CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Ohio River Basin is getting its own interest group in Congress.
West Virginia Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito and Ohio Democratic Rep. Steve Driehaus announced Monday that the two were forming the Ohio River Congressional Caucus.
Both representatives say the caucus was formed to address a variety of issues in the Ohio River Basin, including the economy, agriculture and the environment.
The Ohio River basin covers 204,000 square miles in parts of 14 states. The river forms in Pittsburgh and empties into the Mississippi River.
About 256 miles of the river's 981 miles serves as a border between West Virginia and Ohio.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd is healing faster than expected from a broken left collarbone and could be ready to play by Nov. 14 when the Fighting Irish are at Pittsburgh.
Floyd was in full pads at practice Tuesday but was taking part only on a limited basis. During an agility drill where quarterbacks and receivers ran back and forth between pads, Floyd and quarterback Jimmy Clausen, who has turf toe on his right foot, jogged along straight ahead beside the others.
"So you're on the Clausen program, huh?" Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis joked.
Later, while other receivers caught passes and were battered by pads being swung by trainers, Floyd mimicked catching a pass and ran through untouched.
Floyd had surgery on Sept. 20 to have a plate placed on the bone for reinforcement, a day after he was injured when he landed on his shoulder trying to make a catch against Michigan State.

It's not Obama's fault that Iraq and Afghanistan happened, but it will be his fault if he rushes into a threat-laden, pseudo-engagement with Iran at this historical crossroads in US-Iran relations.

Stock futures are little changed as investors wait for more clues on how the economy is faring.
The quiet trading Thursday follows declines in markets overseas that came after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and said the pace of economic activity has improved.
The Fed's latest assessment, while slightly more upbeat, did not come as a surprise, and a brief rally in U.S. stocks that followed the statement Wednesday quickly faded.
Investors are looking toward impending reports on jobs and housing. Investors will also be keeping an eye on the Group of 20 meeting in Pittsburgh.
Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 1 at 9,718. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures are up 0.60 at 1,059, while Nasdaq 100 index futures are up 2 at 1,728.

With the world's major economies having stepped back from the brink of a devastating meltdown, President Barack Obama comes to a global summit here pushing a slimmed-down agenda designed to prevent a repeat of the conditions that caused such panic a few months ago.
Obama will tell world leaders that the global economy cannot continually rely on huge borrowing and spending by Americans and massive exports by countries such as China.
In informal chats and fancy receptions at the two-day summit beginning Thursday, the buzz words will be "balanced and sustainable."
Obama gave a hint of the message when he spoke at the United Nations in New York on Wednesday. He said other nations cannot "stand by and wait for America to solve the world's problems alone. Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."
This is the third meeting of the Group of 20 top economies in the aftermath of the financial crisis that plunged the world into fear a year ago. When the G-20 met in April, the economies of the United States and many other countries were under severe strain, and world leaders largely agreed on common remedies such as dramatically increased government spending to provide some stimulus.
