Rico is a very sweet 10 year old Morab gelding with beautiful gaits and lots of personality. Loves people and attention and gets along well with other horses. Loads great in the trailer and stands for the farrier. He has been ridden by my 14 year old daughter, but has not been ridden since last fall and will need an experienced rider. We are looking for a loving home for this great horse!

Not necessarily for 14-yrs. Generally those who place Magog pre-trib (as I do, though not without some misgivings as I noted in a older thread) will point out that the burning of weapons for 7-years will commence a minimum of 3 1/2 yrs before the Trib begins and end at, or close to, the abomination of desolation since - as the argument goes - it's difficult to imagine Israel having the time to burn weapons for fuel during the final 3 1/2 years of the Trib when they will be in flight from their enemies.

I posted this on another thread.. What I cannot understand how the Middle East region will be fit for human population if there is nuclear conflict on a large scale. Think of Chernobyl. I mean, it will affect the rest of the world as well!
My son, do not make light of the Lords discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children.
Hebrews 12:5,6,7
14"'After the seven months they will carry out a more detailed search. 15 As they go through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will leave a marker beside it until the gravediggers bury it in the Valley of Hamon Gog,
A military nuclear response dictates that if you find human remains in an area that has had a nuclear incident, you are to mark them. Then, specialized hazmat response units will come in and remove and bury those bones in a designated area.
I'm not saying it is nuclear or not, just letting you know why some people believe it might be.
Ah, yeah, I was aware of that . I was responding to Lightseeker's comment since I thought that she believed the text of Ezek 38-39 (or maybe she was thinking of Isa 17?) stated that nukes will be involved but that she couldn't get her head around how exactly this could happen. However, now that I reread her comment, it seems she was simply arguing that she doesn't believe nukes are involved at all.
Praying for the people of Damascus, the surrounding region, and all areas in harm's way.
Praying that many will repent and come to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
Praying also for safety for believers in those areas.
In Jesus' name, amen.
I guess I was asking about this:
And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Zechariah 14:12
and Isaiah 17
My son, do not make light of the Lords discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children.
Hebrews 12:5,6,7
Hmm, well that passage is dealing with events that occur right at the end of the Trib inconjunction with the 2nd Coming so if that is speaking of the effects of nukes, neutron bombs, etc., then we have to remember that Jesus will regenerate the earth shortly after that, thereby making the earth fit for human habitation anyway. I will say though that if we compare scripture with scripture, we see in Habakkuk 3:4 that when Jesus comes rays will shoot from His hands, and this probably better explains Zechariah's comment about flesh melting rather than it being done through manmade weapons.
As for Isa 17, I can't see anywhere it says nukes are used. It does say Damascus will be made into rubble, which could be the result of a nuke attack but it does not force us to conclude that. If so, this is just Damascus and may not indicate the entire mid-east is hit. Also, I personally am not convinced as yet (I'd need to see more evidence) that Isa 17 is pre-trib anyway.

I want to hear your thoughts on this prophecy & do you believe it will happen before or after the rapture. Isaiah 17:1-3 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts. My hope is that the rapture is 1st & we are in heaven. This is a rapture ready article I found http://www.raptureready.com/featured...Isaiah_17.html
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Love RR Family, Janice
LightOfMyLife, I do hope as you that the rapture is first but as things progress we can only truly wait and see. Events are escalating and prophecy is just sitting there...waiting their time. We too are waiting...tired of this world and all the evil.
I was actually wondering about this earlier today. I was thinking that if there is a period between Isaiah 17 and Ezekiel 37, 38, then where might the rapture fit? The AC would not need appear until after the Ezekiel war which would mean that we could be here to see the Isaiah 17 war. Only speculating of course.
i think Isaiah 17:1 could definitely happen before the Rapture.
There is something that happens that alerts us to the super immenicy of the rapture. I think Isa 17 might be it.
Psalm 83 is a parallel passage to Isaiah 17. Here is a good article that shows the parallels:
As I point out here....
I believe we will be raptured before that war.
I'm expecting a sudden deluge of prophecy completion.
This time by fire.
And no We will not be here to see it all.
We'll have Box Seats.
It's ALL about Jesus. The Son of God - Emanuel - The Mighty God - Our Salvation.
John 1:1-3 NKJV --- Luke 22:42 NKJV --Romans 3:23 NKJV, Rom 5:8 NKJV, Rom 8:28 NKJV, Rom 8:31 NKJV, Rom8:38-39 NKJV, ---Titus 1:2 NKJV - Heb 6:18 NKJV --- John 14:6 NKJV --- 1 John 5:13 NKJV --- Acts 16:29-31 NKJV ... John 6:28-29 NKJV... 1John 2:22 NKJV... Heb 10:11-13 NKJV
Oh Look,... an Atheist........I Don't believe it....
I have often wondered about the timing of Isaiah 17 myself. Now with the news of Iran sending ships to Syria "for training" ( yeah, right) and making closer ties with Syria, plus the discovery of more nuke plants near Damascus, I think Isaiah 17 could happen before the rapture. Would add to the mess that occurs that the AC is supposed to offer peace from. Sit tight, it's getting bumpy. Don't be scared, He is holding us in the palm of His hand, and no one and nothing can snatch us away from Him.
my first line in the previous post says "for training" (yeah, right) but for some
reason when it posted, it dropped off the word 'training'. Just wanted to clarify.

Of the Keizertimes
Delinquent taxes on two Keizer Station properties are a hot topic once again.
In a letter dated June 4 to Keizer Mayor Lore Christopher, state Sen. Tim Knopp and Rep. Gene Whisnant wrote on behalf of their constituents, Timm and Linda Rawlins of Redmond. As mentioned in the Keizertimes in April 2011, the Rawlins have two properties situated between Volcanoes Stadium and the Bonneville Power Administration substation.
At the time, both representatives from Rawlins Real Estate and developer Chuck Sides acknowledged Sides was responsible for making local improvement district (LID) payments. Sides was behind on payments at the time, a situation that has continued.
"I want you to understand we are just ma and pa making a few thousand dollars," Linda Rawlins said at the time.
Reached at her business in Redmond Monday in regards to last week's letter, Linda said, "I don't know if I'm ready to talk about it today" and had no further comment.

How to combine 2internet line in win7?
I had been read a forum that mentioned about connecting 2 internet lines together with windows 7 and the result is that speed equal to ISP1+ISP2 (like link aggression), but I can't get that result
My current setting is
Local Area Connection
IP : 192.168.1.3/24 (assign by DHCP)
DNS+Gateway : Obtain
ISP Speed : 2.5 Mbps
Connection type : CAT5e
Local Area Connection2
IP: 192.168.2.1/24 (assign by DHCP)
DNS+Gateway : Obtain
ISP Speed : 4 Mbps
Connection type : CAT5e
|My System Specs
|02 Dec 2009
Can't be done. Two can be active, but you can't combine them to get combined speed. Windows will randomly use one or the other at its will. Never bot together for the same connection at the same time.
|My System Specs
|02 Dec 2009
I'm already set it&I comfirm win7 can do it.
For me
ISP 1 Speed is 2.5 Mbps
ISP 2 Speed is 4.0 Mbps
Reseault is I can download(bit torrent) 601 KB/s
|My System Specs
|02 Dec 2009
Bittorrent connects to countless peers simultaneously. Not one connection using both ISPs at same time.
Like if you download from Microsoft or anywhere, a single file, it will still only use one ISP.

Experience the Real fact
Dr. Jayaprasad Karunakaran BHMS
The truth of the law of nature on which our system is based is being repeatedly verified by the Homoeopaths practicing all over the world. If the symptoms of a given case be known, the law of relation (Similia Similibus Curentur) will at once point to the appropriate remedy and we can trust upon this medicine with confidence, even though no such case of disease has ever subjected to treatment by homoeopathic physicians.
HIV/AIDS the most dreaded, most discussed STD of the past three decades, is still out of the reach of Homoeopaths all over the world. The dominant school of medicine having better infrastructure than ours have done many researches and reached at the conclusion that this disease has no therapeutic management. Physicians of our system having no research infrastructures and who depend on the dominant school scientists for the current knowledge about every disease, always dreaded to come forward with any solid evidences about the homoeopathic management of HIV / AIDS.
Most experts believe that HIV probably transferred to humans as a result of direct contact with primates, for instance during hunting or butchery. A more controversial theory known as the OPV AIDS hypothesis suggests that the AIDS epidemic was inadvertently started in the late 1950s in the Belgian Congo by Hilary Koprowski's research into a poliomyelitis vaccine. According to scientific consensus, this scenario is not supported by the available evidence.
A recent study states that HIV probably moved from Africa to Haiti and then entered the United States around 1969.
Conventional Treatment
Current treatment for HIV infection consists of highly active antiretroviral therapy, or HAART. Current optimal HAART options consist of combinations (or "cocktails") consisting of at least three drugs belonging to at least two types, or "classes," of antiretroviral agents. Typical regimens consist of two nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NARTIs or NRTIs) plus either a protease inhibitor or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI).
HAART allows the stabilization of the patient's symptoms and viremia, but it neither cures the patient of HIV, nor alleviates the symptoms, and high levels of HIV-1, often HAART resistant, return once treatment is stopped. Moreover, it would take more than the lifetime of an individual to be cleared of HIV infection using HAART. HAART is thought to increase survival time by between 4 and 12 years. This average reflects the fact that for some patients – and in many clinical cohorts this may be more than fifty percent of patients – HAART achieves far less than optimal results. This is due to a variety of reasons such as medication intolerance/side effects, prior ineffective antiretroviral therapy and infection with a drug-resistant strain of HIV. The complexity of these HAART regimens, whether due to pill number, dosing frequency, meal restrictions or other issues, along with side effects that create intentional non-adherence, also has a weighty impact.
The side effects include lipodystrophy, dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, an increase in cardiovascular risks and birth defects.
My experience
I came to this field of treating HIV/AIDS very unexpectedly by attending a male child aged 1 year and 3 months. The child was brought to me during my general practice at Ottasekharamangalam, as the child showed marked reduction in haemoglobin count along with respiratory infection he was referred to Sree Avittam Thirunal (SAT) Hospital, Medical College Thiruvananthapuram.The child was diagnosed HIV positive there. Both parents are also diagnosed HIV positive. Because of the lack of attention from the Doctors and Nursing staff there, they brought the child back to my treatment.
I administered Homoeopathic Medicine after analyzing the symptoms and the child recovered from the respiratory complaints soon. I understood that all the disease condition the child developed thereafter were opportunistic disease of HIV. Due to the good result observed while treating the child, the parents also started Homoeopathic treatment.
The CD4 count of the child showed marked increase from 350 in Oct 2002 to 949 in March 2008. This gave me great confidence and I devoted most of my time in observing and treating HIV/AIDS persons. Next I treated a HIV positive case with oral candidiasis. Then I treated a lady with chronic skin lesion of three and half year duration (the lesion appeared like Kaposi's Sarcoma). She was a positive speaker of KSACS (Kerala State Aids Control Society). Within three months her skin lesions subsided and also her general health improved. This incidence brought many HIV positive persons under my treatment. Now I am working as Consulting Physician under Thiruvananthapuram District Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS which comprise about 450 HIV positive peoples since four years.
In my experience Homoeopathic Medicines are showing miraculous work in containing the opportunistic infections due to HIV/AIDS. Many opportunistic infections- oral candidiasis, skin leisions, respiratory infection and others are very well manageable by Homoeopathic treatment.
Here I want to make one thing clear that, the homoeopathic tools I employed were our age-old materia medica, philosophy and the repertories. I have nothing special or new to present before you concerning the management of these cases. I haven't found any new medicines or developed any other specific routes or shortcuts for the management of these cases. I tried only to individualize each case and had given much importance for antimiasmatic treatment. Also I compelled my patients to follow the diet and regimen as explained in the book "Chronic Diseases" by our master.
The medicines that showed efficacy in relieving their symptoms were Nux vom, Sulphur, Psorinum, Merc sol, Syphillinum Thuja, Nitric acid, Medo, Ars alb, Acon, Phos, Tuberc, Carbo veg, Silicea, Rhustox etc. The above experience helped me to reach the following conclusions.
Homoeopathic medicines are found highly effective in the treatment of opportunistic infections found associated with HIV/AIDS. This treatment produces no side effects or any deterioration of general health of the patient.
Patients who were treated by Homoeopathic medicine showed improvement in CD4 Count and reduction in viral load.
Homoeopathic medicines were found effective even in patients who discontinued their treatment due to side effect of ART (Anti Retroviral Therapy).
Now about 450 HIV positive persons under my observation and about 50 of them are using Homoeopathic medicines. About ten HIV positive persons showed marked improvement in CD4 count. I am having the lab reports, still & video pictures with me for proving the above mentioned cases. I hope the authorities may give due importance to the above facts and utilize this great system of medicine for the betterment of peoples living with HIV/AIDS.

Family letter with family histories for Gibson, Mashburn, Basham, Johnston
Categories: Arkansa to California, 1884
A letter written by Lillian Gibson Winter.....
My grandfather Joseph Gibson was born in Kingston, Arkansas, 1813. [further research indicates that he was most likely born in Tennessee, 1813]He married, but his first wife passed (Mary Elizabeth Mashburn d. 1849/1850) leaving him with several children, my father, George L. Gibson being one of the youngest. My grandmother, Mary Ann Johnston, was born in Tennessee and came to Kingston to live. Her first husband Mr. James Basham, passed on and left her with four small children, my mother Margaret being the eldest.
These two families were unitedby the marriage of my father's father [Joseph Gibson] to my mother's mother [Mary Ann Johston Basham].
When my father, George Lafayette Gibson, was twelve years old, the Civil War broke out and he was called to the Southern Army, since he lived in the south. He served four years and on June 8, 1865, received parole at Shreveport LA. George served the entire war in Company D of the 27th Arkansas Infantry.(May I express my gratitude here for the fact that my father was never critical of the North, nor bitter, but always taught us that Lncoln was right and the greatest President we ever had and that if Lincoln had lived, the condition of the south would have been very different.) When he returned home, he married my mother, Margaret Basham, and settled in a small cottage near my grandfathers home. This home was a large two story log house built with a large open porch, both sides open, separating the living quarters from the kitchen, each section having its on huge fireplace. My mother had five childern, James, Thomas, Lola, Lillian and Joseph.After the first two, James and Thomas were born in the small cottage, for some reason the family moved to Texas where Lola was born.
After they came back to the cottage, I was born. Grandmother broke her arm so the family moved into the big house with my grandfather, where Joseph was born. A little clear stream flowed across the property near the house.At that time refrigeration was unknown but a spring house, with two floors, was built over a bubbling spring.The lower part had no floor. Our milk, vegetables and all perishable foods were put in closed containers and lowered into the water for preservation.On the second floor was stored sacks of wheat and shelled corn, to be hauled to kingston later for grinding into flour and meal. There were rows of gooseberries, strawberry beds, sweet potatoes, fruit trees and vegetables.
Several black walnut trees and chinquapins, a form of chestnut, provided us with nuancets. The sugar cane was fed between two wooden rollers and the juice coming from it was boiled down and formed our sorghum, unrefined syrup. The little stream had a black slate bed.A substance like chalk washed down from the mountains. It was soft, brillant in color, red, yellow, etc. We children loved to gather there and draw pictures on the dry spots of slate.
My mother's brother, John P.Basham, lived in Missouri. His wife's mother was very frail as was my grandmother who was troubled with that broken arm.My grand- father had two daughters who had married and gone to California by wagon train.They urged us to come also. When Joseph, my brother, was one month old, thirty relatives gathered together, met in Purdy, Missouri, chartered a railroad car, bringing nothing but personal belongings and started for California. This was 1884. At the time the
terminal was at soledad, just south of Salinas in Monterey County. This was late fall of 1884. Big wagons met us at Soledad and there the group divided, going in several directions. Our family of five children with parents and grand-parents, making a family of nine, reached Indian Valley, Monterey County, where one of grandfathers daughters lived.
We bought a home there and stayed a few years.We four older childern
trudged two and one half miles through the dust to the county school.Later we moved from there to San Felipe and Gilroy near Holister.
Here Lola began to prepare to be a teacher and went to San Jose to study.
After she received her certificate, she worked as an assistant to the principal at San Felipe.She also taughtin Hames Valley, Monterey County.After I received my certificate, we both taught in San Lucas in their two room school.
The grandparents having passed on, we were now a family of five..Joseph was at home but James and Thomas were married.
(the family owned approximately 900 acres and raised cattle, grain and
tobacco.Also timber was sold for $ .25 per tree and included chinquapin, walnut, filbert, pecan, rose wood and cherry wood.)
This ends Lillians version of living in Madison County, Ar and the trip from Arkansa to California.

When republicans trying to pass a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in North Carolina moved the referendum from the November 2012 election to May, five months earlier, they may have initially counted the shift as a win. But gay rights activists have since come to see the maneuver as a mistake, which they hope will ensure the proposal's failure.
Equality North Carolina's recent interim executive director, Alex Miller, concedes he had a sinking feeling when GOP lawmakers revised the proposed marriage equality ban so the vote would no longer coincide with a presidential election. Instead it will happen the same day as the Republican presidential primary — a surefire way to attract conservatives.
But not only has Miller memorized a list of local Democratic races that will also be on the ballot, drawing voters to offset the number of conservatives going to polls that day, he's bullish about the campaign's new dynamic.
This is now a turnout election. Instead of battling for votes from undecideds and independents, both sides must focus on getting those who already agree with them to the polls.
"At the minimum, for every dollar we spend on media we will be spending two on getting out the vote," says Miller, grateful to have clear priorities on investing his group's cash.
"In the primary, you are of course going to get the die-hard Democrats and the die-hard Republicans. And I'm not sure that's a pluralistic view of the state of North Carolina," laments Marcus Brandon, the state's only openly gay lawmaker, who says statewide polling shows voters on his side. "Nevertheless, we plan to work very hard and get our people to the polls."
Equality North Carolina, Human Rights Campaign, and other major backers and fund-raisers have already determined which voters they need to contact. The business community is arguing that discrimination will drive away top talent. Progressive faith leaders are rallying to counteract the religious right. And organizers are fanning out to urban centers and the 16 state university campuses, where they know votes in their favor exist.
A second mistake, activists say, identified yet another constituency to target. Although existing state law bans same-sex marriage, the ballot measure outlaws any form of civil union or domestic partnership. So gay rights activists are courting unmarried straight couples worried about losing their benefits.
Both sides have less time to organize, notes Karin Quimby, a North Carolina regional field director for HRC. But she and other activists are wowed by the energy in their ranks, and the normally disparate groups are cooperating.
A little luck can't hurt either.
"Hopefully, by Super Tuesday [in March] everything will be all wrapped up with the Republicans," Quimby says, wishing for the emergence of a dominant presidential contender, which would lead many conservative voters to stay home.

Everyone's crying out for change. Except MPs
The new Speaker was not chosen for his modernising credentials. This election shows the Commons at its worst
John Bercow was out campaigning with his one-year-old daughter in the Portcullis House coffee shop at the House of Commons yesterday morning — a new man promising to be the "clean break" candidate in the race to be elected House of Commons Speaker. "We need change," he told MPs, as he set out his plans to push through "an agenda for reform and renewal". He wants a new expenses system, more independent scrutiny of legislation — and an enhanced role as an ambassador for Parliament, explaining the mysteries of politics to the outside world. Will he now exchange the Speaker's tricorn hat for a baseball cap?
On the face of it, MPs voted for modernity last night. But in fact the whole contest shows just…

Gnome Apt, Debian pkg search, synaptic, apt-get each is best for what?
Hi again,
I am getting to understand things slowly as time goes by but I just discovered Gnome Apt! I can see it's usefulness for updating whole repositories like medibuntu and 3rd party repositories but I am still a little too unsure to try it so I don't botch things up in my system. Like getting duplicate libraries and repos. which I have done. I am still not well versed in Debian package search either, as some packages just din't install when I tried and I don't know why. So far cutting and pasting exact commands advised in apt-get seem usefull and synaptic for the main repositories but I was surprised to find out that updates in synaptic didn't cover everything as when I did my first apt-get update today-to clear up duplicate pkgs. for one!
Can someone point me to a link to a guide explaining of what each package tool is best for and how often to use it. Then there is the Add/Remove for Apps. as well, I kind of see the overlaps and how one thing is via gui and the other is command line... I wonder if anyone uses all of these or do most people just stick to the traditional command line and synaptic.
This is my "question period"- trying to figure out a big chunk before I do "major" installations on various computers with the new Hardy too! And they are for people who won't care to understand how linux works or new to it and just want to try it as desktop/browser so I'm getting ready...
Thanks in advance!
There is no best installer, only a best solution for specific demands:
apt-get is very useful for installing packages from the repository.
dpkg is useful for installing downloaded .deb packages.
I have no experience with synaptic.
There is yet a fourth program which you may like to use: rpm, which is useful for installing downloaded .rpm packages.
However care is necessary with rpm to avoid dependency conflicts.
For more knowledge google apt-get, aptitude, synaptic and rpm. You'll be amazed by Google's output.

Pamela Anderson performs as the Genie in Aladdin at Wimbledon Theatre which turns out to be an awesome show and I got to see it… YAY!
Myself, The Phreak and Waine took a stroll a few doors down to Wimbledon Theatre last night to watch Aladdin, featuring special guest star Pamela Anderson as the genie and I must say, all three of us, thoroughly enjoyed it. The show is around 2.5hrs long which flies through and the gorgeous Pammy floats down from above the stage 50mins into the show. The show really keeps you going all the way with constant local humour and getting the audience very involved in true panto fashion, also not to mention in my case, my heart flat lining every time Pammy made an appearance onstage.
Pammy really is just insanely gorgeous, at 42 she is just as hot as she was 20 years ago when she first appeared on the cover of Playboy, its actually hard to come to terms that she is that age because I tell you what, if The Jen wasn't around, I think Pammy may just have a chance with me 🙂
Despite what I read in a newspaper by some boring pompous dumbass critic who thinks he knows something about acting, I'm a normal person just like everyone else in the audience and I thought her performance was brilliant, she did really well, no complaints whatsoever. She cracks a few jokes which stem from her life of fame which gets a good chuckle from the crowd. Did I mention her outfit is damn fine too 🙂 she doesn't have a leading role as such so her performance is understandably short but that's the way the story goes and that's how it was written.
Her stint lasts for two weeks and I heard she had a pint at Weatherspoons (Wibbas Inn) opposite the theatre the other night, so I'm hoping she pops around the corner to Bar Sia next door to the theatre for "A Can of the Best" one night before she leaves, as other guest celebrities in productions at the theatre do.
If you are able to get tickets for the performance I'd definitely recommend that you make a plan and go see it as it's definitely one of the better shows I've seen, with constant laughs all the way through.
Hopefully one of my Christmas wishes will come true and I can get a photo of me and Pammy haha 🙂

Five ways big banks' Libor scandal affects you
London, this year's host of the Olympics, is also home to a bank scandal that threatens to rock the financial world as much as the Games influence the world of sports. Here's why: Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) is a global benchmark for interest rates that reaches deep into the international financial system. Allegations that banks rigged those rates means that everyone from mortgage-holders and indebted students to cities and mutual funds may have had their interest rates unnaturally altered. Already tainted by other scandals, banks are under investigation because of charges that they profited illegally from their rate-rigging scheme. The mess further taints big banks and puts more strain on the credibility of the global financial system. Here are five ways the Libor scandal could affect you:
1. As an investor
The name London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) is geographically misleading. It is simply the interest rate that banks around the world charge to lend to each other. It is computed in London but reflects the borrowing costs of 18 banks, including firms in Europe and Japan as well as three American institutions: Bank of America, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase. Used as a global benchmark for interest rates, it has by some estimates affected more than $360 trillion in financial products. The banks, not the market or the government, set the rate.
Among the big losers are investors, because some financial products are based on Libor. Several mutual-fund companies, including Vanguard Group Inc., are looking into whether their funds have been harmed by alleged interest-rate rigging by large banks. Money market funds and bond funds are two areas of focus. Hedge funds are also said to be looking at taking legal action.

The Wolverines have already lined up a replacement for quarterback Denard Robinson in the 2013 class -- Shane Morris (Warren, Mich./De La Salle). But that doesn't mean they've stopped looking for the player who can challenge Morris in the future.
During the first day of Michigan's Technique School football camp, several quarterback prospects gave the Michigan coaches a look at who that next big name could be. Here are the top performers in the 2014 and 2015 classes:
2014 QB COLEMAN KEY (Broken Arrow, Okla./Broken Arrow)
The Wolverines have been pursuing Key for more than two months, and the 2014 signal-caller was looking forward to his first trip to Ann Arbor.
Even though he left without an offer, he did get an invite to the BBQ at the Big House in July, which he plans to attend. He also had a chance to meet privately with Michigan coach Brady Hoke and offensive coordinator Al Borges, and offensive line coach Darrell Funk gave Key and his family a tour.
Key was impressed with Michigan's facilities, but what stood out the most was the Big House.
"That was almost overwhelming, how big that thing was," Key said. "We have nice stadiums in Oklahoma, but nothing like that. That was pretty crazy."
It was Key's fifth camp in less than three weeks, but the rising junior didn't appear tired at all. He completed pass after pass and was one of five quarterbacks chosen to compete in the one-on-one events at day's end.
He said he got good feedback from Borges and that he felt himself improve in the short amount of time he spent with the Wolverines coaching staff.
"As the day went along I felt my feet get better," Key said. "That was the main thing Coach Borges was talking to me about -- my feet and how I was throwing the deep balls differently."
And as his family was packing up the car and driving to his next camp, Monday night at Notre Dame, Key was already planning his trip back in July for the barbecue.
"I thought everything about Ann Arbor was great," Key said. "It depends on how it works out, I'll try to fly up here [in July]. I'll definitely try to make it."
2015 QB MIKE O'CONNOR (Chattanooga, Tenn./Baylor School)
His coach Victor Tedondo believes O'Connor might be the best Canadian signal-caller since Jesse Palmer, and because of his skill level O'Connor has decided to transfer to a school in the U.S. to give him more exposure as a pro-style quarterback.
O'Connor wasn't planning on attending the Michigan camp until Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges urged him to do so after seeing the quarterback perform at last week's Sound Mind Sound Body event in Southfield, Mich.
"[Borges] took me aside and even worked with me a bit," O'Connor said. "But he asked me to come down to the Michigan camp so I did."
And O'Connor didn't disappoint during the first day of camp. The rising sophomore was one of five quarterbacks selected to participate in the final one-on-one's of the day, which featured the camp's best players.
The coaching staff had told O'Connor earlier in the day that they wanted to sit down with him after the camp, but because of a two-hour rain delay that sit-down had to be cancelled. With O'Connor heading back Monday evening to Canada, he was able to speak with the coaches briefly, but Borges said that O'Connor needed to call him in a few days.
"He said he and Hoke were really impressed," O'Connor said. "I think I did pretty well, but there's always stuff to improve on."
O'Connor holds five offers -- the biggest being that of Michigan State. However, Tedondo believes that Michigan won't be too far behind, possibly as soon as O'Connor and Borges' phone conversation.
"They love him and his game," Tedondo said. "I definitely think they'll make an offer."

Why should I buy a big piano instead of a small one?
I regularly get asked this question in my shop. What IS the difference between big pianos and small pianos? Well i'm going to preface this by asking you a question, "Do you ever see small pianos in concert halls?" The answer unequivocally is a resounding NO. Logically then, ALL piano makers have come to the same conclusion that bigger pianos are somehow better. And you could argue that big pianos fill big rooms with sound. And there is a measure of truth to that, HOWEVER… my nephew who is in his 20's has a stereo system in his car that is a 1000 watts of output. Now when you consider an average home stereo might be 200-400 watts and a clock radio might be 1-2 watts, a whopping 1000 watts seems overkill right? Well the bigger the stereo system, generally speaking, the greater the fidelity. In pianos too, the longer the strings (thus making a bigger piano), the richer the fundamental… generally speaking. The what? The fundamental? What is that? Glad you asked. The fundamental is the base frequency of a note. Within every note on any instrument, there is a rainbow spectrum of harmonic tones. The fundamental then is the base… the one we hear the most – the pitch of the note. So if you play an E on the piano, primarily you will hear frequency corresponding to E. Within the body of that note though are other notes – namely the 5th, the 7th, the 10th etc. So within an E note are also present "overtones" or "harmonics" of B, D and G#. They all are embodied in that same note. A trained ear will hear them. In fact, piano tuners tune a piano way more based on the sonority of the overtones than the pitch of the note which brings me back to the original quest for the truth about large pianos: Large pianos generally have more fundamental and more pleasing harmonics than small pianos. And THAT is precisely why you should always find as BIG a piano as your space and budget can afford. You will be MUCH happier with a taller upright and a longer grand because the fundamentals will be more present and there will be less conflict with ringing overtones.

The World Cup winner's vehicle was reportedly hit by a bus while driving on the outskirts of the Argentine capital on Monday night.
He was taken to hospital along with his girlfriend Veronica Ojeda suffering from cuts and bruises.
Oscar Sico, director at Hospital de Ezeiza, told reporters: "They are in perfect condition. They went on their own (to hospital) but have no problems. They can both go home."
Extra tests had to be carried out on Ms Ojeda as a precaution but she was discharged, along with Maradona.
Reports she had suffered a hip injury were not immediately confirmed.
It is not the first time Maradona's off-field activities have made the front pages.
The man voted Fifa's Player of the Century was expelled from the 1994 World Cup for failing a drugs test and has previously been treated for cocaine addiction.
He is also a long-time friend of controversial Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez and reportedly owes the Italian authorities millions of pounds in unpaid taxes.
The 50-year-old former Napoli star - whose two goals in the 1986 World Cup semi-final, one scored with his hand, knocked England out - has recently taken over at Dubai based club Al Wasl on a reported multi-million-dollar contract.

Clinton puts emotion on display in New Hampshire
In the state where a show of vulnerability catalyzed her 2008 campaign, Hillary Clinton is showing a glimpse at the woman inside the famous pantsuit.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — There were no tears at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Derry on Wednesday morning, but voters saw a more tender Hillary Clinton, an attempt to close the emotional distance between the candidate and standoffish primary voters.
"You have to be led by your heart if you are in public life to try and help other people," she said, with former Rep. Gabby Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, sitting on stage behind her, a reminder of the grittiest commitment to public service. "But the heart has to be matched with your head. I would take what you know, what you see, what you feel and translate it into action in life, in politics, in business, in any other kind of endeavor."
Story Continued Below
The soft-sell style marked a departure from the stiffer tone she adopted in Iowa, including her fiery remarks at her caucus night rally in Des Moines. Instead of the practical, driven Tracy Flick-ish mantra that she employed in Iowa — that she is a "progressive who gets things done" — Clinton has launched a softer, more emotional plea in New Hampshire about showing "heart."
Despite winning Iowa, campaign sources said Clinton was unhappy with the narrative that Sanders was the "heart" candidate people fall in love with, and she was the "head" candidate who people realize makes a more practical, if less romantic, choice. That was the appeal some of Sanders' precinct captains made on caucus night, telling supporters "vote with your heart, not with your head."
It didn't ring true to Clinton's self-image, an inside campaign source said, and she wanted to reclaim an emotional piece of the campaign — on turf where she feels comfortable.
"[T]hink about it," Clinton told the intimate town hall crowd Wednesday. "How we need to have more heart, more heart for each other, more heart for those who are suffering and left behind, more heart for working folks who feel like they're not getting ahead ... more heart for the people among us who still feel discriminated against because of their sexual orientation or disability or their gender or their race, or any other factor that should not be part of how they are viewed and feel."
She added: "We have a lot of work of the heart to do."
It's a very different approach from the one Clinton took on the road in the final days of Iowa, where her argument was about which candidate had more rational, achievable plans, not headier ideals. "It seems to me it's a lot easier to get from 90 percent to 100 percent than to get from zero to 100 percent," she said often of her plans to build on Obamacare, compared to Sanders' dream of trying to institute a new system of universal health care for all.
Despite lowering expectations of a victory here, New Hampshire is still a state where Clinton feels comfortable and one she credits with helping her to find her political voice. This is where Clinton broke down eight years ago, her eyes tearing up and her voice swelling with emotion in response to a simple question from a Portsmouth voter: "How do you do it?"
The moment took on outsized significance — Clinton, who had downplayed any focus on her gender, showed in one unscripted coffee shop moment that it was possible for a female candidate to be both vulnerable and powerful.
"I have so many opportunities from this country," Clinton said then, as she grew thoughtful and teary, "and I just don't want to see us fall backwards."
Thanks to an outpouring of female support, she went on to win the state. This time around, the hope is that it won't take another bout of tears for voters to feel like they catch a glimpse of the woman beyond the politician in the famous pantsuit. The campaign sought to humanize her from Day One, showcasing a more "relatable" Hillary by highlighting her mother's tragic childhood, having Clinton embrace her new grandmother status and focus on her gender. But a tougher-than-expected primary battle with Sanders seems to have tabled some of those efforts.
"I just could not ever skip New Hampshire," she said Wednesday, after noting that "a lot of political pundits have been opining that I should have just skipped coming to New Hampshire."
"I cannot even imagine not being here," she added, "not being in settings like this." The setting was an intimate town hall, where she was introduced by Giffords and Kelly, who also campaigned with her in Iowa, and took questions from the audience.
At her morning event, Clinton also seemed to enjoy campaigning as the wounded underdog — an unaccustomed position without the pressure of being the inevitable front-runner.
Sanders has been fighting back against the Clinton machine, which has moved aggressively to lower expectations in the state and to affix an asterisk to his expected victory, due to his neighboring-state advantage.
He has launched attacks on Clinton for not being a true progressive — and, as in the past, Clinton seemed ready to occupy the role of candidate wounded by a male rival's insensitivity. She said that Sanders resorted to a "low blow" when he told a reporter Clinton was a progressive only "some days." His critique was reminiscent of a patronizing Barack Obama remark from 2008, when he told Clinton she was "likeable enough" — a comparison her communications director and former Obama staffer Jennifer Palmieri made on Twitter.
"I thought to myself, I think it was a good day for progressives when I helped to get 8 million kids health care under the children's health insurance program," Clinton said, defending herself. "And I think it was a good day for progressives when I joined with colleagues in the Senate to stop George W. Bush from privatizing Social Security. It was another good day when I went to Geneva to speak out on behalf of gay rights."
Clinton ended her morning event with a plea designed to appeal to her own supporters — and to Democrats considering Sanders. "I hope New Hampshire you will come on this journey with me," she said, "with both your hearts and your heads."

OSCARS-STUDIOS:Warner Bros. takes home Oscar gold, sales boost for 'Argo'
By Lisa Richwine
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Time Warner Inc's
Hollywood's big night often proves a boon to studios that take home Oscars, and this year the haul was spread among several major film companies.
Among the Best Picture competitors, shipwreck drama "Life of Pi" from News Corp's
"Les Miserables," made by Comcast Corp's
Besides grabbing the big prize, "Argo" took home two other trophies for Best Adapted Screenplay and Film Editing.
Winning a golden statuette can boost receipts by one-third or more.
Last year, ticket sales for "The Artist" gained 41 percent after it won the top film prize, according to the box office division of Hollywood.com.
Before this year's awards show, the nominees already racked up a combined $2 billion in global sales, with six of the nine contenders topping $100 million at the domestic box office.
Ticket sales for "Argo," directed by and starring Ben Affleck, surpassed the expectations of Warner Bros. executives, topping $127 million at theaters in the United States and Canada, plus $77 million in international markets. The film was released on DVD last week and should see a spike in sales.
When Lionsgate Entertainment
"Argo," a $45 million production, recounts a real-life CIA mission to rescue six American diplomats from Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, under the cover of making a fake Hollywood film called "Argo."
Fox's "Life of Pi" had scored $583 million in global ticket sales ahead of Sunday night's awards, overcoming skepticism that the book adaptation about a boy stranded on a lifeboat with a tiger would work on the big screen.
"Everyone at Fox, thank you for taking the leap with me!" Lee said onstage as he accepted his Best Director award.
The victory for "Argo" in the Best Picture category ended the winning streak for independent studio The Weinstein Company, which took home the Best Picture trophy last year for "The Artist" and the prior year for "The King's Speech."
The studio run by brothers Harvey and Bob Weinstein went into the night with 16 nominations, including Best Picture nominations for "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Django Unchained."
The Weinstein Company finished the evening with three awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Christoph Waltz in "Django" and Best Actress for Jennifer Lawrence in "Silver Linings."
Fox, which led rivals going into the ceremony with 31 nominations, ended the night with a total of six, four for "Pi" and two for the international distribution of "Lincoln."
Sony topped all studios with seven wins, including best foreign language film "Amour" and Best Documentary for "Searching for Sugar Man." It shared in the two wins for "Django" as the film's international distributor.
Sony's thriller, "Zero Dark Thirty," the controversial account of the CIA's search for Osama bin Laden, landed just one technical award, for sound editing, in a category that was a tie.
Walt Disney Co
Disney-distributed film "Lincoln," produced by Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks, went home with just two statuettes, Best Actor for Daniel Day-Lewis and Production Design, after going into the night with an industry-leading 12 nominations.
The film about the 16th U.S. president is leading Best Picture nominees in the box office race, however, selling $179 million worth of tickets at U.S. and Canadian theaters in addition to $59 million in international markets (Edited by Ronald Grover and Mary Milliken)

Planners revisit police station proposal
Plans to build a new police headquarters at Kingscliff will go back before the Joint Regional Planning Panel later this afternoon.
Approval for the development was overturned on a technicality in the Land and Environment Court earlier this year.
Paul McMahon, from the Tweed Business and Residents Focus Group, says there is still broad community opposition to the plan.
"For the police, I can understand that they need a new headquarters and they need a place to operate from," he said.
"That's not hard to understand and we support them 100 per cent in that.
"It's just about where they want to put it, in a residential area."

The East Hampton High School football team has thus far been unable to play a competitive second half with its opponents. Perhaps this Saturday's under-the-lights homecoming game with Southampton will be different.
The silver Hampton Cup, which commemorates a rivalry that dates to 1923, will be up for grabs, and East Hampton for the past year has been in possession of it, as the result of a 42-7 rout last fall. That score is similar to the ones the Bonackers have been on the short end of so far this season.
At Center Moriches on Saturday it seemed initially as if the 0-4 Bonackers were about to turn the corner. Almost per usual, East Hampton was to score first, Cort Heneveld capping an 80-yard game-opening drive with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Thomas Nelson. Juan Gomez kicked the extra point and East Hampton led 7-0.
Moments later, Nelson came up with a big interception at the Red Devils' 48, but the team couldn't take advantage of the break. With a first-and-10 at the 38, a Red Devil defender tipped a nice spiral tossed Nelson's way at the 10-yard line, after which, with a fourth-and-five from the 33, Heneveld overthrew Brendan Hughes, who had come out of the backfield, at the 20.
The home team, which was quarterbacked by Tyrell Thomas (who would most likely have been playing for East Hampton had not his father, Nick, moved from Bridgehampton to Center Moriches), scored early in the second quarter on a 4-yard rush to even the count.
Later in the period, a Center Moriches interception halted a Bonac drive at the Red Devils' 21, but a fumble recovery by Axel Alanis, a sophomore linebacker, put the ball back in East Hampton's hands. With fourth-and-eight at the Center Moriches 34, East Hampton went for it again, but befuddlement in the backfield resulted in a turnover.
There were two minutes left until the half at that point, but the home team, which began with the ball at its 31, made the most of it, with Thomas, who was to gain 158 yards that day on 14 carries, running the ball over with 26 seconds remaining until the break.
Thus the Red Devils carried a 14-7 lead into the locker rooms, a lead they were, primarily because of Thomas's shifty running, to build on in the second half, winding up as a 35-14 victor. A 35-yard run by Nelson accounted for East Hampton's touchdown in the second half.
Southampton has one win thus far, over Wyandanch, which is also 1-3 as of this week. The only other winless team in the league is Mercy, which is also 0-4. East Hampton is to play at Mercy on Oct. 19, and at Wyandanch on Oct. 26. And then it's Babylon (4-0 as of this week) here on Nov. 2.

Updated Friday, June 4, 2010 | 10:05 p.m.
Two separate crashes near Mesquite on Friday night — one involving a car and five motorcycles — have sent at least three people to the hospital, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Those crashes follow an earlier wreck a few miles away on Interstate 15 in which seven people were hospitalized with non-critical injuries, police said.
The most recent wrecks, one in the northbound lane of I-15 and the other in the southbound lane, happened about 8:50 p.m. about six to seven miles south of Mesquite, Trooper Joseph Fackrell said.
One crash, in the southbound lanes, involved a passenger vehicle and five motorcycles. One of the motorcyclists was airlifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, police said.
Another person was being extricated from the car with unknown injuries, Fackrell said.
The crash in the northbound lanes involved three or four vehicles, Fackrell said. Two people were transported to Mesa View Regional Hospital in Mesquite, he said.
Police could not immediately provide details about what caused the wrecks.
Earlier in the evening, at about 6:30 p.m., seven people were taken to the hospital for injuries suffered in another multi-vehicle wreck on I-15 a few miles away.
Fackrell said a Ford Explorer overturned at mile marker 112, near Mesquite, causing a collision among other vehicles.
He said seven people were taken to Mesa View Regional Hospital in Mesquite. None of their injuries were critical, Fackrell said.

They did Ok - not 10 worthy. 3 8's
What are the judges smoking tonight? And why does Brooke always ask what they were hoping for? Dumb question.
Three 8's for Kristin/Mark/Spats/Michael Jackson. Sigh.
No 9s/10s for Mr. Spats?
I'll have to rethink this . . .
Maybe the judges DIDN'T drink the Kool-Aid, after all.
But 24?
Chaz seems like a very nice person with a good sense of humor, but I wouldn't have given that even a six. He barely moved at all. Unless someone else is truly terrible, it really is his turn to go. I wish he was better but he just isn't. On top of that, those costumes did nothing for Chaz or Lacy.
Kristin just seems so plastic to me, like a dancing Barbie doll. Her memorable year was kind of lame too--partially, I think, because in comparison to the other stories being told, hers just seems kind of vapid. She needed to decide whether to go to school or go into entertainment. Uh, okay. Not exactly up there with losing a parent, dealing with being transgendered, or nearly being killed in a war.
Really, I think they'd be better off with a dedication night, where you had to dedicate a dance to someone or something (if an organization, for instance) important to your past (I'd put it in the past tense just to avoid every parent dancing for their kids, which seems like too obvious a way to get the aww factor going--in fact, I'd go so far as to eliminate family members altogether, if I thought they could get away with it, just to make the choices a little more surprising).
Guess Markie-Snark won't get top of the leader board tonight. She's a better dancer than Chaz, but i wouldn't mind seeing Kirstin go either.
Hope he really brings the butch!
Awww I love Carson - I hope he does well tonight :yay

CARLSBAD -- A city-funded economic report released Friday on the proposed "Save the Strawberry and Flower-Growing Fields" initiative says that if the measure passes in November it could easily cost Carlsbad more than $30 million, mostly in land purchases.
Commissioned by the City Council, which is considering putting its own competing initiative on the ballot, the report was produced by the consulting firm Rosenow-Spevacek Group of Santa Ana. It found that the city could end up owing $28.5 million to $36.5 million in one-time expenses, and lose up to $3 million in annual revenue if the initiative passes.
"I think it speaks for itself in terms of the potential costs if the strawberry field initiative passes," said Mayor Bud Lewis, adding that he wants to put copies of the report in every resident's water bill in town.
But the backers of the initiative said the report is pure speculation and makes assumptions that are highly unlikely or even false.
"Point-blank, I don't believe that the initiative I put forth would require the city to buy (any agricultural) property," said Ron Alvarez, one of the leaders of the Concerned Citizens of Carlsbad.
His group put forward its strawberry and flower fields initiative in January after learning that a developer planned to buy hundreds of acres of agricultural land along Cannon Road just east of Interstate 5. The group's proposed initiative would create a new agricultural zoning category for Carlsbad with the aim of preserving the Cannon Road area as an agricultural region.
The new city economic report argues that this would take away the property rights of the area's landowners, forcing the city to buy their land from them -- an argument the initiative's backers reject.
Supporters have collected enough signatures to qualify the initiative for the November ballot -- all that remains is a council vote Tuesday. The council has two choices: it can make the proposal effective immediately or it can decide to put it on the November ballot. The council can't by law prevent it from appearing on the ballot, City Clerk Lorraine Wood said.
Asked Friday which of the two choices the council will go for, the city's mayor laughed.
"We're going to give the public a choice," Lewis said.
The mayor has long said he thinks the initiative will pass, though he doesn't support it. He's putting forward his own proposal, which the council is expected to consider later this month. That proposal calls for banning housing development in the area and keeping much of the area as open space.
Alvarez has contended that the mayor's proposal will cost the city more than his group's option -- he believes it is more likely to force the city to purchase the land.
The new economic report does not compare the two proposals. It only reviews the citizens group's option. The document could be considered a "reasonable" worse-case scenario report, City Attorney Ronald Ball said. Among the assumptions it makes are that the initiative would:
- Cost the city $100,000 to $250,000 in staffing time and other expenses to change city planning documents.
- Result in the city's buying three parcels totaling about 88 acres that were once slated to become a nine-hole golf course. The cost of that land is estimated at $6.2 million.
- Result in the city's buying seven parcels totaling nearly 300 acres, including a 41-acre parcel owned by the state Department of Fish and Game. The report estimates the total cost for those properties at $6.4 million to $12.8 million.
- Force the city to relocate the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation's nature center building on Cannon Road at a cost of $700,000.
- Require the city to purchase one, nearly 50-acre parcel next to the freeway that's currently zoned tourist serving/commercial.
That tourist/commercial property, which now contains strawberries, accounts for a large chunk of the report's cost assessment. The report's authors contend the city would need to spend up $9.9 million to purchase the land.
Carlsbad also stands to lose nearly $7 million in one-time development-related fees as well as millions annually in future sales tax revenue, the report states. Not building the development also could cost the city the potential of 902 to 926 jobs, it continues.
Alvarez said he believes this portion of the report is unfair, saying his group's initiative would allow the city to later remove the tourist/commercial parcel from the initiative's protection if needed for financial reasons.
He also said he doesn't support the report's view that the nature center will need to be relocated. That's not the intent of the initiative, he said.
Lewis said Alvarez is misleading people if he maintains the initiative won't cost the city millions.
"You can always spin things when you're not responsible for the truth," he said.

I want to be fair to this tea, so I kept drinking it. My daughter says she liked it better as it cooled, and I gave it a chance. It IS a little better as it cools, but still is more astringent that I like. I am a fan of ultra smooth teas! This tea is stronger than the grocery store Lipton Black Pearl, and I would suspect it is similar to German Frisian tea. If you like strong tea, this one may appeal to you. Don't oversteep unless you enjoy reflux.
