Habitat and Ecology: | A common shrub in Mediterranean sclerophyll scrubland (maquis, garrigue); also in dry woodland with Pinus spp., Carpinus betulus, Quercus ilex and other oaks, Quercus-Lentiscus scrub, as well as in montane and wetter forest with Cedrus libani, Pinus nigra, Juniperus foetidissima, and J. excelsa. The altitudinal range is 1-2,200 m a.s.l. It occurs on dry, stony slopes in thin soils over all kinds of rock from calcareous to siliceous and serpentine, but uncommonly on sand dunes; in pastures at higher altitudes it is usually a sign of overgrazing. It is largely restricted to regions with a Mediterranean climate, but in the Balkans and the Iberian Peninsula it may occur in more continental conditions. The subspecies badia and oxycedrus are tolerant of frost, unlike the subspecies macrocarpa and transtagana. The latter two are largely restricted to coastal dunes or old, vegetated beaches on sand, where they occur in open pine woods (Pinus halepensis, P. brutia, P. pinea) as well as in scrub (garrigue, maquis) or associated with coastal grasses. |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: | No |
Generation Length (years): | 20 |
Use and Trade: | Prickly Juniper is suitable for cultivation as an ornamental in southern Europe where a number of cultivars, especially with more pendulous foliage, are commonly planted in gardens and parks. Essential oils are extracted from the branches and leaves, especially in France and Turkey. This 'oil of cade' is used for medicinal purposes. |
Major Threat(s): | No overall threats have been identified for this species although coastal urban and tourist developments have had some impact on coastal subpopulations. |
Conservation Actions: | This species is present in many protected areas throughout its range. |

- - Questions about Clinton Anderson training methods.
Questions about Clinton Anderson training methods. I started out with Parelli and really didn't think it was doing much. When I cam on here I heard about Clinton Anderson. I heard very few bad things about him so I bought his book of exercises and really liked it. I find it to make way more sense then the Parelli program, but I have a few questions I am not sure about. 1. When I am doing the hula hoop game, if I ask my mare to come into me she will once I tighten up the lead rope. When she get there she always turns her head to the side and it seems like she is trying to avoid me. This happens in other exercises too. I don't know if this is important or not so I figured I'd find out:) 2. We are currently up to the backing exercises. She will back up in all the exercises but NEVER with energy. She will let me run the stick into her a bunch of times and just keep barley going. What should I do when she doesn't give me energy in her backing?? Thanks so much for your help. It is greatly appreciated. |
If you have the opportunity to go to one of his clinics, it's worth it! But, like all the others, it's a business so you get bombarded with "buy my products"! Giddyupflix.com has a lot of his DVDs, as well as other trainers. For a monthly fee you can get alot of good information. Books are nice, but sometimes watching helps more. 1. Pull her head towards you so she's looking at you. 2. If she doesn't do what you want, then ask harder! For example, wiggle the rope for her to back. If she is slow or sluggish, then get more aggressive until she moves with energy. |
My husband follows CA. I have never heard him call anything a game. |
Thanks Gigem! I will look into it. Always behind- That phrasing was incorrect. I apologize. |
I wouldn't worry about the phrasing. Parelli and CA are identical. Games/exercises are exactly the same they just call them different things. So it's merely a case of which personality you prefer. CA is more direct and openly aggressive. PP has a lot of talking/lectures on their dvd's rather than just the exercises. It's just personal preference. |
I am willing to say that CA and PP have some similarities but they are in no way identical. Though I do not follow either Mr. AB loves watching his CA DVDs so I have seen several of them. He sometimes see PP things on TV. The word identical never even entered my mind when comparing the two. |
Well I assure you that they are. I own every DVD of both Parelli and CA. Along with Stacy Westfall, La Cense etc etc. The exercises are the same. The porcupine game for example is simply yielding to direct pressure. ALL the exercises even the ridden (beginning with single reining and moving into follow the rail and the clover leaf pattern) identical. The only difference is that CA doesn't seem to rely directly on a personality quadrant in order to select exercises to focus on. Both of them simply repackage the same identical stuff with different names to try and make people think they invented it and it's unique in order to command the. Prices that they do. |
The goals are the same how they go about things are not always the same. Heck, CA's halter is different than PP halter. |
When your horse looks away from you, try looking in the opposite direction. This seems to bring them back to you. When asking for energy in backing, ramp up your energy. Stand at the end of your lead but with the belly of it touching the ground then use your energy to ask for one energetic step back then immediately relax. Walk her around then repeat. Don't try for lots of steps. Get a good first one and the others will eventually come. |
Lol sorry moving away from the OPs original question but I believe this important. If people cannot recognise what is being done they cannot understand why or how it works and cannot therefore be the best for the horse. The only difference in the halters is CAs is stiffer and has two more knots to apply more pressure faster. If you believe their approach is different then please give an example and I will translate into other names. I can even refer you to individual chapters in their respective DVDs to prove what I am saying (if it wasn't for copyright I would post clips) perhaps I can search YouTube for clips. Ps not looking to offend anyone, but both CA and PP ought to be up there as a lesson in the power of effective marketing and building a brand. Heck CA even charges for photos and autographs now. |

3. BofA Tumbles After Stress-Test Error Halts Dividend Increase
April 28 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of America Corp. fell the most since November 2012 after suspending plans for a dividend increase and $4 billion of share repurchases because of an error in its stress-test submission to the Federal Reserve.

6. U.S. Stocks Rebound as Treasuries Climb, Emerging Markets Slump
April 15 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks climbed for a second day as optimism grew over corporate earnings and the Nasdaq Composite Index rebounded after falling near its average level for the past 200 days.

Help from Baylor shocks KSU coach
Updated 9:41 pm, Monday, March 11, 2013
After watching his team squander a chance to win the Big 12 title, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber wasn't too concerned about Kansas' game with Baylor later on Saturday.
Weber returned to Manhattan, Kan., after his team's game at Oklahoma State and didn't realize the Bears had an upset chance until he started getting text messages.
"It kind of shocked me, but I let it go," Weber said. "I was just so disappointed in our lack of taking advantage of a good opportunity."
The realization that Baylor's victory had given the Wildcats a share of their first conference championship in 36 seasons came later.
"I was actually walking our dogs with my wife (after returning home) when I heard some horns and cheering from the baseball stadium," Weber said. "We live about two blocks away, and I thought they might have won a game. Then, I must have gotten about 50 texts in a two-minute period. To be honest, I was stunned."
The Wildcats' share of the Big 12 title came a year to the day after Weber was fired as Illinois' coach.
"There were a lot of different emotions within the last year," Weber said. "I couldn't feel more fortunate to be at Kansas State. We have a great opportunity, a good group of players who have really listened and bought in, and good chemistry with our staff. It's been a fun year."
Sizzling TCU shooting: TCU will enter the Big 12 tournament, which starts Wednesday in Kansas City, with some confidence after its victory over Oklahoma.
The Horned Frogs hit a conference-best 54.7 percent against the Sooners for their top shooting percentage in a conference game this season. And before shooting 50 percent in their loss last week at KSU, the Horned Frogs hadn't shot above 39 percent in conference play all season.
"The ball is going in, and I think Kyan Anderson is doing a great job in managing the team and taking advantage of a few opportunities when he's had open shots," TCU coach Trent Johnson said. "We're getting the same shots as we have all along. We're just shooting with a little more confidence."
Tough competition: Several coaches are expecting the most wide-open tournament in league history.
"Right now, we have six teams in the tournament that obviously have a great opportunity to go to the NCAA tournament," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "The sixth seed just beat us by 25.
"Our guys know there's a fine line. There's less margin of error than ever before to win it."
No holding back Hield: Oklahoma guard Buddy Hield told anyone who would listen that he was a fast healer. But nobody thought he would return from his fractured foot like he did.
After missing five games, Hield had a huge outing in his second game back. The freshman point guard tallied 10 points, nine rebounds, two assists and three steals before fouling out late against TCU. He also produced eight offensive rebounds.
"That was a very quick return," OU coach Lon Kruger said. "The doctors were pleased and surprised he made it back that quickly. Buddy is a quick healer, and he responded very well."

Boston Business Journal Presents Bentley University's Earl Avery with Lifetime Achievement Award for Work as a Leader in Diversity
The Boston Business Journal presented Earl Avery, special assistant to the president and ombudsman at Bentley University, with a Lifetime Achievement Award as part of its 2011 Leaders in Diversity Awards, the publication's annual program that honors companies and businesspeople for their leadership in promoting inclusiveness and economic opportunity. The award was presented in October at the Westin Copley Hotel in Boston.
"Earl is an essential part of the Bentley fabric, and has been the central catalyst for building a more diverse faculty, staff and student body," says Bentley President Gloria Cordes Larson. "He has also supported and mentored countless students, faculty and staff over the years. His influence has also expanded beyond the Bentley campus, through his work with several national organizations to promote greater diversity in business schools and business practice."
The BBJ noted Avery's ability to tackle diversity issues in myriad ways, including creating a series of two-and-a-half day retreats on the topic that have now reached a majority of Bentley staff and faculty.
Other highlighted accomplishments include:
- Serving as the campus ethics officer and as a mentor and counselor to a variety of campus minority employee groups
- Organizing the school's gospel choir and annual Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast
- Developing the Summer Transition Education Program (STEP) program, which provides support for students from urban schools who may not meet Bentley's traditional admission requirements
- Increasing faculty diversity through a partnership with historically black colleges and universities, including visiting professorships and distance learning programs that provide a diverse experience for students and faculty both at Bentley and the partner schools
- Assisting in the formation of a consortium of seven Boston-area business schools that work together to attract diverse faculty to the region
- Addressing a surge of applicants and students from Asia, particularly China, by working with a cross-cultural expert to help tailor a suite of programs designed to ease their transition
Avery was honored among local business leaders who have set personal examples for others in the area of diversity and inclusion. Several companies were also recognized for building strong, effective and measurable diversity programs.
"Providing economic opportunity to a wider cross-section of Bostonians and promoting more diversity are key components to making Boston a better place to live and work," BBJ Publisher Chris McIntosh said of winners. "We're pleased to honor individuals and companies that are taking the lead."
BENTLEY UNIVERSITY is one of the nation's leading business schools, dedicated to preparing a new kind of business leader – one with the deep technical skills, broad global perspective, and high ethical standards required to make a difference in an ever-changing world.

Anyone can watch football, says Arshavin, even blondes
Four blondies, and one kind of mousy one
If you're determined to burrow into the mind of a footballer to find out exactly what makes him tick, then there are only two destinations for you. The first is rioferdinand.com – home to Rio Ferdy's exclusive football magazine.
Just three minutes of staring blankly at the site, and even a really tired cat would be able to write a thesis on the inner workings of Rio "P Diddy" Ferds.
And the second is Andrey Arshavin's unbeatable blog, which finds fans of the dinky little fashionista posing strange and intriguing questions, which Arshavin dutifully answers using words and emoticons :-I
Below is a little taster from the most recent Q&A:
2. From dmi3y
I saw your pictures taken during training on the Arsenal web-site, and I figured that you are a very cheerful man, just like me … So my question is: what does space smell like? And another one (only I want you to answer "yes , you'll marry, you will have a family, kids, lots of happiness , and you'll love each other for the rest of your lives " so that I could show her your reply and say" Look, honey, Andrey knows, he doesn't lie" . So the question is: Will I marry my Milana?
Arshavin: Space smells of eternity. Will you have a wedding? I do not know, I'm not a fortune-teller7. From lenor2802
Andrey, I am your big fan and I want to tell you that you're a brilliant footballer. I do art and music. And I wonder what players think about art and what styles, genres they prefer … Thanks in advance. Elena.
Arshavin : Different people have different tastes. Therefore, each person chooses for himself what he likes be he a medical worker or a steelworker8. From Russian … English … French … ??? What tongue do you like?? Thank you! Good luck in football and in your personal life!
Arshavin: Beef tongue10. From lubitelnica
Do you think blondes can watch football or it's not worth it? I'm a blonde, but I love football, that's why I'm asking. My friend and I even wrote a book about football. And where can one get the chants "especially for blondes"?
Arshavin: Football is universal. It can be played by thick and thin, tall and small, fast and slow. It can also be watched by stupid and smart, blondes and non blondes
Great stuff.

"Because $10,000 $5,000 $1,000 is too much to pay for an autopilot, especially one that doesn't do exactly what you want."
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, colloquially known as a "drone") is basically an aerial robot. As we define it, it is capable of both remotely controlled flight (like a regular RC aircraft) and fully-autonomous flight, controlled by sensors, GPS, and onboard computers performing the functions of an autopilot. Our UAVs include airplanes, helicopters, quadcopters and blimps. Most of them are under five pounds, and some of them (especially the blimps) can be used indoors.
We are focused on non-commercial ("recreational") projects by amateurs, although pros are always welcome too. Reasons to make your own UAV range from a fun technical challenge, student contests, aerial photography and mapping (what we call "GeoCrawling"), and scientific sensing. We are primarily interested in civilian, not military, UAV uses here.
If you're new to all this, start here.
DIY Drones is a community based on the Ning social networking platform, and anybody who registers (it's free and easy) can post their own blog entries like this one on the front page, along with starting discussions in the sidebar at left or uploading videos below that. Your registration gives you the ability to do a lot on the site--so feel free to post anything you think will be of interest to this community!
There are other amateur sites out there, from the discussion forums of RC Groups to individual blogs, but DIY Drones is explicitly built as a social network, which means that the community is as important as the content. We're also focused on the most accessible end of the amateur UAV world, with the aim of potentially including high school students.
This means we emphasize amateur UAV projects that are:
I just want to say thanks for the site
this is really cool. I wanna have a UAV of my own and I know nothing about techniques. I think this is a good platform to realize what I want.
" Our UAVs include airplanes, helicopters, quadcopters and blimps".
Any room for rovers? I see they're represented in the banner at the top.
It is still valid in 2016? Thanks.
I have an idea about Blogs but not shure were to share, it's a thread about forum ideas to discuss? thank's

Morgan tags out to Crimson who trades holds with Magnus for a bit. Crimson locks in a head lock, but neither man can get a clear advantage. Crimson sends Magnus into the ropes and hits a big clothesline before hitting a cravat and running knee to the back. Morgan tags in and launches himself into Magnus before Crimson launches him with a big suplex. Morgan goes for the pin but only gets two. Another tag to Crimson, who's distracted and hung up on the top rope by Joe. Magnus connects with a clothesline and mounts Crimson with a series of punches before tagging out to Joe.
Joe hits a couple of big punches. Crimson tries to respond but Joe just lays in with more punches,harder, before tagging out to Magnus for some smooth double team work for another near fall. Magnus wears down Crimson for a bit before tagging right back out to Joe. Joe comes in and beats Crimson down with a series of rights in the corner. Joe causes a distraction and allows Magnus to work over Crimson.
Joe tags out to Magnus who comes in an takes Crimson to the mat with a rear chin lock. Crimson is able to fight up to his feet, but eats a backdrop suplex that's good for another two count. Magnus takes Crimson into his own corner and tags out to Joe who hits a nasty chop to Crimson's chest.
Crimson begins to fight back, and charges for his own corner, but Joe catches him with a powerslam for another two count. Joe tags out to Magnus who comes in with a nasty elbow drop for another near fall. Magnus tags out and Joe comes in with a series of jabbing rights in the corner. Joe whips Crimson across the ring, but then eats a back elbow, big boot, and clothesline from the middle rope from Crimson. Both men are down.
Both men make the tag, and Morgan comes in as a house of fire, taking Magnus out, then taking Joe out with a big clothesline, before taking both men out with a huge double clothesline. Morgan charges Magnus in the corner and eats a big boot, but comes right back with a big slam, putting Magnus down for a two count. Joe ambushes Morgan and hits him with a bunch of rights. Crimson tries to break it up and the champs hit a double shoulderblock. They call for a double team choke slam, but Magnus breaks it up and sends Crimson from the ring. Magnus and Joe beat on Morgan in the corner before Magnus goes to the opposite side. Morgan pushes Joe into Magnus. Joe avoids a spear and Crimson hits Morgan. Joe sends Crimson from the ring, hits Morgan with a snap mare, and Magnus hits a middle rope elbow drop, getting the three count on Morgan.
Winners and NEW TNA Tag Team Champions: Samoa Joe and Magnus
Magnus and Joe celebrate with their titles as they make their way to the back. Crimson looks distraught as he checks on Morgan in the ring.
Crimson is shown walking out on Morgan who is still recovering in the ring, before it's sent to Christy Hemme in the back with Bully Ray.
Bully Ray tells Hemme to shut up, and that no matter how much make up she puts on, or how she dresses, she'll never look good. He tells her to get lost. He says he's got Storm and Hardy's number, and he's in Roode's head like no one's ever been. He's not a dark horse, he's the thoroughbred. He says to say it with him: Bully Ray: TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Ray walks off.

Or, as UMass coach Charley Molar would later describe it, a "team-building" exercise that instills "mental toughness." Advertisement If you watch the video above—which UMass apparently posted to YouTube, as a promotional video for the program—it looks a tad bit more intense than that.How intense? From the Gazette: Advertisement Former quarterback Brandon Hill, who missed time in 2011 due to a shoulder injury, hoped to compete for the job in 2012. He said he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury during one of the wrestling matches.Molnar "had me wrestling a linebacker in the snow," Hill said. "He put me down and I dislocated my shoulder and completely tore my labrum in half. That kind of bummed me out. I had to go get surgery after that."You know what they say, though: A torn labrum will put some hair on man's chest. Here's how Molnar described it to the Gazette: Sponsored "We tried to get these guys to feel that fear, but go out there and do it anyway," he added. "We never had one guy not go out and box or wrestle. Some of them went out with a lot of trepidation, but by the end of the cycle were thoroughly enjoying the activity. We did all these activities with safety in mind. I'm a fanatic about player safety. I thought it aided in team-building. Guys faced the fear and fought through it. That was the objective."UMass alumni are passing around a petition to "stop the mistreatment of current players." It has 156 signatures. According to the Gazette, the NCAA permitted such "drills" at the time the video was filmed but it has since banned so-called "combatives." Advertisement The university says it's investigating. The Minutemen are 0-4 on the year and have lost by an average of 25.5 points per game. They won one game last year.[Daily Hampshire Gazette] Reply55 repliesLeave a reply

Quotes of the day from previous years:
- 2004
- How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress. ~ Niels Bohr
- selected by Kalki
- 2005
- The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient... Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach — waiting for a gift from the sea. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh (born 22 June 1906)
- proposed by Kalki
- 2006
- The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words; whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
- proposed by Kalki
- 2007
- Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
- proposed by Kalki
- 2008
- If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we are at no loss to perceive that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions of the human mind. ~ Wilhelm von Humboldt
- proposed by Kalki
- 2009
- This earth is one of the rare spots in the cosmos where mind has flowered. Man is a product of nearly three billion years of evolution, in whose person the evolutionary process has at last become conscious of itself and its possibilities. Whether he likes it or not, he is responsible for the whole further evolution of our planet. ~ Julian Huxley
- proposed by Kalki
- 2010
- In tradition and in books an integral part of the individual persists, for it can influence the minds and actions of other people in different places and at different times: a row of black marks on a page can move a man to tears, though the bones of him that wrote it are long ago crumbled to dust. In truth, the whole progress of civilization is based upon this power. ~ Julian Huxley
- proposed by Kalki
- 2011
- That government is best which makes itself unnecessary. ~ Wilhelm von Humboldt
- proposed by Kalki
- 2012
We see what we are told that we see. Repetition and pride are the keys to this. To hear and to see Even an obvious lie Again And again and again May be to say it, Almost by reflex Then to defend it Because we have said it And at last to embrace it Because we've defended it. |
~ Octavia Butler ~ |
- proposed by Ningauble
- 2013
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few. |
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh ~ |
- proposed by Kalki
- 2014
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable. All these and other factors combined, if the circumstances are right, can teach and can lead to rebirth. |
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh ~ |

The entire cosmos is made out of one and the same world-stuff, operated by the same energy as we ourselves. "Mind" and "matter" appears as two aspects of our unitary mind-bodies. There is no separate supernatural realm: all phenomena are part of one natural process of evolution. There is no basic cleavage between science and religion; they are both organs of evolving humanity. |

Art does not imitate, but interpret. It searches out the idea lying dormant in the symbol, in order to present the symbol to men in such form as to enable them to penetrate through it to the idea. Were it otherwise, what would be the use or value of art? |

Every mission constitutes a pledge of duty. Every man is bound to consecrate his every faculty to its fulfilment. He will derive his rule of action from the profound conviction of that duty. |

One sole God; One sole ruler, — his Law; One sole interpreter of that law — Humanity. |

The Dress Bridal Boutique
Black Blush Brown Gold White
Baby's Breath Hydrangea Rose
Gold and blush run through out veins over here at SMP, it's true. So when a shoot as pretty as this one planned around those two beautiful hues lands in our lap, we simply can't wait to share it with all of you. Planned by Cassie Mullins Event Planning & Design with florals from Blush Custom Weddings, a picture perfect cake from A Cupcake A Day, gorgeous gown from The Dress Bridal Boutique and topped off with stunning photography by Studio Elle Photography – this type of pretty is just too good not to share.
From Studio Elle Photography…I love getting to collaborate with other vendors and fuel our creativity! The Cleveland Museum of Art's new atrium was the perfect indoor wedding venue to feature for this winter shoot. The mix of classic & modern architecture and abundance of natural light from the glass ceiling above made for a perfect atmosphere. I loved the character of the vintage elements in the building, so film was my go-to choice for the shoot.
We decided on a soft palette to give a cohesive look next to the marble backdrop. The gold was perfect to mix in a hint of warmth to the winter day, while the soft blush accents added a touch of color. We decided that a classic black-tie look for the couple would the perfect compliment to such an elegant venue.

The New Brockton town council had "heated" words for its volunteer fire department.
On Monday night..., the council refused a department request to pay for either fire runs or fuel.
Several council members say the fire department can afford to pay its own bills.
They add the town simply doesn't have the "extra" funds….

AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LI 2001-01-04 ASX-SIGNAL-G HOMEX - Melbourne +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ANZ today confirmed it had been successful in its application to the Supreme Court of India to lodge with the Court the monies in dispute with the National Housing Bank (NHB) of India. The decision agreeing to ANZ's request was handed down in New Delhi yesterday and followed an application filed by ANZ in the Supreme Court of India on 1 December 2000 regarding lodgement of the disputed monies. ANZ Chief Financial Officer Mr Peter Marriott said "The decision by the Supreme Court is an important step in putting the matter behind us as it halts further accumulation of interest on the disputed amount and caps ANZ's contingent liability in this dispute." Following the decision, ANZ will deposit with the Court an amount of Indian Rupees (INR) 15.22 billion (A$596 million) comprising INR9.12 billion (A$357 million) awarded to ANZ by Arbitrators in 1997 plus interest of INR6.1 billion (A$239 million). ANZ sold its Indian operations to Standard Chartered in April 2000 as part of the sale of Grindlays. ANZ has provided Standard Chartered with indemnities on credit and litigation matters, including the National Housing Bank matter. Provision for these indemnities was made in ANZ's 2000 Financial Results. As announced at ANZ's 2000 Annual General Meeting, ANZ has also been successful in its application to expedite the hearing of the case in the Supreme Court, which is now scheduled for April 2001. For media enquiries, please contact: Paul Edwards Head of Group Media Relations Tel 03-9273 6955 or 0409-655 550 Email email@example.com NOTE FOR EDITORS In 1992 Grindlays in India received a claim of approximately INR5.06 billion (A$198 million) from the National Housing Bank of India. The claim arose out of certain cheques drawn by NHB in favour of Grindlays, the proceeds of which were credited to the account of one of the customers of Grindlays. In March 1997, pursuant to an Arbitration Agreement, Arbitrators made an award in favour of Grindlays and NHB paid Grindlays the principal and interest due under the award of INR9.12 billion (A$357 million). Following a February 1998 decision by the Special Court in Mumbai to set the award aside, Grinclays filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of India seeking that the Special Court's orders be set aside. Should Grindlays be required to repay NHB the INR9.12 billion (A$357 million), interest at 18% on that amount may also be required to be paid. The lodgement of the disputed monies with the Supreme Court of India halts further accumulation of interest.

both have tremendous upside and excellent values at 17....its tough to determine who offers more to the team. Im a huge fan of both, ill be a sweaty shaky mess if they are both on the board at 17
I see no difference between the two. If Shanahan had a real QB he'd be drafted even higher. Tino was a joke.says the guy that hates the support of bringing in "yinzers" but wants the steelers to draft mike shanahan in the 3rd round lol
i would bet anything shanahan doesnt get drafted at all
I can't see him not getting drafted with teams wanting to copy the multiple TE sets of others.
hes very comfortably outside of the top 20 TEs...last year there were 10 TEs drafted, 12 in 2011, and 20 in 2010 which included gresham, graham, gronk, hernandez, and pitta
No chance he gets drafted, hes a priority FA
Yup, total idiot. It's not like their starting TE blew is knee out and will likely miss a good part of the season, and even if healthy is 30 years old. And it's not like the NFL is becoming a big time TE league either. Yup, that would be an idiot supreme move to draft the best TE in the draft. You nailed it.
