The Fox and the Hound is a 1981 American animated film loosely based on the Daniel P. Mannix novel of the same name, produced by Walt Disney Productions and released in the United States on July 10, 1981. The 24th film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, the film tells the story of two unlikely friends, a red fox named Tod and a hound dog named Copper, who struggle to preserve their friendship despite their emerging instincts and the surrounding social pressures demanding them to be adversaries.
The film is directed by Ted Berman and Richard Rich and features the voices of Kurt Russell, Mickey Rooney, Pearl Bailey, Pat Buttram, Sandy Duncan, Richard Bakalyan, Paul Winchell, Jack Albertson, Jeanette Nolan, John Fiedler, John McIntire, Keith Coogan, and Corey Feldman. At the time of release it was the most expensive animated film produced to date, costing $12 million.[1] A direct-to-video midquel, The Fox and the Hound 2, was released to DVD on December 12, 2006.
After a young red fox is orphaned, Big Mama the owl, Boomer the woodpecker, and Dinky the finch arrange for him to be adopted by Widow Tweed. Tweed names him Tod, since he reminds her of a toddler. Meanwhile, Tweed's neighbor, Amos Slade, brings home a young hound puppy named Copper and introduces him to his hunting dog Chief. Tod and Copper become playmates, and vow to remain "friends forever". Slade grows frustrated at Copper for constantly wandering off to play, and places him on a leash. While playing with Copper at his home, Tod awakens Chief. Slade and Chief chase him until they are confronted by Tweed. After a brief argument, Slade says that he will kill Tod if he enters his farm again. Hunting season comes and Slade takes his dogs into the wilderness for the interim. Meanwhile, Big Mama explains to Tod that his friendship with Copper cannot continue, as they are natural enemies, but Tod refuses to accept this.
Months pass, and both Tod and Copper reach adulthood. On the night of Copper's return, Tod sneaks over to meet him. Copper explains that while he still values Tod as a friend, he is now a hunting dog and things are different. Chief awakens and alerts Slade, a chase ensues and Copper catches Tod. Copper lets Tod go then diverts Chief and Slade. Chief maintains his pursuit onto a railroad track where he is struck by an oncoming train and wounded. Copper and Slade blame Tod for the accident and swear vengeance. Tweed, now realizing that her pet is no longer safe with her, leaves him at a game preserve.
After a rough first night, Todd adjusts to life in the forest when Big Mama introduces him to a female fox named Vixey. Slade and Copper trespass into the preserve and hunt the two foxes. The lovers narrowly escape and Slade and Copper inadvertently provoke an attack from a bear. Slade trips and gets caught in one of his traps, dropping his gun slightly out of reach. Copper fights the bear but is no match for it. Not willing to let his old friend die, Tod rushes in and fights the bear until they both fall down a waterfall. With the bear gone, a bewildered Copper approaches Tod as he lies exhausted at the bottom of a waterfall-created lake. When Slade appears, ready to fire at Tod, Copper, having realized that Tod is truly his friend, positions in front of Tod, and refuses to move away. Slade, now realizing that Tod saved both of them, lowers his gun and leaves with Copper. Tod and Copper share one last smile before parting. At home, Tweed nurses Slade back to health while the dogs rest. Copper, before resting, smiles as he remembers the day when he became friends with Tod. On a hill Vixey joins Tod as he looks down on the homes of Copper and Tweed.

Daniel Mannix's novel The Fox and the Hound dealt with the quest of a hunter and his dog Copper to shoot Tod after he killed the hunter's new dog Chief. The novel was mainly about Tod's life in the woods. While he was raised by humans he was not childhood friends with Copper and none of the animals spoke. The story was changed to make it more suitable for a family film; instead of a story about the life and death of a fox, it became a parable about how society determines one's role despite his or her better impulses.[3]
Design and animation
Production of the film began in 1977.[4] The film marked a turning point in the studio: Walt Disney's "Nine Old Men" did initial development of the animation, but by the end of production the younger set of Disney animators completed the production process.[5][6][7] Wolfgang Reitherman was producer, and championed staying true to the novel, and Larry Clemmons was head of the story team. Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston did much of the early development of the main characters. The newer generation of directors and animators, such as Don Bluth (who previously worked on films like Sleeping Beauty and The Sword in the Stone) and started with John Lasseter, John Musker, Ron Clements, Glen Keane, Tim Burton, Brad Bird and Henry Selick. would finalize the animation and complete the film's production. These animators had moved through the in-house animation training program, and would all play an important role in the Disney Renaissance of the eighties and nineties.[5]
However, the transition between the old guard and the new resulted in arguments over how to handle the film. Reitherman had his own ideas on the designs and layouts that should be used, but the newer team backed Stevens. Animator Don Bluth declared Disney's work "stale" and walked out with eleven others to form his own studio. With 17% of the animators now gone, production on The Fox and the Hound was delayed.[4] Bluth had animated Widow Tweed and her cow, Abigail, and his team worked on the rest of the sequence. The exodus of so many animators forced the cancellation of the film's original Christmas 1980 premiere while new artists were hired.[8] Four years after production started the film was finished with approximately 360,000 drawings, 110,000 painted cels and 1,100 painted backgrounds making up the finished product. A total of 180 people, including 24 animators, worked on the film.[4]
In the original screenplay, Chief was slated to die the same as in the novel, but Stevens did not want to have an on-screen death and modified the film so that he would survive, just like Baloo in The Jungle Book, and Trusty in Lady and the Tramp.[8]
Box office
The Fox and the Hound opened in theaters on July 10, 1981.[8] The film was considered a financial success.[2] It was re-released to theaters on March 25, 1988.
Critical reception
In The Animated Movie Guide, Jerry Beck considered the film "average", though he praises the voice work of Pearl Bailey as Big Momma, and the extreme dedication to detail shown by animator Glen Keane in crafting the fight scene between Copper, Tod, and the bear.[8] In The Disney Films, Leonard Maltin also notes that the fight scene between Copper, Tod, and the bear received great praise in the animation world. Maltin felt the film relied too much on "formula cuteness, formula comedy relief, and even formula characterizations".[9] Overall, he considered the film "charming" stating that it is "warm, and brimming with personable characters" and that it "approaches the old Disney magic at times."[10]
Richard Corliss of Time Magazine, praised the film for an intelligent story about prejudice. He argued that the film shows that biased attitudes can poison even the deepest relationships, and the film's bittersweet ending delivers a powerful and important moral message to audiences.[11]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Times also praised the film, saying that "for all of its familiar qualities, this movie marks something of a departure for the Disney studio, and its movement is in an interesting direction. The Fox and the Hound is one of those relatively rare Disney animated features that contains a useful lesson for its younger audiences. It's not just cute animals and frightening adventures and a happy ending; it's also a rather thoughtful meditation on how society determines our behavior."[3]
The film has a "fresh" 69% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 26 reviews with a 6.6 score, with a consensus that states, "The Fox and the Hound is a likeable, charming, unassuming effort that manages to transcend its thin, predictable plot". Audience reception was slightly more favorable, with a score of 77% and a 3.4/5 rating.[12]
Home media
Its first home video release, on VHS format, came on March 4, 1994 as the last video of the "Walt Disney Classics" collection (it was not included in the "Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection"). On May 2, 2000, it was released to Region 1 DVD for the first time under the "Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection".[13] A 25th anniversary special edition DVD, featuring a remastered version of the film and a disc of extras, was released on October 10, 2006.[14]
The Fox and the Hound was released on Blu-ray on August 9, 2011 commemorating the film's 30th anniversary. The film was released in a 3-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo pack alongside its direct-to video midquel The Fox and the Hound 2 in a 2-Movie Collection Edition. The film features a new digital restoration and new bonus material. A DVD only edition was also available on the same day.[15][16][17][18][19] The film is presented for the first time in 1.66:1 widescreen and features 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. The sequel is presented in 1.78:1 widescreen and features the same sound as the first film.[20]
The film was awarded a Golden Screen Award (German "Goldene Leinwand") in 1982. It was also nominated for a Young Artist Award and the Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film.
Other media
As well as adaptations of the film itself, comic strips featuring the characters also appeared in stories unconnected to the film. Examples include The Lost Fawn, in which Copper uses his sense of smell to help Tod find a fawn who has gone astray;[21] The Chase, in which Copper has to safeguard a sleepwalking Chief;[22] and Feathered Friends, in which the birds Dinky and Boomer have to go to desperate lengths to save one of Widow Tweed's chickens from a wolf.[23]
A comic adaptation of the film, drawn by Richard Moore, was published in newspapers as part of Disney's Treasury of Classic Tales.[24] A comic-book titled The Fox and the Hound followed, with new adventures of the characters. Since 1981 and up to 2007, a few Fox and the Hound Disney comics stories were produced in Italy, Netherlands, Brazil, France and USA.[25]
A direct-to-video midquel, The Fox and the Hound 2, was released on December 12, 2006.[26] The film takes place during Tod and Copper's youth, before the events of the later half of this film.

Crashing into your lunch hour with three sports stories…it's Lunch Trey!
The unfortunate theme emerging from last night's MLB coverage: collisions. First up, a home-plate collision between Pirate 2B Josh Harrison and Cardinal catcher Yadier Molina. Molina left the game with "what was later diagnosed as upper back, shoulder and neck strains" after Harrison gave new meaning to the term "bang-bang play." Molina held on to get the out despite 1) a short-hopped throw from Carlos Beltran and 2) basically getting run over by a train. The play looked clean, although it was incredibly hard (and hard to watch), but that didn't stop the Cardinals from retaliating; Harrison got plunked, and both benches got warned.
Every time there's a hit like this, it prompts a debate about whether running "through" the catcher to score a run should be outlawed. (It was even under discussion for a couple of innings in the Mets booth last night.) The injury to Buster Posey last season, the infamous mugging of Roy Fosse by Pete Rose during the All-Star Game in 1970 that functionally ended Fosse's career (which Fosse is still bitter about) – examples like this make it tough to defend the practice of going in hard. But is that "just the game"?
Y! Sports: Follow the U.S. Open with Slamtracker
Also "just the game": knowing where the wall is. Having watched Jason Bay wreck himself with DL-able results twice in the last two years, I cringed at this footage of Matt Kemp banging into the Colorado outfield wall last night. I admit I also chuckled a little, because Kemp's "[BONK]…crumple to the ground" reaction was straight out of a silent-film sequence. Kemp protested that he could stay in the game, but just one batter later, he seemed a bit slow on the uptake, and Dodger manager Don Mattingly pulled him from the game. He's got a knee contusion, but no concussion symptoms, which is good.
Also scary, but in a different way, are some of the athletes'-hair stories going around. New England Patriots rookies had to attend a kick-off gala with hideous hairdon'ts given to them by team veterans – including monks' tonsures, weird streaks and stars, and even a tic-tac-toe board.
Let's hope the 'dos help as much as a new set of cornrows helps Blue Jays' Colby Rasmus, who changed up his look to improve his batting luck. It didn't take immediately – in his first game with the new style, Rasmus pulled a hat trick, striking out three times – but he's since homered, so maybe it's working.
Do you miss the Olympics already? Good news: the Paralympics start today in London. Stephen Hawking will be helping Queen Elizabeth II open the Games, the largest yet – more than four thousand athletes will compete, including North Korean Paralympians for the first time. Where can you watch in the U.S.? NBC has the broadcast rights, but doesn't plan to air much coverage (none of it live); you may be better off hitting the BBC website and trying to stream the events as they happen.

It's been really cold across much of the nation this week, and the winter weather's expected to continue through the weekend across much of the Midwest and East.
But right now, we just want to pass along this video from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which shows how the cold air spread from last Saturday (Jan. 19) through Thursday. See if you agree with Discovery.com that it's mesmerizing.

my A5 lasts only 500-1000 paintballs until the rear bolt wears down. I have already replaced the rear bolt once because the sear would not catch the rear bolt. Now i replaced the rear bolt and put plenty of gun oil so its lubed. it lasted 1000 shots and now its doing the same thing the sear is not catching the rear bolt. please help i cant figure out the problem the sear is not rounded. i made sure the long trigger spring is under the sear. any help would be nice. i have the responce trigger and the flatline (which works very well) other than that the gun is stock. p.s. i did not install the responce trigger it came already installed

i have noticed that this wear and tear on the rear bolt is very common with the response trigger. i have shot more than 5 cases with my response trigger, and i have not had any problems. I installed my response trigger, and i did a perfect job too. the response trigger was a a new product, and that was one of it's flaws. there really is no way of stopping the rear bolt wear. the only thing you can do to reduce it is to try and fire more single rate of fire, or get rid of the RT. The rear bolt wears down no matter what even if you don't have thre RT, but the RT wears it down a lot quicker. just oil it a lot, and make sure that your sear is in good shape. if your sear is rigged or something it can scratch and eat up the rear bolt.

Sear spring sounds like it has way too much tension on the sear carving a groove in your bolt. If you haven't already, call Tipp. and see if they have a fix.

the responce trigger could wear down ur rear bolt because it makes the gun shoot really fast and scince it is shooting really fast it will wear it down,try playing again with ur gun and a new bolt and turn of the responce trigger and see how many times it shoots without wearing down the bolt.good luck

Are you sure the rear bolt is getting worn? It may just be the sear spring not having enough tension. Or, there could be a valve problem not realeasing enough air to push it back far enough. Check into the valve, and also make sure it's not the SEAR that is worn down. Usually, if you replace the rear bolt due to being worn you're supposed to also replace the sear at the same time.

Israeli troops kill Jordan judge
Israeli troops at a border crossing yesterday shot dead a Palestinian-Jordanian judge who allegedly tried to snatch a soldier's weapon, prompting Amman and the Palestinian Authority to demand an investigation.
The shooting took place at the Allenby Bridge crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, with the Israeli military saying troops had opened fire after a man tried to snatch a weapon from one of its soldiers.
The Western-backed Palestinian Authority sharply condemned the incident and Amman summoned the Israeli charge d'affaires to protest, demanding an "immediate investigation."
Palestinian security officials identified the man as 38-year-old Raed Zeiter, and Amman confirmed he also held Jordanian nationality. A Jordanian security official said that Zeiter worked as a judge in Amman and had left for the West Bank early yesterday. Jordan's justice ministry said he worked at a magistrates court in the capital.
Nazmi Muhanna, the Palestinian official responsible for border crossings, said investigators were questioning around 50 people who had been with Zeiter on the bus carrying travellers from the Jordanian side to the Israeli side of the crossing.
"We are investigating with all the witnesses who were on the same bus. We will verify everything," he said. "There are no surveillance cameras there so we cannot get to the truth without the witnesses who were on that bus."
Jordan's foreign minister summoned the Israeli charge d'affaires to "strongly condemn" the shooting at the border crossing and demand an immediate probe, a statement said.
"The Jordanian government is expecting a comprehensive report on the incident from the Israeli government. Jordan wants an immediate investigation without any delay," a statement quoted Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh as saying.
The Palestinian Authority also strongly condemned the incident and demanded an "international investigation" into the circumstances of Zeiter's death.
Palestinian security officials said Zeiter was originally from the city of Nablus in the north of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, but had left the territories in 2011 and not returned.
Zeiter, who leaves behind a wife and two young children — one of whom is in a coma in hospital — was to be buried in Nablus today morning, his family said.

Hmmm… Should NATO troops help enforce an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement?
Or better yet… Israel open to joint missile defence with Jordan, Egypt

Netanyahu's display of seized ship: Meaningless Hollywood-style propaganda
Here and there during the live broadcast of the government propaganda event staged at the Israel Navy base in Eilat, the camera lingered on the face of Deputy Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Gadi Eizenkot. Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz understood that the media circus surrounding the seizure of the ship carrying Iranian weapons had run its course over the weekend, which is why he took off Saturday night to make a previously scheduled visit to the United States. Eizenkot, a disciplined soldier, was required to take his place on the dock in Eilat, alongside the prime minister and defense minister. For a time it looked as if the deputy chief of staff would have preferred to be elsewhere, though perhaps it just seemed that way to this observer. {…}
So there is nothing original about the show Netanyahu put on today, when he publicly displayed the weapons discovered after the Israel Navy raided the Klos C last week. Perhaps the most noteworthy element of Monday's event is the opportunity it has given to Eizenkot, the deputy chief of staff, and Zamir, the prime minister's military secretary, to visit the city where they were born.
The order he gave to the officers — to take part in Netanyahu's show — was not completely illegal, nor was there any reason to disobey it. Still, it gives off a bad odor. The relief over the successful interception of the rocket-laden Klos C was genuine. That was enough. Heating up the cold noodles five days later just because Netanyahu had been out of the country when the Iranian shipment was seized on its way to the Gaza Strip, and therefore absent from the photographs of the generals at the naval outpost, crosses the line of bad taste.
The wisdom of Netanyahu's press conference at Eilat Port, where the ship was escorted, is dubious as well. Everybody knows that Iran supplies arms to groups working against Israel from Gaza and Lebanon. The documentation of the captured weapons does not change people's awareness. As a backdrop for Netanyahu's propaganda, the Klos C is problematic. Iran does not deny its support for groups that take hostile action against Israel; it takes pride in it. What does that have to do with the fight of the superpowers against Iranian military nukes?
Now, I know I have questioned the sudden providence of that said 'Iranian Arms Ship'…!

TEAMS: Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder
TEAMS: Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder
Few NBA matchups this season might create a bigger styles clash than a game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers.
Oklahoma City's high-powered offense has it off to one of the league's best starts, while Indiana is relying on defense to stay afloat with its star player sidelined.
The Thunder seek their eighth straight victory on Sunday night when they host the Pacers.
They're 16-4 for the second straight year and tout the league's highest scoring offense (106.2 points per game). Oklahoma City has quickly silenced any doubts raised by the loss of reigning Sixth Man of the Year James Harden, averaging more points than last season (103.1 ppg).
Kevin Durant is averaging 27.0 while shooting a career-best 51.5 percent from the floor and Russell Westbrook's 2.51 assist-to-turnover ratio is a personal best. Serge Ibaka's offense is starting to catch up to his defense, with his 14.5 ppg up 5.4 from last season and Kevin Martin - acquired from Houston in the Harden trade - is averaging 15.4 while shooting 37.8 percent from 3-point range.
Everything starts with Durant and Westbrook, though, as seen in Oklahoma City's 114-108 home win against the Lakers on Friday night.
Durant scored 36 and Westbrook hit a season-high 5 3-pointers while scoring 33, including 27 in the first half. The Thunder trailed by 2 with nine minutes left in the second but Westbrook closed the quarter with 14 points to put Oklahoma City up by 14 at halftime.
"He has the ability to get hot," coach Scott Brooks said. "We have some guys on our team that have the ability to do that and he was the one in that first half."
A late 27-12 Lakers run may have made the final score deceptively close, but the Thunder spent most of the game running them off the floor. Oklahoma City held a 28-8 advantage in fast-break points and is one of the league's best squads in transition, averaging 16.7 on the break.
"We are good at home at pushing the ball and I think we did a good job tonight," Westbrook told the team's official website.
The Pacers (10-10) have struggled to score as much as any team, averaging 90.7 points. Indiana averaged 101.6 from 2007-08 through last season, but those numbers came with Danny Granger as the leading scorer each year. Granger has missed the entire season with a left knee injury and isn't expected back until at least February.
Without Granger, Indiana has needed stingy defense to stay competitive. They've gotten it so far, ranking among the league leaders in scoring defense (91.2).
"They play defense the best in the league," Brooks told the Thunder's official website. "They challenge, they're physical, they put their bodies on you and they rebound the ball very well."
Still, it's not always enough. The Pacers lost 92-89 at home against Denver on Friday as George Hill missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer - a shot that normally would come from Granger.
Indiana needs a better contribution from center Roy Hibbert, whose 38.0 percent field-goal shooting is a career worst and his 9.8 ppg are his fewest since he averaged 7.1 as a rookie.
"Just got to keep working," Indiana coach Frank Vogel told the team's website. "He's a good player, he doesn't want to shoot 3 for 10."
Durant scored 44 on 15-of-24 shooting in the Pacers' 103-98 win over the Thunder on April 6. Durant is averaging 30.0 points in nine career contests against Indiana.

Digging the Trojans
The Palace of Nestor at Pylos in Western Messenia: Vol. I, The Buildings and Their Contents
Mycenae and the Mycenaean Age
Defending his acceptance of the legendary history of Britain, John Milton wrote, "Yet those old and inborn kings, never to have been real persons, or done in their lives at least some part of what so long hath been remembered, cannot be thought without too strict incredulity." No historian of Britain takes such an argument seriously today, nor does anyone solemnly repeat that English history began with Brute (or Brutus) the Trojan, or Roman history with another Trojan, Aeneas. But suggest, as I and others have done, that on present evidence it is an open question whether the legendary history of Bronze Age Greece isn't also unhistorical, that as individuals even Agamemnon and Nestor may be as fictitious as Brute and Aeneas, and down come torrents of scorn, anger, and sometimes pity. Study the work of several generations of archaeologists, is the crushing reply, and you will find all the proof a reasonable man could ask for.
No one would dream of denying that since Schliemann a fascinating lost world has been brought to light. That is not at issue. Since Schliemann, furthermore, archaeologists have raised their methods of excavation and analysis to remarkable heights. None more so than Professor Carl Blegen, who, in his eighty-first year, is the Olympian among Greek archaeologists, as coolly precise in his work as ever, with an unrivaled ability to publish his results rapidly, clearly, and with the utmost reliability. Thirteen successive seasons at Pylos ended on July 31, 1964, and we already have the first volume of the final publication. (Three further volumes are planned: one on the frescoes; a second on the pre-palace finds, the ruins of the lower town below the acropolis, and tombs in the neighborhood; and a third on the Linear B tablets.) Anyone who has consulted Professor Blegen's Troy volumes or his earlier publications of lesser known sites in the Peloponnese will know what to expect, and will not be disappointed. Anyone who has not should be told in advance that this is a book for the specialist, apart from the concluding five-plus pages on the "character, date and identification of the palace."
THE "PALACE," with more than one hundred rooms, corridors, and courtyards, occupied a ridge, 170m. at its longest, 90m. at its broadest, at Epano Englianos, some five miles north-north-east of the Bay of Navarion in western Messenia. Built about 1300 B.C., it was burned about 1200 and the site was abandoned, so that in time it was not even identifiable as an ancient ruin (unlike Mycenae). In general design and scale it is similar to Mycenae or Tiryns, except for the remarkable fact that it was wholly unfortified. It is also remarkable that, among the many bones recovered, there is "not a single identifiable human element." Thus far, no comparable building complex has been found in the western Peloponnese, and the conclusion therefore seems logical that Homer's Pylos has been rediscovered. Confirmation comes from the fact that the name "Pylos" has …

Unemployment benefit filings declined last week
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people seeking unemployment benefits changed little last week, signaling modest job growth.
The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications for benefits dipped by 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 370,000.
Applications have leveled off this month after declining from April's five-month high of 392,000. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, has also dropped — it was 370,000 last week.
The lower level indicates hiring could pick up a bit in May from April's sluggish pace. When applications drop below 375,000 a week, it typically suggests hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
Ian Shepherdson, an economist at High Frequency Economics, said applications should fall soon given that some recent data indicate the economy is improving.
"We think it is just a matter of time ... before claims start to drop back down again," he said in a note to clients.
Economists forecast employers have added 160,000 jobs this month. That's above April's gains but below the pace set this winter. The government will report next Friday on May job growth.
Some companies are launching mass layoffs. Hewlett-Packard Co.'s chief executive, Meg Whitman, said Wednesday that the company will cut 27,000 jobs, or 8 percent of its work force, over the next two years.
The unemployment rate has fallen from 9.1 percent in August to 8.1 percent last month.
Part of the reason for the drop is that employers have added a million jobs over the past five months. But it has also declined because some people gave up looking for work. The government only counts people as unemployed if they are actively looking for a job.
Hiring soared over the winter, when applications were dropping steadily. Job gains averaged 252,000 in the December-February period.
The pace of hiring slowed in March and April to an average of 135,000 jobs per month. That raised fears that the job market could be weakening.
Economists have cautioned that a warm winter led companies to move up some hiring and accelerate other activity that normally wouldn't occur until spring. That gave the appearance that the economy had strengthened in January and February and weakened in early spring.
And temporary layoffs stemming from spring holidays likely pushed unemployment benefit applications higher in April, economists noted.
The number of people receiving benefits is falling, partly because extended benefit programs are ending in many states. About 6.2 million people received benefits in the week ended May 5, the latest data available. That's a drop of 105,000 from the previous week.
Other economic data this week has been mixed.
Orders for long-lasting factory goods edged up slightly in April, according to a Commerce Department report released Thursday. But that was largely because of an increase in volatile demand for commercial aircraft.
A key category that tracks business investment spending fell for a second straight month.
New-home sales rose 3.3 percent in April from March, the government said Wednesday. That's a healthy jump and puts sales at the second-highest level in two years.
And sales of previously owned homes also rose in April, the government said Tuesday. The sales increase also boosted prices, which were 10.1 percent higher than 12 months earlier.

One of three men arrested in a string of fast-food robberies has pleaded not guilty. Maricopa County Superior Court says 20-year-old Christopher Kimball's next court appearance is scheduled for March 15.
Kimball along with 40-year-old Tony Tucker and 20-year-old Vincent Nitura were dubbed by police the "Fast Food Bandits."
The men, all from Phoenix, were taken into custody in early January. The robberies began Sept. 15 and ended with the last known robbery Nov. 7.
Police accuse Tucker of being involved in all seven, Kimball of being involved in two and Nitura of participating in one.

Well, it's 2012 but if your are Giants 1st baseman Brandon Belt it must feel exactly like 2011 all over again. Belt once again got to start the year as the starting 1st baseman only to lose the job as quick as he got it. Belt went 0 for 10 with 5 k's in the opening series at Arizona and hasn't started since. Manager Bruce Bochy is even on record saying the the Giants wouldn't yo-yo the kid this year and that the only reason Belt was sitting in Denver was to get rightfielder Nate Schierholtz his first start of 2012. I feel sorry for those Giants fans that actually believed a single word that came out of Bochy's mouth as he has said the same thing before only to do the exact opposite and bench Belt. If the Giants truely believe that the kid is the 1st baseman of the future then why would you continue to confuse and stunt the prospects growth. He needs to learn how to fail and adjust at the Major League level. It's part of being a pro. Somehow vets like Pagan, Theriot, and Huff ( to his credit he has swung the bat well recently) are given the benfit of the doubt even though they are coming off of years where they would like to forget their numbers. Ryan Vogelsong is scheduled to come off the D.L. April 15th and it will likely be either Belt or reliever Dan Otero sent down to Triple-A to make room for his return. My guess would be Belt being sent to Fresno to get consistant AB's. One thing is for sure, if Brandon Belt can someday be the Giants everyday 1st baeman he will have to overcome some serious mental hurdles and win over a coaching staff that obviously doesn't believe in him even though the say otherwise. Talk is cheap and Bruce Bochy is selling a truckload. Good luck Brandon Belt, you will need it.

over 350 maps
Battlefield 1943 was,and still is AWESOME.Battlefield Bad Company 2 was where I got swept away from the CoD shores,and out into the wild blue yonder of Battlefield 3.. I truly LOVE this game;and know that the fine tuning is still to come.. Happy Birthday Battlefield,and I hope that you have a LONG and ever evolving life. To the crew of DICE,Thankyou for creating the BEST Warrior series that I have ever played!!
M1 Garand please
Here is a question for EA…Why are you selling a new package for Battlefield 3 with Premium for $59.99? You do nothing for early adopters, can't even maintain your servers right! I think someone needs to file a class action lawsuit against EA for packaging Battlefield 3 the way they have! No benefit for anyone but lining their pockets!
Now for some intelligent conversation. Back to what really matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why don't we have the option of controlling/changing the opaqueness of the hub. I would like to have the option of removing the map or anything on the screen so i could better enjoy the game on a 55′!!!!!
What if your teammates had a glow that was only visible in direct site but not thru walls instead of these damn arrows. STILL " THE OPTION TO CHANGE OPAQUENESS". The map is removed for hardcore. If you're lucky you will spawn into.
I can't understand why they didn't think ABOUT The ReaL VeTeRaNs. People who have been with the game since it was created in a modern era(June 21, 2005). We deserve these options. Call of Duty has it in some games. :)
Do i need to see it! I'm a veteran for ch…. sake!
Forgot to mention PREMIUM MEMBER !!!!!!
i would like to select my camo appaearance for a map in load out screen. you stick out like a sore thumb dressed in black in snow country.
Gunny,I hope this helps;When you are in the Class selection screen on the XBOX 360,press X to change your load-out,then look down at the bottom of the screen,and you will see where it says Y for appearance.This will take you where you can select the different Camos that you are looking for. I use the Urban for the snow maps-I almost vanish when I get off of the snow,and into the rocks to snipe. Hope you find something that works as well for you..:)
can we please get some more unique weapon camos for a couple more different weapons..and could we please get a custom pistol load out with limited attachments for each ( so wont be overpowered) THANK YOU AND BEST DLC BY FAR

What was Alfonzo Dennard thinking?
So many questions logically raced to mind on Thursday when news broke of Alfonzo Dennard's arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence earlier that morning in his former college home of Nebraska. Instinctively, though, there was only one reaction.
What a dummy!
If I may…
Seriously, dude? Two weeks after your former Patriots teammate Aaron Hernandez is accused of murder and a host of other charges, you're going to put yourself in harm's way? In Nebraska – the same place where you were convicted of third-degree assault of a police officer and a misdemeanor for resisting arrest only three months ago? You know you're on probation, right? For two years. It's been three months!
I'm not sure what you were doing there; maybe you had to be in town to fulfill some of that court-mandated community service. Still, how in the world do you do anything to draw attention to yourself in a place where, odds are, you're not on the cops' most-desired autograph list? You should be afraid to jaywalk out there, even if it's right in front of Memorial Stadium.
You really risked having a drink and getting behind the wheel? There wasn't a cab available, or one of those free NFL-provided rides we're always hearing about? Ignoring for a moment the fact that it's incredibly dangerous to drink and drive, this was remarkably poor judgment for someone so closely under the microscope. On a Stupid Scale of 1-10, you get your uniform number. For those without a yearbook, that's 37.
Okay, enough of that.
The facts aren't out yet as to whether the 23-year-old Dennard had a rough night of partying or just enjoyed a drink or two with an uncharacteristically late dinner, but it almost doesn't matter. Short of being the victim of a hate crime, any single action that would risk a run-in with the law, given his personal history and what is currently going on with his embattled employer in Foxborough, is a mistake. Wasn't he paying attention when Pats owner Robert Kraft spoke to the media about how the team would proceed with potentially troubled players in the wake of the Hernandez situation? It was Monday.
Perhaps this shouldn't come as a shock. Dennard has already shown a supreme lack of wisdom in the past by getting into that altercation with police just days before he could have made big bucks in the draft. His stock plummeted from a projected early-round selection to a seventh-round survival because no one to that point other than Bill Belichick believed in him. The New England head coach was willing to take a flier, checkered past and all.
After a successful rookie year in 2012 in which his role grew with time and he wound up starting seven games, Dennard still had to appear before a judge in April to answer for his previous indiscretions. It's Cornhuskers territory, and the former letterman got off easy. A note from Belichick couldn't have hurt. It was a new lease on life; an opportunity to prove the rest of the NFL wrong for passing on him, and his coach right for taking the chance. So this is how he repays him? He puts his job on the line two weeks before camp, at a time when the organization may feel the need to make some sort of statement? Bill's gotta be blowing steam out the cutoff sleeves of his hoodie.
Unlike with Hernandez, I'm not advocating for the Patriots to cut Dennard just yet. The situations aren't remotely similar. Really, this would be little more than a public relations inconvenience for the team if not for the fact that A) he has a history of legal troubles, and B) oh yeah, that Hernandez thing.
The club, as it has already acknowledged, will collect its facts and make a decision soon. Dennard, with the exception of some talent and the Pats' lack of depth at the position, is a very livable loss on the roster and it doesn't break the bank to let him go. Admittedly, it helps his case that the season is rapidly approaching and only guys from my flag football team are available, but it also belabors the point of stupidity and it's up to Kraft and Belichick to decide which is more important: football or the lesson. Personally, I think the Patriots can make their point through suspensions and fines before an outright release would be necessary. That's all to say, of course, Dennard doesn't find himself behind bars sooner than the 30-day March appointment he already had scheduled for his previous infractions. He did violate his parole, after all.
For Dennard's sake, I'd love for all of this to be as simple as one innocent drink with friends before deciding to drive home, during which he was led askew while playing with his radio, picking up a call, or setting the GPS. I'm inclined to believe the idiotic alternative is more likely based on his track record. It just may be the classic case of an entitled professional athlete feeling invincible, or a bit of "big fish, little pond" syndrome. Honestly, a small part of me expects Dennard to slap his attorney on the butt the next time he's in the courtroom August 12.
In the Hernandez saga, new information is piling up by the day. The sooner he disappears from the news for New England, the better. Dennard's case remains somewhat mysterious, but he's surpassed an acceptable number of mulligans. The Patriots will choose if he's worth the risk going forward.
Hard not to now ask who's next, and how soon, isn't it?

Anyone who has made the Fire Grate?
I have my (2) 18" & (2) 15" support section pieces cut.
Now do they overlap and bolt together or just buddy up and the expanded steel piece bolts it all together? I cannot clearly tell by the pics. http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/at...1&d=1211119502 · The FIREGRATE: The stock grate is small and very low, allowing minimal airflow under the fire. The first and most simple mod is a new firegrate made out of ¾ inch expanded steel. Available in a 24x24 inch piece for 11 bucks at ACE hardware, 20 bucks at home depot. Cut the expanded steel to approximately 16x20 to fit the firebox and rest on the supports for the cooking grates. Get some 5/16 inch thick, 1 or 2 inch wide flat steel sections. You need 2 18 inch sections and 2 15 inch sections. Attach the 19 inch sections to the expanded steel with stainless steel bolts and fender washers. Then attach the 2 15 inch sections across, sectioning the expanded steel into thirds. These supports will stop the expanded steel from warping and last much longer. Keep this grate on the second or third level. It will significantly improve airflow and allow a small fire to supply enough heat to maintain 225-250. Put the existing grate and ash pan on the bottom, preferably raised up on a ceramic briquette or the like to allow airflow under the ashpan*. This assists in keeping the bottom from rusting out in case water gets into the firebox. Firebricks can be used also in the firebox. Dont use bricks or pavers in the firebox, as they will disintegrate at ~1300 degrees. This is discussed further later on in the document. Grate can be made with or without support strips. The supports increase the life of the grate significantly. Without the supports, the grate will warp and burn thru over time.

When I made mine, they overlapped and the bolts tied it all together.
