Emaciated Horses Taken From South Florida Owner

Associated Press Release

SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities in South Florida have confiscated two emaciated horses from an owner who said he could no longer care for them.

The Broward Sheriff's Office reports that deputies responded Monday following tips from concerned citizens in Southwest Ranches. The horses were turned over to a non-profit group called Peaceful Ridge Rescue.

Detectives are investigating, but no charges were immediately reported.

Peaceful Ridge Rescue employees named the horses -- a thoroughbred mare and a gelding pony -- Lucky and Tess.

Dealers rank BMW, Mercedes and Ford captive ... - Automotive News

Auto dealers ranked BMW Group Financial Services tops for leasing and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services best for floorplanning in J.D. Power's annual financing satisfaction study released today.

Among lenders for mass-market brands, dealers were most satisfied with Ford Motor Credit Co. J.D. Power doesn't name an overall winner.

The 2013 U.S. Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study looked at dealer satisfaction with lenders in four areas: prime retail credit, subprime retail credit, retail leasing and floorplanning. The subprime retail credit category, while included in the study, is not eligible for an award.

Dealer satisfaction increased in all areas, aided by higher satisfaction with products offerings, J.D. Power said. Overall dealer satisfaction with prime retail credit lenders is 890 out of a possible 1,000 points, and retail leasing satisfaction is 896 points. Both categories were up 5 points from 2012. Floorplanning satisfaction increased the most among the three eligible financing categories, rising 11 points to 924.

Alphera Financial Services is No. 1 in the prime retail credit category, with a score of 970 points. Alphera is the BMW Group Financial Services unit that serves BMW dealers for brands other than BMW. BMW Financial Services, which serves the BMW brand, was No. 2 with a dealer satisfaction score of 965.

Mercedes-Benz Financial Services is No. 3 in the category at 953. Ford Credit is No. 4 at 935.

In the dealers' cellar for prime retail credit is Santander Auto Finance, in last place at 796. Also near the bottom are Credit Union Direct Lending, Kia Motors Finance, GM Financial Services and Hyundai Motor Finance.

In the retail leasing category, the top brands looked nearly identical to prime-risk lending. BMW Financial Services is No. 1 with a score of 958. Mercedes-Benz Financial Services is No. 2 at 954, and Ford Credit is No. 3 at 929. U.S. Bank is at the bottom, at 806.

For floorplanning, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services is No. 1 at 971. BMW Financial Services is No. 2 at 966, and Ford Credit is No. 3 at 948. Volkswagen Credit ranks last at 830.

Other lenders were included in the survey in various categories but not ranked due to small sample size, J.D. Power says.

John McCain says surge of enforcement agents is unnecessary to secure border

The surge of 20,000 new enforcement agents that would be deployed as part of the Senate immigration bill that passed earlier this year is unnecessary to secure the border, Arizona Sen. John McCain, one of the lead Republicans on the bipartisan immigration task force that co-authored the bill, said Tuesday.

Speaking at a forum sponsored by the AFL-CIO in Washington, D.C., McCain said he voted for the bill that included the provision of additional agents so that those skeptical about the bill?s effectiveness ?would have comfort? that the border would be secured.

?I?ll give you a little straight talk. We don?t need 20,000 additional border enforcement agents,? McCain said at the union forum, where he joined California Democratic Rep. Xavier Becerra. ?But what we do need is to use the technology that has been developed where we can surveil the border more effectively."

The Senate bill would effectively double the number of border agents and increase funding for enforcement. The bill passed the Senate in June with bipartisan support, and lawmakers are currently debating a version of immigration reform in the Republican-majority House.

At issue in the lower chamber is whether immigration reform should be handled comprehensively, as it was in the Senate, or in a piecemeal approach that separates border security from a plan that offers a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the United States illegally. President Barack Obama, Senate Democrats and some Republicans have said they will not support a bill that does not include a pathway to legality.

The debate in the House over immigration reform includes a vocal minority of conservative members who say they will refuse to support any bill that allows unauthorized immigrants to achieve legal status without first returning to their home country.

Last week, House Speaker John Boehner rebuked comments about immigrants from Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King, who caused an uproar when he said that many children of illegal immigrants grow up to be drug smugglers. "For every one who is a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there that weigh 130 pounds, and they have calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert,? King said.

McCain also condemned King?s comments at the forum, calling them ?despicable,? and he predicted that the House would pass a bill that includes a pathway to legality.

?I believe that at the end of the day, we?re going to do the right thing. We?re not going to talk about people with cantaloupe calves,? McCain said. ?We?re not going to engage that kind of despicable rhetoric.?

NKorea threatens to put troops at factory park

? North Korea on Thursday threatened to re-station troops at a stalled inter-Korean factory park located just across the tense border separating the two Koreas, as minor scuffles reportedly broke out between delegates from the rivals after failed talks meant to restart the complex.

Pyongyang has warned Seoul before that it would bring back the military units that were stationed at the North Korean border city of Kaesong before the factory park was set up there in 2004 during a previous period of detente between the rivals.

Analysts said the latest threat was an effort to pressure Seoul to agree to a quick reopening of the industrial complex, which provided badly needed hard currency to Pyongyang. The complex was shut in April amid dueling threats of war following U.N. sanctions against North Korea's February nuclear test.

The talks Thursday, the sixth round of meetings this month, came as North Korea held ceremonies ahead of Saturday's 60th anniversary of the Korean War's end. The Korean Peninsula is still technically in a state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended in a cease-fire, not a peace treaty.

Pool reports from South Korean media stationed outside the closed-door meeting at Kaesong between the Koreas said frustrated North Koreans issued the warning directly to South Korean reporters after the talks ended without a breakthrough. The reports said that brief scuffles erupted as Seoul officials tried to stop North Koreans from talking to journalists.

The pool reports said the North Korean delegates also distributed documents about speeches and proposals they made during the talks with South Korea. South Korean officials tried to retrieve the documents from South Korean reporters, triggering protests from the reporters, the reports said.

South Korean officials took the North Korean delegates out of the room, and a North Korean delegate insulted South Korean officials, reportedly calling them bums and gangsters. Chief North Korean delegate Pak Chol Su told reporters that North Korea made "sincere efforts" to resume operations at the complex, according to the pool reports.

Later Thursday, South Korean Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Hyung-suk told reporters that Seoul would "make a grave decision" if North Korea doesn't provide a guarantee that it won't engineer future unilateral Kaesong shutdowns. He didn't elaborate, but said he believes Kaesong's fate is now at a "serious crossroads" after the end of Thursday's talks.

Chief South Korean delegate Kim Kiwoong told reporters that there were big differences between the Koreas on the matter of Seoul's desire for the guarantee.

Associated Press writer Elizabeth Shim contributed to this report.
