Santander considers pulling out of face-to-face advice
by Michelle Abrego on Feb 13, 2013 at 12:18
Santander is considering whether to exit investment advice in a move which could cost around 800 advisers their current roles.
Earlier today New Model Adviser® revealed Santander was being investigated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) following a mystery shopper exercise into its advice.
In December 2012 the bank suspended its advice force as it was not ready for the retail distribution review (RDR).
The 800 advisers were summoned to a meeting in Birmingham today were they were told the bank had put the division under 'strategic review'.
They were told the bank could not be certain it would continue providing face-to-face advice.
Santander said: 'We can no longer be certain with regards timeframes and whether we will definitely continue providing face-to-face advice we have told all staff within the bancassurance division that we are reviewing the strategic options for the business.'
A spokesman said: 'There is never a good time to announce changes such as this and we are acutely aware of the uncertainty staff are facing. We are working closely with other business areas to ensure that many of those who may be impacted are able to secure roles in a growing Santander Group.
'We thank them for their continued professionalism and cooperation. Santander UK will continue to review how and to whom it can provide face-to-face advice, within the new regulatory framework, in a way that benefits and protects customers, our colleagues and indeed Santander itself.'

I've thought for years:
RDR is the enemy of the banks and, potentially, the friend of the IFA.
Why some folk thought the banks would be RDR winners always baffled me.report this
Feb 13, 2013 at 12:57
I suspect the banks will be tempted to follow the post rdr route of offering "non advised" products where it appears you are still permitted to lead customers into investments using the same techniques employed by magicians with playing cards, you still earn commission, and the customer takes all the risk!
Of course, the regulator will step in a few years down the line and fine them anywayreport this

I left working with Santander as a third party resource, last July. I highlighted advice and process issues to the Divisional Manager but he got the hump.
All things come around Mr F!! Ha ha!!report this
Feb 13, 2013 at 13:02
Banks will still come out the winners in the post RDR but not in the way we originally thought.
RDR has made small cases non-viable for IFAs so banks will still push unsuitable products on their 'punters', but there will be no advice process at all and therefore commission still deducted and caveat emptor will apply.
Time to buy bank shares anyone?report this

@ Sweet Revenge.
Glad to see someone with a good attitude on here. Go celebrate, Mr F will be feeling sick!report this
Feb 13, 2013 at 15:24
the head of Bancassurance resigns the night before this report and all advisers given notice. brave man. and he's ex FSA. was this not the same compan who suspend protection sales last year as they could not get them correct.report this
Feb 13, 2013 at 15:57
Not sure that many bank customers will ever 'buy' an investment or pension product from a bank that is not 'advising' them. Clearly these people have not been advised put sold the product previously and so with no one left to sell the products then there will be very very few willing buyers of those products.
The people to feel sorry for are those who have already invested and so will be left high and dry with legact products; no adviser available; and probably an unwillingness to engage with or indeed pay for independent financial advice.
I say all this having worked as an adviser at Abbey National between 1995 - 2003 and one who left voluntarily to become an IFA having seen the light!!!report this
Feb 13, 2013 at 16:17
@ Yaya T W
But leaflets will be stuck in the poor customers hands with a nudge and a wink - this is not advice but that's what I would do if it were my money. As if!report this
Feb 13, 2013 at 16:36
Jonathan, so it was you who sold me that rotten structured 6 year euro linked SCARPS in 2004 was it. The leaflet looked so promising as well. I suppose it is some concilation that you lost your money as well!

If so, let me know what you think of the controls, same as a console or is multitouch no replacement for an Xbox or PS3 controller?
[Rage - $0.99 - iTunes link]
[Rage HD - $1.99 - iTunes link]
There are 5 comments. Add yours.
Has anyone had any success using the iPhone as a controller? I couldn't get it to even come up as an option when I tried.
Is Rage the first game to use 2nd display support? Seems really intriguing but I'm rather average at the game as I get attacked from up close and afar very often to frustration.
Rage HD works also works fine on my 3GS. (Bought this version so I'm prepared for a future change of iPhone ;)
No -- the controls are not the same as a console. Not necessarily bad (though -- personal opinion -- it is in this case), just different. I find:
1) Touch controls are better for turn based games, especially strategy games. Civilization Revolution is an example of game which just plays better on the i(Phone}Pad) than on a console. Yes, the console versions look better, but the iOS version plays better -- selecting units and actions is faster, more immediate, and just plain easier with touch than with using a stick/d-pad to move, than a button to choose, then the stick/d-pad to scroll through options.
2) Physical controls are better for fast paced and twitch games. On the iPhone/iPad, you have the problem of obscuring the game space with fingers, plus you have to devote some of your visual attention to keeping your fingers in the correct area of the screen. (You do not have the first problem when viewing on a TV screen, but the second problem is much, much worse.) On a turn-based game, this is no drawback at all, but in a fast game, the delay on each action ranges from frustrating to fatal. Using a physical controller, you can focus all your visual attention on the gameplay, and your proprioception will keep your fingers on the buttons automatically, letting you do nothing but play.
So, to each his own -- I think using iOS devices as multitouch controllers for console-style action games is a very poor experience, but they absolutely shine for strategy games. I shudder to think how many people will AirPlay Farmville once it becomes possible. :)
Didn't this already have gyro support? Thats what it felt like when I completed the game. Or does this only mean there is more freedom to turn around?

The 2011-12 fiscal year was the Pennsylvania Lottery's most successful in its 41-year history, as the Lottery set new records for annual sales and profits, generating more than $1 billion for programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians.
Do you play the lottery? Tell us in the comments section below.
Fiscal year 2011-12 Lottery sales totaled $3.48 billion, which was $273 million, or 8.5 percent, above the previous year and prior all-time sales record.
Net revenue to the Lottery Fund for fiscal year 2011-12 totaled $1.06 billion, which was $100 million, or 10.4 percent, more than the previous year and $85 million, or 8.7 percent, more than the previous profit record achieved in fiscal year 2005-06.
The Lottery ended fiscal year 2011-12 with more than 9,100 retailers, a record for the modern-era Lottery that simultaneously sells terminal-based products and dozens of instant games. Lottery retailers, many of them family-owned small businesses, earned $183.9 million in commissions in fiscal year 2011-12.
The funds generated by the Pennsylvania Lottery this fiscal year helped support programs that provide services such as Older Adult Protective Services, in-home personal care, free transportation, meals, tax rebates and prescription drug assistance to thousands of older Pennsylvanians.
About the Pennsylvania Lottery: The Pennsylvania Lottery remains the only U.S. lottery that designates all its proceeds to programs that benefit older residents. Since its 1971 inception, the Pennsylvania Lottery has generated more than $22.5 billion for programs including property tax and rent rebates; free transit and reduced-fare shared rides; the low-cost prescription drug programs PACE and PACENET; long-term living services, and the 52 Area Agencies on Aging, including full- and part-time senior centers throughout the state. The Pennsylvania Lottery reminds its players to play responsibly. Players must be 18 or older.

He said Montgomery County is the first COA by a local police department in all of Texas.
In September 2008, the Government Accountability Office issued a 73-page report that raised issues about police drones endangering airspace for small planes or even commercial airliners.
The report's author, Gerald Dillingham, told Local 2 Investigates that 65 percent of the crashes of military drones on the battlefield were caused by mechanical failures.
He said a police UAV could lose its link to the ground controllers if wind knocks the aircraft out of range or the radio frequencies are disrupted.
"If you lose that communication link as the result of that turbulence or for any other reason, then you have an aircraft that is not in control and can in fact crash into something on the ground or another aircraft," said Dillingham.
Pilots of small planes expressed those concerns in the original 2007 Local 2 Investigates reporting on police drones, and the FAA reported then that police departments across the country were lining up to apply for their own drones.
At Montgomery County, Franklin said an onboard GPS system is designed to keep the UAV on target and connected with the ground controllers. He said coordinates are plotted in advance and a command is given for the UAV to fly directly to that spot, adjusting to turbulence and other factors. He said he and the other controller can alter "waypoints" quickly on the laptop to move the chopper to areas that had not previously been mapped out. He said the aircraft moves at a speed of 30 knots, which he said makes it unsuitable for police pursuits.
Small aircraft pilots have expressed concerns that drones cannot practice the "see and avoid" rule that keeps aircraft from colliding in mid-air. Since the camera may be aimed somewhere else, pilots said police controllers may not be able to see and avoid other aircraft in the area during a sudden police emergency.
Gage said he would take every concern into account as his UAV is deployed.
The only routine law enforcement flights inside the United States over the past four years have been the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Their border flights over Texas and Arizona have included one crash, where the drone lost its link to the ground controller.

What Mitt Romney Must Do on Foreign Policy
When Mitt Romney becomes president of the United States, there are several things he needs to do with regards to foreign policy.
Daniel Gallington is the senior policy and program adviser at the George C. Marshall Institute in Arlington, Va. He served in senior national security policy positions in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of Justice, and as general counsel for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Despite how it's being spun, the reason Barack Obama is so overwhelmingly popular with Europeans (he's ahead 90-10 in France) remains because of his "apology tour" just after he took office. And, the reason the Euros like this sort of mea culpa is because—in the natural pecking order of such things—they are far more vulnerable to world economic and political forces than we are. In fact, their attempt at equaling our swag—the European Union—has all but come apart (economically) mainly because of their vastly different cultural work ethics, North to South: Germans are doing what Germans have always done—work really hard—while France, Italy, Spain and Greece, etc., are, well, really enjoying life.
But such is far more esoteric than the twin purposes of this opinion piece: to predict the outcome of our election and suggest what new directions the Euros—and the rest of the world—can expect as a result of it.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 campaign.]
The easy part: Before the midterm election in 2010 I predicted a Romney victory in 2012. This because of a set of fairly basic American voter demographics that the polls can't, won't, or don't measure. The media? Well, they understand the demographics too, but a "toss up" election sells stuff and makes their talking heads seem more relevant, so that's what they have made it out to be.
Recall that Obama was elected in 2008—as would have been any Democrat who was nominated—primarily because Americans were fed up with the seemingly intractable war in Iraq. We were simply not going to elect a Republican because of it. And so, while hard-core Republicans still voted for Sen. John McCain and hard-core Democrats voted for Obama, what tipped the scales were the various categories and numbers of independents voting for Obama.
For an array of different reasons, this dynamic reversed itself well before the 2010 midterm election (which cost the Democrats the House of Representatives) and continues to strengthen. In fact, I believe the election next month will not be very close, certainly not as close as most predictions. Obama, like Carter will leave after one term (and for many of the same reasons).
[See a collection of political cartoons on the European debt crisis.]
So, assuming I'm right, what can we—including the Euros—expect in the way of "new" influences and directions of our foreign and national security policy with Mitt Romney as our president?
First. There is a serious preliminary and internal problem that the Republicans must address, assuming they will be able to identify it though the traditional political smoke of their "transition team"—and the rampant self-promotion that transition teams entail.
The "internal problem"? Republicans must be very careful whom they select for key national security and foreign policy jobs—else they simply set themselves up recreate the Bush 43 team approach on far too many issues. And, to be painfully accurate in this respect, the "Bush 43 approach" had a great deal in common with the "Clinton approach", which had a great deal in common with the "Bush 41 approach." In fact, with the exception of the Iraq War and the withdrawal from the 1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, there had not been many substantive differences between our administrations up to the Obama administration—insofar as national security and foreign policy was concerned—since Ronald Reagan.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Who Won the Obama-Romney Foreign Policy Debate?]
So hopefully, someone senior in the new administration (maybe even Romney himself) will realize the extremely critical requirement for a very "bright line" between where Obama ends and Romney begins. And, this can't be done unless there is some creative "new thinking" (albeit perhaps from some older people) at the beginning of Romney's first term, just as there was at the beginning of Reagan's first term after Jimmy Carter was voted out.
Second. There are several good lists of substantive things that could be done to bring U.S. national security and foreign policy thinking into the strategic realities of the 21st century. And someone, perhaps a senior panel, needs to be looking at these kinds of ideas and assess them for the new administration, while working closely with key leaderships in Congress. Furthermore, and perhaps a "big surprise" here, many of these suggestions are in the eminently "doable" category because they are cost efficient or cost neutral, yet represent major modernizations of our policies.
Third. Our Euro friends (and the rest of the world) need a reminder from time to time that we remain a politically "centrist" country, at least in our own minds. However, in the view of others—especially socialist countries—we are "center-right" or just plain "right" with our national politics. And, both views are probably correct, at least in the "eye of the beholder." Not only that, we are also in the midst of a political "correction," after moving uncomfortably to the left during the Obama administration—again, very similar to what we did after the Carter administration.
[Read the U.S. News Debate: Can Mitt Romney Best Barack Obama on Foreign Policy?]
Fourth. Most Americans are uncomfortable being regarded as a member of the "family of nations" and we haven't been comfortable with this idea since the end of World War II. For example, what is happening in Greece and Spain scares us to death and we never want to be anything like them. In short, most of us understand that we will always have to lead—this because we know that what we have is truly unique in the world and will always be at risk from one threat or another.
In sum, what's going to happen next month is eminently predictable and represents a return to "business as usual" for America's political "comfort zone"—albeit not what the French (and the media) may want to see happen. The French? Well, they still have great food—and they liked Jimmy Carter too. The media? Come on man, they don't know anything.

The 34-year-old from Venezuela was supposed to test today at
Kansas Speedway, leading up to Sunday's race at the track in Kansas
City, Kansas. But bad weather in the area kept her car in the
Duno is moving over from sports car racing. She will be the
third woman in the Indy Car series following Sarah Fisher and
Danica Patrick. All three are scheduled to race Sunday, making that
the first time three women have competed in one race in the series.
This isn't the first time rain has put a kink in Duno's plans to
test at Kansas Speedway. Earlier this month, weather wiped out more

Orange Bowl Defensive Media Day
The Eliot File
D.J. Eliot completed his 14th season of collegiate coaching in 2011 and heads into his third season with the Seminoles in 2012.
Eliot has already made his mark, tutoring the players who have helped return FSU to its place among programs with elite pass rushers. Brandon Jenkins, Bjoern Werner and Cornellius Carradine became one of the top defensive end trios in 2011 combining for 20.5 sacks, 31 tackles for loss, 14 quarterback hurries and nine pass breakups. For the second consecutive season, the Seminoles ranked among the top 10 national leaders in both sacks and tackles for loss. Eliot's defensive ends accounted for 51 percent of the team's sacks and 36 percent of the tackles for loss. FSU allowed its opponents to run for an average of just 2.35 yards per carry, which led the nation. The Seminoles ranked fourth nationally in total defense (275.0), second in rushing defense (82.69), fourth in scoring defense (15.1), eighth in tackles for loss (8.62) and tied for eighth in sacks (3.08 per game).
In his first season at Florida State in 2010, Eliot's defensive ends were one of the most improved units in all of college football. He and defensive tackles coach Odell Haggins put together one of the nation's top defensive fronts. Led by Jenkins - an All-ACC first team selection, the Seminoles tied for the national lead with 48 sacks, ranked third with a 3.4 sacks per game and tied for 11th in total tackles for loss. Jenkins totaled 13.5 sacks and 21.5 tackles for loss to rank among the national leaders in both categories. He also was instrumental in the development of right end Markus White, who doubled his production from his junior to senior year and was a seventh round pick of the Washington Redskins in 2011.
Eliot was a member of the 2008 Rice staff which guided the Owls to a 10-3 record, capped by a Texas Bowl victory over Western Michigan. It was the program's first 10-win season since 1949 and first bowl triumph since the 1950 Cotton Bowl.
He is one of three FSU assistants who spent time on the coaching staff at the University of Miami, where he served as a graduate assistant working with defensive backs and special teams in 2002. Mark Stoops was the Hurricanes' secondary coach while Eliot was with the Hurricanes. Eddie Gran also did a graduate assistant stint at Miami a decade earlier.
Eliot earned his first full-time position at Texas State under David Bailiff, coaching defensive backs one season before a two-year stint with the linebackers. Texas State won the Division I-AA Southland Conference in '05 and qualified for the postseason. Bailiff later hired Eliot to join his staff at Rice.

A high ranking Estero firefighter is officially out of work. She's accused of putting lives in danger and breaking protocol.
It's a story we first brought you Monday, but tonight her lawyer says it's Estero Fire Rescue that's at fault. - Read the original story here
While crews from all over southwest Florida were busy trying to stop a brush fire from jumping I-75 in July, Estero Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Jeannine Horton made a move that cost her a career.
According to an investigative report, Battalion Chief Horton left the scene prior to accounting for all resources, admitting to leaving a San Carlos fire crew stuck in the woods without any support.
This fire is the first of nine examples of Horton's poor judgement listed in the report.
"Accountability - when it comes to a brush fire, structure fire, HAZMAT scene - is of utmost importance," says Estero Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Mark Wahlig.
Wahlig spoke to us Monday, but referred us to an attorney on Tuesday.
We learned that Horton filed a grievance against Estero Fire Rescue on May 17th, followed by a charge of discrimination against Wahlig in July.
"The investigation was launched July 27th. That's the same day is when Estero Fire Rescue is believed to of receive the charge of discrimination," says Horton's attorney Benjamin Yormak.
"Those allegations are allegations at best, they're not true," says Estero Fire Rescue's Attorney Matthew Klein.
Klein says Horton's termination without pay stands.
"Estero Fire Rescue is a very responsible organization, they're concerns about safety and they'll take action when safety is at issue and that's what happened here," says Klein.
"This has been an ongoing pattern of conduct at Estero Fire Rescue and unfortunately, as is often the case with public entities, it's the taxpayers who're going to be left holding the bag," says Yormak.
Horton's allegations against Estero Fire Rescue are being investigated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

A man accused of raping three young children while he babysat them was "ready to go forward" with his preliminary hearing Thursday but the prosecution put the brakes on, arguing that the children shouldn't have to testify in the man's presence.
Jaime Jones, 43, was a truck driver who would make stops in the Shenango Valley to visit relatives. During visits between 2009 and 2011, police say he molested the children.
His last known address was in Oxford, N.C.
William J. Moder, assistant district attorney, asked District Judge Ronald Antos for more time to file a motion with the Mercer County Common Pleas court that would allow at least two of the children, ages 8 and 9, to testify by closed-circuit TV or by deposition.
"The law allows this if the victims are young or if they're intimidated by the court or the defendant," Moder said.
"The court must find that it's appropriate."
Based on statements made by the children to Mercer County Youth services and a video recording with one of the victims at the Lawrence County Child Advocacy Center in New Castle, police charged Jones with six counts each of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with a minor, statutory sexual assault and indecent assault.
One of the children said the assaults happened "every day."
Defense attorney Charles F. Gilchrest, was quick to object to the continuance because they were ready to hear the testimony.
"Due to the nature of the charges, I'm going to overrule this," Antos said.
Antos rescheduled the preliminary hearing for 8:30 a.m. May 30, to give the Common Pleas Court time to rule on the motion.

Police say 32-year-old Jacob Segura of Columbus walked into the Madison Police Department on Jan. 30 and asked for a ride to Columbus.
An officer told Segura that police couldn't provide rides but later tried to arrange a ride for the man through the Madison County and Platte County sheriff's offices.
Meanwhile, Segura went outside to smoke. Police say that's when Segura hopped into a cruiser and took off. He was later found at a rural Creston house.
Because a police shotgun was in the cruiser, Segura was charged with theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Segura is being held on a $250,000 bail. He is set to appear in Madison County District Court on March 19. Case records don't list his attorney.

Marion County authorities are trash talking, saying they're fed up with people dumping trash in creeks and ditches, and with road signs being stolen.
Authorities are tired of people dumping their trash, even leaving their trashcans in a creek bed north of Hillsboro. They're tired enough they want to catch them and make examples out of them.
It's an issue that probably any of Kansas' 105 counties can relate to: trash being put simply where it doesn't belong.
"Trash being dumped in the ditches; couches, chairs, refrigerators, freezers, large tires." Said Randy Crawford, Marion County roads and bridges superintendent.
Marion County covers about 900 square miles. That includes some 1,600 miles of roads. It's too much territory for the eyes of the law to be everywhere, and that's evidently why uncaring people figure they can get away with trashing.
"It's very annoying," said Marion County farmer Cody Penner. "It makes everything look bad around here. It makes it look like we don't even take care of our own stuff."
And while some use signs for target practice, others are walking off with the signs, even pulling up the posts. The concern is what danger this can lead to for drivers.
"If they're not familiar with the county, they're not going to stop," said Marion County Commissioner Dan Holub. "I mean, that's a hazard of the lethal sense."
Commissioner Holub says the county attorney is ready to throw the book at the first person arrested to make the point that they mean business.
"And we do have a reward of $500 leading to the arrest," he said.
If you know who's trashing up Marion County creeks and stealing road signs, Marion County authorities would like to hear from you. You might be in line for a reward.

---- — A Press-Republican series looking at costs for the City of Plattsburgh Police and Fire departments shows that some adjustments could save money.
City firefighters and police officers are deservedly respected in this community. We have observed over the years that members of both departments are professional, well-trained and service-oriented.
But these are challenging times for taxpayers, and even the most accomplished departments have to be assessed for potential savings. So we make these observations:
Firefighter shifts: The city should negotiate a change from 24-hour shifts to 10 or 12 hours. City firefighters say that if a proposal is brought to them, they are willing to negotiate a shift change; they must do that for the sake of the people who pay them.
However, the eight-hour shifts suggested by Mayor Donald Kasprzak won't work. They aren't used by any other paid department in New York state, with good reason. The job is different from others in that workers can't plan tasks to end at an appointed time. The ambulance or fire trucks can be called out 10 minutes before a shift ends, and the responders can't leave the emergency site just because their work day is officially done. That means overtime.
But 10- or 12-hour shifts would stave off some of the overtime and also end the wasteful practice of firefighters being paid to sleep on the night shift. They should be awake and working on duties or projects for the city their whole shift.
Fire Department staffing: City officials have reduced Fire Department personnel from 48 in 2002 to 37 now and want to eliminate the clause requiring a minimum of 36. Oswego has a whopping 66 firefighters; Ogdensburg, 29; and Oneonta, 28.
But 36 firefighters may be as low as it's practically possible to go, because the city must be careful not to compromise safety and also because the union appears dead-set against budging on any layoffs.
Augmenting the force with volunteers is a possibility but can't be used to justify reducing staff. Response time is crucial in any fire but especially in a city, where homes and businesses are nestled closely together. Volunteers can't possibly respond as quickly in all circumstances as paid personnel who are waiting to rush out.
Furthermore, finding volunteers has been an issue regionally for years. Every volunteer department in the North Country has had trouble recruiting and maintaining members as the time and expense for training have increased.
City Police Department: Kasprzak has focused all his attention on the Fire Department in a seven-year war of words with its union. In the meantime, the City Police budget has grown 46 percent from $3,744,780 in 2002 to $6,860,782 last year while staffing has stayed about the same. Overtime costs, staffing, salaries and benefits should be assessed to ensure taxpayers are getting their money's worth.
City officials certainly must look closely at expenses and revenue options in both departments. But we also caution that public safety should outrank money as the priority when it comes to these essential city operations.

Three additional school resource officers are in the plans if Weatherford police officials get the grant funding city council members allowed them to apply for Tuesday night.
Police Chief Mike Manning said the funds, if approved, should be available in September or October. He said the department applied for the same funds last year and was denied, allowing it to reapply this year.
The funding is being offered through a competitive grant program entitled Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS). The funding goes directly to law enforcement agencies to create and keep jobs to increase community policing capability and prevention efforts. Additional consideration is being given to grant requests designated for school resource officers, according to a staff report.
If the funding is approved, three additional entry-level officers are scheduled to be hired and assigned to the schools to assist with programs already in place and allow for better monitoring of campuses.
The three-year grant would be for $375,000 with the city expected to contribute an additional $241,068 in salary and benefits. In addition, the city would fund salaries and benefits for all three officers during the fourth year of service after the grant monies run out.
The city and Weatherford ISD have worked together for several years to provide SROs for district schools. Three officers work the district campuses with each entity paying half of the salary. The WISD has 7.646 students, or a ratio of 2,549-to-1. With the three new SROs, the ratio would be cut to 1,274-to-1.
A sergeant position was cut during the 2010-11 school year and has not yet been replaced.
A staff report said increasing call loads have stretched the officers into more of a reactive rather an proactive approach to issues which is something that needs to be changed.
An increase in family disturbances on campus with officers reporting a high number of fights, assaults, threats and sexting among students accentuates the need for more officers, according to a staff report.
During the past school year, drunk and unruly parents have become an increasing concern for officers, as well.

Mazda 3 Transmission Problems
Thanks for your update on the analyzed data from the recorder, Squiggly. I am sorry to hear that the process is still ongoing for you, even after the data has been analyzed. I hope they find a solution for you soon.
Here's an update on how things are going with my car:
My car went into the shop last week and the dealer was unable to replicate the issue (not surprising considering how intermittent this issue is). The dealership has contacted Mazda Canada, and they have requested that the dealership try rebooting / reinstalling the firmware in the computer of the car and perhaps try some other things as well (not sure what). I am hoping this fixes my car, as today alone I had 2 large RPM jumps (probably 1500 higher than what it should have been) when shifting from 3rd to 2nd. Needless to say, the acceleration was strong and I threw the clutch in pretty quick once it happened. This issue is getting even more stressful now that snow and ice are on the roads where I live.
Squiggly, did your dealership try reinstalling the firmware in the computer in your car at any point?
Thanks again for your continued updates as you progress towards finding a solution to this issue. I will continue to update my progress as well.
There was a firmware update the first time I took the car in I believe.
I am actually on my way to the dealership this am. They have requested I road test the vehicle with them to ensure that what I am experiencing is not normal performance of the car and in hopes to get me to replicate the issue.
I am not sure what part of sporadic and random is not understood. I can't just make it happen or I would have done that 5 months ago! I can't help but feel this is a test to ensure I know how to drive a standard. I could be wrong though. I will keep you posted.
May I ask what province you live in?
Back from the road test with the dealership. It wasn't that bad afterall.
Basically we confirmed that I know how to drive the car, nothing I am doing is causing the issue (or obviously we would have experienced it then) and that the car's normal performance is not what I am referring to.
One step further ahead.....I hope.
Obviously no steps further ahead. I just received this from the dealership,
"We completed extensive testing of the vehicle electrical system this morning and reported all the data to MCI. Engineering has reviewed all the data and the vehicle electrical system is operating normal. We have made every possible effort to duplicate the concern and can not recreate what you describe is happening. There is nothing further that we can do without experiencing the symptom. MCI will no longer cover the rental. I will have your car cleaned and ready in the morning."
Hopefully you all have better luck than I. There is always CAMVAP - Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan.
Yes, you can. I am from Alberta. Yourself?
Wow, I am so sorry to hear that they just dismissed your case like that. It's very unfortunate that Mazda Canada doesn't seem to back their cars even when issues with safety concerns like this arise. It is not fair at all that because the issue is intermittent and it hasn't happened to them yet, that we have to get stuck with faulty cars with safety issues.
It seems pretty clear in some of your earlier posts that you have had quite a few large accelerations after down-shifting. Seeing as Mazda Canada doesn't want to own up to this issue, have you considered involving the media in any way?
Nova Scotia.
The more I looked into CAMVAP, it appeared that I would not be eligible because the complaint was against an alleged deficient part.
I considered the media..... but life is too short (and currently mine is too busy) to be in a constant battle. I have been fighting this for ~6 months. I give up.
I sucked up the negative equity and traded it in for a car that I can feel confident and safe in.
Hope others have better luck. If I can be of any assistance with the info I have collected, by all means, feel free to contact me.
I just wanted to chime in, i read a little bit. I have a 2012 Mazda 3 Skyactive 6 speed doing the same things as well. I have almost hit two people because of the busts of acceleration. The service department blows me off every time. It has 2000 miles on it now. It had 180 and I've been dealing with these issues since day one:
Clunks badly putting it in 1st and from 1st to 2nd.
Sticks in ALL gears pretty bad.
Refuses to go into 1st and 2nd gear as well as reverse intermittently.
Accelerates on its own, sometimes gradually, sometimes in bursts.
I contacted Mazda, they assured me that these are not normal things to be happening and said that they would contact the dealership themselves, so i am taking the car in for the 6th time in 40 days. And refusing to pick it up until the issue is resolved. The 2011 LOANER i had for a couple days was nicer to drive and i didn't have to worry about it driving off on its own.
I certainly hope you have better luck than I did.
My car was with the dealership for 3 weeks (after I dropped it off and refused to get it until it was fixed, replaced or bought back.) We know how that turned out.
I finally told the service manager I traded the car in the day after I picked it up. He was totally shocked and amazed. I am not sure why........ Am I supposed to keep driving a car that randomly accelerates on icy snowy roads and risk my life and/or someone elses. Not a risk I was willing to take, regardless whether Mazda would be the one sued or not!
I am curious to know how it turns out for you. Keep us posted please.
Thought I would add my experience on this matter as I have had the same issue (rpm surge), even well after the 'break in' period (over 5k). I could not replicate the issue for the dealership of course and they did not respond to my last email(s) for a follow up as the issue persisted. The analyst who did take the test drive with me mentioned that there's a 'relay sensor system' with the clutch/ transmission rather than the 'cable' which tells me there's a possible 'lag' in communication happening (my best guess). Keeping that in mind, I've made a point of 'touching the floor' every time I shift (up or down) and have had no problems so far. It would seem there is no 'forgiveness' in the clutch when shifting. It's easy to get a bit 'lazy' on the shift in the daily rush hour commute (especially for us women who wear heels). Anyway, I will continue to be mindful of my shifting and hope this issue is behind me (especially since I otherwise love this car).
Hope this provides some insight for someone else.
mcdawgg Posts: 1,667Very interesting. With the drive-by-wire systems, not disengaging the clutch all the way to the floor could cause the electronics to be confused.
Really, you should be disengaging the clutch all the way to the floor each time, for many reasons.
My wife, when she HAS to drive my stick shift car, will either wear lower heals or change shoes before driving it, so that she can properly use the clutch.
I'd suggest taking off the heels when driving and make sure to depress the clutch to the floor. I'd bet that the problem doesn't occur anymore. Good luck!
Yeah, they use the surprised facade so they don't have to take responsibility.If they think we should be paying for cars that don't work properly brand new, then maybe they should try it. This is what i had to do, i decided to just say screw the service department and their [non-permissible content removed]. I emailed Mazda several times and printed them out and made a formal complaint online and printed out my post here. At this point i didn't even care if it would help. But i decided to go in when service was CLOSED. Well it worked. The guy who i talked with was like OH HELL NO this is a safety issue, i cant believe this! He put me in a brand new one over night. DROVE LIKE A DREAM. I brought it back, made the tech drive mine AND the new one and reluctantly, after previously telling me he had driven my car several times and that basically i was being a picky brat, agreed, that the car had a problem. So Mazda FINALLY after 2 months agreed to give me a new transmission. But it took that comparison for anyone to listen. I feel like i know more than the service department does. I cried when they finally said they'd fix it. So relieved.
Side note. The acceleration issue. After basically making me feel like i was a liar and i was an unknowing unintelligent girl, he finally chimed in saying oh yeah the acceleration is a broken SENSOR. That was after he found out he had to do my transmission. Before he was like HUH thats weird. Are you sure? IDIOTS.
Thanks for the replies. I unfortunately am still occasionally experiencing the surge (actually happens on the shift up as well). I will take this thread into my dealer (service & mgt) and get a resolution (whether from them or Mazda Canada).
Thanks again to all for your post(s).
Yeah mine happened on both as well, and it was usually in low gears like 2-4 not normally 5-6th. I would recommend trying to document when and why it happens, either way its a safety thing, just like a car not going into gear would be. If they have to ship the dealer a little black box then i would fight for that. Or i would ask to drive a new one for a couple days to see if it does it in that one. DONT GIVE UP. If you don't go away they'll have to do something. No one complains about a new car multiple times without a problem!

A lice-removal business has opened in a Concord after receiving being treated like a pest in Martinez.
Pamela Gay and Sofia Deleuse have opened Comb It Out in an obscure corner of the Clayton Center on Clayton Road, the Contra Costa Times reported.
In Martinez last spring, the City Council agreed that city rules had not been followed in approving the business on Main Street. Other businesses — concerned about image — had hired a law firm to make that case to the council.
Lice are particularly active in the winter months.

Gun prohibition is the perfect way to create violent gun gangs who terrorize America.
I hope the New Year can bring peace in families. To love each other and not forsake anyone person. To take time to know each other, not just special ones. Everyone matters in a family.
It is a shame when a school is ready to start a varsity sports event and not only don't they have an American flag posted anywhere, but they have no music or singer. Facing a blank wall does not count.
Please don't ban the sale and possession of assault rifles. I now want to go out and buy my first ever rifle to protect my family and myself if someone shows up at my house to blow us away.
It's not the video games, violent movies or music. It's a lack of love and human interaction that makes people want to shoot others. Let's look at the individuals and find out exactly what's lacking.
Why do you think that a ban in assault rifles will lower gun violence? The 1994 ban increased violence; go online and look at facts. What makes you think it will be any different?
Basketball officials, I know your job is tough, but please treat the mod teams the same as the older kids. They need to learn about traveling, reaching and moving picks. Games are out of control.
I love Speakout. I wish it was published daily. What an original and amazing idea. Thanks, PR.
Stricter gun laws are only part of the solution. We need to start taking mental-health care seriously. We are lacking services (inpatient and outpatient). Government and insurance companies need to pony up cash to be sure there is help available.
