The Malik Report
St. James updates Red Wings' pursuit of Lecavalier, says Wings' UFA's-to-be will wait and see

Updated 5x at 4:33 PM: Via RedWingsFeed, the Free Press's Helene St. James reports that the Red Wings did meet with Vincent Lecavalier this morning, and now they'll wait to find out where Lecavalier wants to land:
The Wings are among about a dozen NHL teams who think Lecavalier would be a good addition, which will lead to eager bidding for his services. Holland described his meeting with Lecavalier as a sort of "feeling out" situation.
"I talked to him about our organization, where he'd fit in," Holland told the Free Press. "If he's interested in us, we'll talk later."
St. James says that the Wings probably aren't willing to give Lecavalier a long-term deal, which may be a show-stopper...
The stumbling block for the Wings is likely going to come down to term. The buzz in hockey circles is that Lecavalier wants five-to-six years; the Wings aren't likely to top two. Another team, like the Calgary Flames, who also met with Lecavalier, are likely to give him whatever he wants. So then it's up to Lecavalier where he'd rather play. Several others teams are in play, too: Montreal, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Dallas, Toronto, Washington and Boston.
The news isn't as good on the Wings' own UFA front, especially given that players can begin to talk to other teams in a "wining and dining" period starting tomorrow:
With today's focus on the draft, talks with unrestricted free agents will heat up Monday. Players cannot sign until Friday. The Wings remain in talks with all three of their unrestricted free agents — Damien Brunner, Daniel Cleary and Valtteri Filppula — but all appear to want to listen to offers from other teams.
The Wings have most of their pieces in place. A top-six forward tops their wanted list, but that holds true for half the league. Holland reiterated that "I'm not signing somebody just to have something to talk about. We're not looking to make lateral moves. We're not looking for one-year fixers."
The Wings have 12 forwards under contract for next season, along with coming contracts in restricted free agents Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson. They're also operating under the parameters that guys like Riley Sheahan and Tomas Jurco will be pushing for spots in 2014-15.
Also of Wings-related note:
And, from me:

If the Panthers are willing to move Tomas Fleischmann, #redwings would be interested.
They have a former Red Wing, we have a 1st round draft pick. Sounds like a match made in Holland heaven.

Yep. It probably was all about term after all.

I don't follow real closely, but I don't recall any 1 year fixes recently, ?at all? 2 year contracts? Yes.

Holland just might be the master of the disinformation; keeps everyone guessing.

Lecavalier update: he's going to pare down the list of teams tonight, looks like he doesn't want to drag this out (hint, hint)
Posted by Bugsy on 06/30/13 at 02:54 PM ET
Lecavalier is believed to be seeking a long-term deal, possibly five years, and $5 million a season. That would be way more than the Red Wings are willing to offer in term and salary.
And no "one year fixer" either…
This is such bullsh!t

Barring a significant turn of events, doesn't sound like Detroit trades Filppula's rights. Contract talks will continue.

Anybody else have a sneaking suspicion the Wings are going to end up re-signing Filppula?
My "oh, SH*T NO" sense is really tingling today.

"At the end of the day, we've got a move or two left," Holland said. "Our goaltending is set, our defense is set. If we can get a top 2-3 defenseman we'll look at it. They're hard to find. We got 14 forwards signed (including RFAs). Some of them are kids. We have a move or two left over the next week or 10 days.
There is also a chance the Wings could decide to use one or two of their allotted contract buyouts, but would need to do so by July 3 since that player or players has to go on waivers.
"I'm not even sure what we're doing. We're going to get through today. We'll wake up tomorrow. I'm going to go home," Holland said. "We've got until Wednesday or Thursday to make some decisions. I've talked to, if not all the teams, 25-26 teams yesterday or Friday. Probably lots of teams are like I am, they're not sure what to make. There's lots of talk but I can't tell you I sense anything's really happening. There might be something happening with a team or two or three."
Okay, so they're at least it sounds like they're going to do SOMETHING,.... but as the worry above indicates, "not enough".....

I hope the Wings don't re-sign Fil. He's not worth the $. Posted without comment from me because I'm f***ing busy.

If the Wings end up signing Filppula for anything even approaching the money and term he's reportedly requesting, it'll be one of the most inexplicable signings of my lifetime.
If Pagnotta is correct, it's obvious they're serious about getting a deal done. The question now is what the damage will be.
It also probably signifies that the Wings are basically punting on Lecavlier.
Posted by Mandingo from The Garage on 06/30/13 at 03:51 PM ET
Doesn't signify anything about Lecavalier. All it says is that the Wings are being stubborn about attempting to retain their home-grown players.

Whats the clearances on your cam bearings? Having oversize bearings on one journal will cause the cam to deflect and cause the lobes in between the two good journals to wear unevenly and eventually wipe the lobes. This is a very uncommon condition and is usually caused by the cam bearings being replaced with the wrong size at one journal position. Other than that there is little else that would cause this, you could check for this by comparing lift at the valves across all the cylinders with a good cam. If you find a few cylinders with low lift (0.003" or more) you will find the journal that is oversize. This is a good reason to check the diameter of every cam journal bearing before installation. This problem is hard to find because it only gets bad at rpm, if you were racing it you would probably break cams in half.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

Stocks rose sharply Wednesday, helped by a retreat of the yen against its major peers.
The Nikkei 225 average jumped 309.17 points, or 2.02 percent, to end at 15,587.80, its first close above 15,500 since Dec. 11. The Topix gained 18.18 points to end at 1,250.49.
Brokers said that after a weak opening, the TSE climbed on futures-led buying and the yen's slide before the outcome is announced of the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting.
Investors are anxious about whether the Fed will decide to wind down its asset purchase program at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Market players are divided over when the tapering will begin, though most expect the Fed to wait until January or March.
Still, the market was strong as investors are increasingly confident about the recovery of the U.S. economy, Masashi Oguchi at Mito Securities Co.'s investment information department said, pointing in particular to falling unemployment numbers.
Unlike in May, when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke spooked the market by suddenly hinting at the possibility of the tapering, players are better prepared to cope because they are now well aware that it must start soon or later, Oguchi said.
Rising issues outnumbered falling ones 1,148 to 469 on the first section, while 155 issues were unchanged. Volume increased to 2.528 billion shares from 1.931 billion Tuesday.
Automakers gathered momentum, with Honda jumping more than 3 percent and Toyota and Mazda up well over 1 percent.
Heavily weighted Nikkei components such as Fast Retailing, the operator of Uniqlo clothing stores, mobile carrier SoftBank and industrial robot maker Fanuc, were upbeat. Fanuc rewrote its listing-to-date high set in May.
JGBs maintain rise
Japanese government bonds rose further Wednesday, though a surge in stock prices capped the upside.
The lead March futures contract on 10-year JGBs finished up 0.05 point at 144.13 after briefly rising to 144.26 in the morning. Volume fell to 27,193 contracts from Tuesday's 29,886.
In late interdealer trading in cash JGBs, the yield on the latest 332nd 10-year issue with a 0.6 percent coupon stood at 0.660 percent, down from 0.665 percent late Tuesday, after hitting 0.650 percent in the morning.

recirculation door motor
so I have a code for the recirculation door motor...not responding. where is this motor? I had previously fixed the part under the glove box side that attaches to the blend doors....is this a different part? getting very cold in Iowa now...I need this fixed. Thanks
Re: recirculation door motor
1 Attachment(s)
The recirculation door itself is just sitting above the blower motor. The blower motor can be accessed via the passengers footwell (3 screws and 1 connector).
The recirculation door actuator is mounted on the outside of the HVAC housing, but the service manual says to remove the whole dash. I wonder if its not possible to just remove the center instrument panel to get access to the actuator. Maybe someone who changed it can tell.
Attached a picture of the HVAC housing. On the right hand side you can see the blower motor impeller through the screen and the recirculation door just above it. the actuator is visible on the left hand side of the housing where the recirculation door hinges.
Re: recirculation door motor
with the glove box out of the way, i look under the dash to what I thought was the reirculation door. it's behind a plastic grid, right? so when I turn the recirculation switch off and on, the door moves accordingly. so i guess the recirc door is working...and the motor working so the code must've been a fluke. still don't understand tho why i am getting cold air and not heat from the passenger side vents. the blend door is broken, but stuck in the up position so it should be hot air all the time. this confuses me.

New member from south Alabama
I just signed up. I got an 06 rubi with a few mods.I am down in Mobile, Al.
Looking good and welcome aboard! How bout some specs and that rig? :D
looks really good
welcome to WF
RE4.5SF kit,35x12.50 BFG MT,15"x10" MT classic lock II, front BTF bumper with Warn 9500 dual power plant winch,rear Rock hard bumper with spare tire carrier. Is that enough specs for you. Right now it's as much as my wallet will allow. LOL
Thanks for the comment :D
wow that some jeep then
how do you like the powerplant???? how fast does it air up, b/c i can get a M8000 for $550 and a 5 gallon tank and a compressor for 125 so is it worth the extra $325???
To keep it all together in one package yes it's worth it. I've seen it on sale for 1199 shipped so it's priced right. I've used the winch but not the compressor yet. So I 'll have to wait to give you my opinion on that.
Good looking jeep and great action shots! Welcome to WF. :D
Welcome, dude. Nice looking Jeep there. Glad you joined us. Used to get through Mobile, at least once a month.

The Tories have added a shopping mall to their conference. Behind the main hall you can find Harvey Nichols, M&S, Crombie, Austin Reed, a place where you can be measured for a suit, a stall selling carpeting, even a stand where you may buy Conservative Conference 2009 Christmas tree baubles, three for £10. How festive can you get? It's for a home where you might expect a Conservative policy review in your stocking, or a Dominic Grieve action doll.
Most British airports these days are just retail opportunities with a few planes waiting around outside; in the same way, it must be infuriating if you pop along to order some carpet for the front room and can't hear yourself think because of the politicians droning on next door.
This air of surreal, dreamlike oddness extends to the conference itself. Labour calls its chairmen "chair" even when they're men. But the Tories' chair for the week, Emma Pidding, is addressed as "chairman", though she is clearly a woman.
The conference chairman is different from the party chair, who is male, specifically Eric Pickles, built on the lines of a gigantic gherkin, and who addressed us as "my dear chums", which made him seem a bit too much like a creepy scoutmaster for my tastes.
His main task seemed to be to depress the mood. "Be under no illusion, the general election is not in the bag. We still have a mountain to climb."
Having sprayed them with gloom, he left them to Oliver Letwin, who ought to be in that new film, The Invention of Lying, because he can't.
He gave a long and dry account of new Tory policies. When one created a faint stir in the audience, he pleaded: "You're not supposed to clap. This presentation is supposed to be so factual, there is not a single clap-line in it. Sorry."
I'd love to have heard him at the Winter Palace: "Look, the tsar is doing a not bad job under quite difficult circumstances …"
Francis Maude was slightly more exciting. He announced a magnificently bizarre plan to have the public monitor government spending through the internet: "We shall unleash an army of armchair auditors who will crawl all over the government's accounts!"
He made them sound like the Wehrmacht, crawling all over Poland, only in comfy recliners instead of tanks. And what will happen when this unleashed army has finished its crawling operations? Will they be sent into Afghanistan with too few Parker-Knolls and inadequate slippers?
Boris Johnson cheered them up a bit, with a speech of which large parts were in English, as opposed to Latin. They liked his attack on Harriet Harman for driving away from the scene of an accident. "It is up to us to sweep up the crushed indicator lights of a classic Labour car crash!" But what really got them going was his pledge to reintroduce Routemaster buses and to restore the river Thames to the London tube map. Much more exciting than the national debt.
In the afternoon members of the shadow cabinet stood in line and made little speeches. They looked like the defendants at a Soviet show trial, and not much perkier.
David Cameron then made a surprise appearance. He also told them how horribly difficult it would be to win the election. Thus thoroughly depressed, they could only cheer themselves up with some marrons glacés from Harvey Nicks, £4.95.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has confirmed the closure of four detention centres on the Australian mainland, in a move he says will save the budget $88.8 million a year.
Several sources have told the ABC the Immigration Department was formally notified of the move a week ago.
The Scherger detention centre in far-north Queensland as well as the empty Pontville facility in Tasmania are among the sites to shut down.
The other two facilities to close are at Leonora in Western Australia and Port Augusta in South Australia.
The Government has been reviewing the future of Australia's various detention centres as it aims to divert all new boat arrivals offshore.

Join Me In Creating Standards For Competitive Sales Battle Cards!
Posted by Dean Davison on August 1, 2011
- 614 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Forrester's sales enablement team is launching a collaborative effort with our clients and other experts to establish standards for competitive battle cards and I invite you to participate – send me an email to join.
If you are on the receiving end of battle cards today, you know the big challenge intimately because I hear you daily in my inquiries saying things like, "how can we standardize battle cards that come from dozens of different teams?" and "How do we equip our sales reps to anticipate and respond to competitive obstacles more effectively?" For those of you on the supply side, I hear you too, saying, "every sales rep asks for different things" and "we don't have a way to measure the impact of our work, so we keep doing what we think is best."
Stuck in the middle are the folks battle cards are supposed to be helping in the first place – sales reps – who tell me, "it takes too much work to find and use our battle cards" and "I need competitive insights, but I tap other sources that are more reliable."
Consider the size of this opportunity! When we get this right, we will be able to connect battle cards with real business outcomes – like faster sales cycles and win rates against key competitors – and isn't that why we build battle cards in the first place? Opportunities will advance through the pipeline more quickly when sales reps have tools to anticipate and effectively respond to obstacles created by competitors.
We can fix this!
So why take this on now?
A growing number of sales enablement leaders have taken on the challenge of fixing the battle card problem and are finding that the battle cards delivered to sales pass through several sets of hands on the way. One group defines which battle cards sales needs, another contributes the competitive insights, and yet another looks at content drafts and edits that down based on their perspective on what sales reps need – all before anyone in the sales organization sees the document!
Here is just one example: During a recent conversation with a sales enablement leader at a software provider, she described the following battle card process at her company. Her challenge is that nobody takes primary ownership for battle cards – not until she called timeout anyway. And she is not an expert in competitive intelligence, but she received the assignment to "fix the battle card problem."
Her world, in reality is far more complicated still. Her team has to work with dozens of product management teams, geography leaders, and field marketing groups that span major business units.The result is that no two battle cards are alike, they have no common design point, and sales people are not getting the value intended from using them. It's a mess.
Put another way, she has nearly an infinite combination of contacts and relationships that she has to navigate to fix a problem that really should not be her problem at all – or anyone's for that matter. If only there were a clear standard she could demand and reinforce.
The initiative that I am driving to create battle card standards is intended to arm sales enablement leaders with the standards they need to address situations similar to our client at this software company. Some of you are launching battle card programs for the first time; others of you have established programs that seem to be working, but don't have any metrics to show the value of your work. The effort will help you too.
The standards that we create for battle cards will be an asset for sales enablement professionals to communicate common definitions for battle cards, give them a baseline for scope, content, and quality, and the metrics needed to gauge their impact on sales.
As someone who works with battle cards, on either the supply side or the enablement side, I invite you to join our initiative to create battle card standards. This team will kickoff on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 and meet weekly – send me an email to get involved.

The Nisnas Industries Black Night Steel Toe Wooden Brompton Mudguards are the ultimate in Brompton accessorization. With their gorgeous stripy finish, rich shine and sleek steel 'toe caps', these mudguards really make a statement, not least because they are made of exotic Wenge wood. Designed to complement the stealthy look of the all-black Black Edition Brompton, these mudguards would also look awesome with some of the lighter or brighter Brompton colours.
The mudguards come pre-punched and ready to be fitted to Brompton mudguard stays (not included, but if you're swapping with existing Brompton mudguards you should be able to reuse your old mudguard stays). The mudguards are surprisingly robust and durable and their stainless steel edges provide additional resilience as well as looking damn cool. Period.
If your Brompton has a rack you'll need the 'R' size, for Bromptons with mudguards but no rack it's the 'L' size.

Preview: IceCaps vs. Bulldogs Posted by IceCaps on
By Chris Doyle
Communications Coordinator
The St. John's IceCaps and Hamilton Bulldogs reconnect for a two-game series Tuesday and Wednesday at Mile One Centre.
The IceCaps are fresh off a sweep of the Hershey Bears this past weekend at Mile One. Friday, Patrice Cormier racked up four points – including his first professional hat trick – in a 6-1 IceCaps drubbing. John Albert had three assists (his second three-assist game of the season) and was a team-best plus-5.
Saturday, the teams played a more tightly-contested affair, with the Bears battling back to tie the game at two with less than three minutes to play in regulation. Jason King proved to be the hero, scoring the only goal in the shootout to lift St. John's to a 3-2 victory.
Goaltender Eddie Pasquale started both contests and was on his game, stopping 47-of-50 shots in winning his 18th and 19th games of the season. The Toronto native, who was presented with his award Friday for winning Reebok/AHL Player of the Week for the week beginning Feb. 6, has won four consecutive starts, posting a 1.71 goals-against average and a 0.932 save percentage.
However, the young netminder did not fare well against the Bulldogs in his most recent outing. The 21-year-old was shelled for three goals on just eight shots in the first period of 4-3 IceCaps loss on Feb. 17 in Hamilton.
Defenceman Paul Postma has also been on a roll as of late, registering a point in five straight games (2g, 3a). The Red Deer, Alberta-born blueliner is tied for first among AHL defencemen with 13 goals and is two shy of his career high of 15, set in 2009-10 with the Chicago Wolves. Postma is also just three points away from matching his career high of 45, which he set last season with Chicago in 69 games. In six games versus Hamilton this season, Postma has recorded three points (1g, 2a).
The Bulldogs have lost five of their last six and have not managed to score more than two goals in regulation time since a 7-2 win in Rochester on Feb. 19. Hamilton dropped both games of a home-and-home against the Toronto Marlies this past weekend, losing 5-1 Friday at Copps Coliseum and 2-1 in overtime Saturday in Toronto.
Hamilton has fallen to 14th in the Western Conference, 11 points back of the Lake Erie Monsters for the 8th and final playoff spot.
In the season series, the IceCaps are 3-2-0-1, including a 1-1-0-0 mark at Mile One Centre. The Bulldogs handed the IceCaps a 4-0 loss back on Oct. 14 in the club's inaugural home opener, as Nathan Lawson stopped 40 shots for the shutout. The IceCaps avenged their opening night loss the next day, coming back with a 6-2 victory on the strength of Carl Klingberg's hat trick.
Catch all the action with play-by-play broadcaster Brian Rogers at www.stjohnsicecaps.com and on 930AM This Is Newfoundland Labrador. Pregame show begins at 7:00 p.m. with the drop of the puck set for 7:30 (all times Newfoundland).

Posted by Andrew Bartels on March 21, 2011
With Japan's triple hit of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear power plant dominating newspaper headlines and TV news, I have gotten some questions from clients about the impact of the disaster on the overall tech market. In general, I think the effects of these disasters on the total 2011 outlook will be small -- at worst, they will hurt tech market growth in Q2 2011 while strengthening growth in Q3 and Q4. However, that outlook assumes that the problems at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex improve or don't worsen. If that situation turns into a Chernobyl-type disaster that causes permanent evacuations from a multi-mile radius around the plant and possible shutdowns of other nuclear power plants, the impacts on the Japanese economy and on the Japanese tech industry -- not to mention for the people of Japan -- would be very negative, and cause a downward adjustment in our tech market forecast.
The potential impacts of the Japanese disasters show up on both the tech supply side and on the tech demand side, so let's look at both angles.

He needs to be socialized. Let him meet new people so he can realize that they're okay and are not going to harm him/you.
Nina answered on 5/14/10. Helpful? / 0
It really depends on the type of barking he does. My dog is incredibly well socialized, goes to daycare with 30 other dogs twice a week, and still barks at other dogs when we are on walks while he is on leash. It is an excited response (basically him saying come on now lets play, or why won't you let me immediately go play with that dog). Right now i am working on making him sit calmly until the other dog either approaches him, or passes by. It is taking a lot of work, and i have to be vigilant to have him sit as soon as I see the other dog. When we first started this he would have to sit between my legs (so I had control, he's a big boy) and if he barked while sitting like that iwould bring his snout straight up and growl no directly into it. It's been getting better. If your puppy is anything like mine, just be consistent and it will get better. You've entered the terrible teens, and it is frustrating, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Alicia Keys - Unmanipulated
1 Attachment(s)
I was on the hunt the other day an Alicia Keys hair photo. I know she is natural but most of the time I see her her hair is braided, straight, a weave or looks manipulated with a curling iron or rollers.
This one appears to just be her regular curl pattern. Maybe litte heat damage in the front? Anyway love her hair. Mine is tighter curl but I think I can pull off many of the curly looks she does.
It just dawned on me that I have never seen her natural curl pattern either. I'm used to seeing her with cornrows or straight hair.
Alicia should wear her natural pattern more often. With hair like hers, I don't understand why her stylist feels the need to manipulate it so much other than an occassional stretched style or pretty updo. She should just let it do it's thing!
I love this look on her. I think she looks better this way than with any other hairstyle I've seen.
In one of her videos from her 1st album she has her hair out and I remember falling in love with how massive it was. I'm going to try to find the video and post it here...
Eta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Jt1jSimjs&ob=av2e
Blame it on the cell phone...
her hair wow wow wow love her braids. beautiful~
1 Attachment(s)
This is a candid pic of her hair on what seems to be an off work day. No stylist or anything special, just as unmanipulated as we will probably ever see.
I don't believe that's Alicia's natural curl pattern. I hear people saying she's a 3b all the time and I don't believe it. She has dye damage and heat damage in her hair.
Naturally she's a 3c/4a mix leaning more 3c IMO:
By high school she definitely looks like she's texturized. And yep..she definitely got that nose done too.
Personally..I like her damaged hair though just fine. Looks pretty to me when she just lets it go wild like in the photos BlessedBMyRoots posted.
I don't think she has dye damage or anything I just think that back then she just had a hard time defining her curls and there also has never been hair product out for our natural hair like it is now. I don't think those pictures are relevant for guessing her hair type cus it looks like its kind of picked out in one and like there's nothing in it in the other. Keep in mind that's she's mixed, perhaps her mom didn't know how to care for her hair type.
Her hair in her senior photo looks very healthy defined. People were using gel back them. Either way I think her hair is very pretty.
I agree with adthomas. It looks like a textbook case of heat damage. That's why so many celebs wear wigs and pieces--to protect their hair from damage.
And what the heck does her being mixed have to do with her mom not knowing how to do her hair??? Nevermind. I dont even want to know.
Blame it on the cell phone...
Whether her mom knew how to do it or not is really irrelevant to her actual NATURAL hair type. I think it's been a LONG time since Alicia Keys has had her natural curl pattern as it grows out of her head. Her hair has been damaged from dye and heat..clearly. She's hardly ever seen in public with unmanipulated hair. And one can see from her childhood photos her curls aren't the same today. And I still think she was texturized in her senior photo..a lot of mixed girls used to texturize their hair (and still do frankly) back in the day..they just didn't tell anyone and pretend it's natural. And it wouldn't surprise me if she got a fresh texturizer for her senior photo.

"I wanted stickers to seal Valentine's treat bags for class - This design is perfect for boys, as most are quite girly (not that there's anything wrong with that!)."
"Matching tags I got with my sons invitations. Was surprised as I was expecting something bigger but a in actual fact nice and small. These a stickers and il be using them on the kids party/loot bags."
"We used these for my sons classroom valentines, he Loves dinosaurs and isn't really into Valentines day until he saw all the candy - I stuck them on a bag of heart candies instead of attaching a valentine card and it was so much easier! No tape, no signing his name, and so him! Loved these!"
"I received my order very fast. I loved the colors and decided to use them for the color scheme for my daughter's 1st birthday party. The tags are a great size and I was happy that they are adhesives so can be used as a sticker."
"These are the perfect touch for sealing a card, a goodie bag, or making custom labels for different party favors. The only complaint is a minor one of the ink quality...just a tad lighter than the picture online (almost like I printed them myself) I had debated wether or not they were worth it, needless to say, I will definitely add these to all my future orders! Bonus: I received my order nearly a week earlier than expected."

Uighurs Riot. At a Toy Factory, No Less.
posted at 12:53 am on June 27, 2009 by coldwarrior
According to Reuters, out of Hong Kong, "Ethnic clashes between Han Chinese and Uighur workers at a toy factory in China's southern Guangdong province killed two people and injured 118, a newspaper reported on Saturday."
According to the Reuters report: "In a massive night brawl at the "Early Light" toy factory in Guangdong's Shaoguan city, a group of Han Chinese fought with Uighurs from China's northwestern Xinjiang region who had been recently recruited to the factory, Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper reported.
"The violence lasted until the early hours of Friday morning and at least 16 were seriously injured, the newspaper reported.
"About 400 riot police had to be deployed to quell the unrest as the rival workers battled, some with knives and metal pipes. The violence was reportedly sparked by a spate of crimes at the factory following the arrival of around 600 Uighur workers in May this year, the newspaper said.
"Some people carrying metal pipes entered a dormitory to attack Uighur workers. But the Uighurs fought back with knives, leading to a fierce brawl involving hundreds," the newspaper said."
Not the first time that Han Chinese have been involved in violence toward other ethnic groups in China…Han soldiers were used to put down the Tianamen Liberty demonstrations in 1989.
But, not reported by Reuters, and a major subtext to this story, is that things at the "Early Light" toy factory in Shaoguan had been perfectly peachy…until they received an order for tens of thousands of Obama action figure toys…and the Uighurs balked at working on them. That's when the fireworks began.
The head of the Uighur's National Council could not be reached for comment, as he was on a fact-finding trip to Palau and Bermuda.
Used to be the only thing dangerous about Chinese toys was lead in the paint, magnets that fell off and could be swallowed by infants and fire-prevention chemicals that often burst into flame.

ASA 5540 FTP problem
I am having problem on ASA 5540 during FTP data transfer between DMZ's. ASA 5540 is configured one interface for INSIDE, the second for OUTSIDE (internet) and the third interface for three DMZ's by creating subinterfaces. When ever I initiate FTP from INSIDE to one of DMZ's and start data transfer, all other connection from INSIDE to DMZ including traffic to OUTSIDE will be very very slow or some times time out. But when data transfer is finished, every thing will be normal.
I checked the configuration including NAT/PAT, IPS, access-lists but found nothing wrong. show perfmon also shows normal stats. There is also nothing change on memorey or cpu utilization during the problem. When checking connectivity from the ASA it self to DMZ ,it is also pefect. the problem is only on Inter DMZ communication.
Any comment apreciated!
From the captures that you posted. ICMP replies were sent out the inside interface but, your host didn't receive it. Why?
I don' t believe this is a firewall problem. What happens after the replies leave the firewall? Can we run a span on the switch? Is there a layer 3 device on the inside doing some sort of QoS/Policing?

At least in Ealing, Iowa.
Sixteen-year-old Austin Szerba interweaves the story of his Polish legacy with the story of how he and his best friend, Robby, brought about the end of humanity and the rise of an army of unstoppable, six-foot tall praying mantises in small-town Iowa.
To make matters worse, Austin's hormones are totally oblivious; they don't care that the world is in utter chaos: Austin is in love with his girlfriend, Shann, but remains confused about his sexual orientation. He is stewing in a self-professed constant state of maximum horniness, directed at both Robby and Shann.
Ultimately, it is up to Austin to save the world and propagate the species in this sci-fright journey of survival, sex, and the complex realities of the human condition.
Grasshopper Jungle is an outrageous coming-of-age story set during the end of humanity about two boys who are determined to record its destruction while also trying to save it. Austin Szerba is the narrator and guide to the end of the world. He writes everything down to insure there is a comprehensive history of life in Ealing, Iowa. He's done this for years. Now that there is an army of hungry and horny six-foot tall praying mantises taking over, Austin records it all. Andrew Smith is known for writing compelling and completely unique teen perspectives and this one is his most outlandish yet. His no holds barred stream of consciousness narration is probably not for everyone, but when it comes to Andrew Smith, I will tear through it like no other. Quite possibly the weirdest book I will read all year.
Going into this book, I had no idea what to expect. I hear nothing but good things about Andrew Smith's books (especially from our reviewer Jennifer) so I knew the writing would be solid, but I was not ready for that level of high-octane weird and wonderful. It's a testament to his writing that he is able to pull of such a mind-altering end-of-the-world scenario.
Austin Szerba is one hell of a narrator. He's sexually frustrated and confused, like most teens male and female alike. He's also one hell of a historian. Austin feels the need to write down every detail of life in Ealing and while it occasionally feels like unnecessary, scattered thoughts, the thoughts come together and reveal a hidden latticework of the story. All that aside, you will get to know Austin inside and out. For better or worse.
My best suggestion to any reader approaching this book, whether slowly or ravenously, just keep reading. No matter what you think initially. I bet you'll love it.
Thanks to the lovely marketing team at Penguin Teen, they've allowed us to give away a special prize pack to one lucky winner!

Andrew Smith is the award-winning author of several Young Adult novels, including the critically acclaimed Winger (Starred reviews in Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, Booklist, and Shelf Awareness—an Amazon "Best of the Year") and The Marbury Lens (A YALSA BFYA, and Starred reviews and Best of the Year in both Publishers Weekly and Booklist).
He is a native-born Californian who spent most of his formative years traveling the world. His university studies focused on Political Science, Journalism, and Literature. He has published numerous short stories and articles. Grasshopper Jungle, coming February 11, 2014, is his seventh novel. He lives in Southern California.

UNESCO strips Dresden of World Heritage site title
By Sarah Marsh
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's picturesque Dresden Elbe Valley was formally dropped as a U.N. World Heritage site Thursday, making it only the second landmark ever to be removed from the prestigious list.
The U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said it de-listed Dresden after a three-year battle -- for ignoring objections and building a four-lane motorway bridge over the river that would irreversibly damage the landscape.
"Every time we fail to preserve a site we share the pain," said Maria Jesus San Segundo, chair of the session of the World Heritage Committee that met in Seville, Spain, in a statement on its website (www.www.33whc.sevilla2009.es/de).
Dresden was awarded the title of World Heritage site in 2004 for its valley of 18th and 19th century landscape that extends 18 km (11 miles) along the Elbe. It includes central Dresden, baroque palaces and gardens.
"We've got to accept this decision with regret," said Dresden Mayor Helma Orosz.
The city, once dubbed the Florence of northern Europe for its architectural jewels, was reduced to ruins by Allied bombing raids near the end of World War Two.
Since the restoration of many monuments to their former glory, including the landmark Frauenkirche in 2005, the capital of Saxony has drawn visitors from far and wide.
UNESCO warned German authorities in 2006 it would de-list Dresden Elbe Valley unless plans to build the bridge in the middle of the heritage zone were scrapped. Continued...

After Paris attacks, Pope speaks out against insulting religions
By Philip Pullella
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (Reuters) - Pope Francis, speaking of last week's deadly attacks by Islamist militants in Paris, has defended freedom of expression, but said it was wrong to provoke others by insulting their religion and that one could "expect" a reaction to such abuse.
"You can't provoke, you can't insult the faith of others, you can't make fun of faith," he told reporters on Thursday, aboard a plane taking him from Sri Lanka to the Philippines to start the second leg off his Asian tour.
Francis, who has condemned the Paris attacks, was asked about the relationship between freedom of religion and freedom of expression.
"I think both freedom of religion and freedom of expression are both fundamental human rights," he said, adding that he was talking specifically about the Paris killings.
"Everyone has not only the freedom and the right but the obligation to say what he thinks for the common good ... we have the right to have this freedom openly without offending," he said.
To illustrate his point, he turned to an aide and said: "It is true that you must not react violently, but although we are good friends if (he) says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch, it's normal.
"You can't make a toy out of the religions of others," he added. "These people provoke and then (something can happen). In freedom of expression there are limits."
Seventeen people, including journalists and police, were killed in three days of violence that began with a shooting attack on the political weekly Charlie Hebdo, known for its satirical attacks on Islam and other religions. Continued...

Gov. Rick Perry today emphasized Texas' commitment to its veterans at the Texas Veterans of Foreign Wars Mid-Winter Round Up.
"Texas has a deep appreciation for the men and women who don the uniform of our country and risk their lives for our freedom, and that appreciation continues after they return home," Gov. Perry said. "We must ensure our veterans return from the field of battle to live a life of dignity, with the opportunity to find their place in our economy and access to the services they were promised when they joined up."
Gov. Perry is committed to providing services to help our veterans, especially those men and women returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, transition into civilian life. In November, the governor responded to a backlog of more than 39,000 pending disability and health benefit claims at Veterans Administration regional offices by funding a 12-person Claims Processing Assistance Team (CPAT) within the Texas Veterans Commission. To date the CPAT, has assisted in over 1,400 cases and has 866 cases ready for action by the VA.
Additionally, the governor worked with the Legislature and the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to secure an additional $5 million to supplement the $1.2 million from the state budget to expand mental health treatment and support programs for veterans and their families. This additional funding has been made available to local mental health authorities in grants of up to $245,000 to help with programs such as vet-to-vet peer support groups, family education and trauma therapy.
In the last legislative session, Gov. Perry signed SB 297, which provides in-state tuition for veterans who are eligible for federal education benefits, and to their spouses and children. The bill also provides a tuition exemption for dependent children with a parent who is a Texas resident deployed on active duty overseas. The governor also signed SB 93, which makes important changes to the Hazelwood Act allowing eligible veterans, their children and spouses to receive an exemption from the payment of tuition and most fees for up to 150 semester credit hours of state-supported classes at colleges and universities.
Gov. Perry also touted the Texas Veterans Leadership Program, which provides employment and training services, resources and referrals to veterans.

Yes Mr. President, Fox News is a political outlet
Blog ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
We've been saying it for years: Fox News is not a news organization, it is a political outlet. It seems that the President agrees. In the latest Rolling Stone, President Obama is quoted as saying Fox News is "part of the tradition" of media outlets who, like William Randolph Hearst, report with "a very clear, undeniable point of view." He added, "It's a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world."
At this point, it is even hard for Fox to deny that it has an agenda. After all, this is the same news outlet that relentlessly propped up the tea party movement, allows its contributors to fundraise for conservative causes on air, serves as a launching pad for countless GOP candidates' general election campaigns, spent hours fawning over the GOP's widely panned Pledge to America, and routinely allows Republican politicians to fundraise on air. Not to mention the fact that its parent organization, News Corp, donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association, while giving exactly zero to its Democratic counterpart.
Five potential Republican presidential candidates are employed by the network, in turn providing them with at least 269 appearances to promote themselves and their positions. Fox's embrace of the Republican Party is so transparent, that even the candidates they tactically endorse don't feel the need to keep secret just how much they benefit from their relationship with Fox. Recall that just days ago, Sharon Angle, Nevada's Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, bragged about how much money she's able to raise through her Fox News appearances.
So I have one message for Fox News. Do us a favor and spare us all your inevitable whining about how "fair and balanced" you are in response to Obama's comments. That gig is up.

CHICAGO -- Freddy Garcia was happy to see September.
Garcia won for the first time since July 31, and Carl Everett and Juan Uribe hit three-run homers that led Chicago White Sox over the Detroit Tigers 9-1 Friday night.
"Last night I talked to the guys and said, 'Save some for tomorrow,' and they did," Garcia said, referring to Thursday's 12-3 victory over Detroit.
Garcia (12-7) allowed one run and two hits in seven innings with seven strikeouts, improving to 17-6 in September during his major league career. He was 0-3 with a 4.19 ERA in five August starts.
"He had to step up and show the team what kind of pitcher he is," Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said. "We count on Freddy big time. He's a guy the pitching staff looks up to."
David Sanders, making his first appearance in the major leagues since July 17, 2003, and Bobby Jenks finished the three-hitter.
Chicago took a 4-0 lead in the second, when A.J. Pierzynski had a run-scoring single and Uribe hit his 10th homer.
Garcia threw a run-scoring wild pitch in the fourth, but Chicago made it 8-1 in the bottom half when Pablo Ozuna hit an RBI single and Everett homered for the second straight game.
Sean Douglass (5-3) gave up eight runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings, his ERA rising from 5.58 to 6.39.
"When you're not pitching well, that's what happens," Douglass said.
Detroit has lost seven of nine, falling to 63-69.
"I'd say the pounding continued," Tigers manager Alan Trammell said. "Right now there are no answers. ... We just can't seem to get out of these jams without giving up something huge."
Willie Harris added a solo homer, his first of the season and just his fifth in his three-year career, in the sixth inning against Chris Spurling.
"I don't hit homers too often," Harris said. "I hardly know how it feels to have that trot. I tried to get around the bases and get back to the dugout."
Harris is hitting .428 (9-for-21) since returning to Chicago from a stint in the minors and has four hits in his last two games. He started in place of Tadahito Iguchi, who has missed time for personal reasons.
Along with Pierzynski and Uribe, Harris has helped spark the bottom of the order the past two games.
"We need that," Guillen said. "We've really struggled all season long in the seven, eighth and ninth (spots). No one was consistent there."
The White Sox said longtime radio play-by-play broadcaster John Rooney will not return next season when the team switches stations. The team said it was Rooney's decision; Rooney directed calls to his agent. ... The Tigers' Magglio Ordonez sat out with a sore left biceps after getting hit by a Dustin Hermanson pitch in the ninth inning Thursday. ... Detroit's Dmitri Young was a late scratch with a bruised left thumb. ... Iguchi was late for his second straight game for personal reasons and did not play. ... The White Sox held a "Mullet Night" promotion in which many team employees wore wigs that were short in the front and long in the back.

Santa Anita: Jeranimo's rally in San Gabriel soothes Bejarano's aches and pains
ARCADIA, Calif. - At 4 p.m. on Saturday, jockey Rafael Bejarano was being discharged from a local hospital, cleared of injury after a spill that day at Santa Anita.
Shortly after 4 p.m. on Sunday, Bejarano was in the winner's circle at Santa Anita after guiding Jeranimo to a brilliant win in the $150,500 San Gabriel Stakes on turf.
"I feel better because of this horse," Bejarano said.
Bejarano said that he "was a little bit sore in my body" after Saturday's accident on the hillside turf course. Jeranimo was the last of Bejarano's six mounts on Sunday, and his only winner of the day.
When the field reached the backstretch of the Grade 2 San Gabriel Stakes over 1 1/8 miles, Bejarano's expectations soared.
"He was so comfortable in the post parade," Bejarano said. "I let the speed go. At the half-mile pole, he had me in a good position. He showed me a big kick."
Closing from last in a field of seven, Jeranimo was guided three-wide in the stretch. Jeranimo responded quickly. He was third with a furlong remaining and pulled clear late to win by 2 3/4 lengths over 20-1 Temple's Door. Chosen Miracle, who set a quick pace of 22.75 and 46.75 seconds, held third, followed by an unlucky Juniper Pass, Tale of a Champion, Slim Shadey, and Fast Track.
Jeranimo was timed in 1:46.50 and paid $6 as the second betting choice.
Juniper Pass raced in traffic in the stretch and did not have a clear run until the final sixteenth.
Slim Shadey, the 3-2 favorite, was fourth with a furlong remaining but faded through the final furlong to finish seven lengths behind the winner. Jockey Garrett Gomez said after the race that Slim Shadey had "lost his footing," according to trainer Simon Callaghan.
"He seems fine," Callaghan said. "He said he lost his footing and looked after him."
As Callaghan said that, he watched Slim Shadey walk back to the barn area on the main track.
"It's like he didn't run a race," Callaghan said.
Jeranimo races for B.J. Wright and trainer Mike Pender. A 7-year-old horse by Congaree, Jeranimo earned $90,000 on Sunday, and has won 9 of
32 starts and $1,197,400. Jeranimo won the Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile at Betfair Hollywood Park last June, but lost his final three starts of 2012.
In November, Jeranimo was sixth in the Breeders' Cup Mile here and fourth in the Grade 2 Citation Handicap at Hollywood Park.
Jeranimo has been a fixture in the San Gabriel for the last three winter-spring meetings. He won the race in December 2010, and was second last year when the race was run in January.
Congratulations to Santa Anita for putting up very good weekend racing. Please be aware that your Canadian sites especially Woodbine are causing great damage to your integrity by ripping off the betting public on Santa Anita betting. On close examination Jan.13, 2013, Ninth race Trifecta at Santa Anita paid $449.00 for $1 Ticket 2x4x10 & Superfecta $1 ticket 2x4x10x5 paid $2560.30. At Woodbine those holding winning tickets got shafted because the Trifecta paid $421.80 and the Superfecta paid $2472.80. These calculations factor in that Woodbine is charging another 6% to cash tickets on Trifectas and another 3.5% to cash Tickets on Superfectas on top of the original take-out. This is outright fraud and bettors should be made aware to avoid betting on this Canadian site.
This comment has been deleted
Jeranimo can be a bit mercurial, but it's been a long time since he's run a bad race. Except for his BC Mile efforts, he is always at least 4th. And on 6 occassions he's been good enough to win a graded stakes, and he finally got his grade 1 last year. And with Slim Shadey not running well, this field represented big class relief for Jeranimo coming from the Citation when he faced the elite Data Link, and gr.1 runners Doubles Partner, and stablemate Ultimate Eagle. Before that was the BC Mile and before that the Del Mar Mile against Obviously and Mr. Commons. No such horses to face today.
How many different ways can you say GRRRrrranimo!
Leparoux. One of the worst rides of his life. Better luck next time buddy.
When he runs his race, he's tough. Good job sir.

In December 2009 I bought an iPhone 3GS from the Orange website for £440. All was well until February this year – 14 months later – when I plugged the iPhone in to my Apple computer and a message invited me to update my iTunes. I did, but my phone immediately froze and has not worked since.
I was advised to take it to the Apple store in Southampton where staff concluded it had a faulty flashdrive and it could not be repaired. The assistant said it was just "unlucky", that it was not my fault and that I should contact the retailer or pay a further £139 for a new handset. He could not replace it because the one-year warranty had expired.
I wrote to Orange customer services asking for a replacement iPhone and quoting the Sales of Goods Act 1979, which states that the item should last a reasonable amount of time. However, Orange wrote back saying that both Apple and Orange had fulfilled their obligations under the act. Orange has refused my repeated requests to help me. Had I updated iTunes within the one-year warranty period, I would have been entitled to a replacement, I assume.
Can you please suggest what I can do next? I was only 15 when I bought the phone and £440 represents many hours of paper round, birthday and Christmas money. MCF, Bournemouth
We find it staggering the misinformation retailers tell customers to avoid helping them when items cease to work just after the guarantee expires. Letters sent to you by Orange – seen by us – suggest Orange thinks its obligation to its customers ends after six months, which is simply wrong. The Sale of Goods Act makes retailers responsible for the items they sell for up to six years in England and Wales. Quite why Orange employs staff in its (senior) executive office that spout this nonsense is beyond us.
We think most reasonable people would expect a £440 iPhone to last longer than 14 months, and pointed this out to Orange. After lengthy negotiations it has now agreed and has sent you a cheque for £139 that Apple will charge to replace the handset.
A spokeswoman says: "Thank you for bringing this case to our attention. We always look to provide the best level of customer service we can and are investigating the circumstances surrounding this case.
"Orange is committed to compliance with all of its statutory obligations, including those contained within the Sales of Goods Act. In the event we sell a device which transpires to contain an inherent fault, we will work to ensure that the issue is fully resolved for the customer as soon as reasonably possible.
"We can confirm we have since been in touch with MCF to help resolve the handset issue and to apologise for the experience that was received."
We welcome letters but cannot answer individually. Email us at email@example.com or write to Brignall & King, Money, the Guardian, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU. Please include a daytime phone number

Rafael Nadal may have enjoyed one of the best comebacks in the history of tennis but question marks still remain over how long his fragile body can withstand the punishment of the tour. His more aggressive baseline play has helped him reduce the strain on his joints but it remains to be seen whether his knee will hold out enough for him to overtake Roger Federer's tally of 17 Grand Slam titles.
After missing seven months of the 2012 season, one might have expected Nadal to slim down his schedule this year and focus largely on the Masters tournaments and the Grand Slams, but that has not been the case. There was initially talk of him boycotting some of the hard-court Masters events but his team have revealed that there were never any plans of that sort.
Having such a serious injury seems to have made Nadal yet more determined to rack up as much silverware as possible during his time left on the tour. His immediate goals will be to win the World Tour Finals for the first time (one of the few major crowns he's yet to win) and claim his second Australian Open title (the only Grand Slam which he's only won once).
Nadal has revealed that he will begin his 2014 season in Abu Dhabi with the lucrative Mubadala World Championships exhibition tournament which he's won in the past.
"I've been working hard all season and to have won two Grand Slams this year is an amazing feeling. I'm playing good tennis and I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season will bring," he said.
"After the disappointment of last year, I promised my fans in the UAE I would return, so I'm very happy it's happening so soon and I'm back in the player line-up. This will be my fifth time playing in Abu Dhabi and I'm looking forward to getting back on court there later this year. It's a great opportunity to test myself, especially just before the start of the new season."
"I'm sure I'll face some tough competition but I'm hoping to take the title for a third time and play some great tennis for the Abu Dhabi fans in the process. The atmosphere is always fantastic and will be counting on the crowd's support to help me win again this year."
