"Ted" Kaufman is the selected replacement for Vice-President-elect Joe Biden's U.S. Senate seat, representing Delaware. Kaufman is a member of the advisory board of the Obama-Biden Transition Project and Co-Chair of Vice-President-elect Biden's transition team.

Kaufman gained a BS in mechanical engineering from Duke University and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. For 22 years, from 1973 to 1995, he was on Biden's Senate staff, with the last 19 years as chief of staff. Kaufman also worked on Biden's campaigns. Independently, he worked as a senior lecturing fellow at Duke University School of Law, beginning in 1991, and in a private consulting firm. In 1995 he was appointed by President Clinton to the Broadcasting Board of Governors, where he currently serves his fourth term.

On November 24, 2008, Governor Ruth Ann Minner of Delaware announced at a press conference her intention to pick Kaufman to replace Joe Biden in the United States Senate for Delaware. He will be sworn in early to mid January after Biden resigns to become Vice President of the United States.

Obama Names Melody Barnes, Christina Romer to Economic Team

Melody Barnes Bio
Melody Barnes a U.S. lawyer. She is Executive Vice President for Policy at the Center for American Progress. She is also on the advisory board for president-elect Barack Obama's presidential transition team, and was named to be Obama's Director of the Domestic Policy Council on November 24th, 2008.

She is a member of the New York State Bar Association and the District of Columbia Bar Association. She is also a member of the Board of Directors of The Constitution Project. She received her law degree from the University of Michigan and her bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she graduated with honors in history.

From 1995 to 2003 Barnes served as chief counsel to Senator Edward Kennedy on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

She previously served as the Director of Legislative Affairs for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and as assistant counsel to the United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties..

Barnes began her career as an attorney with Shearman & Sterling.


Christina Romer Bio
She is a former vice president of the American Economic Association, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship recipient, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a winner of the Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award. Professor Romer is co-director of the Program in Monetary Economics at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and is a member of the NBER Business Cycle Dating Committee.

In 2008, the economics department of Harvard University voted to offer her a tenure-track position, along with her husband David Romer, but Harvard President Drew Faust vetoed Christina's appointment (but not David's). David refused to accept the solo offer. Faust's decision to veto Romer's appointment was widely criticized. David Warsh, an economics journalist wrote, "By any measure, Mrs. Romer is one of the most distinguished women in economics." '"Early onset Alzheimer's" is the kindest explanation I have heard from anyone currently in Cambridge,' wrote Romer colleague Brad DeLong. "Harvard would seem to have a great deal of egg on its face right now," commented Portfolio's Felix Salmon.

Capricorn One is a 1978 thriller movie about a Mars landing hoax

Capricorn One is a 1978 thriller movie about a Mars landing hoax. It was written and directed by Peter Hyams and produced by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment production company for Warner Bros.

Although thematically Capricorn One is a typical 1970s government-conspiracy thriller with similarities to Hyams's subsequent film Outland, the story was inspired by allegations that the Apollo Moon landings were a hoax.

The Rules Of An NFL "Free-Kick Field Goal"

At the very end of the second quarter in today’s Giants vs. Cardinals game, the Giants punted the ball to Arizona with 5 seconds left in the half. Arizona fair-caught the punt and then lined up for a “free-kick field goal”, which means the kicker gets to try a FG without the opposing team rushing him. There was no snap, and he got to take all the time he wanted to kick the ball.

I’ve never seen this before in my life (which is surprising considering how much football I watch), so I looked up the rules….and here they are.

What is a fair catch kick?

After a fair catch, an NFL team has the right to take a free kick from the line of scrimmage on the next play. If the kick goes through the uprights, the kicking team scores 3 points. It is also known as a “free kick field goal.”

What special rules apply?
1. There is no snap.
2. The defense must stand at least 10 yards from the line of scrimmage until the ball is kicked.
3. The kicking team may not use a tee. The ball must be placed or drop-kicked.
4. Even if time expired on the preceding play, the fair-catching team may still attempt the kick.

Apple Cup thread,Apple Cup 2008, Apple Cup time, Apple Cup schedule

The Apple Cup is the annual college football game between the two largest universities in the U.S. state of Washington; cross-state rivals the University of Washington (UW) Huskies and the Washington State University (WSU) Cougars. Traditionally, it is the final game of the regular season, played on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving at Husky Stadium in Seattle during odd years, and WSU's Martin Stadium in Pullman during even years.



First Quarter

UW gets a nice return which is wiped put by a personal foul.

UW starts at the 14 and Griffin picks up five on first down. Fouch intercepted by Pellum. Not a great start for Washington. Pellum took the ball away from Goodwin.

WSU starts at the 45. Tardy picks up around 4. Lopina tossed to Anderson for a first down and the Cougars are driving. Option for minus one. Lopina to Anderson inside the 35. Lopina sacked on the blitz by Butler. WSU forced to punt.

UW starts on the 20. Griffin for 3. Griffin for 8 and the first down. Griffin for five. Griffin for minus 2. Fouch to Gottleib and the first down. Johnson for 4. Jonson for zero. Louis Bland is a real good looking LB. Fouch to Goodwin for a first down. UW at the WSU 43. Johnson for zero. Fouch to Goowin but holding on UW (JWF) is called. Bruns lines up at QB and picks up a nice gain off a fumbled snap. 3rd and 14. Fouch is run out of bounds short of the first down. UW punts.

WSU starts at the 24. Tardy for 1. Lopina tosses one to Gibson just short of the first down. Flag on an end around to Gibson. Illegal shift. Toss to Gibson short of the first down WSU has to punt.

UW starts at the 45 after a poor punt. Griffin for 2. Griffin for 4. Fouch to Goodwin for a first down at the WSU 47.

Washington 0 WSU 0

Second Quarter

UW starts at the WSU 47. Pitch to Griffin and he takes it for 12. Griffin for 2. Griffin for 2. 3rd and 6 at the WSU 30. Fouch to Goodwin for a first down at the WSU 21. Griffin picks up 17 to take it down to the WSU 3. Griffin takes it in for the TD! UW is dominating the line of scrimmage.

Washington 7 Washington State 0

Cougars start at the 20. Lopina incomplete. Lopina to Gibson for 7. Lopina incomplete and WSU goes three and out.

UW starts on the 30. Griffin for zero. Griffin for zero. Fouch to Gottleib for 5. UW goes three and out.

WSU starts at the 22. Lopina to his TE for a big first down at the 44. Tardy stopped for a loss by Fogerson on a blitz. 3rd and long. Forrester intercepts Lopina but there is a flag on the field. Offsetting penalties.

UW takes over on the 40. Griffin for 4. Griffin down to the WSU 25. Griffin for 2. Fouch incomplete in the end zone into double coverage. He had Logan opened but didn't see him. Fouch to Kearse short of the first down. Perkins hits a 35 yard FG.

Washington 10 Washington State 0

WSU starts at the 27. Mitz for a few. Lopina back to the line of scrimmage. 3rd and long for WSU. Lopina to Gibson for the first down. Mitz for 1. Lopina incomplete. Another third and long for WSU. Lopina sacked back at the 30. WSU runs a fake punt for the first down to the UW 45. Screen to Tardy for 1. Lopina incomplete. Lopina sacked. WSU punts.

UW starts at the 8 with 31 seconds to go in the half. UW takes a knee in true Willingham fashion.

Third Quarter

WSU starts on the 20. Tardy picks up 11 for a first down. Tardy for 3. Mitz for 0 nice play by Butler. Lopina to Norell for the first down. Tardy for 3. Lopina flushed out for 2. 3rd and 5. Lopina incomplete and the Cougars have to punt.

UW starts at the 19. Fouch keeps for 4. Nice carry by Griffin for the 1st down. Fouch to Goodwin for 8. Griffin for 3. Griffin for 3. Griffin has 99 yards so far today. Fouch to Bruns to the Cougar 41 on a screen. Bruns has great speed. Griffin for 2. Fouch sacked for a big loss. Double corner blitz for WSU. Fouch almost intercepted on 3rd and 16. UW has to punt.

WSU starts at the 14. Tardy for 6. Tardy for 8 and a first down. The Cougars are looking pretty good. Seems like they are gaining momentum. Lopina for 6. Lopina to Gibson just short of the first down. Mitz picks up the first down and the drive continues. Lopina runs it to the Husky 35 but there is a flag down. Holding on Tardy. The Husky D is tiring out. Cougs at the 43. Mitz takes it 57 yards for the touchdown. We saw this one coming as the Husky defense is getting tired as usual in the third quarter. Quinton Richardson was sucked inside on that one.

Washington 10 Washington State 7

UW starts at the 20. Dailey for one. Why put Dailey in the game? Do we want to fumble? Dailey for 3. Dailey takes it to the 38 and a first down. Dailey picks up 11 to midfield. I guess I don't know what I am talking about. Dailey is looking good. Dailey for 4.

Fourth Quarter

UW starts the fourth quarter at the WSU . Dailey pops it down to the WSU 30. UW getting some nice push. Dailey for 1. Fouch to Gottleib for 7. Fouch fumbles and UW faces a fourth and short. UW will go for a 40 yard FG. They miss it. You have to really question that call by Willingham. The chances of UW making a 40 yard FG is pretty slim.

WSU takes over at the 23. Lopina incomplete. Mitz for 1. Lopina fumbles but the Coug's recover. UW punts and Aguilar returns it 54 yards but it is all coming back because of an illegal block in the back on the opposite side of the field.

UW starts at the 23 after the penalty with 10:31 to go. Dailey for 3. Dailey for 7 and the first down. Dailey for 7. Dailey for minus 1. Went to the well one too many times. Amazing how badly Lappano calls a game. Fouch to Dailey and a first down. Griffin for minus one. Fouch to Gottleib on a screen when WSU was blitzing for a big gain deep into Coug territory. UW at the 22 and Dailey and Fouch run into each other for a loss of 1. Reverse to Jordan Polk for a couple. Offsides on the Cougs. 3rd and 1. Dailey picks up the first down. Dailey pounded for a loss of three. UW is going to have to throw it to score. Fouch to Goodwin for 3. 3rd and 9 for UW. Fouch incomplete and Aguilar drops it. UW will have to try another FG. UW misses the 28 yard FG.

3:45 left to go in this stinker. WSU starts at the 20. Lopina to Norrell for 14. Lopina incomplete. Lopina to his TE for 3. Lopina was pounded by Fogerson on that play. Fogerson is a good looking player. Lopina incomplete. 4th and long for the Cougs. Lopina complete short of the first down and UW takes over.

Deidre Hall,Drake Hogestyn,Days of Our Lives fires its biggest stars

Days of our Lives is an American soap opera, which has aired nearly every weekday since November 8, 1965 on the NBC network in the United States, and has since been syndicated to many countries around the world. The series was created by husband-and-wife team Ted Corday and Betty Corday along with Irna Phillips in 1964, and many of the first stories were written by William J. Bell.

Deidre Hall
Career
Along with her sister, Andrea, Hall appeared in press materials for the 1952 Hudson Twin-H-Power engine.

In the 1970s, she appeared as the superheroine Electra Woman in "ElectraWoman and DynaGirl", a Sid and Marty Krofft children's show.

Hall appeared on a number of shows, including Emergency! (as Nurse Sally Lewis), and The Young and the Restless (as Barbara Anderson), before joining Days of our Lives in 1976 as Dr. Marlena Evans.

In 1986, Hall began playing Jesse Witherspoon on the family drama, Our House, which ran for two seasons. Hall exited Days of our Lives in 1987 when it became too difficult to co-ordinate her prime time and daytime schedules.

Hall continued to make guest appearances on a variety of prime time shows until 1991, when she made a dramatic return to Days of our Lives. Hall has remained on the show since then, and has been involved in some of the most controversial storylines of the show's history.

In 1995, Hall produced and starred in Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story, a made for TV movie about her personal struggles to become a mother.

November 17th, 2008 - According to Soap Opera Digest, Deidre Hall, along with Drake Hogestyn (Her DAYS Husband) have been let go from the show. They are to stop airing sometime in the new year.

Drake Hogestyn
Career
Hogestyn began his acting career by entering a Columbia Pictures talent search that included 75,000 people. Hogestyn was among the 30 selected, and his first starring role was on the prime time series Seven Brides for Seven Brothers . After a few minor roles, Hogestyn joined the cast of Days of our Lives in 1986. He initially played a mystery man referred to simply as "The Pawn," however, it was soon revealed The Pawn was the presumed dead Roman Brady. Hogestyn quickly became a fan favorite and enjoyed many popular pairings. In 1998, while staring on Days, Shelly Long wanted Drake to join her for an upcoming series, Kelly, Kelly. He was set to star in both until the filming of the pilot episode of Kelly, Kelly conflicted with his schedule on Days and the role went to Robert Hays.

In 1991, Wayne Northrop agreed to return to Days to reprise his role of Roman. In order to keep both actors on the show, Drake's story was retconned and his past rewritten. Despite this change, Hogestyn remained one of the show's most popular actors. The pairing of John Black and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is one of the show's enduring supercouples.

Drake's John Black character was "killed off" the week of October 15, 2007. It was rumored the character was officially dead and would not be back, but Days has a reputation for "killing" many characters and eventually bringing them back. In actual fact it turned out that John was not really dead at all, but had been abducted by long-time nemesis Stefano DiMera. As of January 8, 2008, Drake was back on Days of our Lives in the role he created. Confirmed on November 17, 2008, Drake, along with his long time co-star, Deidre Hall, are being let go from Days of our Lives due to budget cuts.
