Foreigners who are refused entry to Japan at Narita airport have been the subject of violent attacks from security guards with a private company who are forcing them to hand over expenses to cover the cost of guarding them, as well as for their meals and accommodation, until they are deported, a former company official told a news conference on Monday.
Former employees of I'M Inc., a security firm based in Narita, Chiba Prefecture, said they were encouraged by the company to make detainees being held pending deportation at lodging facilities operated by the Justice Ministry's Immigration Bureau cover the costs for their detention. The former employees were speaking on condition of anonymity.
Such expenses are normally collected by security firms on behalf of and at the behest of the airline that brought the individuals to Japan.
Representatives of I'M Inc. said its employees have never committed any violence against individuals who are detained.
The Asahi Shimbun reported Friday that two Tunisian men allege they were physically abused and money was extorted from them by the company's security guards en route to a facility at the airport which houses deportees refused entry to Japan.
Thameur Mouez, 21, and Thameur Hichem, 20, who arrived in Japan aboard a Turkish Airlines plane on June 20, claimed guards forced them to pay $600 after kicking and throwing them against a wall at the security company's office at the airport.
The guards returned the money after the Tunisians filed complaints with police. Police said the case is under investigation.
The immigration law stipulates that people who are refused entry are to be deported, and the airline that brought them to Japan is also responsible for transporting them out of the country.
In 1997, about 12,000 foreigners were refused entry at airports and ports across the country.
Although the Narita facility was owned by the Immigration Bureau, airlines and approved security companies are responsible for the detainees, according to immigration officials.
These passengers are ordered to remain at the immigration facilities or designated hotels if they cannot depart on the day of their arrival.
Deportees are responsible for covering the costs of their stay until they depart, including fees for security guards as well as accommodation and food expenses, according to the rules of the International Air Transport Association.
"Security companies collect such costs from deportees under contracts with airlines," I'M said through lawyer Haruo Kobayashi, adding that the company has informed its employees that they cannot force deportees to pay such expenses.
A former employee who worked for the firm for the last three years, however, said the company is eager to collect money directly from deportees because they can get more out of individual detainees than they can by charging the expenses to airlines.
Meanwhile, human rights groups, including Amnesty International, asked the ministry on Monday to consider legal measures so that the rights of detainees at such facilities are fully guaranteed.
They also claimed that the ministry should be obligated to adequately monitor the treatment of detainees.
An Immigration Bureau official, who received the request, said he is aware of various problems concerning the facilities, adding that he is not in a position to comment on revising the law.
"If there are any concrete measures (to solve the problem), we are ready to listen to opinions and will study them," he said.
Experts on immigration affairs have often criticized the Japanese government for being irresponsible over the treatment of deportees, pointing to violence against deportees and mistreatment at holding facilities.
"It is irresponsible for the Immigration Bureau to say they have nothing to do with treatment of the detainees while they order them to be physically restrained," said Hideki Morihara, of Amnesty's Japan branch.
Lawyer Koji Kodama called for alterations to the current system, which gives private companies the task of detaining deportees.

These massively delicious DVDs will be at your disposal as of September 19th, 2006…
This collection of some rarely seen movies features one of the greatest horror actors of all time; sadly, none of them are what one would consider classics. Featured are Tower of London, The Black Castle, The Climax, The Strange Door, and Night Key. Tower is probably the most well known of the gathering, in which Boris stars with Basil Rathbone and Vincent Price. And Castle features Karloff with Lon Chaney, Jr., about a man investigating the disappearance of two friends. Listen to Creepy's interview with Sara Karloff here to whet your appetite. Buy it here!
Chucky: The Killer DVD Collection
Another incomplete collection of Child's Play movies; maybe someday they'll manage to get all the films in one box. This box set features Child's Play 2, Child's Play 3, Bride of Chucky, and Seed of Chucky. While the second one was okay, the third is just dull and badly done. Then, of course, Ronnie Yu came along with Bride and made us forget all the bad that came before. Thanks for that, Ronnie! Seed was pretty good, too, but not nearly as funny as we had all hoped. Buy it here!
Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery & Imagination
Here we have eleven of the most popular Poe horror stories hosted by the one and only Christopher Lee. Included in this set are interpretations of The Fall of the House of Usher, The Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Pit and the Pendulum and a lot more. The DVD set also includes a bio of the writer and some other bonuses. Buy it here!
Elvira's Movie Macabre Count Dracula's Great Love/Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks (1972/1974)
Directed by Javier Aguirre/Robert Oliver
Ah, the large-breasted queen of screams finally gets her collection of movies she hosted out on DVD. Rights issues previously prevented its release, but I'm guessing we'll see no end to the flow now. Included in this box set are 1972's Count Dracula's Great Love, which features Paul Naschy as the Count and what he has to deal with when a traveling woman falls in love with him. Also included is 1974's Frankenstein Castle of Freaks, in which the mad scientist brings a Neanderthal back to life. Buy it here!
Elvira's Movie Macabre: Legacy of Blood/The Devil's Wedding Night (1978/1973)
Directed by Andy Milligan/Luigi Batzella
Two more features hosted by the one and only Cassandra Peterson, aka Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. Legacy tells of a family gathered together to hear the reading of their father's will, whose only prerequisite is that they survive a weekend in his mansion. Things go badly. Wedding Night is about two brothers searching for a legendary ring who come upon Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania and have all sorts of troubles. Buy it here!
Elvira's Movie Macabre: The Doomsday Machine/Werewolf of Washington (1972/1973)
Directed by Harry Hope/Milton Moses Ginsberg
Elvira hosts a double feature of movies you would normally likely avoid like the plague but will likely watch due to her hypnotic cleavage. In The Doomsday Machine the titular device is found to be among the arsenal of the Red Chinese, who use it to blow up the Earth. Shortly before this happens, however, a manned mission to Venus' crew is replaced by mostly women, so the species can propagate. In Werewolf a reporter who has an affair with the President's daughter is sent to Hungary, where he's bitten by a werewolf. When he's transferred back to D.C. to be the President's press assistant, the bodies begin to pile up in our capital. Buy it here!
Exorcist Master (1993)
Directed by Ma Wu
Twenty years ago the small town of Wine-Spring was plagued by horrors after an old priest was struck and killed by a cross. For two decades the church in which it happened has been sealed, but now a Taoist priest and a local elder choose to re-open it, unleashing all manner of evil on the small town yet again. Could we see some kung fu-fighting demons? One can only hope… Buy it here!
Hard Candy (2006)
Directed by David Slade
The Fatal Attraction for a new generation? So says one of the quotes on the box of this DVD, and from what I've heard, that's pretty accurate. The story involves a girl who meets up with an older man, a man who believes her to be underage and willing to have sex with him, only for the table to be turned and him to become the victim. It's supposed to be incredibly intense and gripping, but I have yet to see it so I can't say for sure. Check out Debi's DVD review for a better look at the disc! Buy it here!
Hellmaster (1992)
Directed by Douglas Schulze
A college professor, long thought dead, has returned to the university he once taught at and begins to experiment on his students with a drug that turns them into murderous ghouls. The only ones who can stop him are a girl with psychic powers and a haggard reporter, and if they can't, he has every intention of releasing a literal hell on Earth. Sounds like fun to me, but to each their own I guess. Buy it here!
Inner Sanctum Mysteries: The Complete Movie Collection
Based on a popular radio series of the same name, the Inner Sanctum Mysteries was another bold attempt at terrifying audiences back when Universal had a minor clue as to what they were doing. This collection features all the movies in the series: Calling Dr. Death, Dead Man's Eyes, Weird Woman, The Frozen Ghost, Pillow of Death, and Strange Confession. Buy it here!
Jigoku (1960)
Directed by Nobuo Nakagawa
This is one of those films that's always mentioned when the classics of Asian cinema come up, and thank God Criterion got its hands on it instead of, say, Miramax. The story is of a young theology student who flees a hit-and-run accident and the effects his guilt-ridden conscious has on him. The final third of the movie takes place in a startling version of hell, and the movie is seen as a terrifying classic in almost all circles. Buy it here!
Left in Darkness (2006)
Directed by Steven R. Monroe
A girl is drugged, raped, and killed on her 21st birthday by some very bad men. She's not able to move on to the next life, however, as she is trapped in a netherworld and must battle all sorts of evil soul eaters while looking for a way to finally get to the other side. Apparently it does well for itself on a small budget. Check out Kryten's DVD review for more! Buy it here!
Night Feeders (2006)
Directed by Jet Eller
With a title and a cover like this, how could you go wrong? Despite it being made with CG monsters and shot digitally, Night Feeders does a good job of invoking the 70's monster movie feel that so many are trying (and failing) to do these days, though it does fall apart towards the end. So says The Foywonder in his review, which you should read to find out more about the movie! Buy it here!
The Sandman (1995)
Directed by J. R. Bookwalter
A trailer park novelist named Gary is beginning to crack up. He can't seem to get to sleep at night, and for some strange reason he believes his girlfriend is being attacked by something while she's asleep. When the trailer park residents begin turning up dead left and right, they start to suspect that Gary is in need of a good night's sleep … something Gary is terrified of doing. Buy it here!
Spirited Killer (2005)
Directed by Panna Rittikrai
A group of travelers are set upon by a multi-weapon wielding madman, killing some while others escape. This is the titular killer, a forest dweller who destroys anything that dares step into the jungle. Tony Jaa (Ong Bak) leads the group who go into the forest to stop the madman before he can kill again. Much punching and kicking ensues. This 2-disc set features interviews with the cast and crew and featurettes on the action sequences. Buy it here!
Stay Alive: Unrated Director's Cut (2006)
Directed by William Brent Bell
Man, I had so many hopes this movie would rise above its sucky premise and actually be something cool. Not only did it not rise above, it somehow managed to sink lower than the idea behind it: a video game that invades the real world and kills those playing it. It sinks because the characters are all moronically named; it ignores the history of the big bad who pursues the characters, Elizabeth Bathory, for some unknown reason; and it does nothing at all for our genre. Hit Creepy's DVD review for more criticism and one helluva sound bite. Buy it here!
The Tomie Collection
Directed by Various
A full box of five Tomiefilms detailing the strange adventures of the girl who just wouldn't die no matter how hard everyone has tried. In this set you will find Tomie, Tomie: Another Face, Tomie: Replay, Tomie: Rebirth and Tomie: Forbidden Fruit. Why they weren't able to get all the films together for one set I don't know, but it's better than nothing, right? Buy it here!
The Virgin Witch (1972)
Directed by Ray Austin
It's that age-old warning against modeling agencies: Never let your first gig be at a castle as there's a damn good chance the agency is actually recruiting more women for their witch's coven. Such is the case when Christine believes she's gotten her first big break, but when she finds out it's actually a coven, she's more than happy to take the power they offer her. Buy it here!
Visions of Suffering (2006)
Directed by Andrey Iskanov
Though I've not see either this or Nails, the last film of Iskanov's Unearthed release, I've heard great things about both, and the imagery of the cover art alone is enough to peak my interest. The tale is of demons who find a way to cross into our world every time it rains and drag victims back to their hellish realm. Unearthed has packed all sorts of goodies onto this DVD, making it well worth the purchase price. Try something different!Buy it here!

The UK government is under pressure to abandon its carbon tax now that the European parliament's rejection of the European Commission's allowance back-loading proposal has sent the EU's emissions trading system (ETS) prices tumbling, electricity industry insiders have warned.
"People are now digesting what the rejection of the back-loading means for the carbon floor price and the disparity between the power prices the UK will be paying compared [with those paid in mainland Europe]," a UK power trader said.
"The UK's electricity will be priced-out of Europe, and I don't think that can be justified by the government."
Had the back-loading proposal passed, 900m EU allowances would have been temporarily removed from phase III (2013-2020) of the ETS and loaded back in towards the end of the phase.
Instead, the proposal's 16 April rejection sent the carbon market into turmoil. The December 2013 Benchmark contract hit an intra-day low of €2.63/tCO2e that day, dragging EU power markets down with it.
ETS prices are set to remain low for some time. Some industry sources have argued that the UK levy will price British electricity out of the European power markets, severely hampering cross-border trade. Many have said they believe that the UK will become increasingly exposed and become isolated from other European markets (see EDEM 6 March 2013).
The UK's carbon floor price, which is paid on top of the cost of EU allowances, is now £4.94/tCO2e (€5.80/tCO2e), having been introduced on 1 April. But it is set to rise significantly in the next few years.
The UK carbon support price is set two years in advance, so the price British carbon emitters pay can diverge widely from prices in the volatile carbon market. The 2014-2015 rate revealed in the government's 2012 budget was £9.55/tCO2e, or €11.22/tCO2e, almost four times the potential rate for power producers on mainland Europe. The UK rate will then be almost doubled for 2015-2016, to £18.08/tCO2e.
"The outcome of the ETS vote means there is a higher risk of ditching of the CO2 tax, although the earliest [the British government] would be able to ditch is April 2016," independent utilities analyst Lakis Athanasiou said. "It will be very interesting to see what they say at the next budget."
Meanwhile, the carbon floor price has been deemed ineffective as a way of achieving its aim, which is to reduce the amount of carbon emitted by the UK. A lack of confidence in its longevity is also knocking the confidence of low-carbon investors.
"The carbon tax is not effective in reducing emissions," Peter Emery, executive production director at Drax, told ICIS. "Instead, it is a windfall of profits for existing nuclear generators. Banks do not view the carbon tax [as] credible. That makes it difficult to raise finance for low-carbon generation."
A UK Treasury spokeswoman told ICIS it does not plan to abandon the tax. "The carbon floor price itself won't change as a result of the vote one of the principle points about the carbon price floor is that it is designed to provide certainty to the industry," she said.
"It's worth noting, though, that British businesses will benefit from the fall in the ETS price just like their European counterparts."
Some argue that it might be tricky to convince the government to relinquish the tax.
"The problem is that this is an extremely lucrative way for the government to raise money, although [the vote against back-loading] will increase pressure on the government to clearly state its intentions for the carbon floor price," Emery said.
Questions have also been raised about the government's intentions for the funds raised via the tax.
Alan Whitehead, a member of the House of Commons select committee for energy and climate change, said: "It is a mechanism for providing revenues for the government and there is no obligation for the government to re-invest the funds raised into green technology. This is free money for [UK chancellor of the exchequer] George Osborne." Katie McQue

" Address: 17, Bachelors Walk, Dublin 1, Ireland "
One of the first things we did on our recent visit to Dublin was to go on an open top bus tour. Near the end of the tour, we passed an attractive little cafe overlooking the River Liffey, near O'Connell Street. It was called The Sweetest Thing, and looked to be a chocolate cafe. We decided we would have to pay a visit at some point...
We walked along to The Sweetest Thing mid-morning the next day, and found we were the only customers at that time. Perhaps others waited until later in the day before getting their first chocolate fix.
The menu was nothing short of mouthwatering. Different varieties of hot chocolate and milkshakes, plus of course the counter display of chocolates and cakes. Tempted though I was by a milkshake, I went for a Cadbury's hot chocolate, as did my partner's mother, while he decided he needed coffee more than chocolate, and had a latte. I decided not to have any chocolate to eat with my drink, as having ordered hot chocolate and a chocolate muffin at the same time in the past, I've realised there is such a thing as a chocolate overload.
The Sweetest Thing is very small, and we took a seat at what I think might have been the only table inside, or at least one of a couple - there were stools along the window though. There are also tables outside. Our drinks were brought over quite quickly, and I could tell by sight that the hot chocolate was going to be good - it was a nice rich colour, and there was dark section at the bottom. I was about to stir that up when I realised that it was the chocolate syrup I'd seen being poured in, and to leave it til the end would be a good idea.
The hot chocolate turned out to be absolutely delicious, possibly among the best I've ever had. It was rich and smooth but not sickly, a nice thick texture and wonderfully chocolatey. The syrup was good, like a rich shot of chocolate to finish the drink off.
The cafe itself was a really pleasant place to sit. It was quite purple/burgundy, and also seemed to be Cadbury-themed. There were display cabinets with old and recent Cadbury merchandise in them, and photos on the wall of Dublin in the past. The Sweetest Thing had a counter display of individual chocolates, and it also sold Cadbury bars (which we bought some of) and things like chocolate fondue sets.
The Sweetest Thing was definitely sweet, and worth a visit if you're in Dublin and in need of a morning or afternoon break...or just want a chocolate hit.

As a hardcore Mac user, I can honestly say, HP has finally come out with a laptop that I can scream and shout about. (That's really saying A LOT!) My beef with HP used to be that their products weren't user friendly – there was too much pesky right-clicking/left-clicking involved when trying to navigate around their computer screens.
But a new era has erupted. And that era goes by the name: HP ENVY 14 Spectre. It seems that HP conceived the Spectre in the same way Richard Branson facilitated Virgin Airlines: with the consumer's likes and needs in mind.
So let me start with what sets off my bells-and whistles. Do you know when you're working on your laptop and after a while your lap starts getting hot? (In the past I've developed weird rashes over this issue.) Well, the Spectre comes loaded with HP CoolSense technology that can detect if the device is resting on your lap; in turn it sets off an internal fan to cool down the lap area. Genius! No one likes working with an overly hot lap. HP has finally evolved their annoying touchpad with the HP ImagePad that provides precise multifinger touch navigation. No longer is it like solving a Rubik's Cube in order to navigate around the screen. Plus, there's built the built in HP Wireless Audio to sync with your wireless speakers so you no longer have to stick that idiotic device into your USB port – which you always have to unplug when using your printer or an external hard drive. Besides having the quality of Dr. Dre's Beats audio, a cool minor design touch that I love is an old-school analog radio volume control on the side of the laptop; it's a retro touch that's both funny and comforting. On top of all that, the Spectre comes with 9 – count them 9 –hours of battery life. You can take an international flight to London and watch an entire season of Breaking Bad on that kind of juice power.
The look of the Spectre is also something to high-five about. It's much lighter than the previous version of the Envy, and is a very handsome looking piece of equipment; with sleek, midnight black glass on the outside and stark contrast silver glass on the inside. Plus each key is not only individually backlight, but there's also a sensor that can detect when your fingers are in proximity to determine when the user' presence to either light up or dim down accordingly.
How can this very sharp-looking, very reasonably-priced laptop get any better? It comes with FULL Photoshop! (Note exclamation points of excitement.)
HP you've done- you've finally come up with a laptop to give Mac fans a run for their money.
Full Spectre Skinny:
- Premium Ultrabook that commands attention with its stunning use of glass
- Fits a full 14-inch high-definition HP Radiance Display inside a 13.3-inch body
- Features lightweight, scratch-resistant glass on the lid, display, palmrest and HP
- ImagePad – an industry first
- Equipped with Beats AudioTM aluminum analog volume dial to precisely adjust audio levels
- Boasts an intelligent HP Radiance Backlit keyboard providing outstanding
- llumination with an advanced proximity sensor to intelligently sense a user's presence
- Weighs less than 4 pounds and offers up to 9 hours of battery life
- Loaded with HP CoolSense, HP Wireless Audio, HP TrueVision HD Webcam and full versions of Adobe Photoshop® and Premiere Elements
- Support for near field communication (NFC)
- Expected to be available on Feb. 8
Price: $1,399.99

I've found Plusnet have been very helpful, so far.
In January 2014, I moved into a new flat, and found out that the previous tenant hadn't cancelled their phone and broadband service. As soon as my first payment had gone through, I was informed at each stage of the process by Email and SMS. I didn't need to phone anyone at all, Plusnet sorted out a new number for my line at the flat, without any hassle, and my router arrived just three days after my first payment.
I submitted my order on 6 Janurary 2014, sent payment on 11 January and was up and running by the 20 January. Considering the circumstances, I've found Plusnet very understanding, and so far I haven't had any problems.
Once my phone line was working with the new number, I applied on line for Caller Display and I was informed it would take up to 24 hours, but it was activated just after 1 hour.
My average download speed is 16.27 Mbps. My average upload speed is 0.41 Mbps.
So far, I'm very happy with the service provided and am very happy to recommend to my friends and family.
Dreadful service. Hanging on phone for hours. Liars. Live chat transcript proves the company told me that there would be no installation charge, so I signed up. They then tried to charge me £50 for installation after I'd signed up. Cancelled immediately, but still waiting for a refund of the monies that they took from my account. AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE. Look at other reviews - Most people say the same about PlusNet.
I joined plus net in April. I wanted the cheapest phone line and internet package I could get and noticed that at £17.50 a month plus call charges they were half the price of BT whom I had been with for years. Surprisingly they are part of BT.
I sighed up online filling in the easy to follow form on their web site. You pay up front for your first month plus delivery of a free router which they send you in the post total cost was £23.50.
The router arrived a few days later with instructions not to plug it in until told to do so as it takes a week to change over and to tell them your connection number at the exchange. You have to phone BT up to get this number and when you get it you phone plus net back and tell then it. A week later I got my email telling me to plug my router in that was on a Friday evening. On the Friday morning I noticed the BT Internet had disconnected. I plugged my router in and waiting for a the lights on the front to go green this took about three minutes. I then logged onto the internet connecting to what is called a technicolor gateway by plus net. That was on the 7th of April but my phone line bill was still with BT.
I may have connected my Internet but the phone line takes three more weeks to change to BT whom kindly sent me a bill in the mean time. On making a query as to why I had to pay twice for the same service I was told I would be refunded the BT bill after I paid it. I instead cancelled my standing order with BT and received a call from BT asking me what I thought I was doing. Eventually it was sorted out at the cost of £9 to me.
I received no problems from plusnet however who charged me for the internet but not for the phone line while I was with BT for those last three weeks. I have spoke to a few people at plus net about this and they were straight forward northern people not the stroppy Indians that BT uses.
Since then I have had no problems with plus net and would recommend then to everyone for their no nonsense internet and phone package at only £17.50 a month plus call charges. I went over my 10mb limit it did not slow down instead I was charged £5 extra because of that I have up graded to unlimited now because I have a smart box that is £9.99 plus line rental and call charges.
After being with O2 for years with no problems, decided to move because O2 selling off broadband. Joined Plusnet five weeks ago, after three days told line had settled now getting 6.2 meg. After further two days found speeds were fluctuating a lot, between 6 meg down to 634 kb. All plusnet do is blame BT, after three visits by BT and all giving same results. NO LINE FAULT. am still in deadlock. I am now waiting for deadlock letter to refer to OFCOM. Can never speak to the same person twice to argue point. Have had numerous excuses, "could be slow sites", "could be wireless connection", "could be large works nearby pulling on your connection". All these were present when I was on O2 with none of the problems I am now experiencing. Plusnet's own speedtest has a permanent notice at the top stating "we are experiencing faults which we hope to clear soon". If you quote speedtest results to them with readings from this site they say "these are unreliable", this notice has been on for over a month and is simply an excuse for them to use. I can only say if anyone is looking for reliable broadband, FORGET PLUSNET.
Plusnet messed up migration as couldn't raise actual problem with Openreach properly. This meant someone else had access to my number and voicemail and I had someone elses number! Took 6 days and 4 engineer visits to to solve as Plusnet raised it as a crossed line rather than an exchange error. This is even when it had already happened at the same exchange a couple of weeks earlier to another family member. (This was corrected in 1 day via a different ISP).
I found the complaints department useless and unhelpful. They didn't read my complaint properly, they lied (and didn't care when pointed out), were patronising and dismissive of problems raised and said my only loss was about £3 for a weeks rental!
Also their cheap packages are not so cheap if you accidently go over the low broadband limits or have to call 'not included' numbers or at 'not included' times. Look into this carefully.
Been with PLUSNET 3 weeks now:
1. the broadband continually drops, when it is working it's slow: 10 or so drops in an hour so you give up!
2. customer service tried to blame a DELL laptop: service drops on phone(non dell!!) and HP (non Dell!):
still advised DELL have issues and its not them: I've never heard such rubbish
3. they are now blaming the BT line: I have called BT - they have checked the line and say its fine.
4. they have various charges for leaving a "service" which has never been fit for purpose see below:
I am still waiting to hear if any of the line rental paid up fron is repayable.
Thank you for your call. I have made no changes to your account today and the service will remain open and active. If you were to completely cancel the account the following fees would apply:
Deferred Setup £25.00
Deferred Hardware - Wireless 4 port router £40.00
Cessation Charge £25.00
Total £90.00

I have been a Plusnet customer for 20 months & although connection integrity has recently deteriorated dramatically my experience over all as been positive. That is until 2 weeks ago whe I tried to cancel their service due to moving house. The customer service advisor tried very aggresively to sell me Plusnet at my new address despite me being too far down the line with TalkTalk to change. When he failed to retain my custom he then demanded a payment of £25 to cancel & when I questioned this threatened to put me in the hands of debt recovery I am now in the hands of debt recovery & in the process of trying obtain from Plusnet a copy of the terms & conditions that refer to a £25 cancellation fee.
Despite being 2 miles further away from the erxchange the speed of my TalkTalk connection is far faster than Plusnet & I have not experienced as was very frequent with Plusnet any interuption to my broadband connection. So whatever you do avoid Plusnet unless you want poor speed, constantly interupted connection, & be threatened, intimidated & put in the hands of their debt recovery department.
Being a web designer I need to have a constant connection however on PlusNet you have to reset the router every hour, Sometime more!Since I have been with Sky I have not had to reset once and that's just over 2 weeks!!PlusNet = Utter Rubbish!! Steer Clear..
Here is my review of my recent experience of this once fledgling company (Plusnet) which has now garn down hill. Here is a quick summery of my issue. Further more, for all you home users out there worry not im a top of the range business plan holder with plusnet and they treat us just as bad as you home users.
I have had a concurrent complaint in their system now since 7th April 2011. My connection went from a Home Unlimited Plan which gave me a very respectable 7meg down and 544Kbps up i was then told due to a usage change of my bb i would need to upgrade to a business package so i did and here is where my issues started. When switching from home unlimited to business unlimited i was told the price but when i was billed it was wrong. Then it took them 3 weeks to refund me the difference. Then a PSTN (phone fault) was found by plusnet so they dispatched an engineer to fix this issue. Then came the connection stability issues. It went from 7.5Meg down to 2.5Meg and then this week it went down to 1.3Meg and then today it went to 269Kbps to nothing this afternoon. When i phoned plusnet they don't seam to know what is happening so just sound like a bunch of robots. Here below was the email i resorted to sending them in complete anger after 3 weeks of pure hell and stress.
Here goes...
"plusnet, i have had just about enough of this shitty service from Plusnet, After all this time and all the engineers that have been sent out to fix this issue, ITS STILL NOT FIXED. I still have no internet, and at the moment no business as it relies 100% on a stable internet connection. I would like to say this maybe how plusnet like to treat their customers, but condatory to this comment i actually have a degree of care and also value my customer base, and they are an incredibly valuable commodity to my business. And like i will maintain as im sure i have told you in the past, without customers i would have no business. And at the moment this connection is cutting myself and my team off from the outside world and likewise its stopping my customers from being able to contact us. I think its about time that plusnet pulled their fingers out their asses and get this issue fixed - AND FAST!. I am now requesting my MAC key as i now have a new supplier waiting to take on my business. I tried to call the business CSC centre this evening but they told me that im to wait until Tuesday morning when customer relations are back in the office. Now i want you to pull out all the stops and do what you can to get me this MAC code, AND I MEAN TODAY NOT NEXT WEEK!, my business has taken a real hit in the last 3 weeks. So unless you want a damage loss recovery case on your hands for loss of earnings i would like to see you deal with this during your shift today. As i can not continue on with all the bottomless promises of a possible fix and also the horrific time frames it appears to take for plusnet to rectify pretty much every issue weather it be billing, faults or otherwise. You name it, i have had it with you guys. I have had excuse after excuse, and promise after promise, and nothing actually improves. Plusnet are technically dumb, customer care stupid and PR obsessed. And i do not want to be a part of this somewhat horrendous organisation anymore. I think plusnet have tried to fill/grow their boots far too quickly and you have over-sold your products and are cramming far too many customers onto your already bursting at the seams network. I expect a result today plusnet not tomorrow, not next week but today please. If you don't comply with my request my next stop will be CICAS as you have exceeded what plusnet consider themselves as a satisfactory time frame to complete faults (7 to 10 days) you have now had 3 weeks to deal with this issue and its now getting worse not better."
So if you looking around for a new supplier and you are attracted by the prices, please don't even go there, avoid them like the pelage. They will make your life hell. Plusnet are technically dumb, customer care stupid and PR obsessed.
Service went downhill faster than the Swiss Bob Sleigh Team
I've been with Plusnet for about 3 years and to begin with I couldn't fault the service. But around 6 months ago the line started to drop connection. After emailing them several times regarding the problem (and doing their online test) they finally got back to me with some generic answers, which blamed the router. It wasn't the routers fault and if they had read my email correctly they would have seen that I had used three different routers to try and isolate the problem. After emailing them again they responded by telling me that it could be interference from an electrical device and that I should turn all electrical devices off. So I politely entertained their idea. Shock..horror...still the same. They then blamed BT and said that I should have my line checked. They also suggested that I ask my neighbours to see if they had anything that may interfere with my broad band. At this point I suggested that I would probably just go with someone else. At which point they just cut off my internet all together without notifying me, even though I had 3 months left on my contract. When I phoned them to ask them why they had done this, they told me that it was an error on the system.
As the old saying goes "If you lock 100 monkeys in a room with 100 computers for 10 years they form an ISP company". If only Plusnet was run by monkeys.
Avoid. You have been warned.
Worse that Tiscali/Bulldog. Plusnet drop the line *constantly* they also do some weird shaping so that youtube videos take ages to start and frequently stop playing half way through. Am leaving this country soon, thank god - nothing works here, ever. Nobody ever does anything properly or honestly, they just do the bare minimum to get you to part with your cash. Plusnet are no different, dreadful, awful, I never thought it was possible to be worse than Tiscali/Bulldog until I got a Plusnet connection.It even drops while I write this review, but I am determined to make sure you don't make the mistake I did of giving these guys your money.
I have only recently moved to Plusnet and I could not have made a worse decision. I receive 10% of the speed I used to with my previous provider and they lie through their teeth blaming other superficial reasons for the loss of speed. Moreover, they charged me for excess use, which is physically impossible at the current speed. Some days my broadband speed was 14kbps, not Mbps, but Kbps! They support takes 8 days to respond saying that they need another two weeks to respond! I have just cancelled this service (if you call it a service) and they charged me another £40 for that after being with them for only 2 months. I told them that the next thing I will do is to take them to County Court (will cost me another £10 online) for violating their terms and conditions under 'reasonable service'.
Avoid! Avoid! Avoid! Save yourself some aggro.
Now, do you want an honest, straightforward, independent Yorkshire company? Well, don't believe the advertising, because you won't get that with Plusnet. What you'll get is a bland, excuse ridden company, owned by BT and heading for the same street as the notorious Talktalk. Plusnet will mess up your broadband, your email and your mind. If you are lucky enough to get a reasonable time, fine, but put your tin hat on if there are problems. Plusnet will go on offering excuses, blame everything and everyone, except themselves, and then do absolutely nothing. Avoid them like the plague. If you catch the Plusnet fever you'll come down with serious symptoms.
Plusnet...dont start me. i contacted them in September to pay a huge bill and asked at the time for them to tell me which package would be the best value for me! The woman talked me through my usage and which package would be best i agreed to change onto that one!They have failed to change it and now another huge bill has come in they wont sort it out!!No managers available and everytime I try to get put through to another department surprise surprise I get cut off!!!Wait times are crazy...over 10 minutes, over 20 minutes!! I am a busy single mum trying to set up an online business and am so cross with plusnet today its shocking...inefficient to the max!! i will be changing users shortly if this carries on!!

Woodland credits caddie with help in first-round 70
April 10, 2014
By Sean Martin, PGATOUR.COM
- Gary Woodland made just one bogey Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club. (Harry How/Getty Images)
Gary Woodland finished his previous visit to Augusta National with an 85. He battled through wrist pain, but didn't want to quit mid-round, opting to battle his way to a high score instead. Woodland's length is a big asset at Augusta National, where success on the par-5s is key.
All three of Woodland's Thursday birdies came on par-5s (Nos. 2, 13 and 15) during his first-round 70, which puts him two shots behind leader Bill Haas. His lone bogey came at the par-3 fourth.
"It was nice to get back here after what happened a couple of years ago," Woodland said. "I'm a different golfer than I was then, too. I'm confident. I'm healthy."
Woodland is back at the Masters for the first time since 2012 after qualifying for last year's TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. He finished 24th in his Masters debut in 2011.
Woodland gave credit to his caddie, Tony Navarro, who's worked for Adam Scott and Greg Norman, for his help in Thursday's 70.
"Tony has dialed me back little bit," Woodland said. "I'm playing a little more conservative than I have in the past. He knows what he's doing, so I trust him.
"Obviously he put me in the right position and I was able to do it. I feel like we left some out there. I gave myself a lot of chances. I hit a lot of greens. I didn't make a lot of putts but I was putting uphill all day. And when you do that out here you'll be pretty good without giving these greens up."

TORONTO (Jul. 18)
Severe criticism against the York Township Council for refusing to grant permission for the erection of a new synagogue was voiced in the Toronto Globe and Mail, leading Canadian newspaper. The article emphasized that "any municipal law which limits the right to build religious institutions curbs religious freedom."
"The status of religion must have sunk very low if a municipal council can barefacedly refuse to grant permission for the building of a synagogue under the pretense that it will lead to a loss in taxes," the article says. "Had the request been made by a non-Jewish congregation we doubt very much if the same excuse would have prevailed. No matter the protestations it is very hard to believe that the Council was not influenced by racial and religious prejudice."
A similar incident occurred a few years ago in the city of Quebec where the municipal council waged a stubborn fight to keep the Jewish community from building a new synagogue. Anti-Semitic elements even made an attempt to burn down the structure, but the opposition was finally defeated.

Hersh completes hat-trick of hat-tricks
A hat-trick from player-manager ADAM HERSH inspired Los Blancos to their biggest win of the season as they boosted promotion hopes with a big win over Norstar in west Hendon.
A hat-trick from player-manager ADAM HERSH inspired Los Blancos to their biggest win of the season as they boosted promotion hopes with a big win over Norstar in west Hendon.
The Blancos camp gathered intelligence the camera man would be in attendance for the first 15 minutes of the match so rocketed out the blocks.
A fine move from kick off saw Mendelsohn set free down the left and his cross was met with aplomb by the reliable head of Hersh inside the first minute.
Los Blancos have been in fine form recently and no player more than Adam Hersh who helped himself to a second shortly afterwards.
Mendelsohn, who had been causing the Norstar defence trouble with his movement in and around the box, found some space in the area and curled a delightful strike past the Norstar keeper to make it three.
Norstar had their first chance of the match when their striker was out through on goal and tried to chip the on rushing Josh Cohen in the Blancos goal. However Cohen leapt like a salmon fleeing a bear to palm the ball away for a corner.
The second half saw the injured eddi Nathan replaced by the formidable Suissa. Nathan, who has been criticised by the manager for putting on too much weight, realised his knees could no longer cope with the burden they were asked to carry.
The goals kept coming and the fourth was a beauty. A free kick 25 yards out had Sami Birnbaum's name all over it. He placed the ball with a look of fire in his eyes and caressed the ball around the wall and smashing into the far bottom corner.
Hersh then chipped the keeper like Rory Mcllroy in a bunker to complete his third treble of the season moving his tally to 14 from seven games.
Aryeh Marks rose highest from a corner to mark his team of the week appearance last week with a goal this week.
The introduction of Daniel Sher re-invigorated the whites and with his composure in midfield, Blancos started to play some lovey football. When Adam Waters, who has had a terrific season but has not been blessed with goals, finally broke his duck with a cracking volley from the edge of the area which flew into the roof of the net.
Joel Kutner, who picked up a knock midweek when out picking vegetables for his elderly next door neighbour, came on to round off the victory with a terrific headed goal.
There could be a few nominations for team of the week, Sami Birnbaum for a goal and two assists but he also missed two sitters. Adam Waters for his first goal and two assists, Suissa in defence who ensured another clean sheet or Josh Gaon for being a rock in the middle against his former club (but he also missed some embarrassing sitters), but really Adam Hersh with a hat-trick of hat-tricks is nominated for player and manager of the week.
Los Blancos: Cohen (capt); Annis, Nathan (sub: Suissa 45), Marks, Gertner; Waters, Gaon, Ison (sub: Sher 70), Birnbaum; Hersh, Mendelsohn (sub: Kutner 75)

text: John Carnes John Carnes, founder of the Lima Locomotive Works, is one of the city's prominent and representative men, and is connected with one of the largest manufacturing plants in this section of the State. Mr. Carnes was born in 1822 at Barre, Vermont, and is the son of James Carnes of that city. John Carnes doubtless inherited mechanical skill from his father, who in his day was a carpenter and joiner of considerable reputation, and this natural leaning was developed from boyhood. He relates with pardonable pride that he had made a pair of shoes and a fine door panel before he was 12 years old. He learned his trade with his father and extended his knowledge to mill construction and, prior to coming to Lima, followed the trade of building sash mills. His mechanical skill covered other lines and after he came to Lima he made the first pattern for the first locomotive that was ever built here, in the infancy of an industry which has made Lima famous. Mr. Carnes had become acquainted, through a business transaction, with a Mr. Shay, a capitalist, who desired to enter into engine building. The plans and designs made by Mr. Carnes were accepted and the ultimate result was the building of the Shay engines, which are known all over the world. Prior to coming to Lima, Mr. Carnes owned a water-mill at Sycamore and a machine shop at Upper Sandusky. In February 1869, he came to Lima and in association with George Disman, Jesse M. Coe and Frederick Agerter, bought out the establishment of Chatman, Donnelly & Company, and started what is now the great Lima Locomotive Works. The first line of manufactures was threshing machines, then the sawmill machinery, but since 1885 the output has been locomotives. This industry is one of the most important of Northwestern Ohio, giving employment to an army of workmen and having a weekly pay roll which reaches into thousands of dollars. Mr. Carnes was married in 1847 to Mary Baldwin, a daughter of Samuel Baldwin, and they have three children, viz: Ira P.; Emma, widow of Charles Garrison; and Homer, who is a skilled pattern maker. The family belong to the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Carnes is a zealous member of the Prohibition party and to its advancement he has contributed time and effort. Although now 83 years of age, Mr. Carnes has by no means retired into the background, his physical strength having been preserved and his mental outlook being as clear as it was years ago. During the past year, when many of his contemporaries sought the rest and retirement of the fireside, he was looking after the erection of a fine three-story brick building on his property on the corner of Spring and Central streets. His energy and talents have made his life a busy one and he can look back over many years filled with notable achievements. His portrait accompanies this sketch.

I'm 15 and I've been having fits for 9 years normally my fits are caused by shocks like someone dropping something, being startled and that sort of thing. they cause auras which I have at least once everyday at my first shock. then once every 3-5 days that aura will develop in to a fit.
however over the last few days i've been having loads of repeated auras often brought on by just thinking about them it all started off on staturday where for some horrible reason i had 2 seizures in one day then on Monday I had another seizure then after that it all began i started having small auras weak but about every 5 minutes over the last few days they've progressed getting stronger but sometimes less frequent now they are really painfull, worst then actually having a fit. even though they aren't leading on to any seizures they still have just as much pain, its apsolutely killing me and i was wondering if any of you have had anything similar. or do you know how to control the anxiety at least
That sounds awful. I have nothing helpful to say except that my son's epilepsy now seems to be almost completely confined to simple (and possibly sometimes complex) partial seizures and he says they're painful. He also gets a headache that can last for quite a bit afterward. What meds are you on?
Forever mom to a great guy with FAS, very premature birth, institutional deprivation syndrome, tourettism, sleep disorders, a bunch of medical Dxs and epilepsy.

Driscoll in hunt again
Drummond takes Senior PGA lead
- |
Losing in a playoff at the
He's taken full advantage of his opportunity, shooting a 4-under 66 yesterday to trail co-leaders Rory Sabbatini and John Mallinger by one shot after two rounds in Irving, Texas. Driscoll, who shot 62 in the final round of the Texas Open but lost to Zach Johnson on the first playoff hole, had the lead until finishing with consecutive bogeys, three-putting the 198-yard 17th and missing the fairway at No. 18.
"It stinks to end like that, but I did a lot of things great out there, too," said Driscoll, who has a two-round total of 7-under 133. "So it's what I'm going to focus on."
Mallinger eagled both par-5 holes at the TPC Four Seasons, holing a 45-foot shot from the greenside bunker at No. 7 and sinking a 14-foot putt at No. 16. He also had three bogeys and four birdies, the last a 15-footer at No. 18 for a share of the lead.
Sabbatini made four consecutive birdies after a most unconventional par. "My par on No. 3 was better than any of the birdies," Sabbatini said. "I drove it in the water, then hit a 5-iron in the right greenside bunker, then holed it. Just a regulation par."
That 96-foot par-saving bunker blast at the 528-yard third hole, his 12th of the day, and the birdie quartet came in his season-low round of 6-under 64.
First-round co-leader James Nitties (68) overcame a double bogey when he hit his first tee shot out of bounds. Nitties, a PGA Tour rookie, was in the group at 7 under that included Driscoll, Brian Davis (65), who finished his sixth consecutive round in the 60s, Briny Baird (64), and Dustin Johnson (65).
Champions - Scotland's Ross Drummond, more famous as the subject of a golf book than for his play, matched the low round with a 4-under 66 to take a two-stroke lead after the second round of the Senior PGA Championship in Beachwood, Ohio.
Drummond, 52, whose life on the fringes of fame and fortune were told in the 1996 book "Four Iron in the Soul," had a 4-under 136 total. Tom Purtzer, whose 66 tied him for the first-round lead with Scott Hoch, faded to a 72 and was two shots back along with Hoch. Also at 138 were Jeff Sluman (68), Larry Mize (69), and Bernhard Langer (70).
No European player has won the Senior PGA since Jock Hutchison - also a Scot - in 1947.
LPGA - Karine Icher of France shot a 6-under 66 to take a two-shot lead over Hee Won Han of South Korea after two rounds at the
Icher, the first-round co-leader at 8 under with Hee Young Park of South Korea, broke the 36-hole record for the tournament by one shot and equaled the best back-to-back rounds in Corning history. Park (73) was seven shots back.
Seon Hwa Lee (67), Soo Yun Kang (69), and Na Yeon Choi (68) of South Korea were tied for third at 10 under with Mikaela Parmlid of Sweden (67), Sandra Gal (69) of Germany, and Sarah Kemp (68) of Australia.
European - Paul Casey shot a 5-under 67 for a two-stroke lead midway through the BMW PGA Championship in Virginia Water, England.
Casey was at 8-under 136 after two rounds. Defending champion Miguel Angel Jimenez (70), David Horsey (71), Anthony Wall (71), and Soren Kjeldsen (69) were next. Ben Curtis was among three players another stroke back.
Colin Montgomerie and Rory McIlroy were in a group at 2 under. Jose Maria Olazabal, voted into the World Hall of Fame this week, birdied his last two holes for a 70 and joined John Daly (71) at 144.

Rancho Santa Fe's Casa Blanca Salon hosted a fundraising event on Sept. 24 to benefit the Magic Water Project; an organization founded by a group of parents whose children are facing pediatric cancers. A founding family of Magic Water from Carmel Valley, Melissa and Andy Mikulak, just lost their 7-year-old son Max on Aug. 31 after a four-year battle with cancer.
"He was just a sweet, compassionate boy and still very much a boy," said Melissa Mikulak. "We miss him terribly. We're still trying to comprehend that there's a child missing from our household and family."
Mikulak said she was touched that Casa Blanca owner Marcina Checketts selected their organization for her fundraiser.
"We live in such a wonderful community and when so many people come out to support each other, it's really heartwarming," said Mikulak.
Checketts, also a Carmel Valley resident, often holds charity events at her shop in Del Rayo Village and was more than happy to do something to support her friends.
"They are absolutely amazing people," said Checketts. "They're just an inspiration for everyone."
Magic Water was started less than two years ago by the Mikulaks and the Hutchisons, a Pacific Beach family whose son Sam is also fighting cancer. The name borrows from one parent's attempt to explain chemotherapy to their 18-month-old who was receiving it. They called it magic water that would make the pain go away.
Of course, the Mikulaks know that it is not that easy to cure any cancer, specifically the pediatric cancers of nueroblastoma and medullablastoma that Magic Water supports.
"There's no cure for it and finding a cure for it is so far off," said Mikulak. "We're trying to fund research to find less toxic treatments to give our kids more time."
All the money raised by Magic Water goes directly toward that research and clinical trials.
Mikulak noted that the space left behind by Max's absence is not easily filled.
Hannah used to share a bedroom with her brother - after he spent so much time away in the hospital she wanted to be as close as she could be to him. In the last few weeks, her parents have been sleeping in the room with her, as she has been lonely.
The second graders in Mikulak's classroom at Solana Highlands miss him so much they've taken to putting a stuffed animal in his seat because they hate to see his desk empty. They even make sure the right book is on his desk and that it's turned to the right page.
For so many people to care about Max and want to help others in his situation has comforted his mother.
"It definitely helps having people support what we believe in," Mikulak said.
At last week's sunny event at Casa Blanca, children enjoyed playing with a table full of legos (one of Max's favorites) or checking out the San Diego Police Department SWAT team's new bearcat armored rescue vehicle. Girls could also create their own "sugar scrub sundae" body wash or get a fairy sparkle manicure.
For adults, there was a mojito bar and demonstrations and consultations by plastic surgery team Dr. Wendell Smoot, Dr. John Smoot and Dr. Richard Chaffoo, who partnered with Casa Blanca on the event. A portion of the proceeds from any procedure scheduled that night will go toward Magic Water.
Checketts' daughter Kendra, a fourth grader at Solana Highlands Elementary, was also part of the charity event, selling lemonade at her Famous Lemonade Stand. She has long been involved with her mom's charity efforts, starting at age five when she collected teddy bears for children in need.
"I like to help kids a lot," said Kendra Checketts. "It really just makes me happy, it's really fun to do stuff for people."
In recent years, she's hosted her lemonade stand at numerous events, raising nearly $50,000 for organizations like Casa de Amparo, Rady's Children's Hospital and PC Pals.
She said the Magic Water event was for a cause close to heart as she is a friend of Max's sister Hannah and his father Andy was her softball coach.
"This one is very important," Kendra said. "Max was one of my heroes, a really great kid who was very brave."

Tip: KDE 4.11 includes a reworked OpenGL 2 compositor. OpenGL 3.1 got introduced. By default OpenGL 2 with the fallback to OpenGL 1 is used. If the hardware doesn't support OpenGL 3.1 it automatically falls back to OpenGL 2 or OpenGL 1. When running kwin_gles KDE defaults to OpenGL ES 3.0 if present otherwise OpenGL ES 2.0 is used. Catalyst Legacy seems to have issues with this change. Here is a workaround to get it working:
#!/bin/bash export $(dbus-launch) export KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 export KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 kwin --replace &
Save it as a script and place it into your ~/.config/autostart dir. It is also possible to disable compositing till upstream fixes the bug.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio sold his American success story as he stumped across Florida two years ago.
His parents left Havana in 1959, he told a Panhandle audience, implying, at least, that they fled Fidel Castro's communist revolution.
Now records show that they left in 1956, while Castro still plotted in Mexico — and that even when Rubio doubted his dates, he didn't correct the record.
In 2009 and 2010, Rubio told three different TV audiences that his parents came from Cuba at the end of the 1950s. "In 1959," he told Fox 13 and Fox Business. "In '58, '59," he said to Fox News.
But interviews, documents and news articles in September and October raised doubts.
The difference, in this case, is more than just a couple of years.
Raising doubts
A story Thursday by the St. Petersburg Times said naturalization records showed Rubio's parents, Mario and Oriales, became U.S. residents in May 1956.
At that time, Castro lived in Mexico after a failed 1953 attack on army barracks in Santiago de Cuba. Cubans lived under the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista, who had seized power as he ran for re-election in 1952. The nation, which enjoyed high literacy, a strong educational system — even the world's fifth-highest number of TVs per capita — found itself ruled by decree.
In May 1956, the Rubio family would fly to the United States. Castro returned to mount his revolution in December. More than two years would pass before Batista fled on Jan. 1, 1959.
In 2006, Rubio, the young soon-to-be speaker of the Florida House, would recount the takeover: "In January of 1959, a thug named Fidel Castro took power in Cuba, and countless Cubans were forced to flee."
To many, he seemed to count his own family among them.
And in 2009 and 2010, he told reporters dates that made that possible. News stories called the lawmaker, himself born in the United States in 1971, the son of "exiles from Castro's Cuba." Some used a specific date: 1959.
Story shifts
In September 2011, Rubio chatted with Miami Herald reporter Marc Caputo for a story about Rubio's upcoming autobiography. The two talked about Rubio's parents' immigration from Cuba. Caputo, later recounting his notes, said Rubio "struggled to recall the year … and said it was in '' '57 or '58 or '59.' "
"When asked pointedly: Was it before the revolution? Rubio said it was before the revolution," Caputo wrote in a blog post Thursday.
Caputo included the detail in his September story, saying Rubio was, "the son of Cuban immigrants who left Cuba just before the 1959 revolution."
As we searched for news references to Rubio's parents, we found the new Herald account differed from dozens of articles about Rubio's past, his own TV interviews, and his official campaign and Senate biographies.
After the Times and the Washington Post wrote about the discrepancy, Rubio released a statement.
"The dates I have given regarding my family's history have always been based on my parents' recollections of events that occurred over 55 years ago and which were relayed to me by them more than two decades after they happened," he wrote Thursday. "I was not made aware of the exact dates until very recently."
Asked about Rubio's official biography the next day, spokesman Alex Conant confirmed, "the dates were wrong."
"We just recently became aware of it, and it just hadn't been updated," he said.
Rubio learned the full story talking with his mom, Conant said, and looking at his parents' passports. (His father died in September 2010.)
Instead of fleeing Castro's Cuba, the Rubios came to the United States for "economic opportunity," Conant said.
Our ruling
Several times during his race for U.S. Senate, Rubio told reporters and voters his parents left Cuba in 1959, suggesting they had fled Castro's rule. In his campaign biography, and later in his official Senate biography, he said his parents "came to America following Fidel Castro's takeover."
Even after he stumbled over dates with a Miami Herald reporter and acknowledged his parents left before the revolution, his official Web bio stayed the same. The day after two news organizations reported his parents moved to the United States in 1956, his spokesman acknowledged that the bio was wrong, which was updated.
"Marco was born in Miami in 1971 to Cuban exiles who first arrived in the United States in 1956," the updated website now says. That puts everyone in agreement: The original statement is False.

I have had some luck, with older versions of SVN, with deleting the entire directory containing the problematic file and then updating. I haven't had this problem with 1.7 so maybe with the single .svn directory this will not work?

If you've got the time to test it, I'd do so, but I'm still running production on 7.4.7, and probably will be for at least six more months. Slony is a great tool for testing the newer versions while keeping your production systems on 7.3.

The Final Insult: Irish Banks Hike Interest Rates
While the European Central Bank this week kept its key interest rate at 1%, worried mortgage holders who are struggling to meet their repayments breathed a collective sigh of relief across euro land. Except in Ireland, that is. In Fair Eire, allegedly the land of a thousand welcomes, mortgage interest rates are actually going up.
Economists say the main message from the ECB monthly press conference on Thursday was that the first hike in official rates is a relatively comfortable amount of time away–probably no earlier than late 2011. That gives most people space to put bread on the table, squirrel away some extra cash and pay off their credit cards.
Not so here, where public sector workers have seen their wages slashed and, as unemployment rises in the private sector, the public has watched helplessly as billions of euros of taxpayers' money has been used to prop up the banks, and billions more euros of unpaid property developer loans are being transferred to the nation's bad bank.
There is good reason why the leprechaun is the national symbol here. He is a chancer that will fleece you as soon as your back is turned. He hops about telling yarns about economic booms and pots of gold at the end of rainbows.

NEW YORK (Jul. 23)
The United Hias Service helped 3,174 Jewish immigrants and refugees resettle in the United States during 1971 according to the annual report of the Jewish immigrant aid agency released today by Gaynor I. Jacobson, its executive vice president. The report noted that the aid recipients came from countries of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East and from Cuba and Chile.
Hias assisted more than 45,000 other Jews with various problems related to immigration and resettlement, the report said. These included helping persons reach countries of temporary asylum and assisting aliens in the US with naturalization or adjustment of status problems. Hias also aided in the prevention of deportation and jeopardy in various cases and in the location of relatives through its world-wide location service, the report said. It rendered resettlement assistance in Latin America to migrants who arrived in prior years; aided in documentation, counselling of relatives and migrants and intervened with government officials on behalf of prospective migrants and aided their relatives and sponsors.
The report noted that a significant development in 1971 was the resettlement by Hias of 265 Jews from the Soviet Union, double the number of the previous year. Of that number, 214 were helped to come to the US, 24 to Canada and the rest to other areas. Jacobson's report said a further increase in the arrival of Soviet Jews in the US is expected owing to the favorable climate here toward the admission of Soviet Jews. Jacob-son said his organization remains alert to the situation of Soviet Jewry and is making every effort to assist requested family reunions in the US and other Western countries. He said Hias has a current caseload of 5000 persons in the USSR who wish to join relatives in the West. The agency has assisted 800 Iraqi Jews who left that country to join relatives in Western countries, he said.
