M33 quickly and easily grabbed the attention of the PSP homebrew community for continuing work on custom firmware after Dark_Alex suddenly quit the scene. The team of five have met their fair share of complaints and praise over the past weeks, many complimenting their quick work, but lamenting the numerous patches made to tackle a persistent list of bugs.
Interestingly, in the team's first public interview, they revealed that they believe Sony will ultimately make the "ideal firmware." They believe that consumers just want the ability to do more with their system, and Sony will learn from the homebrew community: "When Sony understands the useless of their attempts to fight against CFW, they WILL release the firmware that will allow to run homebrew."
The battle against homebrew shouldn't be equated with the battle against piracy, they note. "Sony should allow homebrew development, as on PS2 in RTE (Runtime Environment) on which you can program homebrew, but can't run ISO." Certainly, we applaud the hard work of many homebrew developers out there -- if they could be recognized without piracy running rampant, all PSP owners would benefit.

Bills WR Andre Reed inducted into Hall of Fame - 0 Comments
CANTON, Ohio — Receiver Andre Reed has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Reed was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, who spent 15 of his 16 NFL seasons with the Buffalo Bills. Reed was a cornerstone of Bills teams that made four consecutive Super Bowl appearances and lost them all in the early 1990s.
He helped revolutionize the slot receiver position by playing in the so-called "K-Gun" no-huddle offense. Reed's 13,198 yards receiving ranked fourth when he retired following the 2000 season.

Video of Naomi on BBC Breakfast yesterday
"Everyone feels they know her so well" Naomi Watts on playing the people's princess
Sixteen years after she died in a car crash, the life of Princess Diana is being depicted on the big screen for the first time.
The film tells the story of the last two years of her life.
The BBC's entertainment correspondent, Lizo Mzimba has been speaking to Naomi Watts, who plays the leading role, about why she believes the film should have been made.
Diana is in cinemas across the UK on Friday 20th September.
Naomi at the world premiere of "Diana" – first look!
Oscar Race for Best Actress Already Overcrowded
Oscar Race for Best Actress Already Overcrowded
Women often complain that there aren't enough good movie roles for actresses, and they're right.
This year, the meaty roles may not be plentiful, but they're impressive: It's only September and the best-actress race is already overloaded with contenders.
The Venice Film Festival, which kicked off Aug. 28, offered two strong possibilities: Sandra Bullock in "Gravity" and Judi Dench in "Philomena," two very different but very impressive tour de force performances.
In May, Cannes offerings included "Blue is the Warmest Color," in which Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos starred in the Palme d'Or-winning film, while the fest's actress prize went to Berenice Bejo in "The Past." Also winning big praise was "The Immigrant," with Marion Cotillard. That's six possibilities already.
Then you can add Cate Blanchett, in "Blue Jasmine," a performance that's getting a lot of heat, and several current indie films that feature terrific work by their lead actresses, including Brie Larson in "Short Term 12," and Shailene Woodley in "The Spectacular Now."
Venice also screened "Tracks," in which Mia Wasikowska in onscreen the whole time in a role 180 degrees from recent work like "Stoker" and "Alice in Wonderland."
Among the titles to be screened at Toronto, which launches Sept. 5, are "August: Osage County," with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts; "Devil's Knot," with Reese Witherspoon; and "Labor Day," with Kate Winslet. Those are question-marks until they're seen, but they sure sound like possibilities.
Toronto also offers other questions, such as "Railway Man," with Nicole Kidman: Is that a lead or supporting role?
And speaking of Kidman, don't forget films set for later this year including her "Grace of Monaco"; Naomi Watts as another princess, "Diana"; Emma Thompson in "Saving Mr. Banks"; and a bunch of other possibilities that are likely to pop up.

First promotional interviews for "Diana"
Naomi took part in the press day for Diana in London yesterday, and below are the first batch of released interviews, including some for the Australian media.
She also appeared on BBC Breakfast this morning, and taped an appearance for 98FM which will air sometime in the coming weeks.
Naomi talks to Australian Channel Ten
Japanese trailer for "Diana"
Old David Yurman advert video
Whilst browsing Tumblr for anything new on Naomi, I came across this music video by The Charlatans which features Naomi. At first I thought it might've been another music video she'd done quietly (she did a couple in the early 90's), but having done a bit more searching it seems that it is a commercial for David Yurman, featuring a song from The Charlatans. This was done back in 2006. I don't remember having seen it before, so I thought I'd post it as a bit of a 'blast from the past':
Interview: Tim Burgess, The Charlatans
Well I'm kind of glad he made it into a movie, at the same time…
Check this out for a Lynchism: we just did some music for a Naomi Watts advert. It's "You're So Pretty" from "Wonderland," and it's her looking like she did in "Mulholland Drive," floating about for three minutes. I'd show it to you, only my computer's broken…
HD screencaptures from the full "Diana" trailer
HD screencaptures from the international trailer for Diana are now up in the Gallery for you. Browse back through our Diana news archives to view the trailer itself.
I've also spent some time working on our Career section content pages today – check the Recently Updated Pages bit on the sidebar to see some of those updates. So far it's just a very basic start, and I will continue to build it up in the coming weeks!
Naomi Watts: Diana film 'is sooner than some people expected'
Naomi Watts: Diana film 'is sooner than some people expected'
Naomi Watts has defended her portrayal of the Princess of Wales, saying that although the film may be sooner than some expected, "it was a story that was going to be told."
Speaking the day before the UK premiere, Watts told ITV News correspondent Nina Nannar of the difficulty in capturing what made Princess Diana so instantly recognisable – her voice and mannerisms.
Director Oliver Hirschbiegel said that although 'Diana' will undoubtedly have an effect on the princess' sons, William and Harry, they were used to scrutiny and the attention their mother garnered, throughout her life and since her death.
I don't know what I would do if somebody did a film about my mother…Then the way these young men grew up was being clearly aware of being the princes or the future king – so it's not like something that comes out of nowhere, they grew up like this.
– Oliver Hirschbiegel
Watts said that while preparing to play the people's princess she had two vocal coaches and it required "a lot of hard work."
The voice was the toughest thing. Because it is posh – but she has that breathe and she didn't have that stiff upper lip, she used a lot more of her facial expressions than that aristocratic way of Victorian ways.
So putting that breath in to it and using her eyes and her mannerisms as well, that was all stuff that we remember well, her voice was something that we remember very well.
– Naomi Watts
Watts also spoke about her fears of taking on the role and how she actually turned the part down twice because of her concerns.

Soccer can unite.
(photo credit:shimon samuels)
The European soccer championship, Euro 2012, which ended on Sunday with Spain's
victory, brought to the attention of the world for three intense weeks a new,
united Europe – despite frictions – but more a Europe of the people than of
governments.A Europe of common values, conflicting passions and of a
new, young generation, more integrated than their leaders, enjoying the freedom
the union offers.Take one of the superstars of the competition, the
young and masterful Italian striker Mario Balotelli, who brought the German
favorites to their knees with two splendid goals. Wearing the blue of the
Squadra Azzurra, he is African by descent, his parents having moved from Ghana
to Palermo.Before the gamesm the 21-year-old feared racist outbursts
against him, yet the young Mario was celebrated by Italians and by soccer fans
from all over the continent admiring his creative skills, as do the more
conservative British when he scores for his league team, Manchester
City.A Ghanian superstar wearing the national colors of Italy, playing
for a British team, becoming overnight a young European hero – think about
whether this would have been possible even a few decades ago. Even in Israel, we
decided that Mario is "ours," as his adoptive mother is Jewish.This is a
reflection of a more multicultural Europe, encouraged by the Brussels EU
government and by the Swiss UEFA leadership. UEFA is in many ways a reflection
of the EU, promoting freedom of movement of people and players. The values of
"Respect" and a staunch "No To Racism" are promoted in their campaigns and
advertising.They also attempt to be inclusive also of weaker soccer
nations, as exemplified by the hosting of the games by Poland and Ukraine, and
by the inclusive "Europa League" that aims to encourage and include also weaker
teams, such as ours.The latter is the brainchild of UEFA President
Michel Platini, the former French captain who gained European Cups for the
Tricolore who works today for the integration of all of Europe. One needn't be
too brave to dare say that Platini is more of a household name than the
President of the EU (Jose Manuel Barroso).In Warsaw, Gdansk and Kiev
throughout the month of June many aspects of Europe surfaced – some of a more
integrative nature; some less so. All defining a new Europe of the people,
mostly of the young; a kind of "European Spring."The integration was
best expressed by the enormous happenings in the streets of the Polish and
Ukrainian cities. Tens of thousands of fans in their national colors, chanting
their local chants, consuming endless amounts of beer, and who despite the
frictions and one or two outbreaks of violence (specifically between Russian and
Ukrainian fans) blended into a colorful collage of joy and jubilation – the
Irish green, the Spanish Roja, the Dutch and Ukrainian orange.This was
matched by record TV ratings for all games, with more than 200 million viewers
glued to their TV sets at the same moment, expressing conflicting passions, but
like the fans at the games, in a peaceful manner.The integration is also
expressed by the movement of players across borders – take the Real Madrid stars
in the Germany-Portugal game – Ronaldo, Khedira and Ozil.Mesut Ozil, the
superb German middle-fielder, of Turkish origins – at the soccer EU, Turkey is
in.Immigration is a challenging issue for most European countries. The
number of immigrants in the EU is approximately 50 million, mostly from non-EU
countries, among them more than 9 million Turks, 5 million Arabs, 5 million
Africans , 4 million South Asians, etc.This problematic phenomenon was
not reflected in Euro 2012. On the contrary. Take the German and French, not
generally known for their tolerance to strangers. The German "Mannschaft," the
youngest team, represented the black, red and gold, yet their players were not
just blonde strikers, but also Sami of Tunisia, Mesut of Turkey, Miroslav and
Lukas of Poland. The French Tricolore was represented by the Muslim Ribery,
Benzema and Nasri, and the African Malouda, to the great chagrin of Marine Le
Pen.Some of Europe's tensions were also reflected in Euro 2012. Much was
written during the games of the wealthy and the poor. On one side Germany,
dictating austerity measures in return for aid, and on the other Greece,
Portugal, Italy and Spain, etc.It was most obvious during the Germany-
Greece game, with fears of anti- German outbreaks by Greek fans, specifically
against the Chancellor Angela Merkel, who jumped up at every German goal. In the
end, Germans and Greeks shook hands and embraced.In the battle between
South and North, on the soccer field the South won – three of the final four
were Spain, Italy and Portugal. There was also East versus West at the Euro. The
East represented by Poland, Russia and Ukraine and the Czech
Republic.Despite expectations to the contrary due to the imprisonment of
former Ukrainian Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, the Ukrainians have received
much praise for their hosting, as have the Polish.The Russians, despite
losing, were supported by many European soccer fans for their attractive game.
Supporting Andrei Arshavin is more appealing than supporting Vladimir
Putin.And then there were the Brits, not the greatest enthusiasts of the
EU, but the greatest enthusiasts of the Euro championship, their famous brigades
of fans carried the Union Jack, with pride and chanting, through the Polish and
Ukrainian bars and stadiums. Indeed, a Europe of the people.And the
world watched. In the United States, still relative newcomers to "soccer," there
were record TV ratings on ESPN – for once admiring the European continent. For
three weeks Europe was again at the center of world attention, as London will be
in August. The Middle East was no different; all games broadcasted on live TV, a
good diversion for Middle Eastern news obsessives. This was true for Israelis
and Arabs alike. I can testify that most of my own conversations with
Palestinian friends in the past three weeks have had much more to do with Euro
bets than with settlements. We were out, but at least together.In Israel
itself, TV ratings skyrocketed. Fans of different countries, gathering in bars,
in kiosks, or before giant screens on the beaches of Tel Aviv, somewhat envious
of Europe, for once modest regarding our own (soccer)
capacities.Politics did not affect the support of teams, as used to be
the case some years ago when all of Israel supported the Dutch for not giving in
to the Arab oil boycott. Today it is acceptable to support the "hostile"
Russians, the "pro- Palestinian" Spanish or even the German
"Mannschaft."And yet without some good old Israeli xenophobia no event
is perfect. The most popular post-game TV show was named The Whole World is
Against Us ("HaOlam Kulo Negdenu"), where the moderators made fun of our
inferiority complex vis-a-vis the European soccer superpowers.This was
mainly expressed by the hilarious comedian Shalom Michaelshvilli, of the Trio
"Ma Kashur?" ("What's the Connection?"). And indeed, you had to ask yourselves,
what is the connection? Between us, our region, and Europe, the EU and the Euro
– probably very little.Too little.On the serious side of this
great sports event, there is an expression of a European continent more united
than before, a Europe grown past its historical past conflicts, establishing a
joint system. One that despite economic problems and tensions works quite well
on the governmental level, but as expressed in "Euro 2012," is more than
anything a Europe of the people, a Europe of a new, young generation.The
writer is president of the Peres Center for Peace and served as Israel's chief
negotiator for the Oslo Accords.

Plans for a grand boulevard in downtown Oklahoma City will become clearer Tuesday when the city council votes on a small aspect of the project that has stirred a big controversy.
Oklahoma City Council set to make decision on boulevard design
Despite vocal and written protests from a group of concerned citizens — and at least one member of the council — approval is expected of a plan that would send boulevard traffic across a combined Western-Classen corridor via an overpass.
The proposed bridge is smaller than what was originally considered by the council in developing the boulevard, but the plan has met opposition from transit-minded residents who insist any overpass would divide north and south downtown.
"It divides a good portion of Oklahoma City where there will probably not be any development because of this, and there's no access — you can't get from the north side of this to the south side because all the streets are cut off," said Bob Kemper, who works in transportation engineering and has taken on the role of spokesman for Friends for a Better Boulevard.
While some city officials call the latest plan a compromise between the initial project specifications and desires of the Friends group, Kemper said the Friends remain steadfast that a roundabout at the intersection — or an entirely new boulevard design — would be preferable.
"We're going to speak and voice our concerns, and there will be several of us," Kemper said of Tuesday's meeting.
"We're going to ask the city to slow down the project until we have a full evaluation."
Eric Wenger, who heads the Public Works Department, said he thinks most members of the city council are satisfied with public involvement in developing the boulevard.
The plan all along has been to fill the footprint of the old Interstate 40 — reopened last year several blocks south of downtown — with an east-west road that makes downtown more accessible to interstate traffic, Wenger said.
Revised plan
The revised plan — recommended to the city council by an outside consulting group that studied 38 options for the corridor — calls for fewer lanes and a smaller elevated section and incorporates some pedestrian- and development-friendly elements to the area, Wenger said.

Month of Mary 31 - Consecration Day
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on Jun 1, 2014
Month of Mary #31 ( 15min) Play - On the final day of our "Month of Mary" we want to sum everything up. We have looked through the eyes of four Marian Giants, and we can sum up their perspectives with a few words: St. Louis de Montfort--Passion, Baptism, Gift; St. Maximilian Kolbe--Mystery, Militia, Love; Bl. Mother Teresa--Thirst, Heart, Covenant, St. John Paul II--Mother, Entrust-acration, Mercy. Finally, he encourages us to LIVE this consecration and give God the maximum amount of glory possible. Ad Maximum Dei Gloriam! Today's Consecration Prayer: O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to you. I, (name), a repentant sinner, cast myself at your feet humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to yourself as your possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases you. If it pleases you, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of you: "She will crush your head,"ť and, "You alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."ť Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing your glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever you enter you obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. V. Allow me to praise you, O Sacred Virgin. R. Give me strength against your enemies. Ave Maria! To Download Audio go to http://airmaria.com?p=43413

Rihanna - Rehab
Artist: Rihanna
Producer: Timbaland
Album: Good Girl Gone Bad
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 50 votes )
The most successful R&B album of this decade, Usher's Confessions, yielded five successful singles. As a result, the album is on the brink of being certified diamond, which equals an impressive 10 million albums sold domestically. On October 7, Rihanna will continue her quest to achieve similar success. Already seven singles deep into her last album, Good Girl Gone Bad, the Barbadian singer is set to release the Timbaland-produced Rehab as the eighth (and final) single early next month. Though her U.S. sales totals doesn't match that of Usher's (the singer is currently hovering slightly above the 2 million mark), our current economic climate and the state of the music industry must be taken into account when making comparisons.

BARRE — Barre Police say two men are facing charges of breaking into a delivery truck and stealing cartons of cigarettes.
A security guard at Capital Candy reported seeing two men trying to break into a truck at 2 a.m. Monday.

Barre police said they arrested one of the men. The other one later turned himself in.
Authorities said 22-year-old Ricky Dailey and 21-year-old Joshua Herring have been cited into court on charges of grand larceny.

Boycott Apple Over Fingerprint Scanner?Submitted by luvdispencer on Wed, 09/18/2013 - 12:17
After everything that has come out about the NSA and government spying, Apple thinks now is the time to roll out this technology? Are the masses really that stupid, or is Apple just that stupid? I guess we will see. Personally I will never buy an iphone now, and I love Apple products. Even if the fingerprint scanner is turned off, the technology is still in the phone and I have a sneaking suspicion the NSA will have some backdoor access to it.
Anyone else peeved over this?
- Login to post comments
Save your old computers...
..they might be the only ones you can trust.
I think you can turn it off
I think you can turn it off
You cannot trust Apple computers!
In fact, you cannot trust any of the smartphone makers today.
It's not the phones that are a concern, but
The phone companies. If they want to provide a backdoor program for government agencies to unlock your phone, they can do it with or without features such as the finger scanner.
Yea but who wants
their fingerprint in a government database?
My Subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/RomeRules/
If they have access to your phone
What is a fingerprint compared to all your personal information?
My radar went up as soon as I saw this feature
in the Keynote. Phil Schiller immediately tried to
clarify the technology limits... but you can't help
but wonder... They sure have locked down the
whereabouts of you phone for a while now... now they
will know if it is you using it... so they can
reliably send someone to collect you when needed.
ALL cell phones sold today
ALL cell phones sold today contain a GPS chip. It's required by law. If you don't like that fact, try to get the law changed or don't use a cell phone. You could carry around a CB radio, but I think your signal could still be triangulated.
Well, yes, that is what I said...
That they have had the phone's location... now with fingerprint recognition, they might could know 1) Where the person is, and 2) Who that person is.
In the past, even under GPS, someone could come looking for the phone owner... but I could have loaned my phone to my wife, kids, friends, etc. Now they have identity too.
The government can find you no matter what you do.
Cancel cable, stop using smart phones, change your address, etc etc.
They know, its the most sophisticated well funded spy agency on the planet you won't beat it.
"Once you become knowledgeable, you have an obligation to do something about it."- Ron Paul
Please get your facts in order
The fingerprint scanner is completely isolated (electronically, physically isolated) from the parts of the device with network access, and it is impossible for it to send any sort of signal over the network.
We haven't seen the device yet, but when we do, this is something that can be independently confirmed, you don't just have to take Apple's word for it. When the phone comes out, we will know for sure. Until then there is absolutely no reason to accuse them of lying.
I am skeptical about the complete separation...
after all, if that were true, how would the scanner approve access and get that message to the OS? It has to be integrated into the entire system and the OS has to be able to submit and receive information back and forth.
Even if you can somehow prove that it is completely benign today... that does not mean that the technology won't be "altered" later when no one is looking. Oh, look Honey, there is an IOS 7 Update 13 available... I am downloading now.
I like Apple. However, even if they were the last of the big boys to start participation in PRISM, they are participating. How long before they cave to surveillance "needs"?
You're right, I am
You're right, I am speculating a bit. However, in this environment of super spying I see something like this as fitting the narrative too perfectly.
It's not a good way to view
It's not a good way to view the world, being afraid of all the things that might happen, suspecting everyone of everything. It's what got us to this point to begin with.
I generally agree, but its
I generally agree, but its hard not to be over vigilant in this world right now.
Agreed, I definitely
Agreed, I definitely understand being suspicious. And accordingly, I'll be watching the reports of the first dissections of the phone very closely.
well in Missouri
if you ever cashed a check that wasn't off your own bank, you must put your thumbprint with ink on the check, so my fingerprint is already in the national database.
So I might still buy one, you can combo the print with a alpha numeric code on the phone if you like as well, that way you can't be forced to incriminate yourself if pressed by the cops.
While I don't believe Apple is necessarily pro-liberty,
at least not in the sense of caring to protect against government surveillance, I'm not completely convinced that the new fingerprint scanner poses a threat. I think It's a pretty neat innovation and I don't think technological advancement of this sort should be discouraged at all. With that said, I guess the only thing that makes me somewhat skeptical about it is the fact that the information stored is encrypted, yet they say the info is only accessible to the fingerprint scanner (and not the atennas, which is likely where outside attempts to gain access would be made). If this fact made the fingerprint info sufficiently secure, there wouldn't be a reason to encrypt it? Perhaps they did it just to soothe these concerns that are being raised, or just in case.. Of course, there is the likely possibility the info really is more vulnerable than they are making it out be. Only time will tell.
I probably will still get the new iphone, though I would imagine that a fingerprint scanner in an android phone would be much more secure, due it being an open source platform and third party developers effectively creating tweaks to ensure info cannot be accessed. Dammnit apple, if only iOS wasn't so damn closed off and more developer-friendly instead!!
"Truth is treason in the empire of lies"
Lovely sentiment, but Android
Lovely sentiment, but Android phones are known to be flypaper for virii, malicious hacks and they have proven far more vulnerable than the iPhone to security risks. Look it up if you don't believe it.
The reviews on the iPhone "5s" are in and they are universally glowing. The fingerprint detection is repoted to be so good, that it is a big convenience which will turn the phone into a reliable digital wallet. Heck, it could theoretically be the perfect platform for efficient phone-to-phone anonymous Bitcoin transactions (just my speculation).
To answer
your first two questions.
Yes, a lot of the public is that stupid, or at least that nieive.
No, Apple is not that stupid. They are part of the establishment. They are working hand in glove with the state or the state will destroy them.

I switched to a Windows Phone (Androids can lick balls) a couple years ago as I refuse to buy into the "annualized product releases" that Apple has adopted to sucker people into yearly hardware updates and non-innovative software and UI design.
Then there's the fingerprint scanner AND the CONSTANT Motion Tracking imbedded into the A7 chip that catalogues all your movements as long as you have the phone on you.
Anyone here dumb and lazy to the point they can't be bothered to input and remember a 4-digit pass code??? Apple thinks you're all retarded apparently.
How well did MS's attempt to impose an alway-on, always-listening, 3D scanner "camera" that can monitor your body weight, movement characteristics, even sense your mood through its facial detection software, work out for them? NOT WELL! The camera will still come included but it can be disconnected completely and burned with fire!!

I just like how the interface looks and works. I'm a graphic designer so I really like the "magazine" look of its menus and such. I also like the "tiles" that can be sized up or down rather than the typical icons used by Apple, Google and even BlackBerry. That's just me.

(By Balaseshan) Lear Corp. (NYSE: LEA) has launched financing actions to raise liquidity and increased its existing share repurchase program authorization. In addition, the automobile parts supplier affirmed its guidance for 2012 and issued its financial outlook for 2013.
Lear still expects 2012 net sales of about $14.5 billion, while Street predicts $14.34 billion. The company projects core operating earnings of $745 million to $785 million and adjusted earnings of $520 million to $560 million. Adjusted capital spending is still anticipated to be about $435 million.
For 2013, Lear anticipates net sales of $15.0 billion to $15.5 billion, while Street analysts predict $15.02 billion. The company guides core operating earnings of $725 million to $775 million, and adjusted earnings of $420 million to $455 million. Adjusted capital spending is expected to be about $450 million.

Lear said its forecast is based on expected global industry vehicle production of 79 million units in 2012 and 81 million units in 2013. In addition, the company expects margins to improve in 2014 and 2015.
The company's sales backlog for 2013 to 2015 is $1.8 billion. The backlog continues to support further diversification of Lear's sales by geographic region, customer and vehicle platform.
The financing actions include the launch of an offering of $500 million in senior unsecured notes due 2023 and a new $1 billion revolving line of credit, which will replace the company's existing $500 million facility.
[Related -Dividend Roundup: JCI, SYY, CPB, JWN, POT, RGLD, LEA]
With respect to the revolving line of credit, the company presently has commitments for the vast majority of the $1 billion facility. Combined, the proposed financing actions will increase the company's liquidity by about $1 billion.
The company plans to use this liquidity for the redemption of $70 million in aggregate principal amount of its existing notes during 2013.
Lear also said it is increasing its existing share repurchase program authorization by $800 million to $1.5 billion and extending the authorization until January 10, 2016. As of December 31, 2012, the company has repurchased $502 million of its shares.
The new repurchase program provides for future share repurchases of about $1 billion, including $198 million available under the previous program.
LEA closed Friday's regular session up 0.02% at $48.01. The stock has been trading between $34.81 and $48.49 for the past 52 weeks.

Meinl cymbals chosen by punk drummer Ryan Leger
Every Time I Die's drummer Ryan Leger has selected Meinl cymbals for his drum kit on the band's current tour.
The Canadian took up his position behind the New York state punk band's drum kit in September 2009 and has been on the road almost ever since, as the group promotes their fifth album, New Junk Aesthetic.
Leger picked Meinl cymbals for his drum kit as he wanted a hard-wearing product capable of coping with the rigours of being part of a punk band's world tour.
His set-up now includes Meinl's Mb8 drum cymbals, together with products from the manufacturer's Byzance range.
Leger is the latest performer to add Meinl cymbals to their drum kit, following the example set by This Providence drummer Andy Horst and Lamb of God sticksman Chris Adler.
Meinl cymbals are also a favourite with Marcie Chapa, the percussionist in Beyonce's all-woman backing band Sugar Mama.Posted on 15 Feb 2010 07:40 to category : Band / Celebrity News

I find what works best for me is to plan just one or two new meals each week, and stick with things I'm familiar with for the rest. And here's my confession. On the nights I make something new I always make a dessert. I figure that way, even if the meal is a disaster, there will still be something nice to eat. kristieinbchttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572011697771003818.post-59519949772686894512014-11-14T17:56:01.609Z2014-11-14T17:56:01.609ZAlso, Sue's blog http://thequincetree65.blogsp...Also, Sue's blog http://thequincetree65.blogspot.co.uk/ is hugely inspiring for cooking seasonally and in a budget friendly way.

Various members of my family, myself included, have health conditions which require that their diets don't include certain things and over the years we found a way of catering for everyone that worked. But three of the children have left home now and I just feel like we're stuck in a rut. I really need to do something similar to what you have planned but I'm kinda waiting for the youngest to leave home. Which is silly because the way he's going I'll be waiting a while!

It's funny because this week I've had my recipe books out looking for inspiration. I think I might try to cook one new thing each week or at least try to perfect a couple of dishes that I could serve to friends. I'm not confident at all cooking for people. Luckily Chris isn't fussy. In fact neither am I and I think that's the reason why I don't worry too much about being creative with food. I'm going to try your freezer list idea. I think that sounds like it will work for me. I really enjoyed your post and found I could relate to a lot of it. Have a good Sunday.

"What a strong voice Angela Davis-Gardner has, and what a listening heart. Forms of Shelter shows the transcendent power of childhood to heal itself when the adult world cannot or will not."—Anne Rivers Siddons
1. While living at Jack's, Beryl spends most of her time in the tree house in the Osage orange tree. Why do you think she feels so safe there? Is it ironic that she feels secure in a place that was built by Jack?
2. From the beginning it seems that Jack is trying to buy the love of Beatrice, Beryl and Stevie. Discuss some of the purchases he makes for them. What are his ulterior motives behind these purchases?
3. Beryl never abandons the memory of her father. Do you believe Jack when he tells Beryl that her father turned down Beatrice's attempt for reconciliation and that he had found another woman? Do you think her father ever tried to contact Beryl or Stevie over the years?
4. At the end of Chapter 12, Beryl says, "Stevie and I had often talked about the day he shot the acorn at the beehive and got stung; it marks the beginning of the time that everything began to go wrong between him and Jack." (pg. 132) Do you agree with this statement? Do you believe Stevie and Jack ever really got along?
5. Even though Beryl does not like living with Grandmummy and Grandpa, would she and Stevie have been better off if they stayed with their grandparents instead of moving in with Jack? Why do you think Beryl never considers moving back to live with them?
6. Discuss Beryl and Eunice's friendship. Why does Eunice befriend Beryl? Does Beryl think of Eunice as a true friend? Why can Beryl not confide to Eunice about her troubles at home?
7. Why does Beryl make up people and situations in her head, such as dreaming up pretend boyfriends and fantasies about her father returning? What is she trying to discover or replace in her own life?
8. There are a number of ups and downs in Jack and Beatrice's marriage. Do you think they honestly love each other? Why do they stay married for so long?
9. Why is Beryl attracted to Bernie? What do you think are Bernie's actual feelings towards her?
10. Beatrice raises each of her children differently. She is very protective and sympathetic toward Stevie while being hard on Beryl. Discuss the different tactics Beatrice uses. Do you think Beatrice feels threatened of Beryl and Jack's relationship?
11. After being sent off to a Catholic school, Stevie decides he wants to be baptized and confirmed as a Catholic. What makes him turn so suddenly to religion? Why isn't his family more supportive?
12. Discuss the sibling relationship between Beryl and Stevie. Would you consider them close? Is their relationship a typical brother/sister relationship?
13. When Jack decides to go into the honey business, he chooses Beryl as his partner. Why does he exclude the rest of the family? Do you think he uses the bees as an excuse to get closer to Beryl?

ABC's New "Nashville" Drama Could Have Big Impact
ABC has announced that a new TV drama called Nashville has been picked up for their Fall season. The show intimately involves Nashville's mainstream music scene, with former Friday Night Lights actress Connie Britton portraying an aging country star trying not to be overtaken by the up-and-coming young starlet Hayden Panettiere from NBC's Heroes. The pilot was written by Callie Khouri of Thelma & Louise fame and shot in Nashville last month.
A look at the trailer for the series seems to hint that Nashville will follow a similar story to the 2010 country music movie Country Strong starring Gwyneth Paltrow, though Nashville may even get more specific and more salacious, with the young Hayden Panettiere nailing anything not tied down, and producers mentioning Auto-tune out in the open. The themes and characters look like they could have been ripped out of a Dale Watson song or a story on Saving Country Music.
The biggest difference between Country Strong and Nashville will be that the TV version dramatizing country music's eternal culture war will have to fill hour-long segments for a whole season. Old vs. young, twang vs. pop may be explored with greater detail than ever before, though many times television dramas as they age (hospital dramas for example) tend to veer away from the hard information that creates their setting, and focus more on love threads and side stories between characters.
It will take the airing of the show to really flesh out what Nashville's impact will be on the greater country music world, but just from watching the trailer it is safe to say that country music's culture war has gone mainstream, a development that has been evolving for a while now. The idea that country's aging talent is being unfairly pushed aside and its roots being neglected for the crossover flavor of the month is no longer a fringe, underground idea. It now goes without saying, and to Nashville's similarity to Country Strong, it may even be cliche.
This also speaks to the commercialization of the anti-Nashville sentiment. A few years ago, Music Row and Nashville's major labels saw this anti-Nashville trend growing, and to commercialize it and reintegrate those fans they launched a new generation of "Outlaws" with songs complaining about pop stars and how nothing on the radio is country anymore, in songs that ironically sound way more like rock and originate from the same labels as the pop country performers do. Nashville could be the television version of anti-Nashville monetization. That leads us to who the big money is behind the Nashville series: Gaylord Entertaiment.
Gaylord is the owner of The Grand Ole Opry (which is featured prominently in the pilot) and many other core Nashville country music and non-music institutions, and reportedly is a big producer and financier of Nashville. Anyone concerned about what impact this series may have on country music and the city of Nashville should focus in on this relationship first.
The Grand Ole Opry stage is one of the biggest theaters in the country music culture war, with constant battles being fought over who deserves stage time and membership to country's most important institution. It could be argued that without the drama Gaylord has already created through its management of The Opry, the Nashville series would not be possible. It seems only appropriate that the initial conflict between the series' two main characters in the pilot happens at The Opry. Instead of answering or resolving the issues many country fans and performing artists have with the way The Opry is run, they appear to be using it as plot for a television show.
It is in the portrayal of the cultural divide that polarizes country music where it will be deemed if the Nashville series' impact will be positive or not on country music, on The Grand Ole Opry, and on the city of Nashville. It appears from the pilot that a mayoral race is involved, so Nashville's political dynamic will be part of the drama as well. As someone who grew up in Dallas, I can attest to how a single television series can create very strong, and sometimes very negative stereotypes about a city and its people that sometimes takes generations to erode and unwind afterwards.

UPDATE 10/09/12: Scott Borchetta and his Big Machine label continue to empire build in Music City. They have signed an exclusive deal with ABC to market the music from Nashville.
"Music has to feel organic, appropriate and authentic when it is paired with on-camera visuals," said Scott Borchetta in a statement about the deal. "When I saw the pilot for 'Nashville,' I knew instantly we needed to be part of it. Not only does our partnership make sense given how closely the show reflects the nature of the music business, but the show's talent has created some incredible music."
The music on the show is being produced by industry powerhouse T Bone Burnett. Some of the original songs for the series have been written by The Civil Wars, Lucinda Williams, and Elvis Costello.
Saving Country Music will be keeping a close eye on Nashville.
