...There's friction in the doll community. Number 1 (Christopher Plummer) is a cautious, shriveled type, who rules the gang from atop a throne in the remains of a former church and prefers to hide from the mechanical beasts. Given that the dolls are about eight inches tall and the mechanical beasts appear to be the size of dinosaurs or giant arachnids, this seems rational enough. The dolls have no needs (not for air, food or fuel, although they find an occasional lightbulb useful) and neither do the machines, so you'd think everyone could go to their respective corners...
...worst recession in decades, as many as a dozen of the NFL's 32 markets, including Arizona, Cincinnati, Detroit, Jacksonville, Minnesota and San Diego, are in danger of having their local telecasts blacked out. A Jacksonville Jaguars official says it's "very possible" that none of the team's eight home games will be broadcast in the hard-hit region (by comparison, only nine of the NFL's 256 regular-season games last year were blacked out).

Doss went on to pursue solo projects under the moniker The Sunshine Fix, while Hart and the remaining members of OTC reformed as Circulatory System, and released their self-titled debut in 2001.That was eight years ago, and until relatively recently, news from the Circulatory System camp, with the exceptions of a few Athens shows and a brief OTC reunion tour, was frustratingly rare. Around 2005, blogs and message boards buzzed over rumors of a new album—tentatively titled “Blasting Through?...
...Suppiah was referring to the eight-year-long court battle waged against his family's restaurant by McDonald's - a classic David-and-Goliath scenario that ended this week in defeat for the U.S. corporation. Malaysia's highest court ruled on Tuesday that McDonald's proprietary claim over the prefix Mc did not apply to McCurry because it sells only Indian food that has no connection with the American-style fast food that McDonald's sells in its 137 outlets throughout the country. For the past eight years, the Suppiahs have maintained that their restaurant's Mc prefix...
