We asked the students if they had indicated that they were deaf on their
résumés when they applied for jobs. They were aghast, pointing out that
our suggestion would result in zero responses. They generally state that their degrees
are from RIT/NTID and indicate a preference for communication via email. A couple
indicated TTY capability when putting down a phone number,
but most left it off. Imagine the surprise for the recruiter.
We got our most telling response when we asked the students how recruiters reacted
to them upon learning that they were deaf. The spontaneous laughter was
followed by an agreement that "they just don't get it." "Some recruiters ask us if we
are bringing an interpreter with us," said one student. Another chimed in that "they
almost never ask us about our skills. Instead, they want to know how
we would expect to handle communicating with the hearing."
Back home, we called 20 technical recruiting managers to see if they were
aware of NTID. Two were. One had hired a co-op (once) and said that "it was
However, several companies have reaped great benefits by taking the time to overcome
the obstacles of the hearing impaired. Technology solutions can overcome most
communication difficulties. The reward: a new source of talent.
The effort required to break the sound barrier is not a trivial
problem, but the perception of the barrier itself is the biggest obstacle. Expanding
our notion of an applicant pool to include everyone with the necessary skills is an
exciting prospect for some and beyond the reach of others. As we equip our employees
with increasingly sophisticated tools for work, perhaps we should consider whether
access is an issue, whether dealing with people with disabilities is more (or less) an
accommodation than an adjustment. Someday, we may even reach for the speed of light.

I wanted to make the same boustier as my last project, but the pattern on my fabric was so large I had to make it longer, which is fine, but I also made the band 5 peices instead of 3. I cut every single peice out separately to capture the hearts. Once again I used buttons so it could be reversible.
Same as the jersey pencil skirt from Linden's Birthday project, only longer. However I am going to chop it just above the knees and use the excess to make my first ever bra. Wish me luck!

Crowds gather outside the Obscura Cafe in Bournemouth Square as X Factor auditions come to town
Updated 9:45am Wednesday 2nd April 2014 in News By Alex Winter
BOURNEMOUTH proved it had the X Factor when the talent show's auditions came to Dorset today.
Hundreds queued up outside the Obscura Cafe in the Square to have their chance at singing on the show – and the Echo's Hayley Jones-Dowling was among those given a pass to the next stage.
The 31-year-old media sales consultant impressed with her renditions of Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing, Pie Jesu and Amy Winehouse's Valerie. She will now travel to the Emirates Stadium on April 14.
She said: "It's honestly the most nerve-wracking thing in the world. I had to wait for three hours and no one was getting through. I was really relieved when they said they were putting me through. I've done this before so I'm not getting my hopes up but it would be really nice to get in front of the judges this time."
Also accepted onto the next stage of auditions was 30-year-old John Smith. John, who has reached the Bootcamp stage of the programme before, said: "I'm really excited about that. They asked me to perform two songs, so I did A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke and Treasure by Bruno Mars."
He added: "I just wanted to put Bournemouth on the map for everyone so I'm really happy."
Si Genaro, who has also auditioned for The Voice, didn't make it through to the next round of auditions.
"I'll definitely keep trying," he said. "I can still go to the auditions in London, and I might go to Birmingham as well as I have a friend there who will be giving it a go."
He said producers at the Bournemouth auditions had told him to try Britain's Got Talent.
"I've missed the auditions for the next series, but I'll definitely go along for the one after that," he said.
Melissa Barton, 21, who is from Bransgore, said she was feeling "absolutely fine" ahead of her audition.
"It's going to go one way or the other," she said. "I don't want to be all stressed out – I'm just going to see how it all goes."
But Sarah Gates, who travelled from Winchester to take part, said she was feeling a bit nervous as she is battling a chest infection.
She said: "I've been singing since I was tiny. I got picked on by the teacher at primary school because she said I have perfect pitch, and was always making me sing. Unfortunately, I'm not feeling well at all today, which is a shame."
The X Factor, now in its 11th series, aims to find the newest singing sensation from across the UK.

I am not sure if there really is a reduction of nutrition in frozen vegetables because it all depends how you prepare them and you can have less vitamins in fresh vegetables if you store or cook them too long. Frozen vegetables are also perfect for people who don't have much time to prepare food.
I love the frozen section of the grocery store. I buy frozen fruit--I am a smoothie drinker and the convenience of the steam packs (yes, I know there is a reduction in nutrition) really makes me eat more veggies than we would otherwise. I steer clear of the "sauced" versions and I don't go for frozen dinners, pizzas or pockets anymore.
smoking quit date: 11/16/13
One of the first things we learn when we start to live a healthier life is to forget about frozen foods and to buy food in the fresh food department instead. But there are exceptions and there are certain foods you can buy frozen without feeling bad about it.
I usually buy spinach (when out of season), broccoli, corn and peas frozen. I really don't like frozen fruits because I think they dont have the same consistency and look of the fresh fruit. They are still great for smoothies though, which I don't make much. I hope every one has a great Sunday. Keep sparking

Again, it goes back to perception being reality. I highly doubt that the majority of Americans know the history of said flag.
Ok couple things, God is only found in the south? Lol. Also baseball dominance? What? Football dominance? For a little in college but not even close in NFL
Is it me or does it seem lately that every where I look people are talking about racism and they speak ill of the south? It's always ''In the south this '' and '' In the south that''. I have lived here my whole life and yes there are some racists but damn they are very rare. I was reading on the ESPN page and there is a new push to stop the Ole Miss fight song where it stats ''the south will rise again'' I mean what are we not allowed to have southern pride now? Isn't it better here than up north? Manners, God, beaches , Sunny weather, Football and baseball dominance?ÃÂ It seems guys like Bill Mahar and CNN , MSNBC make it out to be like the KKK is rampant, or even existent.Just venting guys. Bare with me.ÃÂ
I do agree however about the anti-south bias.ÃÂ I won't say that its rampant, but its definitely something that I've heard often enough to know that people from the north have preconcieved ideas about the south, when most of them have never been here to experience the culture.ÃÂ If they had they would know that those kinds of stereotypes are totally blown out of proportion.
so is flying the flag that last stood for states rights.
Quote from: The White Tiger on October 23, 2009, 01:37:56 AMso is flying the flag that last stood for states rights.That flag stands for different things to different people. To you, it's states' rights ... to some it's slavery and racism .... to some it's heritage. To me, I see a near miss ... Have you ever thought about what would have happened if the South had won and we were two countries (at least) instead of one great one? There had to have been some published speculation over the last century as to what it would have looked like...
I've lived in the deep south, southwest and northeast and the most violently racists people by far are Bostonians and the south Philly types. I mean even in deepest Louisiana in places that voted for David Duke I didn't see the type of pure hatred I saw up north.

Well, I knew it had to happen eventually. After 2.5 years in South Texas, my luck was bound to run out.
I will finally experience my first hurricane.
Granted, I'm still not too sure I want it to be Ike. I mean, I just learned his name a couple days ago, for crying out loud. And he seems rather unpredictable and angry. Not to mention, is he the kind of hurricane that will cuddle after the storm?
But I can't keep my hurricane virginity forever, so this weekend, I'm bound to finally find out just what it is all my coastal friends have been bragging about all these years ("Oh, Aprill, my first time was great...Hurricane Steve was so gentle through the whole thing").
And sure, I'm scared. But I've got protection (is it bad to double up on plywood?) and I've had the "talk" with weather experts (when a Mommy wind and a Daddy wind fall in love, they create a special little wind that grows and grows...).
So wish me luck, readers. I'm finally ready to truly become a coastal resident.

Junior Member
Is malphite considered a tank, even we equip him in damage gear and also consider the fact that malphite has no defensive skills.
Senior Member
if you stack up armor and get some HP, you will be able to take quite a lot of damage. so he isn't quite a pure tank, he is a tank/initiator.
he has a damage move based off armor
and his passive
both i would count as defensive
he can be played as a melee DPS (although this is rare to see) or a tank/initiator (not as pure tankee as say alistar or rammus, but still does great in the role... and ground slam is a nice anti-carry move)
Step 1: Unstoppable force
Step 2: Seismic Shard the squishiest hero
Step 3: Activate passive whose name I don't remember
I forget what build I actually use as him, though...
Anyhow, on topic: Malphite's innate ability makes him a beastly tank with enough HP built up, so long as you give it time to recover between fights/ganks/whatever. But your role is really pretty much jacking a hero with seismic shard and unstoppable force and generally being a great big annoyance for the enemy team >.>
His armour stacks with his ground slam damage and its easy to get a fast cd 400 damage aoe by chasing some armour, and 10% of his hp goes into a fast resetting shield so he can play as a semi tank, but really hes an initiator and amazing at stopping enemy teams as a whole or people who are casting ulti's with his ultimate. He's also great at chasing with Shard and a frost mallet or somesuch slowing weapon. Imo he's one of the most fun tanks and has more presence than say alistair in a group fight.
I'd love to know what the "official" definition of a tank is cause I keep seeing these posts where heroes I would think are obviously tanks are being called "semi-tanks" and **** like that.
Well the way I look at it is if you try to play Malphite as a straight out tank you tend to get dropped like a sack of spuds, he's much better at opening a group fight then moving about harassing targets of importance whilst spamming his ground slam. He has no ongoing usefulness as a group fighter really. Tanks like Nasus with his ultimate, armour debuff aoe and brutal slow, Alistair with his knockback(ulti breaker) aoe heal which isn't exactly a make or break but helps and his ultimate are both made to take a beating.
Then you've got tanks like Amumu and Blitzcrank who both have pretty awesome cc's and force the opposing team to deal with them, Amumu via his Despair and his Ulti, along with Tantrum whilst he's being beaten on and Blitz who can pull an ulti Fiddle etc out of a group fight and force him to waste it and run around popping people in the air disrupting their escape plans, he even comes with 2 inbuilt escape mechanisms in the form of overdrive and his mana shield which is way better than Malphites shield IMO.
Malphites stength lies in his ability to open rather than to outlast, he forces the opposition to enter group fights gingerly awaiting the point in which he charges, stomps, shards and puts a world of hurt on whomever he picks, beyond that point he becomes much less of a threat, he becomes more like Mundo, a decent damage dealer who can take a bit of a beating.
Whenever I complete my full 6 item set with Malphite, which has only happened maybe 2-3 times, I have just shy of 400 armor and 150ish MR, about 2.5k hp iirc. With those states, his passive, and the Banshees Veil passive, he is most definitely a tank, as well as being able to lay down a beating with Unstoppable Force -> Ground Slam -> Seismic Shard combos.
I don't run this build if the team is heavy on casters obviously, but more often then not lately I've been getting more physical heavy teams then magic.

Aqua Grill
Aqua Grill Review
Come hungry. That might be the best advice for visitors to this highly acclaimed restaurant. The menu covers all the bases—steaks, pasta, fork-tender pork shank—but eclectic preparation of fresh seafood is what Aqua Grill does best. The constantly rotating menu might include crispy red snapper Bangkok or pan-seared local triggerfish with pork belly confit and fried leeks. Portions are huge, so share an appetizer. The most popular is the fried green tomatoes with bacon, goat cheese, Thai chile remoulade and Cajun shrimp salad. The restaurant is a popular spot for locals celebrating special occasions, but it's more casual than formal and has a charming lakeside patio dining area surrounded by waterfalls. Kids—and adults—love observing the colorful saltwater aquarium in the dining room. There's a lively bar scene, with sports showing on seven HD TVs. The full menu is available at the bar, but there's bar food, too, such as the chef's El Presidente wings.

To cut costs and streamline its financial and human resources activities, Sublette County School District #1, based in Pinedale, WY, will implement a software package that will consolidate operations into a single database.
For the project, the school district selected the Skyward School Business suite, a finance and human resource software package designed to help manage annual budgets, employee payroll, and purchasing. Each module in the fully integrated suite reflects data changed in one area throughout the system.
The budget management module will allow the district to forecast, plan, and enter their budget, keep detailed information from previous budgets, and store unlimited budget forecasts. All required state reports are also built directly into the system.
The system's payroll software, which places employee information into one central location, provides employees with online access to their own payroll, vacation, W2, and check history information. It also integrates with the general ledger and allows users to track employee contracts.
The purchasing module streamlines the purchasing process by allowing users to enter and approve requisitions electronically. Other features include built-in budget restriction tools and integration with accounts payable, accounts receivable, and the general ledger. It also includes cost saving purchase cards, which interface directly with online vendors.
The system will be fully operational by January 2014.
Sublette County School District #1, which serves the communities of Pinedale, Bondurant, Boulder, Cora, and Daniel, enrolls approximately 1,000 students at one high school, one middle school, and two elementary schools. The district's operating budget for 2012-2013 is approximately $3.1 million.

Be an example of good behaviour today Scorpio. Don't do anything to mar your reputation, especially from the eyes of those who see you as a role model.
Everything works out for the best. You have to trust that the cosmos knows what it's doing.
You have the talent to manoeuvre your way into any position that you want. Use this not to take advantage, but to put yourself in a favourable position where you can work your way up.
It's good that you've taken a real interest in living more healthily. Be careful about preaching about it to your friends though. They might not appreciate that.

Role of insulin signaling in regulating thalamic MDN gene expression
Schizophrenia is a non-Mendelian, genetically heterogeneous disorder which is defined clinically by symptom clusters impacting a person's perception, cognition and behavior. A promising task ahead in schizophrenia research is to link recent genomic and genetic data and that of neuroimaging studies of living subjects with the underlying neuropathology impacting various brain regions. As such, the role of insulin signaling, glucose hypometabolism and the possibility of neuronal insulin resistance in the brain of persons suffering schizophrenia has become a very important area of study. Dysregulation of prefrontal cortical activity involved in working memory and executive functioning, which are dysfunctional in persons suffering schizophrenia, has been reported in both animals and humans. Various postmortem and in vivo anatomical and functional studies have identified the mediodorsal nucleus (MDN) as having less relative glucose utilization likely representing less relative neuronal activation. Owing to reciprocal connectivity, the thalamic nuclei and their cortical fields act as functional units. We have accumulatively collected a highly enriched neuronal population from the parvocellular subregion of the MDN (MDNp) of postmortem samples and have performed microarray analysis identifying gene expression changes in IGF-1/mTOR and AKt signaling pathways in SZ. In addition, there is mounting evidence for dysregulation of brain insulin receptors and insulin-dependent Akt signaling. For instance, pharmacologic stimulation of muscarinic and insulin/IGF1 receptors reverses the gene expression changes in specific subsets of genes that have been shown to be dysregulated in SZ, further highlighting the importance of insulin signaling. Thus, converging evidence from various lines of study implicate insulin receptor deficits in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), reduced utilization of glucose by the MDN and PFC, as well as AKT1 as a risk gene for SZ. However, it is unclear if these genes identified are truly under the transcriptional control of insulin signaling in the thalamus and if a similar dysregulation in gene expression can be induced by selective insulin resistance in the MDNp. The Buettner lab has studied the role of insulin signaling in the mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH), a brain region that is important in metabolic control. From these studies it is clear that insulin does signal in neurons and it also established the methodology used in the experimental design of this proposal. Since the MBH is an insulin responsive brain region we will use the MBH as a positive control for brain insulin studies for our proposed MDN microarray studies in rat brain. Thus, we propose to study the role of insulin signaling in the transcriptional regulation of these same target genes that we identified in SZ postmortem samples by employing a series of well-controlled in vivo clamp studies in rat inducing either systemic versus MDN selective insulin signaling. If we can demonstrate that insulin signaling indeed regulates MDNp transcription of these genes then we could a) determine in vivo insulin resistance of the MDNp and other brain region using functional MRI during hyperinsulinemic clamps in humans, and b) test if intranasal, i.e. brain specific delivery of insulin improves schizophrenia in humans.

SteFlack - Thanks man!
Kungfoowiz - Thank you! Trying to get at least a few hours every day in on workdays.
Did this over the weekend. Not sure if it's done yet.
Nice piece alexson you can definately push it more more more stick it to da man!
Available for Freelance!-Contact firstname.lastname@example.com
That new piece looks good, I like the idea of it.
However it could use some work. The hood doesn't follow the dudes head and a lot of the heads around him could use some tweaking.
The light comes from above but some of the heads doesn't get light from above. I also think you could push the light just slightly on the heads too because it doesn't really convince me since there's such a strong light on the guy in focus. Obviously that's an "focus of the image thing" but you would be better of giving some of the heads a little more light though.
I made a draw/paint over but the damn file is lost somewhere... naming stuff asd is not a good idea.

fudgeloaf - Thanks man! But "push it more" doesn't really mean anything to me tough
Loathsome - Thanks bro. You're right about the light on the heads, I fixed 'em some to make it more consistent but I really don't want to put any more light on them because they aren't that important. Thanks for the feedback!
Unlink40 - Thanks!
Trying to keep this thread alive somewhat. Here's a commission thing I started tonight, the guy wanted a pinup but I steered him more into a illustrationish thing. I think it's more fun to do, less cliché. Poison Ivy from Batman.
liking your recent updates man! also it was cool to find you on twitter recently
Man your actual piece is awesome! Maybe some green or red would push it to the limit. It needs more mood, the composition is good imo. Keep that up. Great stuff dude.
Nice work man. I really like the dude with all the arms, such a cool image and I like that it tells a bit of story as well. Poison Ivy is looking good too, looking forward to seeing her finished.
nice looking commission man! i looove poison ivy!!!! she is so hot. this is gonna be sweet!!

Here's poison ivy finish. And a wip sketch for the next one on the pinup commission. Harley Quinn this time.
Hey bro, Poison Ivy is great! =) Really like the leafy atmosphere you made in the piece =) That is an interesting crop you made for the finished piece, I'm not sure whether I would've made it a bit more centred, but it is interesting still =) The drawing for Harley gives a nice comp imho, really like that =) And I think you nailed her expression, would be just how I imagine her a bit naughty you know =) Great work in any case, think your figures are improving and you're getting the hands pretty good too =)

the last poison ivy post seems .... not your of level (sorry if i'm too honest)
did u used some referencing ?
some minor proportions issues: long neck, little big head ...
composition should be better (she is too far left and lack attitude)
i'm a bit harsh coz i saw your earlier works and you have talent can be taken further more
good luck with your nexts

Here is WIP of Harley Quinn. Still a lot left to do.
Hey man, great job on poison ivy, she came out really nice and Harley Quinn is shaping up to be even better. You've posted some really nice work this month and its great to see you doing so well.
Niiiiiiiccccceee! =) Lighting is jusst awesome! =) Would maybe add some nice lashes to her eyes =) It's great, keep up the awesome work!!! =)
SteFlack - Thanks bro!
Kungfoowiz -
So here's HQ finished. Also a shitty 30min portrait thing. I'm really missing doing more studies every day. I'm on the brink of quitting my shit job so I can paint more.
Great updateage, Alex =) Painting skillz coming a long nicely!
To me there's a bit of a proportion issue with the heads on poison ivy and harley - kinda look a bit big or stylized, not sure if you were going for that!
great deal of studies. awesome.
Hey alexson Harley's looking good, nice texture on the costume. I'd add a shadow under that middle bobble/bell thingy and darken the left hand side of her white neck piece it's looking a bit flat and floaty, a few random colour variations would look nice as well
Yeah, fuck that job, just paint, and draw too =) Harley is awesome bro! =) The flame effects really add to her personality, think you did a sweet job on her costume too =) Maybe a bit more sparkle in her eyes, and a touch of lip gloss, just ideas =) Nice job in any case =) Keep up the awesome! =)
great work man and neat site! keep it up!
AlexTooth - Thanks man! I know I always do the heads too big, its really annoying.
anamhaleem - Thanks man!
rodriguez - Thanks for the input, appreciate it!
Kungfoowiz - Thanks man! I just need to scrape together some $$ so I'll be ok for a few month while I study and stuff.
yogeshj25 - Thanks pal!
Here's a sketch for commission nr. 3 Catwoman.
Good job on the harley pic
Haha, another awesome draw bro, think you really getting your faces right imho =) Loving the style too =) Just words of love tonight, I hope you are keeping well there =)
The Kitty looks good I especially like the punk face and expression you gave her nice clean lines... couple of suggestions though, make her weist wider its more attractive, her right hand with the whip is too short so is the left, the wrists should be about the line with the crutch, her legs seem to be off compared to the torso, keep up the hard work man.

Nice color and sense of form in your paintings!
Take care of the different kind of materials.
In the last painting the materials like the leather look great, but in the two before it is all the same rendering in my opinion ^^
Keep going!

Lynchburg, VA - 192 new neighbors: that is what awaits some folks in Lynchburg. Lynchburg City Council approved the rezoning of multiple parcels behind the Timberlake Kroger for a project to build a 192 apartment complex there.
It was a unanimous vote at Tuesday night's council meeting. The complex is set to be built along a stretch of Timbrook Road.
According to neighbors there, many people on that street have sold their property in fears of increased noise and traffic.
"A lot of people are upset about it. The gentleman next door, he's planning on doing the same thing, he wants to put his house on the market also. But he's worried about his price value going down" Tony Hamlett, who lives on Timbrook.
The project will include a six acre wooded buffer and fence sectioning the apartments off from neighboring properties.

- Dont Be Tardy Next: The Biermanns Play Truth or Dare Special Time! Sunday 9/8c
That Quickfire Challenge, I have to say, I thought there were some real hits and some real misses. First of all, Betty's curdled lime drink? What was that? You can mix rum and lime and cream, but nobody wants to drink anything that's curdled. She really should have thought ahead about that one and used a blender to really get the thing emulsified. I wouldn't be able to drink it. I don't know anyone who would. Chefs can be a bunch of punks. And the judges generally fall into this category, and this is what I like about Ted Allen. I think he's an incredibly fair judge. Cooking with him, or around him, you get the impression that he's knowledgable. He's actually one of my favorite judges so far, because he's a very capable judge, and he never gets personal about it. He just seems to really enjoy himself and enjoy the fact that he's there talking about the food. This season's chefs are definitely pretty dramatic. And more so than Season 1. It's almost as if they're very aware of the fact that they're on television.

Fire Brigades Union
Anger at the Government's treatment of firefighters since the 2002 pay dispute came to a head on 17 June when the Fire Brigades Union conference voted overwhelmingly to disaffiliate from the Labour Party.
By Nick Holden
After suspending conference on 11 May the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) exec went into extensive negotiations with the employers over the conditions they wanted to implement in stage two of the 2002 pay award.
The Fire Brigades Union conference has voted approximately five to one in favour of disaffiliating from the Labour Party. A formal card vote is still being counted as I write.
The defeat of the union Executive's alternative proposal, to remain affiliated but open up the possibility of supporting some non-Labour candidates, was ensured by the members' utter frustration with being repeatedly let down by this once popular and reputedly left-wing union leadership.
Resist the sell-out, reject the deal
Firefighters fighting further attacks on their terms and conditions found this week that the FBU leadership was intent on negotiating a deal which would open the door to changes in the four-watch shift system, and even allow fire service management the option of closing some fire stations overnight, even while it encouraged firefighters to risk suspension in pursuit of a union policy it no longer believed in.
The conference of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) was suspended on its first day (11 May), following the collapse of talks between the FBU leadership and the employers over the implementation of the latest stage in the deal which brought the firefighters' strike to an end a year ago.
The Fire Brigades Union estimates that unofficial industrial action (mostly work-to-rules or 999-only) is taking place in 85% of brigades across Britain. The action is underpinned by discontent over pay and conditions, and has been sparked by victimisations. As of 20 May, 47 firefighters in the Manchester area were suspended. The AWL urges all trade unionists to ring Salford Fire Station with messages of support: 0161 908 9703/01/02, or fax to 0161 908 9700.
Nineteen firefighters in Manchester have been sent home without pay in what is increasingly looking like a management lock-out in a bid to break the Fire Brigades' Union before it holds a recall conference next month to consider a strike ballot.
Fire Brigades Union (FBU) members in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets have voted by 122 to 21 to take industrial action short of a strike in a dispute over plans by the London Fire Brigade (LFB) to force firefighters to attend ambulance calls. The union balloted its members after managers refused to enter negotiations.
West Midlands FBU will be protesting on 22 March to demand that the Fire Service reinstates Steve Godward.
Steve was sacked over allegations arising from the FBU strike a year ago. He has successfully pusued a campaign to clear his name. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister has concluded that Steve should not have been sacked. And yet his employer has not given him his job back, and is instead trying to appeal.
Below is a letter from Steve's FBU branch giving details of the case, and inviting you to support the protest.
The leadership of the FBU are preparing to follow the RMT into conflict with the Labour Party leadership, by proposing to next month's FBU conference a shake-up of the union's political activity. This will include a reduction in donations to the Labour Party, and a move which would return FBU policy to the position of the 2001 conference - with the exception that this time, the leadership will be proposing it, rather than fighting it.
The leadership of the Fire Brigades Union is to recommend cutting donations to Labour and might redirect funding to other parties.
The FBU leadership states:
By Colin Foster
The Labour Party has expelled the railworkers' union RMT. The Communication Workers' Union has condemned the expulsion and called on the Labour Party to discuss with the RMT. But many socialists have rejoiced, saying that the RMT's expulsion should and will be followed by many other unions deciding of their own accord to break links with Labour.
In fact that is unlikely.
By Nick Holden
The agenda for the annual conference of the Fire Brigades' Union (at Bridlington, May 11-14) has just been published and there are several motions advocating disaffiliation from the Labour Party or the opening up of the political fund to allow branches to support non-Labour candidates.
Victimised firefighter Steve Godward, who was sacked from his job in the West Midlands Fire Service during the 30k pay dispute, has won his final appeal (made to John Prescott) against the sacking.
The London region of the Fire Brigades Union says in its "News Report" of 29 January 2004 that all its motions to the union's 2004 conference have been ruled out of order. The London region FBU is known as a strong base of left-wing criticism of the FBU leadership.
Paul Woolstenholmes has won the election for National Officer in the FBU. He got 52% of the vote in a three-way contest with the previous National Officer, Mike Lawson, and Bob Pounder.
Lawson played a leading role in the conduct of the year-long FBU fight for a living wage which collapsed toward the end of last year in return for a 3.5% pay rise. This result is widely seen as a victory for those who wanted the fight to be continued and fought with more militancy.
From London Region Fire Brigades Union
We have just been informed of the result of the ballot for national officer.
Details are as follows:
Paul Woolstenholmes 6,671
Mike Lawson 4,721
Bob Pounder 1,507
Matt Wrack, London Region FBU, told Solidarity about the importance of the National Officer elections
The National Officer election ballot is extremely important. It is an opportunity for ordinary members to influence the direction the union is going to take in the coming period.
Paul Woolstenholmes, Brigade Secretary of the Suffolk Fire Brigades Union (FBU), spoke to Nick Holden about the ballot which the union has called to accept or reject the employers' plan to pay the current 7% instalment of their wages deal in two stages, 3.5% now and the other 3.5%, backdated, only after 'verification' of changed work conditions.
Firefighters win Home Office appeal - more await justice
By Vicki Morris
Four Basingstoke firefighters have won their Home Office appeal against their sacking on charges of bullying. The four - Barry Kearley, Steve Dunbar, Bernie Ross and Dick Thoroughgood - suspended from duty in 1999, and sacked thereafter, have spent over four years trying to prove their innocence and get their jobs back.
Paul Woolstenholmes is the leader of the newly formed Firefighters Against Cuts Party which is standing in eight council seats on 1 May. These are five Strathclyde Fire Board members' seats - Troon West; Annbank, Mossblown and St Quivox; Ayr Newton; Irvine Landward; Busby Ward, East Renfrewshire - plus North Ward Felixstowe (two seats) and Harvey Central, Folkestone. Paul spoke about their campaign to Vicki Morris. [from current issue of Solidarity]
Amendment submitted to the Socialist Alliance National Conference (details www.socialistalliance.net) on why and how the SA delivers solidarity to the firefighters...
Around the country, since the firefighters began their dispute with their employers and with the government, the local fire station has become a focus for working-class people's anger with New Labour.
The FBU are holding a mass demo and rally in Dunfermline, Fife on 22nd FEB
Meeting point is in the car park behind Dunfermline fire station, assemble midday
Speakers include Andy Gilchrist FBU GS, Bob Crow RMT GS, Tricia Marwick MSP (SNP), Richie Venton SSP TU organiser & Jan Benvie Fife stop the war coalition.
Come and noise up Gordon Browns constituency, tell him to spend cash on public services rather than murdering the people of Iraq
Dougie Kinnear
more info from email@example.com
Despite strikes having been repeatedly cancelled, and media attention turning from the fire fighters towards Iraq, the FBU pay dispute is still alive.
Public support for the firefighters' claim is still fairly high, but it would be much higher if socialists and trade unionists thought more seriously about organising solidarity, rather than just paying lip service to slogans like 'victory to the firefighters.'
Is it possible to have an area of the site where people post prominently details of firefighter support? It's going to get a bit lost if it's all posted as news items? Here's my firefighters' support news:
Merton firefighters' support is embryonic but we are holding a stall outside a gig on Saturday 30 November at the Wimbledon Theatre, Wimbledon Broadway. Meet at 7pm. The gig stars Mark Thomas raising funds for AFC Wimbledon (the non-league club that many Wimbledon fans support now that Wimbledon FC is going to Milton Keynes). More details about the stall: 07719 283132 / firstname.lastname@example.com .
Battersea and Wandsworth TUC has set up a support group. Next meeting is 7.30pm, at LARA Community Centre, St John's Hill, nr Clapham Junction on Tuesday 3 December. More details from firstname.lastname@example.com , tel 020 8682 4224. The group is setting up a bank account and making a drive for regular standing order contributions from union members in the area.
A letter to all London FBU members from their Executive representative outlines the case for the FBU strike starting on Wednesday 13 November at 18:00. Read the full text here.
Please use the comments facility to post both comments and local reports.
As we go to press the Fire Brigade Union are holding talks with the Government over their pay claim of £30,000 a year. The union suspended two 48-hour strikes planned for 29-30 October and 2-3 November after talks with Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott appeared to indicate at least part of the union's claim would be met by the Government. An eight day strike is due to start on 6 November unless a deal is made.
Editorial from Solidarity 3/15, 31 October 2002
A Solidarity reader's recollection of the first national Fire Brigade strike.
Where were you in the winter of 1977-78? I was in Winchester on stand-by for the Isle of Wight in the fire strike. A young squaddie of nineteen, I'd just finished my driver-training near Hull, to ready me for driving the mighty Green Goddess. My Bedford Green Goddess was of 1953 vintage. Many fire-engine enthusiasts have newer appliances in their collection.
The German trade union representing fire service workers, Verdi, has put out a statement, in English, backing the FBU in their campaign for better pay.
The letter, from the secretary and chair of the national fire brigade grouping in the world's biggest union, says Firefighters give the citizens the most comprehensive and most professional service for their safety. Politicians particulary praise on celebrations the fire brigade, but if it comes to payment, who do the job - the firefighters - , then they tend to forget all about it.

Google v. Microsoft
michael posted more than 10 years ago | from the death-match dept.602
ph43thon writes "The New York Times business section has an article, The Coming Search Wars, about Google and Microsoft. It's fairly long and pretty interesting. Oddly, the writer or somebody out there, seems to think that Google v. Microsoft is analogous to Netscape v. Microsoft. I wasn't aware that you needed to download special software to run this Google search application. Somehow, I don't think Microsoft will find this fight to be as easy."
