Hard landing? Soft landing? Bumpy landing? Australian investors and resource industry executives who have ridden the "China boom" will be hoping Beijing can steer the world's second largest economy to a "soft landing" as policymakers tap the brakes on growth in the hope of slowing accelerating inflation.
Those hopes for slower growth and tamer inflation haven't worked out as planned – yet.
While various indicators show China's economy has slowed due to tighter policy aimed at dampening inflation, price pressures have done the opposite – they have gathered pace and appear set to move higher.
Inflation rose at a year-on-year pace of 5.5 per cent in May, the highest level since July 2008. It had been 5.3 per cent in April.
The pace of inflation has exceeded the government's 4 per cent target every month so far this year.
Worse still, there have been forecasts for the pace of inflation to move higher in June, possibly as high as 6 per cent as key foodstuffs like pork – a key staple of the Chinese diet – has risen to new highs.
Even the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planner, warned late last month inflation will "remain elevated for some months".
Premier Wen Jiabao outlined the 4 per cent target at the National People's Congress in early March as he pledged to make fighting inflation the government's top economic priority of the year.
The credibility of the inflation target is in tatters and even Wen appeared to be backing away from it given comments made on his recent whistlestop tour through Europe.
"I see difficulties in reaching the full year inflation target of 4 per cent.
"But it still can be kept below 5 per cent after the efforts we have made," he said in London.
Most economists believe inflationary pressures will moderate in the second half of the year in response to the government's tightening measures. Additionally, food prices are expected to moderate as crops recover from a drought in key grain growing provinces.
The People's Bank of China has implemented a range of initiatives to slow growth and tame inflation.
Interest rates have been raised four times since October and the bank reserve ratio requirement (RRR) has been raised to a record 21.5 per cent for large banks.
While most economists are fairly confident about a pullback in price pressures in the second half of the year, many believe the central bank will lift interest rates maybe once more.
It is expected the PBoC will continue to raise the RRR as a tool to combat inflation as it stems bank lending by forcing them to put more capital to one side.
But Beijing faces a number of complications in its bid to tame inflation through interest rate rises and higher RRRs.
Most economists believe there is a slim chance of a "hard landing" marked by a dramatic slowdown in growth. Beijing is viewed as having the financial muscle and control to quickly stimulate the economy if growth slowed to a pace that threatened social stability.
Plans to build 10 million affordable housing units, as well as the continued build-out of infrastructure, are likely to support growth.
Most forecasters have pencilled in growth above 9 per cent for the year and government is targeting 8 per cent.
However, the use of tighter policy doesn't preclude a bumpy landing for the Chinese economy.
Policymakers face a number of hurdles in their fight against inflation.
Stricter capital requirements have put a squeeze on lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, a source of jobs for many workers.
They have also forced banks, facing a potential increase in bad loans, to earn a lower return on their funds by keeping them at the central bank.
Higher interest rates are pressuring local governments that took on huge debts to fund major developments to support growth and jobs during the financial crisis.
Vanity projects, empty apartments and roads to nowhere have all been funded by debt and many local governments do not have the capacity to pay back those loans.
Local governments have also been hurt by Beijing's attempts to cool the red hot property market.
Land sales, a major source of revenue for local governments, have slowed at a time when many are facing high debt repayments.
The consensus view is that China's property bubble won't burst.
However, there is the risk cash-strapped developers unable to access cheap and easy funding may start cutting prices, while recent speculators who have entered the market may be spooked by any weakness.
While tighter policy may be the right choice in terms of fighting inflation and rebalancing the economy, it risks straining pressure points in the economy and financial system.
Stability is the ultimate policy of the Chinese government.
That means the focus will most likely remain on short-term stability through policies targeting growth and jobs but at the risk of ignoring much-needed structural changes that may lead to instability in the future.

Dick Cheney on Marco Rubio: "I'm a big fan of his"
"Marco's great," Cheney said on Sean Hannity's radio show. "I'm a big fan of his." …
"He's a first-rate asset," the former vice president said. "We'll be hearing a lot from him down the road. And the one bright note, I think, from the last election is we do have a good crop of folks coming along who have enormous talent and I think are dedicated to the principles most Americans believe in."
Cheney also praised Rubio's handling of his awkward sip of water in the middle of the speech, commending his "sense of humor" in dealing with the episode.

The Oakland City Council voted Wednesday to make changes to a proposed deal that would keep the A's at the Coliseum for the next 10 years.
The council approved the lease agreement but added seven amendments to a deal that was negotiated over the last 14 months by the team and the Coliseum Joint Powers Authority, which governs the stadium.
One of the amendments changes how the A's would inform the city if they end up leaving. Another allows the city to force the A's out of the Coliseum if a deal to develop the site and build a new football-only stadium for the Oakland Raiders materializes.
A's President Michael Crowley said the team could only accept one of the changes, which corrects a typographical error in the lease agreement. It wants to see the remaining language kept "as is."
City Council President Pat Kernighan, who authored the amendments, said after the meeting that she hopes A's owner Lew Wolff accepts the council's vote "as a yes."
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said, "If the A's accept this, we can talk about building a new stadium for them."
But City Councilman Larry Reid, who is vice chair of the Joint Powers Authority, said he fears that the council's vote will help push the A's out of the city. "This council keeps playing with fire and it will get burned," he said.
Oakland school board member Chris Dobbins, who's a member of the JPA, said he's also concerned that the A's won't accept the changes made by the City Council.
The Alameda County Board of Supervisors must also approve the lease and is scheduled to vote on July 29 on the original agreement. The JPA must also vote on the matter again.
Jon Streeter, the JPA's attorney, said he's hopeful that the JPA board and the A's will still approve the lease. "I think the vote tonight was great news because 99.9 percent of the agreement was approved by the City Council," he said. "We'll have to see what the A's want to do."
For more on the Coliseum deal, reporter Stephanie Martin Taylor spoke with Oakland Mayor Jean Quan.

Seen the path leading to the land of infinity!
Where neither space nor time exists!
Where neither limits nor boundary exists!
Where neither Past nor Present nor Future exists!
Where neither body nor consciousness exists!
Where neither mind nor awareness exists!
Where neither emotions nor feelings exists!
Where neither happiness nor sadness exists!
Where neither love nor hate exists!
Where neither hotness nor coldness exists!
Where neither light nor darkness exists!
Where neither hell nor heaven exists!
Where neither God nor Devil exists!
Where neither fantasy nor myth exists!
Where neither death nor life exists!
Where neither beauty nor ugliness exists!
Where neither matter nor materials exists!
Floats like a bubble in an ocean of infinite destiny.
Sometimes for a few time, seen the lights of consciousness.
Returns back and again recycled in the land of souls.
Life is like a dream! That never wants to happen!

Sounds like a pretty boring place! Good work though!
Interesting philosophy, nicely done.
oh wow, so deep, intense and very powerful!!! This is a huge hit for sure!! Great, truly enjoyed it!
It sounds as if infinity is almost limbo. No extremes. Just goes on and on. Very powerful poem. I liked it a lot.
Very powerful and I agree with the person above, it does seem like a pretty boring place.
This poem is really well written, and describes the setting beautifully! And, ok, the place does sound a bit boring, but i guess that's the point, right - a place that's completely neutral?
The one thing i want to point out to you is that your frequent use of exclamation marks is maybe a little unnecessary, and that the poem would probably be better without them, but that your choice!
Good writing though, well done :D
This is extreamly interesting! good job!
well this was interesting for sure! I really liked the flow of it! Good job!
Nicely done. I enjoyed it :)

i write philosophy too but i don't know if anyone would want to read it...i liked your work...thanks for suggesting
Sounds like a place in-between. Very nice poem. ;)
made me appreciate this world. It is an intriuging thought; if all divides of the world vanished, would we be better off or would it not be worth it?

Cloudburst strikes Himachal Pradesh, rain disrupts Amarnath yatra in Kashmir
A cloudburst on Tuesday destroyed crops in Himachal Pradesh while heavy rainfall temporarily stopped Amarnath yatra in Kashmir even as heavy downpours in some areas of North India threw normal life out of gear.
A cloudburst on Tuesday destroyed crops in Himachal Pradesh while heavy rainfall temporarily stopped Amarnath yatra in Kashmir even as heavy downpours in some areas of North India threw normal life out of gear.
In the national capital, the temperatures continued to hover close to the normal levels, but it was high humidity which made life uncomfortable for the Delhiites. The day temperature settled at 33.6 degree Celsius, which was normal for this part of the year, while the minimum temperature was recorded at 27.2 degree Celsius.
The weatherman has predicted a generally cloudy sky for Wednesday, with possibility of light rains or thundershowers in some areas. In view of heavy rains, the ongoing pilgrimage to the Amarnath shrine from Pahalgam and Baltal base camps in Kashmir Valley was halted for a brief period, the officials said.
However, the yatra along the twin tracks leading to the cave shrine has been resumed, they said. In Uttar Pradesh, major rivers continued to flow above the danger mark with moderate to rather heavy rainfall and thundershowers lashing several places in the state.
Ganga continued to flow above the danger level at Ballia and Gazipur and was maintaing a rising trend all through its course from Fatehgarh to Ballia, according to Central Water Commission sources.
Yamuna, Sharda and Ghagra rivers are also flowing above the red mark during its courses at several places in the state. Met officials forecast rain and thundershowers would occur at many places over west UP and few areas in the eastern districts in the next 48 hours. Meanwhile, a cloudburst was reported in Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh which washed away kharif crops on 40 bighas of land.
However, there was no loss of life in the incident, official sources said. Due to to the heavy torrential rains in the state, the mercury dropped marginally with Una recording the highest at 32.6 deg Celsius. In a much respite to the people of Punjab and Haryana, which had witnessed relatively hot and dry weather last week, light to moderate showers lashed a number of areas in the region.
Chandigarh, the joint capital, received light showers and the maximum temperature in the city stood at 31.5 deg Celsius. Rainfall was reported from a few places in the state, including Patiala, Amritsar and Mohali.

Rich Lowry, editor of The National Review, has responded to Christopher Buckley's announcement on Tina Brown and Barry Diller's Daily Beast that he was "fired," as the story's URL shows, or "sacked," as its headline read until it was recently changed to "Buckley Bows Out of National Review." (Buzz moves fast, and as The Times David Carr wrote roughly 300 hours ago, "Given Ms. Brown's reputation for frantically changing everything in the final hours of closing every magazine she has edited, perhaps a medium that absorbs — indeed, requires — constant reiteration will suit her.")
Writing on 'The Corner' blog, Mr. Lowry claims:
So, according to Mr. Lowry, it was Mr. Buckley's jaunty little email, not the "flood" of hate mail Mr. Buckley says was sent to The National Review after he endorsed Senator Barack Obama, that did him in.
It hardly seems to matter. Maybe we'll get to read all the messages—jaunty, hateful, or otherwise—when Mr. Buckley puts out a sequel to his father's 2007 book, Cancel Your Own Goddamn Subscription.

Rick Santorum is concerned that too many people might seek a college education and in the process have their minds warped by those damn liberal professors. Rick told an audience, "President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to got to college. What a snob." Rick is concerned that providing youth a college education is simply the first step on the road to ending Christianity and hard work thinking.
As Rick notes: "there are good decent men and women who got out and work hard everyday and put their skills to test that aren't taught by college professors trying to indoctrinate them… He(Obama) want to remark you in his image."
Let me get this straight, Barack Obama is president of the United States. He has a wonderful wife and two nice children. He is now a millionaire. Yes, Barack, I would like to be cast in your image.
OH, for the record: Rick Santorum has a BA, a Law Degree and an MBA. I get it! The reason his mind is warped is because he went to college!!

Backgrounder: Major plane crashes in Nigeria in last decade
LAGOS, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Nigeria on Monday started three days of national mourning for the 193 victims of one of the country's worst plane crashes that happened in the economic capital Lagos a day earlier.
The Dana Air flight with 153 people on board plunged into a densely populated area of Lagos near the airport on Sunday afternoon, killing all people aboard and 40 others on the ground, according to the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
Local newspapers said Monday that several high-ranking military and government officials and central bank bureaucrats were on board the plane, which was traveling from capital Abuja to Lagos, a trip of some 50 minutes. Also among the passengers were a group of wedding guests.
The Chinese Embassy in Nigeria confirmed that six Chinese nationals were among the dead.
An overnight search and rescue mission was under way.
Nigerian government officials said they did not expect to find any survivors from the crashed Boeing MD83.
Rescuers have so far pulled out at least 62 bodies from the charred wreckage, while most of the bodies at the crash site were beyond recognition.
Aviation Minister Stella Odua, who has rushed to the scene, said the plane had sent a distress signal minutes before it fell to the ground.
Reports said Monday that the black boxes had been found and handed over to police to probe into the cause of the fatal accident.
An eyewitness who lives near the crash site said he saw the plane flying lower and lower and swaying continuously.
"It's obvious that the pilot was trying to control the plane and it crashed and began to burn," he said.
At the site, a church, a two-story residential building and a printing shop were badly damaged.
Xinhua reporters who hurried to the field saw more than 40 people living in the two-story building, each having six flats, were trapped inside after the crash. A wild inferno engulfed the building and sent out heavy smoke.
Fire engines were brought in to put off the fire and two cranes also arrived to clear the debris and help residents out.
Police officers and rescue workers were seen on the ground to evacuate victims.
"Military helicopters have also been hovering around the area to provide security," a Xinhua staff added.
A crowd of 2,000 onlookers climbed onto rooftops and other areas to follow the aftermath.
Security personnel deployed in the area had difficulty in controlling the large crowd of sympathizers around the building.
Ganiu Afolabi, a resident in the area, told Xinhua that there was palpable fear that the building may collapse soon, due to the fire.
"It is obvious that the building is now weak and we just pray it doesn't fall off because the fire cannot be quenched," he said.
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, who declared a three-day national mourning, had canceled all his public engagements and was due to visit the crash site Monday.
He has also ordered the fullest possible investigation into the accident.
A statement from his office said Aviation Minister Odua was expected to present an interim report to the government as quickly as possible.
The Nigerian leader said every possible effort will be made to ensure that the right lessons are learnt from the tragedy and that further measures will be put in place to boost aviation safety in the country.
Nigeria opens probe into deadly air crash
LAGOS, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Nigeria's aviation authority on Sunday announced the start of an investigation into the crash of a passenger airplane which killed nearly 200 people.
Speaking to reporters here, Harold Demuren, director general of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), said that the investigation into the air crash has begun. Full story

Bassmaster Elite Series pro Jeremy Starks has been in south Texas recently scouting at Lake Falcon for the Elite Series event there in March. However, before he even launched his boat Saturday, he came upon a disturbing scene near a launch ramp involving several horses that appeared to be weak and starving.
He noted a number of horses were already dead while others looked despondent. He walked around the area and saw two game wardens parked nearby, but he was unable to communicate with them before they drove away. He later contacted the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and officials he spoke with referred him to the Zapata County Sheriff's Office, which dispatched a deputy who had to euthanize some of the animals.
Eventually, the landowner was contacted and some hay was brought to the horses, but Starks was unsure how the matter was being dealt with going forward.
Mike Cox, a spokesperson for the TPWD, told BassFan today he was aware of the scene Starks encountered and that the matter is now being handled by Zapata County Sheriff's Office.
"Our primary function is to enforce laws that involve game and fish," he said. "Cruelty to animals and that sort of thing is a crime that's most likely to be worked by a sheriff's office."
Below is Starks' account of what he witnessed and the video he took. He has posted it to his Facebook page as well.
I shot this video while fishing at Falcon Lake yesterday. I was driving to an out-of-the-way ramp and the road turned through a fenced area containing numerous horses. I was appalled to see the condition of these poor animals. They were emaciated beyond belief and had no food available.
It gets much worse. I couldn't believe what I was seeing – there were dead horses lying all around the launch ramp area. Then I spotted the horse in the video. He was so weakened from starvation that he no longer had the strength to get up. Unfortunately, as I surveyed the area I noticed that there were more that could no longer stand. They were looking at me as if to ask for help.
Horses were lying in the sun, unable to help themselves, and dying before my eyes. The story now takes a more sickening turn. As I arrived at the ramp, there were two Game Wardens parked literally feet from dead and dying horses, yet they had done absolutely nothing to help. I tried to catch them as they were leaving but was unable to.
Unsure of whom to call, I started with the Texas Parks and Wildlife. I contacted the supervisor of the two officers and was told that it wasn't their job. The captain said the horses were dying from starvation most likely because of the drought. I explained that there were cattle in the fenced area immediately adjacent to the horses that were fat and healthy and had plenty of food. He was unconcerned.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I then took it further up the chain and spoke with commander Teague. He was understanding and he seemed much more concerned about the situation. He advised me to call the Sheriff. I then called the Zapata Co. Sheriff's Department and a deputy came to humanely put down some of the animals that were beyond saving. The owner was contacted and he brought some hay for the short term. The fate of these poor horses is yet to be determined.
I am still in shock that two officers from the Texas Parks and Wildlife commission ignored these suffering animals. These are the same officers that would gladly write any one of us a fine for not having a light on your boat or a small fish over your limit. If you believe that these horses deserved the respect of these officers, then please share this with everyone you know. Contact the Texas Parks and Wildlife commission at (800) 792-1112 and demand an explanation.

There's alot of young bucks here in this forum and I'd like to hear some key tips some of you guys have learned over the years. They might help us as well.
When I was younger a older guy once told me 90% of all missed birds were shot behind the target. He also said that a "Shotstring (distance from the first shot leaving the barrel to the last) can be anywhere from 7-10 feet. With this info, if you think your too far out in front, believe me by the time the end of the shotstring gets there you won't be.
Most people I've asked think a shotstring is 2ft 3ft long. It is longer than you think. Knowing this over the years has helped me become a better shotgunner.

Brooklynites Turn Out for Gowanus Canal Cleanup Tutorial
More than a hundred Brooklyn residents and business owners attended a public meeting organized by the Environmental Protection Agency to address the proposed Superfund cleanup of the Gowanus Canal.
Part of the plan, EPA officials explained, calls for removing nearly 600,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment, then capping dredged areas. While some of the sediment would be shipped to landfills, business owner Monica Byrne said she needed to know more about the plan to keep some of it in the area.
"What the community's really concerned about is knowing exactly what this material is, how it will be stored, what safety precautions are going to be put into the community before they get the approval to move all this toxic waste to the foot of the neighborhood."
A number of people who attended were excited that after so many years the cleanup was finally set to begin. Betty Stoltz of the group Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus, or FROGG, said she was impressed by the EPA.
"They are really listening to everything we say," she said. "They are not letting politics get in the way of science. I mean, you couldn't ask for much more."
The EPA estimates that the cleanup will cost $467 to $504 million.
Ray Howell, a local activist who's been boating on the canal since the late 90s, said he was largely satisfied with the EPA's plan, but has yet to hear discussion of water quality.
"You should be able to take a bathing suit and go from Coney Island and swim around and come into the Gowanus Canal and not notice a difference in the water."
This was the second of two public meetings, and followed one held on Wednesday night. The EPA will accept public comments on its proposed plan until March 28, 2013.

on my back I have degenerates back disease and a stenosis of the spine .I was called up two day before the surgery and was told I would have to come up with $2500 for the surgery to be done by the Dr. now they had one complete month to tell me this and they waited until two days before surgery to call and tell me that .after I got off the phone with the Texas back institute office I told her I would call her back to see what I could do .I just could not understand this as I have Health Insurance .I called her back the next day and decided to put it on my credit card. it was not an hour later the hospital called me and they proceeded to tell me that I would have to come up with 4500 more dollars and that they had estimated my cost. I explained to the lady that I had Medical Insurance and my deductible was $1500 that's when she began to tell me how I would have to pay all this money up front before the surgery and they would refund the difference. so now were up to $7000 on an estimate and they said as soon as the insurance paid their portion that they would refund my money .I then told her no. so I called the doctor's office back and told them to put the $2500 back on my credit card and I would find me another Dr. She then called me back and told me that they would refund the money and I could make payments on it. I have lived in pain for over four years and when you're desperate for help I agreed to what she said. now what kind of tactics you can call this but this in my eyes is just poor business relationships and patient to Dr. Relationships or a strong arm tactics .this place is a joke I would advise anybody that plans on going to this Dr. or any Dr. At the Texas back institute walk away and find another Dr. Immediately. so just the other day I called to see when they're going to refund my money and the lady in the billing office told me that they would not refund any of my money .so I called my credit card company and stop payment. I
f you're going to this institution I would run as fast as I can to get out of here if you can. Texas back institute and Texas Health center for diagnostic and surgery Plano Texas work together to rip you off. I'm just glad my credit card company works for me or I would probably be screwed. I do not know where this is going from here I still have not receive a itemized bill to see where they got their figures from and the lady in the billing office could not pull it up on her computer screen how convenient is that .like I say consumer beware……

PHNOM PENH, May 16 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia reported 1,500 cases of a new strain of dengue fever in the last twelve months, a Cambodian senior health official said on Wednesday, but no death case has been reported related to such virus.
The Chikungunya, or CHIKV, virus was firstly diagnosed in Cambodia in 1961 and had disappeared from the country for 50 years. Just in May last year, the disease had re-emerged and caused sickness to 1,500 people to date, Dr. Char Meng Chuor, director of the National Center for Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control, told Xinhua.
Since the re-occurrence in last May, the virus spread from provinces bordering Thailand to those bordering Vietnam, including Battambang, Siem Reap, Preah Vihear, Kampong Speu, Kandal and Takeo.
"Preah Vihear has the highest rate of infection, up to 1,041 cases," he said.
"The CHIKV virus has similar symptoms of the fatal dengue fever, but it is less severe than that and does not lead to death," he said, adding that the disease is caused by tiger mosquitoes and often bursts out in rainy season.
The disease causes pain on bones and muscles for a couple of months. However, the treatment of such symptom is relatively easy, compared with the dengue fever, by applying pain killing medicines, heat relief medicine and paracetamol.

Royal College among world's best schools:
by Samangie WETTIMUNY
Being a member of a 'Royal Family' is indeed a matter of great pride.
Upali Gunasekara,
Principal, Royal College, Colombo 7
Anyway seldom do ordinary people get a chance to share their
happiness or victories. But the pride of Royalists was shared by all
when their school was selected as one of the best schools in the world
by Microsoft, on the eve of its 175th anniversary!
"This is not only an achievement for Royal College alone but for the
entire country." says Upali Gunasekera, Principal of Royal College,
"Microsoft is an organization which has penetrated into almost every
household. We can imagine how many schools might have participated in
the first round. This may be the first time a Sri Lankan school reached
this level in a global competition of this nature. In my career I have
not heard of such a competition conducted by this type of a globally
recognized organization."
"There is another reason that all Sri Lankans should be proud of. As
Microsoft announced the list of winners the name of Royal College was on
the top. When we inquired about this we were informally told that we
have topped the list based on evaluation points!"
Throughout its 175 year history Royal College has always been an
ideal haven for students of all races , religions and classes.
Almost every Sri Lankan parent aspires to make their son a Royalist,
but not for everyone that dream comes true. As school sources reveal
Royal College gets the most number of application forms for Grade 1.
best 250 students from all over the country enter the school after Year
5 Scholarship exam. Today with a student population of 8300 and 340
teachers, Royal College stands majestically in the heart of Colombo city
, eager to nurture, mould and shelter Lankan sons for generations to
As one of the key persons who helped compiling the comprehensive
report on Royal College to Microsoft, Upul Jinadasa, General Manager,
Information Technology, South Asia Gateway Terminals (Pvt) Ltd, too had
a lot to say about this unsurpassed achievement. An old boy of Royal
College, parent and Secretary of the School Development Committee
Jinadasa elaborated on the rigid and effective criteria used by the
Global Innovative Education Forum to select the best thirty schools. "
In every country the competition was initially conducted at local level.
Here it was done by our Ministry of Education in co-ordination with
Microsoft Lanka and five schools including Royal College were selected
to represent Sri Lanka in the global competition. Over 104 schools were
shortlisted for the final round out of which thirty were selected. "
While appreciating the continuous encouragement given by President
Mahinda Rajapaksa, Minister of Education Susil Premajayanth and others,
Royal College Principal Upali Gunesekera explained to us how Royal
College became a Global Pathfinder Schools in the Microsoft Partners in
Learning Network following its victory.
As explained by Jinadasa the purpose of Innovative Schools Program is
to provide resources for schools to move beyond the limits of the
classroom and traditional learning methods and to make education more
engaging, inspiring, and relevant to the world in which our students
live and the world they influence for years to come. " It's not about
giving answers; It's about helping find them."
According to Microsoft this is an attempt to bring schools around the
world together. Next they would implement the system of collaborative
learning. "For example if Royal College has employed the best practice
to perform a task let the other schools too share that. If another
school has implemented a better practice than us we can share that."
Royal College is well-known for its use of ICT to make education and
learning more meaningful to students. "But that is not the sole reason
why our school was selected by Microsoft as one of the best schools."
The selection was done by eminent panellists from reputed education
institutions around the world. Though all schools across the globe are
not identical and have to serve the students in a variety of
geographical, cultural, and economic environments, all these schools
have several characteristics in common. Panellists have first looked at
those characteristics- vision for school, distributed leadership,
technology commitment and desire to learn. Evaluation was based on
achievements on academic success, innovative culture, leadership
development, learning community , strategic development planning and
innovative use of ICT. The most prominent feature of this evaluation is
that Microsoft will continue to support the school to review their
systems and adopt best practices over a two-year program.
IT facilities
The school presently has five fully equipped computer labs with
around 250 computers. But at present PC to student ratio is 1 for 32.
"We are going in the right direction. But still our resources are not
sufficient when compared to student needs." says the Principal.
Anyhow the school always attempts to make use of computer facilities
as much as they can in order to give students the maximum benefit.| "
Teachers are given the opportunity to use laptop computers in the class
room. This is also basically a new concept. At present we have around 20
laptop computers. Earlier the students had to go to the computer lab,
but with this new facility children can work on the computer in the
classroom itself.
A scene from the home
Students swipe RFID Card at the
entrance gates to record their attendance
Another noticeable use of modern technology is the introduction of
RFID (Radio Frequency Identity Card). All the students above Grade 3 are
entitled to this special facility. They have to mark their attendance at
the gate as they enter the school in the morning. " In fact this is an
easy way for the parent to find out whether their child had entered the
school premises safely. There is a website to which every parent has
access, so that they can find the exact time their children entered the
school." As the Principal explained this system was specially useful
during past years when there were frequent bomb explosions in the City."
Royal College has also been selected by the Ministry of Education as
the Pilot to implement Interactive White Board (IWB) concept in Sri
Lanka. Since the White board could be used as a computer monitor, it is
no longer necessary to use a projector. Since the College has now
equipped their auditorium with an IWB, a larger number of students could
participate in lectures. " This new technique is used for specialized
lectures in mathematics, science, social studies and English."
Giving students exposure to the latest in ICT is a major aim. The
College has gone to the extent of providing WIFI facilities to students
under the careful scrutiny of school administration. "There is a special
school network which students above Grade 6 can go through. They can
also have interactive communication with teachers and other students
wherever they are." As specially noted by Principal Gunesekera this is
one special instance where Royal College uses technology fearlessly for
the betterment of students in order to keep them in touch with modern
Commenting on the victory, Lakshmi Attygalle, Deputy Principal Royal
College says that Royal College deserves to win as it had used ICT under
the collaborative learning concept from the primary level. " The school
has taken online projects to a higher level whereas children interact
with the rest of the world.
Since 1988, Royal College has pioneered on-line school linkage
projects which are introduced by www.iearn.org in order to allow
students to engage in educational projects with their local and
international peers." As noted by Attygalle the school has opened
avenues for the students in the rest of the country to join hands with
other schools in their `learn' projects.
Head of Science and Maths, S. Illeperuma, too sees the high use of
modern technology as one of the major reasons for this achievement!"
During last five years we tried to get the maximum from the modern
technology. We did not do that in order to win any award, but solely for
the betterment of the school and its students. We wanted to 'equip' our
children with necessary knowledge and talents so that they can face up
to any challenge as they leave school. They will then face no challenge
in both local and global job markets."
Classroom teaching has become easier and more meaningful with the use
of new technology. "Unlike in the past now we can browse the net and get
necessary information. In zoology there is a lesson where students have
to dissect frogs. Now we can get everything on a CD, and go through each
step. Teachers do not have to waste time drawing diagrams again and
again. Also it is now possible to show those models and diagrams
graphically and three dimensionally. Then the students also can get a
better idea of the subject."
Tishya Wickremasinghe, Head Prefect, Royal College says that his
school could win the award as it did not cater only to academic needs of
the students. "Royal helps its students to become balanced people who
are able to face up challenges.
Students browse the net
at the WiFi zone
Another striking quality is that it is with the help of the students
from all three media that we perform all our social work."
Teachers and students of Royal College have reached out to the needy
people in IDP camps. Tamil medium teachers have visited IDP camps to
teach them while students have involved themselves in serious endeavours
to look into their other requirements. As revealed by the Principal they
are supposed to visit IDP camps again in a few days.
Mahima Weerasinghe, Deputy Head Prefect too considers it a great
pride to be part of this victory. He attributes it mainly to the
excellent administrative practices adopted by the principal, other
deputy heads and teachers. Students as well as principal and all others
helped school reach the top most level."
Interactive White Board
(IWB), a new concept in Sri Lanka
As Lal Perera, Assistant Principal - (Finance) says the school could
reach lofty heights because everyone worked with a team spirit.
In order to develop the skills of teachers the college maintains a
specialized Skills Development Centre.
"Teacher training is one of the ways we conduct training sessions to
bring up the level of teachers.
Our intention is to give them a knowledge of best management
practices and motivation-first how to motivate themselves and then to
motivate students. Special mention should be made of Dhammika Kalapuge,
a free lance trainer who has been conducting a series of sessions."
Special leadership programs and opportunities to learn languages are
also available. In April 2009 the school formed its first Gavel club.
Out of 70 clubs and societies, Discussion Forum is significant as
students get a chance to discuss and debate current issues.
Royalists have also assisted Mulleriyawa Hospital to set up a home
garden. As the school agriculture teacher Swarna Premarathna says , it
was done for the benefit of patients upon the request of the then
medical officer in charge. | "We are happy to see patients actively
engaged in gardening which of course is significant to improve their
mental condition. Also now the hospital has set up a fund of
One of the computer
Royalists also maintain a home garden in their own school premises
and now are about to do a paddy field in Malambe usinig traditional
"Royalists cannot rest on their laurels." concludes Principal Upali
Gunesekera with a voice imbued with seriousness. " At the end of the
first year we are supposed to go through a process of change." A new
program for school development had been launched by the Ministry of
Education even prior to this victory. The intention is to bring all
stakeholders together for a major discussion about the problems faced by
the school. "This is done within the framework of Government Education
The emphasis is on making a 'complete' person with knowledge, skills
and values. "Prior to the commencement of subject lessons, a few minutes
are devoted to discuss about some matters of value.It is the intention
of Royalists to move forward breaking economic and social barriers and
creating a process for positive change.
The opportunities Royal College offers to all the Sri Lankan students
to their wings and minds in the ongoing journey of self-definition and
identity will be strengthened even further in the coming years.

text: When I go to do a 3-point turn to get out of my little street, if I turn the wheel all the way to the right or to the left, my car makes a terrible squealy belt noise. Should I be concerned about this? I replaced all of my belts not too long ago, did they just not tighten the power steering belt? (There is such a thing as a power steering belt, right? Heh.)

rear ends
How do you determine the gear ratio of a rear end if you are not able to take the rear-end apart.
If you have neither of the above, raise the rear axle off the ground and turn the wheel(s) by hand. Notice the number of revolutions of the rear flange (u-joint) as compared to one full turn of the wheel. This will give you a close idea of the ratio (i.e. if the rear flange turns three times as the wheel turns one full revolution, you have a 3.00 to 1 ratio).
Also while turning the wheel, if both wheels turn in the same direction, you have a locking rear. If the wheels turn opposite directions, then you have a open rear.
Thank you for the info, that was my problem I didn't have the tag on the rear end, I will try the idea of turning the wheels. I will try to find the parts you are inquiring about, I have a friend that has a lot of old ford parts.
Thanks again "Railrodder'" :)

We had a lovely bus ride over to Iraklio along the northern coast of Crete. When we arrived the city was lit up showcasing it's rock wall and ancient sites. It was a nice view against the water. Like many places we have been, we had found ourselves another large city. We found ourselves a room as close as we could to the water, yet close to the bus station.
We woke up early and headed back to the bus station. Our task was to explore the Minoan site at Knossos. I had read about it and unfortunately began to visualize it in my mind. This is never a good thing. When my mind is blank I am always pleasantly surprised and appreciative. For some reason I had an idea of what the past Minoan site would look like.
An archeologist by the name of Evans had made this place his lifelong project. He uncovered a great amount of history of the Minoan culture and added his own research with it to recreate parts of a palace just outside of Iraklio.
It was neat to think just how long this place had been in existence. Much of the finding dates back to 2000 years before Christ. I am unsure of the timeline of history, but it was certain that a group of people lived here many years ago. It sparked my interest in the culture and my desire to know more about this world I live in.
Crete is packed with ancient archeological sites. It seems this place has been home to many types of people for many years. Paul and Titus worked here spreading the gospel of Christ. It was neat to read about the Crete of Bible times while being on the island. Some of the words still apply and others we are not sure of their progress.
We had decided to head to Matala, we thought it was a beach resort town with a lovely beach that we had read about
When we arrived at the bus station we had missed the bus so we had to wait a few hours for the next one. We walked by the coast and found a place to eat our lunch we had packed. It was a lovely view and a nice time to sit and talk. We talked about our confusion about what we will do when we get back to America and prayed and read the Bible. We definitely need some clarity. One day it seems we are making strides, but then we seem to find ourselves in a whirlwind of confusion. Basically all we know is that we want to be used by God, but can't seem to figure out the best way to make that happen. So we will keep waiting for wisdom and guidance from Him.
After our lovely picnic we hopped on a bus to come to the beach. We arrived a few hours later, laughing at ourselves. This is not the way the travel books describe Matala, but we will survive.

Does your business have a bad reputation?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
This report is for the purpose of alerting anyone seeking employment with Toyota of Easley and what you can expect when you work there. The title of this is called "Watch Your Back Jack." On the surface, Toyota of Easley seems very professional, which was one of the main reasons that I enjoyed working there at first, yet what you will come to realize is that this is a "sh#t rolls down hill" environment and one where the ownership only shows care for their employees in what their employees can do to profit them. The ownership has very little concern for the overall welfare of the people working for them. The senior partner is an owner/operator, which means that he is involved in the sales department daily. This is a man in his late 60s - late 70s that might be described as "old school." What this means is that he will try to bully and brow beat you until he knows whether you have the fortitude to still kiss up to him. If you are not one to be easily pushed, then you will not easily be accepted by him. "Volatile" is a gentle word for him. In fact, the management counsels the employees to "just stay clear of him" and "if you see him coming, then head the other way."
One of the other major disappointing things here is the favoritism to certain employees. There are always "house deals," which are sales that come from friends of the owners or management. Each month, the owners give the majority of these deals to one person. That one person does very little work otherwise. If you don't mind kissing up, taking abuse or working hard while others reap more reward for less work, then this is the place for you. In the end, I was fired because they found out that I was looking for other work and they dredged up every negative from the 2 years that I worked there so that they wouldn't have to pay my unemployment. These are really NOT nice people.

I don't know why I am so swellon because I don't work I mean I do house things, but I don't work outside the home. I have 2 other kids 6 and 3. I don't have gestatinal diabetes or anything like that. So is there any way other than putting your feet up for the swelling to go down? My husband and my sister even was able to tell my feet and ankles were swollen.

FTSE 100 pares its revenues
On Monday, British shares came off session peaks, with the blue-chip benchmark rebounding from another potential year's peak, following data confirming heavy deterioration in the UK's manufacturing activity in the wake of the Brexit vote.
Today, the FTSE 100 gained just 1 point, being worth 6,725.13, having risen 0.7%. Earlier the index had traded above its 2016 closing peak of 6,750.43, July 27.
On Friday, the index closed higher by 0.1%. for July it grew 3.4%, though slipped 0.1% the previous week.
On Monday, the benchmark drifted to its intraday minimum right after a mediocre showing of July manufacturing activity data. Its purchasing managers' index sank to 48.2, which is the lowest value since February 2013. It was down from a preliminary, flash reading of 49.1, and an outcome below 50 stands for contraction.
As for the only saving grace for manufacturing, demand is normally more price responsive than for services, and it benefits exporters in the wake of the deterioration in the British pound.

Man airlifted after being hit by runaway car in Stourbridge
A man was airlifted to hospital after a car rolled off a driveway and ran over his leg.
Paramedics were called to Roman Road in Norton, Stourbridge, today.
The man, in his 30s, was airlifted to hospital with a lower leg injury, which was bleeding heavily.
Claire Brown, West Midlands Ambulance spokeswoman, said: "Ambulance crews worked as a team to administer pain relief to the man whilst applying pressure to the wound to stem the bleeding.
"They then used specialised dressings to bandage the wound to stop the bleeding before immobilising his leg.
"The man was then placed into a scoop stretcher before being airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham for further emergency treatment."
The crash happened just before 11.45am.

Butch Opens the show discuss the Patriots and how well the first team played against Tampa Friday night. Tom Brady was dialed in showing no signs of injurying his knee earlier in the week. Butch discusses the impact of Danny Amendola, the running game and the young wide receiving core.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Happy Sunday evening to all of you here on this middle of August Sunday August 18. On WEEI hi everybody I'm what Stearns. Christian arcane given the sports flashes Dan -- out taking your phone calls. -- waning handling all the logistics over here at Fenway and that's where we are we are alive at Fenway Park. Four hours before game time of the Red Sox. And the Yankees. Are doing out there everybody. Sunday night for clock winding down your weekend. This part of the weekend is always Sunday nights for us nine to fibers. And -- wasn't kind of fiber but now I am it's always a depressing isn't it. Because you turn the page trying to squeeze the last. Fun out of the weekend. -- debt Monday morning wake up call looming. Some earlier than others for some of us. For those of you like to get up to work out early which -- Get in the habit of doing now lately don't know why. Actually I do no -- you can Alter but anyway -- it got that Sunday night healing and then with it being August. Whether we like it or not and you can debate on this would love you to debate me on this. But if you're a Memorial Day to Labor Day new Englander. Here's -- I mean the unofficial or official start of summer his Memorial Day -- might have better weather before that in April rarely. Are beginning in May rarely. But Memorial Day starts the summer well Labor Day -- Okay Labor Day and you got a boat you think your shrink wrapped and you got to pull you think gonna cover and it he might try to milk it. Right through Thanksgiving cause we're gonna have an Indian summer. He might play golf all the way through to December because he had an Indian summer native American summer to be politically correct. But. Let's face it there -- two weeks left in this summer so what does that mean from a sports perspective. Well for those of you been hanging -- -- cook out -- and Ellis Stanley had a big family cook out yesterday. My good friend Marianne Longo invited the entire Stearns -- Donna -- beach constituents have no idea. Why she invited our entire -- she's not to do that. But we are gracious that she did and now I think she's rethinking it -- be left. -- the dog our dog big black lab and everybody went down to her place we had a blast thank you Marianne. But it shouldn't have met a lot of different people I had met a foreign of course that. The talk came to the Red Sox and patriots. Who were playing. On Friday night and about new England sports and so a couple of things came to the forefront here. I think everybody. Is waiting for the other shoe to drop with a Red Sox and I think I've been hearing it more and more for the last month. So my question -- -- tonight to start everything off his back. Are you waiting for the other shoe to drop -- these Red Sox and if so why. Because if you are you're one of two kinds of people you're a long time Red Sox fan that despite all the success. Since feeling the trio took over. And now abandoned and John Farrow elect at the Helm since all the successes to two World Series championships since all of it. You're still can't get you the little kid to putting him on the fire. You're waiting for the ball to go through partners legs the pudge -- home run is great is it was is not one -- -- defining moments in Red Sox history. So you just can't change even though we saw those two parades. Even though we saw them win those World Series you just can't change. If you're in another category you're one of those people waiting for the shooter drop we just don't really believe in this team. He'll look at these teaming you say. Or seven a career year. Ortiz -- haven't really good year Pedroia. No haven't really good -- -- not career year. Any of the pitchers having a career year. Buchholz was still he was out. Lester no -- well we're just getting to know yet Lackey -- by the way I agree with Steve Buckley line in his column today he has redefined the term. And I -- common front and it was some to the effect of redefined the term. I've deceptive according to his record -- pitching better than his record and that is so true -- and an ERA under four. A losing record with 810. But last night the latest example. Of that if you needed an -- right now -- your race. So no he's having a career year so when you have to wait for that other shoe to drop -- considerate on my chest. As -- here in center field at Fenway as the buzz start to pick up for the latest Red Sox yankees drama. And there is drama yankees not so much involved -- standings perspective we'll get to that. But if you're waiting for the other shoe to drop that maybe just don't believe in this team and maybe it's because. That despite their 21 games over 500 record 73 and 52. Okay. Despite their lead in the American League east for those BR. Of -- down the stretch there two games up. With 37 to go to games -- Tampa Bay Rays and by the way since the rays lit. The world on fire they've had trouble maintaining it they're riding a roller coaster right now. Christian -- -- keep you updated on the scores from today in -- it's going -- that the red sucked at 37 games to go or two games up. A lot of you'll wait for the other shoe to drop could you just don't believe in this team and again I'm not gonna criticize you. I think you do have to decide as a Red Sox and for your own sanity do you believe or do you not. But if you don't. Let's just talk since the all star break. They have played 28 games since the all star break any good 21 games over 500. They're pretty ordinary team since the all star break -- fifteen and thirteen. They're two games over 500. Very late in their last sixteen. I mentioned the numbers by month because I've been saying this all summer what's been remarkable about this team is its resiliency. And it's consistency. It's resiliency latest example John Lackey and this team yesterday. They are the only team in baseball who is not lost more than three in a row -- -- say that again. They are the only team in the major leagues today. As great as the tigers look right now the Dodgers look unbeatable but cardinals about a magical year. The Boston Red Sox are the only team in baseball who have not lost more than three in a row they could've done yesterday. Lackey went to the mound spawn a gem did not plunking Iraq in the air like we all wanted him to do. And the Red Sox still have not lost more than three in a row. They were eighteen and eight and April 10 over they play 500 ball and made it was six games over about a 500 June at seventeen and eleven. They were fifteen and ten in July and right now and August with twelve games to go very Nate. So. What's it gonna be the last 37 games I've always said the magic number of 95 in my mind. -- -- the Red Sox to be -- get in the playoffs and ideally when the division and not played that one game playoff they don't win 95 games wolf I'm right. They get to 22 and fifteen down the stretch they -- play seven games over 500 shall get a -- one of those people waiting for the other shoe to drop. When -- played seven games over 500 right now. They're two games over 500 since the all star break. Yet -- picked up Jake Peavy -- made me happy and a lot of other people happy I still like it I think it'll be. Key factor down the stretch not the factor. But the Detroit Tigers are the best team in the American League. And there are other good teams in the American League to the the Red Sox have faced upstarts down the stretch Oakland a's might be one of the best to. So where are you -- the Red Sox as summer has two weeks left are you expecting. An Indian summer swarmed I didn't play under 500 baseball with 37 games left to play. Because right now Tampa Bay Baltimore and certainly not the Yankees none of -- overwhelming them. An overwhelming the Red Sox on tonight's game. He's a good one as a matter of perspective because think about it he always we always has Red Sox fans add weight to what significance every game. But here we are with the Red Sox about to finish a little spot. A layover if you will at Fenway. Before they came off a long road trip. And underwhelming road trip they went -- six and about to head out on another road trip. That goes to separate Cisco and LA with the Dodgers six games out west. Against two really good pitching staffs and gets the hottest team in baseball again they'll beyond next Sunday night I'll be back here at 4 o'clock next Sunday. As they take on the Dodgers so where are you with a Red Sox if they win tonight. They're nine and eight in August their game more or 500 there you go there's a consistency. They just keep winning baseball game winning series the other thing is they win this series to go to eight and four against the Yankees went another series against the Yankees. For whatever that means in -- 2013 season always means something for bragging rights and his longtime rivalry. So it is a significant game tonight it's also significant because Ryan Dempster. Is the one guy that everybody says well he he's got to correct rotation. You know when Buchholz comes back Dempster goals well. -- all the guys in a picture up and down by the way do Bronson too bad start tomorrow. Lester continues to be roller coaster ride who knows he's gonna get from Bockwoldt all the signs are good he'll be back soon. Peavy too good outing one bad. Bomb again Dempster has pitched pretty well pretty consistent. He won a good effort tonight going against a better picture. CC sabathia just -- better pitcher in his -- not sure about this year so it's a big game tonight so your thoughts about tonight then what do I think elect throughout there. Phone lines are lit up before we go to the calls. Is the football part of it and here's what I mean by that football. NFL. And patriots. Why is it in my opinion football has taken over baseball and every other sport in this country as the number one. Sport the NFL might be one of professional football might be one of the best run industries in this entire country. We continue to see increased attendance. May not -- increased enthusiasm increased. Following. Increased revenue streams and and it just gets more popular and then the patriots so why is it that. We love football so much why we love the NFL so much and what is it -- our affection with the patriots -- in my 31 word answers in all of it. Football. Because it's easy to -- It's just easy left the game is easy to love you can picture yourself what your man -- a woman. What he played the game or not you pick yourself -- on -- helmet stick in your chest your face in somebody's chest she just can't. The violence of a controlled violence is something. There's something. What's the word -- romantic about. Or are hypnotic about it if you played the game you know what I mean the NFL while fantasy football. I have not been to a diner. A lunch place get gas. Without somebody in one or two of those places every single time bringing up a fantasy football draft army bringing it up and somebody biting. By doing anybody have a number one pick in not taking Adrian Peterson really -- so busy NFL and then the patriots what was there's one simple answer Tom Brady. Tom Brady is Bobby -- is Larry Bird is special and with Tom Brady everything is possible I am having more fun. Watching him rise to the next challenge with no gronkowski and three rookie receivers. This is behind the can we stop taking this for granted if we do I think we bill. We shouldn't so your thoughts about all this let's hear from some of the combatants before we go to the calls for example John Lackey. At the Red Sox need an ace down the stretch who is -- right now but John Lackey here's Lackey after yesterday's game. Yeah those big big game for sure we need to and it went kind of a tough stretch of schedule right now heading back out -- West Coast after tomorrow also. There was time to get -- -- -- moved. -- can't -- to your report. And so that's John Lackey and now let's hear from what's going on fox borrow how out quick check on the patriots right now you wonder what the Brady should have played. Good article today by John Tomas he's saying he can't afford not to play. Tom Brady's got rookie receivers where do you worry about his health or not but it is a chicken and the egg -- Belichick last year -- Adam some pre season games here's Belichick after the game Friday. Talking about the patriots first units. You know growing out wolf that look terrible closely -- government bills to -- movable man. Could see him you know -- production access we have a lot of plays on offense and first. -- -- first group and then quite a few plays and those two minute drives at the end that we kind of 22 minute Dresser in the second quarter. So you know where they get a lot of most snaps with the whole second unit. And then you get Tom Brady who. Was eleven of twelve. After we had this scared led every newscast at 6 o'clock Brady went down Brady went down. Probably leaders -- red ribbon Brady's down I mean it was a low one goal lead story and all the newscasts right. So he had all that but -- Eagles eleven to twelve -- 106 yards candidate. For those of us who loved Wes Welker. We're starting to not worry so much about as Wes Welker because of a guy named Danny Amendola here's Amendola on Brady. And works really hard it's you know -- the job done by the time and a place of good and you know I guess and we got a lot of frustrations here in -- and are receiving room and we're just now turning on the same page. And then Amendola with the six catches. Talking about fitting in with -- -- -- talking about what makes Brady special keep in mind now. In Mandela and Brady worked out all off season together. They're joined at the -- Brady did his part in solidity Amendola to try less and all the history the -- and Wes Welker had which is going to be hard. But we're starting to see some of the fruits of the -- his Amendola in his opinion what makes Tom Brady special. Tell each other in the field you know we notice every intricacies of the offense in he else you guys analyze and you know he's a leader. So there you -- table is set. Now Walter Bob and Costa you guys are up first we're gonna take a quick break to -- able to enjoy Alice taking your phone calls Christian art came leaving the sports flashes. We're at Fenway Park -- getting ready for Red Sox and yankees' CC sabathia. And Ryan Dempster on the mound tonight. Game. Number 126. For the Red Sox and for those of you cross and it off the list on your frigid later. We're back with more after this.

Despite Tragic Incident, Horse Competition Continued
By Gavin Johnson, WCJB TV20 News
An international horse competition continued today in Ocala. After a tragic accident, left many stunned.
For three years, The Florida Horse Park in Ocala has been the site of The Florida International Three Day horse riding tournament. On Saturday, Eleanor Brennan a native of Virginia, was riding her horse when it stumbled at a jump. The horse tumbled onto its neck and landed on Brennan, killing both brennan and her horse. Tom Warriner, Chairman, for The Florida Horse Park, says, "It's dishearting, I'm not an eventer. But I've come to know quite a few of them and admire not only their spirit, but their guts."
In honor on Eleanor Brennan, flags at the florida horse park flew at half staff. There was also a moment of silence.
