Hungry for some good Texas seafood?
Southeast Texans, in particular, are noted for loving their fresh, succulent seafood straight from the local waters. If you have a hankering for some really good fried or broiled catfish, head on over to Mike and Terry Hamilton's Catfish Kitchen, located at 3620 College St. in Beaumont.
Plan on looking for a parking place, as the parking can be full to the brim, forcing a wait for someone to leave. Filled parking spaces usually mean good food is being served inside the restaurant.
According to Mike Hamilton Jr., the manager of the restaurant, parking is often that way and he is happy about the fact that old customers continue to return and new ones hear about the restaurant every day. Hamilton said he was literally raised in the restaurant business and remembers being taken to Tuffy's in Mauriceville, a restaurant his parents owned for some 10 years. He says he grew up knowing that choosing, cooking and serving good food was what he was meant to do in life, and he seems to enjoy his professional career very much.
Mike and Terry Hamilton, young Mike's parents, own the restaurant on College, but Mike Jr. says he is there most of the time. "Dad is a state representative and today, he is in Austin taking care of business. Mom (Terry Hamilton) handles all of the desserts and everything here is homemade, except for the cardboard on the bottom of the famous pies and cakes." Terry is also credited for decorating the attractive seafood restaurant with nautical accents. Many readers will remember the tasty homemade yeast rolls that were always a crowd pleaser at Tuffy's and will be pleased to know that they are available at Catfish Kitchen, as well. The waitstaff brings hot, fresh rolls to the tables as they come out of the oven.
Mike and Terry Hamilton's Catfish Kitchen has been open a little over a year, and the Hamiltons feel it has been a very successful enterprise. They continue to shop relentlessly for fresh seafood, use family recipes for the batter, seasoning and sauces, and serve up hot catfish, shrimp, lobster and steak, as well as many other mouth-watering treats as fast as the food can come out of the busy kitchen. Mike Jr. said one of the most popular concepts is the open buffet where you have the privilege of tasting many items for one low price.
The fried shrimp and catfish on the buffet are excellent. The fish was perfectly seasoned, not too much, and not too little, and piping hot. The shrimp was delicious and plentiful. The french fried potatoes in particular got rave reviews. Mike Jr. said that he was disappointed in some of the french fries he had been offered from food service companies and kept searching to find one that was different, held a lot of flavor, and meshed well with the other food. He finally hit on one that is battered in special seasoning before it is deep-fried, and it proved popular not only with Mike, but also with the customers.
"We do our very best to keep the buffet foods hot, tempting, tasty and readily available," said the young manager. "Some of our customers come in just for the buffet because every member of the group can get what he or she wants most."
The busy restaurant is open from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. until 3:30 pm on Sunday. The Hamiltons employ about 22-25 people to cover all of the shifts.

The markets today must reconcile two primary opposing factors. On the one hand, global economic statistics and earnings pre-announcements describe a listless global economy – not recessionary per se – but not healthy enough to really drive revenues and confidence. On the other hand, the globe's major central banks have all committed to indefinite and unlimited monetary stimulus.
So, our punch-counterpunch market has now entered the later rounds evenly scored. Breaking the stalemate between economic deflationary forces and central bank inflationary forces may require third party assistance. U.S. fiscal policy direction and Chinese stimulus plans represent potential tiebreakers. Unfortunately, we are unlikely to gain clarity on either factor until both nations complete leadership transitions. China's changing of the guard will occur at their Congress late next month while the U.S. hits voting booths in early November. Between now and then we must endure what should be an uninspiring third quarter earnings season. The backward looking results occurred without full central bank policy support, telling us little about the current environment. The forward-looking comments cannot incorporate the impact of unknowable U.S. election results or Chinese stimulus effectiveness. Therefore, absent a surprise, this market is temporarily closed for business.
Let's review the performance scorecard for the closing third quarter, and identify the protagonist for the fourth quarter.
First, the geographic perspective. Thanks to bold leadership from the European Central Bank, the European equity markets led global returns. Similar stimulus at home drove U.S. markets into second place. While Asia and the emerging nations participated in the rally, their conviction was low due to the murkiness of the Chinese environment. If China announces bold stimulus in the fourth quarter, they could vault from last to first like the Europeans and pull their emerging market vendors along with them.
Second, let's review currency returns. The "Hard" currencies or those tied to commodity producing nations like Canada, rallied strongly on global money printing. In Europe, commitment to the euro eclipsed the dilution effects of more euros, leading to a nearly 4 percent rally. Conversely, the U.S. dollar lost 4 percent. FYI, those who predicted European collapse: the euro has now gained .3 percent against the dollar in 2012.
Lastly, the sectors that should benefit most from easy money policies include those whose products price in dollars, namely materials and energy. While energy names advanced over 10 percent, materials names trailed the broader index. Why? Well, energy markets make a purer bet on quantitative easing as oil supplies barely meet oil demand. However, while materials mostly price in dollars like oil, the economic environment heavily influences performance. Materials would receive a more meaningful boost from Chinese fiscal stimulus aimed at stimulating economic activity compared to the boost received from U.S. monetary stimulus aimed at stimulating asset prices. In the fourth quarter, the stock markets will likely turn toward material names for leadership as they provide instant commentary on new political leadership in the U.S. and China. Could be a November to remember!

EPA Launches Video Project Asking Americans Why "Water is Worth It" (Deadline: September 14)
2012 marks the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, the nation's law for protecting our most irreplaceable resource. Everyone deserves clean water – it is vital for our health, communities, environment and economy. To help commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is asking people to send in a 15-second video clip about the important role that water plays in their life. Each video should include the phrase "Water Is Worth It," but the rest is up to you. EPA will post selected videos on its website and Facebook page. To learn more, visit http://water.epa.gov/action/cleanwater40c/video-project.cfm. Fill out a video entry form, and submit your entry as a video response to the promotional video on EPA's YouTube page at www.youtube.com/USEPAgov. Video submissions must be received by September 14, 2012. Grab your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, classmates, and pets and let us know why "Water is Worth It" to you!

EPA and Department of Veterans Affairs to Connect Veterans with Jobs in Water Sectors
The U.S. EPA and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs have announced a memorandum of understanding to connect veterans with disabilities to career opportunities in the water and wastewater sectors – such as at wastewater plants and drinking water facilities – as part of EPA's Water Sector Workforce Initiative. This effort will be beneficial to both the environment and economy as clean water and job placement for veterans are top priorities of the Obama Administration. The agreement allows EPA and VA to connect qualified veteran employees with staffing needs at water and wastewater utilities. EPA and the VA will work with water utilities, states and local VA counselors to promote water sector careers and resources for finding water jobs for veterans and as well as will provide educational programs to help veterans transition into careers in water industries. More than one-third of all current water operators are eligible to retire within seven years and, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment for water and wastewater operators is expected to grow by 20 percent between 2008 and 2018, faster than the national average for all other occupations. EPA sees the need to invest now in creating a pipeline of future water sector professionals to fill these essential water sector careers. For more on EPA's water sector initiatives and to view a copy of the memorandum of understanding: http://water.epa.gov/infrastructure/sustain/ws_workforce.cfm.

EPA Releases Fact Sheet on the Economic Benefits of Protecting Healthy Watersheds
EPA has released a new fact sheet as part of its Healthy Watersheds initiative describing the economic benefits of protecting healthy watersheds by highlighting examples from existing peer-reviewed literature and studies. EPA's Healthy Watersheds Initiative is intended to protect the Nation's remaining healthy watersheds, prevent them from becoming impaired, and accelerate restoration successes. It encourages interested states to take a strategic, systems approach to protecting healthy watersheds that recognizes the dynamic and interconnected nature of aquatic ecosystems. The fact sheet describes studies that demonstrate protecting healthy watersheds can reduce capital costs for water treatment plants and reduce damages to property and infrastructure due to flooding, thereby avoiding future costs. Additionally, examples in the fact sheet show that protecting healthy watersheds can generate revenue through property value premiums, recreation, and tourism. This fact sheet directs readers to important resources to learn more about the substantial efforts to monetize ecosystem services from across the country. This fact sheet is also a resource for those doing outreach to promote the protection of healthy watersheds. The fact sheet is available at: http://www.epa.gov/healthywatersheds.

EPA Announces Framework to Help Local Governments Manage Stormwater Runoff and Wastewater
EPA has issued a new framework to help local governments meet their Clean Water Act obligations. The Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Planning Approach Framework assists EPA regional offices, states, and local governments to develop voluntary storm and wastewater management plans and implement effective integrated approaches that will protect public health by reducing overflows from wastewater systems and pollution from stormwater. In developing the framework, the EPA worked in close coordination with a variety of stakeholders, including publicly owned treatment works, state water permitting authorities, local governments, and nonprofit environmental groups. EPA's framework outlines new flexibility to pursue innovative, cost-saving solutions, like green infrastructure, and will help communities as they develop plans that prioritize their investments in storm and wastewater infrastructure. For more information: http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/integratedplans.cfm
EPA Issues Post-Construction Compliance Monitoring Guidance
EPA has issued final guidance on conducting effective post-construction compliance monitoring to assess the performance of measures implemented under long-term combined sewer overflow (CSO) control plans, as provided in EPA's 1994 CSO Control Policy. This guidance will assist CSO permittees in developing post construction compliance monitoring plans that collect sufficient data for evaluating the effectiveness of CSO controls and assessing compliance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act. The Agency developed a draft of the guidance, and received comments from state National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System authorities and other stakeholders.

BTNEP Invasive Species Mini-Grant Helps Fund Wild Nutria Dog Biscuits
Louisiana-made nutria biscuits provide dog owners a healthy alternative treat that not only tastes good but also helps protect Louisiana's coastal wetlands.
Nutria significantly contributes to the alarming problem of coastal erosion by devouring critical marsh vegetation. To combat this problem, Louisiana initiated the Coastwide Nutria Control Program to reduce the nutria population and address the damage that they cause. The program, consisting of a $5-pertail incentive payment to trappers, has been a success as damage to marshes by nutria is on the decline. Beyond the incentive payment however, trappers find very little demand for nutria. They are an invasive species with few natural predators and very high reproductive rates. This means that the State will have to continue to spend substantial monies on the problem each year—monies that could otherwise be spent addressing other urgent coastal issues. Seeing this problem, Hansel Harlan, an attorney, and his sister Veni Harlan, a graphic designer, came up with the idea of using the high-quality nutria meat in dog treats. With that idea and a grant from the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program, Marsh Dog© was born.
Marsh Dog's premier product "Barataria Bites" is named after the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary, which, notably, is the fastest disappearing landmass in the world. The nutria used by Marsh Dog© are harvested from this estuary. The biscuits are then prepared, baked, and packaged in Baton Rouge. Marsh Dog© supports local farmers by using Louisiana products such as brown rice and sweet potatoes in its biscuits. The biscuits do not contain corn, wheat, soy, chemicals, artificial colorings or preservatives, or other additives, and are packaged in recyclable bags. Visit www.marshdog.comfor more information.

The lessons of Weiner and Spitzer
Turns out Mark Sanford wasn't an early indicator after all.
Of the three pols singed by sex scandal who attempted public rehabilitation this year — Sanford, Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer — only the former South Carolina governor managed to revive his political career, winning a special election for a House seat in May.
Story Continued Below
The three men have little in common other than carrying the taint of sexual impropriety. Still, there are lessons to be learned from Sanford's win — and from Weiner's and Spitzer's losses — about what it takes to return from the political abyss.
Here are six of them:
Humility and likability are key
This is especially true of Weiner, who had a window of good will when he entered the mayor's race and asked for a second chance. He claimed to be humbled by his transgressions, said he'd learned from his mistakes. A campaign rollout video was the picuture of a happy family, his wife Huma by his side on the stoop of his childhood home.
( PHOTOS: Scandal pols: Where are they now?)
But a fresh round of lewd pictures and messages that emerged mid-campaign — taken and sent a year after he resigned from Congress, and months after he and Huma gave a blissful-seeming interview to People Magazine about their family — began a downward spiral in the polls that Weiner couldn't stop.
But equally damaging was Weiner's defiant attitude. It was his personal life, he insisted, and he had answered people's questions already. He mixed it up with voters at forums and stump stops and got testy, repeatedly, with his media inquisitors.
Spitzer didn't have another bout of scandal during the campaign, but there was plenty of bad memories from the first one to go around. His opponent, Scott Stringer, hammered Spitzer in TV ads and in direct mail over the fact that the ex-law enforcer had broken the law.
( Also on POLITICO: Weiner's 10 crazy moments)
Sanford, by contrast, seemed genuinely sorry. Even people who didn't believe him conceded he put on a good show. The so-called "dance of the honest man" is necessary — even if you have to fake it.
The competition matters
It's a pretty small sample size from which to test this theory. But Sanford's primary opponents were widely regarded as weak, and once he got past them he had a huge advantage in the heavily Republican district. Voters who were unsure of Weiner or Spitzer had relatively well-known and plausible Democratic alternatives to choose from.
Had Weiner or Spitzer been able to get through the primary, they would have had a real shot at winning in the general. Many Democratic voters would have found it hard to pull the lever for a Republican in deep-blue New York City.
In the end, primary voters passed on Weiner and Spitzer when they had the chance to vote for other Democrats with essentially the same stances on policy issues — but without the stain of scandal.
Not all manner of sin is equal
This has become trite, but is nonetheless true. Yes, all three suffered from a sex scandal. But for many voters, sending pictures of his exposed genitals to strangers he met online, even after being forced to resign from Congress for said behavior, was too much to get past. They were also disturbed by Spitzer, who strengthened the laws against sex trafficking shortly before becoming a client of the Emperors Club in 2006.
( Also on POLITICO: Spitzer loses)
Sanford lied about his whereabouts, and used public resources to facilitate an affair with an Argentine woman. But at the end of the day, he fell in love, then left his marriage and became engaged to the person he described as his "soul mate" in a tearful press conference.
That seems to have made more sense to voters, and ultimately lent itself better to the redemption story Sanford aimed to tell.
What's more, both Weiner and Spitzer's apology tours had a perfunctory, we-have-to-do-this feel. Once those were over in about a week, they drew lines around themselves, saying they felt they'd answered questions about their scandals sufficiently and it was time to move on.
A spouse matters — and so does airing the truth early
The old adage in politics about the humanizing power of a candidate's spouse and family is never more true than in the post-scandal window.
For Weiner, the support from his spouse Huma Abedin was there out of the gate. She had urged him to make a political comeback, worked connections from her longtime work as a top aide to Hillary Clinton to help finance Weiner's campaign, and was one of his closest advisers.
( Also on POLITICO: Weiner concedes, flips off reporter)
But Abedin surprised many people who'd watched her recede from public view while working for Clinton when she stood by Weiner's side at a press conference when new scandal revelations emerged on a site called TheDirty.com.

More snow, cold head for Aspen
Aspen, CO Colorado
ASPEN " The snow in Aspen just keeps on coming, but it may be too cold to enjoy it by Saturday.
A winter storm that dumped up to a foot of snow on local ski slopes over the past two days has moved out, but another system is headed for Aspen Friday night. So are plummeting temperatures and a brutal wind chill.
On the heels of the winter storm warning that expired Friday morning, the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for the northwest mountains of Colorado, including Aspen and Snowmass, starting Friday evening. It extends until Saturday evening.
The weather service is predicting 3 to 5 inches of new snow in Aspen on Friday night, with lows of 5 below to 5 above and wind-chill readings of 8 to 18 below.
Saturday's forecast calls for yet more snow " 2 to 4 inches in town " and highs of 5 to 15, with wind-chill readings of 8 to 18 below. The weather service is predicting 2 to 4 inches of additional snow Saturday night, with lows of 5 to 15 below and wind-chill readings of 22 to 32 below.
The cold snap continues Sunday, when the weather service is calling for a 40 percent chance of snow, highs of 10 to 20 and wind-chill readings of 21 to 31 below in the morning.
The extended forecast calls for more snow Monday, along with continued frigid temperatures until Thursday " Christmas Day " when the weather service is calling for partly sunny skies and highs of 25 to 35.
Skiers and riders at Aspen and Snowmass on Friday morning found another layer of fresh powder on the slopes. Aspen Highlands reported 8 inches of new snow over the past 24 hours (and 12 inches over the past 48 hours). Snowmass picked up 7 inches over the past 24 hours, Aspen Mountain reported 5 inches and Buttermilk had 3 inches.
Sunlight Mountain Resort outside Glenwood Springs reported 7 inches of new snow on Friday morning.
Elsewhere around the state, morning snow reports for the preceding 24 hours included 7 inches at Vail, 12 inches at Telluride, 4 inches at Steamboat, 6 inches at Powderhorn, 24 inches at Silverton, 9 inches at Crested Butte, 6 inches at Beaver Creek and 4.50 inches at Copper Mountain.

Tech stocks: Netflix's surge, Apple's big day
Netflix is reaping the rewards of strong earnings on Wall Street, as investors await the financial results of another high-profile tech giant. Let's look at the tech stocks to watch Tuesday.
Apple earnings after the bell. The company's stock price could absorb another thrashing after it reports second-quarter earnings at the close of the markets on Tuesday.
Investor fears over the lack of another groundbreaking tech product has sent shares tumbling since reaching a peak of $702 on September 19, 2012. Last Thursday, Apple stock hit a 52-week low of $392 before rebounding slightly. Shares are up $3 to $401.90 in pre-market trading.
The question on many investors' minds is how many iPhones did the Cupertino, Calif., company sell during the last quarter. The signature smartphone has faced increased competition from rivals such as Samsung, which launches its highly-touted Galaxy S4 later this week. There's also the Android-based HTC One as well as the BlackBerry Z10, available in the U.S. since last month.
Netflix zooms past $200. Shares of the streaming media giant have rocketed 24% to $216.07 in pre-market trading after revealing it has drawn 2 million new streaming subscribers in the U.S. thanks to its original content.
The company now boasts 29.2 million subscribers in the U.S., Netflix said during its first-quarter earnings call. Netflix raked in $3 million in profit off $1.02 billion in revenue.
As Variety reports, Netflix has surpassed HBO in U.S. subscribers for the first time ever.
This year has been huge for owners of Netflix shares. On January 23, the stock closed at $103.26. It has since doubled in value.

"I dance upstairs tonight."
That simple and somewhat cryptic statement by one of the women in the production, "Nylons," aptly sums up the conflict some of the characters face.
"Upstairs," although never seen, is where the dancers strut their stuff "au natural." It is also where the best money can be made.
But, there is a price the characters—including a married diva, a gifted bartender and a struggling beauty—might have to pay for leaving the conventional and romantic dances downstairs for the excitement of upstairs.
"Nylons" originally appeared on Stage 52 last April and has now moved to the much larger Wilshire Ebell Theater for a one-night performance July 28 at 8 p.m.
"Nylons" is the fifth play written since 2005 by Compton-born, Moreno-Valley raised playwright Brandi Burks, and follows on the heels of the critically successful "Shhh . . . Quiet as Kept."
Burks said she was inspired to write Nylons because, "My last four plays have been based on gospel story lines. I feel like the religious people already have a solid foundation, and it's time that I reach out to the world no matter what religion or creed. I decided to get risky with "Nylons" and deliver a message that everyone should be aware of.
"Nylons are universal from the office to the church to night clubs.
Nylons range from plain to lace to fishnet and everything in between. Going from Gospel-based plays to "Nylons" is a way to show my creativity and versatility as a playwright."
Prior to this latest stage venture, Burks penned and produced "Shhh . . . Quiet As Kept," in 2009; "Men Cry Too" in 2008; and "Come Sunday" in 2006 and 2010. A 2005 production at the Los Angeles Theatre Center in downtown Los Angeles, "This is Not My Destiny" which sold out every night of the show, began the up-and-coming young playwright's string of successful productions.
The NAACP Theatre awards even recognized her talents with a nomination in 2006 for "Come Sunday."
Chicago native Tiffany Snow, who plays the lead role of Flossy, is a 2011 NAACP Theatre Award winner and she and the rest of the cast will perform to original music
Vincent M. Ward portrays the role of Kenzo. A Dayton, Ohio, native, Ward is a versatile actor and has played stage, television and movie roles that range from drug dealer to pastor.
Like her last production, Burks has also included live, original music, and the musical director for this show is veteran Cedric Lilly.
Lilly has more than 20 years of experience behind him and has performed with musicians including Roy Hargrove, Latoiya Williams, Vesta, Yo Yo, Bobby Brown and the Greater Los Angeles Cathedral Choir.
Tickets for "Nylons" are $35. They can be purchased in advance online at www.brownpapertickets.com. Additional information is available by calling (323) 600-7402.
The Wilshire Ebell is located at 4401 W. 8th St. in Los Angeles, just west of the intersection of Crenshaw and Wilshire boulevards.

Can you imagine piecing 1″ Half Square Triangles and having the seams match up in your quilt? Can you imagine doing this easily? Today's quilt features a fun "tool" or maybe it's better referred to as a notion that can help you do this called Thangles. Kati Spencer who blogs at From The Blue Chair used Thangles to make this awesome little 24″ x 25″ mini quilt that she aptly calls "Thangles Mini". Read on as Kati tells us more about this beauty and her love of quilting tools.
Tell us about your use of tools in quilting.
I admit I am a quilting tool junkie. I love tools and rulers that will make my life easier and improve my ability to quilt. I counted my rulers just because I was curious, and I have 20. I have used all but one, and have plans in the works for a quilt with that final ruler. I love trying new techniques and tools because you never know what you will love that will change the way you quilt. I once read about a 20″ square ruler on someone's blog and bought it for a wonky log cabin quilt I had in mind. It made all the difference in my success with that quilt and has become one of my most used rulers. Learning about the hera marker has changed the way I now straight-line quilt. Finally, I can use my rotary cutter with either hand, but most cutters aren't set up to be used in either hand. I discovered a cutter from Olfa that can be used in either hand, and it made cutting so much easier. Having good tools that are easy to use makes quilting much more fun for me.
How did tools make sewing this quilt easier?
To make this quilt, I used Thangles for the first time. While attending a class from Amanda (Hey Porkchop) at Sewing Summit, I won a package of Thangles. Finally, months later, I pulled them out and used them. I had nothing in particular in mind when I started other than using some of my favorite Art Gallery Solids and making something colorful and fun. These HSTs are 1″ finished. The Thangles made a huge difference in keeping consistent, straight seams while cutting and sewing these tiny triangles. I had so much fun putting these together. After finishing the Thangles section, I waited for almost two months until I decided to make it into a mini quilt that now hangs in my kitchen. I doubt I would have had the patience to make so many tiny HSTs were it not for the Thangles. It was a fun tool to try. I will definitely use them again on projects with tiny HSTs.
Tell us more about yourself as a quilter.
I love to try new things and challenge myself with designs and techniques. I don't feel I have a specific style. I'm as likely to be sewing a very traditional paper-pieced star block as I am to make a very wonky, improv-style quilt. I enjoy the variety in my quilting. It makes it fun and interesting for me.
Tool Used:
Kati used Thangles to create this quilt. Thangles are essentially pre-printed paper strips that are used to make perfect half square triangle blocks without measuring or trimming. The Thangles company offers Thangles in many sizes as well as project packs and they can be used to create any half square triangle based quilt.

Gloria DeHaven, Effervescent Star of MGM Musicals, Dies at 91
The Hollywood Reporter
By Mike Barnes and Duane Byrge
She wandered into Charlie Chaplin's 'Modern Times' and later appeared in 'Best Foot Forward,' 'Three Little Words,' 'Two Girls and a Sailor' and 'Out to Sea.'
Singer-actress Gloria DeHaven, the perky star of MGM musicals in the 1940s and a stalwart of show business for more than six decades, has died. She was 91.
DeHaven, who made her screen debut in Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times (1936) as Paulette Goddard's kid sister — her father served as an assistant director on the film — died Saturday while in hospice care in Las Vegas, her daughter, Faith Fincher-Finkelstein, told The Hollywood Reporter. DeHaven suffered a stroke about three months ago, she said.
The vivacious DeHaven, a studio player at MGM, appeared in a number of top films with leading stars, including Thousands Cheer (1943) with Gene Kelly;Two Girls and a Sailor (1944) with June Allyson and Van Johnson; Step Lively (1944) with Frank Sinatra; Summer Holiday (1948) with Mickey Rooney; The Doctor and the Girl (1949) with Glenn Ford and Nancy Reagan; Two Tickets to Broadway (1951) with Janet Leigh and Tony Martin; and The Girl Rush (1955) with Rosalind Russell.
In Three Little Words (1950), a biography of Tin Pan Alley songwriters Bert Kalmar (played by Fred Astaire) and Harry Ruby (Red Skelton), DeHaven played her real-life mother, vaudeville star Flora Parker. She sang the 1920s tearjerker "Who's Sorry Now?" in the film.
DeHaven also performed in numerous other movies, including Best Foot Forward (1943), Yes, Sir, That's My Baby (1949), Summer Stock (1950), Down Among the Sheltering Palms (1953), So This Is Paris (1954), Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976) and the dreadful Bog (1979).
Her last movie appearance came as a lovely widow and romantic interest of Jack Lemmon's character on the cruise-ship set Out to Sea (1997).
She played Annie "Tippy-toes" Wylie, a bisexual CB radio aficionado who also had an affair with the husband of Louise Lasser's character, on the fabled Norman Lear syndicated series Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and had a continuing role on the short-lived 1974 ABC series Nakia, starring Robert Forster.
DeHaven also appeared on the soaps As the World Turns, Ryan's Hope (playing a woman who for a while lived in a trailer camp) and All My Children.
Gloria Mildred DeHaven was born July 23, 1925, in Los Angeles, the daughter of Parker and actor-director Carter DeHaven. They were billed in vaudeville as the song-and-dance team "Mr. and Mrs. Carter DeHaven."
Her father was good friends with Chaplin. "One day I came to visit my dad on the set [of Modern Times] and they needed two little girls to be in a shot with Paulette Goddard," she once recalled. "All they had us do was eat bananas and run around. I said, 'If this is show business, I'm definitely in!' "

Customized Classic Trucks
One of the first things that comes to mind when one hears mention of the Detroit Autorama held in Detroit's Cobo Hall is the coveted Ridler award, or perhaps if one is a pinstriping enthusiast it would be the Motor City Pinstripers Art Auction headed up by "Yosemite" Sam Radoff each year that benefits the Rainbow Wish Foundation with 100 percent of the proceeds. Either way, there is one thing that is for sure, the Detroit Autorama has evolved into a great venue to check out some super-fine customized classic trucks.
For 2007, the International Show Car Association-sanctioned show was held March 9-11, with a general admission of $16; children 6-12, $5; and children 5 and under were free. Or if one went over to Murray's Auto Parts, one could save a couple of bucks off the admission and apply it toward the price of a grape soda. Well, no one seems to remember if grape sodas were actually available, but there is no question that "Tow-Mater" from the hit Disney/Pixar movie Cars was present in the show's special features section. For those of you who didn't get a chance to see Cars, Tow-Mater is loosely based off of a Tri-Five Chevy tow truck with the personality of a '61 Buick Le Sabre, or maybe it was an Invicta.
On the serious side, we thought that it might be interesting to mention that the '36 Ford three-window coupe that won this year's Ridler award has been owned by Ross Myers since he was 9 years old. Well, there's no sense wasting any more space with words when it can be filled with pictures of trucks. For more information about next year's Detroit Autorama, log onto www.autorama.com.

Photo of the Week: Haitian Mangoes Ripe for Market
August 02, 2013
The Haiti Hope Project is helping revitalize Haiti's mango industry and raise the standard of living for thousands of farming families.
A young Haitian farmer harvests Francique mangoes, a variety unique to Haiti and prized for its juicy, sweet flavor. Until recently, fewer than 5 percent of the mangoes produced in Haiti reached the export market, and farmers struggled to earn a viable income from their fruit trees. The Haiti Hope Project is helping create sustainable economic opportunities for Haitian mango farmers and their families.
The Haiti Hope Project is a public-private partnership comprised of The Coca-Cola Company; the Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB); the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); and TechnoServe. Haiti Hope aims to double the incomes of 25,000 smallholder farmers five years after they join the Project. TechnoServe is training local mango producers and connecting them to international markets. To date, more than 23,000 farmers – nearly 50 percent of whom are women – have enrolled in the program. This year, more than 450 tons of fresh mangoes were sold through Whole Foods stores throughout the United States, a 150 percent increase from last year.

Justin Budiac's (Sr. • Mukwonago) three touchdowns highlighted a school-record 684 yards in UW-Oshkosh's 38-24 football win over UW-Stevens Point on Saturday (Nov. 5) in Stevens Point.
The Titans (6-3/4-2 WIAC) overcame an early deficit with 24 straight points and never looked back. Nate Wara (Jr. • Oshkosh) directed the offense with 301 passing yards and 54 rushing yards. Budiac totaled 196 yards rushing and receiving, as he found paydirt three times in a span of 15 minutes. Following three first-half giveaways, UW-Oshkosh took control with three takeaways during the second half.
UW-Stevens Point (4-5/2-4 WIAC) took advantage of a Titan fumble to put the first points on the board. The Pointer drive started 38 yards from the end zone and featured catches of 14 yards by Mike Mullins and 11 yards by Theo Maglio. Keith Ingram ran the ball in from 10 yards out to take a 7-0 lead five minutes into play.
The Titan response took just 54 seconds, as Wara rushed for 26 yards on first down. On the drive's fourth play, Garrie Fox (Sr. • Madison) got free on a post pattern and snatched the 36-yard score to tie the game at 7.
The teams continued to run up and down the field when Colton Zimmerman returned the ensuing kickoff 62 yards. The Pointers had a decision to make on fourth-and-one, but Mitch Beau picked up the yard to keep the drive alive. Ben Wetzel finished things off with a two-yard touchdown run at the 5:59 mark of the first quarter.
UW-Stevens Point appeared to trap the Titans with a punt downed at the three-yard line. That was no problem for Budiac, with him breaking through the middle of the line for a 97-yard touchdown run. UW-Oshkosh missed the extra point to keep its deficit at 14-13.
Another opportunity went to waste when Cory Wipperfurth (So. • DeForest) fumbled through the end zone after reaching the one-yard line. He made up for it moments later with a 21-yard catch, as the Titans put together a quick drive to end the half. Wesley Price (Sr. • San Mateo, Calif.) posted a reception for 17 yards and a run for nine more. One second-and-goal, Budiac cut back and crossed the goal line from five yards out to lead, 21-14.
UW-Oshkosh received the second-half kickoff and booked another scoring drive that took less than a minute. Caleb Voss (So. • Van Dyne) hauled in a 49-yard pass down the left sideline to get in position. Budiac then got free over the middle and made a diving 28-yard catch for the touchdown. The Titans' margin stood at 28-14 just 45 seconds into the third quarter.
Taylor Goodman (Jr. • South Wayne) recovered a gift fumble to set up UW-Oshkosh's next score. Following seven straight rushing plays, Nate Ray (Fr. • Verona) converted the 19-yard field goal to make it 31-14. The Pointers then came back with a 13-play drive that resulted in a 33-yard field goal by Jared Fohrman.
The Titans got a late 35-yard touchdown pass from Nick Olla (So. • Kewaskum) to Voss that sealed the game. Voss recorded 84 receiving yards on the day, while Fox led the way with four grabs for 92 yards. Budiac contributed a career-high 149 rushing yards, as Charlie Weissman (Sr. • Colgate) added 54 of his team's 348. UW-Oshkosh's spectacular performance included an average of eight yards per play and 62-percent efficiency on third down.
Beau fired a 22-yard throw to Klint Hischke during the final three minutes to complete the scoring. Beau found his target on 19-of-40 passes for 189 yards, while he added 67 yards on 15 rushing attempts. Ingram posted 50 rushing yards and Mullins 69 receiving yards for the home squad. UW-Stevens Point finished with 313 yards and 4-of-12 success on third down.
Charlie Stueck (Sr. • Clintonville) paced the Titan defense with eight tackles and an interception, as the team marked six tackles for a loss. UW-Stevens Point had four players register at least a dozen tackles, led by 15 apiece from Joe Mleziva and Curtis Krump. The Pointers had been allowing 333 yards per contest, but UW-Oshkosh more than doubled that figure.
The Titans wrap up their season against UW-Stout on Saturday (Nov. 12) at J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.

* NHL and players reach tentative agreement on 10-year deal
* Federal mediator helps feuding sides reach new deal (Adds details and fan reaction)
By Steve Keating
Jan 6 (Reuters) - The National Hockey League (NHL) and locked-out players reached a tentative agreement on Sunday to end a costly labor dispute and salvage a condensed season that was days away from being canceled entirely.
The deal was announced jointly by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHL Players' Association (NHLPA) Executive Director Donald Fehr following a marathon 16-hour negotiation session that began on Saturday at a Manhattan hotel.
"We have to dot a lot of I's and cross a lot of T's. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework has been agreed upon," Bettman told reporters.
"We have to go through a ratification process and the Board of Governors has to approve it from the league side and, obviously, the players have to approve it as well."
Bettman said details on the upcoming season could be released later on Sunday and some reports suggest a 50-game season, down from the usual 82 games, could begin Jan. 15.
News of the tentative deal came just days ahead of the NHL's self-imposed Jan. 11 deadline to reach an agreement or risk losing a season that was originally due to begin last October.
With talks unraveling and the NHL on the verge of canceling the entire season, the 113-day lockout ended with the help of a U.S. federal mediator who enticed the two parties back to the bargaining table for a final push to make a deal.
The return of the NHL created an instant buzz across hockey mad Canada, with even Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper greeting the news with relief.
"Glad to see a deal between the #NHL players and the league. Great news for hockey fans and communities across Canada." Harper tweeted.
Many teams, particularly those based in the United States, are bracing for a fan backlash while owners and players begin to calculate the damage done by the lockout.
After four work stoppages in 20 years fans appeared mixed on whether to forgive or punish both sides for dragging them through another labor dispute.
The lockout took a toll on Canada's economy, specifically the many sporting goods stores, bars and other businesses that rely heavily on alcohol and merchandise sales during the hockey season, which lasts nine months when played in full.
"The NHL lockout piled on to what was already a slowing underlying Canadian growth rate in the fall," Doug Porter, deputy chief economist at BMO Capital Markets, told the Globe and Mail newspaper recently.
The dispute, which the league has said was costing it about $18-$20 million a day, or about $2 billion to date, began in mid-September when the previous collective bargaining agreement expired with both sides at odds over how to split the NHL's $3.3 billion in revenue.
Despite a new $2 billion television deal, record revenues and Bettman's boast that the NHL was enjoying unprecedented popularity, owners decided to once again test the loyalty of sponsors, business partners and fans suffering from lockout fatigue by seeking more concessions from players.
The dispute, the first since a lockout wiped out the entire 2004-05 campaign, is the second longest by the NHL and players and it is expected that fans could be slow to return to the arenas.
"NHL fans have been too quick to embrace the NHL after a lockout. Let players & owners know your anger by voting with your wallet." one disgruntled fan posted on Twitter.
Even some NHL players voiced their concerns for the likely challenge that awaits NHL teams who rely on less traditional hockey markets for their fan base.
"It's going to be tough, especially for some of the smaller market teams but at the same time hockey is one of the most exciting, if not the most exciting, game in the world and we have great passionate fans and they are very knowledgeable about the game," said Tampa Bay Lightning's Steven Stamkos, the NHL's leading goal scorer last season.
"You can just hope that they understand that this was a tough process for both side and we tried to make it as painless as possible."
With the two sides reportedly settling on a new 10-year deal with an opt-out clause after the eighth year, fans may not have to concern themselves about another work stoppage for a decade.
While players can claim a number of small victories, including a more favorable salary cap -- $64.3 million per team from $60 million -- it is the owners who once again won the war, securing the 50-50 split in hockey related revenues they had been seeking since early in negotiations.
Under the previous agreement players received 57 percent of revenues. The new deal brings the NHL more in line with deals negotiated last year by the National Football League and National Basketball Association.
The owners also got contract term limits for free agents set at seven years, or eight years for a any team re-signing its own player.
There are still many details to be filled in, including drug-testing and whether the NHL will continue to participate in the Winter Olympics.
With news of a tentative agreement in place, the hundreds of players who chose to ride out the dispute playing in European leagues must immediately join their NHL clubs for an abbreviated training camp.
There is also much work ahead for teams, who must quickly digest the new CBA and the rules they will operate under while filling out rosters.
New Jersey Devils netminder Martin Brodeur, who has endured three work stoppages during his career, said NHL players are prepared to put on a good show to win back disgruntled fans.
"I think for the fans it is going to be pretty exciting," said Brodeur. "Coaches know you can't afford to lose many games because a streak of three or four games winning or losing is going to decide whether you are going to end up in the playoffs or not make the playoffs.
"So it's going to be exciting but hard for the players, with a game probably every two days it's going to be like three months of playoff hockey." (Reporting by Steve Keating in Toronto; Additional reporting by Russ Blinch in Toronto; Editing by John Mehaffey and Frank Pingue)
