Alwar lynching: Hindutva groups creating atmosphere of discord, says CongressKharge's reference to Hindutva organisations linked to the BJP was however expunged by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
Coming down heavily on Hindutva organisations that are linked to the BJP including the RSS and VHP, senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge today said that 'some forces in the country are creating an atmosphere of discord with incidents like lynching of a Muslim man in Alwar town of Rajasthan'.
"With such incidents, particularly BJP's other organisations like RSS, Bajrang Dal and VHP are trying to create an atmosphere of discord in the country. People are disturbed due to this," Kharge said.
Pehlu Khan (55) died at a hospital in Alwar district on Monday after allegedly being beaten by a group of cow vigilantes. The incident took place on Saturday when 16 people were allegedly transporting bovine animals from Jaipur to Haryana.
Kharge's reference to Hindutva organisations linked to the BJP was however expunged by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
Kharge said that the Congress party will take this message of alleged misdeeds by Hindutva organisations to the common people.
Kharge, who is leader of Congress in Lok Sabha, also lashed out at the BJP members in the House and said that the law was being broken.
Kharge said that five persons were ferrying three cows after buying them for Rs 75000 when their vehicle was stopped by cow vigilantes in Alwar and they were thrashed, leading to the death of one person.
He also targeted the state's Home Minister for his comments that both sides, the accused and the victims, had done something wrong and there was nothing wrong in people stopping cow smuggling. Kharge further noted that the victims were dairy farmers.
The Congress leader also said that only four persons were arrested even though the group of attackers had over 200 people.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said that Kharge's allegations against the Hindutva bodies were baseless.

With only the top three seeds left in the tournament, Alma College and Ohio Northern began the fourth day of tournament play.
Ending the Scot's season, Ohio Northern University came out on the winning end of a 4-1 score.
"I just told the kids to be patient and [Rezmer] will bring it in the zone and we finally did that today and got seven hits," Ohio Northern's head coach Kim Burke said.
The game began with a shot to right field whereJr. Amanda Schneider (New Baltimore, Mich./Anchor Bay) made an easy catch for the Polar Bear's first out.
In the top of the third, Ohio Northern University took control of the game scoring two runs when Sr. Kimi Blewett (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) doubled to center field, allowing two runners to get home and earning her two RBIs. The Polar Bears continued to score in the top of the fourth and again in the top of the fifth, allowing them to pull away, 4-0.
Pitching for the second time this weekend, So. Dani Steepe (Marysville, Ohio/Marysville) struck out seven of the 28 batters she faced.
"Really it's just pitch by pitch," Steepe said. "I don't really think about anything but the next pitch. If the last pitch wasn't what I wanted, I think about what I have to do to fix it and throw the next one."
The Scots were able to get on the board in the bottom of the fifth inning, with So. Chanler McCaskey (Morenci, Mich./Morenci) scoring on a Polar Bear error. Despite attempts to rally back late in the bottom of the seventh, Alma College was not able to put enough runs to take back the game.
"It was a great year," Alma's head coach Denny Griffin said. "I told the kids, you win 31 ball games, you get to the semi finals of a regional tournament, that's a very good season. Don't hang your heads because we battled all the way through the end."
Ohio Northern University will now play Trine University in the championship game.

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia football coach Mark Richt, who has been in talks with the school about reworking his contract since after the Southeastern Conference championship game in early December, will be getting a three-year extension, the school announced this morning.
Financial details of a boost to Richt's salary are in the process of being finalized but they have been agreed upon, athletic director Greg McGarity said. The new deal will keep Richt under contract through the 2016 season.
McGarity did not want to detail how much of a raise Richt will be getting. He currently is paid $2.81 million annually.
"We've agreed to all the big stuff," Richt said. "There's still some things that gotta be ironed out, but, yeah, I'm excited about the new contract."
Said McGarity: "We've agreed on the major parts. We met a couple of weeks ago and talked about it. Now we're tweaking some things. It's in the lawyer's hands now to work through some language."
Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham also has agreed to a two-year extension.
Grantham, who makes $750,000 annually, is now under contract through the 2014 season.
McGarity said the there are still tweaks being made to Richt's and Grantham's deals.
Under Grantham, Georgia finished fifth in the nation in total defense, the second best ranking in Richt's 11 seasons. The Bulldogs gave up 101.2 rushing yards per game, the fewest for Georgia since the 1985 team allowed 99.5 yards per game.
Richt's job security was in jeopardy when the Bulldogs started this past season 0-2 after a 6-7 season in 2010. Georgia won 10 straight games and finished the season 10-4 and its first trip to the SEC title game since 2005.
Richt's contract last was amended in 2008 after the Bulldogs finished ranked No. 2 in the nation and won the Sugar Bowl in 2007.
"It is sort of a different contract," McGarity said. "In other words, we're blowing up the old contract. I shouldn't say blowing up, but we're basically starting over with new terminology and things like that that probably make it easier to read and easier to understand."
Richt is 106-38 in 11 seasons, a .736 winning percentage, which ranks 14th all-time among SEC coaches.
"I've never really changed my stance on how I feel about Georgia from the first day I got the opportunity to be here," Richt said. "My goal and my wife Katharyn's goal was to build our life in Athens, Ga., and raise our children here and finish my coaching career here. That thought has never changed for me."
Having five years on his deal should provide some comfort to recruits looking at Georgia.
"That's good," Richt said. "Any guy we're recruiting right now most of them think four is the most they'll be around and a lot of them think they'll be going (to the NFL) in three."

I am wanting to get a new Desktop...
What is the best brand...
Everybody seems to have Compaq and HP and nothing else
I am wanting to get a new Desktop...
What is the best brand...
Everybody seems to have Compaq and HP and nothing else
Build your own or else buy a Dell.
Can you get dell at a store or online only???
Go to a small, decent computer shop and buy a built one. Find out everything that is in it, and ask them what is upgradable.
Or better yet... build your own.
My parents.. for some reason.. dont want to build one..
We have just bought a graphics card.. 640MB of ram... but NO no build your own...
Is it that difficult to put in a motherboard?
Dude, that is crazy. I just created a $21,000.00 system. Wow, I could not imagine having a computer that expensive. It definately would be pimp to have a comp like that.
Upgrade. It's much cheaper.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?
have it built.....it's how I'll get my new comp...I'm sick and tired of these stupid brand names. I paid almost 3,000 for my comp about 2 3/4 years ago because I didn't have it built by someone...about 6 monts later, I saw ppl with custom built computers that were twice as good as mine but with half the price this is NOT justice....
and for the upgrading part, it's only a good idea if ur comp is still workable unlike mine
oh i'm sorry! i didn;t realize my fist was rushing to meet ur face!
MSN :: email@example.com []*[]
My motherboard I have now cost a whole 100 dollars... bah
MSI Mainboard.
Oh well.. I guess ill figure out something
Hey, I have a MSI board (and I like it just fine).
I shop here:
Once you've got a complete system it's only a few hundred bucks to upgrade. However, I've found it's not much more expensive to buy a complete system compared to building it yourself. It's not the hardware that's expensive, it's the software and peripherals.
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?
Wow really?
Maybe I should get a sound card and XP upgrade and ill be set
I built my own system.. and I've been keeping it up to date ever since. That way, I never have to dish out huge amounts of cash for massive upgrades -- buy the parts when they're cheap.
As for if it's difficult to install your own motherboard... no, it is not. Although, I wouldn't recommend you going and doing it without first watching someone who knows what they're doing.
MSI... Careful, they have THE WORST technical support... although I do have an MSI board. If you live in Canada, I suggest www.robotnik.com for your parts... they're the cheapest place I've found in Canadian currency (after shipping and such) plus, they're in the same city as I
Echo Dual-Catfish.
Tell your folks that building it from pieces will help your understanding of PC's.
Look at places like 'Tom's Hardware guide' for the exact items to buy.
I spent Au$140 on a Rhino MB, my friend spent Au$175 on an ASUS MB. His was three times faster than mine (according to SANDRA's benchmarks).
Watch for bottlenecks. No point in having a Athlon 1900 and RAID if you have a TNT2 16Mb graphic card.
"Man alone suffers so excruciatingly in the world that he was compelled to invent laughter."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars......the rest I squandered."
George Best
"If you are going through hell....keep going."
Winston Churchill
I'm a hw tech, so i'd say to build one. But the way the parts are going up for some components (cough cough video cards) and the prices of pre built units are going down. I'd say to get a dell all the way. Just don't get one of those damn 2 inch wide ones. The bigger the better (:

I want to get the TextBlock attribute by variate.1. The general situation: OKp=axlGetParam("paramTextBlock:2") p->??=>(objType "paramTextBlock" width 0.584 photoWidth 0.127 name "2" lineSpace 0.991 height 0.787 charSpace 0.203)2. n=2p=axlGetParam("paramTextBlock:n")p->??=>(objType "paramTextBlock")3. procedure( Text(x "n")axlGetParam("paramTextBlock:x"))Text(2)->??=>(objType "paramTextBlock")The result of the 2nd and 3rd situation are not correct. why? how can I get it?
The problem is that you are passing a string to the axlGetParam procedure.Because "x" is inside of double quotes, you are passing a string "x" rather than the evaluation of the variable x.use sprintf, and I would check to make sure that x is an integer:procedure(Text(x) when(integerp(x) axlGetParam(sprintf(nil "paramTextBlock:%d" x)) ))This should return the param or nil (when invalid input).
Ok.It means that I can use sprintf to convert number type to string type.haha, thanks.

Twinkle Living, Inc.
- Location: New York, NY and online
- Website: twinkleliving.com
Twinkle first caught our eye in a July issue of Time Out Chicago, in which Wenlan Chia, the woman behind Twinkle designs, was profiled in a Maker's mark column. We tore out the page and have been hanging on to it ever since. Finally, we got a chance to visit the New York-based designer's work online, which includes a range of clothing, jewelry, and home designs full of shapes and patterns, unicorns and puppies.
As far as we know, only designs for your body can currently be found in Chicago (at Tangerine and LiLi Boutique). For the Twinkle Living line, you'll have to deal with cross-country shopping, and keep an eye/ear out for which local stores may take on Twinkle's throws ($300+), pillows ($50-70), rugs ($1,200-3,700), and assorted bedding in the future.

Jordanian alumni honored at reception in Amman
In the land of Jordan where prophets once walked, Provost Donald Bobbitt recently did a little prognosticating of his own.
"I see Jordanian students and faculty studying and working at UTA," he says. "UTA has a history of Jordanian students studying on campus. Now they occupy positions of great power in their country. Students want to emulate them, so they have tremendous interest in coming to UTA."
Mohammed Saad Batayneh ('80), Nasser Lozi ('79), Ali Deiry, Salwa Al-Amir, Faruq Al-Omari ('98), Bushra Batayneh and Hinda Batayneh Shalan ('79) attended an alumni reception in Amman, Jordan.
Dr. Bobbitt and Office of International Education Director Judy Young hosted an alumni reception in Amman, the capital city, last spring. A handful of prospective students attended along with more than 60 alumni representing some of the nation's best and brightest, including engineers, architects and college deans and professors.
Left: UT Arlington Provost Donald Bobbitt and Khaldoun Madi ('82). Right: Wasan Al-Baldawi ('04), Ahmad Saidat ('06), Kifah Al-Omari ('06) and Rania Al-Omari ('06).
Nasser Lozi, who earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1979, is chief of King Abdullah II's court and has been called the second most powerful person in Jordan. Meisa Batayneh Maani, who graduated in 1980 with an architecture degree, is founder and principal of one of Jordan's leading architecture firms and is married to the mayor of Amman, a position appointed by the king.
The reception was held at the Marriott and featured Jordanian cuisine. Bobbitt and Dr. Young presented awards to Lozi and to Hinda Batayneh Shalan, who organized the reception. They also honored Batayneh family matriarch Bushra Batayneh, whose six children graduated from UT Arlington in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Bobbitt and Young visited three of Jordan's top five universities, signing exchange agreements that enable students and faculty in many disciplines to study and work at UT Arlington.
"Jordan's current position in the modern world is a center for education and modern technology as well as a stabilizing influence in the Middle East," Young says. "The country offers a wide variety of potential study abroad opportunities for UT Arlington students."

Andy Dick, Show Us Your Dance Moves; Aly Raisman Discusses New Dances For DWTS Finals
I can't stop cracking up! What a way to start the morning! See what I mean below…
It's going to be fun to see Andy again next week, isn't it?!!
Aly has also a written a new blog for parade.com. She talks of how much she's grown as a person on Dancing With The Stars. She never expected to have this much fun or to make it this far. Below she talks about Jacoby, the competition, and her new dances with Mark.
It feels amazing to make it to the finals. I've been saying all along that I just really want to make it to this point, and then whatever place I get, I'll be happy with that. Of course, I'd love to win, but I've gotten so much out of this competition that whatever I get I'll be happy. I'm going to work so hard this week. Whatever happens, it's meant to be. I can't work any harder, so it's kind of up to America now.
I don't think Jacoby's intimidated by us three girls at all — or at least he shouldn't be! America loves him. He just won the Super Bowl and he has an amazing personality, so I think he feels really confident. At the same time, he works so hard and he wants it — all of us want to win. I think it's going to be a close competition. I'll be so happy for whoever wins. I don't know who my biggest competition is because you don't know whether America is going for the best dancer to win or if they're looking for someone with a fun personality, or someone who has improved a lot. It just depends on who America is looking for. No one knows what place everyone is in.
Next Monday, we have the samba and the cha-cha challenge with the other three couples, freestyle, and the 24-hour challenge, so this week is a lot of dances, but I'm really excited. It's the last time we have to perform out there, so it's sad because I've been having so much fun. I just want to make the most of these next few days and enjoy it.
Aly has really grown on me. I can't wait to see her in the Finals. I hope she just keeps having fun and letting loose. More at parade.com.

Oy-vey-izmir, here we go again.
Park Slope and downtown Brooklyn was a bissel verklempt when it kicked off Hanukkah on Tuesday with twin menorah lightings that celebrated an ancient miracle — but also re-ignited one of the fiercest feuds since Nimrod and Abraham. And it all boils down to size — what else?
The simmering "Brooklyn Menorah War" — an annual soap with enough kvetching to give bubbeh a headache — bubbled over on Dec. 20, famously re-pitting a pair of spiritual leaders over bragging rights and the most hotly-contested question of the season: Whose glistening pricket is Brooklyn's gonzamacher?
One has courted the inky skies for the past 26 years at Grand Army Plaza, compliments of Rabbi Shimon Hecht of Chabad of Park Slope, who proudly calls his menorah "the world's largest."
The other — or "Brooklyn's official menorah" — has glowed in front of the state Supreme Court building near Borough Hall for around 16 years courtesy of Hecht's nephew, Rabbi Aaron Raskin of Congregation B'nai Avraham of Brooklyn Heights.
To make matters more interesting — just because — Raskin named his menorah after Jacob J. Hecht, a prominent rabbi who just happens to be Shimon Hecht's father!
Let's not forget a few mensches who play supporting roles in this drama: Mayor Bloomberg lit the first candle at Uncle Shimon's gig while Borough President Markowitz performed the honors at Nephew Raskin's revel — a jolly simkhe attended by state Sen. Daniel Squadron (D–Brooklyn Heights) with entertainment by Uncle Moishy, and an after party at Borough Hall.
Both cool illuminations — each featuring knees-ups and latkes — celebrated the Festival of Lights, but the real bolt of enlightenment was the sudden growth spurt the feuding fixtures went through over the last year: Hecht's piece rose from 22 feet to 32 feet this year, while his nephew's taper towered to 29 feet from 25 feet. Hmmm.
Both men didn't return calls for a comment, although in the past they haven't been shemevdik ("shy" to you goys) about tossing down the gauntlet on these very pages.
"We're the official menorah," Raskin's associate, Rabbi Simcha Weinstein, alerted us a few years back. "We're the menorah that Marty Markowitz uses in official photos. Perhaps 'official' isn't the right word, but we're more official than they are."
At the time, Hecht countered by mumbling that his menorah was here longer.
This holiday season, make sure to gaze equally at both of these awesome beacons of light or you could end up being the butt of that old Jewish joke — the one about a mother who gave her son two sweaters for Hanukkah, and when he proudly wore one on his next visit to her, she inquired, "What's the matter? You didn't like the other one?"Reach reporter Shavana Abruzzo at sabruzzo@c

The NHL Shift: Numbers and notes, 1/17/2014
January 17, 2014 09:26 AM
12 hours: That's the length of time between the end of the Kings-Ducks game at Dodger Stadium next Saturday (Jan. 25) and the start of the Rangers-Devils game at Yankee Stadium the following afternoon — yet Jeremy Roenick will be at both. The former NHL star will serve as an NBC Sports Network analyst for the Stadium Series game in Los Angeles and then will board a flight immediately after to work the game in the Bronx for NBC. The telecast from Dodger Stadium is expected to end at 12:30 a.m. ET; NBC's pregame show from New York begins at 12:30 p.m. ET.
50 schools: That's how many Southern California institutions were the beneficiaries of donations of street hockey equipment by the NHL, the Kings and Ducks, and NHL corporate partners earlier this week. The donation was made as part of the NHL's Legacy Initiative, through which the league supports community organizations in the host city of an NHL event — in this case, the Stadium Series game at Dodger Stadium.
1,000 regular-season games: The Columbus Blue Jackets will reach that milestone when they host the Flyers on Thursday. As part of the celebration, all fans will receive a commemorative ticket. There also will be giveaways, including 1,000 pizzas from team sponsor Papa John's. The Blue Jackets played their first game on Oct. 7, 2000, but reaching 1,000 took longer than hoped. The franchise has had the misfortune of having its game schedule halted by a pair of long lockouts. (Fellow 2000 expansion club Minnesota played its 1,000th game last night.)
1 million viewers: That was the mark hit by the Montreal Canadiens for the latest episode of the club's weekly all-access show, "24CH." The show is broadcast in English on CTV and TSN and in French on RDS. Excluding additional viewing on NHL Network and on-demand, the program is averaging 730,000 viewers per episode.
5 years: That's the length of the endorsement deal that Tampa Bay Lightning star Steven Stamkos has signed with Sport Chek, a Canadian sporting goods retailer. Stamkos will appear in the company's advertising campaigns, make in-store appearances and participate in a digital series documenting his life in the NHL.
44 years: That's how long Baltimore-based company STX has been in the lacrosse business before now moving into the hockey market — something it will do this spring with a line of sticks, gloves and other equipment. The company has signed a four-year deal to become an official sponsor and equipment supplier of USA Hockey and also has entered into a multiyear endorsement deal with Sabres left wing Matt Moulson.
• Looking Ahead
Wednesday: "NHL Revealed," the league's seven-part documentary focusing on players in this season's outdoor games, premieres on NBCSN, with a showing the next night in Canada on CBC. Among the stars expected to be highlighted are Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, John Tavares, and Daniel and Henrik Sedin. The series is produced by Toronto-based Bristow Global Media. Ross Greenburg is an executive producer on behalf of the NHL, and IMG Productions SVP Steve Mayer also is serving as an executive producer.

Few industries are as unstable as that which is concerned with the production, refining and distribution of petroleum. It is always either a feast or famine. Until only a few weeks ago, the famine element seemed uppermost; overproduction had created a great surplus of crude oil for the oil companies to carry, prices were declining precipitously, and disaster was frankly anticipated by the trade. But meanwhile the consumption of crude oil and its byproducts, continued to increase. The huge production of automobiles demanded greater amounts of gasoline than ever.

UECU recognized as 'REAL Deal'
Twenty-eight credit unions from around the state of Minnesota were recognized as "The REAL Deal" during the Credit Union National Association's Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C., in late February.
One of the 28 credit unions singled out for recognition was United Educators Credit Union of Woodbury.
According to a release on the designation, "these credit unions exemplify the credit union philosophy of 'people helping people' in a variety of ways as they provide exceptional service to members. "
The Minnesota Credit Union Network is an organization representing the state's 157 not-for-profit cooperative credit unions serving more than 1.5 million member-owners in Minnesota.

Animerica is an Anime Review Show by two American Anime fans called Fox Catcher and Phoenix, played by Alan Morrisey and Will Ryan, respectively. It usually involves them watching an entire anime, while making jokes, pointing out plotholes (which as of now is incredibly frequent in a majority of the episodes), among other things. Unlike most review shows, each episode is connected by an overarching storyline, in a similar fashion as Atop the Fourth Wall. While most of the anime they call terrible, some of them they actually liked, such as Tokyo Majin. Upon Fox Catcher's mysterious disappearance at the end of season 1 (due to Alan Morrisey wanting to quit the show), Phoenix spends the second season reviewing anime alone, and in season 3, is joined by the robot Atlas, played by JT Kamp, Ryan's co-host on their other show, Cover By Cover.
- Berserk Button: Many things for Both Phoenix AND Fox Catcher, the most common being pointless nudity and massive plot holes. See Rape as Drama below.
- Biblical Bad Guy: The ones responsible for the creation of the keys and the unleashing of Viquor Chaos are revealed to be Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel, and Archangel Raphael.
- Big Bad: Archangel Michael, Archangel Gabriel, and Archangel Raphael.
- Bizarre Alien Biology: Fox Catcher's ears.
- Broken Pedestal: Phoenix, in regards to Goro Taniguchi's feelings towards the second season of Code Geass, which he did a marathon review of in December of 2013. While Phoenix initially felt bad towards Taniguchi for the Executive Meddling towards the show, by the time he got to reviewing Episode 20, Phoenix went from pitying Taniguchi to being annoyed, feeling that Taniguchi, for all the trouble he went through making the second season, did nothing to try to curb its declining quality.
- Caustic Critic: Phoenix, and very much so.
- Darker and Edgier: The second season, natch.
- Kids Are Cruel: Phoenix was quite disturbed during the scene from Elfen Lied when those kids brutally beat Lucy's puppy to death, to the point he spared the viewers most of the scene, which he said was too drawn out.
- "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: Invoked a number of times throughout the show.
- Rape as Drama: When reviewing Elfen Lied, Phoenix was SO disgusted with The Scene revealing Mayu was sexually abused by her stepfather. that he had to take a minute to compose himself. He states a minute or so later he was originally going to verbally tear the entire scene apart, he was so angry.
- Ridiculously Human Robot: Atlas.
- Running Gag: From season three onwards, "QUALITY SCENE!"
- So Bad, It's Good: As much as he eviscerated Another in his review, he still says people can give it a watch and enjoy for what it is.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot:
- During his review of Another, he points out that its concept was very good but it was bogged down by filler, underdeveloped characters, and an ending that was more silly than dramatic.
- He also accuses Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit of being this.
- Transformation Trinket: Both Fox Catcher and Phoenix gain what appears to be a Guyver unit, which they will use to morph in order to continue reviews for especially terrible scenes. Unlike most examples of this Trope, They are actually switching places with another entity which will do the scene(s) in their place (or until they themselves can no longer take it).

AIB has ignited possible fire sale but it may get its fingers burnt
ONLY time will tell, and we may learn soon enough, if AIB's legal victory over businessman Anthony O'Reilly will be a pivotal, pyrrhic, precarious – or even a pointless one.
The bailed-out bank may have, as it is utterly, legally entitled to do, triggered a global scramble to get first dibs on the remaining unencumbered assets of Ireland's former richest man.
Yesterday AIB successfully defeated a bid by Mr O'Reilly, who did not contest his €22.6m debt to the state-owned bank – nor, significantly, its bald assertion that he is broke – to secure a six-month stay on the registration and execution of the mammoth judgment.
Mammoth as it seems, the AIB debt is in fact small change compared to Mr O'Reilly's overall personal liabilities of almost €200m – this after disposing assets of some €150m in recent years.
The big business division of the High Court heard that the one-time billionaire secured an understanding with his main creditors.
According to Mr O'Reilly, these creditors (who had their own security for their loans) knew at all times that when it came to the disposal of his unencumbered assets, he would treat them equally.
He said that this personal oath of equality and fairness was relied upon by the banks and, in turn, he relied on their generous forbearance.
The purpose of the reciprocal arrangement was to allow Mr O'Reilly to realise his assets in what was described as an organised and structured fashion, thereby preventing a fire sale and a global frenzy to get ahead of the queue.
The 78-year-old, arguably Ireland's first international entrepreneur, claimed that AIB was part of this essentially gentleman's agreement.
The bank disagreed, saying a series of standalone and long-expired "standstill" agreements governed its relations with their high-profile client.
AIB is already ahead of the queue.
It is a secured creditor with a court judgment.
Its loans to Mr O'Reilly are ultimately secured on a basket of security including significant tracts, but not all, of Mr O'Reilly's Castlemartin Estate in Co Kildare.
As 'D-Day' loomed, Mr O'Reilly offered all of Castlemartin, including a church and burial ground where the remains of his parents and two grandchildren are interred that had not been offered as security for understandable, humanitarian reasons.
In a best-case scenario, the sale of Castlemartin – already being eyed up by international bloodstock concerns – could meet and even beat AIB's €22.6m threshold.
But AIB is not taking any chances.
Fearful that Castlemartin might not make the grade, it opposed any grace period that would allow those financial institutions standing still to get a move on – or a move ahead of them – in countries such as the Bahamas, where Mr O'Reilly now lives.
It did not even want to give Mr O'Reilly this weekend to make certain arrangements.
Mr O'Reilly wanted to pool all his unsecured assets and produce a "waterfall dividend" payable to all his creditors once surpluses of the secured assets were factored in.
But he effectively torpedoed the notion of this cascade when he swore in one court statement that the sale of his secured assets would not discharge the entirety of AIB's debt.
The first court statement said that "even in the most favourable of selling conditions", the realisation of the assets might not discharge the debt, adding that AIB would have recourse to his unencumbered assets.
He was much more optimistic in a second court statement which expressed hope that the sale of Castlemartin would send AIB on its merry way, or at least 90pc of its way.
High Court Judge Mr Justice Peter Kelly was unmoved by Mr O'Reilly's submissions.
The judge even said that on the evidence before him, the encumbered (secured) assets would probably not be enough even to meet AIB's debts.
As a result of Judge Kelly's ruling, AIB retains its first advantage status.
But if the presence of numerous, low-key lawyers on "watching briefs" in the Commercial Court yesterday is anything to go by, AIB will have to embark on some foreign adventures of its own.
The creditors who stood still now have no option but to break their gentleman's accord.
Who knows where this sorry saga will end.
But having lit the fire, however legitimately, does AIB – whose partial interest in Castlemartin may be devalued by a fire sale in any event – run the risk of getting its fingers burnt?

'There's a retro vibe to Detroit singer and guitarist Colton Weatherston, whose eponymous debut CD opens with jaunty versions of '20s and '30s tunes 'On the Sunny Side of the Street,' 'All of Me,' 'Ain't She Sweet' and 'Five Foot Two.' Weatherston, who earned his stripes with the Hot Club of Detroit, has a diaphanous voice and alluringly natural phrasing -- he's a Chet Baker fan -- that helps temper the nostalgia...Worth noting, too, is the cameo by Detroit trumpeter hero Marcus Belgrave, who plays a brief but fiery cup-muted solo on 'There Will Never Be Another You' that strikes like a blitzkrieg of bebop melody.' -Mark Stryker, The Detroit Free Press.

It is one of the most recently developed forms of brain imaging (quote from Wikipedia, www.wikipedia.org) which has opened up a possibility of discovering the relation between the brain anatomy and its function. This, and other recent developments in the imaging of brain states while people undertake behavioural tasks, are providing new opportunities for scientists to study the relations between mental and neural processes. In May 2005 the new £2.25 million Birmingham University Imaging Centre (BUIC) funded through SCRIF2, has been opened. It houses a state-of-the-art, research-based 3T fMRI scanner, along with linked laboratories for experimental preparation and data analysis. BUIC is an inter-disciplinary collaboration between the Schools of Psychology, Medicine and Sport and Exercise Science, with input from Physics, Computer Science and Engineering. Research on the scanner will examine functional activity in a range of organs, from brain to heart, with studies of neural function initially focusing on sensory processing, attention and motor control, pain research, the "neural basis" of the social mind, and functional recovery after brain lesion. The work is supported by grants from the BBSRC, the EPSRC, MRC, the Stroke Association and the Wellcome Trust. Linked to the research using fMRI, neuroscientists are using high resolution EEG/ERP to study the time course and the spatial localisation of neural processes as well as trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to produce temporal alterations in brain activity, with observable effects at a neural as well as a behavioural level. An initial goal of work in BUIC will be to link EEG/ERP and TMS procedures to fMRI activity, providing an advanced understanding of both the spatial and temporal localisation of neural activity, and of the neural networks that determine complex behaviours.

National League Standings, April 28, 1995
After that it was a parade of people running on the field. There were at least three others in seperate incidents, and each of them ran to the outfield to try to jump over the wall. One of them, a fat redheaded guy, ran on right after security pulled another guy off, so he was out there for at least five minutes before they came back to get him. He tried to jump the fence, but could barely even touch the top. After he realized he wasn't making it over the wall, he took pictures of the left fielder, I forget who, and Brett Butler in center. Butler took off his hat and posed for him, holding his hat in the crook of his arm, logo forward.
All in all, a fun day.

I remember this game vividly. As I recall there were only 26,000 of us there but it was the most raucous, rowdy crowd I have ever been in. There must have been at least 10 delays of fans running on the field. The classic was the heavy guy taking Brett Butlers picture in CF, then trying to climb over the fence, to no avail. The game was marred by numerous fights un the stands. I saw MSG analyst Dave Simms after the game, and he said in all his years he has never seem such a wild stadium. Todd Hundley came through with a big bases loaded hit, and this Met fan and his bussies went home happy after a long strike.
April 30, 2009
This was the Mets' only home opener at Shea Stadium that was ever played at night. It wasn't scheduled that way originally, but the delay in starting the season caused by the strike of '94 forced this 7:00PM starting game to serve as the home debut for '95. Every other Shea opener between 1964 and 2008 was played during the daytime.
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate
Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments,

Ally McCoist claims Rangers' squad 'is not the worst in our history'
Manager Ally McCoist insists the current Rangers squad 'is not the worst in our history' as Charles Green has claimed.
Last Updated: 08/04/13 3:14pm
McCoist made his feelings known shortly after the Glasgow giants had moved 24 points clear at the top of the Third Division table with a convincing 4-1 victory over Queen's Park at Hampden.
He said: "Charles is relatively new to Rangers. He knows the job he's got to do, and we've all got to do, and we're looking forward to doing it.
"In my opinion, it's not the worst Rangers team.
"I'm not sure how many titles Charles has won in his career but I've been very fortunate to win 14 at our football club, including as assistant manager.
"That title we were all involved in just there is the hardest one.
"I know what it takes to win a title. It doesn't matter what division you are in, it takes a special group of people and talent and hard work to win titles.
"We've got a group of boys who were assembled in the space of six or seven days and have managed to win a title and they are 24 points clear.
"I would think everybody could maybe take a wee step back and offer some congratulations to those boys. I'm certainly doing that right now."
As for the match on Sunday, he added: "The boys have been receiving a fair bit of criticism, a lot of it correctly, over one or two recent performances but I thought we were very good today."
Spiders boss Gardner Speirs said: "I thought we played really well. We made a number of good chances but we were out-done by experience."

Job openings aren't plentiful in Las Vegas and the city certainly isn't known for having a high volunteerism rate. Yet Las Vegas made the top 12 in a Relocation.com list of the "Best Cities for a Fresh Start."
The top nine are Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Charlotte, Denver, Columbus, Indianapolis, Washington-Baltimore, Atlanta, and Oklahoma City.
Las Vegas is tied at No. 10 with Houston and Seattle.
Besides jobs and the volunteerism rate, another criteria is affordable housing -- and Las Vegas seems to be getting more affordable by the day.
"With the unemployment rate climbing as the national economy sags, more people are searching for communities that offer greater economic opportunity and a better standard of living,'' Relocation.com said this week.
The company said it took a wide-ranging look at factors that would appeal to someone looking for a fresh start.
The factors include city ``popularity'' based on consumer requests for moving quotes to move to that city; economic-growth prospects; home affordability and the strength of a community as reflected by volunteerism rates.
Relocation.com said it looked at communities with more than 1 million people.
"Although many midsized cities are flourishing, they tend to be tied to a single industry or a government agency, while larger cities generally have more diverse economic bases,'' the company said.
Despite the general lack of volunteerism and community engagement in Las Vegas, there are plenty of individuals and companies stepping up to improve things here. A few examples:
-- Cox Communications said it hopes to raise $10,000 for Clark County School District teachers from now through June 30 by donating $10 for each new Cox service ordered by existing or new customers.
The donation will benefit the Teacher EXCHANGE, an initiative of The Public Education Foundation. Eligible services include Cox Digital Telephone, Cox Digital Cable or Cox High Speed Internet.
"With the current budget crisis in Nevada, our schools and teachers have been impacted tremendously," Steve Schorr, vice president of public and government affairs for Cox Las Vegas, said in a statement. "This is a great way to take advantage of low prices on Cox services and benefit local educators at the same time."
For more information, call 939-8111 and mention: DONATE09.
--MedicWest Ambulance is starting an Explorer Post program for students between 15 and 18 who are interested in the emergency medical services field.
As ambulance explorers, students will receive training in emergency medicine, exposure to real-life emergency situations and opportunities to become involved in the community.
An open house will be held tonight (May 22) at 6 p.m. for those who are interested in the program. The event will provide interested individuals with program requirements and a chance to talk to Explorer Post advisors.
The open house will be held at MedicWest Ambulance headquarters, 9 W. Delhi Ave., (near the Cheyenne Boulevard and North 5th Street intersection) in North Las Vegas.
For more information, call Dan Llamas at 650-9900.

In 2004, Mixer formed the Mixed-use Division – recently restructured and named the Resort & Gaming Group – with partner Alex Rodrigo, with a primary focus on urban high-rise projects, gaming properties, mixed-use and redevelopment sites in and around the Las Vegas resort corridors and University District.
Colliers said that in the past two years, the Resort & Gaming Group closed more than $1.2 billion in transactions and represented such clients as MGM Mirage, The Related Companies, American Nevada Corporation, Wynn Resorts and Morgans Hotel Group.
Mixer also is co-founder of the Links for Life Foundation; a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to raising and distributing funds for disadvantaged children in Southern Nevada, and has completed special projects for Opportunity Village and the Children's Miracle Network.
Also at Colliers International – Las Vegas, Patrick Murray joined the group to lead in expanding its Real Estate Management Services arm. As a managing partner and senior vice president, Murray will be responsible for Colliers' current portfolio of 14.5 million square feet of retail, office and industrial/flex properties located throughout Nevada and California. Gretchen Lee, who currently serves as senior portfolio manager, will remain the primary contact and facilitator of all Nevada properties.
Murray comes to Colliers International from San Francisco-based investment firm McMorgan & Company LLC, where as senior vice president he oversaw a $1.6 billion national portfolio.

He has more than 27 years of diverse commercial real estate experience including asset management, property management, acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, development and distressed asset redevelopment.
"In today's challenging market, property owners are going to be looking for guidance and a quality organization to help lead them through these difficult times," Murray said in a statement. "Colliers International takes a very entrepreneurial approach to looking at problems. They think creatively, work with integrity and always put the owners' interests first. They hold on to top talent and I'm very pleased to be a part of the organization."
"Colliers International is looking forward to Patrick Murray joining us and working alongside Gretchen Lee," Michael Campbell, managing partner for Colliers International – Las Vegas, said in the statement. "Colliers property management is poised to expand its services for distressed properties. With Patrick's strong background and Gretchen's knowledge of the Nevada markets, it is a well suited partnership that will continue the Colliers' tradition of excellent service for our clients."

The Abe & Louise Jaramillo Garden of Hope at Nevada Cancer Institute (NVCI) opened May 21 during a dedication ceremony, giving patients and their families a peaceful spot to meditate in and be surrounded by nature's beauty.
The garden was created and given to NVCI by the Jaramillo family, which has experienced the loss of seven family members to cancer between 2001 and 2007.
As a result, the family partnered with NVCI to design and install The Abe & Louise Jaramillo Garden of Hope for cancer patients, their families and NVCI staff.
NVCI said the Jaramillo family is focused on bettering the community and helping those affected by cancer.
"We wanted to give cancer patients and their families a place to gather their thoughts and give them the courage to face what lies ahead of them," said Nina Jaramillo Washawanny, a granddaughter of Abe and Louise Jaramillo, who helped spearhead the garden. "We also wanted to give workers a place to get a reprieve so that as employees, they will have the strength to keep on doing what they do every day – help save lives and give patients hope."
The dedication ceremony included a ribbon cutting and presentation from Sen. John Ensign's office in support of The Abe & Louise Jaramillo Garden of Hope. Jaramillo family members, supporters, patients and staff were present to tour the gardens.
"At Nevada Cancer Institute, we are honored to partner with the Jaramillo Family; we admire their strength and generosity," said John C. Ruckdeschel, M.D., NVCI director and chief executive officer. "We share in the Jaramillo's vision that hope is at the heart of any cancer patient's journey."
Nevada Sen. Harry Reid met this week with Rob Dorinson, president of Evergreen Recycling in Las Vegas and the Small Business Administration's Small Business Person of the Year 2009 from Nevada.

The schedule:
Ingot Ceremony, Sunday, 11:30 a.m.
The public is invited to watch as children from all over the valley assist in passing the bronze ingots into the furnace, where they will be heated to 2,200 degrees.
Bell Pouring, Sunday, 6:30 p.m.
Watch as the molten metal is poured into a custom inscripted mold made especially for this historic event.
Bell Breakout, Monday, 10 a.m.
After the bronze has cooled and is ready to go, watch The Smith Center shatter the mold and produce a brilliant bell.
The First Ring & Groundbreaking Ceremony, Tuesday, 10 a.m.
Once the bell has been polished, organizers said it will ring in a new era in downtown Las Vegas as the ceremonial first peals announce the official groundbreaking.
The events are at the construction site on Grand Central Parkway, just north of Bonneville Avenue.

TAIPEI, Taiwan, March 3 (UPI) -- A Taiwanese court has rejected an appeal by former Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian, who was seeking release from detention.
Chen was ordered Tuesday to be held in custody for an additional two months. He was first detained Dec. 30, Xinhua reported.
Chen, who is accused of corruption, could face life in prison. Officials say he took bribes worth $29 million.
A Taipei court noted Chen's attempts to delay his prosecution when it ordered him detained further.
"Under the current circumstances, it will be very hard to hold more trials if Chen Shui-bian is not detained," the court said.
Since Chen was likely to destroy or change evidence and collude with witnesses, it wouldn't be effective enough not to confine him, the court said.

UK gay charity publishes the guide: 'So you think your child is gay?'
UK based charity Stonewall has released a guide offering advice for parents on how to support their children if they are gay, lesbian or bisexual
Coming out can be a difficult and confusing time for both teens and their parents.
That's why UK based charity Stonewall has released 'So you think your child is gay?', a guide offering advice and answering questions for parents on the topic of their son or daughter's sexuality.
The 10 page pocket-sized guide includes answers to the questions: 'How do I know it's not just a phase?', 'Does this mean I'm not going to have children?' and 'Will we still be welcome at church?'.
Andy Wasley from Stonewall said: 'We get a lot of calls through our information service from young people seeking advice about coming out. But we do get calls from parents as well and they can get stressed about it too.
'It just struck us that there weren't any resources out there to help parents and that's why we thought there needs to be a guide that offers support and advice', he added.
The release of the guide follows the charity's Living Together report in 2012, which shows 81% of people in Britain would be comfortable if their children grew up to be lesbian, gay or bisexual.
'The statistics from the report really showed anything that can help make coming out that little bit easier needs to be available', Wasley said.
'From a personal point of view I think it's absolutely fantastic. It's the kind of thing I really wish had been around when I was growing up', he added.
Stonewall will be handing out copies to local authorities, GP surgeries, libraries and schools across Britain.

(Adds analyst comments in 5th paragraph and context)
BRASILIA, April 16 (Reuters) - Brazil's economic activity slowed sharply in February from January, central bank data showed on Wednesday, suggesting a weak start to the year that could pressure the central bank to halt its year-long campaign of interest rate hikes.
The central bank's IBC-Br economic activity index rose 0.24 percent in February from January in seasonally adjusted terms, slightly below the market forecast for an increase of 0.3 percent.
Economic activity growth in January was revised up to 2.35 percent from a previously reported 1.26 percent, according to central bank data. The index for December was also revised to a bigger drop of 2.26 percent from a decline of 1.40 percent previously.
The Brazilian economy is expected to post a fourth straight year of subpar growth as a slow global recovery and supply bottlenecks at home hurt activity in Latin America's largest economy.
"It reinforces our forecast of moderate growth in the first quarter of 2014," economists with Santander Global Banking & Markets, adding they estimate the economy will grow 0.4 percent in the first quarter versus the previous quarter.
The central bank has raised rates by 375 basis points to 11 percent since April of last year to battle inflation that has remained stubbornly high despite lackluster growth.
The sharp increase in borrowing costs is expected to further slow the economy, which is expected to grow only 2 percent this year, economists said.
The bank has warned it is near the end of the tightening cycle despite a spike in food prices caused by a drought in southeastern Brazil.
In the 12 months through February, economic activity grew 2.57 percent from 2.29 percent in January.
The IBC-Br index, a gauge of activity in the farming, industry and services sectors, rose a non-seasonally adjusted 4.04 percent over the same month a year ago. (Reporting by Alonso Soto; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama, Bernadette Baum and Sofina Mirza-Reid)

I honestly don't think I've taken a single picture for over a week, but here are a few of the events happening at our humble abode...
***We began work on "Oklahoma" (the musical) in choir. Aaron's directing, I'm the accompanist. I was in this musical in high school, so it's kind of fun to relive that memory, albeit from a different perspective. When we were performing it, I remember thinking "wow, that accompaniment sounds really tough." Now I get to play it, and it's still pretty tough!!! But it's definitely more manageable for me than it would have been 17 yrs. ago!!!
***Basketball, basketball, and more basketball. We've had lots of district BB games, and our girls even made it to state. Miranda and I rode along with the band yesterday, down to Lincoln, where, unfortunately, our girls lost. But they have played really well and had a great season. It was fun to go, even though we were the lone females on a bus of jr. high and high school boys. Made for an interesting trip, to say the least. :)
***Sonya's newest phrase: "good luck with that." I'm not sure where she heard that, but we've been hearing it more and more frequently. It's quite funny coming from a 3-yr.-old, but I'm sure we could grow weary of it very soon.
That about sums it up. Hope I can take some pictures this week!

Banking & Finance
Layoffs are slowly creeping into Wall Street's plans at banks like Morgan Stanley - which is laying off brokers - and Barclays, which is reducing its global team that analyzes and sells stocks. In both cases, the banks say that the layoffs are unrelated to declining revenue. Veterans of the Street may find that hard to believe; layoffs unrelated to revenue usually occur across a bank, not in one or two units. Still, it's hard to tell why heads would be getting chopped now, in the middle of the year: regulatory reform has not yet taken place, so that's not a plausible pressure on earnings. The Fed has maintained enormous help for the markets through its program of buying up Treasury bonds to keep interest rates down. True, banks may be worried about what will happen to the stock market when QE2 ends.
Big banks aren't the bargain that they might seem, says David Weidner.
Markets & Traders
Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, lays out the essentials of financial reform.
Meredith Whitney versus S&P: the muni-market showdown.
Economists believe QE3 is practically a sure thing.
The Economy
Jamie Dimon predicted we'd have a recession back in 2007.
The junk-bond market says we're having a recession right now. As we speak. The stock market is still picturing unicorns and Care Bears and sleeping under Strawberry Shortcake sheets.
Robert Shiller says home prices may keep sliding for 20 years.
Politicians & Regulation
Is the Senate getting nastier in its confirmation fights?
Recreational Reading
Sarah Jessica Parker has been cast as a hedge-fund manager. Luckily, she can still keep the bawdy jokes from her Sex & The City days.

No exaggeration! My now Husband made me these very pancakes (pictured above) the first time I went to stay with him, and that was it, love at first bite.
They aren't like the crepes i grew up with (though i do love the traditional lemon and sugar versions). They are fluffy, filling, and spongey. They make a hearty breakfast, brunch, or dinner. They can even be eaten cold in lunch boxes (if you have any left).
We love to cook and eat these on Birthdays, Anniversaries, and of course Shrove Tuesday.
The recipe is originally from Stephanie Alexander's 'Cook's Companion'
You will need:
- 3 eggs (separated)
- 2 cups of buttermilk (ideally at room temp)
- 60g melted butter
- 300g plain flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Excel 2007
Hi there,
I just installed Office 2007, used to have 2003 and now I cannot save my shared files anymore I get an error message when I try to log in stating that an unexpected file protection occured by System Admin. Then when I try to save a file I get an error message saying that I violated the sharing file and I must save it under a new name, but I need to save it under the same file name since I'm sharing it with 3 other computers.
Can someone please help.
Thanks in advance!
|My System Specs
|23 Jan 2010
windows 7 RTM x64
Are the other 3 computers running office 2007 as well? For sharing you really need to have all of the computers running the same version of office.
Could you please translate those "word for word" into english. Does anyone else have that "shared file" open? Try saving it as a different name, then renaming the original file to some other name (ie. add _old to the file name.) Then rename your new file to whatever the original was named.

Donna E. Froeba, age 78, of Colby, passed away Tuesday, July 1, 2014 at the Pine Ridge Assisted Living Facility of Colby with her daughter, Bonnie, by her side. A Memorial Service will be at 2:00 PM Monday, July 7, 2014 at the Maurina-Schilling Funeral Home in Abbotsford. Reverend William Finn will officiate. Inurnment will take place at St. Anthony's Catholic Cemetery in Loyal. A visitation will be held from 12:00 noon until the time of service on Monday.
Donna was born January 28, 1936 to Theodore and Etta (Beverley) Gregory in Owen, WI. They later moved to Loyal, where she attended Saint Anthony's Catholic School and was a 1953 graduate of Loyal High School. On October 7, 1953 Donna married the love of her life, Thomas R. Froeba, at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Loyal.
The newlywed couple moved to Colby for a short time and then bought a small farm east of Abbotsford. In 1972, they relocated to Loyal where Donna owned and managed the Loyal IGA grocery store. In1975, they sold the store and moved back to Colby where they ended up retiring. After the death of her husband, Tom, she settled in New London, WI in 2012 to be close to her daughter, Bonnie, and has resided at Pine Ridge Assisted Living since April 2014.
Donna also held many jobs through her younger years. She was secretary for Robert W. Klinner & Associates CPA in Marshfield, legal secretary for DA Clarence Gorsinger in Loyal, secretary for O.W. Trindal of Loyal, and a secretary for the Wisconsin Women's Bowling Association.
She was a longtime member of the Colby VFW Post #2227 Ladies Auxiliary and a member of the Loyal Snow Angels snowmobile club.
Donna had a true love for music and it all started in high school when she played clarinet for the Loyal High School Band. She was also the marching band's majorette and led them with her baton twirling. She also loved to play the organ and keyboard. In her younger years, Donna enjoyed snowmobiling and was an avid bowler and bowled on many leagues. Of recent, she loved to collect jewelry and enjoyed watching the Packers and the Badgers and would always listen to the UW Madison Marching Band, which brought back fond memories of her marching days. But most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She is lovingly survived by her children; Daniel Froeba who currently resides at Marathon County Health Care Center in Wausau and Bonnie (Rev. William) Finn of Dale, WI, her grandchildren; Kari (Tim) Smazal, Amy Froeba, Sara Graffunder, and Rebecca, Billy, and Tommy Finn, and her great-grandchildren; Brooke, Dylan, Ashlyn, Kenley, Tylee, Gabryelle, Lukas, Lillyann, and John.
Donna is preceded in death by her husband; Thomas R. Froeba on January 17, 2011, parents; Theodore Gregory and Etta Beverley and all of her siblings; Beverley Beaver, Arthur Gregory and Sharon Durst

FALFURRIAS, Texas, May 6 (UPI) -- Ranchers and residents along the Texas border with Mexico say the rush of illegal immigrants into the United States is "out of control."
The comments to U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, were made Sunday when he met with South Texas property owners in Falfurrrias, the San Antonio Express News reported Monday.
"The border is out of control," Presnall Cage, who manages a ranch near a Border Patrol checkpoint, told Cornyn. "And nobody wants to take a hold of this thing because it is so politically sensitive."
Brooks County, where Cage's ranch is situated, recorded 129 deaths last year of immigrants who died in the region's desert-like conditions while crossing into the United States. So far this year, 19 bodies have been recovered.
Cornyn was presented with photographs of dozens of people apprehended by the Border Patrol with the help of the Texas Border Volunteers, a group of volunteer ranchers and citizens who patrol the county for immigrants.
The senator was touring South Texas in advance of a Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday on a bill that calls for stricter border enforcement. The bipartisan proposal aims for 90 percent effectiveness and 100 percent surveillance of the border before most undocumented immigrants could take steps toward citizenship.

Pumas unchanged for All Blacks clash
Argentina have stuck with the same starting line-up to face New Zealand in the Rugby Championship this weekend.
The Pumas were narrowly beaten 23-19 by Australia last time out, and as a result, coach Santiago Phelan has opted not to tinker with his first-choice XV.
He does make two bench changes, though, with Marcos Ayerza and Tomas Vallejos replacing Juan Pablo Orlandi and Leonardo Senatore.
Argentina are yet to win a game in the four-team competition, with a draw against South Africa their best return so far.
Argentina team to face New Zealand: Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, Gonzalo Camacho, Marcelo Bosch, Santiago Fernandez, Horacio Agulla, Juan Martin Hernandez, Martin Landajo, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe (captain), Juan Manuel Leguizamon, Julio Farias Cabello, Patricio Albacete, Manuel Carizza, Juan Figallo, Eusebio Guinazu, Rodrigo Roncero.
Reserves: Agustin Creevy, Marcos Ayerza, Tomas Vallejos, Tomas Leonardi, Nicolas Vergallo, Martin Rodriguez, Juan Imhoff.

My boyfriend ordered me some things off Moonpig for Valentine's day a few days ago(I don't know exactly what he ordered as he was HOPING to give me a lovely surprise). After making an effort to ensure there was somebody at home all day today it is now gone 8pm and there is no sign of any delivery whatsoever. Also my boyfriend has had the same problems as everyone else trying to ring the customer services number and getting nowhere, just being put on hold, or finding the number engaged. He has also found that a number of his colleagues have had exactly the same problem, which I think frankly is ridiculous.
I have personally used Moonpig a hell of a lot in the past for friends and familys birthday's etc, but I will not be using it again, they have most definitely lost a customer. Ridiculous.

Fingers were crossed really tight among Cowboy nation, but all the good thoughts paid off as the New Mexico Highlands baseball team (32-20) learned it will continue the 2014 season with a berth in the national playoffs.

When it came to oratory in the last campaign, no Tory was more outspoken than white-haired Lord Woolton, 68, the party chairman. From the hustings, he promised British housewives that the Tories would provide "more red meat," and would not tamper with Labor's food subsidies. Once back in office, the Tories behaved not as Lord Woolton promised, but as circumstances compelled. Down went the meat ration; up went food prices as Chancellor "Rab" Butler reduced food subsidies. "Uncle Fred" Woolton (who became a household name to Britons during his able wartime administration of food rationing) was plainly embarrassed by Labor's taunts...

Joseph Joseph Twist Whisk
Whisks are notorious drawer-jammers, but the Joseph Joseph Twist Whisk morphs from a batter-beating balloon shape to a sauce-blending (and easy-storing) flat one with just a twist of the handle. Cleaning is simple, too. "We wanted it to be easy to disassemble," says designer Oliver Craig. "All you have to do is pull the end off and throw it in the dishwasher." [$10; josephjoseph.com]

Fire Fighters endorse Rick Baker for mayor
The firefighters union has endorsed former mayor Rick Baker, saying he is "tough, but fair" in negotiations and better addresses the department's needs than incumbent Mayor Rick Kriseman.
Rick Pauley, president of the St. Petersburg Association of Fire Fighters, told the Tampa Bay Times that Baker, who they endorsed twice in 2001 and 2005, made sure the department had what it needed in a "timely manner."
Kriseman was always receptive to a meeting, Pauley said, but didn't deliver results on equipment or concerns about staffing and call volumes.
"St. Petersburg is safer with Rick Baker as mayor," Pauley said in a news release.
The mayor did deliver a new fire station, but Pauley said the decrepit condition of the old station gave Kriseman little choice.
IAFF Local 747 represents 417 firefighters and paramedics who live in St. Petersburg, Lealman and South Pasadena.
Kriseman has the police union's support. A state-of-the-art police headquarters didn't hurt.
The Florida Public Services Union, which represents a large chunk of city workers, hasn't yet made a choice in the mayor's race.
The Kriseman campaign responded with a statement from the mayor.
"I'll always be proud of the men and women who put their lives on the line every day. As mayor, I'll continue to ensure that we have the best trained, best equipped first responders that keep us and our city safe."
