New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - January 6, 1999, New Braunfels, Texas N EW eW^lbjFELS J J c ti 0 o g j / p p / Cj ;WES7 micropublirh- ! Y(INI)FLL DP NG "W" "W*Herald-Zeitung Vol, 148, No. 34 16 pages in 2 sections January 6, 1999 We pne spay Serving Comal CountY since 1852 50 cents Clinton's impeachment trial to begin ThursdaySenate leaders unclear on length of trial or if witnesses will be called WASHINGTON (AP)—President Clin-tonls impeachment trial will begin Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott said Tuesday, although agreement eluded party leaders on the length of the proceeding or whether witnesses will be summoned to the Senate chamber to testify. "It has to be done not only expeditiously, but fairly" Lott said after meeting with Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle and Chief Justice William H. Relinquish who will preside over a trial unlike any other in the past 130 years. With the 106th Congress scheduled to convene Wednesday, fresh criticism surfaced among Republicans over a bipartisan proposal for a truncated proceeding as short as a week, and the likelihood grew of a longer trial. The uncertainty persisted as the Senate's senior Democrat, Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, said that on the final vote on the articles of impeachment, "I could go either way based on the evidence as I've seen it or heard it. And I've followed it pretty closely," he added in an interview on C-SPAN." Byrd's comments represented the first CLINTON indication that any of the 45 Democrats in the Senate might vote to convict Clinton and remove him from office. Despite efforts to create an atmosphere of bipartisanship in the first presidential impeachment trial since 1868, there were clear differences between the parties. According to Senate sources who spoke on condition of anonymity, Lott said in closed-door meetings during the day that following Thursday's largely ceremonial events, he wants opening arguments presented the following Monday by representatives of the House and the White House. Separately, Sen. Larry Craig, R-ldaho, a member of the GOP leadership, said he envisioned giving each side three or four days to present its evidence. Each could then submit a list of witnesses for the Sen ate to subpoena, subject to a vote. "I am not at all worried about a two-to-three week process that could take us into mid-February," Craig said. But Daschle, who agreed the ceremonial opening was likely for Thursday, told reporters his preference was for no witnesses. He also said that simply starting the trial without a defined plan for proceeding would be an "invitation to a prolonged process that would take weeks if not months, probably months." Still, it was a measure of the uncertainty surrounding the historic event that Daschle told reporters at days' end neither he nor Lott would be presenting formal proposals in separate closed-door caucuses of Senate Democrats and Republicans. AP U.S. Sen. Trent Lott. R-Miss., said Tuesday that hearings on the impeachment would begin Thursday. School voucher issue sailing quickly toward showdown in Austin By Heather Todd Staff Writer Supporters and opponents of taxpayer-funded school vouchers are bracing themselves for a fierce battle when the 76th State Legislature convenes its session next Tuesday. With students' futures and public education dollars at stake, proposed voucher bills are shaping up to be the most hotly debated and closely watched issue of the legislative session. Senate Education Committee Chairman Teel Bivins, R-Amar-illo, is making another attempt to pass a limited voucher program that would test the effectiveness of taxpayer-funded school vouchers for private school tuition in six large urban counties. The voucher bill outlines a five-year plan that would allow economically disadvantaged students or those who attend low-performing public schools in Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio school districts to use a taxpayer-funded voucher to attend any public or private school of their choice. New Braunfels Independent School District Superintendent Ron Reaves said the argument that school vouchers would save taxpayer dollars was a misconception that caused confusion within the public. "We need to ask ourselves, do we want to use tax dollars to pay for educating students in public, private, and home schooling situations?'' Reaves said. Statewide response Jim Windham, chairman of Texas Business Leaders for Educational Choice and vice-chairman of the pro-voucher group Putting Children First, said the voucher proposal was aimed at improving the quality of educa- b REAVES don in public schools. "One way to help improve public education is to introduce competition and force public schools to respond to the loss of students. Schools will be forced to make the necessary corrections and elevate public education to a position of excellence," Windham said. However, Carolyn Boyle, spokeswoman for the Coalition for Public Schools, an organization opposed to school vouchers, said a voucher program of any kind would hurt more than help Texas students. "Voucher programs would take away money from public schools for tuition at private schools and would force public schools to cut budgets and programming when they are already under-funded," Boyle said. Boyle said voucher programs introduced an important public policy issue by giving tax dollars to schools that discriminate against students. "Private schools can discriminate against who they admit, and it's not appropriate to provide tax money to schools that can pick and choose," she said. Local response Although voucher propositions have focused mainly on large metropolitan areas, many local educators aff iliated with both private and public schools have joined in the fray. There are 350,000 students in private or parochial schools in Texas and 150,000 students are home schooled throughout the state, which would result in $1 See VOUCHERS Inside Abby................................5A Business.............................SA Classifieds.....................5-6B Comics...............................7A Crossword..........................5A Forum.................................4A Local..................................2A Obits...................................3A Sports..............................BA Today................................2A Television...........................7AGarden Ridge grapples with cable television service tonight By Heather Tooo Staff Writer Garden Ridge City Council will consider tonight the pros and cons of transferring the city's existing cable television franchise from TCI Communications, Inc. to Time Warner, Inc. Council will meet during a regular session at 7 p.m. at the Garden Ridge Municipal Court Building, 8357 Schoenthal Road. Time Warner Inc. representatives were sched-Meeting Who: Garden Ridge City Council What: Consider approval of resolution to transfer the city's existing cable television franchise When: 7 tonight Where: Municipal Court Building, 8357 Schoenthal Road. uled to talk about how the transfer would affect cable service. Garden Ridge residents currently are served by TCI Cablevision of Texas, Inc., based in San Marcos. Mike Castro, city administrator, said TCI recently merged with Time Warner Inc., a Portland, Ore.-based cable franchise, in November 1998 after several months of merging with other cable operators. Castro said (he two cable operators were in the process of swapping cable systems within various communities as a result of the meiger. 'TCI agreed to swap cable service with Time Warner, but they need the city's permission to switch the cable system to Time Warner, Inc. ownership, so it's being brought before the council," Castro said. The city of New Braunfels, which also is served by TCI, will consider renegotiating its contract with Time Warner in the next few months, said Mike Shands, New Braunfels city manager. "There has been no discussion of rate changes, but if renegotiating with Time Warner is advantageous to cable system users and the city, then we'll probably stay with them," Shands said. "It would be nice if we had some kind of competition against Time Warner to consider, but it's hard to find someone who will come rn," he said. Shands said the city had not beenSee CABLE/5A Officials want county's rivers ready for recreation by April I By Chris Crews Staff Writer Local leaders hope to have the Guadalupe and Comal rivers cleared of debris by April I but are waiting on word about when clean up will begin. New Braunfels and Comal County have entered into agreements for the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service to contract and administer cleanup of river channels and banks. Under the agreements, the federal government will bid the contracts for the projects and pay 75 percent of the costs. The city has committed $500,000 to the projected $2 million project while the county will spend $250,000 and the federal government will contribute $750,000. County Engineer Tom Homseth said, "Most (cities and counties) choose the NRCS because they have more experience in this area and have people working nationwide on projects like this." Homseth said NRCS had worked on flood and hurricane recovery projects and was more familiar with the equipment and the companies capable of doing the work. Homseth and New Braunfels City Manager Mike Stiands said they waived the normal 30-day bidding period to expedite the process of getting the rivers cleaned. Both said the last word they got from the federal agencies was that bids would go out in mid-January and awarded near the end of the month. "We should have the contracts signed sometime this month," Homseth said.

"That may require the contractor to have multiple crews working cm different sections of the river," Homseth said.

Be interested to know if anyone has ridden both Kysrium SLs and these and how they compare...
A rather nice surprise turned up in the post today in the form of these Pro 3 RS-SP5.0 Carbon Hope Hoops.
Famous in off-road circles for their moving, stopping, steering and seeing components the northern brake, hub, headset, stem and light creationists are adding to their range of prebuilt MTB wheels and sneaking into the peloton with a selection of road hoops.
One down from the top-of-the-heap full-carbon-rimmed tubular wheels are these catchily named Pro 3 RS-SP5.0s which have an everyday-cyclist friendly alloy clincher braking surface built into the 50mm deep-section 3K carbon aero rim, super stiff and aerodynamic the aero section is a structural part rather than just an add-on fairing as found on some other wheels.
Angled drillings on the dedicated 20 hole front and 24 hole rear rims are used for better alignment of the Sapim CX Ray SP aero spokes allowing truer building with the internally hidden Polyax alloy nipples and promote a longer life, or so say Hope who hand lace, build and finish all the wheels in house at their Barnoldswick factory.
Spinning in the middle is the brand new Pro3 SP hub, the straight pull flange further adding to the stiff construction, and a clean low profile look. The 4 pawl 24t engagement freewheel mechanism and stainless steel bearings are the same well proven and long-lived internals that have made Hope hubs famous and favoured around the mountain bike world and the alloy freehub body is available in either Shimano or Campagnolo fit. Weights on the kitchen scales are 1079g for the rear and 936g for the front without the skewers you'll have to supply yourself, and the wallet says £900.
For those of a less spendy bent or are shy of carbon, Hope offer the Pro 3 RS-3.0 Aero, the same Pro3 SP hub and Sapim CX Ray SP spokes as their top-dollar wheelsets but laced onto a 30mm alloy aero section rim with 24 hole rear and 20 hole front drilling at £350 a pair. Or there's the entry-level Pro 3 RS-Mono wheelset; the benchmark Mavic Open Pro rim and Sapim Sprint spokes hand laced, machine build and hand finished in house onto the Mono Pro 3 hub for 300 notes.
As soon as the Campag. freehub turns up we'll be putting these on the road bike, and then we're allowed to put the Shimano freehub back on and bolt them onto the 'cross bike. This could be fast fun.

I guess its a trade off between weight & aero benefits. I wonder how fast you have to ride to make these worth the weight penalty? I ride mainly on the somerset levels & the Mendips - I cant decide whether I would be better off with light wheels for the climbs or aero wheels for the flats..
I ride mainly on the somerset levels & the Mendips - I cant decide whether I would be better off with light wheels for the climbs or aero wheels for the flats..
gotta love those levels. i'm sure the hopes would be just the ticket for the Glastonbury-Wedmore run! love that road. nasty kick at the end though.
The recent tour of Flanders is a good example of a flattish ride with some nasty climbs, and what do the pros do? everything from skinny rims to semi deeps and most stations in between. so the peloton can't decide either, it seems. Cancellara won it on semi deeps...

"She was a really happy kid, always smiling, and her sister was easily her best friend."
The father of a 15 year old girl who died in a car accident on Mother's Day is speaking out about dangers of the intersection she was killed at.
Katelynn was killed in a two vehicle accident on the Haney Bypass last Sunday.
Her father Jeff says the intersection – near Callaghan Avenue – is not at all a controlled and is extremely dangerous.
"Just standing there on the side of the road was scary, just seeing how messed up that intersection is. There is so much traffic coming down the Haney Bypass at Lougheed Highway that there's rarely any openings for people to turn left."
Struchtrup is hoping to appeal to the city of Maple Ridge to install lights or a stop sign at the intersection.
The accident is still being investigated by Ridge Meadows RCMP, and they are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
Before Katelynn was taken off life support earlier this week, her family made the difficult decision to donate some of her organs.
Her father says he is glad some good can come out of this tragic situation.
"To be able to do this was a gift for me and the families, like something good will come out of this so."
The fifteen year old's kidneys and liver helped save the lives of three other patients.

We characterized the structural and mechanical changes after experimental digestion of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (s-GAGs) in the human posterior sclera, using ultrasound thickness measurements and an inflation test with three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC). Each scleral specimen was first incubated in a buffer solution to return to full hydration, inflation tested, treated in a buffer solution with chondroitinase ABC (ChABC), then inflation tested again. After each test series, the thickness of eight locations was measured. After enzymatic treatment, the average scleral thickness decreased by 13.3% (p < 0.001) and there was a stiffer overall stress–strain response (p < 0.05). The stress–strain response showed a statistically significant increase in the low-pressure stiffness, high-pressure stiffness and hysteresis. Thus, s-GAGs play a measurable role in the mechanical behaviour of the posterior human sclera.

There's this gay kid in my class. I think he likes me. He think he's subtle but I know he's been shooting staring glares at me all day. Maybe he's grateful I saved his ass this morning.
I sighed. Why did I did it? I was planning on staying discreet here. I was tired of moving around every few months or so... Such a hassle.
In the background the professor drones on about history lessons. I knew it already so I just raised the volume of my headphones until his voice was drowned out by heavy metal. With the boy not looking at me now, so I eyed him up this time.
He looked average. Medium brown hairs, blue-green eyes. I'm surprised people can call him out of a crowd. His clothes didn't help. He was wearing an ugly old hoodie and his hair formed a tangled mess of wavy light brown knots.
I could tell he wasn't feeling well. But he didn't want help. He's fine he said. The teacher calls me out, surely because I'm not listening. I answered his question without looking at him. Next to me, a girl babbles incessantly about nothing.
I'd shut her up, but I know she's not really there. There's no one sitting there at the moment. That girl, she's just a memory imprinted on the room, probably from the previous classes. I raise the volume again, to the point it makes my head hurt and throbs. But it's still better than listening to the ghosts chatters.
Music is one of the few thing that let me shut them off and I can't just light up at school.
Doctor and psychiatrist said I'm having delusions. That I'm suffering from a minor case of schizophrenia. Personally, I think they're the one who are insane and deluded. How can they not see all this stuff?
Absently, as I gazed out the window, I turned the page of the history book, remembering the thoughts of those who had previously read it.
If I'm nuts, how can I do that and actually know the correct answers? Whatever. It wasn't like I ever accepted to take the drugs. My head's fine, it's theirs that need recalibration.
Outside, I see the gay guy's angst, a ghost of the memories of this morning. He stands motionless in phantomatic rain, the sky had cleared early in the afternoon, he was trying to gather the strength to come in... I gazed back to the class.
One of the jocks was throwing paper ball at him. Immature idiot. The kid who's name I didn't know doesn't react to the volley of projectiles, he just keeps on listening to the professor.
I sigh again deeply. Should I help him?
It's twenty to four. Twenty minutes left until the day is over and I can do what I want to. "I shouldn't get into trouble. That kid need to learn to defend himself." I try to justify myself.
"But who'll show him how?" my conscience asks.
"Fine..." I mutters to myself.
Discreetly, I grab and toss my erased at the jock's temple. His head twitch with the impact and I give him a snarky smile as he stares at me, anger in his eyes and thick skull. I know he'll come back at me for it. I'll be looking forward to it, I've been wanting an outlet to let frustration out.
Finally, the bell rings and the student begins leaving. With me first, despite the fact I sat in the back of the class. I have work to do now.

| yukitenshixxx chapter 1 . 5/21/2012
hay there! So...Finally, I had to wait long for that one to be uploaded. ;p can't wait for the other one.
Just a tip here and there, in overall you need more detail; that makes the story read more fluently and better. For example add some descriptions of the places they are, go deeper into the feelings they are having or something like that. this also makes that you get a better balance between text and dialogue. your story line is great, love the protective Tezuka. and the fact that he let Fuji sleep in his arms when he was sick.
I also liked the part where Fuji asks why Tezuka is blushing and he just ignores Fuji. :p
Btw. Why I'm doing this in english and not in dutch, have no idea. :p
But you know me, I'm absolutly normal so there must be some logical reason for it. (cough cough)
yeeeeaaah...I'm hyperactive at the moment, sorry for babling. ;p
until the next story! hint hint.

The work of one of Azerbaijan's leading artists, at the centre of an embarrassing dispute at the prestigious Venice Art Biennale, has been removed from the festival after the country's President apparently intervened to say the works were distasteful.
Two of Aidan Salakhova's sculptures have been removed from the Azerbaijani Pavilion at the glamorous international art event in a move that has been criticised in the art world.
Sources in Venice said the decision to ban the works was taken by Azerbaijan's authoritarian President, Ilham Aliyev.
The two works in question are marble sculptures. One is a representation of the Black Stone of Mecca, an Islamic religious relic, in a vagina-shaped frame, while the other depicts a woman who is fully cloaked in a black veil.
Earlier, officials and curators at the pavilion had suggested that the sculptures were covered up because they had been damaged in transit. But yesterday the curator of the Azerbaijani Pavilion, Beral Madra, admitted the truth. "I was informed that the Ministry of Culture has found Salakhova's two sculptures [were] controversial to the prestige of the country," she said.
Ms Salakhova declined to comment yesterday, but Ms Madra blasted the government in Baku for its decision. "In my 25 years of curating... I have never experienced this kind of conflict," she said.

GBP/USD: down to lows again
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
If the first half of the previous week was marked by quite an optimim in the market, the 1.5775/80 resistance has put an end to the short-term recovery of the pair. At the end of the week, the prices tumbled to the lows of two weeks ago, into the 56th figure area, that are in the negative zone now, under the four-hour Ichimoku cloud.
The Ichimoku indicator is again fully pro-bears: the cloud is extending downwards, the Tenkan and Kijun lines have formed a dead cross.
Oscillators look rather pessimistic, which confirms the bearish pressure increase.
Therefore, short positions are likely to prevail in the near future.
Technical levels: support – 1.5610; resistnace – 1.5680, 1.5700.
Trade recommendations:
1. Sell — 1.5670; SL — 1.5700; TP1 — 1.5610; TP2 — 1.5570.

Hello Jim,
You have native Hepatica growing in the woods near you. Same here. Not
the Japanese, of course. Probably either acutiloba or americana...the sharp
lobe or round lobe hepatica. Name have recently been changed, incidentally,
but these are the ones you will probably find them under if you do a search.
Speaking of... there is an article on one of the species on my web site
under Garden Clippin's newsletter.
I am constantly amazed that so little attention is paid to our two
natives... no one seems to be interested in selecting and propagating the
better color forms out there. In acutiloba in my garden, I have white
blooming, several lavender to blue with white stamens and a pink or two that
are nice. There are also the European selections and species to play with
that will run about $35 or so for a fully double.... if you can find them in
a catalog.
They simply need shade with a preferred position of east or north
exposure, good well drained gritty soil with lots of leaf mold or compost.
They respond well in the garden to mild fertilizing program... become larger
and more prolific. North hard to grow and very rewarding as the first plants
in the garden to bloom in late winter or early spring.

New Belgium Brewing fans will have reason to celebrate Friday, Aug. 26 and Saturday, Aug. 27 — with two fun events in Asheville. NBB is celebrating its 25th anniversary in style, with a weekend-long bash.
Clips Beer and Film
The celebration kicks off with the Asheville stop of the Clips Beer and Film Tour Friday, Aug. 26 at Pack Square in downtown Asheville.
It's is a free event, showcasing short films and a selection of close to 20 small-batch beers for purchase. All proceeds from beer sales go to Asheville on Bikes.
Clips is a great event for a summer evening under the stars. Many of New Belgium's more esoteric brews will be on tap, available in 3-ounce samples or 12-ounce pours. Food from local vendors will be available.
Attendees should bring lawn chairs or blankets for sitting down and watching the films. The event begins at 7 p.m. and film screenings begin at 9 p.m. on a large outdoor screen.
25th Anniversary Birthday Bash
The Saturday, Aug. 27 Birthday Bash will be hosted by Saturday Night Live's Nasim Pedrad, with music from Mucca Pazza, Dark Water Rising and award-winning headliners, The Naked and Famous.
"Join us as we celebrate 25 years of New Belgium Brewing, the grand opening of our Asheville brewery, and all the friends we've made on this ride," said Susanne Hackett, New Belgium Asheville communications specialist.
"The Birthday Bash is going down at our brewery in Asheville," Hackett said. "This day-long celebration will showcase Tour de Fat acts, unique beer offerings, amazing local eats and treats and some exciting surprises you won't want to miss."
Children under age 12 will get into the birthday event free with a ticketed adult. The doors open at 3 p.m., with the show beginning at 4 p.m. Tickets are $50 and include three drinks at the event. Visit www.newbelgium.com/birthday-bash to order tickets. Parking at the brewery is limited, and party-goers are asked to consider biking, carpool or taking the off-site shuttles to the event.
"Meeting neighbors and visitors, we've had an amazing time hanging out with the thousands of guests who have come to spend time with us at the Liquid Center," said Tyler Foos, NBB Asheville Liquid Center manager. "Celebrating our 25th birthday and grand opening in Asheville with old friends and new makes us proud and grateful to be in this community. Consider this your official invitation to join us."

"If Bogle writes it, it's worth reading. His latest, Don't Count On It, is a collection of 35 essays, every one of them filled with wisdom and insight. . . While I have read Bogle's views on these issues many times, I'm always impressed with the quality of his writing (Where else can you read quotations from Adam Smith to Winston Churchill to Cato?), the wit and humility he shows and his passion to help investors. The book is a compelling read, one that in effect tells the story and mission of a great man. We're lucky and privileged to have him fighting on our side. As Bogle noted in his book, Machiavelli "described the accumulation of worldly 'glory' as the motivating principle that drives leaders to undertake 'great enterprises' and do 'great things' on behalf of their fellow citizens and not just themselves." Hard to find a better description of Bogle himself." (MarketWatch)
"Mr Bogle's prescription for a better system is relatively simple: to demand proper fiduciary management from money managers. They must prioritise client interests, act as responsible corporate citizens, charge reasonable fees and eliminate conflicts of interest. Amen to that. It may sound like nostalgia from an old-timer, or idealism from a visionary. But without such changes, investors and society will continue to be short-changed as the financial community carries on regardless." (Financial Times)
"In Don't Count on It! Reflections on Investment Illusions, Capitalism, "Mutual" Funds, Indexing, Entrepreneurship, Idealism, and Heroes, Bogle hammers at what he labels the cost matters hypothesis: Whether markets are efficient or inefficient, investors as a group must fall short of the market return by precisely the amount of the aggregate costs they incur. It is the central fact of investing. Not surprisingly, the book deals extensively with the low-cost innovation for which Vanguard is best known: the stock index mutual fund. When the company first made indexing available to small investors in 1975, critics derided the notion as "Bogle's folly." To Bogle, however, the benefits to investors were irrefutable. . . The impact of indexing has been so great that a second, hugely important contribution by Vanguard has been overshadowed. Vanguard originated the now standard segmentation of bond funds into short-, intermediate-, and long-term varieties. Bogle was enshrined in the Fixed Income Analysts Society Hall of Fame for this innovation. The author of Don't Count on It! does not dwell on such honors, which include being named one of the world's 100 most powerful and influential people by Time magazine. In fact, Bogle devotes the final section of his book to tributes to four of his own heroes: Walter Morgan, economist Paul Samuelson, investment guru Peter Bernstein, and Dr. Bernard Lown, a Nobel laureate whom he credits with keeping him alive in defiance of a mystifying heart ailment. Bogle also shows modesty in sharing credit for his contributions to the field and in downplaying his own theoretical expertise. His unashamed display of such old-fashioned virtues, as well as his heretical view that running a business is not entirely about maximizing the wealth of the owners, has earned him the nickname 'St. Jack.'" (Financial Analysts Journal)

A cup of coffee to warm other's hearts
Small acts of kindness can make all the difference in the world, as the #OneForJames campaign shows.
In early 2015, James Bidgood tragically passed away in a snowmobile collision in Ontario, Canada. A loving and well-respected man of the community, he left behind his wife and two kids at the age of 35.
His best friend Jason Alexander decided to pay tribute to James by emulating his regular act of treating a stranger to a cup of coffee.
James' tradition consisted of buying the next person in the drive-thru a coffee treat. Jason wanted to continue his friend's kind-hearted legacy and expressed his idea to an employee at the local Tim Hortons restaurant. The server produced his order with a message that read "For James", signed with a heart, and the #OneForJames campaign was born.
#OneForJames, which encourages people to continue James' legacy, has since taken off on social media with thousands of likes on Facebook. Visit the webpage at https://www.facebook.com/oneforjames to learn more.

Lakes Stocked Again
The lakes will be stocked this Friday with 200 blue and rainbow trout. Many of our regulars have commented on the superb condition and fighting quality of this years fish. They are not your usual fat stew pond trout but fish which have been bred and developed in clear moving water which produces fit and muscular trout. Make sure you have plenty of backing on your line the next time you visit!
steve schroeter #
yep, let me endorse that about the fish fighting ability. This afternoon while giving my old cane rod some exercise in the tossing rain I landed 7 and lost 7, all on an olive emerger in a 3 hour session. Not spectacularly big but spend a lot of time airborne.
And well done them lads who do all that weed clearance…..superb water quality.June 27, 2013

good stuff a lovely 200 fish for the night fishing 🙂June 28, 2013

A third person, a former dairy boss, was handed a life term.
The Intermediate People's Court in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province, gave the life sentence to Tian Wenhua, 66, the former chairwoman of Sanlu Group, the dairy at the centre of the storm.
At her trial last month, Tian admitted producing and selling substandard products after infant formula tainted with melamine was blamed in the deaths of at least six babies and the illnesses of nearly 300,000 others.
The court sentenced Zhang Yujun, 40, to death for running a workshop that was allegedly China's largest source of melamine. Geng Jinping was also given the death penalty for producing and selling toxic food.
A third man, Gao Junjie, was given a suspended death sentence, which is usually commuted to a life sentence.
The sentences - the first handed down in the scandal - and a recent announcement of a compensation plan for the victims appear to be part of a government bid to end the crisis.
During her trial, Tian said she had known of problems with Sanlu milk for months. The scandal was exposed in September last year. Tian was also fined 20million yuan (£2.1million) while Sanlu, which has been declared bankrupt, was fined 50million yuan (£5.3million). Among 12 sentences announced today were two other life terms and jail terms of five to 15 years.
"My granddaughter died. She [Tian]) should die too, she should be shot," said Zheng Shuzhen, of Henan province, who said her one-year-old granddaughter died after drinking Sanlu milk.
Middlemen were watering down milk, then mixing in nitrogen-rich melamine to fool tests for protein. Melamine can cause kidney failure.

A/N: Here it is, the last piece. This piece is edited with the lemony bit removed because I couldn't decide if the smut scene was too much for and I thought it better to be safe then sorry. But, if you go to my website(via my bio) you'll find the entire story, which includes the whole ending. I'll have to remember to add this nicer version to the site for those that prefer it.
My deepestgratitude to those who have reviewed, to those who have waited for these last two chapters,and to those who have merely read the story. Enjoy.
Severus Snape was not pouting nor was he pining. He wasn't. He also wasn't hiding or feeling sorry for himself. No he, was merely locking himself in his private lab for that past few days where everyone knew better than to disturb him and staring at an empty cauldron clutching his book of potions from Harry for no reason what-so-ever. Glancing over the spread of ingredients, he sighed before returning to stare at the cauldron.
He ignored the knock at his door, turning to place his Christmas present into a safely warded drawer and began to measure out the ingredients for a potion Madam Pomfrey had requested. Much to his chagrin, the wards on his door fell away and in stepped on e of the many people he didn't want to see at the moment.
"Go away Albus, I'm busy."
"Busy staring at an empty cauldron? I think you can spare a few minutes to speak with me." 'About these past few months' hang unsaid in the air between them.
Snape stiffened, nearly crushing the phial in his hand. "Of course I can spare you a moment, Headmaster. Is there something you require? A potion perhaps? I regret to inform you that due to the large amounts of work I have to catch up on, I'll be unable to take on any students for detention."
Albus sighed. "You do that just to be contrary, don't you?"
"Do what sir?"
"Become so formal with me."
"I am merely treating you with that respect that your position commands."
"Severus, please," Albus said. "I understand that you are distressed, you've gotten used to Harry's presence and now he's gone back to Gryffindor Tower with his friends and left you here."
"Is there a point to your lecture?"
"How do you think we found you and Harry?"
"Excuse me?"
"After the Hogsmeade weekend, how you do think we found you two?"
"I assume you thought about who might have kidnapped us and checked their houses. Or perhaps Draco demanded that his father's dungeon be checked."
"We checked Lucius' dungeons mere hours after you disappeared but we couldn't find you."
"Then how?"
Albus reached forward and uncovered the necklace around his neck. "Harry is an extremely resourceful boy. He placed a very impressive tracing charm onto that necklace, leaving the tracker in Draco's room. Draco happened to stumble upon it in his trunk and read the note, which he immediately brought to me. We contacted the Ministry and got a second search warrant. The note said 'to protect what I care about'. Do you know what that means, my boy?"
"Albus." Dumbledore paused in his speech. "Get the fuck out of my lab. Now."
Surprised at the man's uncharacteristic use of profanity and one-syllable words, Albus decided that it was best to retreat and retreat quickly before the Slytherin decided to test out some new poison on him during an unsuspecting meal. He quietly closed the door behind him.
Severus stared at the tiny bauble before safely tucking it away into his robes as he returned to work. The door suddenly opened again. "Albus, I told you…! Black? Is Harry all right?" Concern laced his tone as he leapt to his feet.
"For the most part, yes."
Snape reverted back to his normal snappish persona. "Then, why, may I ask, are you pestering me?"
"Drop the act," Sirius responded calmly, entering the lab and after glancing around quickly, he returned his attention to the black-haired Slytherin.
"Get. Out," Snape growled.
"I will, after I've said my piece, so sit down, shut up, listen, and then you'll be rid of me."
"Very well, in the interests of you leaving my lab shortly…" He sat.
"I know you and I have never been friends – don't interrupt – and I know we not only do not have a good past but we rarely tolerate one another. But for Harry, I'm will to make an attempt. It reminds me of when James fell for Lily. She'd snap at him, make fun of him, tease him, call him names, stand him up, everything possible to discourage and embarrass him, but he kept going back for more until he made her realize that he cared. A Slytherin and a Gryffindor, that made for some interesting fights. I don't want to see Harry torn up like James was while he was trying to get Lily's attention. He's a good person and while I personally believe he deserves better, I won't stand in his way or make it more difficult for him."
"What are you babbling about?"
"You thick-skulled moron! Harry is in love with you!"
"In love?" Snape asked, surprised.
"With you, yes."
Snape sat speechless on his stool, trying to process the information. Sirius smirked as he stood. "As I said, I'm willing to attempt a truce if you are. There's a room on the fourth floor, behind the black suit of armor. The password is 'Kindred Spirits'. He's planning on spending the afternoon there. I think he'd enjoy some company, especially yours."
The Animagus turned and padded out of the room, nodding to Draco who pulled on an invisibility cloak. A few minutes later, the invisible blonde trailed the elder Slytherin, tapping his mother on the back as they passed. Narcissa hurried up to the Tower. In the Gryffindor dorms, Ron and Hermione were speaking with Harry. Ron spotted Narcissa at the door and discreetly nudged Hermione.
"Hey Harry," Ron began, "Draco's mother told him about this place and he passed it on to us. It's supposed to be Godric Gryffindor's quarters. Let's go look!"
"I don't know…" Harry said.
"Just think how much we could learn! His diaries are probably there! I heard that in his diaries, he mentions a romantic relationship with Salazar Slytherin and that they only fought to keep everyone from intruding on their personal lives," Hermione encouraged.
"And there's supposed to be an original book about Quidditch! With the original rules and the moves that he invented!" Ron said, excitedly. "Besides, you need to get out and break some rules."
"Ron!" Hermione admonished.
"Umm, I meant we should get out and spend some time together. What better way that to explore a new place? It's not like we've had a chance to spend a lot of time together."
"Sorry about that. Sure, why not. Where is it?"
"Third floor, behind the black suit of armor," the female Gryffindor answered immediately. "The password is 'Kindred Spirits'. We'd better go one at a time so we don't attract any unwanted attention. You go first. Ron will follow you and I'll follow him."
"Kindred Spirits?" She nodded and the Gryffindor padded silently out of the room.
"We'll be right behind you!" Hermione called out, waiting for a few minutes before pulling on Harry's invisibility cloak and following him. Ron headed in the opposite direction to get Narcissa, Sirius, and Remus.
Ten minutes later, Harry made his way past the suit of armor and into the room. He was shocked by the fact that Severus Snape was in Godric Gryffindor's chambers and watching him with almost a sheepish expression, he blurted out the first thing that came to mind, "What are you doing here?"
"I…I'll go."
"No, that's not what I meant. I was told this was Godric Gryffindor's chambers. I didn't' think a Slytherin would set foot in here."
"Nonsense. Gryffindor's chambers are on the sixteenth floor where there is no student access via the stairs."
The door closed behind them with a click causing Harry to automatically whip around with his wand out. He felt Severus step up behind him wand drawn in a mirror position, Harry's back pressed against the older man's chest. He swore he could hear muffled laughter. Stepping forward, Harry tugged on the handle, pushed on the door, and tried unlocking spells to no avail. The Gryffindor stepped back to allow the Slytherin his chance to attempt to break the wards on the door.
"You've never been here before?" Severus questioned as he worked.
"No. I just heard about it now."
"Damn it! That lying mangy mutt lied to me."
"Sirius? You two actually held a conversation that didn't involve casualties?"
"Do be quiet."
"Fine." Harry sighed and slumped heavily into the love seat dejectedly. "What did he lie about?"
"None of your business."
"Fine. What were you doing up here?"
"Waiting for you," Severus ground out.
"Because that mutt lied to me."
"You already asked that."
Harry shook his head. "I'm going to go look around. There might be another way out." A few minutes later Harry returned. "Any luck?"
"No. You?"
"None. At least we won't have to kip on the chairs if they don't let us out. There's a bed in the next room."
"A bed? Anything else?"
"A bedside table. No windows, no mirrors, not even a chest of drawers or a closet."
"It there a bathroom?"
"Yes, off the bedroom. There's a counter with a sink and a bathtub the size of the bed nearly."
"I don't believe it!" Snape nearly laughed. "This is just like that horrible romance novel Draco was telling me about."
"Romance novel? A wizard romance novel? Those things are worse than the Muggle ones."
"Yes. So I realized after the first chapter. Unfortunately, or fortunately, our tastes run different in the area of literature."
"What happened in the book?"
"It's a trashy romance novel. What do you think happened?"
"I meant what happened dealing with our current situation of being locked in a room?"
"The spells cast on the door only could be cancelled when the two locked inside…"
"Use your imagination!"
"Fucked like rabbits?"
"No! Admitted their feelings," Severus barked out in shock.
"Is that it?" Harry asked through his laughter. "That's easy. I'll go first. Sev, I love you. Your turn."
"You love me?"
"I just said so, didn't I?"
"But you can't love me."
"Why not? They're my feelings, I can feel what I want."
"Oh come on. Let's see the reasons I've already been told. Death Eater, so what? Teacher, not for long and there are no rules against it. Age difference, look at Dumbledore and McGonagall. Gryffindor-Slytherin, use my parents as an example, hell, even Slytherin and Gryffindor were rumored to be fuck-buddies. Your past doesn't matter. You've more than made up for it over the years in my eyes. I'd say you've got an excess of good stored up as well. Trustworthy, I definitely think so. Are there any more reasons you can think of off the top of your head?"
"You love me?" Severus asked again.
"Oh for the love of Merlin!" Harry grumbled, stalking forward. He grabbed both sides of the other man's face and pulled him into a kiss.
The potions master was unresponsive so Harry pulled back, green eyes clouded and down cast. "Oh, that's why I can't love you. All right, I understand. I'm sorry. I'll just go sit over here for a while."
Breaking free of his stupor, Severus reached forward, caught Harry's arm and pulled him into a kiss, which Harry tentatively returned after a minute. Pulling back slightly, Severus briefly licked at Harry's lips before saying, "The feelings are more than mutual."
Harry smiled widely, and pulled the Slytherin down into a soul-searing kiss where both were active participants and thoroughly enjoying it.
"Do you think that qualifies as sharing feelings?" Harry asked breathlessly. "Cause I really want to be in your quarters right now."
Severus reached back and pushed on the door. "Still locked."
"So should we say how we feel again?"
"I love you," Severus said, pulling Harry into a hug.
"And I love you," Harry chuckled, stepping up to his tip-toes to steal a kiss.
There was a soft snick that alerted them to the door unlocking. Harry laughed. "Trashy romance novels aside, you have to give them points for being thorough. He pushed the door open to reveal a hallway full of smiling and blushing faces. Harry's face started to turn pink in embarrassment at all the attention.
Severus wrapped his arms around his lover protectively. "Albus, could you please cover my classes on Monday and possibly Tuesday? If you need us, we'll be in our quarters. Try not to need us." Severus pulled his mate out of the room and down to their rooms. Harry paused briefly to remember what day it was, he smiled as he remembered it was Friday. "Are you going to stand there grinning like an idiot or are you coming?"
"Oh, I'll definitely be coming with you." Harry climbed through the portrait after him, with a lust-filled smile at the blatant sexual innuendos before changing the password and closing the door behind them.

Birmingham-based No5 and Zhonglun commenced tie-up negotiations in March, a month after the Chinese firm opened its London office. The deal will see Zhonglun refer all its work exclusively to the 170-barrister set.
Practice director at No5 Tony McDaid said the alliance comes as a direct response to the increasing global significance of China and the rising levels of trade between the UK and China.
"In recent years we've seen law firms taking on the work of the bar and this direct alliance is one of our ways of bringing it back to the bar," explained McDaid. "It's a significant step for us as it means a direct link into the Asia market, without going through another firm." Haibin Xue, the London managing partner at Zhonglun, said the union would allow the four-lawyer office to offer the same wide-ranging legal capabilities as its five China offices.
"No5 will provide us with the additional support we need as our London capabilities expand," said Xue. "In China we'll be looking to assist No5 through promotion. This makes the association a perfect combination."
No5 will mainly be facilitating the new alliance through its London office, which was launched almost five years ago.
The set's head of chancery and commercial Richard Jones QC and barrister Peter Collie will be heading the strategic alliance, which is due to commence at the beginning of August.

So you say there is no distinction between campaigning and the performance of official duties? So when the President is playing golf or having $1,000 a plate dinners with campaign contributors he is acting in his official capacity?That he was visiting with constituents only proves that he was acting in his official capacity as a public servant. Hence, to do what he did was reprehensible, and probably not lawful. The LEO /security staff might not have known better, but they were in the wrong as well.Congress? Decorum? That is an odd combination if I ever heard one. But you are acknowledging that restraints can legitimately but put on the presence of cameras.Oh, as to the comparison with exclusive rights to video in a courtroom, that is indeed a special situation comparable to Congress allowing only C_span in. It is necessary for decorum of the institution.So there is nothing wrong with banning cameras as long as you get to decide when to ban them?While the Critter might feel that following a similar policy is necessary for the decorum of his meetings, not an unreasonable idea, there has to be something beyond his personal feelings to back up his decision. So, maybe if Congress has passed a law giving such a privilege to members he might be in the right. Or perhaps if state law allows the same, he might be in the right. However, I've not heard of any such thing. And extending the practice which takes place in the confines of a courtroom or the halls of Congress to some other venue seems a rather questionable notion, legally, constitutionally, except to those with rather authoritarian mind sets.
The only justification I can see for the policy would revolve around whether or not allowing the public to video record is actually (factually) disruptive of the meeting. But then, there are a host of laws from disorderly conduct to unlawful disruption of a public meeting which might apply. Banning recording in anticipation that someone might be disruptive is a bit of overkill.
As far as possible charges, as the parties involved were notified that cameras were not permited I would guess they could be charged with trespassing (like you and I if we carry past a 30.06 sign). But then if the prosecutors wanted to play hard ball they could make the argument that what since they were trespassing they were not part of the intended audience, hence not a "party" to the communications under Ohio or federal law. They could then prosecute them under ORC 2933.52 or 18 U.S.C. 2510.
I am curious if there is any case law on the subject. I will have to do some reading on it.

VSP Vision Care Pushing for Eye Care Coverage Under Obamacare
The head of Rancho Cordova-based VSP Vision Care says there's a problem with the health coverage you can get under the Affordable Care Act.
VSP President Jim McGrann tells KFBK eye care coverage can be found via Covered California, but it's only for children.
"Adults do not have access to vision care coverage," McGrann said.
He says eye exams should be a basic of health care.
"Our network doctors are the first to detect diabetes, 34 percent of the time, hypertension, 39 percent of the time, and high cholesterol, 62 percent of the time," he said.
McGrann says VSP is talking with Covered California about adding adult eye coverage, but nothing has changed, so far.

Bethlehem, PA
On the evening of October 23rd, 2012 a teenaged boy was walking on the sidewalk when he was approached by a male in a car in the vicinity of Sim's Market in the 600 block of West Broad Street in Bethlehem. The male in the car told the boy that he was sent by the boy's father to pick him up. The boy thought this was suspicious and told the male "No". The boy turned the corner and ran home. The man in the car followed for a short while before stopping. The car was not seen after that time.
The male in the car is described as follows:
- Hispanic male
- Age: 40s
- Wearing glasses
- Spoke with scratchy voice with no accent
The car is described as:
- Dark colored Subaru
- Possibly purple
- Nothing else described or distinguishing
If anyone has any information on this incident, please contact Bethlehem Police Detective Sergeant David Bartera at 610.865.7187 or email@example.com.
The boy in this incident did everything right. He recognized that this was suspicious, told the man "No" and ran home and reported the whole incident to his parent. The parent did the right thing by calling the police and reporting this incident. Having a talk with your children about bad things can be very difficult to do, but can also make all the difference when bad things happen. Are you prepared? Have you had these difficult talks with your children? If not, please consider it. Here are some tips on what to tell them.
Tips for Keeping Kids Aware and Safe
- Teach your child to always "CHECK FIRST" before s/he goes anywhere with anyone at any time for any reason. This includes going with relatives and people the child knows. They should always check first with the person who is caring for them at that time. If it is impossible to check with the caregiver, then the answer is "NO! You may not go."
- Teach your child, when s/he is outside, to always walk with at least one other person. Groups of more than two are better.
- When your child is outside the house, do not allow him or her to wear clothing or a backpack or other articles with his/her name visible on it. Children are more likely to trust someone who calls them by name.
- Teach your child to stay more than an adult arm's length away from any car that is occupied by a person trying to talk to him/her, so that they cannot be reached by the person inside the car.
- Teach your child if someone encourages him or her to get into a car, to help find a lost pet, or to leave with them for any reason, s/he should yell "NO" as loudly as possible and run to the closest adult whom they know and trust. Yelling "No," also called the POWER NO, indicates your child has been prepared for the situation.
- Teach your child to run in the opposite direction from the one the car is facing. It is harder to drive in reverse than straight ahead.
- Teach your child their full name, address and if, there is one, the "best" phone number (including area code) to call in case of an emergency. If you make it into a song, younger children may be more likely to remember it. If no phone number is reliable, teach your child to call 911 for help.
- Teach your older child to pay attention to the color and make of the vehicle and/or its license information (state and number), the physical characteristics of the person(s), and where s/he was when approached. Suggest that this information be written down as soon as it can be done safely.
- Remind your child to call 911 to report any attempted luring.
- Make a daily note of the clothing your child is wearing just in case you need to provide that information later. Keep your child's ID Kit with a current school picture, or other recent photograph, handy.
Parents are now encouraged to avoid using the term "stranger danger." It tends to induce fear. In addition, statistics show that it is more often someone the child knows, rather than a stranger, who inflicts harm. Besides, there are many ways an adult can convince a child s/he is not a stranger.

Well, I should say all the caveats like "don't try this at home," and "it'll destroy your data," and "this is a stupid thing to do," and "don't try this with data you really need, use a professional data recovery service," but…
At home I have a Windows Home Server, which is really cool way to store data, I used to use a server with RAID-5, but so far this has been a lot easier. Anyway, I digress. Last week I added a 2TB drive. (Well, 1.75 TB or so, how come HDD manufacturers can't count in binary like everyone else?) We have lots of video @ home (yea, I know I need to prune it, but haven't had the time).
I didn't really have enough space to duplicate everything, so I turned off duplication on a folder I figured didn't have very important stuff on it. After all, it's a new drive, and the price of drives drop fast, so I'll buy another drive in 6 months and relieve the pressure. You can see where this is headed.
This morning I was more than a tad surprised to discover that the new drive had failed. For various reasons 1TB of data had gotten onto it, and an unknown amount hadn't been duplicated. I was a bit bummed and also discovered something about myself: "unimportant" data becomes more important when there's a terabyte of it missing!
I could reimport the original tapes (Hi-8, Mini-DV, etc), so I wasn't too worried, but that'd still be a LOT of work and time, so I was hoping there was an easier fix.
In that vain I moved the changed the power cord, then switched the SATA port of the drive. I put it in an external case, I put it in a different external case, I changed the power supply, I put it in a different computer. Nothing. It started to spin up and then click… click… click. I don't know much about HDD internals, but the click sounded like heads trying to move, but failing. (Not crashed, that's a much worse sound!). Finally I gave up.
Since I gave up, I got a new drive (so WHS could duplicate the data again), and wrote off the data. Since I hadn't done this with WHS before, I poked around the web to get more info and stumbled into a bunch of "repair" info. (There's a youtube clip of someone stopping a similar clicking noise. They carefully arrange the drive on a workspace, with a nice mat to protect the parts, then they arrange the screwdrivers and tools and demonstrate the click. Then they "solve" the clicking with a sledgehammer. Admittedly the clicking noise did stop, however I think they should've specified their requirements a bit clearer!)
In my stumbling, I came across anecdotal reports of cooling a HDD to "fix" it. Various reasons were given (and another youtube video of a HDD in a block of ice, which I doubt was very successful.)
The "Fix"
Figuring I had nothing to lose, I stuck the drive in the freezer (in it's USB housing for good measure). An hour later I pulled it out, ran downstairs & plugged it into the Windows Home Server.
The power turned on, the drive spun up, then a "click"…. then more clicks, the normal soft clattering of heads moving normally! I ran upstairs to the desktop and told WHS to find the drive… and it did! Freezing the drive did something to make it work.
There are numerous suggestions on how to cool off the drive. Some people suggested using a baggie to keep condensation from it (not sure how that works since there'd still be air… and moisture… in the baggie). I didn't bother, and the thin layer of frost was a bit freaky. Other people ran cables out the freezer door so the drive could stay cold. Since the server's downstairs that's pretty inconvenient, so again I didn't bother. I figured I'd worry about that if it heated up and died, but it's been copying files for several hours now (it takes a long time to copy a terabyte), so I guess it was the initial "spin up the drive" that was causing my problems.
So why's it work? I have no clue. Some speculation on the web was weak connections that somehow got happier. I know electricity's happier conducting at lower temperatures, so maybe there's a thin wire or connection somewhere that got just enough more electrons through it. Or maybe a mechanical problem was overcome by shrinking the parts (most things shrink when they get cold). Or maybe even an electrical connection was mechanically fixed by shrinking. Who knows. Again, I don't recommend anyone do this to their drive, but I was pretty happy it worked as a last resort.
It's a bit disconcerting that the drive failed after only a week or two. I'm guessing the server spun down the drive sometime and then it failed to spin up again. I assume I was pretty unlucky and there was a weak part somewhere that made it past the initial test.
Windows Home Server Recovery
Since the drive's "back", it's a little easier, but it would've been about the same anyway. I put in the new drive, then I told WHS to remove the dead drive (which wasn't dead then). Then WHS copies all the stuff off of the removed drive to other drives. If I hadn't frozen it, same thing, 'cept the lost data would've been missing. So any duplicates or originals on that drive would've been recreated on the new drive or another drive. Obviously anything I didn't enable duplication for that lived on the dead drive would've been lost, I'm lucky in that respect.
I wasn't very familier with how recovery would work on WHS. Previously I had a RAID-5 system, and have off-site backups of some files, but hadn't done recovery with WHS. There's a bunch of discussion on the web of the pros & cons of WHS's technique, but it seems to work. It sounds like it'd be more interesting if the main drive had failed because it'd have to recreate the "tombstones," but it'd still find the other drives and recreate the file structure when the WHS was reinstalled (I don't work in WHS, so forgive me if I got something wrong here). As a contrast, another box died last summer and I still haven't gotten it's RAID-5 array back up. (Fortunately I was suspicious of it and most everything was copied to the WHS).
[Update: This is a bit disconcerting. I took the defective drive back to the store, and they happily took it back. I said it was defective, but they tested it and apparently it froze really well because it still worked. They didn't care, they said they'd take it back anyway. I clearly stated that it had died, dead, like bad heads, and that I'd "fixed" it by sticking it in the freezer. They still didn't care and marked it to go back on the shelf!. Though this drive was new, I will now never buy a HDD with a "returned, full warrenty, 5% discount" sticker on it! It's one thing if I have to go back to the store 'cause my DVD player died, completely different to have an iffy HDD.]

The welfare of jump horses will again come under scrutiny after Little Josh became the second fatality at Aintree in as many days.
The Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained gelding was put down after breaking his shoulder in the John Smith's Topham Chase.
Little Josh parted company with rider Sam Twiston-Davies in the extended two-mile-five-furlong event, run over the Grand National course.
A tweet from Aintree racecourse read: "We can sadly confirm that Little Josh broke a shoulder in the Topham Chase. He was treated immediately but needed to be humanely put down."
The news follows the the collapse and death of Katie Walsh's mount Battlefront after being pulled up in the John Smith's Fox Hunters' Chase.
The tragedies represent an excruciating start to the meeting for Aintree officials, who have responded to fatalities in each of the last two Nationals with a series of modifications to the controversial course.
Speaking after today's incident Professor Chris Proudman, veterinary advisor to Aintree, said: "We are sad to confirm that is has been necessary to humanely put down Little Josh on welfare grounds, as a result of his fall at the 15th fence in the John Smith's Topham Chase.
"He received immediate veterinary attention for a broken shoulder, but this injury was not treatable and it was the necessary course of action."
All 28 other horses in the race returned safely.
John Baker, Aintree and North West Regional Director for Jockey Club Racecourses, said: "I would like to extend our sympathies to the connections of Little Josh following his fall in the John Smith's Topham Chase.
"We have made significant improvements in safety at the course, but we also recognise that jump racing carries risk you can never completely remove from the sport."
Aintree said jockey Liam Treadwell received medical assessment on course and was taken to hospital for further assessment. Andrew Lynch was being assessed in the medical centre on course.
Grand National-winning trainer Twiston-Davies paid tribute to Little Josh, and did not attribute blame to the much-scrutinised fences.
He said: "He's gone out doing what he loved the most, he's jumped round those fences before and it's one of those things.
"It could happen anywhere, it could happen at home and it's not the fences - it could have happened at a park course.
"It's desperate, as he is one of Sam's favourite horses and he has been a great servant."
Tomorrow the Grand National takes place. More flexible cores have been installed in the fences, and the ground has also been levelled off at several jumps. In an effort to curb the early pace, meanwhile, the National start has been moved 90 yards closer to the first fence. But calls to reduce the field size have been rejected. "We want to maintain the character, tradition and history of the National," Baker stressed. "To have 40 runners is unique to the race and important to us. The track is wide enough to cope with that number."
All those at Aintree will be desperate the fatalities do not extend to three in three.

Exciting news!!!
... could happen!
There is just one more bit of news that we haven't shared with our families yet so this will see who really reads through it well..hee hee...
2 Mondays ago (10th), we were in the pool playing around and throwing a ball around. We then spent the whole day going through what we had and checking it all etc.... In the evening we were sat eating dinner when Darren suddenly realised something..........
Chief Little Turtle
Today we got our plate for the truck in the mail!!! This means we are pretty much good to go whenever.
We also parked up downtown, had some lunch, then walked around a lot. We saw a few different parks which were mostly empty and the grass had seen better days - it's been so humid that most of the yards here are starting to struggle a bit.
Debrands Chocolate Tour
... we had Darrens social security card and the title for the truck in the post....just the plate left to come!! We chilled at the pool then went with steve to see Grandma - she was almost falling asleep when we left!
That's about it.....just one more little shout out to my mummy as I'm not sure when she will be reading this...I'm hoping you are reading this after a successful operation and we LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
Fort Wayne Zoo & Meteor Shower
... so he could get some better pictures. We just walked back around our favourite animals and also went on a ride which was basically a ski lift that you can jump on and get a good view of the Africa area.
On the way out we stopped in the Farm section where you can feed the goats milk…mum am I correct in thinking this is the place I have a funny memory of when I was younger? If so I really don't see how I can be blamed…if you give a me ...
Amish spotting and Sweetwater Sound
... and I had a Dark Hot chocolate....we also tried their Brookie.....a brownie base with a cookie top.....it was AMAZING!!
We also saw the Grilled Amish PB&J sandwich and Darren's eyes lit up so we shared that for lunch - he was a very happy boy!
Afterwards we decided to drive around a bit and do some more Amish spotting as the roads seemed pretty quiet. We did come across a few Amish schools with kids out there playing basketball and ...

2013 Leafs Trades/Proposals: Version IV - Kings & Rangers are low..trade?

Just a couple points, Franson is RFA, so he has no real threat of leaving this summer. (according to capgeek)
Top 4 forwards for Rangers next year $26 million
Top 4 forwards for Penguins next year $26 million
Top 4 forwards for Leafs next year $20 million
I don't think they have any problems paying those guys that money. If the NHL recovers, and it is looking good, we could see the cap rise and even with the reduced percentage there shouldn't be a problem with the Leafs continuing to pay out that money/cap.
Yes, Kessel will be in the $7 million range. I can't say I'd have been happy with that money prior to his struggles this year. I am thrilled he struggled and in doing so seemed to work harder on other aspects of the game (IMO and others). If he continues to work hard in all zones (although I don't see him ever being good in traffic defensively) he'll earn $7 a season.
If there is any substance to trading him, I'd hope it would be for foundational young pieces. I think the Leafs would have to take a little risk in any trade, but they'd be trading him for a few reasons. I don't think the reason would be because of performance, but because of direction or as someone has stated a no brainer. A massive overpayment would be a no brainer, or a trade like Toews (yes I know not happening so this is just fantasy talk).
If a contender has drafted a stud, and it happens. Sometimes later picks turn out to be steals, they might look at Kessel to put them over the top, kind of like the Kings did in the Carter deal. Kessel, IMO, has more value than Carter, although Carter was locked up forever.
Who the contenders, and which contender has a need for speed and scoring,
a stud / potential stud prospect, and reasonable cap space in 2014+?
Perhaps the most pertinent question should be, would Nonis give up a chance at the playoffs for a team that hasn't made them in close to a decade?
Unless Kessel's camp has made it clear he wants out of the fishbowl I can see a max length, at $7 per.
The New York Rangers are the most valuable NHL franchise at $1.2 billion, taking the top spot on the Forbes list for the first time since 2004.
The magazine said Tuesday that Montreal is second at $1.18 billion, followed by Toronto at $1.15 billion.
