Jim Reed worked temporarily as a detective and Malloy filled in as Division Sergeant for several episodes also !
Cannot wait for it to come out on DVD !!!
I would recommend this series to anyone who has ever thought of going 10-8.
no sex,you go reed and malloy!
ill be sad when seven comes
Based on real police events around the City of Los Angeles, this 1974-75 Season finds the patrolmen busting scam artists, training rookies, working narcotics, searching for missing persons, tracking a suicidal man, dealing with a citizen hell-bent on taking the law into his own hands and more.
Created by Jack Webb as a spinoff of NBC's hit police drama DRAGNET, this 1974-75 Season of ADAM-12 caps off a historic run for one of television's greatest pioneering police dramas, especially for the LAPD, especially since Malloy & Reed were LAPD's finest patrolmen just like gritty homicide detective Sgt. Joe Friday(Jack Webb)and his faithful partner, Det. Bill Gannon(Harry Morgan)were LAPD's finest investigators.
Additionally, it's so nice being able to watch these episodes of ADAM-12 complete & uncut without all those deleted scenes you get watching them in reruns on Cozi-TV, ME-TV, Antenna TV, and TV Land.
So now that this 1974-1975 Season of ADAM-12 is released, I can now add it to my DVD collection of DRAGNET, HUNTER, CHiPs, and of course to the rest of my season collection of ADAM-12 on top of that.
BTW, Warner Bros.is releasing CHiPs- Season 3 out on DVD on March 3, 2015.

About the Author
Burt Anderson has been directly involved in the domain name business since its very early days in the late '90s. He has successfully bought and sold over two-thousand domain names, and maintains a dynamic "bank" of around five-hundred at any given time. He believes that anyone can apply the easy ideas in this book to earn money from home. A graduate engineer, MENSA member, and very dedicated internet infopreneur, he is the established author of eleven books. Married with four children and two great-grand-children, he lives with his wife of thirty years and their two great pups in Arizona's High Sonoran desert.

Don't waste your money on this, seemingly, self published book. Don't know how many pages are contained since they are not numbered! Does have a Table of Contents though, but what good is that without page numbering? Also has no index. Good news is, you can read it in around 20 minutes and, if you lose your glasses - not to worry since the type appears to be 20 pt. I suppose the book might have value for someone who has never heard of a domain name and/or is considering selling them for a business - that is, as long as he/she does not want to use it as a reference. Nothing here for me though.......not enough detail.
Thank you for your feedback.

Product Description
One of 12 leadership books to watch for in 2015" - Washington Post
"One of Wall Street's Must-Read Books of the Summer" - - Bloomberg Businessweek
"Whatever you want in life can be achieved if you break it down into a few basic rules. Well, that's the theory of these two business experts, and many influential figures think likewise." - The Times of London
"Can't convey enough how important this is Simple Rules is the nerd book of the summer." - Tom Keene, Bloomberg TV
"At last, a book offering an ingenious way to fight back against the relentless assault of complexity and its insidious spawning of untold confusions, costs, crashes, and calamities. Simple Rules offers an exciting framework for both understanding complexity and rendering it harmless. Whether you run an organization or are simply trying to survive modern life, this book is gold." - Chris Anderson, TED curator
" Simple Rules shows how a handful of thoughtful principles can not only sharpen the quality of your decisions, but also allow you to maintain latitude in your judgments and to see the richness of opportunity. We all deal with complexity now, and this book will show you how you can do more with less."- Michael J. Mauboussin, Head of Global Financial Strategies, Credit Suisse
"Our future will be increasingly complex, from accelerating technological change to global connectivity of federated teams. Simple Rules explains how we can manage to make meaningful progress in a world that exceeds human understanding. At DFJ, we use simple rules, like "invest in unique ideas" to support breakout winners across multiple industries undergoing profound disruption. This is a harbinger of the information economy to come." - Steve Jurvetson , Managing Director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson
"Sull and Eisenhardt have written the definitive playbook injecting sanity, creativity, and productivity into our workplaces and the other spheres of our lives. SIMPLE RULES is brimming with clever and surprising tips, lovely stories, and compelling research that will help you spot unnecessary complexity, eliminate maddening frustration, make the right decisions faster, and have a whole lot more fun along way." - Robert I. Sutton, bestselling author of The No Asshole Rule and co-author of Scaling up Excellence
From the Inside Flap
We struggle to manage complexity every day. We follow intricate diets, juggle multiple TV remotes, face too much data at work, and hack through thickets of regulation at tax time. Sull and Eisenhardt argue there's a better way: by developing a few simple rules, you can tackle even the most complex problems. Simple rules are a hands-on tool to achieve our most pressing personal and professional objectives, from overcoming insomnia to becoming a smarter investor. Simple rules can help solve our most urgent social challenges, from setting interest rates at the Federal Reserve to protecting endangered marine wildlife. Drawing on more than a decade of research, the authors provide a framework for developing and refining effective rules. They find insights in unexpected places, from how Tina Fey codified her "Saturday Night Live" experiences into rules for producing "30 Rock "( never tell a crazy person he s crazy ), to burglars rules for selecting targets ( avoid houses with a car parked outside ), to Japanese engineers using the foraging rules of slime molds to optimize Tokyo s rail system. Whether you re struggling with information overload, pursuing opportunities with limited resources, or just trying to change your bad habits, "Simple Rules" provides a powerful approach to taming complexity."See all Product Description

Whether you picked up this book for business or self-help is irrelevant.The concepts explained in this book are applicable to every aspect of your life. I can only speak for myself, so here's what I gleaned from the book: When to use simple rules and when to use something more detailed? Simple rules are great when flexibility is important whereas detailed rules are great when consistency is important.
The book goes on to detail different types of simple rules that are benefical under different circumstances, and how to go about crafting them for your individual needs and improving them over time.
The book also plays the devil's advocate to make a case for when to let go of your simple rules all together for a brand new set of simple rules or detailed ones.
At the end of the day, the question I ask myself AFTER reading every (non-foction) book is: what did I learn from this and how can I apply this EASILY? The book is short and succinct, so distilling what you learnt from it and how you can apply it is easy. So for me it gets a very hgih mark there.
The question you should be asking BEFORE reading this is: do I want more simplcity in my life, but didn't know how to get there? For me the answer was yes. The book certainly promises that, and I could sense the clarity with the few pages I read in the book preview. If this sounds like you then you should probably buy this book, and go through it with a highlighter. Re-read it again after the fact.
Donald Sull and Kathleen Eisenhardt explain the power of simple rules in terms of several substantial benefits. Here are five.
1. They save resources, especially time and energy.
2. They can be adjusted the given circumstances.
3. They help to eliminate confusion and consequent hesitation.
4. They provide a framework within which to improvise.
5. They allow flexible collaboration, especially under duress.
I cannot recall a prior time that was more complicated and more stressful than it is today for people to meet all manner of obligations in all areas of their lives. Moreover, on average, each of us receives about 8,500 "messages" a day that compete for our attention. Sull and Eisenhardt cite Warren Weaver whose pioneer research in the field of complexity (much of it conducted at the Rockefeller Foundation) reveals several valuable insights. Sixty years ago, "Weaver argued that simple and uncertain problems have largely been solved, and that the greatest challenges of the future would be problems of complexity. He was right." I presume to add, in this context, that one of the greatest challenges now is to simplify the process by which to solve complex problems. This is what Jon Katzenbach has in mind when suggesting the most difficult challenges for change agents is to change how they think about change.Read more ›
But I had a lot of aha moments reading the book and my musings lead me to solve several personal strategy issues that have been perplexing me. I have successfully developed some simple and unanticipated screening criteria and in other instances focused lists of "changing the things I can can change" Thereby gaining a manner of control over the things I cannot change. Great book
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
While the world is complex, simple rules describe the world in an actionable and valuable way. That is the central premise of Sull and Eisenhardt's book. This book is a guidebook to understanding, creating, deploying, and enhancing simple rules. The authors provide a comprehensive exploration and examination of the idea of simple rules applied across nature, personal lives, society, and business.
The authors treat the reader as an adult. This is not pulp business fiction that we see where one person is selling their wares based on a single story. The ideas in the book are simple, but their explanation in the book is rather dense. You have to read this book, rather than skim it; the discussion found in the book rewards the reader for their efforts.
The book contains the simple rules for creating and applying simple rules. There are three 'rules for rules' :
1. Figure out what will move the needle
2. Choose a bottleneck, a constraint that is holding you back
3. Craft the rules
There are two basic groups of rules. Rules for making better decisions include:
> Boundary rules – help decide between two mutually exclusive alternatives
> Prioritization rules – provide the basis for ranking alternatives and assigning
> Stopping rules – when do we reverse a decision or take a different course
Rules for doing things better include:
> How to rules – guide the basics of executing tasks
> Coordination rules – getting things done when there are multiple actors
> Timing rules – guidelines for when to take action
Each set of rules is the focus of its own chapter in the book.
Reading Simple Rules takes some persistence and focus but it is well worth the effort. The book's density comes from a rare combination of the author's desire to tell compelling stories and their academic background which calls for telling complete stories. It is a cross between the story telling style of a Malcolm Gladwell and the thoughtful prose and thinking of a Peter Drucker.
The idea behind simple rules and their application is elegant, actionable, and particularly helpful in the face of demands to be more agile and flexible.
The book contains multiple examples of simple rules developed by others and the context in which those rules work. This is critical to help the reader understand where the rules come from, why they are the way they are and how that can apply to you.
The book goes into the processes, approaches, and questions involved in creating simple rules. Across multiple instances, Sull and Eisenhardt share the behind the scenes thinking people went through to create rules.
The chapter on Simple Rules as strategy is terrific and should be required reading for any business executive.
The examples are rather long, but it is invaluable in building the understanding to apply these rules. It is a part other authors leave out, making their ideas seem more platitudes than practices. This book contains practices.
The case stories cross a wide range of situations from butterflies, honeybees to religious orders and up, and coming companies. The sheer breadth of stories illustrates that the ideas are real and readily applicable to multiple situations.
Chapters on applying simple rules to your personal life are illustrative and helpful. These chapters demonstrate the broad applicability of the idea as well as the context behind different situations where rules apply. These are not self-help chapters filled with assertions; rather they are the information needed for reflection to help you in a meaningful way.
The case stories are sometimes long on explanation which makes the book feel like a heavy read, particularly if you are used to skimming a business book for ideas. In this case, take the time to read as the depth of explanation often includes the micro-insights needed for execution.
Not every case story is business related. This may frustrate people as they wonder how the history of the Jesuits, California landscaping or strength training matter. However, they do not only to illustrate the examples but also to demonstrate the power of simple rules.
The prose is occasionally self referential, which is something rare in business books. While personal experience is helpful, it often adds words and weight to the book that is unnecessary given the other strong stories supporting these ideas.
Highly recommended and a book I will return to time and time again. Particularly helpful when you are stuck and the things that worked are not working. Chances are the rules need to change.
This is one of the best business books on strategy I have read. The authors define strategy: "Strategy, in our view, lives in the simple rules that guide an organization's most important activities." This book on simple rules has profound implications for success in achieving business and personal goals. Here are some simple features to appreciate about this book:
* simple thesis that is profound: simple rules are rules which are fundamental to successful outcomes. They vary according to domain but have some features in common including: there's only a handful of them for each activity, they confer flexibility while maintaining some consistency, they enable individuals to make quick decisions with limited information, they synchronize activities in a community, and they apply best to well-defined activity or decision.
* types of 'simple rules' are simply organized for your consideration into six broad categories
* discussion of 'how-to' on crafting simple rules for your life and business - a simple 3-step process described (p.123)

If you have ever suspected that a few simple rules underlie most successful outcomes in life, you should love this book. It will help to train you to consider and identify the simple rules for successful outcomes in the various disciplines of life which you care about. I found the book simply smashing. I will continue to use the ideas in it in future endeavors. One of the best books on business I have read because of its implications. And it's a good read.
(As an aside, while reading this book, I realized I had crafted some 'simple rules' for writing Amazon reviews such as: employ empathy and integrity, write what you want to read, don't give negative votes to put yours or others' reviews on top, it's good to spend more time on reviews for books you love, likewise not all reviews have to be masterpieces, it's okay to write a few reviews to amuse yourself, be creative and take some risks if you feel like it, when it's no longer fun change it up a little, and keep learning about writing and writing reviews.)
In other words, you could say that my motto is to use "as complicated rules as I can handle"
It's no exaggeration, then, to say that the authors and I start from pretty much the opposite side of the spectrum, and it is therefore with great interest that I picked up this book. Also, I went to the same school as the main author and he seems to have been teaching at the business school I attended (and at the time when I attended, funnily enough, though I don't seem to remember him) and that gave me the comfort to buy the book and learn something.
The book has three parts.
The first part of the book is an apology for and a wordy taxonomy of "simple rules," supported by examples. Rules for making decisions come under three categories: "boundary rules" (yay or nay), "prioritizing rules" (a > b > c) and "stopping rules" (e.g. when to acknowledge that you're going to have to propose to your girlfriend). Rules for doing things better also come under three categories: "how to" rules distil an art into a small set of principles; "coordination rules" are used by units of a large ensemble to lend it its macro properties; "timing rules" and "time pacing" rules guide when to take action. I could not tell apart "stopping rules" from "timing rules" but maybe that's just me.
Next comes a chapter on how to craft rules. Natural selection does plenty of crafting (I can see how most of nature's "coordination rules" are generated along those lines), but we are encouraged to "codify personal experience," "draw on the experience of others," "distil scientific evidence," and "negotiate an agreement" on what rules to follow.
Finally comes the third and longest part of the book, which is a laundry list of cases where "simple rules" were applied. I found it very tedious and evenly split between companies I never heard of that followed closely the advice of the author and famous/successful companies and individuals who did not really follow simple rules at all. In particular, four pieces of advice are given:
1. find what will move the needles;
2. choose a bottleneck;
3. craft the rules;
4. change the rules when the facts on the ground change.
The successful examples I'd heard of before only really seemed to be following the fourth piece of advice, which to me makes total sense.
I could have done without the last 110 pages of this book basically.
I can totally see how a single athlete or gambler or performer or criminal acting without ready access to a cheatsheet or a computer would do well to stick to a couple basic rules. But in a world where Formula 1 pitstop strategies are decided by teams of scientists using stochastic programming I think the whole concept is a bit of a gimmick, and sadly that's also how I ended up feeling about the book.

Sull and Eisenhardt are the world's foremost experts on the topic of simple rules. For years, both are leading researchers on how individuals, teams, and organizations succeed in overcoming complex challenges. This book builds on this cutting-edge research, finding a way to communicate meaningful insights in a very entertaining format.
The authors show how we can use simple rules to structure and simplify complex decisions. Recognizing the power of simple rules allows us to master personal, everyday challenges. For example, simple rules are a great way to increase productivity, minimize procrastination, or succeed in a diet. Once they've helped us make the right decisions, simple rules are also a great tool for implementing the decisions well. Simple rules are also highly effective for management. For example, firms like Google rely heavily on simple rules to manage their growth.
I really enjoyed reading this book, and I found it very useful in my personal and my professional life. The presentation is both insightful and entertaining, reminiscent of Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers or Charles Duhigg's The Power of Habit. The authors' use of different topics, be they college football, complexity theory, or medical care, to illustrate the power of simple rules was fascinating. In brief, this book is full of both perceptive ideas and memorable stories.
I've built a number of online communities, initially the rules were simple. As moderators joined the team, the rules grew. More rules, we needed more moderators. More moderators, the rules grew until they were impossible. As moderators left, I didn't replace them. Instead I cut back the rules. My newest communities have the simplest rules of all - Respect one another. There is NEVER an issue. Ever. In years. Seriously. Simple Rules.
In Simple Rules the author shows us examples where the simplest rules dominate decision-making, from Wall Street to the street crime. Did you know leaving a vehicle in the driveway could be the best deterrent indicating someone may be home? Interesting. 24x7 I usually have a vehicle in the driveway. My neighbors who rarely do? Yep, they've been burglarized before. Btw, they're home more than we are...
If your life has gotten crazy, Simple Rules may help you realize the methods to looking around your situation at home and at work. Simplify. Less really is more.
My Simple Rules include -
* standard power cords for electronics - tablet, kindle, phone, GPS, etc.
* I stopped buying special cleaners, pesticides AND herbicides. Now it's baking soda, vodka, white vinegar, salt, essential oils, Dawn. Between these I can make window cleaner to herbicides, plant and dog pest repellents too. When we're out, I make another batch in minutes. It's easier to keep a few staples in our pantry than all the chemicals. Safer too!
* no variety of credit cards to this n that store or cause. Credit cards ONLY from the place I bank. Online bill pay, too. Now paying bills takes literally 5 minutes twice monthly. How easy :-)
* oh yeah, our Depression Era fathers had the same rule - never buy anything on credit if you can't pay for it outright (except maybe a house). This rule saved us from certain financial ruin when the economy tanked a few years ago. We found we were both without a paycheck simultaneously. Scary. We got through it, likely due to our Simple Rule.

However, to a writer of Binchy's standard there are always great expectations and as much as I enjoyed "The Return Journey", in my opinion it's not one of her best.
The stories in this collection are uneven. In all of them the characters are interesting and the settings certainly pique ones curiosity. But while some are leading to a fulfilling conclusion, others just go nowhere and leave - at least me - feeling somewhat cheated. Not that life is not full of odd incidents with no particular meaning, but in a book of fiction one expects a bit of fairytale, unusual developments, excitement and, hopefully, a happy ending.
The abrupt endings leading into simply nothing, is the only flaw of an otherwise lovely collection of stories. Warm and thoughtful with lots of tiny observations along the road in true Maeve Binchy style.
My favourites are firstly "A Villa for Four", taking place in Greece. So real and alive, it's a true gem, especially for lovers of this country. Then "The September Letters", a story full of surprises which has it all - people from different backgrounds whose paths are crossing, leading to unexpected events and directions in their lives.
Almost 5 stars since what's good is excellent - 4 due to a bit too many vague and/or "missing" completions.

After helping the Blues (13-6-1) snuff out a pair of 5-on-3 chances for the Sabres, he stopped all three attempts in the shootout."Your best penalty killer is your goalie and again he made some big saves," said Alexander Steen, who scored the only goal in the shootout.St. Louis had dropped three of its previous four before getting power-play goals from Kevin Shattenkirk and Vladimir Tarasenko. It also has killed off all 13 penalties over its last three.''It was special teams and goaltender that won the game for us,'' coach Ken Hitchcock said. ''Penalty killing was outstanding. Power play, we scored early in the 5-minute power play ... and then had a great power-play goal in the second period. The guys that killed penalties, especially those guys that were out there on the 5-on-3, did an outstanding job.''The Blues improved to 6-2-1 at Scottrade Center and look to win a third straight there before heading on the road to face Buffalo and Pittsburgh.This will be the only one on the road during a nine-game stretch for the Red Wings (10-8-2), who beat Los Angeles 3-2 on Friday.Rookie Dylan Larkin scored for the third consecutive contest, but he briefly went to the locker room in the third period after his knee buckled during a non-contact play. He returned, much to the delight of coach Jeff Blashill.Larkin has seven goals and seven assists, ranking second behind Henrik Zetterberg for the team lead in points.''I didn't get a good look at what he did, but I know he had some kind of lower-body issue,'' Blashill said. ''I haven't talked to him, but he finished the game, so I don't expect it was anything serious.''Mike Green and Tomas Tatar also scored, and Zetterberg added two assists. Detroit also had Brad Richards back in the lineup after he missed 13 games with a back injury, and defenseman Brendan Smith returned after sitting out five with an illness.''We knew we needed to attack the net and create some chances,'' Tatar said. ''That's the only way we've been getting anything to go in.''The Red Wings will use that same strategy as they try to win a fourth straight meeting with the Blues. Justin Abdelkader scored on Allen in overtime for a 2-1 victory in the last matchup March 22.Steen scored the lone goal for St. Louis as Jimmy Howard made 23 saves to end a personal three-game losing streak to the Blues.Howard will be in net for this meeting as well after Petr Mrazek made 35 saves against the Kings, though he has just a .905 save percentage in his last seven starts.Zetterberg has just one assist in his last five against the Blues.

Poll: Will Utah Jazz fans forgive or forget NBA?
Ravell Call, Deseret News
OK, Utah Jazz fans.
You woke up Saturday morning — or stayed up in the middle of the night — and found out that NBA players and owners gave themselves an early Christmas present.
The two sides reached a tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement in New York City in the 3 a.m. hour (EST).
Fine print still needs to be written with small pens. Players have to become a union again. And the 30 owners and 450 players still have to ratify the new CBA.
But plans are set for a condensed 66-game schedule to begin on Dec. 25 with the originally planned three TV games, and the Utah Jazz are likely to tip off the following night.
The unexpected news made Jazz swingman C.J. Miles giddy and restless in the wee hours of the morning.
"I'm trippin right now foreal. ... I might not sleep until the 9th," Miles wrote on his Twitter account about 1:30 a.m. MT.
Miles, who will report to a mini-camp on Dec. 9 if the deal is ratified, then headed to the hotel gym for a middle-of-the-night sweat session.
"I have to," he wrote, "I can't sleep."
So, Jazz fans, is this CBA news going to make you sleepless in excitement?
Or are you still ticked off that you've missed all of the preseason activity and regular season games up to this point because of the 149-day lockout?
Will we see you at Jazz games? Or are you withholding your fandom and financial support in boycott?
Here's your chance to vent and vote about your reaction. Please vote, and do vent about the lockout or bask in the victory while you're at it.

I am loathed to say 'art for art's sake' but in this case, I must. The Director has tried to make a film which is innocent, gentle and believing purporting to represent the concerns of adolescence. The construct is around a 16 year old boy who receives his own digital camera for his birthday, and proceeds to record every aspect of his life ad nausea. His story follows the most important people in his life as one would expect, namely his mother, his best friend, a teacher and his step-father. At the same time there is an ever present under-current of self-exploration, which is only revealed late in the film. The direction attempts to show this experience and expression as a 16 year old boy with a camera would, and descends into a shaky at times forced artistic expression. Whilst such direction is fanciful and different, it begs the question.
The cast are surprisingly good, and the young Lucas Bonnifait is a strong presence throughout the film. His step-father whilst saying little has an unnatural obsession with his step-son (ironically there is no formal marriage between him and Etienne's mother) . At moments the audience is disturbed at his actions, although to the Director's credit he does not overtly offend. Similarly, his best friend's inane vanity and lust-filled obsession with girls who he clearly does not respect, makes for an excellent moral comparison with Etienne who is ultimately seeking love and not lust.Read more ›
The voyeuristic novelty of watching someones filmed diary soon wears very thin, and plot points such as the relationship between the lead characters Mother and her new lover (the teacher) are purely skipped over. After a very mundane middle section the film just starts becoming silly, with several farcical scenes (i.e. pointless ice skating, lover falls over cliff, lead character saved and seduced by randomly passing homosexual man, etc).
If you are looking for great French cinema or a decent gay movie then this is certainly not it. There are far, far better gay films to choose from and countless superior foriegn language films. Save your money and time and avoid this!

Hassan Ammar, Associated Press
DETROIT — A number of international companies have suspended operations in Egypt as three days of violent street battles make the streets of Cairo unsafe.
General Motors Co., Electrolux AB, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Toyota Motor Corp., Suzuki Motor Corp., BASF SE and others shut down facilities and told thousands of workers to stay at home during unrest that has left about 700 people dead since Wednesday.
"This was a precautionary safety measure to ensure employees would not be exposed to risks traveling to and from work," Daniel Frykholm, a spokesman for Swedish appliance maker Electrolux, said in an email. The company, which has about 6,700 workers in Egypt, asked employees to stay home Wednesday afternoon and Thursday. Friday and Saturday are the Egyptian weekend, and the company will decide Saturday evening if it's safe enough to resume normal operations, Frykholm said.
Royal Dutch Shell closed its offices Thursday. They will remain shuttered Friday and Saturday. The company also restricted employee travel as the violence continued and said it was monitoring the situation. It was unclear whether Shell's main production facility, a joint venture with Badr El-Din Petroleum Co., had been closed.
General Motors' Egyptian operations will remain shut indefinitely, including a plant in the Cairo suburb of 6th October City where it makes cars, light trucks and minibuses. The auto giant has about 1,400 workers in Egypt, where in 1983 it became the first private automaker to establish operations in the country.
At least 698 people have been killed in violence that continues to rage after riot police razed two Cairo encampments where supporters of President Mohammed Morsi were protesting his ouster.
Morsi was deposed by the military on July 3 after months of protests against his rule.
On Friday, at least 60 people, including eight police officers, died in fighting nationwide. Tens of thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters clashed with civilians, police and troops in the fiercest street battles to engulf the capital since the country's Arab Spring uprising.
In Cairo, German retail giant Metro closed its headquarters, and its only two grocery stores in the capital were shuttered on Friday, a spokesman for the Duesseldorf company confirmed.
The chemical company BASF temporarily closed its manufacturing facilities and offices. BASF has been operating in Egypt for about 60 years and produces chemicals used in construction at a plant in the Cairo suburb of Sadat City.
IHS Automotive analyst Paul Newton in London said that Toyota and Suzuki also halted Egyptian production. Because of the unstable political situation, the forecasting company predicted that light-vehicle production in Egypt would fall almost 8 percent this year, with sales dropping nearly 4 percent.
Egypt is one of the largest vehicle manufacturing centers in Africa, Newton said.

Bowers & Wilkins offers new colour choices for P5 and C5 headphones
Bowers & Wilkins now offers two new colour schemes for its hugely popular P5 and C5 headphones. While the new editions retain all of the audio performance characteristics that have impressed the Pocket-lint team in the past, there's more design choice.
As well as the conventional black pair, the Bowers & Wilkins P5s now also come in Ivory, which will match a white iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. They retain the rigid aluminium faceplate and premium-grade leather earpads, but offer a less blokey, more subtle look.
The C5 in-ear noise-cancelling headphones now also come in Satin Titanium as well as black. They too offer the same Secure Loop design and Micro Porous Filter as the original version.
Each of the headphones comes with an approved Made for iPhone cable, with in-line microphone and remote functionality. Plus, the P5 cans also come with a generic audio cable that suits all other MP3 players and smartphones.
Available now, both the Black and Ivory versions of the Bowers & Wilkins P5 cost £249.99, while the Bowers & Wilkins C5 in either Gloss Black or Satin Titanium retail for £149.99.

A stimulating approach
Dividend Tax
Since President George Bush unveiled his fiscal stimulus package on January 7, the cornerstone of that plan has generated widely differing reactions. The controversy centres on the proposal to exempt dividends from personal income taxes (removing so-called double taxation). The only point of consensus on the subject appears to be that few expect the legislation to pass in its current form. This is one key reason – along with myriad other distractions – why the equity market's enthusiasm has...

Utah Utes football: Team looks for redemption at Notre Dame
Ravell Call, Deseret News
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Utah's first trip to Notre Dame Stadium is special for a lot of reasons.
Most importantly for the Utes, however, is it's their first opportunity to put last week's 47-7 loss to TCU behind them.
A win over the Fighting Irish would also make folks in the program a little less agitated.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham doesn't have a problem with the demeanor. He pointed out that no one in the program wants a team where lopsided setbacks just roll off like water on a duck's back.
"You want guys that are competitive and get a little bit ornery and irritated when something like that happens," Whittingham said.
Focus and concentration have been strong as the Utes respond to the shortcoming.
"We've really bounced back. We're positive. We have a lot of things to be thankful for right now, and we're really counting our blessings as a football team," said senior captain Zane Taylor. "We still have a ton to play for and everything. So we're keeping that in mind. This can still be a great season."
At 8-1 overall, the Utes are No. 14 in the Bowl Championship Series standings and 15th in both major polls.
Now comes a game on NBC against the Fighting Irish.
"We're just excited to have the opportunity to go and play at Notre Dame," Taylor said. "It's going to be a great experience for everybody, I'm sure."
Returning to a big stage, a week after hosting ESPN's "College GameDay," has the Utes thinking about redemption.
"Definitely. This is a huge opportunity right now," Taylor said. "We are going to play a team with a lot of winning tradition. We're on national TV. We're going to have millions of people watching us. So this is definitely a great week to kind of bounce back and kind of rebound from last week.
"I'm really excited about this game. They're a good team. I don't think their record (4-5) really shows how good they are.
"This is going to be a fun game, a challenging game, and I think our fans are really going to enjoy it," he added.
Notre Dame could pose a difficult challenge. The Fighting Irish, however, have been riddled with injuries. Quarterback Dayne Crist, running back Armando Allen, tight end Kyle Rudolph, wide receiver Theo Riddick and nose guard Ian Williams are among those sidelined.
Whittingham, though, had a stern response to the subject. He noted that the Fighting Irish still have plenty of talent available, including a lot of size and speed.
"Everyone's got injuries. Everyone in the country's got injuries," he said in declining to address them. "Injuries are a non-factor in this game because they are such a factor for everybody. It doesn't make sense to whine about them, or talk about them, or make excuses about them. You just move forward."
The latter applies to Utah's damaging loss to TCU as well.
"I think we're in good shape," said Whittingham, who noted that the Utes had very good practices this week. "Everyone still feels the sting of the game, but it's working out of our system."
A win at Notre Dame would help expedite things.
"We're going to have fun, and we're going to take care of business," Taylor predicted.
And it sounds as if a lesson was learned a week ago, even if TCU was decidedly better than Utah.
"The thing is you've got to show up every Saturday because what you've done in the past doesn't mean anything," Taylor said. "What you do that Saturday is what it all means. So we've got to come out, play our game, play our best football, and we should be all right."

One can be traced back to a person in Washington D.C., while the other dates back twenty years as the number of the Dallas Police Department. Now someone out there wants the two cops buried deeper than the $800,000, as it soon becomes apparent that they've stumbled onto more than just a murder. They may have stumbled on evidence that leads to the forces behind THE murder: the assassination of JFK.
