Pembrokeshire County Council 'will look to claw back' any funds unaccounted for from controversial property grants scheme
5:46pm Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in Milford Mercury news
PEMBROKESHIRE County Council will look to claim back "any money unaccounted for" if errors have been made in the administration of property grants in Pembroke and Pembroke Dock.
At an extraordinary audit committee meeting on Monday (January 20), the council's director of development, Dr Steven Jones, told members his understanding of the schemes was "limited" to his role as lead director and it was difficult for him to "give a personal guarantee that every single penny of money spent has been accounted for".
He added: "I'm clear that if there is an error we will look at that immediately, to claim back any money unaccounted for and move on with any other opportunities we have to bring grant money into the area."
Concerns have been raised by some members about the Town Heritage Initiative (THI) and Commercial Property Grant Schemes (CPGS) in Pembroke and Pembroke Dock.
The two THI schemes in Pembroke Dock and Haverfordwest – costing nearly £18m in total - are funded primarily by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and support the regeneration of buildings in a conservation area or with a grade II or higher listing.
The £1.47m Commercial Property Grant Scheme (CPGS) is a part of a larger Pembroke and Pembroke Dock regeneration project and is mainly funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The first six items on the audit committee meeting agenda – which included background papers, an overview of the two grant schemes and a discussion of five properties in the scheme - were open to the public.
The meeting was then adjourned for a site visit to properties in Pembroke Dock which included Coronation School, 16/19, Commercial Row, and 25, 27 and 29 Dimond Street.
On their return the committee voted in favour of excluding the public and press to discuss the funding arrangements for each property as it would involve confidential information.
That discussion was due to involve a discussion of Councillor Mike Stoddart's submissions to the council. This includes a five-page document outlining his "grave concerns about the probity" of the schemes, which questioned grant payments and whether some of the work was carried out.
Previous reports by council officers have stated the HLF was "content" and full audits were carried out by the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO), the Wales Audit Office (WAO), the Welsh Government European Funds Audit Team and the European Commission.
But any site visits were carried out while projects were still in progress, Monday's meeting heard.
The findings of an internal audit also concluded that "adequate and effective compliance arrangements" were in place and "complied with".
Audit committee chairman John Evans said the meeting was likely to be adjourned for members to "absorb" all of the information which will be available over the coming weeks.
"Openness and transparency is a priority for us," he added.

So the council will investigate that unaccounted for penny, wonder If they'll investigate the odd £10k unaccounted for - I bet they'll not investigate allegations of being over charged - it certainly looks like they've been overcharged from some of the stories I've seen on this web site

To be serious one has to look closely at the words in the press release - unaccounted funds and administration - It appears to suggest a proper audit - it does NOT, It just means they're making sure the paperwork matches up - NOT looking into how contracts were given, preferred suppliers or IF the cheapest quotes were picked - so another useless PR excercise :((

News by Dan Seifert on Friday June 01, 2012.
|Sponsored links, if any, appear in green.
ETSI, a telecommunication standards organization, has announced that the standard for the new nano-SIM card was ratified in Japan today. The new nano-SIM card is forty percent smaller than the micro-SIM card seen in a number of smartphones and tablets today, and will be used by device manufacturers and carriers across the world.
The proposal for the nano-SIM card has had quite a bit of drama surrounding it, with companies like Nokia, Apple, RIM, and Motorola all submitting competing designs for the new card. Nokia, RIM, and Motorola all felt their designs were superior because they did not require a tray to hold the card in place, while Apple contended that its design was backwards compatible with the existing micro-SIM standard through the use of adapters. A revised version of the design proposed by RIM, Motorola, and Nokia offered better backwards compatibility and included a notch to secure the card in place, not unlike how a microSD card is held in its slot.
It is not exactly clear which design ended up winning in the end, but ETSI says that the nano-SIM (also known as the fourth form factor, or 4FF) measures a scant 12.3mm x 8.8mm x 0.67mm and can be "packaged and distributed in a way that is backwards compatible with existing SIM card designs." The nano-SIM offers all of the same functionality as the older, larger SIM card designs.
The new card design should allow manufacturers to produce slimmer and smaller phones, but it may be a while before the nano-SIM sees a wide adoption among manufacturers and carriers. The outgoing micro-SIM has only recently begun to be used by most manufacturers, with Apple being the first major device maker to adopt it back in 2010 with the iPhone 4.source: ETSI

Strada's pizza bases pass the thin and crispy test. The toppings are fresh, the flavours authentic and the price is right – such things matter to the foodies who will eat here, but won't consider other high-street chains. However, superior wood-fired pizzas aren't all Strada has going for it: readers also praise 'accommodating' service that achieves a fine balance between 'unhurried and speedy', plus clean, contemporary surrounds that are appealing enough for business or pleasure. There are clearly some serious Italophiles making the decisions at Strada, and this filters through to menus that embrace less-predictable options of stuffed and breaded olive ascolana, Sardinian fregola and clam soup, black tagliolini with crab, and nougat semifreddo 'affogato'. Italian wines, with lots around a fiver a glass, are a bonus.

(CNS) Authorities today released the names of a university public safety officer and his college basketball coach fiancee, who were found shot to death in his car in the parking structure of the Irvine building where they lived.
Police received a call at 9:10 p.m. Sunday about a person slumped over in a parked car at 2100 Scholarship and went to investigate, Irvine police Lt. Julia Engen said.
Keith Lawrence, 27, and Monica Quan, 28, were found dead in his Kia, which was parked at the top of the five-story parking structure, Engen said. "Their deaths are being investigated at a double homicide,'' she said. "There is no suspect information at this time.''
There's no evidence they were being robbed, Engen said. The parking structure and high-density residential community is highly secure with key-card access only, she said.
Irvine had two slayings last year and the year before that, according to Engen, who said overall violent crime is at "historic lows'' in the city. Quan was an assistant coach for the Cal State Fullerton women's basketball team, and before that was an assistant coach at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks.
"She was one of those great individuals that when they're in your life, your life is better,'' said California Lutheran women's basketball head coach Roy Dow. "She had a great passion for basketball.'' Dow recalled how he would get calls from Quan when she was away from work about a unique play she saw during a game on TV or to tell him a documentary was being aired about the University of Connecticut women's basketball team.
Quan's father told Dow recently about how she was so intent on watching a game that when she went out to dribble the basketball during commercial breaks, "she'd watch the TV through the screen door.''
Quan rooted for the Lakers, but was a big Michael Jordan fan and had an "incredible collection of Nike sneakers,'' Dow said.
When they would take recruits around campus, Dow would stay on the campus sidewalks because Quan "was absolutely loathe to walk on the grass and get her sneakers dirty,'' the coach recalled. He said Quan called him about a week ago to tell him about her engagement to Lawrence. "She was a very private person, and she told me she didn't want me to hear it through the grapevine,'' Dow said.
The couple met while at Concordia University in Irvine, where they both played basketball, Dow said. Lawrence was seeking a career in law enforcement, which made him a good match for Quan, whose father was an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, Dow said.
He said it was Quan who recruited the current seniors on the California Lutheran team. "I don't know what we're going to tell them,'' Dow said of the team. "We'll allow everyone an opportunity to express their grief. But we're certainly going forward. We're going to find our way to grieve and celebrate her life.''
Lawrence, who graduated from the Ventura County Sheriff's Academy, was working as a patrol officer at USC's Department of Public Safety. He joined the department in August, said USC spokesman Carl Marziali.
John Thomas, the chief of USC's Department of Public Safety, issued a statement to his officers today, calling the murders "senseless'' and asking for their "thoughts and prayers'' for the victims' families and friends.
"During his brief tenure of service here at USC, Officer Lawrence proved to be an honorable, compassionate and professional member of our department and the Trojan family,'' Thomas said. "We are a better department and the USC campus community is a safer place as a result of his service.''
Mildred Garcia, Cal State Fullerton's president, characterized the deaths as "tragic and heart-wrenching.''
Quan was in her second season working under Coach Marcia Foster, who said, "There really are no words to convey the sadness we feel at the loss, those of us who have had the privilege of working with her. We had just shared a moment of incredible joy with Monica after her recent engagement.''
Foster added, "A really bright light was put out way too soon. Someone whose passion was impacting young women with the game of basketball. As an assistant, she was someone I counted on to tell me the truth. I loved that about her - I loved her work ethic and her passion for life. We've got some work to do; we've got to do something to stop this violence. Too many women are being impacted by it.''
Cal State Fullerton Athletic Director Jim Donovan said, "We were very shocked and saddened to learn what's happened to Monica. She was a second-year coach for us and a very special person.''
Quan, a star athlete at Walnut High School, played basketball at Cal State Long Beach from 2003-05 before transferring to Concordia University in Irvine, where she graduated in 2007 with a degree in exercise and sports science. In 2009, she earned a master's degree.

|John Cleary, M.D., observed that some alcoholics spontaneously stopped drinking in association with taking niacin supplements. Cleary concluded that alcoholism might be a manifestation of niacin deficiency in some people and recommended that alcoholics consider supplementation with 500mg of niacin per day. His research suggests that niacin supplementation may help wean some alcoholics away from alcohol. Niacinamide or inositol hexaniacinate, safer forms of the same vitamin, might have similar actions.
|In rare cases, niacin has aggravated peptic ulceration.
|There is some evidence that the use of niacin improves growth hormone release from the pituitary gland.
|Vitamins B3 and B6, as well as calcium and magnesium support the production of melatonin.
|Probably the best form of vitamin B3 to use for the purpose of cholesterol reduction is inositol hexoniacinate (flush-free niacin). It is often given at 500mg tid for two weeks, then increased to 1,000mg tid. If using regular niacin, start out with 100mg tid working up to 1,000mg tid with meals.
Niacinamide is not effective for lowering cholesterol. Niacin may also be helpful by transforming small unprotective HDL particles into larger ones which do offer a protective effect to the cardiovascular system.
|In a study of people with high cholesterol, niacin not only reduced LDL and triglycerides by 17% and 18% respectively, but it also increased HDL by 16%.
|Niacin (100mg daily) stimulates brain function and promotes blood flow by opening the arteries and veins, an action which usually causes a harmless flush.
|Since pellegra can mimic the symptoms of schizophrenia, the use of niacin to treat schizophrenia and depression is controversial. Some report improvements using mega vitamin therapy, while others obtain little or no results. The American Psychological Association disapproved the use of niacin to treat mental disorders in 1979, and has not changed its mind since.
|74 consecutive Bell's palsy patients were treated with niacin at a dose of 100-250mg with "excellent results" noted in all patients within 2 to 4 weeks. [Arch Otolaryngol 68: pp.28-32, 1958]
|Although niacin increases low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which frequently accompanies diabetes, past guidelines did not recommend the use of niacin in patients with diabetes because of concerns about adverse effects on glycemic control; however, this was based on limited clinical data. A 2000 study suggests that lipid-modifying dosages of niacin can be safely used in patients with diabetes and that niacin therapy may be considered as an alternative to statin drugs or fibrates for patients with diabetes in whom these agents are not tolerated or fail to sufficiently correct hypertriglyceridemia or low HDL-C levels. [JAMA. 2000;284: pp.1263-1270]
|Large doses of niacin may further increase the already elevated liver enzymes usually seen in hepatitis.
|Niacin (and possibly flush-free niacin) at 100mg every 2 to 3 hours in acute cases has been used.

A Tulsa man is behind bars, arrested in connection with several recent armed robberies.
Police arrested Billy Butler, 27, after serving a warrant at a home on Wednesday.
According to a police report, Butler admitted to robbing the Fiesta Mart at 1507 S. Harvard on July 17th and a Church's Chicken at 2555 E. Pine St. on July 21st.
He also admitted to firing a gun at a Fiesta Mart employee on July 19th. The worker was not injured.
Butler got away with cash and cigarettes in the first Fiesta Mart robbery, and cash from Church's Chicken, police said.
Police recovered evidence from the robberies at the home on S. Lewis that Butler was arrested at, including the gun he admitted to using in the incidents.
Butler told police he had been released from prison this year.
He was arrested on two counts of robbery with a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon and felon in possession of a firearm. He is jailed on a $230,000 bond.

The next villain: Del Toro?
I hope not.
I don't know, he was on my short list for actors who could be tasked to play Khan.
Will he wear Romulan boots?
I hope you're right. I'd much rather Klingons. Khan should be left alone.
I guess with his looks he would seem most open to Khan....................but it could be another character.
I dunno, somedays I have to think of the whole Khan thing from the other angle of (even though I'm sorta against it myself) why not? I mean, the Nolan Batman films have reused major characters and villains from all the films that have been seen before (Harvey Dent, The Joker, Catwoman etc) more than once in some cases. Various incarnations of Superman have reused Lex Luthor (as did the TV series) and now the upcoming Superman film will reuse General Zod again. All versions of Sherlock Holmes end up using Moriarty as well. They don't all get used exactly as they have in earlier uses, but they still get used. Because they are highly associated with the main characters of each respective character.
All to varying degrees.
Some days I do have to step back and wonder whether 'banning' the use of a character in a reboot makes any sense. If I'm gonna be fine with Klingons, what's the deal with Khan. I suppose that could be extended to concepts like TT as well. Putting their own spin on Khan may fail hugely..............or it might work depending on how they reinvent him for the film. If he's in it.
I'm mentally rambling - ignore.
I see two problems with Khan. First, TWOK is the benchmark, i.e. any movie involving Khan will be automatically compared with TWOK. Second, Khan's story is of a closed nature.
In contrast there are e.g. the Klingons Omegaman mentioned, all come-and-go characters with open-ended story-telling possibilities.
Of course this does not have to be a problem if they rewrite the story like in the case of Pike, if the first contact between Kirk and Khan runs differently or if somebody else discoveres the Botany Bay. I nonethless think that choosing a TOS character who is not part of a story already told until the end might be a better choice. All the thrill of Space Seed would be gone, you'd know that Khan is the baddie.
What I always enjoyed was Trek inspired by Khan and the eugenic background, the truthfulness to ideas instead of characters.

MCMINN COUNTY, TN (Times Free Press) -- Two McMinn County grand jurors in 2010 complained to an investigator that the jury foreman and an assistant district attorney tried to influence their votes in a politically fraught case, records show.The grand jury in July of that year voted not to indict sheriff candidate Joe Guy for campaign finance violations. Guy went on to win the election and is now McMinn County sheriff.Later, two grand jurors told an investigator they felt improper influence was brought to bear in the jury room by foreman Joel Riley and Paul Rush, assistant district attorney in the 10th Judicial District.No action was taken, records show. None of the other 10 grand jurors who sat on the case was interviewed, and the investigation was closed.Read more from our news partners at the Times Free Press.

Machine Head (1972.), Deep Purple's sixth studio album
Deep Purple are one of the all time great classic rock acts, and sadly probably one of the most underrated. After a relatively obscure start, producing 3 albums in the late 1960's which were good but sadly commercial failures, the band changed its line up. From here, the classic MK2 line-up of Ian Gillan (vocals), Richie Blackmore (lead guitar), Roger Glover (bass), John Lord (keyboards) and Ian Paice (drums) strung together a number of great albums. The first was 'In Rock', a bit raw but a masterpiece none the less and the second was 1971's 'Fireball', a bit experimental but thoroughly classic Deep Purple. Following this, the band went to Montreux in Switzerland (for tax exemption purposes) to cut their next studio album. However, tragedy struck when the band's proposed recording spot burnt down in a Frank Zappa show. Undeterred however, the band set up a place to record in the Grand Hotel at Montreux and put together the songs that would make up the 'Machine Head' album. Since then, 'Machine Head' has grown to be Deep Purple's most praised and popular album. This afterall is the album which features 'THE riff' in 'Smoke On The Water'. So how good does this album turn out to be?
Deep Purple's 'Machine Head' deserves all of the respect it gets, it is a masterpiece of an album. Eventhough this is not my favourite Deep Purple album ('Fireball' pips it at the post IMO) there is no denying that this album features the band at their technical best and their most fluent. The quality of this album is all the more remarkable given that the band had to record the whole thing in a Hotel corridor and to pull off a near perfect album speaks volumes for the band's ability. Since the album's release, it has gone on to be remebered most of all as the work that features 'Smoke On The Water', the song with perhaps the most famous riff of all time, known even to those who aren't into rock. However, in many ways this is an unfair reflection on the album as all 7 tracks are great. I think personally that 'Smoke On The Water' is matched by songs like 'Lazy' and is probably bettered by 'Highway Star' and 'Space Truckin'. The album is THAT good! The album is catchy, without being inherantly commercial. Indeed there is plenty of complex stuff on here; the riffing is fast and inspired at times and the keyboard blended sound is something special. All of the band give stellar performances. Ian Gillan's vocals have their usual unique style to them and he gives a diverse performance. Richie Blackmore's riffing is great and his solos are effortlessly executed in style. Roger Glover's strong bass play adds that extra heaviness to the music and John Lord's nifty work on the Hammond organ gives the unique Deep Purple sound. Ian Paice's drumming is fast, complex and rhythm perfect; he is definitely the most UNDERRATED drummer of all time and is up there with the best. All in all, 'Machine Head' features the band at their peak producing timeless hard rock songs that have become influences for plenty of bands to follow – and at the same time the music has that uplifting 'good time' feel to it!
Currently you can obtain the 'Machine Head' album in two versions. The first is the standard album remaster featuring the original remaster. No fuss there, your getting a classic album anyway. However, if you want to pay out the extra cash, get the anniversary edition which features a complete new sounding master of the album, with extended sections to the songs and a bonus out-take track in 'When A Blind Man Cries' which is a bluesy styled, slow track which develops into a heartfelt performance from the band.
The 'Machine Head' juggernaut kicks off with one of the band's great songs. 'Highway Star' is a fast paced rocker with a very metal sound to it … trust me, my friends, speed metal has its roots in songs like this! Gillan aggressively flies though the vocals like a man possessed alongside plenty of racing guitar sections from Blackmore. This is the way to start an album! 'Maybe I'm A leo' follows, a great song although it's the weakest on this very high standard album. The riffing again is great and inspired. 'Pictures Of Home' is another brisk rocking song, with Gillan singing on a theme of longing for your homelands. Next is one of the more catchy songs on the album in 'Never Before'. The band really thought this would be their biggest hit off the album and released it as a single. Obviously it became overshadowed. Its a brilliant song though, with a funky keyboard solo from Lord with some creative drumming. Again the riff is timeless.
The second half opens up with the famous track on the album. What a riff Richie Blackmore stumbled on here; 'Smoke On The Water' is deservedly famous; its an awesome song. The lyrics are based on the theme of the fire at the Frank Zappa show and Gillan executes them fantastically. Blackmore jams out another great solo and Lord's keyboard undertones are inspired throughout, as they are also in the next track 'Lazy'. This 7 minute masterpiece is the most underrated song on the album. Another dramatised keyboard opener sets the tone for a classy track which is a real driving song. Gillans laid back vocals with harmonica alongside make this track a great one. Richie Blackmore's guitar sections are the ultimate technical perfection on this song. Finally though, we come to 'Space Truckin". This is my favourite track on the album. The song has so much energy and fire. The grinding descending riff with bass is awesome and Gillan's growling vocals, with lyrics about completely random things such as 'Music In The Solar System' make this one a classic. Especially great is the instrumental section on the song where Ian Paice plays a mind-blowing drum solo; I'll say it again, he is the most underrated drummer of all time. What a song!
'Machine Head' is a landmark album. Deep Purple completely refined their hard rocking, keyboard driven sound to come up with a collection of songs that really deliver. Best of all, the album is always enjoyable to listen to and you never get bored of the songs. Although it's not my favourite DP album, it is many ways, their most perfected work and shows the band at their peak. For any newbie to the band, get this album as it is a perfect introduction. Deep Purple are one of the most underrated bands of all time and they deserve much more respect than they get. Amazingly enough, this band are still together after 37 years (now into their 8th line-up) and are still producing great music (just look at their recent 'Rapture Of The Deep' album). Deep Purple are one of the greats and their music is influential, timeless and unbelievably memorable.

Bree: Cape Town's hippest street
What's fast becoming known as the hippest street in Cape Town, Bree Street is where you will find a hive of artisan activity. And if you're a food lover, there's plenty to sample here too, from burgers to gourmet pizza, craft beer and cupcakes. As one of the main arteries of the city, this street is building a reputation as the retail, culinary and design centre of the city. Here is a list of just a few of the gems:

After three years in the making, Trinity in Green Point has opened its doors to the public. Now that these Bennett Street doors open, they certainly won't be closing – not until 04h00 every night of the week, that is. I attended the launch party last week and can't remember when I last saw so many partygoers out on Wednesday night. Every nook and cranny of the club was teeming with beautiful people.
Cast your vote for Table Mountain
Photo courtesy Damien du Toit With Cape Town in the global spotlight after the World Cup, what better way to celebrate than to have Table Mountain named a New7Wonder of Nature? Many visitors who pour through our city have heard of Table Mountain before their arrival, but seeing it firsthand keeps the Mother City firmly planted in their hearts. While Capetonians might take our surrounds for granted at times, it is the mountain that grounds us and keeps nature tangibly part of everyday life in the city.

While summer feels like it is well and truly here, there are still rumours of a slight chill expected before the official arrival of summer in November. What then is one to do with October? One could call it the brief and fleeting spring season; where the itch to remove the winter layers and revel in the sun is equally matched by the need to cuddle up by the fire during bouts of rain and wind.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A man fleeing from a highway traffic stop, leads state troopers to Youngstown's West Side.
Shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, a state trooper clocked 31-year-old Jerry Burton Junior driving a car at 110 miles an hour southbound on I-680.
The trooper tried to pull Burton over with light's and sirens, but he kept going, getting off at Meridian Road and then onto Mahoning Avenue.
Burton finally stopped at Schenley Avenue and tried to flee on foot, but troopers quickly caught him.
"If he had complied on 680, he would have received a traffic ticket for the speed, not having a valid driver's license and the valid passenger with the license would have been able to take the vehicle. Instead, he's going away in handcuffs." said trooper Nakia Hendrix.
Burton is charged with speeding, operating a vehicle without a license, and a felony charge of fleeing and eluding. Lieutenant Hendrix says the car was a rental from Iowa and Burton's passenger had been the one who rented it

Thanks for the Great Review. I appreciate your interest and support. I'm sorry we didn't have time for deeper discussions, but I was up to my ears and rushing off to Arizona.
One minor misunderstanding. You'd asked me about Global Warming and noted that I was a disbeliever. I simply said, "That's a topic for another novel." It is not part of "Soft Target."
What I did not say was: "And this book has already been written." That would be Dr. Michael Crichton's excellent 2004 novel "State of Fear." I highly recommend his book. If you buy the Kindle version you'll also get some of his science papers.
In addition to his best-selling Thrillers, Crichton was also an MD and a PhD. The truth is that, like Dr. Crichton, I'm a "skeptic" about Climate Alarmism of the Al Gore sort -- with the drowning bears, rising seas, and all.
It's warmer now than 100 years ago and (much) cooler than 1,000 years ago. Global temperatures have been flat for the last 15 years.
It's better to term me a "Climate Alarmism Skeptic." I believe in BOTH global warming and cooling, but perhaps not so much in Washington's (both parties!) agendas.

Of all the many comments, pro and con, that have been made about the widespread attempts to weaken American unions, none have been clearer or more on the mark than the words of President Bob King of the United Auto Workers Union.
King, of course, is on the union side of the argument. But as King made very clear, that's the side to be on if you believe working people should have full collective bargaining rights and the decent wages, hours and working conditions that result from fair bargaining.
King's comments came in an exceptional column in the latest issue of Solidarity, the UAW's official magazine. The column is titled, simply, "Do Justice."
To Bob King, "doing justice does not mean trying to reduce the wages, benefits and standard of living of all workers in America," as far too many Republican politicians at all levels of government are trying to accomplish, with their main target – for now – public employees.
"Doing justice to me," said King, "means that everyone has an equal opportunity, and if they make the individual decision to work hard and live by the rules, then they will be able to live a middle-class standard of living and retire with dignity and maintain their middle-class standard of living."
I know, and you know, that can't happen if working people are denied the essential right to unionization – the essential right to a strong bargaining voice in determining their pay and benefits through their unions. That's obvious, for unionization is the main reason for the rise of an American middle class, beginning with the granting of union rights to most workers by federal law in the 1930s.
But as Bob King warned, those rights and the middle class they established are under serious attack by anti-union politicians and others who "preach the vision of scarcity, the vision of division and the vision of fear."
Ours is a country gifted with great abundance, with plenty to give each of us a fair share. But union opponents preaching "the vision of scarcity" deny that. They act as if there's not enough in this, the world's richest country, to give a fair share to all.
Yet there is enough to go around, as we should know, and unions are the primary vehicles for guaranteeing that working people get their fair share of our abundance.
Which is why greedy corporate interests and other anti-labor forces that want a larger share at the expense of others argue selfishly against unions and, indeed, against the very concept of collective bargaining.
The anti-union forces that preach scarcity, noted King, are saying in effect that we should be selfish, that "we had better be jealous of anyone who has more than we do. We had better try to take away from someone who has more than us and bring them down to our level of scarcity rather than trying to bring ourselves (and everyone else) up to their level."
That's clearly what's behind the attempts to reduce or even deny public employees and others the pensions and other fringe benefits and in some cases the pay raises they won in past bargaining and that they earned through their often hard work.
It's not just a matter of wages, hours and working conditions. As King said, doing justice also means "giving workers a real voice in decision making in building the best product or providing the best service for their customers."
Auto workers know that all too well. It isn't U.S. auto workers who are in charge of designing and marketing the vehicles that so many American buyers reject in favor of those designed and skillfully marketed by Japanese firms and other foreign auto makers. U.S. auto workers only build them, in accord with the designs of others that have proved unpopular with so many American drivers.
We shouldn't forget, either, as King reminded his members, that the exercise of the legal union rights granted U.S. workers in the thirties "dramatically reduced poverty and created a far greater sharing of the wealth of this country, The exercise of these rights built the Great American Middle Class." Certainly we do not want to destroy or even weaken a movement capable of such deeds.
King said "the forces teaching scarcity, division and fear have been working very successfully to destroy the American middle class. They want workers to have less and less so the wealthiest can have more and more."
Rebuilding rather than destroying the middle class is what's badly needed, for "there cannot be a strong democracy without a strong middle class, and there cannot be a strong middle class without strong unions."
It comes down to this, said auto workers President King: "Do we want an America of scarcity, division and fear, or do we want an America of abundance, common good and deep caring about one another?"

The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is open year-round, but the majority of business is done in the summer months when tourists flock to the village.
The biggest fan fest is during Induction Weekend, which will begin Friday. However, there is skepticism about how many people will attend since the baseball writers threw a strikeout on the election ballots. According to organizers, the focus will be on creating as much excitement as possible.
Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson said, "We've turned the weekend into a New York centric theme, which should be appealing to baseball fans throughout the state."
The nonprofit organization has an even bigger problem that goes beyond the weekend, however; it has been facing gradual declines in attendance rates throughout the years. Last year, only about 260,000 visitors came to the museum — the lowest attendance since the mid-1980s.
According to Idelson, attendance has mirrored the economy. He said as the economy has down turned, cultural institutions, among many others, suffer equally.
The Cooperstown museum is not alone. It is among several sports halls of fames where attendance has been sagging in the past few years. Museum professionals have credited the reasoning to exhibits that aren't interactive enough, weak online presences and image problems stemming from players' use of performance-enhancing drugs.
"In this day and age, the state of the economy, gas prices and the viability of the region in which you exist are all important factors; as is the health of the sport. Thankfully the health of our sport today is strong, and that is a positive indicator moving forward," Idelson said.
Induction Weekend does not have a massive impact on attendance numbers at the baseball shrine, according to Idelson. However, he said a good Induction Weekend certainly helps give it a "little bit of boost."

Last summer, when banks scrambled to comply with waves of new capitalization requirements and credit card regulations, it looked like 0 percent introductory APR promotions were facing the chopping block. After all, in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse and investors' reluctance to purchase collateralize debt, credit card issuers tried to shake customers loose instead of their usual routine of adding new accounts.
The strategy may have worked a little too well.
Federal Reserve statistics show that Americans owe about 15% less on their credit cards than they did two years ago. And while some of that drop in credit card debt has come from defaults, most of us have used the recession as an excuse to buckle down and pay off our outstanding balances. Now that banks have adjusted to the "new normal," we're seeing the return of some great 0 percent introductory APR credit card offers, like these:
Citi® Platinum Select® MasterCard®
Editor's Note: This offer has expired and is no longer available.
If you're the kind of consumer that just wants to save money without a lot of frills, consider checking out the Citi Platinum Select MasterCard. While most card issuers save their zero percent offers for prospects with excellent credit, Citi has reportedly been fairly generous with approvals for this product. You're giving up the opportunity to earn points, miles, or cash back rebates with this platinum card. However, you're gaining a hard-to-find, 18-month, 0% APR on new purchases.
Why so generous? Because the 18-month, no interest balance transfer offer carries a 3% service fee. If you intend to pay down that balance transfer before the promotional period expires, you'll still save money compared to any card that's charging you over 3% interest. Don't miss your due date, though. The bank still runs a kind of internal universal default program that can hike your interest rates on all your Citigroup credit cards to 29% or higher if you fail to pay any of your Citi cards on time.
Capital One® VentureOne® Rewards Credit Card
During 2008's credit card crunch, Capital One gained some fans by becoming one of the first banks to adopt easier-to-read statements and "plain language" mailers. Now, they're trying to lure more jetsetters to their brand with the VentureOne Rewards card. You'll need excellent to good credit score to get this card, but you'll get a bunch of great perks.
Like other cards under the Venture umbrella, this product gives you flexible travel rewards and plenty of bonus opportunities. Travelers already love that Capital One doesn't charge foreign transaction fees for overseas purchases.
Chase Slate®
Chase has mounted an aggressive media campaign to promote its Blueprint account management services. Until now, consumers have been used to a pretty simple relationship with their credit card companies: buy stuff, get bill, pay bill, repeat. Chase has leveraged online technology to help cardholders take their account management to a new level. Their Web site can help you budget to pay off your debt on a timetable you select, or to manage major purchases in ways that minimize your finance charges.
If you want to get some of your credit card debt from other banks onto Chase's new platform, their Slate card offers an attractive balance transfer option. Most approved customers can qualify for fifteen months at zero percent introductory APR for balance transfers. And zero introductory balance transfer fee on transfers made within 60 days of account opening. After that the balance transfer fee is listed as: either $5 or 3% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater. Even if you need to pay that transfer down beyond the promotional period, Blueprint can still help you save money compared to your current credit card. You'll also enjoy zero percent introductory APR on new purchases for a fifteen months, with Blueprint tools that remind you how much you'll need to send in to avoid paying interest.
Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card
Citi's Diamond Preferred Card offers new cardholders an 18 month zero introductory APR on balance transfers which comes with a balance transfer fee of 3 percent of the amount of each balance transfer; $5 minimum, and a variable APR beyond the promotional period currently at 11.99% to 21.99% based on creditworthiness. This card also offers 24/7 access to personalized concierge service, Citi® Easy Deals℠ where you can get what you want for less. Earn Citi Easy Deals Points for the purchases you make with your card. Then redeem your points for great online deals on name-brand merchandise, gift cards or even local deals. There is $0 liability on unauthorized purchases with Citi Identity Theft Solutions.
The Citi Diamond Preferred Card requires applicants to maintain very high credit scores. And like Citi's other cards, this product isn't ideal if you tend to press your luck with payment due dates. Use this card to manage a balance transfer along with everyday purchases, and you could end up ahead on the deal.
Offers like these send encouraging signs to consumers that credit card issuers still want to compete on both price and service. With recent concerns in the press about the sudden competitive advantages of community banks and credit unions, it's great to see three of the major players in consumer lending offering ways to save money while managing credit responsibly.

SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say a pickup truck veered off a street, struck a tree, spun around and crashed into a house in northwestern Ohio, fatally injuring the driver and a passenger.
The State Highway Patrol says both men were thrown from the vehicle before it hit the house and caught fire around 3:30 a.m. Sunday in Sandusky, roughly 50 miles east of Toledo. Neither was wearing a seat belt.
Troopers say the passenger was a 30-year-old Bellevue man. They did not immediately identify the driver.
At least five people were inside the house during the crash, but they were not hurt.
Troopers are investigating what caused the crash. They say it's not clear if drugs or alcohol were involved.

Thread: N.J. teen untethers iPhone
N.J. teen untethers iPhone
NEW YORK  A teenager in New Jersey has broken the lock that ties Apple's iPhone to AT&T's wireless network, freeing the most-hyped cell phone ever for use on the networks of other carriers, including overseas ones.
George Hotz, 17, confirmed Friday that he had unlocked an iPhone and was using it on T-Mobile's network, the only major U.S. carrier apart from AT&T that is compatible with the iPhone's cellular technology.
While the possibility of switching from AT&T to T-Mobile may not be a major development for U.S. consumers, it opens up the iPhone for use on the networks of overseas carriers.
"That's the big thing,†said Hotz, in a phone interview from his home in Glen Rock.
The hack, which Hotz posted Thursday to his blog, is complicated and requires skill with both soldering and software. It takes about two hours to perform. Hotz collaborated online with four other people, two of them in Russia, to develop the unlocking process.
"Then there are two guys who I think are somewhere U.S.-side,†Hotz said. He knows them only by their online handles.
He said he wished he could make the instructions simpler, so users could modify the phones themselves.
"That's exactly, like, what I don't want,†Hotz said. "I don't want people making money off this.â€Â
"But that's the simplest I could make them,†Hotz said.
The modification leaves the iPhone's many functions, including a built-in camera and the ability to access Wi-Fi networks, intact. The only thing that won't work is the "visual voicemail†feature, which shows voice messages as if they were incoming e-mail.

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter (strained right calf) went 2-for-3 with a double and an infield single Thursday night in his first minor-league rehab game for Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The shortstop will play at least one more rehab game tonight before returning to the Yankees.
Jeter fielded two grounders in his five innings, one of which he booted for an error.
RBI CONFUSION: Toronto manager John Gibbons and pitcher Mark Buehrle — who did not play — were ejected in the fifth inning for arguing with a confusing call that resulted in the Yankees' second run.
Vernon Wells drilled a liner to center with one out and the bases loaded. A sliding Rajai Davis caught the drive on the fly and then dropped the ball while transferring it to throw. On that throw, second baseman Munenori Kawasaki tagged out Chris Stewart who tried to return to second base — and Ichiro Suzuki, who strayed off second after running there from first.
But first base umpire Scott Barry ruled Davis trapped the ball, leaving Suzuki safe and Stewart out on a fielder's choice forceout.
Eduardo Nunez scored from third to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead.
"We looked at the replay, and it looked to us like it bounced, but probably inside (Davis') glove," crew chief Ted Barrett said. "So on replay, (it) probably would have been ruled a catch."
NIX UPDATE: Jayson Nix (fractured left hand) was placed on the 15-day disabled list after he was hit by a pitch Wednesday night. He probably will be sidelined the rest of the season, Joe Girardi said.
The loss of Nix leaves the Yankees razor-thin at shortstop until Jeter returns with Nunez playing through a sore right hamstring.
Instead of an infielder, the team recalled right-hander Preston Claiborne from Scranton because Wednesday they had used both long men.
EXTRA BASES: Third baseman Kevin Youkilis (back surgery) has not resumed baseball activities and has no timetable to begin swinging. However he's still "hoping" to return this season. ... Fans with tickets to Thursday's game can redeem them for a free grandstand-level or terrace-level ticket to one of three games against the Chicago White Sox on Sept. 2-4.

Orange County Angels right-hander Jered Weaver will enter the ninth inning with a no-hitter against the Minnesota Twins.
Weaver's got quite a cushion, as the Angels scored once in the first inning, twice in the second, and three times in both the third and fourth innings to grab the 9-0 lead they've still got.
Chris Parmelee opened the top of the eighth inning with a fly to center field. The next batter, Trevor Plouffe, yanked an 0-2 pitch into the stands down the left-field line, just 10 feet foul. Two pitches later, Plouffe lifted a foul pop to Albert Pujols. And Clint Thomas followed with a foul pop to third baseman Mark Trumbo, ending the inning.*
* If anyone knows why Mark Trumbo's still playing third base in this situation, his team ahead by nine runs and his pitcher working on a no-hitter, please contact the American WTF Association of America.
Weaver's thrown 111 pitches; with his career high 128 pitches, another inning seems well within his grasp.
