NBC Hires Jeff Burton, Rick Allen For NASCAR Coverage

Earlier this week, NBC Sports began announcing its on-air talent for its NASCAR television coverage that's set to begin with the 2015 race season. So far, Jeff Burton and Rick Allen have been revealed as members of the NBC NASCAR broadcasting team, with Allen being the lead announcer and Burton as an analyst.
"Jeff Burton was always the first person we would seek out when there was breaking news or an issue that needed to be covered throughout our previous contract with NASCAR, so he was the first person we called for this role," NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network Executive Producer Sam Flood said. "His insights, keen observations and many trophies have earned the respect of everyone involved with the sport. He will be an outstanding analyst and has everyone here looking even more forward to getting started."
Burton is scaling back his racing schedule, beginning with the upcoming 2014 season. After full-time Sprint Cup Racing for Roush Fenway Racing and then Richard Childress Racing, Burton recently announced that he would be a test driver and run a limited amount of races in a No. 66 entry for Michael Waltrip Racing next season.
Burton will also contribute to NASCAR programming on the NBC Sports Network in 2014 before becoming a full-time analyst the following season when NBC begins its race coverage. Beginning in 2015, NBC will have exclusive broadcast rights to the final 20 Sprint Cup Series races of the season, the final 19 Nationwide Series races and select regional and touring series events.
"This is an exciting new challenge, and I am thrilled to be joining the NBC Sports family," Burton said. "I will prepare for each race as if I were driving in it, and I look forward to sharing my experience, views and insights with all the dedicated and passionate NASCAR fans."
Allen has worked as a broadcaster/announcer for television broadcasts of Camping World Truck Series and ARCA Racing Series races for SPEED Channel and FOX Sports for several years. He also hosted several racing-related shows on the former SPEED Channel, as well as doing voice-over work for companies including Goodyear, Sears, Alltel and Toyota.
"I've had the good fortune to work with some of the most talented people in this industry over the last decade," Allen said. "Now, I'm excited to be a part of the incredible team that NBC Sports is assembling for their NASCAR coverage."

Rolling Stones Sax Player Hints At More Gigs
Thursday, October 11, 2012
The Rolling Stones' longtime saxophonist Bobby Keys confirmed that the band is prepping more shows than just their still-unannounced London and New York City dates. Keys first performed with the Stones on the 1969 Let It Bleed classic, "Live With Me," before touring with the band in 1970 and being featured on the 1971 chart-topping "Brown Sugar." He revealed to Billboard that the Stones are "gonna do some more concerts, starting in November with two in England and then a couple here in the States, then there's a few added concerts after that. Keith (Richards) told me a couple months ago there was something in the wind and just be ready to go. I'm waiting for them to send me the plane ticket and the information, and then I'll go."
Keys hinted that he feels as though this might be the final go-around for the Stones: "The reality is this train is going to pull into the last station pretty soon -- I don't know how soon. I've been saying this since 1980, but I feel like it's kind of winding down. This may be sort of the 'Sayonara, see you later, had a good time, keep in touch.' I don't know that for sure. I haven't officially been told anything. . . I just take my cue primarily from what Keith says, so we'll have to see."
Keith Richards is well aware of the importance of the Stones in grand scheme of rock n' roll -- especially to the younger generations -- and has always considered their road work to be the core part of their job: "But, y'know, younger generations born after 1963, or 4, y'know, you have the sun, you have the moon, you have the air they breathe (laughs) and you've got the Rolling Stones. Y'know, I mean, they've just been there all the time. . . and I intend to stay."
Stones sideman, vocalist/guitarist Blondie Chaplin, who's been on the road with the band since 1997, told us that the Stones never fail to be consistently hot in concert: "It's such a high, heavy energy show. I mean people ask me all the time, I go, 'Hey that was pretty good,' or 'That was real good.' But it's just measuring emotional highs. It's just, "Oh, that energy was incredible,' and I'll say it that way, as opposed to, "This is better than. . .' -- y'know what I mean?"

Crumple Zones and Car Safety
Keeping dogs safe in the car can be problematic

Mine travel in a crate on the back seat. I would not trust any part of the vehicle that was not designed for humans, for exactly the reasons you describe!
Submitted by Erin | May 3 2011 | Permalink
Right now, due to space in my small hatchback, one crate is on the back seat and one in the cargo area.
I'm looking for a new vehicle in the next few years and I'm leaning toward a mid-size SUV. One of the reasons I'd like a larger vehicle is that I can find one with a third row that can be folded down, thus allowing all crates to be in a passenger compartment instead of a crumple zone.
Submitted by Anne | May 4 2011 | Permalink
Mine also travels in a crate on the back seat. I was in an accident where he came out of it better than I did, since the air bag deployed and I went to a massage therapist for a while afterwards. I assume in a regular sedan, the rear crumple zone would be the trunk.
Submitted by Jennifer | May 3 2011 | Permalink
Thank you for posting this article, very timely as I was just wondering about the same thing! I even have the same model car using a wire crate for my dog. I think I'll try moving the crate as closed to the front seats as I can since no one sits in the back anyways (they fold up rather than down flat in the 2006 model). I wonder if any vet schools/organizations have a suggestion for the safest option?
Submitted by Tammy | October 8 2013 | Permalink
The Center for Pet Safety has conducted crash-tests on harnesses. See their unbiased report here http://centerforpetsafety.org/ (scroll to bottom to download the full report). Amazing to me that only one harness passed as a "top performer". I've purchased one each for my two Border Collies to secure them on the back passenger seat. This is the only way mine will travel from now on.

I drive an SUV and I have 5 dogs - I have no choice but to crate at least a couple of them in the crumple zone. Previously I drove a mini-van and the dogs were all crated in the back as well. I was rear-ended twice - the second time my minivan was totaled - and the dogs and crates were fine. I think while safety is important, being aware that we can't live in a bubble is also important. The only way to ensure 100% that your dogs aren't crumpled in a car is not to put them in one.
I know a gal whose crated dogs drowned when her car flipped upside down in a ditch. I know a fella whose uncrated dogs were ejected from the car in a crash and one of them was fatally run over on the highway. Sometimes there is no "win." At the very least, crated dogs can't distract the driver (know of another man who turned to scold his fighting dogs in the back of his truck, crossed the center line, hit another car and died. So did the dogs) and hopefully crates will offer some measure of protection. All you can do is try and be as safe as you can.

I have an SUV and my dogs are in the back seat for the exact reason in this article. Unfortunately crates won't work in my back seat as my two dogs are larger, but they are restained to limit movement. I feel the "middle" of the vehicle is safe/safer. Ive never felt comfortable with a dog in the cargo area.

I had a dog harness that fastened to the back seat's belt of my little around town Toyota and Harley also had some elbow and lay down room as well. That and careful driving kept both of us safe.

My friend had a accident and her rear end was smushed, BUT the wire crates (thankfully w/ no dogs) that were right there, were NOT injured! The dogs woulda been safe. Albeit it the rear door wouldn't open and they woulda had to use bolt cutters to get the dogs out. So, buy bolt cutters!

for those who have seatbelts, make sure they are crash tested!!!! or the buckles/fastners WONT come undone in a crash!!! a lot of the "seatbelts" out there are just modified harnesses and wouldn't do diddly in a wreck!!! And some let the dog "fly" a few feet then get yanked backwards....yah it's a seatbelt, keeps them from flyin thru the windshield but OUCHIE!! talk bout whip lash!!

I had not considered the crumple zones when shopping for a new dog hauler. We just expanded our pack to three retired racing greyhounds, and I've been looking for something like an SUV to allow me to bring all 3 with me (oh, and my husband too...) Anyone have any suggestions? I guess I thought I was taking enough into consideration by looking for a vehicle that will allow me to affix wire crates to the floor of the vehicle. This solution, however, would not take the crumple zones into play. Any thoughts? Does anyone have a safe solution for three large dogs?

We have an Element and a Rav 4. I will certainly be moving the crates forward. Easier to do in the Element with back seats down. Rav4 is smaller and when seats go down 2 crates may not fit behind front seat. Very concerning as my dogs are precious to me.

I let 'em hang their heads out the window and do whatever they want (as long as they stay out of the driver's seat!). If they die during a car ride, believe me, those will be some of the happiest dogs in heaven. Life is for living, and no dog I know is happy riding in a crate when there's an open window just right there.

I know I am taking chances, but Lali rides in the front passenger seat and is not restrained. I bought a nice harness but she was too much the puppy and wanted to chew on it, and we need to work on that...I do have a strap kind of gadget made to slip over the seat belt before latching it, and this strap has the latch to hook to a collar or leash...however anything that seems to give them some freedom of movement, would also allow them to be thrown at least some. She likes to curl up in the passenger seat and rest her head on the middle console/emergency brake or my leg.
The best thing anyone car manufacturer could come out with would be a pet-friendly option package...maybe a set of steps that would be able to be let down for older pups to board, a back seat floor filler (and maybe one for the front as well), and some sort of open cage/container that would fit either the front passenger or back seat offering reinforced protection that wouldn't be too noticable. They also need to have on/off switches for the airbag mechanisms.
BTW...I have a friend who is a petsitter and it makes me absolutely crazy that she sometimes will put a pup in the far back of her PT Cruiser...

What about putting the kennels in the back seat and bucking the seat belts around them?
Submitted by Lizzi | May 3 2011 | Permalink
Personally I would be careful about what crates you use in the car. I've seen crash tests where plastic crates basically exploded when the dog hit the side in the crash, and I've heard of accidents where the crates broken open and dogs ended up running in the highway.
I use a strength-rated dog seatbelt for my dogs, and they sit in the rear seat.

Oh man, I never put two and two together! I know about crumple zones, didn't even think to link them to the back of the car with the cargo area!
I have a mini van. The middle seat is completely removed, the back one is left in. The cargo goes in the rear. My dogs ride in crates in the middle, where the seat was.
I didn't like the idea of them riding in the cargo area and completely out of my sight and reach. I wanted to be able to access them quickly if something should happen.
I left the back bench seat in for those times I wanted to relax at a show and for the occasions when I am carrying my 8 y.o. nephew or more than one passenger.

This is a great article. I have a 2002 Honda CRV as well and my dog also rides in a crate in the back. As I have spent some time looking at new cars I have also looked into other options of places to put crates. I currently have my dogs crate all the way up against the front passenger seat. The nice part about the CRV is the 60/40 split. So I have the 60 down and only one seat available in the back. When I decided to use the crate I knew that I wanted it to be as far away from the back door as possible for exactly that reason - what happens if I get rear ended?
My dogs travel in harnesses/seat belts in the back seat. I know they are not crash tested but I have ones made from the same material as seat belts so I feel pretty safe.
Submitted by Kelley Denz | May 4 2011 | Permalink
I did not think about crumple zones until now. I have always told clients and written articles indicating if you have your dog in a crate he/she is safe. I am going to have to re-think that logic.
Just wanted to also let you know there is one seatbelt for dogs that has been crashed tested. The PetBuckle has been crashed tested here is a link to the crash test http://youtu.be/Ts4sMQA4zqA
The only problem I have found with this seatbelt is it tends to move around on your dog some. I have two dogs it stays in place on one and moves with the other. I still use it because its made from the same material as human seat belts and has be crash tested.
Here is the full review I wrote if you're interested in reading it. Pet Seat belt

YOu should take a look at some of the videos on youtube of dogs who were seatbelted in. The vast majority on the market do little to keep the dog safe and some even add to the danger. In some instances, the latches of the harness do not stay secure and snap open during the impact, providing no security to the pet. In others, the dog is violently thrown backward, often after slamming into the bottom of the seat, potentially causing whiplash and spinal injuries.

You might be interested in this document: Securing Pets in Cars http://wachusett.pssweb.net/Test%20report%20pets%20in%20cars-1.pdf
It's a foreign scientific study that was done to determine the safest way to transport pets. I was shocked at what happened to the crates secured by a seatbelt! And almost all of the harness restraints on the market are a total joke, which is no surprise since so many of them have plastic buckles. They conclude that the safest way to transport is in a crate, firmly positioned in a footwell if it will fit.
But one product they don't evaluate in this document is the IMMI Pet Buckle, which is the only one that actually passes crash testing, and is what we usually recommend as Child Passenger Safety Technicians when advising parents how to protect their children from a pet as a projectile in a crash. It can be connected to the seatbelt or directly to the lower anchors that are used to install car seats, and is made of seat-belt grade material. You can find many online retailers by Googling the product name.

This is why I drive a Volvo XC90. My biggest concern is someone hitting me from the back so both our cars (the other being a Subura OUtback) have been rated as top safety picks. The dogs ride lose in the car around town but for road trips they are crated, we put down the seats, moves the crates as far forward as possible and they are bolted down.
Ruff Rider makes a crash-tested doggie seat belt. One large-size restraint costs $52. I would highly recommend it. See http://www.ruffrider.com/ for more information.

i always put my dog (Peanut) in a purpose made seat belt. i live in england, so we perhaps have different makes, so i can't recommend one in particular. But once i had to brake really, really hard to avoid hitting someone who just walked out onto the road without looking, and although the force shot him forward, the seat belt stopped him from serious harm, he was just a bit put out to find himself nearly in the footwell! i've put dogsin either the front or the back seats, but never without a seat belt, and i wouldn't put them in the boot in case i was rear-ended.

As a general rule of thumb, cars are designed to protect people. So the seating area is generally a reinforced frame with crumple zones on each end to absorb impact. I have been in your situation with three dogs and a CRV. I ended up seat belting my dogs in the back seat vs putting them in cargo. A less than ideal trade off to be sure! At year end sales, I traded the CRV for an Odyssey van with 3 rows of seats. Hence the reinforced frame encompasses a significant part of the car. I now have several option: drop the rear seats into the floor and tie down two crates (am ordering tuff crates) when only traveling withe two dogs - which is most of the time; drop the rear and pull out one of the middle seats to create room for a third crate. Or pull out all the middle seats and then drop one or all third row seats for an 8'x4' flat floor within the reinforced part of the car to hold multiple crates and cargo. Pilots also have three rows of seats - and then there are options for three seat SUVs or vans from various car makers. I loved my CRV but ended up swallowing less gas Milage in xchange for a safer ride for my pups.

in crates, facing forward ( turn them after dog enters ) on the second row of passenger seat in my Nissan Quest; have to carry a wheelchair lift in the 'cargo' area - but the side doors have air bags that I cannot disable so crates get 'turned'- the passenger seats are turned 'down' so there is a flat area; and crates are bungied. Obviously this works for small dogs, would have to make different arrangements for a med or large dog.

Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Sunken King DLC review
The biggest criticism leveled at Dark Souls 2 was that it was too easy. Players who had spent hundreds of hours in the first game found that many of the same tactics worked in the sequel. Maybe you had to dodge left instead of right to get past the Pursuer's sweeping arc, but generally speaking, the old tricks still worked.
I thought about this as I died—again—while playing Crown of the Sunken King, the first part of From Software's three-piece downloadable content set. My old tricks failed time and time again, forcing me to relearn enemy patterns and try new tactics. For Dark Souls diehards, that's a good thing, though you'll have to slog through some drab environments.

I put this in the preemies section because I think you all are the most likely to have dealt with this, although it is not a preemie issue.
Alexander is skinny. Really skinny, but he's relatively tall. He's been wearing 2T pants, but they're getting too short. I need to get him some longer pants, but the 3T pants we've tried just fall off - even the ones with the adjustable waists. Even a lot of his 2T pants fall down too. Anyone recommend any brands that fit skinny/tall kids particularly well? I know Janie & Jack fit tall and skinny well, but I was looking for something a bit more affordable and suitable for play.
I don't sew, so I can't take them in myself and it seems a little insane to take toddler clothes to a tailor :)

Chicken Breasts with Wild Mushrooms, Thyme and Marsala
The only thing about not cooking your own turkey is there are absolutely no leftovers!!!!!! Therefore I made a pseudo Thanksgiving feast...plenty to be thankful for!!!!!! I served it with a Wild Rice and Cranberry Stuffing, Maple Glazed Acorn Squash, Creamy Chive Mashed Potatoes and Pumpkin Brulee for dessert.
**Chicken Breasts with Wild Mushrooms, Thyme and Marsala ** adapted from Bon Appétit February 2006
4 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves
6 tsp chopped fresh thyme, divided
2 T butter, divided
2 T olive oil, divided
12 ounces assorted wild mushrooms (such as oyster, stemmed shiitake, and baby bella), thickly sliced
1 cup sliced shallots (about 5)
3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 T dry Marsala
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then 2 teaspoons thyme. Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet and sauté until just cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter with1 tablespoon oil in same skillet. Add mushrooms, shallots, and 2 teaspoons thyme. Sauté until mushrooms are brown and tender, about 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl.Combine broth, cream, Marsala, and remaining 2 teaspoons marjoram in same skillet; boil until thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Divide mushrooms among 4 plates. Top mushrooms with chicken. Spoon sauce over and serve.
**Wild Rice & Pecan Bake**
2 – 10 –ounce cans undiluted chicken broth
1-1/2 cups water
1 large onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T. butter, preferably unsalted or 2 tsp. dark sesame oil
1 cup wild rice
4 green onions
3 large stalks celery
1 cup long-grain white rice
½ cup dried cranberries
1 cup toasted whole pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour broth and water into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, coarsely chop onion. Stir into broth along with garlic sand butter. Thoroughly rinse wild rice under cold running water. Drain well. Place in a baking dish large enough to hold 8 cups. Pour hot broth mixture over wild rice. Stir, then cover and bake in centre of preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions. Coarsely chop celery. Celery should measure about 2 cups. When wild rice has baked 20 minutes, remove from oven. Stir in celery, white rice and raisins. Return dish to oven. Continue baking, covered, until rice is tender and most of liquid has evaporated, from 35 to 40 more minutes. Remove from oven. Let stand, covered, 10 minutes to absorb liquid. Stir in green onions and pecans.
Serves 6 to 8
Serves 4

I'm so excited! I cannot wait to try this wild rice & pecan bake---it sounds just perfect for our upcoming Thanksgiving!ReplyDelete
That sounds like a really flavorful meal. I really like the sound this. Mushrooms and marsala make a happy MichaelReplyDelete
Hi Val! I love the sound of your menu. We usually eat thanksgiving elsewhere, but not this year, and I am quite giddy at the prospect of leftovers for dinner tonight.ReplyDelete
Loving the sound of the wild rice.ReplyDelete
That dish looks so good!!! I can't wait to try this. I think the girls will love it!ReplyDelete
Wow - looks great. Such a good combo too - I love rice bakes!ReplyDelete
Oh how beautiful, I mean it's just gorgeous! Happy Thanksgiving.ReplyDelete
The chicken totally rocks and good for a diet too.ReplyDelete
I love this! I've been hunting down Marsala in Malaysia which is kinda like looking for a needle in a haystack. If I do find some, I'm coming back for this!ReplyDelete
Val, do you think regular wine would work?
We shared in great Thanksgiving weather too! Hope your Thansgiving was restful and memorable.ReplyDelete
This is so perfect - the cranberries in the baked rice, that's divine and making your leftovers! ;0)ReplyDelete
We had a great Thanksgiving also. This is so nice to be invited by friends. Glad to know your daughter was with you.ReplyDelete
I made both the chicken and the wild rice bake for dinner last night. Easy and tasty. The chicken was a BIG hit with both husband and me, the herbs, the Marsala cream, and especially the mushroom/shallot mix. Mmm. I had the leftover piece of chicken today for lunch with some rice and mushrooms. Lucky me.ReplyDelete
The only issue was I forgot the cranberries for the wild rice bake (love that you subbed from raisins in the original). I bet the sweetness would have elevated the dish even more.
Thanks Val!
Thanks Val - now I know what to do with the chicken breast that's defrosting at home for dinner tonight! Mushrooms may not be wild as such, but I will definitely try an approximation of this delicious-sounding dish.ReplyDelete
Welcome to my home. Thank you so much for choosing to stay a while and for sharing our lives through food. I appreciate all your comments, suggestions, daily encouragement and support.

The Wayne County Internet Crime Unit has been disbanded and will cease to exist come the beginning of 2014. Why? It's not required by the Wayne County Charter."However, when that charter was drawn up nobody had heard of the Internet. So, no one has gone back and revised that charter," says Corporal Erin Diamond of the Wayne County Sheriff's Dept. The unit investigates more than Internet crimes against children, too. They investigate computer-device crime. "Any type of crime that touches digital evidence we handle. From homicides, to missing kids, to human exploitation, under aged prostitution, to deed fraud - a big problem in Wayne County, stealing people's houses - we take care of all that. We also provide services to the Michigan Department of Corrections, handling all of their sex offenders who have digital devices. If a judge says 'Hey, you can have a home computer but it's got to be checked' - we check it," he explains. Wayne County Charter. Wayne Co. Judge Timothy Kenny denied Sheriff Benny Napoleon's request for more money to operate . The judge ruled that anyone working for the Sheriff should be funded and staffed with the jail budget."In this day and age it's unthinkable. I mean, every case that you see on the news they got a cell phone involved, there's a computer, surveillance cameras. We're trained in all that," says Diamond.The unit is hoping it can get with commissioners in Wayne County, the Sheriff and the judge to see if something can be worked out. Online: www.savetheicu.org

Rode one time with it on and I am happy! I got it because I wanted something that would work a little better than a bandanna wrapped around my face while riding in the cold weather. It works great under my helmet and didn't stretch out after riding all day. The only thing that kinda stinks in the seam goes right thru the middle of your face... it is a little annoying at times. But I forgot about that most of the day, so it must not have bothered me too much. Would buy again.Read All Reviews

White House, Senate leaders in last ditch effort to avoid tax increases, spending cuts
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The end game at hand, the White House and Senate leaders made a final stab at compromise Friday night to prevent middle-class tax increases from taking effect at the turn of the new year and possibly block sweeping spending cuts as well.
"I'm optimistic we may still be able to reach an agreement that can pass both houses in time," President Barack Obama said at the White House after meeting for more than an hour with top lawmakers from both houses.
Surprisingly, after weeks of postelection gridlock, Senate leaders sounded even more bullish.
The Republican leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said he was "hopeful and optimistic" of a deal that could be presented to rank-and-file lawmakers as early as Sunday, a little more than 24 hours before the year-end deadline.
Said Majority Leader Harry Reid: "I'm going to do everything I can" to prevent the tax increases and spending cuts that threaten to send the economy into recession. He cautioned, "Whatever we come up with is going to be imperfect."
Indian woman who was gang-raped and severely beaten on a bus dies in Singapore hospital
SINGAPORE (AP) -- An Indian woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus in New Delhi died Saturday at a Singapore hospital, after her ordeal galvanized Indians to demand greater protection for women from sexual violence that impacts thousands of them every day.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he was aware of the emotions the attack has stirred and that it was up to all Indians to ensure that the young woman's death will not have been in vain.
The victim "passed away peacefully" with her family and officials of the Indian Embassy by her side, Dr. Kevin Loh, the chief executive of Mount Elizabeth hospital, said in a statement.
After 10 days at a hospital in New Delhi, the Indian capital, the woman was brought Thursday to Mount Elizabeth hospital, which specializes in multi-organ transplants. Loh said the woman had been in extremely critical condition since Thursday, and by late Friday her condition had taken a turn for the worse, with her vital signs deteriorating.
"Despite all efforts by a team of eight specialists in Mount Elizabeth Hospital to keep her stable, her condition continued to deteriorate over these two days," Loh said. "She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome."
Contract extension averts dockworkers strike -- for now -- at East and Gulf coast ports
NEW YORK (AP) -- Dockworkers along the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico agreed Friday to extend their contract for more than a month, averting a weekend strike that could have crippled major ports from Boston to Houston and bottled up billions of dollars' worth of cargo.
Talks aimed at reaching a new contract covering the 14,500 longshoremen will continue during the extension, which runs through Feb. 6.
The dockworkers' union and an alliance of port operators and shipping lines agreed to the extension after resolving one of the stickier points in their negotiations, involving royalty payments to longshoremen for each container they unload. Details were not disclosed.
Federal mediator George Cohen said the agreement on royalties was "a major positive step forward."
"While some significant issues remain in contention, I am cautiously optimistic that they can be resolved," he said.
US banks closing year with strong profits and fewest failures since 2008 financial crisis
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. banks are ending the year with their best profits since 2006 and fewer failures than at any time since the financial crisis struck in 2008. They're helping support an economy slowed by high unemployment, flat pay, sluggish manufacturing and anxious consumers.
As the economy heals from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, more people and businesses are taking out -- and repaying -- loans.
And for the first time since 2009, banks' earnings growth is being driven by higher revenue -- a healthy trend. Banks had previously managed to boost earnings by putting aside less money for possible losses.
Signs of the industry's gains:
-- Banks are earning more. In the July-September quarter, the industry's earnings reached $37.6 billion, up from $35.3 billion a year earlier. It was the best showing since the July-September quarter of 2006, long before the financial meltdown. By contrast, at the depth of the Great Recession in the last quarter of 2008, the industry lost $32 billion.
NRA envisions armed volunteers, but experts say trained police are needed for school security
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The student's attack began with a shotgun blast through the windows of a California high school. Rich Agundez, the El Cajon policeman assigned to the school, felt his mind shift into overdrive.
People yelled at him amid the chaos but he didn't hear. He experienced "a tunnel vision of concentration."
While two teachers and three students were injured when the glass shattered in the 2001 attack on Granite Hills High School, Agundez confronted the assailant and wounded him before he could get inside the school and use his second weapon, a handgun.
The National Rifle Association's response to a Connecticut school massacre envisions, in part, having trained, armed volunteers in every school in America. But Agundez, school safety experts and school board members say there's a huge difference between a trained law enforcement officer who becomes part of the school family -- and a guard with a gun.
The NRA's proposal has sparked a debate across the country as gun control rises once again as a national issue. President Barack Obama promised to present a plan in January to confront gun violence in the aftermath of the killing of 20 Sandy Hook Elementary School students and six teachers in Newtown, Conn.
With Chavez out of sight, confused Venezuelans don't know what to believe about his health
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- He's getting better. He's getting worse. He's already dead. The whole thing is a conspiracy and he was never sick in the first place.
The obsessive, circular conversations about President Hugo Chavez's health dominate family dinners, plaza chit-chats and social media sites in this country on edge since its larger-than-life leader went to Cuba for emergency cancer surgery more than two weeks ago. The man whose booming voice once dominated the airwaves for hours at a time has not been seen or heard from since.
His lieutenants have consistently assured Venezuelans over the last week that Chavez is slowly on the mend and will be back at the helm of the country he has dominated for 14 years. But when will he be back? Will he be well enough to govern? What type of cancer does he have? Is it terminal? If so, how long does he have to live?
Government officials have not answered any of those questions, leaving Venezuelans to their own speculations. The wildest conspiracy theories run the gamut from those who say there is no proof Chavez is even still alive to those who believe his illness is a made-up play for sympathy.
"Everything has been a mystery. Everyone believes what they want about the status of his health," said Ismael Garcia, a leftist lawmaker who belonged to the Chavez movement until a falling-out a few years ago.
Venezuela's vice president, others heading to Havana to visit Chavez after cancer surgery
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro announced Friday night that he was traveling to Cuba to visit President Hugo Chavez, who is recovering from cancer surgery in Havana.
Maduro said during the inauguration of a state governor that he and other government officials would fly to Cuba late Friday. He did not specify how long he would be away but said Energy Minister Hector Navarro would be in charge of government affairs in the meantime.
Maduro's trip comes amid growing uncertainty about Chavez's health.
The Venezuelan leader has not been seen or heard from since undergoing his fourth cancer-related surgery Dec. 11, and government officials have said he might not return in time for his scheduled Jan. 10 inauguration for a new six-year term. There have been no updates on Chavez's condition since Maduro announced Monday night that he had received a phone call from the president who was up and walking.
Maduro is the highest ranking Venezuelan official to visit Chavez since the surgery. Bolivian President Evo Morales traveled to Cuba last weekend in a quick trip that only added to the uncertainty surrounding Chavez's condition. Morales has not commented publicly on his visit or even confirmed that he saw Chavez while he was there.
NY mayor urges residents to keep 2nd fatal subway push this month in perspective; woman sought
NEW YORK (AP) -- For New York City, it wasn't an unusual sight: a possibly mentally ill woman pacing and mumbling to herself on an elevated subway station platform.
The woman eventually took a seat on a bench Thursday night, witnesses later said. Then, without any warning or provocation, she sprang up and used both hands to shove a man into the path of an oncoming train.
As police sought on Friday to locate the unidentified woman, Mayor Michael Bloomberg urged residents to keep the second fatal subway shove in the city this month in perspective. The news of the horrific death of 46-year-old Sunando Sen, who was from India and lived in Queens, came as the mayor touted drops in the city's annual homicide and shooting totals.
"It's a very tragic case, but what we want to focus on today is the overall safety in New York," Bloomberg told reporters following a police academy graduation.
The New York Police Department released a sketch of the woman and surveillance video of her fleeing the area and interviewed witnesses, including some who described her as acting agitated before the attack.
Central African Republic's neighbors agree to send military contingent to troubled country
BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) -- Central African Republic's neighbors agreed on Friday to dispatch a contingent of soldiers to intervene in the troubled country, where a coalition of rebel groups is seeking to overthrow the president of nearly a decade.
Representatives from the 10-nation Economic Community of Central African States meeting in Gabon, though, did not specify how many troops they could contribute nor did they outline how quickly the military assistance would arrive.
President Francois Bozize had pleaded for international help Thursday as fears grew that the rebels would attack the capital of 600,000 next. Former colonial power France already has said that its forces in the country are there to protect French interests and not Bozize's government.
"We are now thinking about the arrangements to make so that this mission can be deployed as quickly as possible, said Gabon's Foreign Affairs Minister Emmanuel Issoze-Ngondet.
The announcement came as military officials in Central African Republic reported renewed fighting in the third largest city of Bambari, which fell under rebel control five days ago.
Jean Harris, convicted of killing her lover, 'Scarsdale Diet' doctor, dies at age 89
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- Jean Harris, the patrician girls' school headmistress who spent 12 years in prison for the 1980 killing of her longtime lover, "Scarsdale Diet" doctor Herman Tarnower, in a case that rallied feminists and inspired television movies, has died. She was 89.
Harris died Sunday at an assisted-living facility in New Haven, her son, James Harris, said Friday.
She had claimed the shooting of Tarnower, 69, was an accident. Convicted of murder in 1981, Harris suffered two heart attacks while serving her sentence in the Bedford Hills women's prison north of New York City. She was granted clemency by then-Gov. Mario Cuomo when she underwent heart bypass surgery in December 1992 and was released on parole three weeks later.
She later founded Children of Bedford Inc., a nonprofit organization to provide scholarships and tutoring for children of female prison inmates.
Her trial for shooting Tarnower, the millionaire cardiologist famous for devising the Scarsdale Diet -- a weight-loss book and sensation of the 1970s named for the New York suburb where he practiced -- brought feminists rallying to her defense.
