The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Bush visits Titans
Green Bay -- Packers cornerback Jarrett Bush visited the Tennesee Titans on Friday, a league source said.
Bush is a restricted free agent that was not tendered at a compensation level. If he is signed by another team, the Packers can match the offer. If they don't, the Packers will not receive any compensation.
Bush just completed his third season with the Packers after being claimed off the waivers of the Carolina Panthers in 2008. He was the primary nickel back in '07 but slipped down the depth chart last season and primarily played on special teams.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
- Antimicrobial
- Improving Appetite
- Indigestion
- Polycystic Ovary Disease
- Ulcers
Most Americans consider cinnamon a simple flavoring, but in traditional Chinese medicine, it's one of the oldest remedies, prescribed for everything from diarrhea and chills to influenza and parasitic worms. Cinnamon comes from the bark of a small Southeast Asian evergreen tree and is available as an oil, extract, or dried powder. It's closely related to cassia ( C. cassia ) and contains many of the same components, but the bark and oils from C. zeyleanicum are thought to have a better flavor.
What Is Cinnamon Used for Today?Based on the results of one preliminary double-blind, placebo-controlled study, cinnamon has been widely advertised as an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes as well as high cholesterol . However, the evidence for this is mixed. Germany's Commission E approves cinnamon for improving appetite and relieving indigestion ; however, these uses are not backed by reliable scientific evidence. 1 Two animal studies weakly suggest that an extract of cinnamon bark taken orally may help prevent stomach ulcers . 2,3 Preliminary results from test tube and animal studies suggest that cinnamon oil and cinnamon extract have antifungal, antibacterial, and antiparasitic properties. 4-10 For example, cinnamon has been found to be active against Candida albicans , the fungus responsible for vaginal yeast infections and thrush (oral yeast infection), Helicobacter pylori (the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers), and even head lice. However, it's a long way from studies of this type to actual proof of effectiveness. Until cinnamon is tested in double-blind human trials, we can't conclude that it can successfully treat these or any other infections. (For why double-blind studies are so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )

Today was another busy day in a city by a bay. With the Cisco Live gears fully engaged, there were more sessions, more classes, and more of everything going on. Our product teams did presentations and trainings throughout the day. And the Collaboration booth was hopping, even without the lure of tradeshow-trick-or-treat swag. We had a constant stream of people checking out the latest collaboration goods and digging into details with product managers. I kept expecting a lull in activity. It never happened.

sounds like u need a new power supply, thats what happened to me awhile back and sent it into m$ but you cant since its modded. that happened to me b4 i wzas ever in the mod scene. well try a different power supply if u can get ur hands on one but make sure it goes with your version of xbox and if that one works with no probs den you need to get a new power supply from ebay or sum online store that sells xbox power supplys.
Posted 25 June 2005 - 10:29 PM
Thanks for the info. I will check on ebay for some power supplys. Is it difficult to replace? Any online guides? Thanks Again!
Posted 25 June 2005 - 10:34 PM
If you have a soldering iron, you can try to repair the 2 solder points. If you don't feel comfortable doing that though, I'd recommend a new PSU. Make sure you get the correct version. I wouldn't use it until it is fixed or replaced though.
Posted 26 June 2005 - 02:12 AM
In terms of replacing the power supply it is absolutly no problem whatsoever
i can see that you already opened your xbox to put in a modchip and harddrive. thats the hardest part, opening your xbox.
unplug the cable going to the motherboard and to the hardrive
after that unscrew the old power supply (2 Screws, thats right only 2)
screw in the new power supply
reattach wires to corresponding sockets
and your done.
pretty easy fix

A fatal shooting was followed by a massive manhunt in Rolla Thursday night. About three hours after the murder, the armed and dangerous suspect was arrested.
When Phelps County officers arrived at a home on Private Drive 7136 just outside of Rolla, the victim, 57 year old Richard Finnell was already deceased.
"Waited until they came home, according to the report I have, then he confronted them with a firearm," says Phelps County Prosecuting Attorney John Beger.
Investigators believe 60 year old David Lundin broke into the home through a window and used the female homeowner's shotgun to commit the crime, then walked away with the gun in hand.
Captain Rick Hope of the Phelps County Sheriff's Department says, "What it told us was that committing such a serious crime like that and then taking a weapon with you, you may harm somebody else, and that was our concern."
About 80 officers from Phelps County, Rolla and Missouri State Highway Patrol began a massive search for Lundin.
Rolla resident Breanna Hill says, "I got on my phone, and then I got on Facebook, and I just saw like a whole bunch of posts like there's a murderer on the loose. I looked to see who was posting it to see if they were just joking around, and I went and told my mom about it."
Around 8:40 PM, witnesses in a neighborhood in the 1200 block of Winchester Drive called 911, saying they had seen a suspicious man on foot, with a gun. Officers responded and found Lundin behind one of the houses along a walking trail.
"I looked outside, and there was cops like all down the street," says Hill.
Hope says, "The law enforcement coming together as a team and apprehending this suspect the way they did in the short amount of time, to me, is just amazing."
David Lundin is charged with first degree murder and is being held without bond. He has an extensive criminal history including armed robbery and forcible rape.

NatraBio, Sciatica Neuralgia, 1 fl oz (30 ml)
By NatraBio7 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jun 2020
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.34 lbs (0.15 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

In the recent past I have come across several issues where our customers have started running into System.Net.WebException while trying to access a web resource (web service, webpage etc) hosted locally on the same machine using some HostName. This issue started coming up after installing SP1 for .NET Framework 3.5 . The exception details are similar to the following:
The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL: 1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example: <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %> or: 2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application: <configuration> <system.web> <compilation debug="true"/> </system.web> </configuration> Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode. Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

After investigating this further we found that while accessing web-resource NTLM Authentication was being used. To reproduce the issue, create a simple Test Web-Site running on some different port. Also add a hostname to the site as www.test.com and add an entry for it in your Host file (located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc). Add a simple asp page in this Test Web Site which displays the current time. The code for it will look like below -
In the Default Web Site add a page called default.aspx. The code for that will look like below -
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Net" %>
<script runat="server">
protected void btnCallService_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://www.test.com:81/Time.asp");
request.Method = "GET";
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
Response.Write (responseFromServer);
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:Button ID="btnCallService" runat="server" onclick="btnCallService_Click"
Text="Invoke Web Service" />
Now browse the Default.aspx and click on button and expected behavior is it should show the current time in the browser. But instead we end up getting exception mentioned above.
The reason for the exception is post .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 Windows authentication defaults to NTLM authentication when the CustomTargetNameDictionary property is not set. NTLM authentication includes a challenge issued by the destination computer and sent back to the client computer. When a computer receives a challenge generated by itself, the authentication will fail resulting in exception mentioned as above unless the connection is a loop back connection. You can find additional details in the article.
There are two possible methods for a server application to work around this change. The recommended approach is to map the host name used in the request URL to the BackConnectionHostNames key in the registry on the server. The BackConnectionHostNames registry key is normally used to map a host name to a loopback address. To specify the host names that are mapped to the loopback address and can connect to Web sites on a local computer, follow these steps -
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
3. Right-click MSV1_0, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
4. Type BackConnectionHostNames, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click BackConnectionHostNames, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type the host name or the host names for the sites (the host name used in the request URL) that are on the local computer, and then click OK. In our case it would be www.test.com.
7. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the IISAdmin service and run IISReset.
A less secure work around is to disable the loop back check, as described in this article. This disables the protection against reflection attacks. So it is better to constrain the set of alternate names to only those you expect the machine to actually use.
I hope this helps!
can you give me a full file of using this c# and email form i am encountering an error in my web.config please email me here email@example.com thanks. nice work here.

But I'm pimping, nigga: Dolemite
Lyric Meaning
Dolemite was a pimp and a bad mofo who was unlawfully sentenced to 20 years in jail in the movie of the same name. He was like the old-school Black Dynamite.
This could also be a reference to a specific line in Waka Flocka Flame's song "Round of Applause".

Good Scoop
posted 7 years ago
I find this scoop with the many round sifting holes to be better then the scoops with long open slats for sifting litter. The holes catch it all and return the clean litter back into the box. The longer handle is welcomed.
Pros: Better than scoop slats
Cons: None

All things 100
Sherman Elementary School first-graders in Traci Marrocco, Lynn Ceidenberg and Hollie Read's classes celebrated the 100th day of school on Friday by decorating their shirts with 100 items. Designs ranged from 100 buttons, 100 hand-drawn basketballs, a dog with 100 spots, 100 googly eyes, pom-poms or stickers, and even 100 dots forming a tie. In addition to showing off their shirts, students in first grade and kindergarten created necklaces with 100 fruit loops on the string, which they enjoyed eating throughout the day.

Cursive frontman Tim Kasher will release his debut EP, The Game, of Monogamy on October 5th via Saddle Creek Records. Cursive members Patrick Newbery and Matt Maginn on board, as well as Erin Tate (Minus The Bear), and the LP is reportedly a more "arranged" affair than his previous efforts with Cursive and The Good Life, with "strings, harp, oboe, flute, and trombone, among other instruments" all present on the record. Members of the Glacier National Symphony played the classical instrument parts.
Kasher will hit the road in celebration of the LP's release in the tail end of September, tagging The Rock Shop on October 6 (the day after the release). Tickets are on sale now (Marnie Stern plays the same venue one day earlier).
Kasher headlined a show at the Tonic Room in Chicago last month, performing material from the new album for the first time. Video from that show, as well as the tracklisting, album cover, and tour dates are below...

Cursive @ SXSW 2009 (more by Leia Jospe)
Cursive is going on tour with... with Alkaline Trio and openers The Dear & Departed. It starts February 16th in California and ends in Los Angeles on the second day of April.

The tour stops on March 11th at Philadelphia's Trocadero and on March 13th at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ.

DOWNLOAD: Box Elders - Hole in My Head (MP3)
Box Elders @ Market Hotel in January (more by Tim Griffin)
Box Elders are heading out on a late summer tour that'll run through September. The trip includes NYC stops at the Cake Shop and Monster Island Basement on September 15th and 16th, respectively. The band just completed a tour with Cursive. That included one show at the Glass House in Pomona, CA...
"But unlike the thrashing, epic moodiness bandied about by Tim Kasher and gang, Box Elders had a tendency toward the lighter side of life. Offering a no frills mixture of bass, guitar and a drummer/keyboardist (I must admit, that was a pretty neat trick), Box Elders entertained the crowd with a puree of punk, pop and surf rock vibes (a bit odd for a band from Omaha, Nebraska but maybe that was the point). Bassist/vocalist Clayton McIntyre and his bro, guitarist/vocalist Jeremiah McIntryre attacked each tune with doubled, sing songy vocals that offered a bit of force behind Dave Goldberg's heavy handed drumming on songs like "One Foot in Front of the Other". All-in-all, their vaguely second wave brand of pop punk induced plenty of sweat amongst their biggest P-Town fans which seemed to bop up and down in the center of the crowd. The majority of us were pretty content with just standing there." [OC Weekly]The band's debut LP, Alice and Friends--"named after the band's favorite cult run vegan Korean BBQ"-- is set to come out August 4th on Memphis's Goner Records (which, along with Matador Direct, is one of the labels that's distributing Jay Reatard's Shattered Records imprint which also has plans to work with Box Elders) (cover art and more here).
The A-side off the band's debut 7-inch is above. Some videos of the band that Bill took live at Bruar Falls in April, with all tour dates, below...

"What could have been a Texan spectacular for the last night of South By Southwest was a near-debacle instead. It was a double bill at the Auditorium Shores riverside amphitheater with Erykah Badu and the Cannabinoids, her digitally oriented producers from Dallas, and Explosions in the Sky, Austin's majestic instrumental rock band.We already posted the EITS portion of this set, as well as Jacob's pics from the Frodus show earlier that day (3/21), not to mention what he captured on Friday, Thursday and Wednesday.
Thousands of people showed up for the free concert. The Cannabinoids started without Ms. Badu, dispensing drumbeats, chords, samples and brief phrases from small digital keyboards. They announced that all the beats were live -- good -- and that what they were playing was unrehearsed. Not so good. And they went on and on, for about a half hour, cycling through variations on two downtempo chords and asking if the crowd was ready for Ms. Badu. The answer was increasingly obvious by the time the Cannabinoids tapered off and someone announced that Ms. Badu had had "travel incidents."
The Cannabinoids left the stage while the audience wondered what was going on, then returned, soon to be joined by Ms. Badu, in a gray T-shirt and a white top hat. Their vamp turned into "The Healer/Hip-Hop," and Ms. Badu sang it with her tangy, playful coo, followed by an older song, "Danger." Afterward she teased, "Let's go into hyperspace and blow up the sky," which did sound promising. But it meant she was ending her set to make way for Explosions in the Sky." [NY Times]
Erykah Badu and the Cannabinoids also performed once or twice with Kanye West while in Austin. The rest of Jacob's Saturday pics, below...

These Arms Are Snakes / Thao / Daniel Johnston & Hymns
Thirteen bands were scheduled to play the BrooklynVegan / Agency Group day party in Austin on Thursday, March 19, 2009. Twelve ended up playing - one of them twice. I think the story is that The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, who had a zillion other shows also scheduled during the SXSW week, got confused about what their set time was. For that reason (and traffic), they showed up too late to go on in their slot. Instead, The Wheel, who was our last-minute addition as opener on the inside stage, immediately went outside and played a second set on the larger outdoor stage in the late band's place. We got at least one "boo" when the "scheduling mixup" was announced, but what could we do? (sorry!) It was awesome of the Wheel to fill on a moment's notice. Hopefully the people outside enjoyed him after they got over the awkwardness. I didn't watch his second set, but he sounded amazing inside.
Due to overlap on the two stages, it was hard to see everyone that played the party. The most painful two decisions were Cursive or the Wrens, and These Arms or Snakes or Daniel Johnston. I think we originally had it worked out a little better in terms of that, but the main stage started to run late. I went back and forth and caught pieces of as much as I could (and all of Daniel).
Thanks to everyone who came!
Leia managed to catch 8 of the 12 bands (she missed The Wheel, Avett Brothers, New Villager and Au Revoir Simone). Her pictures are below...

Cursive @ Union Hall (more by Natasha Ryan)
On March 1st, Saddle Creek and Cursive began offering Cursive's new album Mama, I'm Swollen as a digital download for only $1 through the Saddle Creek website, launching a special promotion to allow fans to buy the album early at a lower cost. For eight days, the new album was available as a digital download at a pro-rated price that increased by $1 each day (i.e., the price is $2 on March 2nd, $3 on March 3rd, $4 on March 4th, etc.). When the record hits stores on March 10th, the digital album will then remain at the regular price of $9.The first of Cursive's eight pre-SXSW shows is the sold out performance at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn tonight (3/9). The King Left and Peasant are opening. The second show, also sold out, is Tuesday at Bowery Ballroom where Bear Hands and Mañana are opening.
The band will be on the road during March, playing eight shows around the release of Mama, I'm Swollen and leading up to multiple performances at SXSW.
One of Cursive's SXSW performances will be at the free BrooklynVegan day party at Radio Room in Austin on March 19th (that Thao is also playing). More details TBA. Another one of their SXSW shows is the party The Van Pelt and Frodus are reuniting at. All Cursive dates below...

2009 has seen the world economy crumble due to the unethical practices of businessmen and corporate oligarchy. The current administration with the assistance of Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve, has reached out to the Frodus Conglomerate International for aid. Calls were made, doors were closed and numbers adjusted. After weeks of vicious negotiation both parties agreed on a proper course of action.I couldn't resist... I had to rock that whole quote. That's right... Frodus is BACK and playing SXSW as part of Slip Productions and Lovitt Records day party at The Radio Room on March 21st with Cursive, Young Widows, The Van Pelt (who are reuniting), Des Ark, Milemarker, Pygmy Lush, and a boatload of others. Full details are below and MP3s of some of the participants are above.
The Frodus Conglomerate International will address the public for the first time in 10 years on Saturday March 21st, 2009 at 4:35 pm in Austin, Texas. Austin will be the first of several public forums to address current global conditions forewarned by the FCI in years past. The Conglomerate has employed Liam Wilson of the Dillinger Escape Plan to supply bass guitar for this address while Nathan Burke organizes his North-West Contingency. We are the economic police.
Frodus recently reissued their 1998 album Conglomerate International on 2LP mastered at 45RPM. Limited to 600. Um, get on that.
Shelby Cinca of Frodus was recently interviewed on Dissonance Radio. Download that podcast here.

There will be celebrations across the city and around the world today as people mark the Year of the Ox. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The holiday, also known as the Chinese New Year, is traditionally a time for gift giving and celebration. Each year is named after one of 12 animals. Festivities in the city include the annual firecracker ceremony and culture festival in Chinatown.today in NYC
"For Chinatown, the Chinese New Year is always good because it's the start of a new beginning," said Better Chinatown Society President Nathan Conan. "Anything that's bad should be gone and we welcome the new beginning. So it's a good cultural festival to remind the Chinese who they are and where they came from."
"The lion dance basically is when the lion comes in," said Gregory Gong of the New York Freemason Athletic Club. "It's supposed to get rid of all the evil spirits and everything like that and it's supposed to bring good luck and good fortune to whoever it is."
The holiday is celebrated by more than a billion people around the world. [NY1]

"We're going to do our sound check now, usually we have other people do this, but it's the recession," said a joking Tim Kasher as he took the stage nearly an hour after the scheduled 11:30pm slot. Sunday night's (1/18) sold out show at Union Hall in Brooklyn was Omaha based Cursive's third stop of their brief 2009 winter tour; the night before they played Cleveland and spent Sunday making the 470 mile drive to New York. On their previous tour the band concentrated on material from their upcoming album, and Sunday's show offered much of the same, with a healthy amount of older songs dating back to the 1996 release The Disruption.
They began with appropriate opener "Some Red-Handed Sleight of Hand" off The Ugly Organ, as Kasher bellowed, "And now we proudly present / Songs perverse and songs of lament," to the rabid crowd who matched the howls and cries with eerie precision, a display of dedicated fandom always prevalent during the live shows. Using the meticulous formula of playing beloved sing-a-longs while slyly slipping in foreign tracks, Cursive found the perfect pacing for the set, keeping the energy high and the audience engaged. The sound from the unreleased album Mama, I'm Swollen is not surprisingly different than 2006's Happy Hallow; it's moodier than the vivacious rhythmic arrangements of the acclaimed album and returns to slower, darker renditions more akin to earlier recordings.
In true fashion, Cursive's songs were broken up by humorous rants from Kasher and passive aggressive exchanges with the audience teetering on the brink of seriousness yet duly self-aware of the symbiotic relationship. "Who said fuck you? Come up on stage!" Kasher screamed, in response to a cliched taunt from one audience member. "You sir, are going to buy me a double shot of Jameson for knocking my drink over. During Thanksgiving, when you're sitting with your family eating dinner- I'm going to come in and shout fuck you too!" It might seem abrasive on paper, but the playful rowdiness often serves as a notable function of his stage persona. Surprisingly, during "Art is Hard" former member Gretta Cohn did not come out on stage to play cello, though her Brooklyn based band Twin Thousands opened the show.
Towards the end of the set a giddy Kasher informed the crowd of his proposal to his girlfriend earlier that day, and then brought her up to briefly make out on stage. It was just the beginning of the strange antics that later ensued, with Kasher's frequent signature facial contortions and silly inebriated ramblings, at one point claiming he wanted to blow up a building. The loud set was rough and almost deafening at times due to the sound at Union Hall, but it never detracted from the experience. For the encore Kasher promised, "We're not pandering, we just want to play these songs," and dived off the stage during "Sierra", knocking beers over and dragging the microphone stand to belt out the anthem in the middle of the floor.
McCarthy Trenching also opened, and then Cursive played Mercury Lounge in Manhattan the next day. You can next catch Cursive in March when they play the suitably sized venues (3/09) Music Hall of Williamsburg and (3/10) Bowery Ballroom.

In the laundry list of genre labels thrown at Cursive, "folk" and "metal" are two that don't crop up very often.Cursive now officialy have four NYC shows coming up.
But for the second time in the band's career, those are the unusual sounds Tim Kasher and co. are trying to create while writing the band's sixth full-length record.
"We joked a lot on Happy Hollow about how we were trying to do a new brand of folk metal, but it didn't turn out," Kasher said. "It was brought up at practice the other day that maybe this is getting closer to folk metal. Like, I say that, and it's not going to sound anything like folk metal." [the Maneater]

DOWNLOAD: Benjy Ferree - Fear (MP3)
Come Back To The Five And Dime, Bobby Dee Bobby Dee, the second full-length album from Ferree, is a musical eulogy to the forgotten child star, Bobby Driscoll. After "portraying" Peter Pan in the 1953 Disney feature, Driscoll faced the reality of growing up in a world without Neverland and was fired from Disney after the making of Peter Pan for the unforgivable crime of hitting puberty and developing acne. No longer cute and profitable, he struggled to find work and fell into a life-long battle with drugs until ultimately dying homeless and broke in a Manhattan tenement in 1968 at the age of 31. With police unable to identify his body, the Academy Award winner ended up in an unmarked pauper's grave on New York's Hart Island.Benjy Ferree plays Union Hall in Brooklyn tonight/Thursday (12/4).The track above is from the new album, coming out February 3, 2009 on Domino.
Ferree's eventual discovery of Driscoll's sad fate led to this album - an allegorical ode not just to his childhood hero, but to anyone who's gotten the short end of the stick in life . Musically, Ferree lets his distinctive blend of rock and roll and Americana across new borders and genres. Drawing as much from the country meandering of Jimmie Rodgers and the passionate blues pounding of Son House as he does from the vocal hysterics of Freddie Mercury and the balladry of Nick Cave, Ferree crafts a sound that is difficult to fit into any one category, but upon listening is as gratifying as it is unique.
Tickets are on sale for Cursive's upcoming show at Union Hall (1/18). Tickets for their Mercury Lounge show (1/19) are now on Am Ex presale (regular sale starts Friday). Cursive also added a January 17th show at Grog Shop in Cleveland which is also on sale.

Networks Steer Ford Stories to 'Hard Times,' Ignoring Other Firms on Track
The offer of wide-scale buyouts at Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) gave networks news shows a new excuse to claim – falsely – that the U.S. auto industry is "now struggling to survive."
NBC's report was even headlined "Hard Times," which movie fans will catch as an un-subtle reference to a 1975 film about struggles during the Great Depression. But things aren't that bad for the entire auto industry; just for the Big Three – Ford, GM (NYSE: GM) and Daimler-Chrysler (NYSE: DCX). A February 13 BusinessWeek article told "The Good News About America's Auto Industry."
According to that piece, "Look past the trouble in Detroit, and the auto industry is anywhere but in decline. In a growing number of Southern hamlets such as Canton, Toyota (TM ), Honda (HMC ), Mercedes and other foreign car manufacturers are providing nonunionized jobs – 33,000 since 2000 – that pay almost as much as United Auto Workers earn farther north."
But the networks focused almost entirely on Ford. NBC anchor Brian Williams introduced his story by saying Ford "has made a change that will change the way business is done by doing away with tens of thousands of unionized workers." Ford is "doing away" with those workers by offering them buyouts worth up to $140,000 each.
The company has been battling high union wages and benefits along with foreign-owned competition like Honda and Toyota. But neither of these explanations figured prominently on the September 14 evening news shows. BusinessWeek explained that foreign-car companies' employees here in the United States earn a bit less and have slightly less in benefits. But that adds up. One area of major difference is retirement. Nissan, for example, uses a 401(k) instead of a defined benefit plan like Detroit's autoworkers.
Both CBS and ABC admitted Ford needs what CBS's Anthony Mason called "radical surgery to survive." And all three networks talked about how the company's sales had gone down. On ABC's "World News with Charles Gibson," reporter Dean Reynolds had a partial explanation: "Heavily invested in gas-guzzling SUVs, at a time of high pump prices, its sales have plummeted."
But both foreign competition and the huge cost of salaries and benefits for Ford's union labor received attention only at NBC.
NBC's Reynolds described Ford as "pummeled by high gas prices and fierce foreign competition, particularly from Toyota." He made only a passing reference to the benefits crisis Detroit's manufacturers have been coping with: "It gives them breathing space and hopefully a more predictable issue dealing with the funding of pensions and health care."
Recently, the story of American automotive success has come from companies like Toyota and Honda. Toyota moved into the No. 3 spot in American auto sales and "continued to take market share from other automakers last month, posting an industry-best 17 percent increase in sales," according to the Associated Press.

This is a goodie. Really satisfying and filling with great flavours. The only change I'd recommend is not to finely chop the proscuitto as it tended to get lost amongst the barley and mushrooms. Next time I would chop into aprrox 2cm squares, so as to have more of the meat obvious. I ommitted the parsley as I didn't have any available and I don't think this dewtracted from the flavours to any great extent. Left overs the next day were also enjoyed. Made and enjoyed for Aussie / Kiwi Swap October 2012.

Friday's Health Winners & Losers
(RDY - Get Report) fell 3.3% to $15.90 after pricing a public offering of 12.5 million American depositary shares at $16 each. The offering, which is expected to close on Nov. 22, excludes the underwriter's over-allotment option. The company previously filed a registration and preliminary supplement prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed offering of up to 13.5 million ADS's, excluding the over-allotment.Drugmaker AMDL (ADL) jumped 8.9% to $5.12 after its China subsidiary Jade Pharmaceutical received approval from regulators there for its antibiotic levofloxacin. The drug, which will be used to treat conditions like pneumonia and urinary tract infections, belongs to a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones. AMDL says the group represents the fastest-growing type of antibacterials in terms of revenue and is being used increasingly to treat a broad range of infections. Genentech (DNA) gained 1.4% to $81.87 as it received an additional regulatory approval for its breast-cancer drug Herceptin. The drug can now be used, along with a regimen of doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel chemotherapy, as a treatment of early-stage, localized lymph-node positive breast cancer in patients also classified as positive for the protein known as HER2. Pharmaceutical company Shire (SHPGY) reported positive data from clinical research on an investigational drug for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Still, Shire lost 0.7% to $59.83. Based on study results on patients aged 6 to 17 years old, the drug, guanfacine extended release, significantly improved symptoms of ADHD when used by itself. Results were presented at the annual meeting of the U.S. Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress late Thursday. Allergan (AGN - Get Report) rose 3% in late trading after the U.S. approved a silicone-gel implant made by its Inamed unit. The decision ended a 14-year virtual ban on the implants despite lingering safety concerns, the Associated Press reported. Mentor (MNT) also received approval for its implant product. Allergan rose $3.60 to $116.10. Shares in Mentor were halted.Generic drugmaker Dr. Reddy's Laboratories

menu a touch limited but they concentrate on getting their few daily specials right which are the standard veggie fare. good value.
I went here with my wife and parents-in-law and we were really pleasantly surprised! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good value.
We had a nut roast and a crumble for pudding and it was all delicious.
I found this place when searching for vegan-friendly cafes near Audenshaw, as my mum and I were looking to take an aged aunt out for lunch. There weren't any reviews so we decided to just go and see how it was.
The place was packed when we arrived, always a good sign! It doesn't win any prizes for decor but there was a nice friendly atmosphere and chit-chat between tables (being rather cramped). The menu doesn't list vegan options, so I asked at the counter and was given a comprehensive run-down of 4/5 things that they could do for me - soup, falafel sandwiches, salads, and a couple of the mains. I chose the spicy chickpeas and spinach topped with falafel and pitta bread, which was good. My mum and aunt both had the spinach and cheese filo pie off the specials board and said it was very tasty. Decent sized portions, and only £4.25 for a main! The sarnies and soups are around £2.50 each, very reasonable for lunch.
Of course we had to sample the puddings too - there was a chocolate and fruit cake which was vegan, and apple and plum crumble with vegan custard. I went for the chocolate cake but my mum ordered wrong so I ended up with crumble. I wasn't sorry though! It was really delicious. Crunchy granola-esque topping and not-too-sweet soft fruity interior, with a little jug of warm vegan custard alongside.
Thoroughly recommended - and considering that the train from Manchester takes 10 minutes and only costs £2.30, it's possibly cheaper to eat here than in town...

ParaNorman (Two-Disc Combo Pack)
Kodi Smit-McPhee, Tucker Albrizzi, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Jeff Garlin, Leslie Mann, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Elaine Stritch
US DVD: 27 Nov 2012
This year saw the release of no fewer than three Halloween-ready animated features from three different animation houses, and Laika's stop-motion cartoon ParaNorman was arguably the lowest profile, lacking a boldface voice actor like Hotel Transylvania's Adam Sandler or a brand-name director like Frankenweenie's Tim Burton. But ParaNorman is the best of this lot, and one of the very best animated features of the year—a worthy successor to Laika's Coraline (2009). A Blu-ray release offers the opportunity for this movie to reach a wider audience.
Set in the New England composite town of Blithe Hollow, ParaNorman follows a few days in the life of Norman Babcock (voice of Kodi Smit-McPhee), a kid with the striking ability to see ghosts of the deceased and alienating inability to convince anyone that he's telling the truth about his powers. When the town is threatened by a major supernatural threat, it's up to Norman and a ragtag group… well, you know how these things work, especially if you've seen '80s kid-adventure pictures from Amblin Entertainment, or the rash of nostalgia movies that have sought to recreate that feel in recent years.
In the commentary track, directors Sam Fell and Chris Butler do mention that they intended the introduction to Norman's family—his frustrated father (Jeff Garlin), sweeter mother (Leslie Mann), and bratty older sister (Anna Kendrick)—to have a Spielbergian flair, and it does have that messy, funny, slightly angsty dynamic (also imitated to great effect in Super 8). But the homage doesn't feel explicit or overdeliberate; the movie's style is not particularly Spielbergian, nor does it knock off Tim Burton, who would seem like an obvious reference point as the man who took Spielberg's oddball suburbs and crafted even more imaginative variations.
Instead, filmmakers Butler and Fell, along with the rest of the Laika team, build their own world, the subtle details of which enhance the whole film. The Blu-ray includes a comprehensive catalogue of featurettes explaining the painstaking nature of, say, the film's production design, based on the "warped doorframes and sagging eves" of New England. The filmmakers reveal that between the intentionally uneven sets and the stop-motion puppets based on "messy, unhinged" character designs, the film contains no straight horizontal or vertical lines—everything is slanted, bent, or curved.
This controlled messiness lends ParaNorman a handmade quality, even when the movie indulges in sophisticated technical tricks (the disc even includes a piece on the digitally erasable rigs that hold up puppets when they need to float, jump, or fly). Blithe Hollow is creakier and more autumnal than the lush, often candy-colored environments of digital animation; indeed, while Coraline had a wintry palette, ParaNorman is very much a fall-hued movie (naturally, then, it was released in August, even when any time between Labor Day and Thanksgiving might have made more sense).
ParaNorman is also informed by a sense of autobiography: On the disc, co-director and writer Butler admits that the character is more or less a version of himself as a kid, down to Norman's closeness with his grandmother (who has already departed when the film begins, but speaks to him as a ghost). A sense of humanity informs the other characters, too: Norman's eager, roly-poly sorta-friend Neil (Tucker Albrizzi), Neil's dim older brother Mitch (Casey Affleck), and even the bully Alvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) feel like real people (albeit with cartoonish proportions), not yapping shtick generators. That Spielberg-indebted opening means the movie has what the directors admit is a slower start than usual for an animated film; it also gives the movie plenty of breathing room to strike a tone that doesn't aim for realistic, Fell and Butler say, but naturalistic.
This may sound like flat-out ParaNorman promotion (it also makes a great holiday gift, I assume!); neither the film nor its home video incarnation are absolutely perfect (though it does benefit from the clarity of high definition). Though the movie has an unexpected and surprisingly nuanced anti-bullying message, the screenplay does explain that message a little too readily. And while most of the behind-the-scenes materials will interest most animation fans, a sense of biography becomes less fruitful in "Have You Ever Seen a Ghost?" which takes sort of a Celebrity Ghost Stories approach to the film's cast and crew, asking them to elaborate on supernaturally tinged encounters. But these are minor problems with a smart, delightful film in a worthy Blu-ray package.
ParaNorman may not have become a smash this year, but there's always next Halloween-to-Thanksgiving corridor, and hopefully many more after that.

Replacement of Breather Box,Oil Trap on Volvo S80
8 people shared problem details
2008 Volvo S8089,000Visitor
same problem. Maybe they could improve the design. Not a cheap fix
2002 Volvo S80189,000Visitor
Loud whine or screech once engine warms up. Also, found lower PCV hose had detached from engine block. Due to bad PCV diaphram the dealer was unable to diagnose the problem because the whining continued after dip stick was removed or oil cap was removed. Once hose was attached the whining stopped once oil filler cap was removed. Solution replace PCV breather box and 2 hoses.
2007 Volvo S80165,000Visitor
Loud high pitched whining sound after car had warmed up. Goes away at highway speeds. Comes back at lower speeds and idle. Loudest at idles.
2008 Volvo S8060,000Visitor
This is a concern for me because you other Volvo needed the same thing -oil trap breather box and intake tube. My car only has 60k miles! Very upset as I have been a loyal customer for so many years!
2009 Volvo S80115,500Visitor
Same issue with mine. At first thought it was belts, but the "whine" continues for a second after the ignition turned off. Dealer got me for $1,000 to replace belts/tensioners/seal leak that was spitting oil onto belts (I had been advised to fix the issue, but not a hurry). Anyway, didn't fix the problem. Took it back today and the svc mgr drove it, got out, pulled the dipstick and voila! I'm splitting the cost of the part (1/2 of $185) and the labor is no charge. Fair enough, after all the aggravation.
2008 Volvo S80101,000Visitor
Schreehing sound
2002 Volvo S80118,694Visitor
Had the PCV howling problem at 118,694, new canister, oil trap, 2 seals, 1 hose for $641 repair cost. Now 7+ years later at 265,000 same problem, estimate is $900+ with cleaning of throttle body. Due to many other problems I am not planning on doing this repair. I'm trying to emotionally detach, time to say good-bye to this car after 13 years.
2003 Volvo S80103,000txslade
at 103K the Car began a high pitched hum or squeal after the car warmed up. The squealing could be temporarily stopped by pressing the accelerator. The car was diagnosed as a cracked breather box, also known as, the flame trap, the oil trap. A small plastic box connected to the PCV System that has a plastic nipple that cracks and squeals form the oil pressure. The repair is difficult to get to and costs a lot in labor. My technician told me this is a common problem around 100K due to Volvo increasing the oil change intervals to 7500mils. Volvo even recalled and issued a service bulletin for many S80's. Mine was not covered.

The other story in Iraq: Kurdistan independence
June 12, 2014
by Brian4Liberty
Much attention has been focused upon the rapid retreat of Iraqi government forces from several northern cities in Iraq. Those cities include Mosul, oil-rich Baaiji and Saddam Husseins hometown of Tikrit.
As these cites have traditionally been mostly Sunni Muslim, there is little, if any local resistance to the Sunni Muslim group that has taken control of this territory.
We have all witnessed hours of media discussion revolving around the Boston terrorists and the subsequent manhunt, but there is one aspect of the manhunt that has received little attention. It is the use of the shelter in place protocol. First of all, let's review the intent and definition of shelter in place warnings.
Per the Red Cross:
One of the instructions you may be given in an emergency where hazardous materials may have been released into the atmosphere
The verdict is in. The Supreme Court has upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which narrowly passed Congress in a purely partisan effort. The swing vote on the Court, and thus the decision, lay with Chief Justice John Roberts.
In the decision, Chief Justice Roberts ruled the law to be Constitutional if the individual mandate portion of the law was interpreted and characterized as a tax, rather than as a penalty. This opinion in and of itself is questionable, as this
The question often arises, "is there a media conspiracy against Ron Paul"? Conspiracy is a loaded term, often used as an ad hominem attack to discredit people, so perhaps it is better to take a common sense approach, and focus more on human nature, and less on terminology.
Political entertainers such as Jon Stewart on The Daily Show have made compelling cases that the treatment of Ron Paul is less than fair and balanced. Jon Stewart's commentary on the Iowa Straw Poll results,

Henry in Heaven
We went to to see Nikol, Ron and the lambs and chickens in Harveyville yesterday. Henry was in HEAVEN. Ron let him play guitar, Nikol blew up balloons, showed him how to feed the lambs and let him "help" collect chicken eggs. (Despite a certain enthusiasm, collecting chicken eggs is not likely to be HL's calling, FYI. He may, however, henceforth be known as "chickenpoop" in some circles.) We played with Tinkertoys and jumped on pit mats. Nikol gave HL airplane rides until he was giggling and drooling on her, which she shirked off like a pro. At one point he started kissing Ron and kept at it until it was a little weird and I think -- I'm not sure, but I think -- Ron blushed.
When we left, I forgot our eggs and couldn't bear the disappointment so we had to turn back. Nikol ran them out to the car and it must have sunk in at that point that we were *actually leaving*. When Nikol turned to walk back to the school, HL started shouting "Bye! Bye!" and crying. Happily, the crying only lasted as long as it took us to drive by a herd of cows and after about an hour, he fell asleep.
