As if Jay Pritchett weren't dealing with enough on the upcoming season of Modern Family, now his ex-wife is coming back to town!
Shelley Long will reprise her role as Dede Pritchett, the mother of Claire (Julie Bowen) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
Get the scoop on your favorite returning fall TV shows
Details on Long's return are being kept under wraps, but since Gloria (Sofia Vergara) is pregnant with Jay's (Ed O'Neill) baby, Dede should be in great spirits when she reenters the picture. As we all know, Dede is not the biggest fan of Gloria and even caused a drunken scene at the latter's wedding to Jay.
"We have a very funny story for her," executive producer Steve Levitan tells us. And for those hoping to see tension between Jay and his ex-wife now that he's an expecting father again, he promises, "You will not be disappointed."
What do you want to see for Long's return? Hit the comments with your thoughts.
Modern Family returns Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 9/8c on ABC.

Head over to the taxi office and see Roman, who will be hanging out with a new meathead friend of his who just can't seem to stop exercising and being annoying. Roman busts Niko's balls about not going online, and perhaps not even knowing how to use the internet at all. Regardless, he sends you off to a nearby internet café to get going with your online excursions. Might as well see what this World Wide Web everyone's talking about is all about.
The internet café you seek is called tw@, and it's located on Oneida Avenue in Outlook. It's an extremely brief drive from the taxi office, and the GPS will get you there rapidly. Once there, head on inside and speak with the women behind the counter, who will direct you to one of the computers. From here, you can simply logon and browse the net at your leisure, setting up an e-mail account first and foremost as you follow the on-screen prompts. Then, explore away, using your homepage to navigate to some pretty interesting areas of the web. Otherwise, this is an extremely brief mission, for once you head outside and let Roman you set up your e-mail via cell phone, the mission will come to an end.

Battle lines for 2014 are drawn
The 2014 midterm just got a lot more interesting.
The twin dramas of the government shutdown and botched rollout of Obamacare have snapped a sleepy 2014 election season out of its slumber, sharpening the battle lines for each party and setting the stage for a consequential midterm that few expected even two months ago.
Story Continued Below
The spring and summer months were filled with charges and countercharges about the Internal Revenue Service, wiretapping, Syria and immigration. Politicians recycled old attack lines and operatives confidently predicted control of Congress would remain status quo after next November.
No more. The parties' competing political narratives — the dangers of a tea party-controlled party versus the perils of President Barack Obama's far-reaching health care law — have been thrown into sharp relief the past several weeks. Now each party has something tangible to point to — that touch voters' lives in concrete ways — to argue that the other should be booted from office.
( PHOTOS: Senators up for election in 2014)
Republican lawmakers who seemed safe are suddenly looking over their shoulders, and Democrats whose election hopes were buoyed by the shutdown have been brought back to earth by the Obamacare mess.
Democrats still intend to run against what they call Republican extremism, as they did in 2012. But Republicans' willingness to shut down the government and bring the nation to the cusp of default, they say, has shown the public what the tea party's agenda means in real life — government workers paid to sit home for weeks, shuttered national parks, 401(k) accounts at risk.
It's a similar story with Republicans and Obamacare.
The GOP still plans to make Obamacare a centerpiece of its midterm strategy — tying Democratic candidates in close Senate and House races to the sweeping law — as it did in 2012. But the glitch-riddled unveiling of the Obamacare website, they say, has handed them a powerful piece of evidence to make the case that the federal government should never have thrown itself into the health care business in the first place. And they expect the next year to bring more stories of the law sticking people and businesses with bigger health care bills.
( Also on POLITICO: Right flanks join to push conservative goals)
"That's going to be the battleground," said Wes Anderson, a Republican pollster. "Which message is going to be the most salient to voters in the middle? Is it that Republicans are too extreme or that we need to protect the public on Obamacare?"
Democrats believe their anti-tea party message will resonate throughout the country, in every state and congressional district. With the tea party's brand deep in decline, they argue that post-shutdown anger extends to even the most conservative corners of the country.
Kelly Ward, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said in an interview that the focus on the tea party's agenda would work "everywhere," including in districts in Arkansas, where House Democrats are trying to snatch two seats from Republicans.
"I think the message is the same," she said. "This is all about the economy, and how their agenda is impacting people's lives."
( PODCAST: Questioning Obamacare glitches - who knew what, when?)
There's little doubt the fiscal fights have helped Democratic prospects, especially in the battle for the House, where the party faces an uphill push to erase the GOP's 17-seat majority. After the 16-day shutdown came to an end, the Cook Political Report upgraded Democratic prospects in 14 House races. Whether that momentum dissipates over the next year is an open question.
But with deadlines early next year to fund the government and to raise the debt ceiling, Democrats say another showdown — or even talk of one from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and his conservative allies — would reignite anger at Republicans and give another boost to their 2014 hopes.
"I think what's happened in the last month is obviously pretty important in the battle for control of the House," said Ali Lapp, executive director of the House Majority PAC, a group that boosts House Democrats. "This is the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats."
Democrats plan to affix the tea party shutdown label even to moderate Republicans who are at odds with that wing of the party. Republican Carl DeMaio, a former San Diego city councilman, is being called too conservative for the urban congressional district he's running in.

Saturday afternoon here at sun splashed Stillwell Stadium the Bisons out-hit Kennesaw State 10-7 and did not make an error, but lost 2-0 in game two of the three-game Atlantic Sun series.
Eight of the Bisons hits were produced after two outs.
"Quiet hits are not allowing us to score runs," Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand said. "We got opportunities with runners in scoring position today and Friday to have louder at bats.
"We gave up two runs and got 10 hits. We have to get some good fortune and we haven't gotten it right now. It will come."
In the second inning Sean McClurken led off the inning for Kennesaw State with a double that went to the warning track in right field. Aaron Dobbs followed with a ground ball single to right field that moved McClurken to third. Lipscomb pitcher Connor Sinclair threw a wild pitch that allowed McClurken to score.
"The windows are small," Forehand said. "That was one of their small windows."
The Bisons threatened in the fifth when Josh Chism slammed a triple to deep left center field with two outs. Chism, who also had a stolen base in the third inning, slid in under the throw for the triple. Richie Goodenow grounded out to second to end the inning.
In the seventh Drew Fowlkes led with a double into the right field corner. Fowlkes moved to third on a sacrifice bunt.
Sinclair was replaced by left-hander Gil Rehwinkel. The first hitter Rehwinkel faced was Bucky Smith who greeted him with a single up the middle to drive in the second run of the game. Rehwinkel walked Will Howard and was replaced by right-hander Chad Fromm.
Fromm walked the first batter he faced to load the bases. Fromm then struck out McClurken on a called third strike. He also stopped Aaron Dobbs on a strikeout.
In the eighth with two outs Goodenow and Tennyson Dodd reached base with back-to-back singles. Lee Wilson ended the inning with a fly out to center.
Shawn Mehring, pinch-hitting for Brett Teschner in the ninth, led off with an infield hit to the shortstop. Coleman went down swinging as the 10th strikeout for Kennesaw State pitcher Bryan Blough. Kyle Henry hit into a fielder's choice as Mehring was put out at second. Hoelzer kept the Bisons alive with a single to left field that sent Coleman to second.
Blough, one out short of a complete game shutout, was replaced by right-hander J.B. Johnson. Blough gave up 10 hits to the Bisons.
M.L. Williams, 0-for-4, went to the plate with runners at first and second and two outs. Williams hit the first pitch from Johnson to the shortstop who tagged second for the final out of the inning and the game.
Right fielder Lee Wilson was sporting a large red abrasion on his face. In the first inning he made the catch for the final out, but slammed into the wall. He was helped off the ground after a couple of minutes and finished the game.
"What a great play," Forehand said. "He ended up bumping the side of his face and eye in the wall. That was a game-changing play. We just have to make more big plays and make bigger plays than the other team."
Dodd led the Bisons with three hits, all singles. Goodenow and Chism each added two hits. Chism's triple, his second of the season, was the only extra base hit for the Bisons.
Sinclair, 1-3, scattered six hits and struck out three.
"We have to keep getting consistency from Connor," Forehand said. "He pitched great. We just haven't put any runs up for him. That's our fault."
The series closes out Sunday at noon. Right-hander Dannie Strable, 2-2, 3.86, will start for the Bisons. Left-hander Zac Griffith, 3-1, 5.57, will be on the mound for Kennesaw State.
The Bisons are 7-12, 0-2 in the A-Sun. Kennesaw State is13-8, 6-2 in the conference.

Canadian archaeologist has identified a small fishing village in Tonga, established nearly 3,000 years ago, as the birthplace of Polynesia.
Matangi Tonga online reports that Professor David Burley drew his conclusion from his final excavation at Nukuleka, east of the capital Nuku'alofa, six months ago when they found pieces of Lapita pottery.
"The big pieces of pottery are about 2,900 years old," he said.
"Tonga was the first group of islands in Polynesia to be settled by the Lapita People about 3,000 years ago, and Nukuleka was their first settlement in Tonga," professor Burley told Matangi Tonga online.
Professor Burley and his team say they have made their conclusions based on the designs of the pottery and carbon dating of samples.
"What we are trying to prove is that this is the first site in Tonga, and everything that we have found verifies that," he said.
Stuff NZ reports that the discovery is a blow to surrounding Pacific countries, including Samoa and Fiji, which have claimed to be the 'cradle' of Polynesia.

Columbus needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 62 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
I've written a music-notation-program. Its name is 'PriMus', which stands for 'printed music'. I need some good looking program-icon and an accompanying document-icon.
My own ideas and attempts can be seen here:
The idea is simple: take the 'p' from the musical character-set and
place it on a circle. The document-icon is the usual sheet with a small version of the progam-icon. Basically not bad, but the realisation is far from perfect, since I'm a programmer, not a designer and don't even really know how to use that icon-editors. So it definitly deserves some polishing. Or just some different idea. I'm open to it.
The font, which contains the 'p' can be downloaded here, the p is on position 97 (letter 'a')
- A clear, decent design, either polished my own approach or something different.

Like the Breton stripe and polka dots, camouflage is a neutral in our book. But, as Carven and Valentino proved for spring, and Michael Kors and Missoni echoed for fall, the wear-with-everything pattern also has the potential to go way beyond basic.
Forgoing your typical light-tan-and-olive palette in favor of electric blue and fuschia mixes, the rugged print is more eye-catching than ever right now. Click through to see what we mean and shop rad dresses, bags, shoes, and more just begging to be seen.

ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. researched Nikon's Image Authentication System, a secure suite validating if an image has been altered since capture, and discovered a major flaw. The flaw allows anyone producing forged pictures that will successfully pass validation with Nikon's Image Authentication Software. The weakness lies in the manner the secure image signing key is being handled in Nikon digital cameras.
The existence of the weakness allowed ElcomSoft to actually extract the original signing key from a Nikon camera. This, in turn, made it possible to produce manipulated images signed with a fully valid authentication signature.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for the New Yorker since 1996 and author of a number of bestselling books, will speak at the University at Buffalo at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 13, in Alumni Arena as part of UB's Distinguished Speakers Series.
Gladwell has been called one of the top 50 intellectual leaders of the decade and is known for his gift for interpreting new ideas in the social sciences, grounding them in academic research and making that research understandable, practical and valuable to general audiences.
He is the author of "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference," the 2013 UB Reads selection, in which he describes that magic moment when an idea, trend or social behavior crosses a threshold and spreads like wildfire. In his latest book, "David and Goliath," he considers "hidden rules" that he says shape the balance between the weak and the mighty, the powerful and the dispossessed.
TIME Magazine named Gladwell one of its "100 Most Influential People" in 2005.
During the program, audio and/or video photography, as well as still photography, will be limited to the first five minutes of his lecture.
Working media may reserve tickets for the program by contacting Christine Vidal in the UB Office of Communications at 645-4607 or firstname.lastname@example.com no later than noon on Nov. 13. Reserved tickets may be picked up at the will-call window in Alumni Arena prior to the program. Media may need to show press credentials in order to be admitted.

If you're not a U.S. citizen, you may not have even heard the term "affirmative action" before, or if you have you may not understand what it means.
Basically, back in the heyday of the black civil rights movement, a set of laws were passed under the heading "Affirmative Action" designed to force businesses and institutions in the private sector to show that they weren't discriminating against blacks by enforcing hiring quotas, admission quotas, and so on.
Now that it's been shown that a black man can even rise to the office of the Presidency, many are wondering if it's time for the government to get out of the enforced equality business.
Some would even argue that AA is dysfunctional such that if one sees a black person in a responsible position they wonder whether they got the job fairly by deserving it or unfairly through AA.
Others would argue that all the AA hand-holding isn't even good for blacks seeking jobs, an education, and to belong to agencies having to justify their stats to AA bureaucrats. They argue that the time is ripe for minorities, but especially blacks, to sand on their own feet and without the crutch of AA.
What do you think?
Views: 770
In South Africa we have AA I do believe transformation is needed, but in some aspects I don't agree. To get into University to study to become a doctor You have to have a pass rate at school of 50% if you are black and 80% as a white person. If you did not get good marks at school how are you going to get good marks at University.
Another problem is the students who get admitted to a top-level college because they belong to a favored group, end up flunking out because in fact they can't cut it (or the college dumbs itself down). That student would be better off with a degree from a B-list college than having flunked out of Harvard.
The problem is that students that can make the grade must take another course until one of the AA students drop out and space open up for them or they must do BSc in their first year to go over to medical in their second year, it is a waist of time and money in a country that does not have enough doctors
I was talking about the US but it sounds like you have similar issues!
Something not really all that related to AA that happens here is that students at universities get weeded out heavily during their first two years... so they can accommodate an influx of students getting in from 2 year colleges, for the third and fourth years. And those students are often of lesser quality than the folks who got weeded out.
I think that it has become so easy to use the term previously disadvantaged as an excuse. My parents could not afford for me to stay in school. I decided to do home schooling at age 38 got my high school diploma with marks high enough to be accepted at university and to start to study at age 39. I had no teachers or class room photo copied books from the local library held down a full time job and took care of two children. For me reality is that I was only going to get out what I put in. I think it is an insult to be told that you don't have to achieve because of your background. I think that it breeds the conception that you only have to put in half the effort and you can go to university.
There have been similar "affirmative action" plans put in place to have quotas for women on boards of directors or as elected members of parliament. While these plans are all well intentioned and sound good in theory most women appear to dislike the practise. There are better ways of moving forward. I think if the working hours and support services were put in place to assist people irrespective of their race, sex or colour then people would be empowered to pursue these vacancies. So they would be filled by suitably qualified people instead. They would not be taken as seriously if it was known that they only got the position based on a quota system rather than on merit. Of course it is the people above the various glass ceilings that have the power to change the structures and mind-sets that will allow others to become empowered and be able to compete in a transparent manner and on an equal footing.
Let's not forget, AA is about sex as well as ethnicity. And I'm talking about key lifesaving jobs. Some fire and police departments have been forced to lower standards in order to get more women in their departments so they can meet AA requirements. If a male firefighter is required to be able to get a 250 lb person out of a building by carrying or dragging, should the female be required to deal with only a 180 lb person. I weight 200 lb. If I'm in a burning building should I have to pray (figuratively for TA purposes) that the firefighter who finds me is a man and not a woman?
It's one thing to have a 50 lb lifting requirement for a male warehouse worker vs. a 35 lb lifting requirement for a woman. It's something else entirely to have sex-based requirements for a soldier, firefighter, or cop.
AA is blind to the fact that some work is a job but some is a service and for service jobs having differential standards for the sexes is dysfunctional.
We call it "Positive discrimination" in the UK, and I think we have a history of similar experiences with the USA. It probably wasn't thought through far enough - it was meant to give a kick-start to giving full opportunities to all ethnic or other minorities, but nobody considered at what point it would stop, or how that cessation should be triggered.
Although Affirmative Action really doesn't apply much for Indians/Asians in the US but wherever there is a (non liberal and non tolerant) White Majority and non white minority, Affirmative Action is always needed.
Look at the current debate in the US. They are trying to get rid a prominent part of the Voting Rights Act which is part of Affirmative Action.
The Supreme Court hears arguments today on a case that may well lead to the dismantling of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires many states, cities, and counties, primarily in the South, to get preclearance from the Department of Justice before changing election laws in ways that could affect minority voting rights. The argument for doing away with the section is straightforward: The South has come a long way since 1965, and it is unfair to keep singling the region out for scrutiny.
HECK NO, the South has not come along since 1965. Republicans in the US are trying to change this laws so they can start with their new Voter Suppression laws in which they are trying to eliminate early voting, and if you look at history, you will see that most early voters tend to be the elderly and the minorities.
I believe currently the good of AA still outweighs the bad of AA. Although AA is becoming more and more useless but in all reality, racism and discrimination is alive and well in the US. We will never get rid of it but until we come to a point where we have overcome enough of it, things like AA will be needed
Side Notes:
1)Wherever there is a non tolerant Majority regardless of race or creed, the minority group will always need Affirmative Action
2) Technically there is no need for it since we only have 1 race which is the Human race but unfortunately that is now how our cultures are based on.
1) WHERE is there a "non tolerant majority"? Not in the United States. (Where are you from?)
2) I saw that bumper sticker, too.

An incorported logo/emblem (which is desired, but optional) should be supplied in vector format so that it can be used on future stationary / vans etc. I am open to ideas on this, but initial thoughts revolve around furniture, woodwork apparel, polishing etc.
The site itself should be classic and classy. Open to a "web two oh" look, providing it retains these core ideals.
Site is of the "brochureware" sort, and will probably have sections such as: home, about, portfolio, testimonials, contact us. This may be subject to change, but obviouosly I can edit any .psd.
Please feel free to ask any questions, I should be online fairly regularly :)
- Monotype Corsiva (#006611) for the company name "Finishing Touches Surrey Ltd".
- Something that drips class and will appeal to the sort of audience likely to be employing the services of a french polisher.
- Vector for emblem/logo (desired, but not essential)
- .psd for the rest
Fonts other than Monotype Corsiva for the name

CHICAGO, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Striking Chicago teachers will be back in the classroom Wednesday after their union delegates threw their support behind the tentative contract.
About 800 members of Chicago Teachers Union's House of Delegates backed the deal in a voice vote Tuesday afternoon, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Crain's Chicago Business newspaper said two school district sources told it the union delegates had voted to send members back to work before rank-and-file members cast ballots on the tentative contract.
The delegates met behind closed doors to decide whether to end the first teachers strike in the nation's third-largest district in 25 years.
The walkout, which affected 350,000 students and about 26,000 school district teachers and other staff, hit its seventh day of classes Tuesday.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel went to court this week seeking an injunction to force teachers back into the classroom. A judge held off ruling on the request until Wednesday.
Emanuel contended state law prohibits teachers from striking over non-economic issues -- including layoffs and teacher evaluations.
The New York Times said the dispute centers on local concerns over job security, evaluations, pay and working conditions.
Parents delivered more than 1,000 postcards to the Chicago Board of Education Tuesday calling for an end to the strike. About 50 parents handed the postcards to security guards after schools Chief Executive Officer Jean-Claude Brizard did not to come downstairs to accept them, WBBM-TV, Chicago, reported.
"I'm hoping the delegates come to their senses and know that our kids need us," CPS social worker Mary Silva told the Tribune outside school headquarters.
The union delegates' decision came two days after deciding not to accept a deal struck by negotiators.
School district attorneys filed hundreds of pages of court papers Monday in a lawsuit alleging the union's 26,000 members had no legal basis to declare the strike.
The union called the lawsuit a "vindictive act."
"This attempt to thwart our democratic process is consistent with Mayor Emanuel's bullying behavior toward public school education," a union statement said. "If this was an illegal strike, the Chicago Public Schools would have sought injunctive relief on Day One."

A recently married couple–both in their late 20s from Florida–are visiting us on the California Central Coast this fourth of July weekend. Amid trips to Hearst Castle and the beaches and wineries, we have talked about their roots. They are old enough to know the outlines of family stories, but still too young to appreciate how much they will want this information in 20-30 years.
When grandparents and parents leave us, family stories evaporate. These stories exist in no online database, library, courthouse, or archives anywhere. I explained to our visitors, "The Internet becons, but you should start with your parents and grandparents. Valuable details of their lives and origins can disappear tomorrow. At the same time, online databases will only get bigger and better."
This is obvious advice to experienced family historicians, but not to young people who cannot remember life without the Internet. Their default button for learning more about anything usually involves a Google search and networking with Facebook friends.
The first thing? Not the Internet. Instead, save the family stories. Interview your parents and grandparents. You will never regret having the interview notes or perhaps even a DVD. Are you looking for your first genealogy project? This is it.

Marigold (Tagetes species)
Marigolds (Tagetes species), annual herbs in the burgeoning flowering family Compositae, are native to Africa, France, South America, Mexico, and New Mexico and are extremely popular with gardeners. A sun-loving plant genus featuring a wide variety of colors and flower-head configurations, this cultured plant is not groomed for its fragrance, which politely can be described as pungent.
View a second image of a marigold (Tagetes species).
View a third image of a marigold (Tagetes species).
View a fourth image of a marigold (Tagetes species).
There are four basic species of cultivated marigold, having dozens of varieties, including hybrids. African or Aztec marigolds, T. erecta, are marketed to meet a demand for large-flowered and tall marigolds. The large-flowered African marigolds are compact, erect, 12 to 14 inches tall, and feature 3.5-inch diameter flowers that bloom earlier than the tall breed and that include primrose yellow through pumpkin orange, but no bicolors. The tall African marigolds reach beyond 36 inches in height and feature large orange or yellow blooms that are grown for cut flowers. T. patula, the French marigold, is cultivated in large-flowered and dwarf varieties. Dwarf French marigolds do not quite reach 12 inches in height, and their flowers are small at 1 to 1.5 inches diameter, in yellow, gold, or orange. These continually flowering annuals (early summer to late fall) are well suited as border plants and in rock gardens, and feature a wide variety of flower shapes and arrangements, as well as bicolored yellow and red breeds. A variety referred to as the "mule marigold" by some horticulturists, a sterile triploid hybrid between the French and African marigold, does well in hot weather and is characterized by 2.5-inch diameter flowers that may be bicolored. Signet marigolds (Tagetes tenuifolia) are simple and daisy-like with long stems, forming bushy plants having fine, lacy foliage. Unlike most other varieties of marigold, the signets bear small, single yellow or orange flowers that are edible, with a spicy tarragon flavor. Unlike the other foul-smelling species, the foliage of the signet marigold has a pleasant lemon fragrance.
Despite the hopes and beliefs of many gardeners, marigolds are not effective for integrated pest management, according to recent research. Many home gardeners still subscribe to this botanical myth and plant alternating rows of marigolds in their vegetable gardens in a futile attempt to repel harmful insects. Although marigolds are rarely troubled by herbivorous insects and diseases, they can be infested with spider mites, aster yellows, and occasionally, are devastated by outbreaks of hungry hordes of grasshoppers.

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Six minutes after Plymouth State recorded the night's first goal, Courtney White (Medford, Mass.) evened the score at 1-1, forcing what would become an ECAC East conference draw between the Beacons and the Panthers Friday evening at Hanaway Rink.
White's game-tying tally would mark the first goal of the year for the sophomore. Assistant on the play was Kayla Kiernan (North Smithfield, R.I.) and Alexa Cappione (Massena, N.Y.). With Friday's draw, UMB now stands at 6-9-2 on the year, 3-5-2 in the ECAC East. For the host Panthers, they now hold a record of 3-11-1 overall, 2-6-1 in the conference.
Kelsey Maguire would score the lone goal for the Panthers at the 6:20 mark of the second period. On the night the Beacons would outshoot Plymouth 34-25, and would record the only shot in the five minute overtime.
UMB peppered the Panthers defense through the first two periods totaling 26 shots, while the Beacons defense held Plymouth to just 13 shots in the first 40 minutes of play. The Panthers did outshoot UMass in the final period 12-7.
Still tied at 1-1 through regulation, the two teams battled back and forth through throughout the overtime. Kiernan would put the only shot for UMass Boston on goal in the final five minutes of action.
Between the pipes Kailyn Burke (Franklin, Mass.) totaled 24 saves to earn her first tie of the year. The sophomore netminder now holds a record of 4-2-1. Ali Ponte made 33 stops for the Panthers, and has a record of 2-7-1.
Women's Hockey returns to action tomorrow at 4 p.m. when they travel to the University of Southern Maine.

Birds in Harmony; ECA bricks for McKimmon Center
Sprucing up Harmony Hall
The �Birds in Harmony� birdhouse show, sale and exhibition is ready for visitors to view all the bird-related entries in the second annual event at historic Harmony Hall, 109 E. King St.
The exhibition is free and viewable from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays through April 7. The exhibit will end with the presentation of awards by The Free Press at the annual Southern Brunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day.
Presented by the Lenoir County Historical Association, the brunch will feature country ham biscuits, hot soups, fried chicken, pasta salads, deviled eggs, assorted sandwiches, homemade desserts and iced tea.
Tickets are $20 adults and $10 for children younger than 10, available by calling Harmony Hall at 252-522-0421.
McKimmon Center honors women who built it
As North Carolina�s Extension and Community Association prepares to celebrate 100 years of service, members want to honor women who were in Home Demonstration Clubs, Extension Homemakers, ECA and any Extension agents who worked with them throughout the years.
ECA members and Extension agents � past and present � can be honored with a donated brick for the courtyard of the Jane S. McKimmon Center in Raleigh. The 4- x 8-inch bricks will bear the honoree�s name and be dedicated during a centennial ceremony Oct. 27.
Through Saturday, the tribute bricks are available for $100, with the cost increasing after that.
The N.C. ECA was started in 1913 as home demonstration clubs, later becoming N.C. Extension Homemakers. These volunteers have played important roles in their communities, from teaching food safety and home gardening to preparing the first school lunches and promoting community literacy.
In the 1920s, the club women statewide attended an annual weeklong course at the university taught by extension specialists and agents. The �Country Woman�s College� experience made such an impact that, in the 1950s, the women decided to raise money for a building of their own.
In 1966, they presented a $100,000 check to N.C. State as seed money for a continuing education center on the campus. The McKimmon Center for Extension & Continuing Education � named in memory of Jane S. McKimmon, the first leader of North Carolina�s home demonstration extension programs � today continues the mission of education for all people, honoring the vision of the women in home demonstration who made it happen.
To purchase bricks, or for more information, contact Trudy Pickett, Lenoir County Cooperative Extension, at 252-527-2191, or any Lenoir County ECA member. Online, visit go.ncsu.edu/eca_bricks.

TUNKHANNOCK (AP) - Hunters have bagged 58 coyotes during an annual hunt in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Organizers say 841 hunters participated in the Northeastern Regional Coyote Hunt, which ended Sunday and is in its 13th year. It's organized by District 9 of the Pennsylvania Trapper's Association.
The heaviest coyote taken during the three-day hunt weighed nearly 47 pounds and was taken in Susquehanna County. That county also produced the most coyotes - 16. Seven coyotes were taken in Luzerne County.
District 9 director Bill Kalinauskis says the conditions for the hunt were excellent this year, especially with snow in some areas.
Last year, 817 hunters bagged 53 coyotes.

Because I don't have enough hobbies, I bought myself an early Christmas gift from Mr. Diva. And yes, it is BRONZE to match my kitchen. Determined to justify this purchase, I proceeded to make some sugar cookies.
The first Sugar Cookie recipe I used was from the Kitchenaid Mixer booklet that came with the mixer. Conclusion: Rock hard bland cookies. Total FAIL!
Next up, I mixed up at batch from a recipe at Allrecipes.com which received great reviews. These cookies were at least edible, but not yummy like I had hoped. Another FAIL!
I'm going to try this recipe from Moms Who Think which uses half-n-half and this recipe from The Kitchn which adds lemon zest, almond extract and cream cheese. I'll let you know how they turn out. Do you have a great Sugar Cookie recipe?
On a brighter note, I made homemade mashed potatoes for the first time in my life. The mixer whipped them up effortlessly! They were delicious!
What do you make in your mixer? I need ideas so my mixer doesn't become a heavy paperweight (like my crock pot) on my kitchen countertop.
With friendship,
