ABC Cows escaping through vandalised farm fences invade Ravenswood
A bovine breakout is making Northern Tasmanian residents moody.
Mooing cows roaming in Launceston are driving residents to despair.
Locals say cows are on the loose and are taking over the streets.
Residents of Ravenswood were woken last night by cows mooing outside their bedroom windows.
They say the cows have become regular visitors to the suburban area, with sometimes up to 40 roaming the streets.
And they are fed up.
They say their lawns are being torn up, the streets are littered with droppings, and the 700 kilogram cows present a dangerous obstacle on the roads.
The cows are coming from farmer Grant Hazelwood's property.
He says he is fighting a losing battle against people cutting his fences so they can illegally ride dirt bikes on his land.

Pakistan to mend fences with India -

Pakistani government is set to grant Most-Favored Nation (MFN) status to India with a condition of receiving substantial concessions in trade from New Delhi, a media report says.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will hold a special Cabinet meeting on Friday to discuss trade normalization with India, the daily Dawn newspaper reported on Tuesday.
This comes as the country's Commerce & Textile Industry Minister Khurram Dastagir Khan and some other officials are pushing hard for granting the status, now also referred to as Non-Discriminatory Market Access, to India.
The trade normalization process between the two neighbors started in 2011.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's agricultural group and textile and automobile industries fear India would flood their markets, rendering them jobless.
Senior Indian and Pakistani officials have recently held several rounds of fresh talks aimed at resolving long-standing disputes including the Kashmir issue.
Reports, however, say no major breakthroughs were made on controversial issues such as the Kashmir dispute and terrorism.
Nevertheless, the two countries agreed to ease a number of trade and travel restrictions in the interest of peace.
Dialogue between the two neighbors was brought to a standstill following the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008.

Verdict
Sitcom followed her victory in a beginners event at Thurles with a moderate run on her handicap debut over fences on the same track. BOXER BEAT has a terrible strike-rate having won just once if fifty career starts. However, he's better over fences and has competed at a much higher level so is handed the vote to double his tally. All Day Long makes his handicap debut and his form over fences has been poor while Budwser is still a maiden and has been at huge odds for all three runs over fences. An Dearthair Og showed promise in bumpers but fell on his chasing debut which looks to have affected his confidence.
An Dearthair Og (IRE) 20-1 (11-4) Always behind, no impression from 3 out, never a factor, 11th of 16, well behind Easy Vic (10-2) at Leopardstown 2m 5f hcp chs 0-109 sft.

MOS: Just a wee little lie -

Childrens heads do not easily dislodge from metal fences.
In fact, they dont budge at all.
Especially the lovely historical metal gates. It seems the more ornate the finials the more dire the trap. Like Chinese handcuffs wrapped around their fragile little necks, the more eager they are to pull their head back out, the tighter the grip seems to be.
And although there is probably a full three days of food scraps in the bottom of my stroller, a helpful stick of butter is rare. Not impossible to scavenge, but rare.
So, there is crying.
Kicking.
Sweating.
And thats just from me.
These are some of the lessons I have learned while pushing a stroller up and down the steep hills of our charming river town. Also, brakes on strollers are not just ornamental. The size of the city block triples when you are going uphill with a double stroller. And, if ever you are out of breath from such endeavors, you can count on the encouragement of a full trolley of onlookers. Be warned, though genuine in their intentions, it feels less than encouraging to have so many strangers clap and wave as you bend over in heat exhaustion.
Im sure your children probably walk right next to your stroller, never dangling their pieces into gutter grates or old stone walls. Im sure they never lay face up under gushing water gutters in the alley or try to straddle chain link fences that secure the neighborhood watchdog. Yours would probably pass at a game of mailbox leapfrog (at least after the first attempt) and would choose to walk right by the cavernous water drains without feeling obligated to toss in a new shoe. Always just one.

An alleged thief scrambled over fences, waded through a river and got hit by a truck as he ran from police for more than an hour.
The Canterbury chase unfolded after a car was randomly stopped in Whitefield St, Kaiapoi and a passenger fled at about 6pm on Friday, police said.
Constable Aden Cawley gave chase as the fugitive ran through properties, climbed over fences and onto the Northern Motorway.
Sergeant Colin Stewart said the alleged thief was ''hit in the leg and spun around by a truck'' but was able to continue running.
Police received calls from the public as he tried to hide in properties in the Sneyd St area.
The man was eventually arrested after police cordoned off the area and sent in a police dog unit to find him.
''The offender was physically exhausted,'' Stewart said.
Cawley was wet up to his waist after running through a river during the chase but had no time to change before attending his next job.
A 23-year-old man appeared in the Christchurch District Court on Saturday. He was wanted for failing to appear in the Nelson District Court on charges of theft, burglary and assault.
The man was bailed to appear again on March 26.

DOMINATION makes his debut over fences but his overall form on the Flat and over hurdles, where he has a total of seven victories, will make him difficult to beat providing he jumps round. Chestnut Charlie won just once over timber but looks as though he may do better over fences after a good run behind Touch Of Eden at Navan. Ludo Et Emergo has been up against serious opposition in his two starts over fences but may need a longer trip than this. Dual hurdles winner Federici was in very good form at the turn of the year but was beaten a long way at Gowran in February.
