GREEN BAY, Wis. - Backup tight end Tom Crabtree scored on a fake field goal as Green Bay beat Chicago 23-10 on Thursday.

With the Packers facing fourth-and-26 on the Chicago 27-yard line, holder Tim Masthay and kicker Mason Crosby appeared to line up for a field goal attempt. But Masthay took the snap and flipped the ball to Crabtree, who ran through a huge hole and streaked all the way to the end zone with 1:50 left in the first half.

Cutler then threw an interception to Tramon Williams near midfield with just over a minute left in the half and the play was upheld on a replay review, giving the Packers one last chance to score. Aaron Rodgers marched the Packers into scoring range, and Mason Crosby hit a 35-yard field goal.

Crosby hit a 48-yarder earlier in the second quarter, as both offenses struggled to score.

Clay Matthews led a ferocious Green Bay pass rush that sacked Cutler three times and kept the Bears' new-look passing offense in check. Brandon Marshall did not catch a pass with Williams providing tight coverage in the first half, and Cutler had only four completions and 37 yards passing.

The Packers also struggled on offense while featuring running back Cedric Benson ? a former Bears first-round pick.

Rodgers was sacked four times in the half, and Green Bay got a scare when the NFL MVP appeared to hurt his right arm while being sacked during the Packers' second possession.

The ball slipped out of Rodgers' hand awkwardly as he tried to throw a pass on the next play, and backup Graham Harrell started warming up on the sideline, but Rodgers went back in on the next possession.

Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings was inactive after hurting his groin late in Sunday's loss to San Francisco.

Bears cornerback Charles Tillman played despite a shin injury, and Brian Urlacher was on the field despite having surgery on his left knee during training camp.

It's the 185th edition of the NFL's oldest rivalry. Coming into Thursday night, Chicago held an overall 92-86-6 edge in the series, including a pair of playoff games. The Packers had won four straight and six of the last seven, including the playoffs.

The Packers were coming off a 30-22 home loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Green Bay struggled to stop the 49ers' balanced offense and came into a short week of preparation still looking for answers in the secondary.

On offense, the 49ers' dominant defense held the Packers to seven points in the first three quarters before a late rally attempt came up short.

Chicago came into the season with high expectations for a beefed-up passing attack, and the arrival of Marshall was a hit right away. Renewing his partnership with Cutler from their days in Denver, Marshall caught nine passes for 119 yards and a touchdown and the Bears put up 41 points in their season-opening victory over Indianapolis.

Home Equity Lines Of Credit: A Homeowner's Right Hand - ask me

Owning a home opens many doors in the financial world. Tenants and non homeowners might sometimes have a hard time getting the kind of finance they need due to the lack of security for the lender. They will more often than not find themselves in the need of an excellent credit score and a spotless credit history in order to obtain a loan. We all know this is not realistic, not everyone has a credit score of 800 and has never missed a payment. So bad credit tenants and non homeowners will have to settle for a sky-high interest rate loan with less than favourable terms.

Provided that you are a homeowner, you have many different alternatives when it comes to obtaining finance. No matter what type of loan you are looking at and no matter what credit range you have. The sole factor of you owning a home presents a security blanket for the lender. If you default on the loan, the lender will be able to seize your property to make up for the money loss.

As a homeowner, you have, or have been building, what is called equity on your home. This represents the true value of your property, minus the outstanding mortgage balance. For example, if your house is worth $100,000 and you still owe $50,000 worth of mortgage loan, the equity on your home will go up to $50,000. Once you finish repaying the mortgage loan, your equity will be worth $100,000.

Home Equity Loans

Home equity loans have become very popular in the last few years because they are extremely versatile and easy to get approved for. They provide the applicant with the chance to obtain a loan on excellent terms by pledging their home as a security for the loan. Of course that individuals should be fully aware of the consequences that may arise from defaulting on this loan: their homes might be lost. But leaving this aside, home equity loans are usually a great funding choice if the risks are taking into consideration and applicant can afford to repay the loaned money.

Home Equity Lines Of Credit

There is an alternative to the common home equity loan and it is called a ?Home equity line of credit? or HELOC, for short. This option works like the regular equity loan in terms of security for the lender and interest rate terms, but carries one major difference: it is a revolving credit, very much like a credit card but with better terms. You will be able to take as much money as you need within the specified limit and then repay it on a monthly basis. Once you repay the amount of money you withdrew, you will be able to withdraw money again.

A line of credit is perfect for those who need finance for a varied number of expenses, but who do not exactly know how much money they will need in the long run, or will not need a large amount of money. With this alternative, you only pay interests on the money you use.

Many homeowners have benefited from this amazing financial product as the obtained money can be put to any use whatsoever.

Fewer modern farmers rely on almanacs for insights

BOSTON (AP) ? Scott Freitas' grandmother always followed the farmer's almanac, but the fourth-generation farmer never does.

Selling corn and apples at a recent farmer's market in Boston, Freitas said the almanacs are more for fun than real-life farm use, and he relies on experience instead.

"I do what our family's been doing," he said.

Many farmers like Freitas say farmer's almanacs, known for their catchy weather predictions, are no longer a go-to source in the Information Age. Some, however, still turn to the centuries-old booklets for long-range weather predictions. The 2013 edition of the Old Farmer's Almanac hit shelves Wednesday.

"In the early days, I suppose it used to be the main source of information, maybe the only source of information," said Annie Cheatham, executive director of the New England Farmers Union, which gets a copy of the Old Farmer's Almanac every year. "Of course, that's changed a lot with satellite information."

The 221-year-old Old Farmer's Almanac based in New Hampshire ? not to be confused with the slightly younger Farmer's Almanac based in Maine ? predicts a cold winter in the East, South and Southwest and a mild winter in the Midwest, heartland and West Coast. Summer, however, will be warmer on the West and East Coasts and cooler throughout the rest of the country.

The Old Farmer's Almanac, which boasts a 3.1 million print circulation plus digital versions, is used by all audiences, not just farmers, editor Janice Stillman said.

Gardeners, ranchers, roofers, astronomy clubs and brides-to-be turn to the book for weather, astronomy and recipe information, she said.

"A lot of the folks who buy the Old Farmer's Almanac grew up on farms or their parents or grandparents did," said Stillman, who gardens but doesn't farm, and checks the weather predictions for her own travel plans. "Whether they read it in the bathroom or in the kitchen, it's something they always want to have on hand."

Richard Bonanno, president of the Massachusetts Farm Bureau Board of Directors, says some farmers likely use almanacs as a general guideline for their long-range weather predictions, like whether winter will be colder or warmer than normal.

"I hear farmers talk about it all the time: 'Did you hear the almanac said it's going to be a cold winter?'" Bonanno said. "Within the agricultural community, there's still discussion about it."

But Bonanno, who is in his 50s, said younger farmers are less likely to turn to the almanac's acumen.

"Younger generations are probably checking the Internet to see what the high tide's going to be, not pulling out the almanac," he said.

Dan Tawczynski, 67, of Taft Farms in Great Barrington, Mass., said his father used an almanac but he doesn't.

"I think you're foolish to ignore it completely," he said

While almanacs aren't especially valuable to farmers, he said, they're too quaint to disappear.
