DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) posted a narrower-than-expected quarterly loss on Thursday and said it was nearing a deal to spin off British luxury brands Jaguar and Land Rover.

Shares of Ford rose almost 5 percent in pre-market trading.

Ford said it expects to conclude a deal to sell Jaguar and Land Rover by early next year. By contrast, it said it would focus on improving results at its Swedish Volvo unit and start detailing the brand’s financial performance next year.

Ford also forecast a “substantial” year-over-year improvement in fourth-quarter results compared with last year’s pre-tax loss of $3.15 billion.

The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker posted a third-quarter net loss of $380 million, or 19 cents per share, compared with a loss of $5.2 billion, or $2.79 a share, a year earlier.

Ford’s loss from continuing operations, excluding one-time items, was 1 cent per share. On that basis, the average Wall Street forecast was a loss of 48 cents per share, according to Reuters Estimates.

Ford said it cut 6,800 jobs in North America during the quarter.

LOS ANGELES (Nov. - As the writers strike entered its third day Wednesday with no end in sight, Fox said it would not air “24″ this season.

The seventh season of the hit real-time series was scheduled to begin in January, but producers had completed only about one-third of its 24-episode order as of last week.

“24″ started production late, and was affected by the recent wildfires. The show’s star, Kiefer Sutherland, is also scheduled to do a stint in jail later this year in connection with a drunk-driving conviction.

The high-profile new drama “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” originally slated to run in tandem with “24,” will now premiere on Sunday, Jan. 13, and will air in “24’s” Monday 9 p.m. slot, following “Prison Break” and the reality series “When Women Ruled the World.”

“Women,” about educated and independent women ruling over a group of unsuspecting men, is one of two reality series Fox is planning to launch midseason, along with “The Moment of Truth,” a show featuring people being administered a lie detector test to be hosted by Mark L. Walberg.

With “House” running out of original episodes, “Hell’s Kitchen” will land the plum post-”American Idol” Tuesday 9 p.m. slot beginning April 1.

Fox’s midseason schedule also includes new scripted series “The Return of Jezebel James,” “Unhitched,” “New Amsterdam” and “Canterbury’s Law.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “I’ll be back” is the movie line we use the most, according to a new survey.

Arnie uttered the immortal words in The Terminator.

Rhett Butler’s closing line in Gone With The Wind - “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” - is second.

“Beam me up, Scotty” from Star Trek is third - even though it was never actually said in any episode of the TV series.

The survey of over 2,000 people was carried out by website myfilms.com, a personalised film and cinema finder from the UK Film Council.

It asked which famous phrases we borrow from films to use in everyday conversation.

Star Wars line “May the force be with you” was fourth, followed by Forrest Gump’s “Life is like a box of chocolates”.

The poll also included famous lines from Taxi Driver, Jerry Maguire, Dirty Harry, Casablanca and Dirty Dancing. All 10 most memorable lines were spoken by men.

Elsewhere in the survey, women named Dirty Dancing as the film they would most like to have starred in, followed by Pretty Woman and Gone With The Wind.

Men opted for the Bond films, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

A shot that robs smokers of the nicotine buzz from cigarettes showed promise in midstage testing and may someday offer a radically new way to kick a dangerous habit.

In a study, more than twice as many people given five of the shots stopped smoking than those given fewer or phony shots - about 15 percent versus 6 percent after one year.

That is comparable to some other smoking cessation aids currently sold and could be an important new tool for people who have failed to quit on other methods, doctors said.

The results, presented Wednesday at an American Heart Association conference, do not prove the new approach works but encouraged some experts.

“It clearly shows promise” and merits a definitive study, said Dr. Frank Vocci, director of medications development at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which has given $8 million for the research so far.

“There’s merit in it,” but it won’t be available tomorrow, said the lead researcher, Dr. Stephen Rennard of the University of Nebraska.

The study tested NicVAX, a vaccine designed to “immunize” smokers against the rush fueling their addiction. It’s made by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals of Boca Raton, Fla.

The treatment keeps nicotine from reaching the brain, taking the fun out of smoking and hopefully making it easier to give up. Some nicotine still gets in, possibly easing withdrawal, the main reason quitters relapse.

Update: ABS-CBN announced that there are 20 possible names in the list of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Celebrity Edition 2 Housemates. This list is not yet final. Additional celebrities were added in the list such as Mahal and Andrew Wolff. 

International stars just keep on coming in!

RnB Singer Beyonce Knowles will be in Manila, Philippines for her concert on November 7, 2007 at the Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

Ticket Prices are P5665, P2575, P1030(limited) and P618 (all prices include 3% service charge). Senior citizens are entitled to 20% discount with proof of eligibility but not available in conjuction with any other promo or discount. Tickets are still available at Ticketworld. Grab your ticket now!

My favorite (to the extent of playing his songs more than 100x / day in my car) Josh Groban will have a concert at the PICC Plenary Hall in Manila, Philippines on October 17 and 18, 2007 at 8 PM.

From what I heard, tickets were already sold out a long time ago. Too bad I really wanted to go. Oh well, i’d just have to listen to him through my iTunes.

Josh Groban’s concert in Manila will only have limited seats available to the general public. The ticket prices range from P25,000 (limited), P20,000, P15,000, P10,000, P5,000 and P3,000 (limited). Also, senior citizens are entitled to a 20% discount with proof of eligibility but not available in conjunction with any other promo or discount.

Ticket prices may be costly, but considering his performance, I think it’s super worth every penny.  It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that i’m sure all the Josh Groban fans out there really wouldn’t wanna miss.

And by the way, there are two tickets being sold on Ebay for P50,000! You might wanna grab it before it’s gone. Tickets are limited. As of this minute, there’s only 1 day and hour left before the bidding closes. Bid now!

The second fight of Manny Pacquiao against Marco Antonio Barrera will be held a few hours from now. Everyone here in the Philippines is rooting for Manny Pacquiao. Well not really everyone. There are those who’re cursing him for being so f**king rich. Manny Pacquiao a few years ago was worth about $5 Million. Right now maybe double? One game and he earns how much? Millions and millions of dollars. Marco Barrera wouldn’t go empty handed either. Both Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera, win or lose, will get millions on this fight. I’m sure of that.

Here’s an article from Inquirer explaining Manny Pacquiao’s condition (him having weight issues before the fight) currently and some other score information of both Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera, which I see as hieroglyphics, given that I don’t have any background on boxing.

“LAS VEGAS–A gaunt, ghostly figure officially identified as Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines was certified ready on Friday (Saturday in Manila) for his monumental rematch with muscular Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera at the Events Center of the Mandalay Bay Hotel here.

Based on the displayed physical discrepancy, the bout would’ve been disallowed if it were to have been promptly fought after Friday’s weigh-in.

The two warriors square off Saturday for the second time in an anticipated classic made doubly suspenseful following the confirmation of a Pacquiao weight problem.

Fight time is 8 p.m. Saturday here (Sunday 11 a.m. in Manila).

“Knockout!” blurted Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach when asked for his final battle order after Friday’s dramatic weigh-in.”

NEW YORK - Verizon Wireless unveiled three new cell phones on Wednesday for the holiday season, including a high-end handset named Voyager that will compete with Apple’s iPhone.

The Voyager, made by LG Electronics, trumps the iPhone by offering faster wireless Web access. But in a nod to the Apple device, which is only available to AT&T subscribers, it has a large touch screen and full Web browser.

Verizon Wireless hopes the new phone will attract customers put off by the iPhone’s lack of a traditional keypad — the Voyager hinges open to reveal a small computer keypad and a second screen.

With so many phones today i have no idea what to want. I even am clueless of the features of these stuff. I’ve seen one of my friend with the iphone and i think it’s great given that it has a large screen and the color is so vibrant compared to the normal colored phones out there. I might try this out sometime soon but maybe ill consider first the iphone fad before going some other way.

MOSCOW — A small Russian city just got a really big addition: a 17 pound, 1 ounce baby whose mother had already delivered 11 smaller children.

Tatiana Khalina, 42, delivered the girl by Caesarean section at a maternity clinic in Aleisk, a town of 30,000 people in the Altai region in southern Siberia, a nurse at the clinic said Thursday.

Nurse Svetlana Gildeyeva also said the Sept. 17 birth went smoothly, and mother and baby — Nadezhda — were well.

The daily Moskovsky Komsomolets quoted the local social services chief, Marina Alistratova, as saying the family had modest means. She said Khalina’s husband was on contract with a local military unit.

17 pounds?? That’s like 3-4 times the normal baby weight. So what will happen to this baby as she grows up? I don’t even wanna think about it. But according the some news, such even occurs when babies are so much larger than the usual. Well I just hope she doesn’t turn out to be a heavy-weight bully. For the sake of the anorexics.

BOSSIER CITY, La. - He’ll never want breakfast again.

Pat Bertoletti, a Mohawk-sporting chef from Chicago, gulped down 21 pounds of buttery, goopy grits in 10 minutes to win $4,000 in the first World Grits Eating Championship at Louisiana Downs on Saturday.

The grits were presented in 2-pound trays, each about 8 inches by 6 inches and 1 1/2 inches deep, said Ryan Nerz, a spokesman for Major League Eating.

Bertoletti, in a statement, said the race “tested our stomach capacity like no other.”

Research is now being done for the future of Male contraception! I read this article Birth Control for Guys and here’s what i found out.

“Several promising possibilities — from a male pill to putting a cork in it — are on the horizon, based on presentations today at the second “Future of Male Contraception” conference, held in Seattle and sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, World Health Organization and others.

 They include:

• Sperm blocker: Researchers who have been developing the Intra Vas Device are expected to announce test results showing “substantial equivalence to traditional vasectomy methods” in a study of 90 men. The device — a set of removable plugs — blocks sperm in the vas deferens, the tube that’s cut in a vasectomy. Further research is needed to find whether fertility returns after the plugs are removed.
• Testosterone-like pill: A drug called “selective androgen receptor modulator,” or SARM, is being tested on humans as an osteoporosis and muscle-wasting treatment. It also shows promise as a male pill, researchers said. A similar drug taken orally reduces sperm counts in rabbits.
• Nonhormonal pill: Research shows a non-hormonal compound called CDB-4022 prevents monkey sperm from swimming to their destination. Upon stopping treatment, fertility returned completely in 16 weeks, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. But the safety of the drug still needs to be tested.”

Wow… technology’s really something huh?

Beijing, China is looking for candidates for those who would want to be the torchbearers this coming 2008 Olympics to be held in Beijing a few months from now. Apparently, only foreigners living in China are allowed to become a part of the eight Olympic Torchbearers. If you qualify and want to have a share in the position, here’s how:

How to Participate:

1. Foreigners living in China are eligible to become an Olympic torchbearer candidate by applying online at China Daily.
2. All netizens can vote for their favorite torchbearer candidate on the website. A selection committee will pick 100 candidates who will be chosen according to the number of votes they receive, as well as their experiences and qualifications.
3. The selection committee will determine the final eight Olympic torchbearers.

Japan had another earthquake earlier. It’s not fun living along the playgrounds of the volcanic something, no? Japan has this bad weather condition and they always have earthquakes. Still, i wanna go there cause i heard lots of good things about the place. Food, clothes, tourist spots… So here’s the news i got from Inquirer regarding the earthquake:

“TOKYO — A strong 7.4-magnitude quake struck off southern Japan Friday, seismologists said, but there were no immediate reports of major damage nor casualties.

The quake occurred at 11:38 pm (1338 GMT), 340 kilometers (210 miles) south-south-east of Iwo Jima in Japan’s Volcano Islands, at a depth of 261 kilometers, the US Geological Survey said.

Japan experiences about 20 percent of the world’s powerful earthquakes. In July an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale shook central Niigata prefecture, killing 11 people.”

See? I told you earthquakes love them! I just hope you wouldn’t be a tourist in Japan when another intensity 10 earthquake occurs. Just like what happened to the tourists in Thailand. *may they rest in peace*

Ok i don’t wanna blog anymore about negative things.

Forbidden City Cafe. Starbucks evicted! Commercialized Imperial Palace. Chinese Culture.

I just read online… there’s a new Cafe in the Forbidden City in China! Say goodbye to Starbucks! Well according to Rui Chenggang, Starbucks didn’t consider the “solemnity of the Forbidden City and (trampled on) Chinese culture.” Imagine, the Forbidden City of Beijing is now commercialized! Starbucks has been there since 2000, as said in the article.

So the main reason why they wanted a new cafe was so that they can provide other product related to Imperial Palace and Chinese Culture.

Well, ok, i find it reasonable. Viva China! Hehehe.

Current Crave: McDonalds Nuggets. Plus Barbecue Sauce. Processed food is the new Vegetable and fruits!

Anyway i can’t look for pictures so i can make other peep’s mouth water… but i found this site saying that…

“Diet books endorse processed foods. State health authorities endorse fast food. Welcome to the confusing and incoherent world of “healthy food”.

McDonald’s Australia have “persuaded” the National Heart Foundation to place the healthy tick on 9 of its meals.”

Wow! I can’t believe it! Processed food is the new vegrtables and fruits!

Wait just a minute… at the end of the article it says…

“McDonald’s is paying AUD$330,000 per year to get the heart foundation tick.”

I’ll go back to my craving which is the McDonalds Nuggets. Oh my… when it’s hot and you dip it in the barbeque sauce… then you put it in your mouth… the guilt… the guilt…

I also had this blog before about how I love my life.. all I got were hate messages. I must have overdone it with my annoying thoughts. Hahaha.. I’m not blogging for anyone but me, right?

1. My every desire
   • Material Things: Laptops. Cars. Houses. Everything! Money!

   • a lot more.. i just can’t think of them right now cause i didn’t have enough sleep last night.

I’ll post another one right after this about how i’m dying to get thinner after gaining 10 pound over the past few months.

Oh.. just some things i wanna make everyone aware of… i’m mature now unlike before. I think that’s good. Awww i’m really getting older. I turned 20 this year… TWENTEEN. hahah. yeah whatever, right? well at least i can pretend that i didn’t have my birthday so i’ll still be 19. I’ll miss my teenage years. Free from stress. The stress is killing me. I need radiant skin that’ll be the envy of the world. But i don’t have that. So i’ll just post about how i’d love to have one. Sounds pathetic. Well it is. And it doesn’t matter.

Hmph!
