[video] Nissan and Chrysler's February Auto Sales Lead the Pack
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Some major automakers' sales suffered from the weather in February. General Motors (GM) saw a 12% decline in sales of the Chevy Silverado and Ford (F) saw U.S. sales fall 6%.
The harsh winter weather continued to weigh on sales for some major automakers in February, as the nation's top two automakers both reported U.S. sales declines.
General Motors and Ford both experienced a slow start to February -- a month when GM saw a 12% decline in sales of the Chevy Silverado, its top-selling vehicle. GM's overall sales fell 1% in February, actually beating analyst expectations of a drop of 6%, according to Thomson Reuters. And Ford saw U.S. sales fall 6% from a year ago, slightly beating expectations as well.It wasn't bad news from all automakers, however. Nissan reported a surprising 16% increase in auto sales to more than 115,000 vehicles, led by the Rogue crossover SUV. That handily beat analyst expectations of a rise of 12%, according to Thomson Reuters. Chrysler sales rose 11% to about 155,000 vehicles, led by the Ram pickup and Cherokee SUVs, also exceeding expectations of a gain of 8%.

I recently blew out my 3 spd auto on my 86 C-10, and Im wondering if it is possible to put a 4 spd into my truck, ive already called some guys at the salvage yard and they have 4 of them all 400's
with chevy all most any thing is possible.but do you mean manual or auto?if auto you could use a 700r4
im goin auto for the sake of shift consistency, im fairley new to tranny work so if anyone has any ideas, pictures, databases id be much obliged for the help]
EDIT: now lets say i go with a 4 spd auto, what fits, and will i have to get kickdown rods, manufacture things? Also, Im thinking of adding a tranny cooler, suggestions? Id LOVE to make it a street/low strip truck

[ May 25, 2003: Message edited by: type_zero ]

I assume your talking about a two wheele drive.I got a reply from Paul Poirie that may help,its posted uder replacing 700r4 in f-body with th350 with 9"tail shaft.I dont know what you have for a 3speed but if its long shaft th350 the 700r4 4speed auto will work with your drive shaft,and you will need to get a different detent cable a buddy of mine made the same swap in his scottsdale with not much diffaculty.If it were me building a street\strip I would use a 3speed th350 or th400 they are tougher.

The Rod Ruler is a measuring tape that goes everywhere you fish. Measuring catches up to thirty inches, it's ready the instant the fish is landed. Released fish are accurately measured without adding stress to the catch while you fish for a measuring tape. The Rod Rul-R eliminates guessing of the length of your catches and will help you be sure that your fish are of legal size. Made from the same material as boat decals, sticks to any rod.
|Item #:
|Part Number
I used this on my spearguns. Works great on wood or metal ones. I only wish it went to 36 inches since Barracuda and Sharks have to be 36 inches to keep in California. I recommended this item to all the members of the OC Spearos dive club because it worked out so well.
Super handy to measure on the go. It's so nice not to have to get out a tape for every fish that "might" be a keeper.

I love being a mom and I love metal and rock. I love my job, but I admit it: I would fish for a living if I could! HA!
I have heard the National Anthem sung by professionals a million times but I have never heard it so beautifully!
I love to ski so much! Being from Wyoming and Montana and have lived very close to Lake Tahoe it is hard not to do it!
I realize that this video has 8 Million hits but I have never seen it before until today. So I soon as I did I had to share it!
This 15 year old girl says it all! She has put a lot of thought into her presentation. I have never heard better spoken words than what she says in this video! Amen!
I just thought this picture was amazing! This is in Bideford, Devon, UK and the towns people were not going to let this Old Horse Chestnut Tree get torn down.
What a great idea to do something so cool here in Yakima Valley! And workout while you are at it!This will be Yakima Valleys first ever Color run! The idea is first of all to have fun! Then, to get paint thrown on you while you are running!
It is pretty obvious that this kid needs to skip American Idol and go straight to the big-time!
I know that we all have prom dresses that are just sitting there doing absolutely nothing but taking up room in the closet!
This is an hilarious video! But it seems to me that his firing the guy was premeditated because he set up a video camera or did they set it up so he would get a lot of hits on Youtube!
Well I have been saying it for many years! If you are licensed and you know how to use a gun, when and why then why can't there be a sign for it! Finally Someone created on and I am getting it!

How to Prep your iPad or iPhone for Resale
February 1st, 2012
Since the inception of our Gadget Sale program less than a year ago, we've purchased over $280,000 worth of old gadgets. The number one question we get from customers is how do I prep my device for sale. Following these simple tips will help protect your precious data and keep your personal information safe and secure.
First, you'll need to back up all of your data and settings. Doing so will allow you to effortlessly transfer all of your apps, music, contacts, photos and more over to your new device. One of the quickest ways of accomplishing this is through the use of iCloud. If your device is running on iOS 5 go to: Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now. iCloud will back up all of your app data, Camera Roll, settings, iMessages and ringtones, as well as keep a record of all of your iTunes, App Store and iBooks purchases so you can restore them later. However, iCloud will not back up music or videos you've copied from disks.
If your device is running iOS 4 or later, you will have to back it up using iTunes. Simply plug your device into your computer and iTunes will automatically sync and back up your content.
After you've backed up your data, the next step is to securely remove all of your personal information. The simplest method of clearing out your device is by going to: Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This may take some time depending on how much data you have on your device, so make sure that the battery is fully charged, or plug it in before deleting. When the resetting process is complete you will see a prompt on the screen asking you to connect your device to iTunes. Do not connect your device to iTunes. All this prompt means is that your device has been successfully cleared out and restored to its factory settings.
With these steps complete, your device is now ready to be packaged up and sent away.

Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island
|#22 in Best Bahamas Hotels
|Hotel Class 4.0-star
|Critic Rating Moderate
|Guest Rating
U.S. News Review
If you want to be near the activities and entertainment available at the Atlantis Resort complex, but want to steer clear of the high prices, then this Paradise Island retreat is for you. Recent guests recommend purchasing day-passes for the Atlantis water park and spending your evenings at the resort casino. However, there's no need to spend all your time at another resort. The Hotel Riu Palace occupies prime Paradise Island real estate and offers aquatic activities (like fishing and swimming), all-inclusive dining and the Renova Spa. And when it's time to hit the hay, retreat to your ocean view room, which features free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a private balcony. Though recent guests rave about the well-maintained lodgings and picturesque vistas, they still express disappointment with the property (specifically the pool), saying this outpost isn't up to the Riu brand's high standards.

Re: Control pressure at discharge26 January 2007 at 1:29pmMark Coughran, senior control engineering consultant, Emerson Process Management, provided this answer.
I have seen problems in the past with butterfly valves on large water lines. See, for example, page 10.54 of Process/Industrial Instruments and Control Handbook, 5th edition, McGraw-Hill. However, things have improved since then in the valves, actuators, positioners and application software.
The problems were typically caused by a combination of factors:
- wrong size of valve; valve diameter = pipe diameter, giving high process gain at low travels and low process gain at high travels;
- butterfly disk shape contributing to a poor installed flow characteristic;
- backlash in the disk-to-shaft and shaft-to-actuator connections and inside the actuator;
- poor performance from the valve positioner;
- installed torque not properly accounted in selection of the actuator
Today, control valve vendors offer the following:
- valve sizing software that predicts the installed flow characteristic so that you can see your controller will be able to handle the flow vs. output curve;
- butterfly valves with disk shapes giving more favorable flow and torque characteristics;
- zero-backlash connections inside the valve, the actuator and the connection of the valve to the actuator;
- valve positioners that respond to 0.1% signal changes in less than one second;
- actuator sizing software that predicts the installed torque.
Globe valves typically are too expensive for large process water lines. Your control valve vendor should be able to provide test data on modern butterfly control valves (valve + actuator + positioner) in similar applications. If not, consider a segmented ball valve whose size will probably be smaller than the pipe diameter. On a 14-in. line, this should give a good flow characteristic, reasonable actuator size and dead band less than 0.3% for much lower cost than a globe valve.
Next, you should think about the control strategy. At a minimum, use a controller tuning method that does not oscillate but responds at your required speed, such as Lambda tuning. If you need to control the five lines separately, there will be interaction and balancing concerns. The options range from individual PID controllers to a multivariable controller. All the options are easy to configure and tune in a modern DCS.

Hanwell Carnival
Thousands lined the route of the procession as it made its way to the park from Hanwell Community Centre. Some 350 people, half of them children, took part.
The theme was music and the colourful parade even featured a replica of the Hanwell Community Centre, where The Who, Uriah Heep, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin used to rock and rehearse.
Live music kept feet tapping throughout the day, while the pony rides, crocodiles and petting farm kept children entertained.
There was an array of stalls selling food and crafts, and also a dog show, funfair, and sports zone with QPR. The community arena featured local groups showcasing their skills, such as kabaddi and Polish dancing.
Hanwell resident Jon Clowes said: "It is the best yet. There are more stalls and more things for the children. We've had a great day."
His six-year-old son Archie said he particularly liked the bouncy castle, while his daughter Molly, two, loved the animal zone.
Rachel Miller went with her husband and two-year-old daughter. "It's lovely to see the whole community coming together, talking together and having fun."
Elaine Buchanan, from Perivale, said: "There are plenty of things for children and adults to do. There are lots of charity stalls with information."
Carnival chairman Alastair Mitton said: "We are delighted that an estimated 30,000 people turned up for one of the best carnivals in years. Our charities have all said it exceeded their expectations.
"Hanwell Carnival is an entirely community-organised event and this proves what a strong community there is. What an amazing day, what an amazing place Hanwell is."
Hanwell Carnival is London's oldest, first taking place in 1898, and was established to raise money for the Cottage Hospital (now Ealing Hospital).
The Annual General Meeting of Hanwell Carnival will be held on 5 January 2015. CLICK HERE for more details.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools lost almost 16 percent of its teachers last year, a 10-year high, a state teacher turnover report shows.
Turnover rose statewide, according to the report released this week. CMS' 2012-13 rate of 15.99 percent topped the state average of 14.33 percent. CMS lost a larger percentage of its teachers than surrounding counties and the other largest North Carolina districts, hitting a level not seen since 2002-03.
Educators, lawmakers and advocates across North Carolina have raised concerns that stagnant pay and changes to the state pay structure could lead to the loss of good teachers. The state has slipped to 46th in the nation on average teacher pay, according to tallies by the National Education Association. Republican legislators say they plan to find a way to raise pay in the 2014 session, though they haven't agreed on how to do it.
"We definitely need to show our educators that we appreciate them," said Rep. Bryan Holloway, a Republican House budget writer. "I know they feel beaten up and that they are not appreciated."
The need to increase teacher pay also figured prominently in the state Board of Education's talks Wednesday, when members got the turnover report. "There's unity in wanting to pay teachers more and pay them more as soon as possible," said state board Chairman Bill Cobey. "It's figuring out how to do it."
The new report shows a statewide increase in public school teachers leaving the profession or quitting to teach in private schools or other states. But those numbers remain small compared with the number who switched jobs or school districts while continuing to work for North Carolina public schools.
If there's good news for teachers, it's that layoffs and dismissals are down statewide. Both peaked in 2009-10, when budget cuts walloped districts across North Carolina.
The recession also helped curb teacher turnover because fewer jobs were available for people who might want to leave, education officials said at the time. Turnover hit a low of 11.67 percent in CMS and 11.1 percent statewide in 2009-10. It has been slowly climbing since then. During that stretch, teachers got only one raise, of 1.2 percent.
Bigger losses ahead?
Charles Smith, president of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Association of Educators, speculated that 2013-14 numbers will look worse. The state reports track teachers who leave between March of one year and the next. That means the 2012-13 report doesn't reflect any resignations that came after last summer's controversial decisions to end career status, also known as tenure, and to eliminate extra pay for master's degrees.
Smith, a CMS high school teacher, said he heard the district lost hundreds of teachers in the aftermath of the legislative session.
"It's sad to see that many teachers leaving," he said. "I'm laying it off on the General Assembly."
CMS has long struggled with above-average turnover rates. In 2000-01, the district reported losing almost 22 percent of its teachers. Turnover began to decline, and had been lower than 15 percent since 2007-08.
Small districts traditionally log the highest and the lowest turnover rates, in part because relatively small changes in the number of departures cause bigger year-to-year fluctuations.
In 2012-13 eight districts, all with fewer than 1,000 teachers, had turnover rates higher than 25 percent. Northampton County on the Virginia state line lost 60 of its 171 teachers for a rate just over 35 percent, the state's highest.
In the Charlotte region, only small city districts serving Newton-Conover and Hickory had higher turnover than CMS in 2012-13, at 19.1 percent and 17 percent, respectively. But CMS had a higher five-year average.
Wake County, the state's largest district, saw 12.1 percent of its 9,670 teachers leave. CMS, the second largest, lost 15.99 percent of its 8,309 teachers. Guilford County, which is third, lost 12.9 percent of its 4,960 teachers.
Some medium-sized districts, such as Cumberland (17.08 percent) and Durham (20.16 percent), had higher turnover than CMS.
CMS issues
Judy Kidd, president of the Charlotte-based Classroom Teachers Association, said CMS creates additional pressure on teachers by overemphasizing data. Many principals are urging or forcing teachers to avoid giving students failing grades in an attempt to keep those students on track to be promoted and graduate, she said.
"In CMS, the data has become the tail that wags the dog," Kidd said.
Smith said he has also heard reports of teachers being pressured not to give failing grades. He said he believes former CMS Superintendent Peter Gorman, who left in 2011, created an anti-teacher culture. Superintendent Heath Morrison, hired in 2012, is trying to change that, so far with limited results, Smith said.
"It appears that Dr. Morrison does have teachers' interests at heart, but to an extent his hands are tied by the legislature," he said.
CMS Human Resources Chief Terry Cockerham did not respond to a request for comment Thursday.
Tim Morgan, vice chairman of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board, said decisions about pay, tenure and teacher evaluations are in the hands of state officials, but CMS leaders can help keep teachers by demonstrating support and making sure they put good principals in place.
Why they left
The turnover tally shows that CMS lost 1,329 teachers between March 2012 and March 2013. A little more than 500 of them left for reasons considered beyond control, such as retirement, family relocation or resignations because of family responsibilities.
CMS lost 368 teachers to other districts, charter schools or nonteaching positions in education, the report shows. An additional 375 were classified as personal or other reasons, a category that includes dissatisfaction with teaching, career changes, early retirement and leaving to teach in other states or North Carolina private schools. CMS initiated the departure of 82 teachers, or a little more than 6 percent of the workforce, through dismissals, forced resignations and contracts that weren't renewed.
State numbers reflected similar proportions.
Charter schools, which are proliferating in North Carolina, played a small but growing role in recruiting teachers from school districts. Statewide, school districts reported losing 145 teachers to charter schools, almost matching the total from the previous three years combined. Charter schools are alternative public schools that report to independent boards.

The River Food Pantry a Wonderful East-Side Resource
Dane County's busiest food pantry provides much-needed food, clothing and resources
The first thing you notice is the flowers. And that's a surprise. This is a food pantry. There's no mistaking it. We entered through a back door off the loading dock of the Natural Ovens bakery plant next door. And right away you see the shelves of food, a room with clothing off to the side, and a couple dozen long banquet tables set up to the right. And of course those colorful bouquets of fresh flowers on every table, signaling that something special happens here.
We've found the genuine article in some pretty interesting places over the years. The effort to get fresh produce into the food pantry at St. Vinny's on Fish Hatchery Road comes to mind. But there's no denying that the mix of respect, pride and generosity at the River Food Pantry is the real deal. Surrounded by low-income neighborhoods and subsidized senior housing ("just where we're needed most"), the River is an oasis.
It claims to be Dane County's busiest food pantry, feeding an estimated five hundred families per week. It has grown from its opening in 2006 to provide some twenty-five thousand pounds of food every week and as much freeclothing as it can collect. It operates on the grocery store model: folks get a shopping cart and they're free to choose what they like based on a weight limit (and there's a point system for meat and dairy). Thanks to a variety of partners, especially Cub Foods, clients can take as much bread and produce as they'd like. Dozens of volunteers,including an invaluable group of former inmates in a work-release program, indistinguishable from everybody else, are on hand to assist with collecting the food, check-out and drive-up service.
But the true spirit of the place is found on Friday nights when somewhere around 180 families show up for dinner. The River is the passion of Andy and Jenny Czerkas and when we arrive a little after 5 p.m. on a warm August Friday, they are everywhere at once preparing for the evening's service. Jenny's organizing the clothing room, check-in and name tag distribution, coupon collection and more. Andy's got some two dozen volunteers, including a great group of high school students from the Buckets of Hope program assigned to around ten specific tasks. Two of the student volunteers eagerly take on the kids area where children can play with balloons twisted into animals, hats and swords. (Before the night is over Jenny will have a word with a slightly wild young swashbuckler.)
We join the food service team, and when longtime volunteer and board member Jim Carrier says he needs one or two people at the front to hand out plates to each guest we step up. "You need to greet the guests," he tells us, "and make them feel welcome. Talk 'em up." If anybody needs extra help there are volunteer waitstaff. Chef Ray was able to get some nice-looking beef this week and he's been preparing beef Rouladen for the last twenty-four hours or so. Carrier tells the team he personally helped peel and rice the potatoes. There's corn on the cob and fresh fruit salad and a variety of attractive desserts. There's an air of professionalism. Ray's in his whites with a meat thermometer sticking out of his pocket. We're all wearing clean aprons and our freshly washed hands are gloved. And people are smiling and friendly. Usually there's live music. And of course, the flowers. "Take the flowers with you when you leave," Andy tells the guests, "but wait until after service has ended so everyone can enjoy them." And on another Friday night, in a time of increasing need, the Czerkases and their team of volunteers served dinner, handed out groceries, supplied clothing—and created community—for hundreds of people.

Merlin Holland
Christopher Merlin Vyvyan Holland (born 1945, London) is a biographer and editor. He is the son of the author Vyvyan Holland and his second wife, Thelma Besant, and is the only grandchild of Oscar Wilde.[1][2]
Although he is a direct male-line descendent of Oscar Wilde, his last name is Holland because Wilde's wife, Constance, changed her children's surname to Holland, an old family name on her side to avoid shame after Wilde's trial for gross indecency, and subsequent imprisonment and fall from grace.
For the last 30 years Holland has studied and researched Wilde′s life.[1] He is the co-editor, with Rupert Hart-Davis, of The Complete Letters of Oscar Wilde,[2][3] and the editor of Irish Peacock and Scarlet Marquess, the first uncensored version of his grandfather's 1895 trials, (also titled The Real Trial of Oscar Wilde for release in the US).[4] Holland has criticized Richard Ellmann′s 1989 biography, Oscar Wilde, as inaccurate, particularly the claim of syphilis.[2][5]
Holland has also written The Wilde Album, a small volume that included hitherto unpublished photographs of Wilde.[3][6] The book focuses on how the scandal caused by Wilde's trials affected his family, most notably his wife, Constance, and their children, Cyril and Vyvyan. In 2006, his book Oscar Wilde: A Life in Letters was published, and his volume Coffee with Oscar Wilde, an imagined conversation with Oscar, was released in the autumn of 2007.[1] Holland also wrote A Portrait of Oscar Wilde (2008), which reveals Wilde through manuscripts and letters from the Lucia Moreira Salles collection, located at the The Morgan Library & Museum in New York City.[1]
In addition, Holland has also worked as a wine writer and occasionally written features for Country Life, and The Oldie.[1] Holland briefly toyed with the idea of changing his name back to Wilde: He told The New York Times in 1998, "But if I did it, it would have to be not just for Oscar, but for his father and mother, too, for the whole family. It was an extraordinary family before he came along, so if I put the family name back on the map for the right reasons, then it's all right."[6]
In July 2013, Holland gave the keynote address for a symposium on Oscar Wilde presented by The Santa Fe Opera. The address surveyed the popular and critical attitudes towards Wilde and his work from the end of his life to the present day. The symposium was given in conjunction with the opera company's world premiere presentations of Oscar, which was composed by Theodore Morrison from a libretto written by John Cox and the composer.[7]
Holland's play The Trials of Oscar Wilde, co-authored with John O'Connor and re-enacting the 1895 trials of Lord Queensberry for libel and Oscar Wilde for gross indecency, toured the United Kingdom in 2014 in a production by the European Arts Company.[8][9]
He lives in Burgundy, France with his partner. Holland's son, Lucian Holland (born 1979), Oscar Wilde's only great-grandchild, studied classics at Magdalen College,[2] and is a computer programmer, living in London. Both were present at the unveiling of a statue commemorating their famous ancestor. Lucian was given rooms in Magdalen College which Wilde had once occupied.

Martin Lexmond has been chosen by the School Board to become Shorewood School District's new superintendent.
The board sat in closed session multiple times over the last two weeks, deliberating between Lexmond - currently superintendent of the Kohler Public School District - and current Lake Bluff Elementary Principal Kirk Juffer, weighing the candidates against the criteria gleaned from multiple community input sessions.
"We looked at that information and how well Martin fit with that," School Board member Colin Plese said. "We considered community feedback, and our own feedback."
Lexmond will succeed current Superintendent Blane McCann, who has been with the district for nine years and will soon become superintendent of Westside Community School District in Omaha, Neb.
"It is truly humbling to have an opportunity to serve the Shorewood community. Shorewood is known and respected for its commitment to student excellence," Lexmond said in a district news release. "I am excited to lead a team with such an enthusiasm for the education of its children."
Lexmond is expected to begin the job July 1.

Hear we go, I want to hear it. I keep hearing preconceived notions from people about the rebuild of the Silent Swamp Trail on Tiger. It's pretty interesting to hear peoples notions of this trail, so I'd like to hear it and see where peoples toughs land.
But first,did you know?
The trail is going to be 2.75-3 miles long.
Add a 450' decent in to NWT!
Make real nice low Mtn loops!
We are a litle more then 2/3rds the way done with the trail.
Make Tiger a Top to Bottom singletrack ride.
Is almost all in zones that will not be logged ever or for a long time!
It's actually not in a Swamp, Crazy I know.
There's corners, rocks, drops, steeps, roots, switchbacks and lots of other goodies.
There will be a little of something for everyone on this trail, unless you like to riding thru mud holes, we got rid of those!
But don't take my word for it, Just look at whats already in the dirt!
So does this look like a trail that you would like to ride?
And if you haven't seen this video, we shot the whole thing on this trail.
Silent Swamp - An Evergreen Trail Building Mockumentary Video - Pinkbike
*******************This trail is still very much closed to everyone that is NOT at an active work party. Please do NOT go ride it to "check it out". There are bridges that still need to go in that cross wet areas that no one needs to be walking thru.*************************
If you want to "check it out" come to a work party and I will show you around some.

Joe Biden's Niece Arrested For Being Angry And Late With The Rent
Caroline Biden, the VP's niece, was arrested at her TriBeCa apartment this morning after taking a swing at a female police officer.
NYPD were called to the 26-year-old's apartment at 9:15am. While paperwork was being filled out, Biden started "mouthing off," "threw a punch," and then "lunged at" an officer. She was swiftly arrested and described to the New York Post as "highly uncooperative" bye a source.
Biden, a Georgetown University grad and the daughter of Joe's brother, James Sr., was reportedly several months behind on her rent, which led to the scuffle.
"I wasn't there, she's renting from me," Anne Marie Yacopetti, who wasn't present during the argument and subsequent arrest, told the Post.
Yacopetti sublets the apartment to Biden and the other roommate, who share the converted one-bedroom apartment.
Back in 2009, Biden was briefly detained after arguing with an Amtrak official over train fare.

Noranda Announces Plans For New Debt Financing
Noranda Aluminum Holding Corporation (NYSE: NOR) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved plans to pursue a debt refinancing of the Company's senior secured credit facility, including both its term loan and revolving credit facility. The refinancing is expected to result in two new senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of approximately $550 million, comprised of a term loan in an amount of approximately $300 million, and an asset-based revolving credit facility in an amount of approximately $250 million, which is anticipated to be undrawn at closing. The proceeds of the refinancing are anticipated to be used for repayment of amounts outstanding under Noranda's Term Loan B, a tender offer for a portion of Noranda's outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015, the issuance of a special dividend in the amount of approximately $1.25 per share and general corporate purposes. The timing and size of any potential refinancing and the use of proceeds thereof, including the size and timing of any dividend, are subject to market and other conditions, and Noranda makes no assurance that such actions, including any special dividend, will take place at any specific time, or at all.
"Our plan to opportunistically pursue a refinancing of our senior secured credit facility and extend our debt maturity profile is supported by both our healthy balance sheet and strength in the global capital markets," said Layle K. (Kip) Smith, Noranda's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe that this refinancing is consistent with our model of prudently providing stockholders meaningful cash returns and driving stockholder value creation through business reinvestment and strategic growth."
About the Company
Noranda Aluminum Holding Corporation is a leading North American integrated producer of value-added primary aluminum products, as well as high quality rolled aluminum coils. Noranda is a public company controlled by affiliates of its private equity sponsor.

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
The satirical newspaper The Onion is in trouble with the U.S. Capitol police. Yesterday, The Onion reported gunshots at the Capitol and said congressional leaders took schoolchildren hostage, supposedly demanding $12 trillion in cash. Police were not amused and felt obliged to issue a denial. A spokesman says, quote, "There is no credibility to the stories in the fake newspaper. Our politics have not yet grown that absurd."
