LEAD: Stephanie Michele Kaplan, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David E. Kaplan of Longport, N.J., was married last evening to Peter Lee Goodkind, a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Robert Goodkind of Rye, N.Y. Rabbi David Weis performed the ceremony at Congregation Beth Israel in Northfield, N.J.

\"It was kind of like, 'Ugh,\"' said Stephanie Kaplan, the company's creative director. \"It was one of those moments when you realize, 'Wow, this is really a problem.\"' \"We actually had someone on our staff collect clips of people mispronouncing our name,\" said Stephanie Kaplan. \"It was funny, because once we decided to change the name, we started rooting people on, because we wanted more material. We'd say, 'Oh, I hope they mispronounce it, because we want another clip.\"' Ms. Kaplan laughed. \"That actually wasn't so bad,\" she said. \"Right after the mispronunciation, our Web site crashed\" because of heavy traffic. Despite the spoken error, the company's name was spelled correctly at the bottom of the screen, allowing viewers to find the Web site.

A MAN accused of trying to rape a 20-year-old woman and then fighting with her friend in a swanky Battery Park City hotel was held on $100,000 bail Monday.

Mas a Ms. & Mrs. [senhorita e senhora], que produz um kit para mulheres, uma bolsa colorida contendo spray para o hálito, prendedores de brincos, toalhinhas de papel absorvente e outros \"produtos essenciais para emergências\", foi apresentada incorretamente, como Mr. & Mrs. [senhor e senhora], em rede nacional de televisão. No caso da Pinch Provisions, o novo nome foi escolhido por fácil de memorizar e adequado aos produtos por remeter a \"in a pinch\", expressão que significa \"na hora do aperto\". \"Um funcionário gravou imagens de pessoas errando ao pronunciar o nome antigo\", diz [Stephanie Kaplan]. Ela diz que é cedo para dizer se a mudança afetará os negócios, e como, mas que a resposta até agora foi positiva.

A shortage of group homes around New Jersey means people like Kaplan have to wait longer than they were promised when the state announced an $80 million initiative in 1995 to reduce a waiting list of 4,360 people. The list has since grown to 6,300. \"There is still a large waiting list in New Jersey,\" says John Schuckle, director of the National Institute for People with Disabilities, which operates several group homes in Bergen County. \"When you meet with families, you want to be careful not to promise something you can't deliver.\" Kaplan says a \"self-determination\" plan wouldn't work for her daughter, who needs lots of supervision. Kaplan wants the security of knowing [Stephanie Kaplan] is getting 24-hour care in a group home.
