Postmedia to Acquire Sun Media's English Language Newspapers and Digital Properties
October 6, 2014 (TORONTO) – Postmedia Network Canada Corp. ("Postmedia" or the "Company") today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Quebecor Media Inc. ("QMI") to purchase Sun Media Corporation's stable of 175 English language newspapers, specialty publications and digital properties ("Sun Media"), including the Sun chain of dailies, consisting of The Toronto Sun, The Ottawa Sun, The Winnipeg Sun, The Calgary Sun and The Edmonton Sun, as well as The London Free Press and the free 24 Hours dailies in Toronto and Vancouver. The purchase price is $316 million in cash less a $10 million adjustment related primarily to real estate properties to be disposed of by Sun Media prior to closing, and other customary price adjustments to be determined subsequent to closing. The transaction also includes the acquisition of associated English language digital properties, including the Canoe portal outside of Quebec, as well as QMI's Islington printing plant in Ontario, and 34 owned real estate properties in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba.
Investor and Analyst Conference Call – Slide Presentation
"This investment by Postmedia is a strong endorsement of the future of the Canadian newspaper industry and made-in-Canada journalism," said Rod Phillips, Chair of the Board. "We are excited to be the custodians of many of Canada's best known and trusted media brands, now and in the future."
In calendar year 2013, the Sun Media properties generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of approximately $90 million on Adjusted Revenue1 of $508 million. For the last 12 months ending June 30, 2014 the Sun Media properties generated Adjusted Revenue1 and Adjusted EBITDA1 of approximately $487 million and $87 million, respectively. In addition, the Company anticipates annualized cost synergies in the range of $6 to $10 million. The additional free cash flow will improve the financial strength of the Company and allow it to accelerate its deleveraging efforts.
"This acquisition brings together an impressive stable of brands that collectively create a stronger Canadian media platform that is better positioned to compete against foreign-based digital offerings and offers a greater range of choices to our readers," said Paul Godfrey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Postmedia. "We intend to continue to operate the Sun Media major market dailies and their digital properties side by side with our existing properties in markets with multiple brands as we have in Vancouver with the Province and the Vancouver Sun for more than 30 years. Our advertisers will have the opportunity to reach audiences across the country with a made-in-Canada option for their marketing programs."
The acquisition of the Sun Media properties is expected to:
Significantly Enhance Cash Flow Profile and Pro Forma Leverage
Adjusted EBITDA1 on a pro forma combined2 basis of approximately $204 million (excluding synergies) will improve Postmedia's financial strength and free cash flow
Reduces net debt/Adjusted EBITDA1at May 31, 2014 from 3.8x to a pro forma combined2 ratio of 2.9x
Generate Synergy Potential
Anticipated cost synergies in the range of $6 to $10 million per annum within two years
Extended digital reach in order to compete more effectively with larger competitors
Increase Owned Real Estate
Transaction includes real estate portfolio with more than one million square feet of space and estimated value in the range of $50 to $60 million
Potential sales of Sun Media properties subsequent to closing provides additional opportunities to accelerate debt reduction
The agreement has been approved by both companies' Boards of Directors and is subject to customary regulatory approvals, including from the Competition Bureau. During the regulatory review period, QMI will continue to operate the Sun Media properties.
Postmedia will finance the acquisition through a combination of debt and equity.
The debt financing will be provided through the issuance of an additional $140 million of its currently outstanding 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "Notes"). An existing Noteholder, who owns more than 50% of the currently outstanding Notes, has entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which it has agreed to purchase subscription receipts representing the entire amount of the additional Notes. The subscription receipts will bear interest at the same rate as the Notes and will automatically be exchanged for the additional Notes on completion of the acquisition, for no additional consideration. Closing of the subscription receipt offering is expected to occur in late October, following the completion of a formal consent solicitation to approve, amongst other things, amendments to the existing Note indenture required to facilitate the incremental funding of the additional Notes. The amendments must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Notes, but with the subscriber for the new Notes holding a majority of the Notes and agreeing to approve the amendments, this approval is assured.
Postmedia intends to raise the balance of the funds required for the acquisition by way of a rights offering of subscription receipts (the "Rights Offering") for gross proceeds of $186 million less net proceeds from real estate sales of up to $50 million, to the extent available, prior to the launch of the Rights Offering. Postmedia has entered into a standby purchase agreement with its largest shareholder, GoldenTree Asset Management LP ("GoldenTree")pursuant to which GoldenTree has agreed to take up any subscription receipts not otherwise subscribed for under the Rights Offering. In connection with its backstop of the rights offering, GoldenTree will enter into a voting restriction agreement with Postmedia that will limit the number of votes that GoldenTree will be entitled to cast at any meeting of Postmedia's shareholders to 33 1/3%, less one share, of the total number of outstanding voting rights in respect of all of the issued and outstanding shares at such time, regardless of how many shares GoldenTree owns at such time.
The Rights Offering will be subject to regulatory approval. Further details regarding the Rights Offering will be provided in the prospectus that Postmedia will file in Canada in connection with the distribution of the rights.
Under the terms of the Rights Offering, shareholders of Postmedia as of a record date, which is yet to be determined, will receive rights to subscribe for subscription receipts of Postmedia. Each subscription receipt will be automatically exchanged for one Postmedia variable voting share on completion of the acquisition, without additional consideration. The subscription price under the rights offering will be not more than $1.10 per subscription receipt. Postmedia will apply to list the rights, the subscription receipts and the variable voting shares underlying the subscription receipts for trading on the TSX. The rights will be exercisable for at least 21 days following the date of mailing of the final prospectus. It is currently anticipated that the Rights Offering will be launched in January, 2015.
Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as M&A advisor to Postmedia; Scotiabank and RBC Capital Markets are acting as financial advisors and joint book-runners on the placement of the additional Notes. Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Scotiabank are acting as advisors on the Rights Offering. Goodmans LLP and Hicks Morley LLP are counsel to Postmedia; PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provided financial due diligence and tax advice during the due diligence process.

How Does Multichannel Marketing Change Your Content Strategy?
Though multichannel marketing has been around for a while, that doesn't mean it's become any easier to figure out. Adding digital and mobile environments—website, blogs, display ads, emails, SMS messages, and social media—to traditional channels, like print media and television, means considerable work for marketers. However, that work pays off as multichannel marketing offers opportunities to reach a wider audience of prospects and future customers.
Yet, even within the channels, there are further channels that might require a specific tactic within your content marketing plan. For example, social media has Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and YouTube, and more. Each comes with a specific audience and interest focus, as well as differing ways to present your content.
Multichannel content planning means deciding which channels and platforms you want to focus your content marketing efforts on and then determining how this impacts your overall content strategy.
Here's what may change in your content strategy when you migrate to a multichannel marketing effort.
Deep segmentation
Although your audience may be defined, smart brands strive to better understand which audience members frequent which channel, when, and why they prefer those channels over others. With individual motivations for buying products or services and a desire for personalized approaches, smart content addresses these differences in a way that a singular channel content strategy can't do.
Define customer personas that describe the audience members that you uncover on each channel.
Content length
While you previously created both short- and long-form content, the length of your future content becomes even more varied with a multichannel marketing program. In fact, your content could be as short as 200 characters or as long as 10,000 words—maybe even longer! Each channel has its own content quantity requirements.
Spend time studying each channel to understand how to craft content length to engage with that audience.
Type of content used
Campaigning across channels also involves moving beyond just the written word. Although you may be using images in your campaigns, some channels require visual content that goes beyond images, such as video content. Or, you may discover the benefits of creating infographics, webinars, and even memes.
Look at what content your competition gets the most likes and shares, so you begin to understand what type of content gets the most engagement for each channel you choose.
Where to focus
With so many channels and content possibilities, it can be difficult to know how to develop a strategy that covers the most relevant channels for your audience and marketing objectives. Some channels are a must, such as owned-content properties like a website and blog. Not only do these channels help boost your SEO tactics, but they also create a location to funnel your leads.
Email marketing is another channel that can yield results and provide an ongoing stream of data insights. Social media is also important, but may vary from business to business, depending on what you offer and where your audience spends their time. For example, not every business will need to be on TikTok or SnapChat while others may choose to avoid Facebook or Pinterest.
Since your content becomes more complex with a multichannel marketing approach, consider turning to tools that can help you map out what is necessary for each channel.
One of the best tools for this is a content calendar. It helps to organize the type of content, publication date, channel, writers, and influencers involved. Tabs can also be set up related to seasonal and evergreen content, as well as how and when repurposing existing content is possible.
Anything that automates the process of delivering this varied content across all the channels and at the optimum time is helpful. This means using a content scheduler and publisher, as well as tools that trigger content based on an audience member's action. For example, if a prospect signs up for an offer on your website, an email welcoming them will automatically get sent.
Most importantly, consider tools that monitor, review, and improve your content strategy. It will take time to understand how to deliver the most effective content to each channel. Analytical tools will help gauge click-through rates, engagement, and conversions, and can guide how to update your content length, subject matter, format, and timing as you go.

Listeria Investigation Continues In Hard-Boiled Egg Recall
January 16, 2020 • By Amanda McCorquodale
The CDC, FDA, and public health and regulatory officials in Florida, Maine, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas are investigating a multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to hard-boiled eggs after seven people were confirmed to be infected with the human pathogen.
The illnesses, which have resulted in one death and four hospitalizations to date, were traced to Almark Foods' facility in Gainesville, Ga. During a routine inspection in February, FDA collected two swabs from the facility's peeling room that identified the presence of Listeria. The pathogen was then found to be genetically identical to two cases of human illness dating back to 2017 via whole genome sequencing and information collected in the PulseNet system, the national molecular subtyping network of public health and food regulatory agency labs coordinated by the CDC that identifies possible outbreaks.
Almark Foods is not currently manufacturing hard-boiled eggs at its Gainesville facility, according to FDA spokesperson Corrine Newhart, and the investigation continues to pinpoint possible products that may contain eggs from the facility. Several of those sickened reported eating hard-boiled eggs in deli salads purchased from grocery stores and in salads eaten at restaurants, according to the CDC. Last week, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) expanded the recall of products to include ready-to-eat packages of hardboiled eggs, cheese, and meat to an already long list of retail, pillow pack, pouch pack, frozen diced, and protein kit products.
"Almark Foods has conducted recalls of their consumer and bulk product and additional recalls have been conducted for downstream products containing recalled eggs," says Newhart, citing more than 30 brands that may contain products with contaminated eggs. "Retailers should no longer be selling recalled product. However, recalled products from Almark Foods have 'best if used by' dates through March 2, 2020. A full list of recalls associated with this outbreak is available on our website."
Every year, approximately 1,600 are infected with listeriosis, resulting in around 260 deaths, according to CDC estimates. Those most at risk are pregnant women and their newborns, adults aged 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems.

Cloud Computing Maximizes Usefulness of Food Safety System Data
All too frequently, a story appears about tainted food that has traveled through the supply chain undetected until it causes illness and triggers a costly recall. This scenario not only puts the health of the consumer at risk but is also invariably expensive and can destroy a company's reputation.

In the early 1920s, Hollywood was booming. The adolescent film business had blossomed from a small by-the-seat-of-the pants mom and pop operation into a major industry backed by Wall Street, which was turning the large companies into international conglomerates. At the same time, major stars saw their compensation explode, especially if they owned their own production companies and received profit participation. Superstars like Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin and executives like Joseph Schenck and Thomas Ince earned more in yearly salaries than important financial, professional, and business leaders.
To acknowledge their place in the Hollywood pantheon, many of the industry's leaders constructed elaborate mansions and showplaces outshining even that of actual royalty. Pickford and Fairbanks reigned at Pickfair, Lloyd built the magnificent Greenacres, and Frances Marion and Fred Thomson established their Enchanted Hill. Producer Thomas Ince followed along, constructing his own impressive hacienda, one that hearkened back to the glorious early days of California called "Dias Dorados."….
Born Nov. 16, 1880, to actor parents, young Tom Ince was virtually born in a trunk, traveling on the road with his parents and brothers across the country when not left with friends of their parents. At a young age, Ince joined his parents in vaudeville and gradually worked his way up to starring in stock companies. He first played on Broadway at the age of 22 in "At the Old Crossroads." Like any other actor when the season closed, Ince performed a variety of odd jobs while hoping to get his big break.
Looking for work in 1910, Ince stumbled upon old friend Joseph Smiley, who informed him that he was working as an assistant director for a small film company known as the Independent Motion Picture Company (IMP). Ince landed a job as a stock actor before performing in one Biograph film, "His New Lid," which helped him land not only a raise with IMP when he returned, but also the opportunity to direct.
The innovative executive would help create the assembly line creation of film product and establish the name "Thomas Ince" as a brand signifying quality in film production during his time with Triangle. An industry leader after only eight years in the business, Ince soon established a state-of-the-art studio in Culver City in 1918.
By 1921, the overworked but ambitious Ince finally took action on creating the home of his dreams, one highlighting the romantic Spanish history of California with the name "Dias Dorados" or "Golden Days." Taves describes how in 1921 the successful producer purchased an over thirty acre site off Benedict Canyon in Beverly Hills at $2,500 an acre to build his palatial mansion, one of the first, along with Harold Lloyd and James Kirkwood's homes, to go up in the Beverly Park development. It would cost $250,000 to construct, and be located at 1051 Benedict Canyon Road, off of Angelo Drive.
Entering the 35-room dwelling through an arcade and large wooden door, guests entered a huge hall, with a floor plan resembling a letter H with wings at each end and a generous exterior patio. Filled with authentic period furnishings, oak floors, timbered ceilings, and eleven fireplaces, the home featured library, 19 feet by 28 feet dining room, 20 feet by 45 feet living room with pipe organ, billiard room, play room, breakfast room, multiple bedrooms, servants' quarters, kitchen, and elaborate projection room. Staircases inside and out led to hidden rooms. The master bedroom wing included sunken bath, steam and electric Turkish bathroom.
Visitors descended a dark narrow passageway illuminated by pressing a button at the entrance, leading to an elaborate projection room resembling a pirate ship galleon. Red and green lanterns suspended from the ceiling provided illumination as one entered with a giant stained glass figure of a ferocious pirate with a knife in his mouth in the background. Ladders, rigging, wheel, sails, and caulked floors all mimicked that of a ship 30 feet long by 8 feet wide. Pulling a cord near the pirate unrolled a white canvas screen in front of it.
One entered the billiard room through a "secret staircase" hidden behind a tapestry that opened by pressing a button, with a winding staircase leading down to the oval billiard room, all composed of native rock. Another room contained framed autographs of famous people like Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Franklin, Edgar Allan Poe, Marie Antoinette, and Mark Twain on the walls.
Price had hired 40-50 Mexican laborers to create authentic tile, sculpture, carvings, paintings, and furniture demonstrating Spanish craftsmanship. Tiles were painted by hand in colorful Spanish design and employed as flower boxes, facing of the risers of the hall stairs, baseboards, kitchen sink, and in bathrooms. Wrought iron torcheres, wall sconces, and plaques added period touches, as did antique rugs and stained glass windows representing California history lined the library.
Sunset stated, "While grilled balconies, tiled roofs and the patio are characteristic of Old Spain, the modifications practised by necessity in colonial Mexico and "Alta California" make the architecture of the New World even more picturesque. Blending the subtle influences of centuries of art with the force of the pioneer, the architect has here emphasized age in finish, simplicity of line and decorative details… .
The exterior and grounds designed by Edward Huntsman-Trout were just as elaborate, containing fountains, bowling green, tennis courts, garage, stables, barn, working smithy, caretaker's house, kennels, duck pond, pigeon tower, chicken ranch, orange grove, avocado orchard, walnut trees, and rose garden. What appeared to be a swimming pool was in reality a pond with actual sandy ocean beach. At one end were private dressing rooms while the other featured the beach with shaded chairs, palms, and gym equipment.
Unfortunately the mighty producer had little time to enjoy the house himself, passing away from heart and intestinal problems on November 19, 1924. His widow Elinor and children continued living in the house through 1926, after probate was settled on the almost $850,000 Ince estate, with the home valued at almost $250,000.
Missing her husband and feeling lost in the massive estate, Mrs. Ince put it up for sale after purchasing the smaller Corinne Griffith estate nearby. Universal chief Carl Laemmle purchased the house and land for $650,000, with $250,000 in cash and the rest notes, taking possession of the home and the entire furnishings February 22, 1927. Moving from his long time home in New York, Laemmle renamed the estate "Casa Grand Del Monte" and moved in with his adult children Carl Jr. and Rosabelle. Rosabelle married business Stanley Bergeron in the gardens February 2, 1929.
The April 23, 1943 Jewish Post reported that the family allowed the home to serve as a rest home for wounded soldiers after they moved out. Closed for several years after the war, the family reopened it in September 1949 for a fundraiser for the Organization of Rehabilitation Through Training.
It took years for the estate to sell off the property. The city of Beverly Hills purchased 9.5 acres in 1951 to establish a school, and finally in 1955 the remaining land was sold to investor Sadie Gildred. Eventually the home and outbuildings were demolished and the land subdivided for new mansions.
While the resplendent hacienda is no more, it served as a glorious example of the rise of Alta California and the glory of early Hollywood.

Fascinating, Mary, thank you. I had heard that Harold Lloyd purchased several acres from Ince's widow to bring his estate to about 16 acres, but not certain of the facts. A structure–sort of a tower–stood just beyond the southern end of Lloyd's property in the 1960's-70's, and I was told (alternately) that it was on the Ince/Laemmle estate. I have photos of it.


Download our FREE guide to every coffee product we absolutely love. Just enter your email address to download the guide today!
Here at Roasty, we believe that travel is no excuse to deprive yourself of great coffee. Roam if you want to, but a few key items that fit easily into a suitcase can make the difference between coffee and whatever that stuff at the motel is.
No time or equipment for precise temperature measurements here, so just boil it, or run it through a standard hotel coffee maker.
Grind the beans (A fine grind setting is best for an AeroPress) so you have enough for 2 tablespoons of coffee or about 30 grams. To make things simple, I just fill my 24-gram grinder, which makes a perfect amount for a 20 oz tumbler.
Put a paper filter in the drain cap and rinse it with hot water. Then put the cap on the AeroPress and place it over your cup (it needs to be a sturdy one, hence my preference for the Yeti).
When the water's ready, put the coffee in the AeroPress, pour the water over, and give it a quick stir.
Wait 30 seconds and then slowly plunge with only the weight of your hand.
Tip: For milder Americano-style coffee, add more water. Otherwise, you'll have a nice stiff brew.
For the extra-light traveler, you can dispense with the burr grinder and simply bring along pre-ground coffee. However, ground beans lose flavor with every passing hour (let alone day) of travel. If you go this route, be sure to carry your grounds in an airtight container to preserve them as well as possible.
As you can see, we find the AeroPress system to be the best bet for travel. It's light and compact, and it strikes a good balance between convenience and quality.

Indian actor Shahrukh Khan is known as the "King of Bollywood", but soon the superstar will be playing the king of the jungle, as he has landed the role of a lifetime. He will lend his voice for Disney's #TheLionKing remake, dubbed in Hindi.
Khan will be playing the role of Mufasa in the film, leaving us with the question: Who will be playing the role of Simba?
Social media users were pleased to know that the iconic father-son duo, would be played by an "equally iconic" real-life father and son duo. Aryan Khan, Shah Rukh Khan's eldest son, will be filling in Simba's shoes, or should we say, paws!
The 53-year-old actor shared posters of the movie on Twitter (@iamsrk) and Facebook with a sweet message: "Glad to be a part of this journey… a timeless film. Voicing it in Hindi with my own Simba. The last time we did a film was around 15 years ago and it was 'Incredible' and this time around it's even more fun. Hope everyone enjoys it July 19 onwards. #TheLionKing."
Aryan Khan has not made his Bollywood debut yet, he has previously voiced the character Dash, in the Hindi version of Disney's The Incredibles with his father.
On Twitter, Khan's post was retweeted nearly 4,000 times and had 20,000 likes in just four hours.
Glad to be a part of this journey… a timeless film. Voicing it in Hindi with my own Simba. The last time we did a film was around 15 years ago and it was 'Incredible' and this time around its even more fun. Hope everyone enjoys it 19th July onwards. #TheLionKing https://t.co/rJEfxevA9k

Seattle places Benoit on DL, recalls Guaipe from Triple-A
SEATTLE (AP) The Seattle Mariners have placed right-handed reliever Joaquin Benoit on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his right shoulder.
Seattle made the roster move Monday before opening a three-game series against Houston, retroactive to April 22. The Mariners recalled right-hander Mayckol Guaipe from Triple-A Tacoma to take Benoit's roster spot.
Benoit has been Seattle's main reliever in the eighth inning this season, but was unavailable for a couple of games earlier this month due to the shoulder. Benoit has appeared in five games this season and given up two earned runs in his five innings pitched. Seattle manager Scott Servais said he expects to be without Benoit for two or three weeks.
Guaipe made his major league debut with Seattle last season. He had three saves in six games this season with Tacoma.

Mesut Ozil: Arsenal midfielder wishes he could help during frustrating period – Sky Sports
Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil says he wishes he could help the club during their current struggles.
Ozil has not played for Mikel Arteta's side since March 7 and was not included in the Arsenal's squads for the Premier League or Europa League.
The Gunners crashed out of the Carabao Cup 4-1 to Manchester City on Tuesday as Arteta's side slipped to a sixth defeat in 11 in all competitions.
Arteta has shown little inclination to change his mind over the former Germany international, but Ozil, who has insisted he has no plans to leave the club until his contract expires, says he continues to hope he will get a chance to help his struggling team-mates.
He posted on Twitter: "It's a very difficult time for everyone around the club – not just for me. The situation is frustrating for everyone.

"Of course I would wish I could help the team especially right now, but as long as I don't get the chance I just hope that we get better results very soon again.
"But let's stay positive."
Ozil also picked out Arsenal's Matteo Guendouzi, currently on loan at Hertha Berlin, when asked who is the most underrated player he has played with.
"Matteo Guendouzi – I'm sure he will be a big football player one day!" he replied.
Redknapp: Arsenal full of kidders
Jamie Redknapp has labelled Arsenal "a team full of kidders" in a withering denouncement of the Gunners' current first-team squad.
Following a dramatic slump in form, Arsenal have staggered to within four points of the relegation zone and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night after the chastening defeat to City.

But Redknapp dismissed suggestions that Mikel Arteta's job should be on the line as he expressed his scorn for the players at Arteta's disposal.
"Of course you could go and sack the manager, but the bigger problem is that there's a group of players there and there's only three or four that if you were the manager coming in, you'd say I could trust those players," said Redknapp.
"That will be the problem with this team. Too many of them, no matter what you do, will let you down. It's a team full of kidders right now and I feel sorry for the young players. Arsenal have got to stick with the manager and give him time to get out a lot of the players that aren't good enough.
"I keep hearing about dressing-room unrest and someone in the dressing room that's giving information. If you've got that, you've got major problems.
"You've got no chance. You've got to get rid of those players as quickly as possible and it is not easy to do. If you get rid of the manager, who comes in? Who's out there?"

Patients are often amazed that we can locate, just by feeling, the painful spot. Trigger points are highly irritable spots in muscle bands that provoke painful responses and are characterized by heightened soreness in the patient and a noticeable hardness to the doctor or therapist. Trigger points are not just sensitive nodules, but they affect the surrounding muscle and tissues.
A form of soft tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, first originated by Dr. Janet Travell who treated President John F. Kennedy for his back pain, is founded on the theory that pain in a certain part of the body can actually be brought about by an injury or dysfunction somewhere else. chiropractic treatment of the spinal nerve injuries and dysfunctions is complementary.
Trigger points are spots of tenderness in a muscle. Trigger point therapy involves the application of pressure to these painful, tender spots in order to relieve their pain and dysfunction as well as pain in other parts of the body. Sometimes massage and trigger point therapy are used together. Theoretically, active trigger points bring about muscle pain which passes pain and tenderness to other parts of the body when pressed. Latent trigger points are those that don't have pain unless pressed, but they are thought to cause joint stiffness and reduced ranges of motion as we get older.
By incorporating trigger point therapy, the doctor or therapist presses on these painful points to relax the muscle and tissues affected. Even as the applied pressure on a trigger point might cause your soreness to become more apparent, it has the strange effect of feeling good at the same time. You will find that trigger point therapy in combination with your chiropractic Cox Technic treatment goes far to move you toward pain relief.
Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology offers trigger point therapy to maximize your healing. Ask Atiyeh Chiropractic and Functional Neurology for more information.

American Car Myths: BUSTED (Part 2)
Last week we attacked some of the most popular myths about American cars and totally BUSTED them. We rounded up the 10 most widely believed myths about American-made cars that car buyers still believe and present the evidence that proves they're all talk. This week, we have the second half of our car myths ready for busting! Adam and Jamie would be proud. Myth 6: All three companies would have gone under completely without Government aid—This may have been so in the case of Chrysler and GM (and even they paid off their aid in record time) but Ford took no Government aid, borrowing instead against everything the company owned - including its own logo. This paid off and now Ford is running a huge profit on its own and paying off its debts. Myth 7: Quality may have improved but none of the Big Three are True Innovators—No automaker has innovated new technology more than Ford with seat belt mounted airbags, the innovative Sync system and more counting towards that firm's leadership in new technology. General Motors is the first automaker among the Big Three to introduce a diesel compact car with its hugely popular Chevy Cruze and Chrysler has become a leader in interior quality. Add to that OnStar and the fact that Ford pretty much invented the car as we know it and innovation is absolutely something American cars have. Myth 8: GM, Ford and Chrysler are only cars people from the Midwest buy—This used to be the case but Ford especially is seeing its cars make huge inroads into the once import-heavy California market. And since General Motors and Chrysler both have begun to market their cars more than their trucks they too have seen their sales skyrocket on the coasts. The Chevy Volt is also huge in dense California cities, thanks to its affordability and incredible range. Myth 9: The majority of vehicles that the Big Three sell are SUVs, Crossovers and Pick-ups—For the first time in history General Motors now sells more cars than it does pick-up trucks and SUVs. This trend was started by the Chevy Cruze, which has sold over two million copies since it went on sale. All three are seeing more growth than foreign brands in all car types. Myth 10: The Big Three Don't Even Build Many of their vehicles in the United States—Sure, the Big Three do have quite a few manufacturing sites in Canada and Mexico but that doesn't mean most of their parts aren't sourced from the United States. Also, all of the Big Three's headquarters are located in the United States. Check out our break-down of what it means to buy American for more clarification. BONUS Myth 11: Resale Values for the Big Three always lag behind the competition—As quality improves and styling has become more of a vital aspect of Big Three car design residual values have soared. Big Three residuals also are higher than those of South Korean competitors who rely too heavily on their ten year/100,000 mile warranty, which is only applicable to the first owner. Clearly, there are a lot of myths out there about American cars, and too many buyers are selling themselves short when it comes to their purchasing decisions. At Convoy Auto Repair, we take care of cars from all makes, but we also want our customers to know they have plenty of options. Image courtesy of Soublet Photography
