of a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, and several months studying at Sophia University in Tokyo. In the summer of 1981, I felt an earthquake measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale. As I stood at the train station in Chiba Prefecture, pausing to look around to see if it was appropriate to rush for cover, I witnessed firsthand what the news media has been praising the Japanese people for: discipline, orderliness, relative calm.
The recent devastation in Japan is a grim and frightening reminder of the need for disaster preparedness. For organizations, that means business continuity and disaster recovery plans critical to managing a work force during a disruptive crisis.
The following are a few basic reminders:
Educate Employees
Education may be an employers' most powerful tool in managing the risks associated with a disaster. Ensure that employees have a basic understanding of what they should do in a possible disaster. Here is a tip health authorities have recommended should a nuclear explosion or fallout occur:
During nuclear fallout, stay indoors. If you're in an office building when a blast occurs, run to an interior room, preferably one without windows. If you're in a multi-story building, the safest floors will be the middle floors or underground areas. Do not get in your car and leave. Stay indoors for at least four to eight hours until you receive the all-clear from authorities.
Conduct a Benefits Review
Consider conducting a review of information about insurance, leave policies, working from home, issues related to possible income loss, and when not to come to work.
Establish Telework Programs and Policies
If you don't have a telework program in place, establish one now before disaster strikes. Decide which jobs can be done remotely and give those employees the tools they need to continue operating.
Establish a Phone Tree
Create a single document that lists all employees' contact information: home and cell phone numbers, emergency contacts, personal email addresses, perhaps a central voice mailbox or social network for employees to inform their employers of their status.
No one ever knows when disaster — whether nuclear, health-related or natural — will strike. Good business practices require that risks be managed to mitigate the effect of any kind of interruption. That is the essence of business continuity planning: Ensuring an organization has contingencies in place that allow it to keep running and quickly (and calmly) recover from a disaster.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/11/2012 (1735 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Shoot! The machine gun was just a toy.
A chunk of a plastic machine gun has been found in a pile of rubble that was once the Shanghai Restaurant.
Two Winnipeggers out for a walk photographed the gun in a second-storey suite above the restaurant Tuesday when the building was being demolished. They snapped some photos before heading back to their workplace in the area.
Hours later, the rest of the building was knocked over by Imrie Demolition.
The pictures were sent to the Free Press late Tuesday night, and were also shared with the Winnipeg Police Service.
But today, during a search of the rubble, a piece of the toy gun was retrieved, ending speculation it might have a real Tommy gun from decades gone by.
And it was Free Press photographer Ken Gigliotti who first spotted it this afternoon as others were searching for it.
The chance photo shows a machine gun, tucked away from view near the bottom of a cabinet. It was exposed when the wall next to the cabinet was torn away by demolition crews.
A United Way employee took the shot. Sherman Reimer said this morning he had no idea he had captured a gun in the photos he took.
"We were watching the building coming down and I grabbed my camera and snuck in a few shots for posterity. I thought nothing of it," he said.
That was about 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. Tuesday.
Reimer said he downloaded the shots but didn't look at them closely. Sometime later, someone else at United Way went to check out the shots and made the strange discovery.
