Ol’ Ben opened the big barn door. His four Belgian draft horses tromped on in. Ben tried to close the door but the horses had knocked it off its overhead rail. He backed up to the heavy door and tried to lift it back on the hanger. It wasn’t easy in the boot suckin’ mud. He had it balanced precariously just about to drop into the groove when one of the horses bumped into the door from the inside. It toppled over on Ben like a giant shoe sole squashing an ant! The horses spooked and thundered out of the barn…clattering the length of the door! Ben tunneled our from under and lay there gasping like a winded salamander ‘til somebody found him. He survived, just like I did. It happens all the time. Close calls. Horses kin hurt ya!

Commenter: Mary Jo AlyanakI left Cal Poly in 1989 with 2 degrees, a little less than $20K in regular student loans, and a $5K National Defense Student Loan. Things would have been okay, but there was a bit of a recession in Bay Area construction. I found work which was not exactly what I went to school for, but it paid my bills until a back injury interfered. While I was healing from surgery they expected a full recovery, but on 1/27/93, I was violently attacked at work by a man who had been embezeling from the company. It was a workers’ compensation claim, so I was called "temporarily disabled" for more than a decade, and the student loans ballooned to more than $33K with interest. I never did give up my right to have them dismissed for permanent disablility, so upon finally settling the workers’ comp case, my neurosurgeon filled out the appropriate form. The company collecting refused to accept the form, twice. The manager there told me that I had cheated by consolidating loans after I knew I was disabled, and insisted I was not eligible for dismissal. She considered "disbursement" to apply to the consolidation date, while it is clearly defined as referring to when the student was in school. Social Security has considered me disabled since 2005, and now the Government takes 15% of my SS Disablility to pay the student loan that was supposed to be dismissed if I were ever permanently disabled. Go figure.

Commenter: MikeBefore I was placed on disability I lost a lot of work and ended up in default on my student loan. Two board certified physicians – mine and one hired by social security – agreed I could not maintain a job. That was not enough for the Department of Education. They turned down a discharge because I didn’t supply enough information, but they had medical records going back 12 years. I should not have been surprised. One of the collectors told me that there was no way I’d receive a discharge unless I was dying of cancer. From reading about this and experiencing it in my own way I have to say the system is rigged. All SS recipients were to receive a $250 stimulus check but mine was confiscated. Like Fannie Mae really needed that 250 while my income is $900 a month. I’ve read something about student loan collections being limited if you are below the poverty line. That helps because if they start taking my SS I won’t be able to maintain a residence.

He did – fatefully – get onto the field. Early in the match it looked like Manly would stretch its winning run over Newcastle to 12 when they led 10-nil after 25 minutes, 16-8 at half-time and 16-10 with less than 10 minutes to go, despite the kamikaze efforts of Newcastle captain Paul Harragon, inspired by coach Malcolm Reilly’s whispered words “You don’t get sent off in grand finals”. 

 He bred the AJC Derby winner Valiant Crown (1947) and Golden Slipper winner Royal Parma (1968), and among other sporting achievements was a champion boxer, rower, polo player and rode steeplechase races in England, including a placegetter in the 1963 Grand National at Aintree. The equestrians are part of an elite band of Hunter Olympic gold-medal winners, including hockey’s Julie Towers, who collected gold at Sydney in 2000, and Shelley Andrews, who did likewise at Atlanta in 1996. Swimmer Angie Bainbridge collected gold at Beijing when she swam in a heat of the 4×200 relay but watched from the stands as her relay teammates caused one of the biggest boilovers in Olympic swimming history by upstaging the US to win the final in world-record time.

 “We know that it isn’t an easy time for Newcastle at the moment, but if it is any consolation it isn’t any easier in the United Kingdom either. We know that this region is based on coal and steelmaking industries, both of which are suffering considerable contraction and difficulties at this particular time.” The Prince added:
