Baby named for late star: Christopher Reeve Daughter Son
Published: July 3, 2015
Baby named for late star: Christopher Reeve Daughter Son, Alexandra Reeve Givens, the daughter of late actor Christopher Reeve, welcomed her first child, a baby boy, last month, E! News has confirmed. Alexandra and her hubby Garren Givens honored her dad by naming their son after the late Superman star.
"Alexandra Reeve Givens and Garren Givens welcomed their first child Christopher Russel Reeve Givens on June 13 in Washington D.C.," a rep for the famous family tells E! News.
The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation also announced the news via their Twitter with, "Congrats to Alexandra Reeve Givens on the birth of her son Christopher Russel! He is already rocking #TeamReeve gear."
A family spokesperson told People of the newborn, "He was named after his grandfathers on each side, two very important role models for Garren and Alexandra. The entire family is thriving during their first few weeks home."
Too cute.
Alexandra, 31, and Garren, 33, met at Yale and were married in 2008. She now works as a Senior Counsel in the United States Senate while Garren works in the Obama administration as the Director of the Presidential Innovation Fellows program.

Peach Perfect Necklace
Designed by: Laura Bajor
Difficulty: Beginner
You will need a beading needle for this project.
Clip together 8 of the chain links.
Cut 10 lengths of cord each measuring approx. 70cm.
Take 5 of the cords and thread through one of the end links. Knot to the link creating 10 equal strands.
Repeat this with the other 5 cords on the other side of your chain.
Cut a 55cm length of KO thread. Leave a 5cm tail. Tie a knot and thread on your seed beads until approx 5cm of thread remains. Knot the thread to the last bead to secure.
Repeat this to make another length of seed beads.
Take the 10 loose ends on one side of your necklace and knot these together so that the lengths of peach cord are approx. 18cm including the knots.
Repeat this on the other side of the necklace.
Wrap the seed bead strand around the cord and secure by knotting to the big knots. You may wish to loosen the larger knots and pass your KO thread into the knot to secure. You may also secure the KO thread into the large knot by adding a drop of glue and pulling the knot closed around it.
Cut the ends of the braiding cords to approx. 2cm, fold in half and glue into the end caps. Check the end will fit into the cap before gluing. Trim to alter the size.

Florida man predicts online poker to be legalized in the U.S.
Once again an expert in internet law is suggesting the U.S. government may move to legalize online gambling in an effort to raise revenue.
In a story with 24 Hours online Lawrence Walters suggested that intrastate online poker games may be the future for online gambling in the U.S.
Law professor Ed Morse of Creighton University in Nebraska was quick to point out that legalizing online gambling would not only help a cash-strapped government but it would help create jobs and economic expansion during a recession.

PR Web declines online gambling releases
Popular press release website PR Web announced this week it will no longer be accepting submissions from online gambling companies.
PR Web is based in Washington and decided to ban online gambling related pressreleases due to the murky legislation surrounding online gambling in the U.S.

THE British comedy Little Britain is a quirky little number a bit too quirky for some, especially in the vicinity of Llanddewi Brefi, the small Welsh village whose name was appropriated as the home of the character, gay Daffyd.
I think Little Britain is hilarious. But I digress. We are no longer in Llanddewi Brefi. We are in Llangollen, a pleasant town where, in the Regency era, two ladies equally outraged and fascinated their contemporaries.
They set up house together, thereby adding an element of curiosity to Llangollen's many scenic attractions.
The concept of a "romantic friendship", a life "in retreat", drew much attention from Regency notables, among them the Duke of Wellington and the poet, William Wordsworth, who liked to visit.
Nowadays tourists make their way to the ladies' grand home, Plas Newydd, which is a striking ensemble of recycled gothic furniture with bed posts supporting the porch and old chests and canopies lining the interior.
It's a wonderfully eccentric house and a tapestry and portraits depict the two ladies, still together in old age.
Visitors also arrive in Llangollen for canal boat holidays and to see the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which carries the canal across the River Dee.
It's the world's highest and longest cast-iron aqueduct and the narrow canal boats fill it from edge to edge as they glide at a leisurely pace, 39m above the river.
Horses tow canal boats along Llangollen Canal, an enterprise developed by a sea captain who was forced to retire after falling blind drunk from the bridge of his ship.
Soft rain fails to dampen proceedings here today but, as we drive north, all trace of summer vanishes and the sky becomes a spectral grey – all the better to view medieval Conwy.
Conwy is the most complete medieval town in Britain, a true classic with its double-towered gateways, a snaking circuit of walls with 21 towers plus the dark-stoned, intimidating Conwy Castle.
King Edward I of England built an "Iron Ring" of castles in the 13th century to secure his control over North Wales. Among them, Conwy, Beaumaris, Caernarfon and Harlech are amazingly well-preserved, and each offers breathtaking views across mountain and sea.
The voluptuous style of the Italianate village of Portmeirion is a curious spectacle with its candy-coloured buildings and woodland gardens where pious grave markers in a dog cemetery also demand attention.
One of the most surprising things about Wales is the food. London caught on to the idea of cuisine in the past half decade.
Wales did the same but within a reasonable price range, using local produce – Welsh beef and lamb (truly delicious), farmhouse cheeses, organic vegetables and even Welsh wine. Locals, though, are quick to recommend Australian wines and acknowledge that they have surpassed French by volume.
New Zealand wines can also to be found, even deep in Welsh-speaking Wales.
Porthmadog is such a place.
This small but efficient town was a bustling exit port for slate from mountain-ringed Blaenau Ffestiniog, the town that is said to have "roofed Wales and the world". These days the Ffestiniog Railway transports tourists down the 21km of narrow-gauge track to the coast and Porthmadog where Yr Hen Fecws does a brisk trade, due to this restaurant's extensive menu.
Traditional Welsh food is available at Blaenau Ffestiniog's Miners Arms but the highlight of this slate-mining town is the opportunity to go down into the Llechwedd Deep Mine, plus a stirring narration as you proceed from cavern to cavern.
The John Nash-designed, Welsh gentry estate of Llanerchaeron in the Aeron Valley presents an alternative perspective of life in Wales, especially since it now offers visitors an illustration of a working farm managed along organic principles.
That's quite a turnaround when you consider that by the 1850s people were deserting the land for industry.
The result; Wales made Britain great but suffered the consequences of becoming one of the earliest and most heavily industrialised nations in the world.
We never did make it to Llanddewi Brefi.
We got lost.
We can't blame the tongue-twisting village signs because, in the vicinity of Llanddewi Brefi, we saw no signs at all.
Locals say they keep getting stolen, due to Little Britain, but perhaps locals are snaffling them themselves?
Margaret Turton was a guest of VisitWales.

If you broke down every part of your daily life, how many nasty chemicals could you have been exposed to without even knowing, or simply assumed that they had been pre-tested for safety?
On a daily basis, we are exposed to thousands of chemicals in our appliances, electronics, food, furniture, make-up/skincare, transport; a never-ending list which we can't easily escape from! We have been led to believe that the appropriate governing bodies have set the necessary guidelines in place for our protection, but is it enough or are they being influenced by private companies trying to sell their products? It's time to acknowledge the connection between the extensive chemical manifestations in our lives with the increase in disease rates, and do something about it.
The Human Experiment - Festival Trailer from Don Hardy on Vimeo.
Two upcoming documentaries The Human Experiment and Unacceptable Levels are shedding light and exposing the truth on this very issue. We ought to question what's in all the products we consume, since the information is not openly presented for us to scrutinize and better understand. There is massive financial gain for a few, by keeping the masses in the dark.
One of the doctors interviewed for The Human Experiment documentary sums it up. She said, "Information that's only held by some people only empowers some people. So it may be that a producer only knows what's in their product and they want to vouch that it's safe but if the public and the government and if scientists can't see what's in the product and don't have any information about its safety, then that doesn't give me much assurance."
So together let's try and turn this around. Information is power and it is up to us, as a collective for good, to make choices that encourage a healthy, chemical-free life. We can do this by spreading the word, by donating and supporting campaigning charities that contest the powerful conglomerates lobbying the government to keep this issue under wraps. Then of course, there is our purchasing power. And what better time than at Christmas when consumption is at all time high. Buying from companies who are producing products that are made ecologically, organically and free of harmful chemicals is one of the easiest things we can do to empower and change the status quo.
Maybe try and change one aspect of your life each month as a new year's resolution, such as your skincare range or food? We'd love to hear how you're doing on your personal chemical-free endeavour, feel free to share any tips to the rest of our community!

Pets at Home was in the doghouse with the City on Thursday after revealing trading had weakened in recent weeks amid worsening trading conditions.
Shares in the retailer, which listed in March 2014 at 245p a pop, dropped 9.4p to 224.1p as it reported first-half same-store sales grew 2.5%, a slowdown from the first quarter's 2.7%. Worse still was a warning that trading since has been softer.
Liberum called the update, which also showed margins down 15 basis points to 54.1% and pre-tax profit up 4% at £45.2 million, "disappointing", with its move into services such as veterinary medicine and grooming not paying off as hoped.
"The quarter-on-quarter slowdown in merchandise reflects the challenges that remain in this division, while the margin benefits from services… do not appear to be flowing through as we would expect," the broker said.
However, Pets at Home said full-year profit before tax would be in line with expectations. Analysts are predicting pre-tax profit of £97.5 million, according to Reuters data.
It reiterated that the pound's slump since the Brexit vote hit profit by around £2 million, but insisted it could withstand prolonged uncertainty over Britain's departure from the EU thanks to the UK pet market's natural resilience.

"I'm up to five offers now," said Kurt Mattes. "Virginia, Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt, Syracuse and U.Conn have offered me."
The Irish are also recruiting Mattes. "I get letters from Coach Simmons all the time. They have not been by my school yet. I went there for their junior day. That went real well. I liked it there. That was good."
We asked Kurt what the Irish coaches have been telling him so far about an offer. "To tell you the truth, I'm really not clear on what their plans are," Mattes said. "I guess I'll see what happens when they come to my school."
Kurt says he'll visit some schools this summer, but he's not sure where he'll be heading at this point. "I don't have any real plans yet. I guess I'll kind of see which schools offer me and get to work from there."
Mattes also said he's not sure when he'll make his decision. "I'll just wait to get that feeling," he said. "When I get that feeling, I'll commit."
Comments: The Irish appear to be in the race, but it seems like they'll have to throw their hat in the ring with an offer soon to remain in the race. We'll keep an eye on Kurt to see what the Irish plan to do about an offer.

Brown - Drogba fouled me
Wes Brown feels Chelsea's winning goal should not have stood as he insists he was fouled by Didier Drogba.
Last Updated: 08/11/09 8:57pm
Manchester United defender Wes Brown insists he was fouled by Didier Drogba and Chelsea's winning goal at Stamford Bridge should not have stood.
Chelsea scored the only goal of a tight encounter on 76 minutes when John Terry's header from Frank Lampard's free-kick took a nick off Nicolas Anelka and crept inside the far post.
United were unhappy with the goal, feeling the free-kick awarded for Darren Fletcher's challenge on Ashley Cole was harsh and that Drogba committed a foul after Terry headed the ball on.
Drogba appeared to drag Brown to the ground and the United centre-half believes the incident prevented him from being in a position to block Terry's effort.
Let down
"I don't think the referee played well and we've been let down by that goal," Brown told MUTV. "The decision to award the free-kick was harsh.
"Then Drogba was holding me and pulling me down, obstructing me from challenging for the ball when the free-kick came in the box. The ref didn't see that either - what can we do about it?"
The Premier League champions produced a much-improved performance compared to recent weeks and Brown acknowledged losing in West London is a bitter pill to swallow.
He added: "It's very hard to take, we played really well.
"I thought we played really well as a team and passed the ball brilliantly. We were the better team and had more chances.
"We should have done better with our chances, but we definitely didn't deserve this result and it's tough because we go home with no points."
With Rio Ferdinand injured, and Nemanja Vidic on the bench, Brown continued his partnership with Jonny Evans and he was happy with the display.
"We were fine," continued Brown. "I thought we played well as a back four and I thought we limited them to very few chances.
"In that sense, we felt like we did our jobs, which makes it worse when they score a goal like that. It's disappointing.
"We just have to keep going and try to put this behind us. We need to carry on playing as we did today, but just add goals to the performance."

Afleet Esprit recorded her third straight victory with a professional performance in the 2014 Thousand Guineas Prelude at Caulfield this afternoon.
Afleet Esprit made her black type racing debut with a narrow win in the Listed Cap D'Antibes Stakes (1100m) at Flemington on September 13 and she stamped herself as genuine Thousand Guineas contender with another strong effort.
Jockey Damien Oliver went into the Thousand Guineas Prelude with plenty of confidence and he got the Bel Esprit filly in an excellent position just behind the leaders in the early stages of the race and the three-year-old was too strong for her rivals in the last 150 metres.
"She is a little ripper," Oliver said.
"She puts herself in a good position, she has great acceleration when you want it and they keep underestimating her, but she keeps on winning.
"We are just not sure if she will get out to the mile and will have a conversation with David and see what he thinks."
While Oliver is not certain that Afleet Esprit is capable of running out the strong 1600 metres that is required to win the Thousand Guineas, trainer David Hayes believes that the step-up in trip will sort the filly and he confirmed that she will take her place in the field for the Group 1 event at Caulfield on October 11.
"Ollie looked very confident on her in the middle stages and she is a filly that I think will run a really good mile," Hayes said.
"I know she is by Bel Esprit and sometimes they are more noted for sprinting, but she has such a relaxed demeanor and she can run such fast sectionals.
"I haven't had a good look at the beaten brigade, but Ollie had enough class to be patient and he just waited and waited and she gave a great kick.
"We will have a couple of nice weeks in the paddock and then into the Guineas.
"She is in really good shape."
Bring Me The Maid was well-backed in the lead-up to the Thousand Guineas Prelude, but the daughter of Sebring was never able to get into the race, while Group 1 winner Go Indy Go returned to a semblance of her best with a fast-finishing third.
Afleet Esprit has now recorded four wins from her six career starts.

I suspect that if he resists, Mentl will be made aware that this is not a dream rather more abruptly now.
Lots of things right with that film. And lots of things wrong.
The music though…yeah
Skulls and hearts. I think that sums up this page nicely.
Goodbye Boric. I hope you enjoy the afterlife or whatever is next for you.
Is Jeeves meant to be P G Wodehouse's Reginald Jeeves, or generic quintessential valet 'Jeeves'?
Considering he's (apparently) modeled on Stephen Fry, who played him in a television adaption of "Jeeves and Wooster," I would guess he's Mentl's version of the original.
Ouch, right in the feels… Mentl better not play the fool too long or the sisters are going to wake him up good!… Well, although he is not asleep….
Reginald as played by Stephen Fry.
sob. Poor Tula.
There's a sort of symmetry to having Spock and Batman in the background of that panel. I approve.

Gene Wilder, dead of Alzheimer's related complications – Age 83
I can't believe I am so moved by the death of a public person. I never knew Mr Wilder, never met him – though fantasy could wish to make it so. But his public work and persona made such an impact on me through my impressionable youth and beyond that his loss is somehow so devastating, and I can't work tonight.
So silly – so maudlin.
Dan Rather's beautiful words about him on FaceBook asked for comment about what his readers' favorite Gene Wilder role was. My own answer came in a heartbeat:
Willy Wonka, of course.
Wilder's Wonka gives us permission to be different, to be crass and crabby, even, to be not "beautiful" so long as it's in the service of art and creative expression. And while Roald Dahl's literary creation was THE most wonderful matrix on which to create, it was Wilder who made this Technicolor Wonka breathe, who made us love him despite his flaws, his selfishness, even his capacity for petty cruelty. Always recognizing that despite his own incomplete nature, his unfinished half-manhood, he could lead us, could show us the way to our own imperfect but beautiful humanity.
"We are the music makers / And we are the dreamers of dreams …"
Sweet dreamer, magic maker – yours was, to me, a life well-lived. A gift freely and beautifully given to us. Thank you.
Warm regards,
In answer to some requests –
RE: Morcai's bonus.
Check out the update on the Hot Stuff section.
Happy Holidays. 🙂
Warm regards,
Some New Art
Just to say thanks for the patience you have displayed, and your continued loyalty, I put up a new desktop in the Freebies
It's a little bit of Victorian fantasy with a favorite redhead, showing off a bit of my latest experiment in adding something to her skin texture which I think was long overdue.
And in the Hot Stuff, a pair of new desktops that are not really SFW. One is an answer to an online request that also happens to coincide with my own likes regarding busty gals in plaid shirts and the other is the same scene as the one in Freebies, albeit showing off considerably more of Tula's new skin texture.
Warm regards,
Vito – the Bayploy Interview
When the characters in "Challenges Of Zona" sleep, it is common that they travel to the Otherwhen. The Otherwhen is a place of dreams, unreality and, often, a refuge for those who are between life and death. It is also a perilous place where beings who are real, half-real and unreal try, sometimes desperately, to assert their power and the legitimacy of their very existence by creating, influencing or destroying the real beings who are there by chance, magick and choice.
One of the beings stranded there is a writer, a semi-existent personality named Ray Candlemaker who contributes to a non-existent men's magazine called BayPloy. In order to make himself Real, he will attempt to interview somnolent spirits of real people travelling to the Otherwhen in unconsciousness, or in rare cases, souls caught there between lives. Here, Vito at last consents to an interview.
RAY : Thanks very much for giving me this interview, Mr.Valero.
VITO: Sure, sure. Most days I'm bored outta my skull, so this is fine. I mean, how many times can a man watch "The Mark Of Zorro," anyway?
RAY: Nice apartment you have here.
VITO: It's just the old one I had after my divorce. I was there for years. I like it better than the place I was in when I got killed. I just could never keep up with all the work of a house all by myself, so I kind of let it go to pot, which is not good.
RAY: Ah – so, you were married once?
VITO: Yes.
RAY: Do you mind talking about it?
VITO: Yes.
RAY: Ah ….
VITO: Next question.
RAY: So, uh, when did you become … an enchanter? Was it a youthful ambition of yours, you read a lot of mystical books? Did you have a role model? Or was there some mystical event?
VITO: Well … sort of. I was fifteen, and I jacked this car —
RAY: Sorry – you stole a car?
VITO: Yep. I was kind of a wild kid. We had a lot of wise guys in the neighborhood, and —
RAY: Sorry – where was this?
VITO: A small East Coast city. All I'll say. Hope you don't mind.
RAY: No, that's fine. Please, go on. You were saying that there was a … gang presence?
VITO: It was what it was. When you couldn't count on the city to pick up the trash or keep old ladies from getting mugged, the Family was there. They had their own rules, and you lived by them and you were all right. You didn't? Well, mistakes had consequences, not like the courts, y'know? At least that was how we thought then. That was it, that was family. `Course anyone who wasn't family was fair game, so I spot this new Packard on Third Street, and I knew it wasn't one of ours. And see, I knew a guy that had a chop shop and would give me a good cut, so I boosted it, drove it across the bridge and then realized I wasn't alone.
RAY: Someone was in the car with you?
VITO: Oh, yeah, definitely. Jesus, scared the shit out of me. I'm driving along, and this voice from the back seat says, "Keep on driving, son – you're going in the right direction."
RAY: And did you?
VITO: I drove that thing clean out of town and onto the Interstate. All the time I keep trying to look behind me, scared that I'm gonna get my head blown off or something, but I could never get a good look, even in the mirror, for some reason. Hours we keep driving west on the highway. He finally directs me to a rest stop and we get out – it's this old, raggedy Mexican guy.
RAY: Was he armed?
VITO: No, and I just wanted to rabbit right there, the whole thing was so weird. Seriously, this five-foot-four, 67-year-old Mexican guy just looks up at me and grins. And I can't fucking move. He says, "You want to get a burger?"
RAY: What did you do?
VITO: We went and got a burger. He was … how to put this? He was just so easy to be with. He talked about girls, he talked about cars and music and how polishing – this is gonna sound weird unless you know what it really means – he talked about shining shoes and polishing a car. How it gets you thinking right, and puts your priorities in order. And he gave me a nickel and told me to call my mother and tell her I was okay.
RAY: Did you call your mother?
VITO: You're not Italian, are you? Of course I called Ma and I found myself saying I was going to California and I was gonna get a job and I would write and call. I had no idea in the world why she didn't scream at me a blue streak and reach through the phone line and strangle me. The whole thing was completely out of the ordinary. And so, we got back in the car and drove west, and .. well, that was Carlos.
RAY: Was Carlos your mentor?
VITO: Yep. He's the guy who taught me the sax, taught me jazz and enchantment and everything. He was just this little, funny fella that never bothered anybody and played like Lester Young. He was in a couple of jazz combos, as well as a pretty popular mariachi band. He was never a big name, but he knew some big people. Always just under the radar, unless you were one of the people who played.
RAY: Did you ever play in the mariachi band?
VITO: I'm a real ham-and-egger on a trumpet, but sometimes, yeah, when Santos or Caesar was sick, they had me fill in. I looked pretty good in the suit, if I say so myself.
RAY: So, how long did you study with him?
VITO: `Til he died. Was killed. Whatever. That was in … oh … `63?
RAY: Was killed?
VITO: I'll tell you that another time, okay? It's not too pleasant a memory.
RAY: Okay, so … you say Carlos knew famous people. Did you?
VITO: I can drop names, but other than entertainment value, what's the point? Being famous doesn't make you good or important. That's one of the things that's so fucked up about people, especially Americans. You'd think because some teenager can make a pop song sound good through autotune, he's as good as cured cancer. That's bullshit. Some of the most pathetic people I've ever known were famous. Hugely famous. And utter failures as human beings.
RAY: Nonetheless, it does sound like you lived a pretty colorful life. The women you've known.
VITO: I've always been a horny bastard. Carlos taught me how to push that energy where I wanted to, and make it a more positive part of me, but yeah, I still got laid a lot when I was young.
RAY: (consulting notes) Brigitte Bardot?
VITO: Eh. It was one night. What can I say? In the early seventies she went through a lot of musicians.
RAY: But … surely one of the world's most beautiful women.
VITO: Oh, she was gorgeous to look at. Oh, yeah, definitely she had that. In the sack she was fine, but really, sometimes I couldn't tell if it was me or just herself she was in bed with. And then, afterwards, she opens her mouth – and it was all over.
RAY: What exactly does that mean?
VITO: Look, I even speak French – one of the things that she liked about me. But I just couldn't have a conversation with her about anything important. Sorry, maybe it was just my impression, but that broad was dumb in any language. And racist. Not as bad then as she is now, but man, it was just that little tinge of ugly that made sure I wasn't ever gonna call her again.
RAY: Anyone else? Movie starlets, rock stars? Beautiful heiresses?
VITO: Let me tell you about beautiful women, okay? There's a saying, "handsome is as handsome does." Perfect example: There was this little white trash gal from Texas who cleaned houses for a living. When she was fifteen she got caught in a fire and got about thirty percent of her body covered in really bad scars, including her face. Some guys actually, like, start away when they see her for the first time. Me? All I could see was these huge, huge brown eyes and long, gorgeous chestnut hair and an aura you'd give your left nut to be next to. And then she started to talk, and smile and … she was the most feminine, vulnerable, charming, sweet and funny woman – she was also amazingly sexy … just so giving and took pleasure in every touch. You want to talk about class? You want to talk about somebody who just loved people for their own sake? I loved that girl. She was … well, anyway, she wouldn't ever be on a magazine cover, but she was just one of the most beautiful … Okay, I'm done talking about that.
RAY: I see. Well …
VITO: In fact, I'm done for now. Come back tomorrow, okay:? See ya then.

Taiwan's HTC Corp cut its revenue forecast for the fourth quarter to no growth over the same period a year earlier from around 20% to 30% year-on-year growth previously, surprising the market and sending its shares tumbling 7%
Read Article...
Former additional solicitor general Altaf Ahmed and senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Ms Kanimozhi and Mr Morani respectively, submitted that the situation of their clients was akin to that of the five corporate executives, who were granted bail by the Supreme Court on Wednesday
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court will on Friday hear bail pleas of DMK MP Kanimozhi and five other accused in the 2G case, advancing the hearing of their petitions from 1st December, reports PTI.
"All the bail applications would be heard tomorrow at 10.30am," justice VK Shali said today.
The accused, who include former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura and filmmaker Karim Morani, had pleaded that their bail applications should come up today itself but the court said they will be taken up tomorrow, advancing the date of their hearing from 1st December.
Others whose bail pleas will be heard tomorrow are DMK-run Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar and private firm Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd directors Asif Balwa and Rajeev Agarwal.
During the proceedings, former additional solicitor general Altaf Ahmed and senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Ms Kanimozhi and Mr Morani respectively, submitted that the situation of their clients was akin to that of the five corporate executives, who were granted bail by the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
"We are either similarly or better placed in relation to the accused who have already been granted bail. If possible, please list them for hearing today itself," Mr Luthra said.
"Don't send a wrong message to the general public that you are high and mighty," the court said while refusing to accede to their contention.
Additional solicitor general Mohan Parasaran, appearing for CBI, cited the apex court judgement on the bail applications of the five corporate executives, He, however, did not make his stand clear on whether he was supporting or opposing their petitions.
Ms Kanimozhi, daughter of DMK supremo M Karunanidhi, was sent to Tihar Jail on 20th May, while others in the case were arrested between 2nd February and 30th May, when Mr Morani was taken into custody.
Except Mr Behura, all the five accused, whose bail pleas are pending with the high court at present, were named in the second CBI's charge-sheet, which dealt with the alleged routing of Rs200 crore bribe through various firms to Kalaignar TV at the instance of Swan Telecom's promoter Shahid Usman Balwa, a co-accused in the scam.
The apex court had granted bail to five corporate honchos—Unitech MD Sanjay Chandra, Swan Telecom director Vinod Goenka and Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group executives Hari Nair, Gautam Doshi and Surendra Pipara, raising the hopes of early release of other jailed accused in the case.
Former telecom minister A Raja, who was among the first to be arrested in the case along with his private secretary RK Chandolia and former telecom secretary Mr Behura on 2nd February, is yet to move any court for bail.
Two others, Mr Chandolia and Shahid Usman Balwa, are yet to approach the high court against the trial court's 3rd November order, rejecting their bail pleas along with those of Ms Kanimozhi and five others, who have challenged the decision.
Studies show that the fees, paid at civic hospital for treatment, is the biggest impediment for the poor to use the public healthcare facilities
The free public healthcare system seems to be of little use for the poor. According to few studies, the user fee, paid by the patient at the time of using the public healthcare facilities, has kept the poor away from using the healthcare facilities.
According the policy brief complied by Centre for Enquiry Into Health and Allied Themes, only 2.47% patients were exempted from paying the fees on basis of their being below poverty line (BPL) category, although the number of BPL population is 37%. In Punjab only 0.4% of the BPL card holder were treated free and a common review of National Rural Health Mission (NHRM) observed that Chhattisgarh charges user fees for 95% of its public health facility users, the study sais. CEHAT is a Mumbai-based organisation involved in healthcare research and advocacy in Maharashtra.
"There has been evidence from the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO), which show that the utilisation of public health facilities has declined in the last two decades. User fee was introduced in India in the 1990's as a part of health sector reforms and many studies show that levying user fee is an important factor that has contributed to decrease in utilisation of the public health facilities," it says.
User fee is charged by developing nations, mainly because – it generates additional revenues, it would improve efficiency of healthcare delivery by reducing frivolous demand and equitable health services access. User fee revenues could also be used to cross-subsidise the disadvantages.
"In a situation like India where middle and high middle income groups have already abandoned the public sector, there is complete lack of familiarity with the health care supply situation as well as the gap between the actual supply and norms to even suggest that the public health facilities are crowded and that it is because of the frivolous demand by the masses, the policy note prepared by CEHAT says.
Anjali Kulkarni, a healthcare expert with experience in working in rural Maharashtra, says, "Only BPL card holders and senior citizen are exempted from user fees and many patients are denied this facility due to lack of documents. While working closely with a civic hospital, I had seen that the various machine and equipments that were supposed to be regularly maintained by using revenues earned from user fees, are in poor condition. This defeats the purpose of charging user fees. So there is no rationale behind charging such fees from patients."
Under the present guidelines, people from the BPL category are exempted from paying user fees at civic healthcare facilities. However, it has failed to protect the poor. "A study conducted in Bareilley, UP found that in 1999-2000, out of a total of 1.70 lakh outpatients at MPDH hospital, only 477 were treated free of cost. In 2000-01, out of 1.41 lakh outpatients, only 449 were treated free of cost," CEHAT stated in note.
Surprisingly, many African nations, which are always labelled as 'poor country', have successfully abolished user fees. CEHAT says, "It is quite unfortunate that despite the mountain of evidence that exists against charging user fees in government hospitals, Indian government is yet to rectify its policy decision."

Ruan Fenggen (April 26, 1910 – March 8, 1935), better known as Ruan Lingyu (Chinese: 阮玲玉), was a Chinese silent film actress. One of the most prominent Chinese film stars of the 1930s, her exceptional acting ability and suicide at the age of 24 led her to become an icon of Chinese cinema.
Early life[edit]
Ruan was born to a working class family in Shanghai. Her father died when she was young, and her mother brought her up working as a housemaid.
In 1926, to help make ends meet, Ruan signed up for the prominent Mingxing Film Company. She made her first film at the age of 16. The film, A Married Couple in Name Only (掛名的夫妻/挂名的夫妻), was directed by Bu Wancang.[1] Two years later, she was signed by Da Zhonghua Baihe Company (大中華百合公司/大中华百合公司), where she shot six films.[2] Her first big break came in Spring Dream of an Old Capital (故都春夢 or Reminiscences of Beijing, 1930) which was a massive hit in China. It was Ruan's first major work after signing with the newly formed Lianhua Studio in 1930. In it, she played a prostitute by the name of Yanyan.
Thereafter, Ruan became Lianhua's major film star. Her most memorable works came after 1931, starting with the melodrama Love and Duty (directed by Bu Wancang). Ruan had by then gained popularity owing to a string of lead roles, and in 1933 she was voted second runner-up in a poll held by Star Daily (明星日報) for China's "movie queen". (Hu Die emerged the winner and Chen Yumei was first runner-up).[3] Beginning with Three Modern Women (1932), Ruan started collaborating with a group of leftist Chinese directors.
In Little Toys (1933), a film by Sun Yu, Ruan played a long-suffering toy-maker. Her next film, The Goddess (1934; dir: Wu Yonggang), is often hailed as the pinnacle of Chinese silent cinema; Ruan sympathetically portrayed a prostitute bringing up a child. Later that year, Ruan made her penultimate film, New Women (directed by Cai Chusheng), in which she played an educated woman forced to death by an unfeeling society. The film was based on the life of actress Ai Xia, who killed herself in 1934.[4] Her final film, National Customs, was released shortly after her death.
One of Ruan's earliest films, Love and Duty (1931), directed by Bu Wancang, was discovered in Uruguay in 1994.[5]
Personal life[edit]
At the age of 16, Ruan became acquainted with Zhang Damin (张达民/張達民), whose family her mother worked for. Zhang was later driven out of his wealthy family due to his spendthrift ways and became a chronic gambler, supported by Ruan's salary. Unable to tolerate Zhang's gambling ways, Ruan split with him in 1933.[6] She then began living with Tang Jishan, a tea tycoon. In 1935, Zhang filed a lawsuit asking for reparations from Ruan. The tabloids seized on this opportunity to probe into Ruan's private life and put her under intense pressure.[7]
Following the completion of New Women, Ruan's life began to unravel. The film opened in Shanghai in 1935. Cai Chusheng was under massive pressure from tabloid reporters, who were extremely hostile, owing to the scathing depiction of the Shanghai tabloids in the movie. Cai was forced to make extensive cuts to the film. Even after that, Ruan's private life was mercilessly seized upon by the tabloids and her lawsuit with her first husband, Zhang Damin, became a source of vindictive coverage.
Faced with her various public issues and intense private problems, Ruan poisoned herself with an overdose of barbiturates in Shanghai on March 8, 1935, at the age of 24. Her suicide note apparently contained a line which says "gossip is a fearful thing" (人言可畏), although recent researchers have doubted the note's authenticity (it appeared to be forged by Tang Jishan).[7] Even China's preeminent intellectual Lu Xun was appalled at the details surrounding Ruan's death and wrote an essay entitled "Gossip is a Fearful Thing", denouncing the tabloids.[8]
Recent researchers believe her deteriorating relationship with Tang Jishan may have contributed to Ruan's suicide. He is believed to have physically abused her on the night of her suicide.[7] Her funeral procession was reportedly 3 miles (4.8 km) long, with three women committing suicide during the event. The New York Times called it "the most spectacular funeral of the century".[9]
In 1992, Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan made a movie about her life, Centre Stage, starring Maggie Cheung as Ruan. Cheung won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actress award.[10]
In 2005, Jacklyn Wu Chien-lien played Ruan in a 30-episode Mainland TV series on her life.[11] That same year a biography, Ruan Ling-Yu: The Goddess of Shanghai by Richard J. Meyer, was released by the University of Hong Kong Press.

"I'm pretty banged up, but it could be worse," said the MX2-GP star, who was remaining upbeat. "I think the collarbone could be more complicated because the x-ray showed a crack near where I have a plate. We should know some more information after another scan later."
An update on Osborne – who is expected to be a contender for the MX2-GP title in what will be his last campaign in the category – will be issued in the coming days. The first Grand Prix of the season takes place in Holland on Easter Monday, 9th April, in just over two weeks time.

When You Have a Good Job and You Want a Better Student Loan Refinance Interest Rate
Interest rates on student loan debt can be high. To solve this problem, a number of lenders have started offering opportunities for borrowers to refinance their student loan debt at much lower interest rates. In order to qualify for a refinance, most lenders have strict underwriting requirements. You need to have a job with a good salary and a good credit history. Many new lenders understand that recent college graduates are likely to have a thin file or no credit score, so they are willing to consider other indicators of your credit risk. For example, some lenders will look at your bank account to see the pattern of your cash flows and level of savings. Other lenders will consider where you studied and what degree you received. A computer science degree would be considered lower risk than an art history degree. All of these lenders are trying to find ways, beyond the traditional FICO score, of determining your credit risk.
The number of lenders offering student loan refinancing has expanded in recent years. A number of start-ups have been growing exponentially. SoFi is the leader in this space, having originated over $2 billion since launch. Credit unions have started expanding their student loan portfolios rapidly. Even large commercial banks are attracted to this space, with Citizens Bank leading the charge.
As you might imagine, the Silicon Valley start-ups tend to have the lowest interest rates. You can now find variable interest rates as low as 1.90%, and fixed rates as low as 3.50%. If you want to find a good rate, you should feel safe shopping around. According to FICO, you can apply for as many student loans as you want in a 30-day period, and it will only count as one inquiry. You can find a good list of student loan providers, ranked by interest rate, at MagnifyMoney.
If you want to refinance your student loan debt, remember to consider the following:
- Is there an up-front origination fee? If you plan on repaying your student loan debt early, a fee can become meaningful.
- Be careful before signing up for a variable rate. If you are going to pay off your student loan debt in the next few years, you may want to save the money and take the interest rate risk. But 25 years is a long time, and we are at all-time low interest rates. If rates increase, you could end up in a very difficult situation later during the term.
- Be extremely cautious before refinancing a federal student loan. Federal loans offer a lot of protections that private student loans do not, including income-based repayment. If you refinance a federal student loan to a private loan, you will be giving up all of those protections.

MrMoneyMustache review of SoFi:
From that page:
I don't get excited about lower monthly payments, loan forgiveness, or any other financial frills. I also don't think anyone should borrow money for a wedding, vacation, or car, regardless of the rate. But for any debt you are currently stuck with, I do want you to end up with the lowest possible interest rate. You combine this with the making the largest possible monthly payment to destroy the loan in the shortest possible time, and thus escape from your Debt Emergency very quickly and move on to build real wealth.
