If Ed Miliband's reform has cut the power of the union bosses in the Labour Party, why have they agreed to it? That is the question asked by Conservatives, who think that there must be a catch to the rule changes approved yesterday.
They are wrong. This is a historic change that will improve democracy, and not just in the Labour Party. It will make the relationship between Labour and the unions honest at last, and cut the power of union general secretaries in Labour leadership elections straight away, and in policy-making over time.
Why, then, have the leaders of the big unions agreed to it? For the same reason MPs and lords voted for the original Self-denying Ordinance in 1645: to enable the fight to be taken more effectively to the enemy. Members of the Long Parliament ruled themselves out of military command to create the more professional New Model Army, which was decisive in winning the Civil War.
Union general secretaries know that their power in Labour puts off some voters, and especially because Miliband was their choice for leader. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown could get away with a partly reformed party, because no one thought that they were the creatures of the union bosses. Hence the boldness of Miliband's strike last July, when he declared that no one should be "paying money to the Labour Party in affiliation fees unless they have deliberately chosen to do so".
Len McCluskey, the leader of Unite, the largest union, underwent a miraculous conversion as a result: "Having been challenged by Ed to consider the status quo, I suddenly felt it was untenable," he told The Guardian last week. "If I am asked on the television 'How come you affiliate one million of your members when you know 400,000 of them don't vote Labour?' I would not be able to look the interviewer in the eye."
This untenability of these ghost armies has been evident to some of us since the Jurassic period, but Miliband deserves the credit for forcing McCluskey to come round – if Unite's leadership had rejected reform, he would have been blamed by Labour supporters for amplifying Tory propaganda.
This was how John Smith persuaded union leaders in 1993 to abandon the grip of local union officials on the selection of Labour parliamentary candidates. Hence the significance of Elizabeth Smith's endorsement of yesterday's vote as the completion of her late husband's journey.
Going further back, David Owen's endorsement brings us full circle to the SDP breakaway of 1981, which was partly a reaction against giving union bosses a say in leadership elections.
So, yes, Miliband's change is right and brave. The Tories have suggested that, if few union members choose to affiliate to Labour, this would mean more money in the unions' political funds for union leaders to donate to the party or to withhold, paradoxically increasing their leverage. This is not the case: all the money given to Labour by the unions is already granted at the whim of general secretaries – who in effect choose how many members to affiliate. That is the "untenable" situation of which McCluskey has "suddenly" become aware.
Miliband's reform is the real thing, and it will have real and welcome consequences – whatever the result of the next general election. If Miliband loses, it means that the next Labour leader will be a Blairite. And if Miliband becomes prime minister, it means he could legislate for a cap on political donations, which would transform the balance of power between the two main parties for decades to come.
As I pointed out five weeks ago, the new rules leave the choice of Labour leader to the one section of the old electoral college that gave the greatest support to David Miliband in 2010: party members. And the new leadership election rules came into force yesterday – unlike the funding changes, which will take five years to phase in.
If there is a leadership election next year, therefore, it will be decided by party members, who will be joined by "registered supporters" paying £3, and by union members, called "affiliated supporters", whose fee will be paid through their union. They will all vote on equal terms and, crucially, they will vote through Labour HQ. The union bosses will not be able to send out flyers for their preferred candidate with the ballot papers, as they did for Ed Miliband. That is why I think a Blairite candidate such as Gloria De Piero could beat Yvette Cooper, who is the current favourite.
But let us not, after Ed Miliband's big day of being brave and right, assume that he will lose the next election. If he wins, a Labour government could at last break the impasse over party funding and cap donations at £5,000 per year. Trade union money, because it will come with explicit consent from individual union members, would be unaffected by the cap, but the law would strangle Conservative funding at source.
Either way – a Blairite leader or big money in politics finally cut down to size – a win for democracy. Not bad for yesterday's couple of hours' work.

Vijay in Demand: Actor to Team up with Director Samuthirakani?
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By sangeetha seshagiri | March 20, 2014 8:39 PM EST
"Ilayathalapathy" Vijay seems to be the choice of every Kollywood director for their films these days.
Though the actor is currently focused on AR Murugadoss' upcoming film (tentatively titled as "Vijay 55"), there has been a lot of buzz about his new projects.

Vijay ( Screenshot from "Thalaivaa" official trailer/ YouTube)
Earlier, there were reports that Ilayathalapathy will star in Chimbu Devan's film, which will be jointly produced by the actor's manager PT Selvakumar and Shibu of Thameens Films. An official announcement on the details of the film's cast and crew is still awaited.
Speculations are rife that the actor has been approached by quite a few directors, besides Chimbu Devan, to rope him in for their respective projects. Names of popular directors including Suseenthiran ("Pandiya Naadu"), Sasikumar ("Subramaniapuram") and Atlee ("Raja Rani") are being associated with Vijay's new projects.
The latest to join the list is director Samuthirakani, who tasted success with his recently released "Nimirnthu Nil". The director has reportedly been in talks with Vijay for a new film, though there has been no confirmation regarding this project yet.
"Samuthirakani and Vijay haven't met each other till now, though they have had discussions over the phone. The talks for this project are in process but nothing has been confirmed. Once they meet, things may fall in place," a source close to the director told Behindwoods.
"The situation will also become clearer after the release of Janda Pai Kapiraju, the Telugu version of Nimirnthu Nil. Samuthirakani is also in talks for a film with Jiiva. His next film will be known clearly by April," the source added.
Vijay is likely to start the Chimbu Devan project, after completing the Murugadoss film. On the other hand, Samuthirakani will reportedly commence his new film "Kitna" with Amala Paul in double role.
If Vijay and Samuthirakani are to team up for a film, it might take some time for the project to go on floors, since both the actor and the director will be busy with their other film commitments.

Today at Flavorpill, we remembered what the world was like the last time Titanic was in theaters. We we were introduced to Divorce Expo, married it, and kicked it out of the house. We heard from Ben Feldman about his role on Mad Men. We listened to Kathleen Hanna's message in support of Pussy Riot. We couldn't get enough of these lip-synched music videos made in a mall in the 1980s. We didn't think it was possible to love a Kindergarten Cop poster this much. We discovered a Rube Goldberg-inspired machine that archives old floppy disks. We found out who makes the best bodega sandwiches in New York. We learned some new factoids about 2001: A Space Odyssey. We didn't necessarily agree with The Telegraph's list of the ugliest buildings in the world. We watched Lindsay Lohan's face change over a 25-year span in 60 seconds. And finally, we felt broke learning that the world's tallest man needs $15,000 shoes. Luckily the Internet didn't fail him and helped raise the money for a new pair.

The dollar and yen, both commonly used by traders as safe havens, moved higher in light trading Monday as uncertainty about the strength of the economic recovery lingered.
The euro, used by 16 European countries, dropped to $1.2682 in late New York trading from $1.2711 late Friday. It touched as low as $1.2647, its lowest point since July 13.
The euro has been volatile this summer, bouncing from a four-year low just under $1.19 in early June as investors worried about the European debt crisis and slow growth, to a three-month high above $1.33 in the first week of August.
There was no economic data released in the U.S. Monday, but a survey of purchasing managers in Europe suggested that business activity grew more slowly in August. That "did the euro no favors," said Brown Brothers Harriman currency strategists in a research note.
The British pound was nearly flat. It edged up to $1.5535 from $1.5530 on Friday, while the dollar slipped to 85.28 Japanese yen from 85.76 yen.
The dollar rose nearly 1 percent against an index comprised of six major currencies. The yen also gained versus the euro and pound.
Interest rates on U.S. Treasury debt, another favored safe haven investment, remained near their lowest levels this year Monday. The yield on the 10-year note is close to a low from March 2009, when the Standard & Poor's 500 index hit its weakest point since 1996 because of heavy job losses and a deep recession.
In other trading Monday, the dollar rose to 1.0394 Swiss francs from 1.0357 francs, and gained to 1.0514 Canadian dollars from 1.0487 Canadian dollars.

Better Cord Management with Recoil Winders
Tech Test Lab Review
Product: Recoil Winder's Cord Management
Price: $9.99 and up
Rating: Strong Recommend*
One problem hasn't gone away in this time of rapid tech innovation: the array of cords required to live a modern, digital life has only grown. I have an entire drawer in my home dedicated to cords and they're a mess. And yet, the products out there to address the issue largely leave something to be desired. They're highly manual, often fray the cords and aren't always compact. Recoil Winders solve a ton of these problems.

It is very important to remember that whatever you pack for hitchhiking will be carried upon your back at all times. And when you are hitchhiking, it is not uncommon to have to walk for large distances if you have been left in a bad place.
When going on a long distance cycling trip, it is vitally important to remember that everything you pack, is extra weight that you have to carry. I therefore advise packing very carefully. If your bike (and its luggage) are too heavy, you will no longer enjoy your trip.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — More than 200 active duty troops and war veterans waving small American flags alongside rainbow banners are marching in San Diego's gay pride parade.
It's believed to be the first time an identifiable group of active duty troops has participated in such an event in the U.S.
Thousands lining the parade route were applauding the marchers Saturday.
The troops and vets were wearing T-shirts advertising their branches of service, and one woman carried a sign that read: "Proudly served in silence for nine years."
The march comes a day after a federal appeals court ordered the military to temporarily continue its "don't ask, don't tell" policy. But there was one major caveat: The government can't investigate or penalize anyone who is openly gay.
Pentagon officials have said they expect the ban to be officially lifted soon.

"Other than some small handyman type issues the place was great. My wife and I enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. It was nice to have a fenced backyard for the dogs. They had a great time too. The house was very clean, off the beaten path, semi- secluded and would recommend anyone to stay here if planning a trip to Eureka Springs."Guest: Big Al Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: October 27, 2014View listing
"We were looking for a place that would hole 14 people for a family reunion. Gaslight vacation home was perfect! It is within walking distance to downtown Eureka Springs, but still in a quiet neighborhood with lots of privacy. The kids loved playing in the huge yard and they loved sleeping together in the huge up stair bedroom. Every bedroom (6 total) had its own private full bath and the house was very clean. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience."Guest: Jong P. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 9, 2014View listing
"Enjoyed our stay and was very clean, but pictures and description are a bit misleading. 2 beds and a couch are advertised, but we had one bed and no couch at all. Also a bit disappointed that it was a duplex, not at all a private cabin."Guest: Crystal P. Date of Stay: March 2014 Review Submitted: March 29, 2014View listing
"We were very pleasantly surprised at the gorgeous view from the deck! Loved the fireplace at night, gas grill at the doorstep, amenities. Such beautiful sunsets...a very photogenic area. One very early morning the valley was filled with fog and a full moon still up shined down on it. We suggest trying the long way around the north part of Eureka Springs, the drive is scenic, not as steep and curvy, and there's two one lane bridges."Guest: MAV Date of Stay: November 2014 Review Submitted: November 12, 2014View listing

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The 2015 election has already begun
BRANDON -- With a ballooning provincial debt, higher taxes and the likelihood of years of greater-than-inflation hydro-rate increases, Manitoba's New Democrats know they aren't going to win the next election if the dominant issue is their management of provincial finances. They think, however, they can win a campaign that asks voters to choose the party that most closely reflects their values. If the strategy seems familiar, it should.
For several decades, right-wing American political strategists have exploited such "wedge" social issues as same-sex marriage and abortion to convince low- and moderate-income social conservatives to support Republican candidates, even though those candidates support policies that would threaten the economic interests of many of those same conservatives.
The next election is more than two years away, but the Selinger government is attempting a variation of the wedge strategy, by using "progressive" social issues to persuade moderate and otherwise fiscally conservative urban residents to support NDP candidates even though doing so would be contrary to their economic self-interest in balanced budgets, lower taxes and affordable hydro rates.
The Selinger government is already working to convince moderate Manitobans only the NDP has the values needed to address issues they care about. They are sending that message with the implementation of a sweeping pesticide ban, with Bill 7, which seeks to increase the supply of affordable housing, and Bill 18, the anti-bullying amendments to the Public Schools Act.
They are driving the point home by including "poison pill" language in legislation, hoping to provoke the opposition Tories into taking extreme positions that would offend moderate Manitobans.
Bill 7, for example, contains provisions empowering municipalities to force private developers and new-home purchasers to subsidize the cost of affordable housing projects. Though Bill 18 could accomplish its anti-bullying objectives without specific reference to gay-straight alliances, the phrase is included for tactical reasons.
The two bills raise hot-button issues that are intended to antagonize the Progressive Conservative base, forcing new Leader Brian Pallister to either antagonize that base or take positions that the NDP can attack as insensitive, intolerant and, in the case of Bill 18, homophobic.
"Bill 18 appears to be a political trap for the PCs," Curtis Brown of Probe Research says "It catches them between their base and their need to appear moderate to voters in suburban Winnipeg -- which they have largely failed to do in the past three elections."
"It also catches both parties in a bind, however, in terms of their ongoing efforts to maintain and attract the support of recent immigrants, many of whom live in Winnipeg's suburbs," he added. "The opposition of various religious groups to Bill 18 could be a problem for the NDP if that legislation is seen as an infringement on their religious beliefs and community autonomy."
Brown is correct in his assessment of the risk inherent in the NDP's strategy. For more than a decade, the party has owned the centre of Manitoba's political spectrum, and they have been rewarded with four straight majority governments.
By attempting to exploit divisive social issues to their tactical advantage, however, they are retreating toward the NDP's traditional terrain on the left. It is the same mistake former NDP premier Howard Pawley made in the 1980s, and it has created an opportunity that the Tories are now seeking to capitalize upon with socially sensitive policies of their own.
Pallister's call this week for a hefty increase in the shelter allowance for Manitobans living on social assistance is the kind of centrist proposal that challenges the NDP's accusation that the Tories do not care about Manitoba's poor, and it is just the start.
Conservative sources indicate the shelter allowance proposal is the first of a number of moderate polices that will be rolled out over the coming months, as Pallister seeks to lay claim to the centre and rebuild Tory support inside the Perimeter.
It is often said Canada's federal politics are in a state of "permanent campaign." The same is now true in Manitoba. The tactical moves by the NDP and Tories indicate the 2015 election campaign has already begun.

Promiscuous Transitive beds Hitachi's boxes and sales folk
Transitive - the king of server software promiscuity - has signed on with Hitachi America to move Solaris/SPARC software over to x86- and Itanium-based servers. The Hitachi deal includes a sales and marketing angle. So, the vendors will team to push Transitive's QuickTransit software at you in tandem with Hitachi's BladeSymphony …
Leaves shoots and eats
"Gets around Transitive beds Hitachi's boxes and sales folk" - can anyone parse this phrase please ?
Why would we want to?
The old paradigm that SUN was going to nail you at ever turn is all but gone these days. Solaris, sorry RH, is less expensive to maintain. I'm sure the NUX fans will quickly point out that there are free alternatives but enterprises want assurances not some 17 year old updating components from his mom's basement.
I guess it is tit for tat with the virtual moves that people like to do and to some this tool makes sense. I hope IT managers who are considering a move from sparc to X86/Itanic really understand the ramifications of going down that path.
The original press release said talked about "Industry Standard" Itanic as a target platform option. How much weight can you put on a partnership of companies that think or promote the notion that Itanic is an industry standard.
I guess i shouldn't be too worried; Hitachi servers are soooooo relevant.

Shahar Pe'er's first match of the new season didn't bode well for the upcoming
year, with the Israeli being thrashed 6-1, 6-3 in just 64 minutes by world No.
131 Elina Svitolina in the first round of the Shenzhen Open in China on
Monday.Pe'er (74) was playing her first WTA Tour match since the end of
August after electing to sit out the final two months of last season due to a
left leg injury. She was accurate on just 45 percent of her first serves, being
broken six times by the 18-year-old Ukrainian, who earned her first career WTA
main draw win.Pe'er will hope to kick-start her season in Hobart next
week ahead of the Australian Open, which gets underway on January
14.Elsewhere, defending Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic suffered
a bizarre injury scare after a faultless straight-sets victory over Italian
Andreas Seppi at the Hopman Cup on Monday.The world No.1 was signing
autographs after the match when he hurt his leg as local fans pushed towards
him.Leaving his racquets and bag on the court, Djokovic limped straight
up the tunnel to receive a medical assessment in the locker room.The
Serbian was unable to complete a television interview he had agreed to after his
6-3, 6-4 victory over Seppi.His on-court performance had been less
stressful as he defeated a plucky opponent who pushed him to the limit in a
five-set thriller at the French Open this year.Djokovic only arrived in
Perth from Abu Dhabi late on Sunday night and admitted he was troubled by jet
lag."I felt this morning that I was dreamwalking," he said. "I broke the
ice after the first set and started to feel better."Djokovic and Ana
Ivanovic held an unassailable 2-0 lead in the tie against the Italian pairing of
Seppi and Francesca Schiavone.Ivanovic began the day by beating
Schiavone 6-0, 6-4.Djokovic is taking part in the roundrobin team event
to be guaranteed at least three matches in his build-up to the Australian
Open.Reuters contributed to this report.

Eva Green had bruises after filming her sex scene in 300: Rise of an Empire.Eva Green describes her 300: Rise of an Empire sex scene as a "fight".The 33-year-old actress plays warrior Artemisia in the follow-up to Zack Snyder's 2006 action flick 300. She and co-star Sullivan Stapleton, who takes on the role of Themistocles, share a raunchy scene in the movie.Recalling how she and Sullivan approached the explicit scene, Eva shared the gritty details."The thing with sex scenes is, I mean, it's not like we're doing all the positions in the Kama Sutra and all that, but we have to make it different. How's it going to be filmed? Is it gratuitous? Is it part of the story? There's lots to consider," she told British magazine Shortlist."But that one, pfft, that was sex as a fight. I had bruises all over my body afterwards, and I smacked Sullivan... Oh, you don't need to tell him [to go for it]. He's not scared, he's this big, strong Aussie and he's proud of it. He's a real man. Which made the fact that he had to have the hair on his chest waxed off even funnier."Artemisia is the Achaemenid Queen of Caria. Eva found her alter ego to be a unique character who oozes strength and confidence."God, I mean, she's pretty full-on. First of all, she's a woman at the head of the Navy, which is pretty unusual," Eva mused."She's ballsy and there's something very virile about her; she's gifted with weapons and she's ruthless. She can't tolerate morons or cowards. And she's driven by, and almost blinded by, vengeance."To get into the mind-set of such a driven character Eva had to prepare thoroughly. Being one of the few females in the film the brunette beauty enjoyed the testosterone-filled atmosphere."The sword-fighting, the training - I'd never done that before, so I thought it was a great opportunity. I did proper training with the guys and I loved it," she recalled."It was like being in the Army, but in a good way. I'm not a coordinated person, so it was tough. Sword-fighting is very precise - it's like a dance. I trained for three months."

Copper piping a hot commodity
Updated On: Feb 09 2012 08:36:58 AM CST
Thieves broke into three separate Bucks County homes this week, solely for the purpose of stealing copper piping, police said.
Pennridge Police said they're investigating three residential burglaries which happened in the past three days.
All three houses were in East Rockhill Twp. All three were also unoccupied, and were on the market for sale.
On Monday, someone broke into a house in the 1800 block of Three Mile Run by forcing open a rear door. The burglar stole copper piping from the basement.
Further down the same street, in the 2500 block, burglars broke into another unoccupied house Tuesday. The person gained entrance by breaking out a pane of glass in the front door. Copper piping was taken from the basement., according to police.
Also on Tuesday, someone broke into a house in the 2900 block of Route 313 and stole copper piping from the basement, police said.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact the Pennridge Regional Police Department at 215-257-5104.

|There is a toll for the road from St�ckalp, and it's 12 Franken. IMO, if you're going to Swizzyland for single pitch climbing, you're nuts!
By Dan Flynn
From: MA
Jul 17, 2011
Toll is 7 chf to drive up and park at Melchsee-Frutt, but we couldn't find out how to pay it... camping is possible at several sites on the drive up.
Sure, don't come to Switzerland for the single-pitch climbing, but it sure is fun if you're already here!
Note the grades on the route name placards are UIAA/German, which takes some mental gymnastics...
By Colin Winter
Dec 7, 2011
|Toll (in 2011, gets adjusted every year or two) is CHF 12, but this is only collected during the tourist season - if nobody is standing at the base or the top to collect, you've got nothing to worry about.

Dubai airport guard accused of eating $100 he stole from passenger
Passenger claims suspect put banknote in his mouth and tried to swallow it with water
Dubai: An airport security guard tried to swallow a $100 bill (Dh367) after he was accused of stealing it from a woman's handbag at Dubai International Airport.
The 33-year-old Bangladeshi was said to have stolen the $100 note from an American woman while checking her luggage before she boarded an Emirates flight.
The woman's husband, who is a commercial pilot, spotted the defendant, H.A., taking the money and hiding it in his pocket, the court heard.
Records said when the pilot confronted H.A., he rushed towards the nearest water cooler, crushed the $100 then put it in his mouth and tried to drink and swallow it quickly.
When the defendant appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance, he pleaded not guilty and contended: "While I was searching the passenger's handbag, the banknote fell on the floor. I picked it up and kept it with me to give it back… they busted me in less than one minute."
The American pilot testified that he heard his wife shouting at the defendant and asking him to return the money on June 20.
"My wife saw the defendant dropped the $100 on the ground, and then he bent down and picked it up then put it in his pocket. At first, the defendant claimed that he didn't take any money. I called his supervisor, who searched the suspect and informed me that he didn't find anything in his possession. I insisted on calling the police. Before the police arrived, the suspect said he wanted to drink water… I walked along with him to the water cooler. I saw him chewing when he wanted to drink water… I stopped him immediately. He refused to take out what was in his mouth. One of the airport's security claimed that he saw the defendant removing something from his mouth then placed it in his pocket. Police searched him and found the banknote wrinkly and soaked with saliva," claimed the pilot.
Records said the American dropped his police complaint and travelled with his wife.
A judgment will be heard on March 31.
