Britain bids farewell to Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady
<html><body>of the 20th century, a woman whose steely will is credited with rebuilding the country s global status, accelerating the fall of the Berlin Wall and modernizing the domestic economy. She truly was an Iron Lady. She is what made Great Britain great, said Maureen Mann, 71, whose husband and son fought in the 1982 Falklands War. Mann s family traveled hours from central England to stand along the procession route. Thatcher fought fiercely for that little island and the people on it. We feel a great sense of pride in that. Margaret Fowler, who, like Thatcher, is a grocer s daughter, left Oxford for London at 5a.m. to find a good spot along the route. She put Britain back on its feet. When you see the people turning out here, you can see the support for her still, Fowler said.Conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic came to pay their respects, with former U.S. secretaries of state George Shultz, James A. Baker III and Henry Kissinger joining British Prime Minister David Cameron and John Major, one of Cameron s Conservative predecessors. In accordance with Thatcher s wishes, the service was quintessentially British, including pieces by English composers Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, delivered a blessing. Cameron and Thatcher s American-born granddaughter,beats by dre pas cher, Amanda, offered readings. Amanda Thatcher, 19, drew particular accolades for her composure as she read a New Testament verse that spoke to her grandmother s strength: We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The Rev. Richard Chartres, a family friend and the bishop of London, told the mourners that Thatcher had requested not a typical eulogy, laced with her political accomplishments,cheap dre beats headphones,The numbers prove it- The Republican Party is estranged from, but a more simple and personal address. He delivered just that, reflecting on a young boy who had once written Thatcher asking whether prime ministers,beats studio, like Jesus Christ, never made mistakes. Thatcher s life, Chartres acknowledged, had been stormy. But as her remains rested in the church, he said, now there is a great calm.</body></html>
Report- No guaranteed money for Tyrann Mathieu
<html><body>Posted by Josh Alper on April 29, 2013, 11:36 AM EDT APAfter analyzing the?, PFT will review how well each team addressed those needs. Up next: The New England Patriots.What :?Wide receiver, defensive line,NBA center Jason Collins comes out- 'I'm black. And I'm gay', cornerback, safety.What they got:?Round 2: , DE/OLB, Southern Miss; , WR, MarshallRound 3: Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers,Casque beats by dre; Duron Harmon, S, RutgersRound 4: Josh Boyce, WR, TCURound 7: Michael Buchanan, DE, Illinois; Steve Beauharnais, LB, RutgersWhere they hit:?Trading out of the first round netted the Patriots picks in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds which was a nice haul for a team that came into the draft with just five picks. Collins had 10 sacks last season and could fit at a variety of spots for a Patriots defense that likes versatility and Buchanan showed some flashes in college that were worth a seventh-round shot. Ryan provides good depth for a secondary that needs it while Beauharnais was projected to go much earlier in the draft,monster beats. Dobson and Boyce both profile as receivers who can threaten defenses deep, which is something the Patriots offense needs.Where they missed: There were picks with higher floors than?Dobson in the second round, although the Patriots certainly have a strong enough team to focus on the ceiling. Neither he nor Boyce is a sure bet to add much immediate help to the offense, although doubling down on players with similar skill sets raises the likelihood that the Patriots will get some help in 2013. Harmon was the opposite of Beauharnais, a player expected to be drafted much later than the third round if he was drafted at all, but the Patriots tend to be good for at least one pick like that every year.Impact rookies:?We have no idea what the Patriots have planned for Collins at this point,Casque Beats, but his ability to play a variety of roles means he ll be able to carve out a niche if he impresses the coaching staff. Dobson and Boyce will certainly get chances to prove that they should be playing on the outside of the offense and Ryan should be in the mix for snaps in sub packages at cornerback.Long-term prospects:?Given the dearth of other options with their skill sets at receiver, both Dobson and Boyce can become fixtures in the lineup if they click with . That would add a dimension that s been missing from an excellent Patriots offense and would presumably make them an even harder team to stop, which is a pretty scary thought. There s a lot of room for growth in this draft class and if enough of them hit, the Patriots remarkable run under Brady and Bill Belichick will be well positioned to keep running through a second decade.</body></html>
Regulators to Discuss Twitter Hoax Tuesday

Commodity Futures Trading Commission member Scott O’Malia added a panel discussion on “market issues resulting from the April 23 twitter attack” to the agenda of the CFTC’s Technology Advisory Committee meeting.
