...members of Radiohead-five prosperous, educated and reasonable men whose major-label contract with EMI expired in 2003-decided that the process could be streamlined. So last week guitarist Jonny Greenwood announced on the band's official blog that a new album, In Rainbows, would be available on Oct. 10 only at Radiohead.com. With a few words, the labels and middlemen were cut out of one of the most anticipated releases of the year...
...Sure enough, Radiohead.com was loading so slowly early last week that Greenwood posted an apology for the "gear-grinding."

Carl also turned Viking into a redevelopment project for his hometown. Since 1989, every Viking has been made in Greenwood at the cavernous 230,000-sq.-ft. (21,700 sq m) facility near downtown.

Viking makes 24 in.-to -60 in. (60 cm to 150 cm) gas ranges with 17 different configurations in 14 different finishes, including stainless steel, cobalt blue and mint julep. Just...
...Toyota have built plants in the American South, appliance makers are increasingly moving production to Mexico and elsewhere. But Carl is banking on the premium his brand can command to provide some cover. "We want an American-made product, and I am 110% committed to keeping Viking manufacturing in Greenwood," he says. "This town is special to me. We grew up here; our family is here. Staying here is a way for us to have fun, make money and help the community along...
