Welcome to Pets Haven Foundation
Thank you for visiting Pets Haven Foundation.
Pets Haven is not your normal every day animal shelter. We are a Pro-Life facility, we do not believe in euthanising healthy animals for economic reasons or to simply make room.
Our emphasis relates to helping both human beings and our orphaned animals. We strongly believe in respecting both 'human and fur'.
Our aim is to responsibly rehouse companion pets back into our community, where they belong.
We rescue animals from pounds, puppy farms, cruelty cases and take in animals from members of the community, who can no longer look after their pets.
All of our orphans are provided with the appropriate veterinary treatment such as health checks, desexing, vaccinations, micro chipping, worming, flea treatments, dentals and we even parvovirus test our canines.
Pets Haven Foundation is not funded in any way. We solely rely on donations and fundraising events.

When do the needs of the many supersede the needs of the individual?
It seems to me that this is one of the "unspoken" issues that we as a society are currently facing.... unfettered individual "liberty" vs what is needed for the welfare, safety and security of the entire citizenry and country as a whole. Many of the economic conflicts we're currently seeing stem from this root cause... specifically taxes and regulation. What is a just government's role in resolving the inevitable conflicts that arise between these competing needs? When should government intervene to preserve the common welfare and the common good? Or, are we all on our own? OK for Driver to Kick Smelly Baby Off Seattle Bus
SEATTLE (AP) я┐╜ Metro Transit in Seattle has apologized but says it won't discipline the driver who asked a woman with a baby to get off a bus because of a stinky diaper. Metro told KOMO (http://is.gd/ywJ5LB ) the driver did not violate policy when she acted for the comfort of other passengers. An apology is not enough for the mother, Nichole Hakimian (hah-KIM'-ee-an), who threatens to sue. She was taking her 1-year-old son to a clinic Tuesday when his diarrhea became an odor issue. She says the driver insisted she exit. Hakimian says she found a place to change the baby and caught another bus to the clinic where her son was diagnosed with a stomach bug. Metro says the driver is a nine-year employee with an excellent record. |
Follow-Up Postings:
That's a really tough one. Given the fact that most people don't spend hours on a bus and that the baby was ill and the mother was taking him to a clinic, I would think it would have been more humane to worry about the needs of the mother and baby and endure some olfactory discomfort. |
I would agree with Ingrid... when did our individual comfort override the needs of an innocent, and sick, child? The adults on that bus could have dealt with the sick child for the short ride to the clinic, where he obviously needed to go! What is wrong with people? Grow up! |
Interesting.... I think there are limits to the rights of individuals when it comes to the common good. Sounds to me like the kid was a biohazard. |

lol kwoods! Kinda my thoughts exactly. Not a big fan of baby miasma. But who am I to say "take a private cab instead!', either? I wonder how this would be resolved in Europe or other places where very few people drive within cities and public transpo is much more frequented by everyone. |
Two hour bus trip each way twice a week more or less with two transfers. Saves a lot of gas money but the drive would be 25 mins. Most buses smell like locker rooms and some of the passengers are street people that don't have access to showers as often as us "privileged" people. Crying children are difficult to bear but what can you do but try to entertain or ignore. Have seen some people that I would have kicked off, rude, scary or just too talkative. Only seen one kicked off for very loud verbal argument that looked to escalate to physical. Interesting people watching. If she had the means to change and bag up the leavings it would not have bothered me but some have sensitive olfactory responses. |
As well as dealing with the sick baby the mother was PG with another child. She was 2 blocks from the clinic when asked to leave the bus. 2 blocks uphill with a sick toddler, pregnant. I think the driver could have taken her the 2 blocks. At the same time I think the idea of sueing is ridiculous. A very sincere apology and maybe a bus pass would be plenty. |

Controversial plans for a £3m crematorium in Cromer have been put on hold, after it was decided there were too many objections to the project.
Officers had recommended members of North Norfolk District Council's development committee should approve the building to the north of Cromer cemetery on Holt Road.
But nearby homeowners and businesses spoke out against the development at yesterday's meeting, raising concerns about it becoming an eyesore and creating extra traffic.
And Julie Davis, whose husband is buried in Cromer's cemetery, said it lacked sensitivity for those already buried.
She said: "My husband was able to choose the plot in peace and quiet beside the woods he so loved, is it too much to ask for consideration for all the families who wish to have the choice to be buried alongside their loved ones?"
Councillors yesterday voted to defer the decision to a later date, suggesting crematorium developers Westerleigh again met with the owners of a nearby woodland burial site in Aylmerton to discuss a shared site.
Benjie Cabbell Manners, a nearby farmer and a member of the council not on the planning committee, said if there was to be a crematorium in Cromer it should be done properly.
He said: "Realistically we have now been told there is going to be eight services a day.
"If you don't do something about that road you are going to get proper hold-ups of people waiting."
More than 480 people, including the National Trust, had objected to the project, primarily due to its location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Bit of a fudge. An opportunity for slippery councillors to say they've listened to the people, but it will come back and then get approved.
Friday, April 18, 2014
This is not a suitable site for a crematorium some consideration should be made for the local residents. As this is an area of outstanding natural beauty no development of this type in the locality.

Cleveland City manager Janice Casteel said Tyson was reinstated Thursday after he, his wife and son signed forms releasing the city of any liability related to medical information it may have released that should have been kept confidential.
The Cleveland City Council had voted to give this option in the same meeting it approved allowing for "mitigating circumstances," such as a spotless record during previous years of service, to be considered before an officer was dismissed based on a failed drug test.
Tyson had been placed on leave of absence on July 2 following a failed drug test and set to appeal his potential dismissal during a hearing Friday.
During a Cleveland City Council Meeting held Friday, Councilman Dale Hughes, who had been absent when the initial discussion had taken place expressed concerns.
Councilman Richard Banks Banks asked for city staff to give the Council information on what happened when and the policy that was used to "justify some of the actions."
He said the information could be used in an effort to understand the situation as the Council moves forward with changing the citywide policy.
The motion passed unanimously.
Hughes said he had numerous calls and three face-to-face conversations on the issue. He said he was "bothered" about what had been reported on the situation.
"I would be remiss and derelict in my duties as a councilman not to bring those up," Hughes said. "(It stated) the investigation started before the chief had talked to Lt. Tyson and his car was pulled and his gun was pulled, and I just want to ask a question, Chief, is that true?"
"The information I received was that he had a positive drug screen. At that time, I initiated an internal affairs investigation. That is standard practice, any time you start an internal affairs investigation is turned over to an internal affairs investigator, to protect the liability of the city property that could cause the most danger, which is the weapon and the vehicle, is placed in a safe place, " Cleveland Police Department chief David Bishop said.
"The (drug) test was given on June 18. We did not receive information until July 2."
Hughes said he felt the chief should have had a meeting with Tyson to assess the situation.
"And if it wasn't stopped at your level, it should have been stopped at the (city) manager's level," Hughes said. "I have had more calls on this than anything since I have been on the Council … he deserved better treatment than this."
Hughes asked who notified the District Attorney's office of the situation.
"I have to any time a police officer breaks the law," Bishop said.
Tyson has returned to work in the police department, according Casteel.

June 17 (Bloomberg) -- Kenya's shilling rebounded from the weakest level in 17 years against the dollar after the central bank sold three-month Treasury bills, reducing supply of the local currency in the market.
The currency of East Africa's biggest economy appreciated as much as 0.6 percent to 89.49 per dollar and traded 0.3 percent stronger at 89.75 by 2 p.m. in the capital, Nairobi. The shilling closed at 90.05 per dollar yesterday, the weakest level since March 1994.
The Central Bank of Kenya, which had offered 2 billion shillings ($22.2 million) of the 91-day treasury bills, received 13.7 billion shillings of bids and accepted 6.7 billion shillings.
"The correction of the local unit is due to tight liquidity following the acceptance of 6 billion shillings in yesterday's 91-day treasury bill auction," Julius Kiriinya, a dealer at Nairobi-based African Banking Corp., said in a phone interview today.
Kenya's government has no plans to stem the shilling's weakness against the dollar even as it is concerned about the drop, Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta said.
"We don't want to say that we are going to interfere with market forces" even though there is "some concern" over the shilling's depreciation, Kenyatta told reporters today in Nairobi, the capital.
Kenya's central bank rejected all of the 1 billion shillings of bids it received for the same amount of repurchase agreements it offered at a sale today, an official who declined to be identified in line with the bank's policy said today.
In a repurchase agreement an investor agrees to sell a security to another trader, while at the same time arranging to buy it back at a future date and at a pre-determined price.

The Bryan County Redskins Baseball team is a team on fire right now and whispers of a team that might take us farther than Redskin baseball has gone in a long while can be heard among loyal fans and the Redskins themselves. No one is shouting their acclaim from the rooftops; it is a quiet expectation as one hit after another leads them ever closer to an opportunity to advance into post season play.
The Redskin track teams were in action April 18 and April 20 at the Region 3A Track Meet, hosted by Southeast Bulloch. The boys finished in 3rd place behind Jenkins Co. and Claxton. The girls team finished in 6th place. Seven competitors advanced to state.
Head coach Mitchell Curry set a goal for his team back in February of being in a position to "play in May". Richmond Hill achieved that goal Friday by clinching at least second place in the sub-region with a solidly played 9-5 win over Benedictine and a nail biting 7-6 win on Saturday against Burke County.
The Wildcat golf team traveled to Fort Stewart April 17 for a match with Liberty County and Bradwell Institute. In the girls match, the ponds and out-of bounds markers newly placed proved too much of a challenge for the lone Wildcat Lady, Brittany Jarrell.
The Redskin baseball team lost 8-3 to Savannah Country Day on Tuesday.
Everything that needed to line up for Richmond Hill after their big win last week against South Effingham did, everything except one minor detail.
Richmond Hill entered its game with South Effingham on Friday with two objectives in mind. Number one - win the game. Number two - save enough pitching for the grueling four game week to come. Head coach Mitchell Curry, thanks to a well executed pitching plan and ten timely hits, can mark those objectives off. Mission accomplished: Richmond Hill 5, South Effingham 4.
Both the Richmond Hill High School boys and girls soccer teams nabbed victories over the weekend, and, coincidentally, this earns them both third seeds from Region 3AAA for the forthcoming state playoff tournament.
After a few days off to enjoy spring break, the Bryan County Redskins traveled to Brooklet Thursday afternoon to play Southeast Bulloch in a non- region matchup.
The Bryan County News chose two athletes of the month for March. Last issue, BCHS baseball player Wesley Wilkes was profiled.
By defeating their first round opponents in the region tournaments, both the boys and girls RHHS soccer teams have earned berths into the state playoffs.
STATESBORO - In a game that was horrendous on both sides with turnovers and missed shots, it seemed like the first team that hit 40 points was going to win.

Microchip Technology's CEO Discusses Q3 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
In the December quarter, the non-GAAP tax rate was 12.7%, and the GAAP tax rate was 7.4% as a result of the nonrecurring tax events discussed earlier. Our tax rate is impacted by the mix of geographical profits, withholding taxes associated with our licensing businesses, gains or losses on trading securities and the percentage of our cash that is invested in tax-advantaged securities. We expect our combined forward-looking effective tax rate on both the GAAP and non-GAAP basis to be about 12.5% to 13%.
To summarize the after-tax impact that the non-GAAP adjustments had on Microchip's earnings per share in the December quarter, share-based compensation was about $0.043, acquisition-related items were about $0.011, noncash interest expense was about $0.006 and the favorable tax event was about $0.02. The dividend declared today of $0.349 per share will be paid on March 6, 2012, to shareholders of record on February 21, 2012. The cash payment associated with this dividend will be approximately $67.1 million.
Moving onto the balance sheet. Microchip's inventory at December 31 was $217.9 million or 137 days, up 5 days from the prior-quarter levels. The total combined inventory held either by Microchip or its distributors was down 6 days on a sequential basis. Inventory at our distributors was 35 days, which is down 11 days from the prior-quarter level. The change that we experienced in distribution inventory levels is that largest one quarter change we have ever experienced.
However, I remind you that our distribution revenues throughout the world is recognized on a sell-through basis. At December 31, Microchip's accounts receivable balance was $149.3 million, an increase of 4.8% from the balance as of the end of December. Receivable balances continue to be in great condition with excellent payment performance from our customers.

I've got U. sandersonii and I forget the other. Right now they are in an east windowsill sitting in water up to about 1 cm below the soil level. Does this seem reasonable? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by back2eight South MS (My Page) on Thu, May 18, 06 at 15:36
Sure. As long as they are getting plenty of sun. Keep them wet! |
- Posted by petiolaris 5 (My Page) on Fri, May 19, 06 at 8:17
They may be terrestrial, but as B28 says, keep 'em wet. Actually, allow the water to evaporate until almost dry and then flood them. Is it possible for you to move them to a more southern exposure? fortunately, a sandersonnii is one of the easiest and free flowering bladderworts. Mine did just fine on a NW window sill. |
I only have one south window in my house...and it's already taken...go figure! ;) I guess my east windows are ever so slightly south east, so it isn't too bad. Thanks! |

Kitty Felde Washington, D.C. Correspondent
- Phone: (202) 263-0200
Kitty Felde is KPCC's Washington, D.C. Correspondent.
Before moving to the nation's capital, Kitty hosted KPCC's "Talk of the City" from 1997-2006.
In addition to her work in Los Angeles, Felde has reported from Africa and The Hague on AIDS and the war crimes tribunals for Rwanda and Bosnia.
When Felde puts down her microphone, she puts on her pointed shoes in ballet class. She's also an award-winning playwright. Her work has been produced at the National Theater in Washington, D.C., and at various theaters in New York and Los Angeles. If you look very closely in Woody Allen's "Radio Days," you'll spot her playing the role of Mrs. Riley.
Stories by Kitty Felde
Congressman Joe Wilson catcalls president during address to Congress
President Obama made his pitch for health care reform before a joint session of Congress last night. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde was in the House gallery last night when one member called the president a liar.
Sitting in the Gallery
It's a completely different ballgame, sitting in the House Gallery watching the President make a speech to Congress. It's louder, for one thing. You sit about 30 feet above the action, where the "whispering" among members is really distracting.
Congresswoman Waters expects Obama to support public option
Tomorrow night, President Obama will speak to a joint session of Congress in an effort to jumpstart the health care debate. One L.A. congresswoman expects to hear the president come out strongly for a public health insurance option. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde reports.
There Goes The President
We all know where the President will be tomorrow night: in the Capitol, telling a rare joint session of Congress what he thinks should be in a health care bill.
Post office renamed to honor Johnny Grant
He was known as the "Mayor of Hollywood," and now the late Johnny Grant is the man whose name graces the Hollywood post office. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde reports.
Southern Californians travel to Virginia to compete in game of Go
With games, simplicity endures - a chess board of 64 squares, a deck of 52 cards, or the simplest of all: a Go board that's empty. Go is game of quiet strategy that's captivated players for more than a millennium, from ancient China to a college auditorium in Virginia last month. That's where hundreds of Go enthusiasts met for the 25th U.S. Go Congress. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde caught up with some Southern Californians who traveled across the country to play against some Go pros.
The Lions Roar No More
Teddy Kennedy and Dominick Dunne - a pair of lions whose roar was silenced today.
Senator Boxer's new book a Capitol Hill thriller
California's junior senator, Barbara Boxer, has just written her second novel. As you'd expect from someone who's served in Congress for more than 25 years, the book is a political thriller. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde caught up with Boxer as she embarked on a summer book tour.
How They Spent Their Summer Vacations
Ever wonder where your Congressional member is spending his or her summer?
California Republican Fiorina prepares to challenge Senator Boxer
The election is more than a year away, but a wealthy California Republican is preparing to challenge three-term Democratic U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde reports.
More Thoughts on DC Driving
The natives say Pierre L'Enfant designed the city to confound the British. Apparently it didn't work. They burned the place in 1812. But traffic circles, diagonal streets, and cobblestones in unexpected places are the legacy he left behind.
DC Drivers
After six months of careful observation, it is clear that DC motorists are very bad drivers.
LA congressman Becerra moving family closer to DC
This is the time of year when most Washington politicians are packing their bags to head back to their home districts. But one L.A. congressman is packing up his family to move them closer to Capitol Hill. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde reports.
Study says guest worker program may help stop illegal immigration
This fall, Congress is expected to tackle comprehensive immigration reform. A Washington think tank says the best way to stop illegal immigration is with a guest worker program. KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde reports.
Congressman Becerra makes case for public option
Some might characterize last night's raucous health care debate in Alhambra as a battle between Democrats and Republicans. But one congressional leader says it's really a disagreement between insurance "haves" and "have nots." KPCC's Washington Correspondent Kitty Felde reports.

Convenient comfortable despite small area
I like everything!
Everything. I have booked the smallest room for very little price. Check-in was in 1 min, staff helped to carry bags. The smallest room is small, but very comfortable. Coffee maker, tea, water is in the room. There is special additional table for laptop. Even bathroom is only 2 sq.f., but has everything you need.
To use public parking, you need to walk 1 block. In the winter it is not comfortable. But it is hard to find parking for 28$ in downtown Chicago.
The location, the fair price and the comfort of the bed.
Poor wi-fi; the so called "Request Guest Room" was erratic.
Location [waw] opposite Trump hotel the sound machine in the room
Extremely clean and comfortable. We had a great time. Restaurant is excellent, too.
Nothing not to like.
Location Price Amenities Overall room organization
Hard to get sufficient heat in the room (it was really cold in Chicago)
I loved the view and location
How small the room was we were that we could get a bigger room if we payed $15 but our suite when we walked in was just way too small we didn't see the difference in upgrading
I thought the staff at Club Quarters, made me feel like home away from home! I really enjoyed my stay there. Great hotel for the rates and location.
Location is great.
Difficulty finding the hotel. GPS did not work. After calling for directions, they were given so fast, that they could not be understood. The room we stayed in had the heat set on 76 degrees. We were told by management that there were no other rooms and that the temperature could not be adjusted. They said to just turn off the heat. We needed air circulating, so we slept with cool washcloths to keep from being so hot. The next day we asked the maintenance person, instead of management, about the heat. We were promptly switched to another room where the thermostat could be adjusted. Filling up your own water bottle is a nice feature. However, the cleanliness of the machines needs to be addressed.
I liked it here but the only complaint I have is the Front desk, rud

having to go to the lower level to get Ice.
having a fridge and microwave was very handy
the wi-fi connection was very weak in our hotel room
The staff was very kind with any questions and the hotel atmosphere was very pleasant. We were even able to check in early.
Nothing bad to say about our stay.
Location was great. Felt super safe. Got an amazing deal. Nice staff. Very helpful
Comfortable and clean room right on One Mag Mile. Great value for the location. Staff went out of their way to attend to my needs.
Walls were a little thin. I could hear my neighbors on either side at different times during the stay and door closings from their rooms shook the walls in my room a couple of times.
The location was perfect for us. Anything and everything we wanted was well within walking distance. Staff was professional, courteous, pleasant and helpful. This will be our lodging of choice when next we visit Chicago.
Trying but can't think of a thing.
Slowest elevators! Valet takes forever! I found an old pizza in the fridge!!! Really
Wonderful location! Rather than small,((as some have said) , I'd describe the room as cozy ! Nice work area , very clean. Close to Public transportation.
Could have used a second chair.
I realised later the river side location was a very good idea. It was in a walking distance to the most of the places I was considering to visit downtown. I've got a clean, quiet room.
No complains.
Complimentary Water bottles
Room was like a box room, far too small

Home Financial Bancorp Extends Its Tender Offer For Holders Of 1,000 Or Fewer Shares
Home Financial Bancorp (OTCQB: HWEN) today announced that the expiration date of its tender offer for the purchase of all shares of its common stock held by persons owning 1,000 or fewer shares as of the close on September 18, 2012, has been extended to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 16, 2012. The offer had been scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, November 2, 2012. The Company will pay $5.00 for each share purchased in the tender offer. The offer is not conditioned on the receipt of any minimum number of tenders.
In commenting on the results of the offer to date, Kurt D. Rosenberger, the President of Home Financial Bancorp, stated: "We have received an excellent response so far in connection with this tender offer and are encouraged that we will accomplish our goals. Unfortunately, Hurricane Sandy interfered with the final days of the original tender offer. For this reason, we have extended the offer to allow eligible shareholders who want to participate the ability to do so as we have received expressions of interest from eligible shareholders who have not yet tendered their shares pursuant to this offer."
Questions or requests for documents may be directed to Gary M. Monnett, Chief Financial Officer, or Kurt D. Rosenberger, President of Home Financial Bancorp, at (812) 829-2095, or Eagle Rock Proxy Advisors, the Information Agent for the offer, by telephone at (855) 413-5856 (toll free) or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or a solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of Home Financial Bancorp's common stock. The offer is being made solely by the Offer to Purchase for Cash dated October 3, 2012, and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, which were previously mailed to eligible shareholders. Eligible shareholders who would like to accept the offer must tender all shares that they own. Partial tenders will not be accepted.

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I do recommend the product, but I'd just want to point out 2 things. 1. On my screen I assumed it was varying shades of brown/tan, but actually half of the 'pebbles' are mauve 2. It sheds A LOT, most other wool rugs I've had do also, so I don't discredit this rug for that, it just always looks messy because of all the shedding, I've vacuumed it a bunch, but only had it like 2 weeks, and I think it will stop in a month or two...
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This area rug is thick and plush. It has a lot of dimension to it and appears to be made very well. We are excited to have it in our home. Thanks so much.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.FYI, dots are more mauve than gold, as I thought based on the image. Nice quality.
The rug looks like a good choice. We are in rug bunyig mode and I found a similar one in grey I want for our bedroom. I can't wait to see the chair you choose. :)
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

e-commerce languages/frameworks??
Hi guys, I am new to serve side development but excited to learn more.
I would like to build a shopping cart and I was wondering the best language/framework to learn that.
Is php or cakephp or codeigniter or zend or ruby on rails.
I don't have any experience with any of them I am fresh.
I read somewhere that ruby would be the best for the long run, what u think?
Is it overkill to learn a language/framework only to build a shopping cart, is it better to use.learn zen cart/magento ot joomla?
I am planning to use mysql or any other free db.
My background is front side...html,css,xml,flash,actionscript 3.0.
What's more, I am very excited about the j-query,ajax so I would like to implement that and flash to my webpage/application.
In case that php is the way to go, is it faster/better to learn a framework to build the shopping cart or pure php? which framework.
E-commerce/shopping cart only purpose for now.
Thanks for your time and help.

Its all pretty subjective, but if you want to learn how to build something I'd still pick PHP. I would also avoid using a framework if you are new, so you learn how to do things the hard way to make you a better programmer.
I personally like Codeigniter as a framework for PHP, and use Joomla for a CMS, but thats me. I have built sites without them and with heavy modifications in both.
If you just want to get a shopping cart running, I've heard really good things about Magneto.

Judicial Action
Cardiff Blues lock Jarrad Hoeata will miss the remainder of his club's European commitments, after he was banned for six weeks for his high tackle on Rob Kearney last weekend.
The All Black lock was sent off for the tackle on Kearney, as he caught the fullback round the neck.
A disciplinary committee – chaired by Achille Reali (Italy), along with Rhian Williams (Wales) and Barry O'Driscoll (Ireland) – viewed footage of the incident and listened to representations made by and on behalf of the player.
They found that the incident was at the mid-range of the World Rugby sanctions for this type of offence, carrying a six-week sanction.
South African flyhalf Morné Steyn endured a miserable first start of the season for Stade Francais on Friday when he was red-carded in the Top 14 leaders' 9-12 defeat at Lyon.
Steyn, the 30-year-old top-scorer at the 2011 World Cup, had confidently kicked Stade into a 6-0 lead – courtesy of a 40-metre penalty and a quick-thinking drop-goal.
But after Mosese Ratuvou had cut the deficit with the game's opening try, Steyn saw red in the 31st minute for kicking the Fijian wing as the two tussled on the ground.
Harlequins lock Charlie Matthews could face a ban of up to one year after he was cited for allegedly making contact with the eye area of Leinster flanker Dominic Ryan in last Saturday's European Champions Cup match.
The 23-year-old – who was sin-binned by French referee Romain Poite for the altercation – will face a disciplinary panel in London on Wednesday.
The panel could impose anything from a low end sanction lasting 12 weeks, mid-range 24 weeks, while in the worst case scenario he could be banned for a year for a more serious offence.
Fiji prop Campese Ma'afu was suspended for a week for being sent off for two yellow-card offenses in the 17-13 loss to Wales at Cardiff last weekend.
Ma'afu appeared before an independent Six Nations disciplinary hearing on Tuesday.
Racing Metro backline coach Laurent Labit has been handed a 15-week ban for his disparaging comments against the referee in his side's loss against Stade Francais.
Labit will be banned from all access to grounds, dressing-rooms and entry areas in all Top 14 and European Cup games up until February 15, the French Rugby League Union announced.
Racing Metro were also hit with a 50,000 euros fine for his words which were seen as tainting the reputation and integrity of South African referee Jacob van Heerden.
Disgraced utility back Kurtley Beale has been fined, but will rejoin the Wallaby team at the weekend.
He will board a flight on Saturday to rejoin the Wallabies on their year-end European tour.
It followed his in-flight confrontation with former Wallabies business and logistics manager Di Patston and subsequent revelations that he sent lewd text messages to teammates about the former staffer.
A tribunal on Friday found Beale guilty of a serious violation of the Australian Rugby Union code of conduct, and handed down a AU$ 45 000 (about US$ 40 000) fine, for sending an offensive photograph to an ARU employee.
The charge related to an image Beale admitted to sending on 9 June.
Griquas hooker Ryno Barnes on Friday was cleared of wrongdoing after receiving a red card in their Absa Currie Cup clash against the Blue Bulls last weekend for allegedly verbally abusing the referee.

Advocate Tokkie van Zyl has been appointed as the Judicial Officer.
In the 1980's people sat spellbound in front of their television screens watching a show called MacGyver. Every week the hero would somehow find himself in a predicament and escape using sparse items in the process.

Following a successful return to the Currie Cup Premier Division last weekend, Pumas coach Jimmy Stonehouse has opted for continuity in his selections for Friday's match against defending champions the Sharks in Durban.

(Updates with excerpt from court brief in third paragraph.)
Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Sprint Nextel Corp. challenged AT&T Corp.'s bid to obtain documents in a U.S. government antitrust case against the wireless provider's proposed $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile USA Inc.
The brief, filed today, was in response to Dallas-based AT&T's Oct. 21 request that Sprint turn over the documents, although Overland Park, Kansas-based Sprint isn't a party to the case.
"AT&T already possesses 2.2 million pages of Sprint documents," a Sprint lawyer, Tara L. Reinhart of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, said in a brief filed in federal district court in Washington. She called the request "unduly burdensome."
AT&T and Bonn-based Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile unit were sued by the U.S. Justice Department in August over allegations that the combination would curtail competition.
The government's case is U.S. v. AT&T Inc., 11-01560; Sprint's case is Sprint Nextel Corp. v. AT&T Inc., 11-01600; and Cellular South's case is Cellular South Inc. v. AT&T Inc., 11- 01690, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

I received some rose seeds in a trade and was wondering how long they are viable. Also, my mini's never produce hips, does anyone know why? Thanks, Joel. |

I'm surprised that no one has answered this?? I don't have any experience with rose seeds so I'm not sure how long they are good for?? Maybe if you post it in the regular rose forum, I'm sure it will be answered much quicker. I don't think all roses make hips. Maureen |
