A last minute contract extension will avoid a strike for workers at the Belvidere plant.
The United Auto Workers Union represents more than 400,000 autoworkers across the country. Right now those employees are reporting to work under a temporary day-to-day contract. The union's present contract is set to expire just before midnight on Sunday.
UAW is seeking a three to four year contract where job security, pension and health care benefits are at the forefront of negotiations. Contract talks come amid an expected record year of cars sales for the nations three largest automakers.
The Belvidere plant has 2,200 workers that could be affected if there is a strike.

Help for those who Yelp
Anyone who has used Yelp for restaurant advice and information has no doubt encountered frustration with reviews that are misleading, uninformed and vindictive. That's the downside of the Yelp experience. On the plus side is its usefulness as a foodie tool. A tool that can only get better with the publication of the new e-book "Yelp Help: How to Write Great Online Restaurant Reviews."
Written by award-winning restaurant critic and food writer Hanna Raskin, "Yelp Help" is billed as the first how-to book for online restaurant reviewers.
"I'm certain the vast majority of online reviewers are well-meaning. But as someone who relies on sites such as Yelp for restaurant leads, I'm sympathetic to complaints about the bad writing, questionable food knowledge, and misplaced petulance that have become the hallmarks of amateur food reviewing," she writes in "Yelp Help."
Raskin covers a variety of topics in writing online reviews, which will also work for sites such as TripAdvisor and Urban Spoon. The goal is clearer and fairer observations by "citizen critics." She's well qualified to give such advice. Raskin, who recently joined the Post & Courier in Charleston, S.C., is the former food critic for Seattle Weekly and the Dallas Observer. A founding member of Foodways Texas, she also has been published in Garden & Gun, Southern Living and Cooking Light.
"Yelp Help," $2.99 (e-book) and $5.99 (paperback) is available on Amazon and iBooks.

The line includes Fruit and Milk Bars (110 to 140 calories each) and Fruit and Juice bars (60 to 70 calories each). The frozen fruit treats are now available at Target and Kroger stores for about $4.29.
Popcorn for wine aficionados
For many sauvignon blanc lovers, Kim Crawford is a trusted go-to wine. Now it can be a go-to popcorn, too. The New Zealand winery has announced a partnership with Populence, a gourmet New York popcorn bar, to introduce a wine-infused popcorn. Sauvignon Blanc Kettle is candied popcorn that pairs well with, duh, Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. The white-wine flavored popcorn is made with organic GMO-free popcorn kernels. For now, it's available only online or in the Populence store. Sauvignon Blanc Kettle is available in a 1-gallon tin ($35), 2-gallon tin ($48) and a 3-cup sampler bag ($8) at populencenyc.com.

The result is the new single cups in five flavors: Major Dickason's Blend, Café Domingo, French Roast, House Blend and Decaf House Blend. The 10-count boxes ($10.99) of single cups are available locally at Kroger, Randall's and Target stores.

Police host bike safety day for kids
Keeping children safe as they ride their bicycles is the goal of an upcoming safety event hosted by an area police department.
The Cridersville Police Department is starting a new tradition and hosting a bike safety day to keep kids safe and they ride their bike to school.
Cridersville Police Chief John Drake and his officers will be hosting the first annual Bike Rodeo from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 29 at the Cridersville Elementary School.
"We want to teach kids how to ride bikes safely," Drake said, regarding the purpose of the event.
A few topics that will be taught to the children are using proper arm signals, how to cross the road with a bike and guidelines for riding a bike at night.
Activity books will be handed out, which will include important bike safety tips.
This program is part of the Safe Routes to School Program and it is the first year that the police department is hosting this event.
With new sidewalks being installed on Reichelderfer and Carlisle roads, near the Cridersville Elementary School, through the Safe Routes to School grant, Drake said more children will be riding their bikes to school, especially when these sidewalks are completed, so it is important to make sure they are safe while doing so.
"We want to get the kids to ride their bikes and ride with helmets," Drake said.
Approximately 100 helmets will be given out to children at the event, and they plan to raffle off two bikes — one girl's and one boy's bike, to two lucky winners.
This event will be funded through the Ohio Safe Routes to School Program.

Shale Play
WEIRTON, W.Va. - A tanker barge loaded with a million gallons of natural gas liquids from a tank farm in the Half Moon Industrial Park is on its way to Houston - a "significant milestone" in the Weirton port's development, according to local officials.
Article Photos
The natural gas liquids, otherwise known as "wet gas," came from locally drilled wells in the Marcellus and Utica shale, and had been stored at a tank farm in Half Moon.
On Nov. 25, the gases were loaded onto the tanker barge and towed down the Ohio River, reaching the Mississippi River on Dec. 2. Weirton Area Port Authority Chief Operating Officer Nicole Balakos said its final destination "is further south (in) Houston."
"It shows West Virginia can be very formidable in the movement of energy along the Ohio River," West Virginia Public Port Authority Executive Director James D. "Doug" York said Thursday. "Certainly Weirton, with its proximity to Pittsburgh and Columbus, coupled with the (shale) gas exploration and harvesting (in the region) sits in an area that's going to be very important for West Virginia's energy future. The port will be able to leverage use of multi-modal forms of transportation - river, rail and surface. It's an easy point to ship goods to Columbus and a prime location, an attractive location, for businesses to set up."
Weirton is one of six designated inland port districts in West Virginia, a concept recognized by leading logistical and supply chains experts as an efficient way to move goods and commodities inter-modally throughout the U.S. West Virginia is perched midway between the mid-Atlantic seaports and the nation's largest inland port, Chicago, making development of those six inland ports in the Mountain State a high priority.
York said Weirton's port area is 40 miles long, encompassing all of Brooke and Hancock counties and the city of Weirton, he said. He pointed out the port itself is located "next to one of (its) economic drivers," the tank farm.
"That tank farm, that's pretty interesting in the fact that a private company worked to stockpile the fuel," he added.
There are currently three unloading stations supporting the terminal. A new, four-bay station, being built with local labor, is nearing completion and when done will be capable of unloading in excess of 5,000 barrels of wet gas per hour, WAPA officials said.
Down the road, they're planning a second four-bay station to increase capacity. Eventually, WAPA officials expect the port to be a fully operational multi-modal facility, moving liquids between truck, trail and barge, and offering enhanced capabilities in the area of communications, electronics and power.
York described Weirton as "a gem" and said a study done earlier in the year compared West Virginia's potential for inland port activities to states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky, identified Weirton, along with Brooke and Hancock counties, as strategically significant to those efforts.
"West Virginia is poised better than most to have the largest inland waterway port in the U.S., the Ohio River," he said, adding the study suggests Weirton "could potentially be an economic engine for West Virginia, due to its proximity to the three rivers - the Ohio, Monongahela and Allegheny rivers."
"There are major ports in the area - there's Pittsburgh, and Columbus to the west," he said. "They have the ability to do barging along the Ohio River, there are other rail facilities operated by Class I railroads out of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and you have an interstate highway system. That's the beauty of Weirton - it's poised (to capitalize on those assets)."
York said they want the local port districts to be self-sustaining, "to be able to go out and recruit businesses for port-type operations ... so they're not depending on money from the state. We want them to be economic engines."

Over the last twenty years, Bucktown has evolved from a cool artist colony to a trendy neo-Lincoln Park. While art galleries have given way to wine bars, the forever hip nature of Bucktown has remained. Perhaps no better example of this can be found than in the classic neighborhood French bistro Le Bouchon. First opened in 1993, Le Bouchon (1958 N. Damen) excels at making classic French cuisine approachable to the urban masses. Under the direction of owner Chef Jean-Claude Poilevey, Le Bouchon has cultivated both a loyal customer base and a stellar reputation. So much, in fact, it would make a logical place to treat both your cousin from the country as well as your most serious foodie friend. This was especially true the previous week when all of their entrées were priced at $19.93 (in honor of the restaurant's birth year).
It was in celebration of this anniversary that Le Bouchon extended an invitation to several media outlets to review their restaurant. A serious eater and a hopeful critic, I jumped at the opportunity. While by no means a Francophile, I have always been intrigued by the idea of French cooking. Maybe it is because it is so much the opposite of my own minimalist instincts. Where I see green beans, the French see a lot of garlic and butter to sauté it in. Me, I usually steam them. It takes just a few minutes. But to cook like a French man you need years of training.
Walking into Le Bouchon is an experience upon itself. More intimate than many coffee shops, the diner does feel like something just off a Parisian side street (a fact picked up on by almost every other reviewer). Our waiter, Gerard, gave enough space to allow my wife, Corey, and I room to gossip about life, but was always available to answer our questions. And we did have more than a few questions. Mostly I asked them to Corey and she later asked them to Gerard while I tried my best to look amused at her lack of knowledge. This strategy mostly worked except for when Gerard, unsure of an answer, demured to my very limited expertise.
A little nervous at the start, I did what many a man has done in uncertain circumstances. I ordered cocktails. My Le Zephyr was a refreshing blend of gin, grapefruit juice, and a few other liquors that mixed just right is sure to give anyone a boost of confidence. Corey went with the more novel Le Monstre (a combination of many things including Old Overholt Rye and ginger beer). I think this would have to be the go to drink for a college aged Harry Potter. Out of journalistic pride I tasted both and would recommend either.
I allowed Gerard to pair the starter plates (as well as everything else) and he did an exceptional job of doing so. The Tarte a l' Oignon (a delectable tart consisting primarily of caramelized onions, gruyere cheese, and bacon) and several featured cheeses was especially pleasing when quenched with an Emile Beyer Pinot Blanc (from the Alsace region of France). Upon the chef's insistence, we also tasted his Cuisses de Grenouille (roasted frog legs, garlic, and lemon). After a few bites I understood why it was brought to my table. If I was able to create such a wonderful dish, I would also want to show it off. My wife, a mostly vegetarian, also sampled the Composee salad (beets, carrots, lentils, and celery root) and was excited to note that the essential taste and character of the salad transformed with each twirled fork full.
For the main entrée, we chose the Saumon Poche (salmon simmered in a wonderful wine sauce and served upon sautéed green beans), Gnocchis Françaises (a French style gnocchi), and Lapin Sauté Chasseur (sautéed rabbit in a white wine sauce served with carrots, mushrooms, and celery). Again, Gerard chose well in pairing the salmon and pasta dishes with a drier Macon-Villages White Burgundy. The salmon was especially savory and its moist flesh flaked onto my fork that way it should. While the gnocchi was also good, I think I prefer the softer, Italian style over its toasty French cousin. The rabbit required a change in wine and Gerald was quick to pour me a more robust Mas de Guiot Rhone which complemented well the succulent flavor of the meat. This was my first time tasting rabbit but I do not think it will be my last.
I normally skip dessert, but my sense of duty compelled me to sample some homemade maple flavored ice cream, crème brulee, and an opera cake. I do these things for you, the reader. Paired with two dessert wines it was a shame we could not quite finish them off. Writing this now I can close my eyes and almost taste the combinations of espresso, chocolate, and caramel. If it was not past closing hours I would be seriously tempted to drive back for just one more taste (you know, to make sure I got it right the first time around).
Like all good things, the meal did come to an end. Bouncy from coffee, good food and just the right amount of liquor I re-entered Chicago wishing for a quick return back to Wicker Park's French Quarter.
Bottom line: Le Bouchon (1958 N. Damen) is highly recommended. Reasonably priced considering the exceptional quality of the service and food. Most entrées hover around the $25 mark (starter plates are about half that and all sides are under $10). Given the intimate nature of the restaurant, reservations are highly recommended. For more information related to Le Bouchon you can click here lebouchonofchicago.com/ or call the restaurant directly at (773) 862-6600. Le Bouchon has a sister restaurant in the loop called La Sardine (111 N. Carpenter); related information can be found here lasardine.com/ .

Paris, I Love You: 10 Books Starring Cities
Today marks the release of Rosecrans Baldwin's sophomore effort Paris, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down, a memoir about moving to his favorite city in the world. As might be expected, the City of Light itself plays as much of a role as any other character Baldwin encounters — we'd almost consider it to be a book with two main characters: Baldwin and Paris. We're always interested in the ways real cities blend into fiction and take on lives of their own, so we came up with a list of a few other books starring metropolises around the world. Click through to check out ten books in which the cities characters inhabit become characters in themselves, and let us know if we missed any of your favorites in the comments.
Paris, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down, Rosecrans Baldwin
In this new memoir, half love letter and half Dear John letter to the City of Light, Paris routinely beats Baldwin down, makes a fool out of him, raises him up, and fills him with wonder, all over the same café crème. The book is as much about the city as it is about Baldwin — perhaps not unusual for a "year abroad"-style memoir, but you've never seen Paris quite like this. She is relatively lewd, but ultimately, pretty forgiving. C'est la vie.

1. Rex keeps his teams playing and playing hard. No Rex team has tossed it in despite massive dissapointment the last two seasons. They've sucked at times, but tehy've always played hard even late in down years.
2. Rex coaches a good Defense, period. Taken a step back this year, no question, but we're still a Top 10 Defense, fan doubts and selective stats nonwithstanding.
3. Rex manages the clock just fine. Of course, I'm baised, Herm and mangini were both horrific cloack managers, so it doesn;t take much to impress.
4. He fired Shotty.
5. He stays with his ideals, like it or not. Defense and the ground game. I like and support that.
6. He puleld Sanchez. I never thought he would tbqh.
7. He has been picking and developing Defensive talent rather well in his time here, with Tanny.
8. He makes himself the laughing stock with his big mouth, and I'm convinced he does so to take the spotlight off his players and onto himself
9. He challenges well, and appropriately, in general.
10. He has yet to lead a losing season in four years in the NFL. Thats not nearly as easy as it sounds.
11. I think he's quite good at using the talent he has and getting the most out of most of them.
12. I think most of whats good about our Defenseive Schemes is Rex's input and philosophy, predominantly.
13. He's willing to cut even his most beloved "Rex's Guy", i.e. Terminator, when they fail.
14. He's passionate and gives a **** over every play and every loss.
As for improvement:
There hasn't been as much as I'd like. He hasn't grown much as a Coach, still does alot of the things he used to, and still clings to "Rex's Guys" too long, Sanchez included. His football ideals of Defense and running is clearly ourdated and unpopular, so I can see where some would be critical of not being another Beffalo or Miami and trying to emulate the Pats, Colts and Denver. Rex is stubborn to a fault at times, and if anything has too much faith in his team and his talent to rise to the occasion. He talks too much IMO, still, despite it blwoing up on him a few times. He's not as involved in the O, or seems to care about the O, as much as I'd want him too. He doesn;t hold his O-Co's and QB to enough of a standard or else.
His worst fault, he's stuck with a clearly ineffective Mark Sanchez, and he either supporter or allowed Tim Tobow on the team.
Will I cry if Rex is fired? No.
But firing Rex before we fire Sanchez is just lol. Rex, with a decent QB, is a perenial playoff contender. Rex with Sanchez is 2010 and 2011 over and over again.
May as well wait, play out Sanchez's string in 2013, and if they fail, dump the whole lot for 2014 and start the rebuilding effort then, fresh, GM, Coach and QB.

... a federal appeals court in April declared the death sentence unconstitutional, ruling that the jury instructions at Abu-Jamal's original 1982 murder trial were unclear.And prosecutors have decided not to redo the sentencing phase with a new jury and appropriately clear instructions.

Witnesses testified that Abu-Jamal shot Faulkner in the back and head after the officer pulled his brother over during a late-night traffic stop. He was wounded in the encounter and later confessed to the killing, according to other testimony.

MEQUON, Wis. – It didn't take long for Concordia University Wisconsin to put the game out of reach on Saturday, as it led 7-0 after the opening quarter en route to a convincing 23-2 non-conference victory over the University of Dubuque at Fitting Field.
The sub-freezing temperatures and steady snow didn't bother the Falcons, as they outshot the Spartans 49-13 and won 20-of-25 faceoff attempts. They led 13-1 at halftime, which allowed every player that dressed action in the win.
Sophomore Marino Best (Nanaimo, British Columbia) and freshman Colin Raley (Inverness, Ill.) led all scorers with four goals each. Senior Danny Dahms (Calgary, Alberta) added three goals and four other players recorded two scores. Raley's four goals were a career-best.
Best also assisted on four goals, which gave him a career-high eight points – one point shy from tying the single game record. Junior Derek Brueske (Hopkins, Minn.) and freshman Shawn Teixeira (Calgary, Alberta) each assisted on three markers. Teixeira's three helpers were a career-high.
Junior Emmet O'Malley (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) earned the win between the pipe, but it was a team effort as all four goalies saw at least seven minutes of playing time.
CUW (1-1) has now scored over 20 goals five times in program history and the 21-point victory is the fourth best margin in program history. The Falcons ended the contest with 41 points and a program record 18 assists.
Sophomore Zachary Foster (Calgary, Alberta) found the back of the net for the first time in his career midway through the second period. Junior David Mueller (Prior Lake, Minn.) tallied a career-best two scores, to go along with an assist.
Tyson Svoboda and Javez Vargas each scored for the Spartans (0-4), who are a first-year program.
CUW returns to the field on Saturday, March 8 against Albion College at 1 p.m. at Fitting Field. The Britons have defeated Aurora University and Augustana College in consecutive games, as both were selected to finish first and second in the Midwest Lacrosse Conference Preseason Coaches Poll.

Utilities' handling of the hundreds of thousands of outages caused by the winter storm that battered Southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod last weekend was largely improved compared with other recent storms that caused widespread power losses and provoked denunciation from government officials and irate customers, according to many state and local officials.
Together, NStar and
National Grid mustered more than 3,000 crews to replace fallen utility poles, rehang wire cables, and repair blown transformers that left more than 600,000 customers without power because of the storm, which dumped more than 2 feet of snow in some parts of the state.
As their crews worked, the utilities broadcast their progress, often via photos and messages posted on social media sites or sent by text to a phone. By the end of Tuesday, National Grid had returned power to all but about 35 of the 251,000 customers that lost it. NStar had the lights back by Wednesday for nearly all of its 350,000 customers left in the dark by the storm.
The blackout may have seemed interminable in those households, but utilities apparently restored electricity as fast or faster than they promised in emergency response plans filed with the state, plans based largely on standards set by the US Department of Homeland Security. While there was criticism — mostly from those who wanted quicker and more frequent updates on repairs — the preliminary consensus is that the utilities seemed to have learned from shortcomings in past storms.
The state recently fined NStar and National Grid a combined $22.8 million for what officials called an inadequate performance in 2011 following Tropical Storm Irene and a Halloween snowstorm commonly referred to as "Snowtober." Nearly 763,000 lost power during the latter storm, with some outages lasting more than a week; during Irene, more than 1 million lost power, with outages lasting about a week.
Attorney General Martha Coakley, who recommended the stiff fines for the utilities, said Friday that her office has heard anecdotal evidence that the utilities had more "boots on the ground" and that there was improved communication with customers and communities. But she said she would reserve judgment for a formal review by her office and state regulators after the utilities file storm response reports in about a month.
"We think they had a long way to go [from 2011] to get where they should be," Coakley said. "Whether this response was good enough or adequate, we'll wait until that review to give them a final grade."
Just how well the state's investor-owned utilities respond to major storms has come under scrutiny since 2008, when a December ice storm left all of Unitil's 28,500 customers in the Fitchburg and Lunenburg area without power — some for up to two weeks. Legislation that followed established fines for poor storm response, and required power companies to file emergency response plans with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities every year.
A review by the Globe of 1,500 pages of documents — including the utilities' emergency plans, final reports on past storms, and progress reports filed throughout this storm — show that National Grid and NStar met or exceeded their own benchmarks for handling widespread outages.
Both utilities classified the storm as a "catastrophic event," their highest designation, meaning that each utility expected more than 100,000 customers without power, with many outages likely to last three days or more. To handle such damage, National Grid estimated it needs to bring in at least 1,000 crews, while NStar's emergency plan shows it generally needs more than 350 crews.
For last week's storm, NStar had roughly 1,600 crews working, while National Grid had nearly 1,800 crews, according to the utilities.
"Communications between the utilities, us, and customers, and cities and towns is orders of magnitude better than it was five years ago," said Ann Berwick, chairwoman of the state Department of Public Utilities, which will review the utilities' response in the coming months.
Of course, every storm is different. Irene, for example, caused widespread destruction from the Carolinas into New England, so many of the out-of-state utilities that NStar and National Grid normally depend on for extra help needed to keep crews at home. That left the Massachusetts utilities largely on their own to deal with damage spread across their entire service territories.
The October snowstorm created a similar situation, as it dropped heavy, wet snow on much of the East Coast at a time when leaves were still on trees. The weight sent limbs crashing on power lines, creating widespread outages across several states.
Last week's destruction was concentrated on the South Shore and Cape Cod, where the storm left mountains of snow on streets blocking access to utility equipment.
Marcy Reed, National Grid's president in Massachusetts, said the utility was able to respond more quickly to outages because it revised the way it does damage assessment. Instead of trying to identify all problems before starting to restore power, as it largely did in the past, the company now does a "quick run-by" to locate the biggest problems, and starts repairing them while a more comprehensive assessment is completed. The change allowed National Grid to release its first estimates of when power would be restored to communities by Saturday evening, just hours after the storm ended.
NStar said it conducted its damage assessment in much the same way, but the company was more conservative in releasing estimates of when power would be restored.
"At one point it was snowing 4 inches an hour," said Craig Hallstrom, NStar Electric president. "Before I can start to put out an estimate restoration time I have to know what's broken [and] I can't go look until it stops snowing."
NStar didn't provide its first overall estimate until Sunday — a day after National Grid. This delay sparked criticism of NStar by some government officials and customers. Falmouth resident Eric Wheeler said via e-mail that he was disappointed with NStar's performance, despite communicating with company representatives by phone, Twitter, and Facebook.
"Every communication was irritating because I could never learn what the specific nature of my outage was, what had been done, what needed to be done, and when it was expected to be done," said Wheeler, whose lost power at 11 p.m. Friday. His family used the fireplace to stay warm as the temperature inside dropped as low as 38 degrees.
Power returned to Wheeler's household on Wednesday at about 2 p.m.
"I have nothing but praise for the call center employees and field workers," Wheeler said, "but the company needs to figure out a better way to get information to their customers."
In some of the hardest hit cities and towns, however, officials praised the utilities for their increased presence in their communities, including assigning liaisons to help keep emergency officials up-to-date.
"Prehurricane Sandy [in October], or the storms prior to that, we had the perception of no communication with NStar," said Mashpee Fire Chief George Baker. During last week's storm, he said, "We had someone all the time."
At its height, the storm knocked out power for 98 percent of the town.Erin Ailworth can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @ailworth.

The Postal Service is adding new self-service kiosks as part of an ongoing effort to grow business and increase revenues, the agency has announced.
The kiosks will have improved screens and include a self-scanning feature, designed to ease the process for customers waiting in line. USPS will employ lobby assistants trained to help customers opting for the self-service option.
The assistants will also help patrons in line to ensure they are prepared for their transactions.
The kiosks will be available first in post offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City and Washington.
The Postal Service has lost billions of dollars for many consecutive quarters and recently reached its borrowing limit. USPS is seeking to shrink the agency -- both in its physical infrastructure as well as its workforce -- as it seeks to reach financial solvency.The agency has said solvency is within reach, but Congress has stood in the way of sweeping reforms. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe told Federal News Radio he is holding out hope legislators will take action in the lame duck session, after the election.

Porsche at the 2013 North American International Auto Show
World premiere of new 550 hp Cayenne Turbo S
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 14, 2013 12:01 AM
ATLANTA, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Porsche is celebrating a new flagship for the Cayenne SUV family at the North American International Auto Show with the world premiere of the 550 hp Cayenne Turbo S.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130114/CL41687 )
The 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged Cayenne Turbo S benefits from an additional 50 hp compared to the Cayenne Turbo. The Cayenne Turbo S accelerates zero to 60 in 4.3 seconds on its way to a top track speed of 175 mph. Equipped for maximum dynamic performance, the car is equipped with Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) and the Sport Chrono package as standard.
The exterior of the Cayenne Turbo S is distinguished by front air intakes and rear-view mirror trim painted in high-gloss black. Standard 21-inch 911 Turbo II wheels with colored Porsche badges and high-gloss black accents are also exclusive to the Cayenne Turbo S, along with dual twin-tube sport tailpipes. The model is scheduled to arrive in dealerships in spring 2013 at a starting price of $146,000, not including a $975 destination charge.
Also making an appearance at the North American International Auto Show is third-generation Porsche Cayman, which was unveiled at the Los Angeles International Auto Show in November.
Re-engineered from the ground up, the new Cayman is lower, lighter, faster and more efficient and powerful than ever before. A longer wheelbase, wider track and larger wheels enhance the driving performance of the mid-engine sports car.
The 2014 Cayman is powered by a 2.7-liter engine with 275 hp, while the Cayman S produces 325 hp with a 3.4-liter engine. Both models will arrive in dealerships in spring 2013 at a base price of $52,600 for the Cayman and $63,800 for the Cayman S.
The U.S. continues to be Porsche's largest market, with 35,043 cars sold here in 2012, representing an increase of 21 percent compared to 2011. The Cayenne and 911 models contributed to the strong sales performance, increasing by 20 percent and 42 percent, respectively.
Porsche AG sold more sports cars globally in 2012 than ever before: 141,075 customer deliveries equal an increase of 18.7% compared to last year's record of 118,868 vehicles sold.

Why no Ignite hobby box breaks posted?
Just as the title says. Has no one gotten their hands on a hobby box of Ignite? I just wanna see some breaks before I get a chance to buy one. I like the designs I see from the PP site and from the retail breaks but would love to see an actual hobby break.
Always looking for: Ozzie Smith/Stan Musial/Lou Brock/STL Cardinals, NFL-CAR/GB/NE and NASCAR-Jimmie Johnson/Mark Martin

I am poor too, just easier spending $20 or so at a time than over $90 for a hobby box.

RE: Why no Ignite hobby box breaks posted?
I did a 10 box case. What is left from it is in my bucket as traders, not listed in org yet. Nice release overall but i think they are starting to flood the market with the sig series. I liked it when they were only numbered to door numbers, held their value and made for an awsome hit instead of knowing there is one per box
Collecting all Travis Pastrana. Also Bobby Labonte autos and race used

RE: Why no Ignite hobby box breaks posted?
I am also too poor, and nobody sells them around here.
Gotta be honest though, I don't really like the look of most of the Ignite cards - the Steel Horses insert set is cool, but the RU cards just aren't doing it for me - they look somewhat cheap or something.
That being said - of course I still need to get the Carl Edwards ones, but I won't be buying anymore of this product (only bought a few retail packs.)

RE: Why no Ignite hobby box breaks posted?
I'm on the 'POOR' bus too. I was hoping to use some tax money for a box of these, but it just isn't going to work out for me this year. I do agree that PP adding 'hits' to nearly every pack is ruining this hobby. Haven't they seen what happened with the near monopolies in MLB and NFL? PP needs to stop trying to re-invent what was already a great company. They have now ditched ALL of my favorite product lines to replace them with stuff I can't afford OR do not wish to buy!
I want Eclipse and VIP back! Fanfare was a great addition to the PP line, but it replaced a set instead of being an addition.
I have never liked any of the Wheels sets but they still exist, while the sets I like have been dumped. I am near to treating NASCAR releases like I do MLB releases... I just don't care anymore. I'd rather spend my money on other hobbies than waste money buying the same thing over and over but with a different name.
PP is ruining their name and the hobby by going to only high dollar releases.

I agree completely. And whats funny is the products cost is going up and the hits bv's are going down...?
Post: #8
RE: Why no Ignite hobby box breaks posted?
Well, what can you expect when they keep making the 'hits' be $8-$10 single-color RU'd cards of people no one really collects?!!
IMO, it is no longer a 'hit' when there are more one-color RU cards (inc. base parallels, inserts, and actual MEM sets) than there are base cards in the set.
Base sets are getting smaller, parallel sets are massively increasing and Inserts (RU, AU and otherwise) continue to get larger or more numerous! To top that off, the RU'd pieces seem to get smaller with each release.
I've already dumped collecting MLB and NFL cards for nearly the same reasons. This is really starting to tick me off!!!
Between Topps, UD, Panini... and now PP, I am damn near done with collecting cards until the hobby crashes and restructures to give the collectors what they really want. The companies keep 'giving the collectors what they want', but not realizing that they are destroying their fanbase AND pricing out their biggest fans. They need to find a compromise b/t giving people 'what they want' and flooding the market so much that the collectors don't want them anymore!!!
I am just tired of this continuously happening in the sports card industry!

I agree as well still want the Hamlin Cards but really not worth me buying the box seeing as I really collect Drag Racing and INDY cards but without legends I wont get it
Post: #10
RE: Why no Ignite hobby box breaks posted?
THIS IS a statement from jesse ledbetter of press pass. it has been released and I am posting it here for those that have not seen it before
We received a similar comment last week in our inbox so I'll copy/paste our response below. Understandably, when we do away with a brand there are going to be some people that are not happy. If we discontinue a release it's safe to assume that it was because the brand was not performing to expectations (in other words, customers simply weren't buying it).
In regards to flooding the market, a big part of our strategy recently has been to decrease the number of releases we're doing. As a point of reference, in 2009 we put out 11 NASCAR releases. We have 7 releases planned for 2012.
Retiring brands like Element, Eclipse, and Stealth was not an easy decision. Some wanted to retire them a few years ago, but we felt we needed to inject some innovation into them and give them another shot. Last year was my favorite Stealth product we have put out (with the military theme/inscriptions), yet the brand still underperformed. Meanwhile, brands like Showcase, Legends, and FanFare were among our most popular.
We have tried very hard to avoid the slippery slope of cramming more hits into boxes, but in the end we need to deliver what customers want. Look at the feedback on this site from 2012 Press Pass Racing, and the majority of the feedback is the same - the product needs more hits. It puts us in a tough position - stay the course and risk sinking or adjust to meet consumer demands and risk saturating the market.
We are constantly reviewing customer feedback and sales trends, and our product line-up is never set in stone for the next year. We will meet to review how the brands performed this year and make adjustments. Your comments don't go unnoticed, and we appreciate your passion for the hobby!
(copy of an official statement last week)
Each year we review our product line and make changes based on customer feedback and the overall performance of each brand. We decided to cut back on the number of NASCAR releases going into 2012 in an attempt to prevent the market from being flooded with NASCAR products.
Additionally, a few of our long-standing brands such as Eclipse, Premium and Stealth had fell short of expectations in recent years so we decided to make some changes. For example, we replaced Eclipse ($144 SRP; 4 hits per box) with Total Memorabilia ($125 SRP; 5 hits per box) while Premium ($100 SRP; one auto plus one relic per box) was replaced with a very similar brand, Ignite ($100 SRP; one auto'd relic plus one relic per box). Stealth and Premium were very similar yet Stealth's popularity had waned over the past few years, so the decision was made to introduce a new brand, Redline ($160 SRP; four hits per box), to the line-up in place of Stealth.
Other popular brands like Legends, FanFare, and Press Pass Racing are still in the line-up for 2012. We will take your feedback, as well as feedback from our other customers, into consideration when we review our brands in preparation for the 2013 season. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts. If you have any additional questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to ask!

T1D Exchange Announces Appointment of Dana Ball as Chief Executive Officer
Diabetes philanthropy veteran will oversee growth of innovative diabetes organization
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 6, 2012 11:14 AM
BOSTON, Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The T1D Exchange, a not-for-profit organization accelerating the discovery of new approaches to type 1 diabetes research and treatment, announced today that Dana Ball has joined the organization as Chief Executive Officer. In his new role, Mr. Ball will oversee the integration and expansion of the T1D Exchange's multiple components, including the clinical registry, biobank and Glu, an online social network for people with type 1 diabetes. Mr. Ball previously served as Program Director of the Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Program at The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust and is one of the cofounders of the T1D Exchange. Prior to joining the Helmsley Charitable Trust in 2008, Mr. Ball was Executive Director of the Iacocca Foundation.
The T1D Exchange was designed to connect the disparate stakeholders in the type 1 diabetes community — individuals with type 1 diabetes, caregivers, clinicians, researchers and industry partners — by combining the critical components of a traditional clinical research with the expanding fields of health information technology and social networking. The T1D Exchange was formally established in 2010 through a grant from the Helmsley Charitable Trust's Type 1 Diabetes Program.
"Dana led the design and development of the Helmsley T1D Program and we believe he is the perfect individual to ensure the Exchange fulfill its goals," said David Panzirer, Trustee of the Helmsley Charitable Trust. "The T1D Exchange was one of many programs Dana initiated that has the potential to change the speed and efficiency of research and development for promising new therapies and devices."
"The T1D Exchange began as an abstract idea that Dana found ways to nurture by bringing the right people and resources together. It would not be where it is now without him. His leadership will help us fulfill the promise this type 1 diabetes resource offers," said Roy W. Beck, MD, PhD, Executive Director of the Jaeb Center for Health Research and Vice President of the T1D Exchange Board of Directors. "The T1D Exchange Clinic Registry, the first initiative of the T1D Exchange Clinic Network, has collected data on over 26 thousand individuals with type 1 diabetes. We are gaining vital knowledge about how type 1 diabetes is managed among individuals of all ages, knowledge we would not have if it were not for the vision of Dana Ball and the Helmsley T1D Program."
Importantly, Glu (www.myglu.org), a website for individuals with type 1 diabetes and their caregivers recently launched. Glu currently has over 3,500 members who log in on a frequent basis, some daily, answering the question of the day, starting or responding to discussions, or participating in research activities, surveys and developing studies. Glu is truly a community with a purpose; dedicated to supporting its members, facilitating research, and empowering people with type 1 diabetes to participate and influence the future of new therapies and solutions. Glu provides the platform to empower patients, acting as a conduit to the drug, device, and R&D community. According to Mr. Ball, "Managing type 1 diabetes is a 24 hour daily requirement to monitor blood sugars and manage insulin delivery in a fashion that mimics what a healthy pancreas does minute by minute. Glu is designed to support people touched by type 1 diabetes on a daily basis and empower members by participating in research and development projects to advance better technologies and treatments on the path to a cure." Over 90 percent of Glu members responding to the question "Would you donate blood to Type 1 diabetes research," responded yes, demonstrating the proactive nature of participants.
Individuals with type 1 diabetes are being enrolled into the T1D Exchange Clinic Registry at 69 centers throughout the United States. There are presently more than 26 thousand individuals enrolled. Participants span a wide range of ages, from infants to adults over 90 years of age, with representation across a broad spectrum of racial and ethnic groups. The registry also includes over 250 participants who have had type 1 diabetes for more than 50 years. Since June 2011, the T1D Exchange has presented 16 abstracts at 5 different national and international diabetes conferences, including the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions, the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD).

Tax Law Pathway
Tax law practice can encompass both tax planning and tax litigation. In the planning arena, tax lawyers help their clients plan their business and personal transactions in ways that minimize the tax impact of those transactions. Tax planning pervades all areas of corporate law, commercial transactions, estate planning, employee benefits, real estate, and bankruptcy.
Tax lawyers may be called upon to assist other lawyers as to the tax aspects of transactions in these areas or they may take the lead. The tax lawyer's clients can include individuals, corporations, partnerships, estates, trusts, and other entities and businesses of all sizes. Tax lawyers often work with other professionals such as accountants and investment advisers. In the litigation area, some tax lawyers represent clients in disputes with taxing authorities. Others are employed by the Department of Justice, Internal Revenue Service, or state departments of revenue, providing government representation in tax law disputes.
Tax law is a very complicated area, and the New England Law Tax Law Pathway provides interested students with a solid, basic foundation in the major concepts involved in the taxation of individuals and business entities.

On the Antarctic Peninsula, the Wilkins Ice Shelf (roughly 70 degrees south and 75 degrees west) historically extended toward Charcot Island in the northwest and Latady Island in the southwest. By July 2008, the ice shelf's connection to Charcot Island, which had helped to hold the shelf in place, was nearly gone.
The Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) on the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite observed the ice shelf between May 30 and July 17, 2008. These ASAR images show the eastern part of the ice shelf on July 17 (top), June 28 (middle), and May 30 (bottom). Not pictured, Charcot Island is in the northwest (upper left).
The image acquired on May 30, 2008, captured the ice shelf at the beginning of a disintegration event. In this image, large slices of the ice shelf appear in the lower left corner. These long, thin blocks have broken off the shelf and are moving away toward the southwest. To the northeast, in the middle of the image, is what glaciologists describe as mélange—a stuck-together mass of ice blocks, snow, and sea ice. This portion of the shelf actually disintegrated in 1998, but the ice remained frozen in place for a decade. Farther to the east, the ice is in larger blocks. To the north is a mixture of very thin sea ice, ice blocks from earlier rifting, and open water.
The image acquired on June 28, 2008, shows several changes. In the southwest, the large slices of ice visible on May 30 have moved away. The portion of the ice shelf connecting to Charcot Island has narrowed, assuming an almost hourglass shape. Immediately northeast of this skinny stretch of shelf, the darker parts of the ice mélange appear to be melting. Farther northeast, the large blocks of ice have begun to drift apart.
The image acquired on July 17, 2008, shows the continued breakup of the ice shelf. The ice mélange is even darker than it was in late June. Large, relatively intact plates of ice drift toward the northeast from the thin piece of shelf that still stretches toward the nearby island. The large blocks of ice in the northeast continue their northward drift, some separated by areas of open water.
These images focus on events in the eastern portion of the Wilkins Ice Shelf, The western portion of the shelf rapidly disintegrated between February 28 and March 6, 2008. That event had occurred during the Southern Hemisphere summer, when summertime warmth and sunshine can drive surface melt processes that lead to disintegration. In contrast, the events occurring from late May to early July 2008 occurred in the Southern Hemisphere winter. As of mid-July 2008, the exact mechanism of the winter breakup was uncertain, but warm ocean waters appear to have played a role. Previous cruises in the area had mapped warm ocean waters at depths of about 400 meters (1,300 feet) under the ice shelf. If this warmer water were somehow mixed with the upper waters, and brought into contact with the underside of the ice shelf, the warmer water may have caused basal melting of the ice.

Why Being Institutionalized Isn't So Bad
When I was committed after my suicide attempt, I remember thinking it was the worst place in the world for me. Sure, I was in a place where I was safe from myself, but I felt that anyone who suffers from depression shouldn't be locked up with those who suffer from other forms of mental illness. It didn't make sense to have a suicidal woman sharing a room with an 80-year-old who suffered from severe dementia, was constantly without her pants and thought she was 23 years old. Both then and know, I'm not sure how either one of us was supposed to benefit from the situation and heal, but I guess it was just about containing us in that moment.
The entire time I was in the psych ward, I was not only adamant about the fact that I didn't belong there, but that I was better than everyone else. I was, of course, delusional, not in my right brain at all and overcome by such intense sadness that it was easier to convince myself that I was better to at least give myself something over the others. And this is me trying to reason it the best I can, and probably failing at doing so.
It wasn't until my last day in the hospital that I realized how safe it was inside those walls. The world had been shut out from me and I was free from everything. I was no better than the patients with whom I shared that space. We were, at least in there, complete equals no matter what we had done the day before we arrived or what we do the day after we left.
When I have days now that hover closely to way I felt the morning I tried to end my life, I think back to the way I felt in the psych ward. I find myself longing for it. I wish I could go back there with a clearer head and truly appreciate it for what it had to offer me: escape from it all. There is no "have to" inside those walls and although they'll question your desire to get better if you don't change or shower for over a week, you still don't "have to." You are, compared to the busy world in which we live most of the time, free.
Here are six reasons why some days I'd like to be locked up again.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - The Georgia College & State University men's tennis team takes to the court this weekend, and Bobcat fans can use this article as an inside look to the spring 2010 version of one of the most decorated programs in school history.
2009 was arguably the best season in Georgia College men's tennis history, and 10th year head coach Steve Barsby has the hardware to show it. The Bobcats brought home their first Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship, and Barsby was selected the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division II Men's Coach of the Year as well as PBC Men's Coach of the Year.
The 2010 group will rely on experience, as five players return that saw time in the starting lineup for Georgia College a year ago.
"We're possibly deeper than we've ever been in my time here," said Barsby. "We may not have that marquee-type guy, but we're going to win a lot of matches based on our depth."
Three seniors who have seen plenty of victories in their three seasons return for their final year in Bobcat blue and green. Max Beliankou (Minsk, Belarus), Joao Casagrande (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and Giovane Nucci (Santa Catarina, Brazil) all been starting and winning key matches since first stepping on the Georgia College campus three years ago.
"Max forces his opponents to make mistakes," said Barsby. "His will to win is unmatched. He is fundamentally strong and has a motor that won't quit." Beliankou went 15-4 last year competing mainly at fourth singles, and may have to move up a slot or two. He had the team's biggest victory a year ago, edging Armstrong Atlantic State University's No. 21 Tim Johanssen in a three-set marathon. The victory gave the Bobcats a 5-4 win, and just enough space in front of the Pirates to pick up GCSU's first PBC title.
Casagrande is a big hitter with plenty of experience. He went 5-7 overall with a 3-2 mark in conference matches in 2009. Casagrande will continue to pick up wins at the bottom portion of the order.
Nucci was 6-4 in 2009, and the lefty gives opponents a different matchup. He competed in the fifth slot. "Nucci is obviously a talented tennis player," said Barsby. "He's battled injuries in his time here, but when he's in the lineup, he's a competitor."
Leo Bernardes (Sao Paulo, Brazil) got plenty of action as a rookie in 2009 at the fourth, fifth and sixth slots, and will continue to play in the bottom third this season. Bernardes was 7-6 a year ago, and had a solid fall including singles and doubles titles at the Windstream/GCSU Men's Fall Championships.
One of two players from the Peach State, Bobby Angelucci (Acworth, Ga.) is also coming off singles and doubles titles at the Windstream tournament in the fall. Angelucci went 4-1 last season, including a pair of conference wins.
Jerome Lebornge (Coordimanche, France) joined the team in the fall and will have sophomore eligibility status. He had an impressive spring winning Flight '2' singles at the Chick-Fil-A Championships, and will give the Bobcats chances for wins at the top of the lineup.
Three talented newcomers are featured on the 2010 roster, all looking to crack the top six.
Joining the team in the spring semester were Wictor Andersson (Karlskoga, Sweden), Johan Wadstein (Helsingborg, Sweden) and Tyler Franks (Eatonton, Ga.). Andersson sports a very strong fundamental game, while Wadstein is a bit more flashy, playing aggressively and trying to utilize the entire court to his advantage. Wadstein finished third at the under-18 nationals in Sweden. Both men will factor in near the top of the lineup. Franks, another Georgia player, has "been quite impressive in the early spring" according to Barsby, and will get a definite shot at a starting spot near the bottom of the lineup.
The Bobcats start the season Saturday, Feb. 6 at 1 p.m., playing host to Morehouse College at the Centennial Center Tennis Facility.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at Twitter.com username GCSUSID for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCSUBobcats.com to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GCSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

BANGOR, Maine — Jurors in the murder trial of a Bradford man accused of beating a Hudson man to death with a large crowbar left the Penobscot Judicial Center about 7:40 p.m. Monday without reaching a verdict.
The jury of seven men and five women deliberated about two hours and 20 minutes before informing Superior Court Justice William Anderson that they wanted to go home for the night.
Anderson told them to resume deliberations at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Peter Robinson, 50, is accused of killing David P. Trask, 71, on Nov. 12, 2011, in an alleged dispute over a right of way.
He testified Thursday that he acted in self-defense. Robinson told the jury that he thought the cellphone holder on Trask's belt was a holster with a gun in it and he feared Trask would shoot him. He told the jury that Trask came at him with a large crowbar when Robinson confronted him about leaving a chain gate down.
Robinson testified that he struck Trask first in the ribs, then on the chin, and once he was on the ground, across the face. The medical examiner said last week that he could not determine whether the second or third strike was the fatal blow.
The defendant and his wife, Cheryl Robinson, 54, of Bradford, both told the jury that they felt harassed by the victim and other members of the Trask family. Cheryl Robinson testified Friday that the couple had decided to sell their property and move after the victim bought an adjoining piece of land in April 2011.
Assistant Attorney General Andrew Benson, who prosecuted the case, said in his closing argument Monday afternoon that Robinson committed not cold-blooded but "hot-blooded murder." The prosecutor described the defendant as "an angry, angry, angry man ready to snap."
Benson dismissed Robinson's claim of self-defense.
"It doesn't pass the straight-face test," he said.
Benson said that once Robinson delivered the first blow, which broke several of Trask's ribs, he had a duty to retreat because he could safely do so. Because he did not, but instead delivered two more blows, one that "pulverized" the victim's face, Robinson did not act in self-defense.
"No matter how you slice this case, it is a clear case of murder," Benson told the jury. "It is the trifecta of murder. It is intentional murder. It is knowing murder. It is depraved indifference murder."
Robinson was indicted by a Penobscot County grand jury in November 2011 on one count each of intentional or knowing murder and depraved indifference murder.
Defense attorney Thomas Hallett of Portland referred to the victim, his brothers and other family members as "a band of bullies who hunted where they wanted and when they wanted" in his closing argument.
"This is a case of self-defense," Hallett said. "Pete had no other option but to act the way he did. He was reacting to a continuing threat of death."
The defense attorney said that Robinson could not have retreated from the confrontation with David Trask because "you can't outrun a bullet."
"[Robinson] had a reasonable belief that David Trask had a gun in his pocket or in a holster on his belt," Hallett told the jury. "Peter Robinson was justified in acting the way he acted. David Trask was not justified in acting the way he acted."
On Monday morning, the grandson of the victim denied that he and his father discussed killing the defendant.
Darrick Trask, who was called as a witness for the defense, testified that he was upset that his paternal grandfather had been killed but said he did not recall discussing a plan to kill Robinson with his father, David A. Trask, 50, of Hudson.
Darrick Trask told police when he was arrested last summer for setting a car on fire in an unrelated incident that his father had asked him to kill Robinson, according to a motion filed last month by Hallett.
David A. Trask took the stand Wednesday and vehemently denied the allegation.
"I am not a murderer, sir. Your client is, in my opinion," the son of the victim told the defense attorney under cross-examination.
Darrick Trask pleaded guilty in November to aggravated criminal mischief, a Class C crime, in connection with the car fire, according to Bangor Daily News archives. He was sentenced to prison for two years with all but five months suspended and one year of probation and was ordered to pay more than $4,200 in restitution. He is now on probation after serving most of his sentence while awaiting the resolution of the case.
In an alleged second murder-for-hire plot, Anderson ruled Monday morning, before the jury was brought into the packed courtroom, that two of the victim's brothers could not testify about what they might have planned while Robinson was awaiting trial.
Anderson said the men could offer little information without getting into areas in which the men's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination would be at risk.
On Friday, two of Trask's four brothers were asked questions about an alleged murder-for-hire plot before the jury entered the courtroom. Keith Trask, 68, and George Trask, 66, both of Corinth, on the advice of their attorneys — Hunter Tzovarras and Michael Rair, respectively — refused to answer questions about allegations that they hired a man to kill Robinson and dump his body at sea last year.
Hallett has stated in at least one court document that the two men and one of their wives hatched a murder-for-hire plot in the first half of 2012.
No one has been charged in the alleged scheme outlined in court documents. No one has been granted immunity from prosecution.
Robinson has been free on bail since just before Christmas 2011.
In addition to instructions on murder and self-defense, the judge told jurors they could convict Robinson of manslaughter if they found him not guilty of murder.
If convicted of murder, Robinson faces 25 years to life in prison. The maximum sentence for manslaughter is 30 years.

Please refer to this thread now: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
This guide is outdated since there is a new and better ntfs supporting driver now.
As initially posted on the Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
Initial Remark:
Warning! Ntfs writing support is still experimental! You should not enable it on production machines and/or volumes you don't have backups of. Proceed at your own risk!
End of Initial Remark.
That being said, it is quite safe and if it fails to write something, will not corrupt your disk (unless there's a bug somewhere).
This initial part is for Breezy only, Dapper users already have the required packages
I - Install the necessary dependencies
Code:bash:~$ sudo apt-get install libfuse2 fuse-utils
II - Get the latest ntfsprogs package
Note: You will be downloading these directly from the Dapper repositories, so they are safe to install.
III - Install the downloaded packages
Code:bash:~$ sudo dpkg -i libfuse2_*.deb fuse-utils_*.deb ntfsprogs_*.deb libntfs8_*.deb
Dapper and Breezy instructions from here on:
Note: you can replace the "gksudo gedit" commands with your preferred editor (ex: "sudo nano", for instance)
1 - Add fuse to the list of modules to load
Code:bash:~$ echo fuse | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
2 - Create a user group to access the ntfs disks
The output should look something like this:Code:bash:~$ sudo addgroup ntfs
Take notice of your group GID (the number printed after the group name), as it can differ for you and we will need it.Code:Adding group `ntfs' (1002)... Done.
3 - Edit the fstab file to mount the disks
Make a backup of your current settings:
Edit the fstab file:Code:bash:~$ sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
Find the line that currently mounts your ntfs partitons, and change them to look like this:Code:bash:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
Notice the use of the group's GID from before, and the umask to allow write access just to owner (root) and group (ntfs), and read access to everyone.Code:/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1002,umask=0002 0 0
You could also use an umask=0007 to block all access for users not on the ntfs group.
4 - Add users to the ntfs group
Where username stands for the user you whish to add (replace it with a real username). Do this for all the users you want to be able to write to ntfs disks.Code:bash:~$ sudo adduser username ntfs
5 - Fix Dapper bug #29865 of the linux-ntfs package:
Code:bash:~$ sudo rm /sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse && sudo ln /usr/bin/ntfsmount /sbin/mount.ntfs-fuse
If you reboot now, the disk will be writable to the selected users when they logon.
If you want the changes to take effect immediately without rebooting, execute these commands:
(Ignore errors about "/" and others not being unmounted, it doesn't matter)Code:bash:~$ sudo modprobe fuse && sudo umount -a && sudo mount -a
You'll have to logout from all your user sessions for the new group to be acknowledged (usually a logout from your graphical session and login back again will do it).
1) If you get this error:
You will have to boot into your Windows OS and do a "chkdsk /f" (aka. scandisk) on the partiton that you are trying to mount. Currently, ntfsprogs can't check/fix the integrity of the partitions and will refuse to mount them if they are marked as dirty (ie. needing to be checked), so you'll have to do it from Windows.Code:Couldn't mount device '/dev/hda1': Operation not supported Windows did not shut down properly. Try to mount volume in windows, shut down and try again. Mount failed.
2) You can't access the ntfs partitions from Nautilus anymore from the computer:/// places. This is a bug of Nautilus I think. You'll get an error like this:
A workaround is manually creating a link from the mountpoint to your desktop for easy access.Code:Unable to mount the selected volume mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda1 is already mounted on /media/hda1
3) If you want to check whether you are in the ntfs group, type:
it will output all groups the current user is in. Example:Code:bash:~$ groups
4) If you partition/format the NTFS drive in Linux then the System Volume Information folder is not created and you must run chkdsk on it in order for it to work correctly. (as reported by glycerin)Code:username adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin ntfs
