LOWELL, Ind. -- A man was killed when a home exploded Monday evening in a remote subdivision surrounded by Northwest Indiana farm country.
An investigation into the cause of the explosion is still in its infancy. So far, however, there has been no cause for suspicion, said Clint Gorball, chief of the Lowell volunteer fire department.
About 7:30 p.m. Monday, over 100 first responders from 12 fire departments descended on the area, which lies just east of Lowell and about 30 miles south of Gary, Ind.
"There was not much left of the house that exploded" when fire crews arrived at the home in the 7100 block of East 181st Avenue, Gorball said.
Shortly before the house exploded the owner contacted a neighbor, who was asked to check on the residence, Gorball said.
That man, believed to be in his 40s, was inside when it exploded, Gorball said. The neighbor, who was not identified by authorities early Tuesday, was killed by the blast.
"There was a neighbor that had entered (the home) at the request of the property owner to check out the house for some unknown reason," Gorball said. No one else was injured.
While fire spread to a neighboring home, miraculously that house and another home were not seriously damaged, said Gorball, who described both residences as "habitable."
"There was a little fire in the house to the west," Gorball said. The "property to the east had some broken windows boarded up."
Because the homes are in an area without fire hydrants, crews had to truck in water. But by about 9:30 p.m. the blaze was under control, Gorball said.
Investigators will return to the scene in the morning to continue their search for a cause.
"We don't have any reason to believe it was suspicious," Gorball said. "But it's too early to really rule anything out."

Singer-songwriter Kim Jones, a native New Yorker, has put down roots in Denver, but if Road Dreams is any indication, she's got traveling on her mind. Several of the CD's tunes deal with voyages of one sort or another, including "Journeymen," which tells the immigration tale of her great-grandparents, and "Let's Sail Away," a title that wasn't chosen at random. Jones's lyrics aren't the freshest around (she relies too heavily on familiar imagery), but she's blessed with a warm, smoky voice and a first-rate group of local accompanists -- producer/keyboardist Lance Bendiksen and Subdudes vet John Magnie head the list -- whose playing is rich and inviting. With better material and a little help from her friends, Jones could be going places.

Following up on my recent post on libraries, digitization, and the advancement of copyright legislation, this article from 2009 details a study of various copyright statements from library members of the Digital Library Federation. Like so many American academic libraries are doing, it is important for Canadian academic libraries to similarly unify their digitial interests and practices in order to effectively influence Canadian copyright legislation.
Making a Statement
In my MLIS class 9001 Perspectives in Information and Library Science, I recently wrote a paper where I argued that individual libraries and librarians need to project a more collaborative voice on copyright legislation. Currently, libraries that undertake large-scale digitization projects are left to independently determine how their digitization practices align within current copyright laws. Despite disparate efforts by various library associations and advocacy groups, there exists no singular, unified stance from the library community on how emerging digital practices fit within the diaphranous language of fair dealing; librarians are left to singularly determine how and if their library's practices comply. As more and more libraries undertake digitization projects in order to make their collections available online, it is essential that these libraries confront potential limitations due to copyright legislation dead-on. I am encouraged by the recent blog entry from the Ohio State University Library's Digital Scholarship @ the Libraries, where their Digital Publishing Librarian has outlined a list of standard copyright statements that can be used with different types of digitized content. Such statements should not be construed as being protectionist, but rather as pro-actively asserting the library's rights providing to information access. It's important for more libraries to follow suit and make similar proactive statements in order to solidify their digitization interests and efforts. When voiced in concert, these statements will send a strong message to copyright legislators and influence future practices by providing language that is more clear and direct. Rather than tip-toeing around current legislation, librarians can boldly reformulate copyright and fair dealing language that better aligns with digital information and the future of information access.
Follow the Leader
For new librarians trying find how our interests and voices fit within the profession, it may seem much too early to start thinking about taking on leadership roles at this early stage of our careers. Often considered to be analogous with "management", considering to take on a leadership behaviours may seem to be "too much too soon" for many new librarians. However, there is actually a distinct difference between being a manager and being a leader, and in fact, neither should be considered to be off-limits for new librarians. Regardless of age and experience, new librarians entering the workforce have the advantage of intensively eating, sleeping, and breathing library and information science-related discourse while pursuing their degree. Compared to many practising librarians, new LIS grads are often more immersed in and attuned to current trends, developments, and practices relevant to libraries and information institutions today. Because of this, new professionals entering librarianship actually have a meaningful edge over more "experienced" librarians. As valuable experts in their field, recent LIS grads must seize every leadership opportunity made available to them.
In terms of distinction from managerial positions, being a leader is more about asserting certain practices or behaviours within your particular role as a librarian, as opposed to the hierarchical management of others. Usually, the difference lies in inputs rather than outcomes. As Naomi House implies in the INALJ blog, leadership on a basic level involves the simple alignment of expertise and ideas, while having the confidence to assert these when working in a collegial environment. It is important not to undermine the value of both your knowledge and experience when working in collaboration with more experienced librarians. When working on committees, workshops, and even when performing your day-to-day work, meaningfully projecting your voice in small ways, every day, can allow others to take notice of you and your leadership potential. It is essential to not be afraid to put yourself "out there", despite any initial fears you may have of experiencing failure or judgement from your colleagues. When done constructively and confidently, others will soon recognize your value and begin seeking you out for your input and opinions.
For many introverted librarians however, the initial step of putting yourself and ideas "out there" may be a huge challenge. When working in a new environment with new people, it may seem extremely difficult to speak up in group settings. Often, it is all too easy to defer to the opinions of more experienced colleagues rather than taking the bold step of offering up your own informed ideas. But this is not to say that introverted librarians can't be effective leaders… Perhaps we just require a little more internal coaching and self-encouragement to get the ball rolling. Susan Cain's book and TedTalk Quiet: The Power of Introverts, as well as her blog, speak to the ways in which introverts can assert themselves as leaders in a world that seems to revolve around extroverted individuals. Stimulated by internal and conscious reflection, introverts as leaders can aid in balancing the dynamics of workplace collaboration by taking the first crucial step of putting themselves "out there".
In the end, whether introverted or extroverted, displaying effective leadership behaviours requires a cooperative exchange of ideas as colleagues work toward a common goals. When put into practice, it is the input of leaders that develops into tangible managerial-guided outputs.
All packed up and ready to go!
Hello! This blog, created for one of my first term Masters of Information Library Science courses at Western University, will be the home to my impressions and musings of my year away from life and work in Ottawa. My trek from being a Library Technician at Carleton University to becoming a Librarian (i.e. librariantrekker) is one that has been years in the making, and as I've finally arrived in London to achieve my goal of obtaining an MLIS degree, I'll post the ups and downs and in-betweens of my experience pursuing my degree, as well as interesting (hopefully!) articles, links, and other things surrounding my interest in academic libraries specifically and Librarianship more broadly.
So come along with me on this trek, won't you? Let's see where this next year will take us!

Gucci Mane claims that Chief Keef has the spot in Brick Squad that Waka Flocka Flame left open.
Chief Keef has reportedly filled Waka Flocka Flame's spotin 1017 Brick Squad.
Gucci Mane, while currently paroled from an aggravated assualt trial, welcomed the Glory Boyz Entertainment/Interscope Records artist Chief Keef to the fold on Twitter today, as reported by RapRadar.com.
In the tweet, Gucci also included a logo of 1017 Glo Gang, which is a hybrid of both artists' imprints.
Brick Squad, which is both a group and a record label, includes OJ Da Juiceman, Young Scooter and Wooh Da Kid.
Besides Gucci, the label's biggest star was Atlantic/Warner Bros. Records artist Waka Flocka Flame.
In early March, Waka, who owns Brick Squad Monopoly was outed by 1017 Brick Squad, allegedly following a verbal dispute between he and Gucci Mane.
Yesterday, Gucci Mane revealed that he will reveal Trap House III later this month, on May 21—over six weeks earlier than planned.
Last year, Chicago, Illinois-based Chief Keef signed with Interscope before releasing his studio debut,Finally Rich.
The effort debuted in the Top 30 of the charts, selling approximately 50,000 units.

1017 Brick Squad Records is a record label founded by Gucci Mane after his departure from Mizay Entertainment and the closing of So Icey Entertainment. The label is also home to artists such as OJ Da Juiceman, Waka Flocka Flame, Chief Keef, Wooh Da Kid, Young Scooter, and Young Dolph among others. 1017 Brick Squad Records also has a subsidiary that was started by Waka Flocka Flame named, Brick Squad Monopoly.
The label has released studio albums by Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame, including their collaboration album Ferrari Boyz. The two main artists are currently involved in a feud. Waka Flocka Flame has said they will never make music, or do business together again.

Amazon fuses LoveFilm, subs service, calls it Prime Instant Video
60% rise for delivering stuff I don't think so
I have been using prime since it started in the UK and buy more stuff because of it.
I think its good value and would be happy to pay more, but not £80.
I am not interested in LoveFilm poor platform coverage, poor content and not worth the monthly subscription.
So have turned off my automatic renewal of the prime service, hopefully if enough people do this them Amazon will get the message that this is a stupid product bundle.
UK spooks STILL won't release Bletchley Park secrets 70 years on
Re: In the 70's
I think the pop count was missing from the original VAX 11/780 running VAX VMS V1.0, however version 2.0 of VMS came with a new set of CPU boards which included pop count.
Windows Blue preview to land at end of June
How different it could have been
I think if Windows 8 had maintained compatibility with the existing Windows 7 desktop, but also offered the "Metro" desktop as an alternative. Nobody would have hesitated to upgrade.
Also I note all this guff about Windows 8 is doing great "look at our sales of Windows 8 licences" is because the only Enterprise license you can buy today is a Windows 8 license. So if your going to deploy 2000 Windows 7 desktops, you need to buy 2000 Windows 8 licenses.
Behold ATLAS, the fastest computer of 50 years ago
Atlas Virtual memory never catch on
I joined the University of London Computer Centre (ULCC) in about 1972, which had moved on from Atlas to Control Data 6400, 6600 and 7600. Most of the people I worked with had worked on Atlas.
I understand that many of the patents from Atlas passed eventually to ICL, who let the Atlas patent laps on Virtual memory, after all with machine memory then getting as big as 32K, why would you need it.
In 1978 the VAX 11/780 with a massive 128K of memory supporting 12 interactive users re-introduced us to Virtual Paged memory, and I suspect never paid a dollar in royalties for Virtual Memory usage.
UK High Court split over Twitter airport bomb joke
There is a time and a place
This reminds me of the Oil worker flying in to Algeria. When asked by airport security if he had a criminal record, he replied "I didn't know it was a requirement".
It took him 6 more hours to gain entry to the country.
Satnav blunders blamed for £200m damages
Turn Right!
I was driving down the M4 when some 10 miles from any junction my Garmin announced "Turn Right!", given that option would have required me driving into the crash barrier I ignored it. It then went into a "recalculating" and proceeded to allow me to continue on the motorway.
I think it was board!
Bah, humbug! Virgin Media censors Charles D**kens
Automated smut filters
I had a problem in trying to book into a London hotel from my US HQ. The confirmation kept being dumped by the smut filter. It was so bad that it went straight in the bin without notifying me that it had been filtered.
This happened when I sent the confirmation from my personal system to the company system. In the end we captured the very dirty message and indeed it was just a hotel booking confirmation. It turned out that the designer of the WEB site had named all the image files used to render the pictures of the hotel TIT001.jpg and by the time the smut filter got to TIT003.jpg it was just too many T*Ts for it to take.
BBC iPlayer to require TV licence

If you could just go to web site enter your license details, and download a digital certificate allowing you to watch TV the BBC could rid itself of all the geo location stuff as it knows its sending its programmes to a license payer

DEC: The best of systems, the worst of systems
VAX - Just how wrong can you be
Interesting that you should consider VAX not Gordon's best work, and lacks elegance. Well as somebody who wrote device drivers for DEC in the first days of the VAX and for 10 years on PDP 11 I for one consider the VAX some of Gordon's best work.
While the PDP had an elegant instruction set you still wrote code for the hardware.
The major step forward on the VAX was that the hardware was designed for the operating system. Take a look at how the Exchange/Jump instructions work and you will find hardware that automatically dumped process context onto the stack or the process header. Suddenly when you called a subroutine/function the interface was through a hardware instruction that put the calling parameters into a frame on the call stack. The hardware was so integrated with the software that when we upgraded from VMS 1.0 to 2.0 we changed all the CPU boards.
Next lets look at Virtual memory, in 1978 we were in an office with 8 users running all the packet network development code, with one 11/780 which had 256K of memory. It was still quicker than we got from our 11/70 running RSX-11M+.
The VAX took DEC from a small computer company to a monolith that didn't know how to spend its money. There are many reasons to show why DEC got it wrong, but VAX/VMS was not one of them.
Though the PDP 11 was my first love after programming a CDC 6600, VAX/VMS was spectacular with an instruction set that made high level languages obsolete. It was only later when we returned to MIPS/INTEL/RISC/ALPHA hardware, that we lost the wonders of the 11/780 instruction set.
Why you can't move a mainframe with a cloud
selling the cloud
Back in the early 90's I was trying to sell the benefits of Microsoft and Unix servers to Legal and General.
The IT manager listened to my pitch and agreed that it was the way to go, but it will never replace the mainframe.
Asking why not he said "Simple the mainframe heats the swimming pool".

Star Wars set for 3D rehash
The Crew will be happy
I have a friend who was a senior member of the crew on an early Star Wars movie. As I understand that every time they re-release the movie the cast and crew receive the same pay they got for the first movie. This will make a nice retirement bonus.
Feds crack phone clone scam that cost Sprint $15m
Its easy
I filled my car up on the M4 in Reading and paid by credit card. I then drove to White Waltham in Maidenhead and flew a private plane to Northern France. When I tried to pay for lunch on the same credit card I was told it was refused.
Later in the day I got a call from the credit card company to say somebody had tried to use my card in Northern France after use in Reading. I said yes it was me. I was told it was impossible for me to have been in Reading at 8:00am and Northern France by 1:00pm so I explained.
I was not unhappy that they refused my card, just used another one, but was very impressed with the fact that they noticed that a transaction was suspect.
So if credit card companies can do it why not Cell phone Networks.

Cutbacks strip speed cameras from Blighty's roads
Swindon still likes its mobile speed traps
Last year the speed limit on our local road was dropped from 40mph to 30mph despite there having been no accidents on this stretch of road recorded.
The reason was to protect children walking to school, thats fair, but they changed the limit about three months before knocking down the school.
Now, because of the hill into town every week we see a mobile speed camera setup on a motorbike which is part of the Swindon camera partnership.
In fact these guys appear to be getting very good at finding target rich environments for speeding motorists.

BBC Online to be scaled back, budget cut by a quarter
news.bbc.co.uk international edition
I fail to understand why when your outside the UK (or inside on a none UK network) you are delivered an International(USA) version of the BBC news website.
Why can't the BBC news site just be one version, the UK one.
BBC chief acknowledges DAB flop & internet radio
Internet Radio
I listen to Internet radio via my Logetech Squeezbox, specifically 6 music. In fact I see no reason why all radio cannot be delivered in this way.
Add to that that using the internet its possible to go beyond stereo to 5.1 surround sound.
I think the reason that the BBC hasn't moved to real sound broadcast on the internet is because it would kill DAB stone dead.
BCS votes to keep spending secret
This is not going to end well
The way that this is going is not good for the BCS or its members.
I can imagine in future going to an interview and being asked "Are you or have you ever been a member of the BCS", in the style of the McCarthy communist hearings in the US.
Maybe it would be better to make it a secret society.

ISP condemns new BT backbone
21CN just hope they make the deadline
Microsoft has leaned that calling products by their year of issue can cause problems when you end up shipping in the last months of the year.
I just hope that BT manage to ship 21CN in the 21st century.
Yes our local exchange was going to be upgraded in 2009, but alas we are still connected to 20CN.
I don't think A&A are doing this as a PR stunt, reading their status page you get an impression that the 21CN upgrade is constantly producing major BT outages, which BT consider acceptable collateral damage by changing the rules by which an ISP can report line latency faults.
BT appear to be taking the view that once they have performed an upgrade of an exchange that as long as everybody is still connected then "thats good enough for government work" even if new subscribers to 21CN may be worse off than being connected to 20CN.

ToryDems add up bill for Labour's ID scheme
Customer interview
"So what exactly is it you want"
Well we want an id card so we can easily identify a UK citizen.
"Ok that's easy photo id should come out at about £30 per user"
Well I wondered if we could add some other stuff on the card, say with a smart chip?
"Yes that's easy we use them for banks so no real problem, what exactly do you want?"
Well we want a digital photo, retinal image data, finger print, DNA id, social security number, address, date of birth, ethnic origin, Police National Computer Id, HMRC Id, driving license number, bank account details, employment status, security clearance and if possible twitter id, facebook id and recent google search data.
"That may be difficult without a central database."
OK lets have a central database that draws all this data together so that we can really identify our UK citizen.
What do you think thats going to cost?
"Well lets start with a ball park of £20K per card.
Striking workers will curb network upgrades, claims BT
Will anybody notice?
The description of the service during the strike sounds exactly the service we get now.
Our local Exchange is set for upgrade in Q4 2009 but no update on when this will actually happen.
Next door recently asked BT to take down their phone line, from the pole across the street while building work took place, which they did, but BT refused to reconnect them as they said that the pole was below legal height.
When I had broadband put in by BT the engineer after climbing the same pole told me that there was a line fault on one of the poles in the street, but as he was an installation engineer he was only allowed to look at the pole linked to the property. We then had to wait for "Poles" to arrive so they could check out the poles in the street. When this failed to find a fault we then had to wait for another engineer to go into the street box. By the end of the day 6 different BT vans and lorries had visited.

Blunkett threatens to sue for £30 ID card refund
Hang on a minute
I bet that David Blunket got his card, along with other members of the then great and the good, as part of the initial roll out.
I bet no £30 changed hands in order for him to get his card.
So first I would like "proof of purchase" , if not then.....
His assertion that he will sue for his 30 quid back is obtaining money by false pretences.
Which is standard on last years Members of Parliament.

What is the response, one aircraft hastily fitted with sensors that flew 4 flights the first of which didn't even find the cloud as they were using Met office data as to where it would be.
Meanwhile the Met office dust off some software they developed in 1986 to track fallout.
Well I suppose we are lucky that the cloud of ash wasn't radioactive this time, otherwise the whole country would be shut by the Met office.
Sony's PS3 firmware update shows how retailers can be exposed
This is only going to get worse
While I wonder how many users are using the "Linux" capability, I do know that for a friend of mine it was the "tipping point" in his buying decision. Something like well the kids can play games and if I want I can run Linux on it.
The interesting problem for any supplier is that Amazon, if the story is true, do appear to have put a £80 price tag on the loss of this functionality, and as such have opened the flood gates for anybody owning this particular PS3 to go get their refund from their supplier. Clearly if everybody who own one of these get their £80 pounds back companies like Amazon will extract their losses from Sony.
Their is a worry that as more consumer goods get wired up to the "INTERNET" to get "the latest update" the product you bought will change. Some of this is going to be good, like since the firmware update my washing machine will open the door at the end of the wash cycle. Some will be bad like my Sony TV will no longer receive BBC1 Watchdog as its considered a security risk by Sony.
While I do feel that in this case the manufacturers product functional description have proved as solid as a Labour Party Manifesto. I also feel that the consumer should have some direct recourse to the manufacturer if he feels that the product as sold has been "damaged" by a software update.

Guy will be greatly missed because he actually knew what he was writing about.
Manchester's on fire for ID cards, claims ID minister
Give me a reason to have one
I had a meeting with my solicitor the other day and before we could start he needed two forms of iD. Passport, Driving License and/or a utility bill.
Passport yes I have one.
Driving License....paper one no use.
Utility bill....that was difficult as most are online, but luckly the water rates are still stuck in the 20th century and use dead tree format.
UK ID card........not an option. Solicitor's view if you've got one its probably a forgery.
UK pol touts canine chip implants
Dog ID cards
Yes totally agree that all dogs should have an id chip.
But as the owner of three flatcoats who once greeted a "burglar" that climbed in through a downstairs window with their favourite soft toys, to play with, I am not happy with 3rd party Insurance, just see it as a "Labour Dog Tax".
Also as one of our dogs is a registered "Pets as Therapy" dog, who spends her time visiting old people's homes, one wonders what her liability is.
BBC protects 'unique' 1Xtra listeners from radio cull

I just hope that the when they call the fired contractor who is the only person who knows how to make this system works he charges the £100K for the days work it takes to put it back online.
Brings back memories
When I worked with RBS in the late 90's the only way you could get data into or out of the "Mainframe" was via connect direct.
This would suggest that the Connect Direct service(server) fell over on the MF and no other system could feed it or drink from it.

Cleaning out super-exploitation

Cleaning workers throughout South Africa have been on strike since Monday 8 August. They are demanding a living wage of R4 200 per month, as well as a 13th cheque and shorter hours.
Cleaning out super-exploitationBy James Pendlebury, ZACF
How can the most harshly exploited workers fight back against the bosses? Cleaning workers throughout South Africa have been on strike since Monday 8 August. They are demanding a living wage of R4 200 per month, as well as a 13th cheque and shorter hours.
Many of these workers are now paid R2 000 per month or even less, and work under the harshest conditions. The vast majority are black, and a great many are women; their supervisors are often racist and sexist bullies of the worst kind. They are frequently compelled to use dangerous chemicals, without even the protection of gloves; these chemicals can make them sick, and some have died as a result. In last months talks, employers initially offered a 6% wage increase, subsequently raised to 8%. This means just another R160 to workers who are getting paid R2 000. On top of this, cleaners have often had difficulty joining unions to protect them. A big problem is that many are outsourced. They work in private companies, government offices, hospitals, universities anywhere that needs cleaning. But the institutions where they work are frequently not their direct employers: rather, the institution hires a cleaning company such as Supercare or Impact, which employs workers at miserable wages.
A typical story is that of the cleaners at Wits University. Before 2000, Wits employed its cleaners directly at a wage of about R2 000 per month. In 2000, Wits outsourced cleaning, gardening, catering and other support services. It retrenched 613 workers; those cleaners who were re-employed by Supercare received a monthly wage of R1 000 (with inflation-linked wage increases, this had risen to about R2 000 by 2011). These workers also lost many benefits, including free tuition at Wits for their children. Wits management outsourced its workers to reduce its wage bill and to weaken their organisation. The workers were transferred to four different outsourcing companies, and the number of firms has grown. Instead of bargaining together for their wages with one employer, they were broken up to fight four different companies. Nehawu, the main union that had represented the workers at Wits, was completely defeated in the fight against retrenchments, lost most of its members on campus, and has never recovered. Companies like Supercare constantly threaten any workers who join unions or try to organise, and try to ban meetings at the workplace. By dividing workers and preventing organisation, they keep workers frightened and keep wages low. Similarly to labour brokers, that is why these companies exist in the first place. Nonetheless, the cleaning workers have succeeded in organising a national strike, and have held out for more than two weeks so far, sticking to their demands. Yet even so, the strike in many ways reflects the division and weakness of the workers. This was shown when the SA Transport and Allied Workers Union accepted managements 8% offer on 28 August, completely betraying the demands of workers, and leaving the other seven unions seriously weakened. With more unions selling out, even those that remain have been compelled to call off the strike from Monday 12 September not to accept the bosses offer, but to ask the state to settle the matter. On past experience, it is quite likely that the state will favour the bosses, now that the workers greatest weapon of the strike has failed. Why do such betrayals and defeats happen; why do they happen so often?
Unfortunately, most unions today are controlled not by their members but by highly paid bureaucrats who spend more time talking to the bosses than hearing from ordinary workers. All too often, they try to end strikes and make peace with the enemy; they are prepared to accept smaller offers from the bosses in order to stop the strike quickly. Involving more bureaucrats increases the danger.
Another source of weakness and disunity is the fact that the cleaners are striking alone and here, too, outsourcing is a great weapon for the bosses. A strong union is a union that brings together all the workers in each workplace, each company, each industry, so that when the cleaners strike, they are joined by the drivers and the machinists and the clerical workers. This would hit the bosses that much harder. But here, not only are the cleaners striking alone, but thanks to outsourcing they are not even striking against the same bosses!
And on top of that, the bosses have brought in their favourite weapon: scab labour. Its hard to tell where the scabs are coming from, but they are easy to find for jobs like cleaning. All the bosses need to do is head for the townships, find some unemployed people on the street, offer them a couple of days work. Class consciousness in South Africa today is not strong; many people do not realise how far scab labour weakens the working class.
The one thing that can prevent the employment of scabs is for striking workers to stay on the premises. Solid and permanent picket lines outside are almost as good, but sit-down strikes are even better. If strikers are always ready to toyi-toyi when scabs appear, who is going to scab? Such actions would be illegal but the law is there for the bosses, not the workers. This, too, is a problem with union bureaucrats: they live by negotiating and reasoning with the bosses, so they dont want to break the bosses laws. If the workers controlled their own unions, and knew who their enemies were, they need have no such scruples.
At Wits, there have been some steps in the right direction. This year, the Wits Workers Solidarity Committee has united workers from many outsourcing companies with a small group of Wits students, academics and support staff. The committee has already won one victory: it has forced the resignation of Ian Armitage, a racist Wits manager tasked with dealing with outsource workers, and known for insulting them as k*****s. This has raised the fighting spirit of the workers as it has never been since 2000. And now the committee is campaigning against scabs, calling for their removal from campus. Wits management has been compelled to acknowledge the right of students to speak to scabs and try to persuade them to stop what they are doing. Students have taken action to make a mess on campus, making things harder for the scabs. But this is still too little. How much more could be done if all working-class students joined this campaign? How much more if striking workers were on campus all the time?
This strike is in danger: from many divisions among workers, from union bureaucrats, from scabs. The strike might have been won if workers held firm, if they extended their actions and sought ways to enter the workplaces, if they watched their leaders closely to prevent more sellout deals. But how much further could workers go? The Wits Solidarity Committee aims to force the university to end outsourcing and re-employ workers directly. This will end one major division, and open the way to end others.
All workers and students at Wits all workers in any workplace should be united into one big union, facing the bosses as a single great force. Such a union should be controlled not by its bosses but by its members, held together by our common needs and common power as the working class. And One Big Union can bring together all workplaces, all sectors, can reach even beyond the workplace, can bring together employed and unemployed to put an end to scabbing. Such a union, strengthened by an anarchist understanding of the workers cause and the workers power, can, in the end, be our weapon to smash the oppressor, to remove the bosses, to put an end to exploitation once and for all.

Statement by the Anti-Government-in-Exile of Wits University 15:49 Thu 08 Sep 0 comments
Beginning on Sunday 28 August, Wits students have been littering parts of campus in solidarity with the cleaners strike. Cleaners throughout South Africa are demanding a living wage of R4 200 per month: this compares with less than R2 000 paid to cleaners at Wits, who are employed by outsourcing companies such as Supercare. The strike has been undermined, at Wits and elsewhere, by the presence of scab labour; Wits management and the outsourcing companies are striving for business as usual. This undermines the entire purpose of the strike, which is to compel exploiter-managers to meet workers demands by withdrawing their labour, by preventing the job from getting done by making sure the campus is not clean.

Conditions for Workers in South Africa 16:44 Tue 31 May 0 comments
t is common amongst bosses to prefer workers coming from countries that are torn by civil wars or famine. This is because they do away with any responsibilities to cover for workers' health if exposed to health risk scenarios while working. Because these people are not citizens, the country's labour laws do not count for them. That way the bosses don't have to worry about precautionary equipment and measures expected by governmental labour standards
Alternative Needed to Nationalisation and Privatisation Feb 28 1 comments
Privatisation the transfer of functions and industry to the private sector is widely and correctly rejected on the left and in the working class. Privatisation leads only to higher prices, less and worse jobs, and worse services. Given this, some view nationalisation the transfer of economic resources (e.g. mines, banks, and factories) to state ownership and control as a rallying cry for a socialist alternative. This article argues that nationalisation has never removed capitalism, nor led to socialism, and it certainly does not have a demonstrable record of consistently improving wages, jobs, rights and safety. This article appeals to progressive working class forces to look instead to another way:collectivisation from below, where industry is placed under direct workers self-management, subject to worker-community participatory democratic planning and control to meet human needs and end oppression, in a universal human community.
Reaping what you sow: reflections on the Western Cape farm workers strike Feb 09 0 comments
The series of strikes and protests that recently took place in and around farms in South Africas Western Cape Province was fuelled by the deep-seated anger and frustration that workers feel. On a daily basis, farm workers face not only appalling wages, bad living conditions and precarious work, but also widespread racism, intimidation and humiliation. The extent of the oppressive conditions run deep and it is not uncommon for workers to even be beaten by farm-owners and managers for perceived transgressions. Indeed, life for workers in the rural areas has always been harsh, but over the last two decades it has in many ways gotten even worse and poverty has in many cases grown.

Build a Better Workers Movement: learning from South Africas 2010 mass strike Jul 11 0 comments
The biggest single strike since the 1994 parliamentary transition in South Africa showed the unions power. It won some wage gains, but it threw away some precious opportunities. We need to celebrate the strike, while learning some lessons: the need for more union democracy the need to use strikes to link workers and communities the need for working class autonomy the need to act outside and against the state the need to review our positions: against the Tripartite Alliance, for anarcho-syndicalism
The 2010 Mass Strike in the State Sector, South Africa: Positive Achievements but Serious Problems Dec 26 0 comments
The August-September 2010 mass strike in the South African state sector demonstrated remarkable working class unity across racial and ideological lines, as 1.3 million workers of all colours stopped work for four weeks despite severe economic recession. The strikers' determination reflected growing frustration with low wages and at the glaring political corruption and enrichment of the elite, plus the drive - by African, coloured and Indian workers specifically - to attain living conditions breaking decisively with the oppression and immiseration of the apartheid past. Yet the strikers' partial victory was tarnished by tactics that divided strikers from the larger working class - notably, hospital disruptions - and a failure to raise demands that linked union and community struggles against both neo-liberalism and the apartheid legacy. The top-down manner whereby the strike was ended makes workers cynical about their own unions, demonstrating the alarming bureaucratisation and centralisation that has arisen, in large part, due to union leaders being enmeshed in the African National Congress (the neo-liberal governing party) and state industrial relations machinery. Unions should re-orientate towards other working class movements, outside and against the state, to fight for a libertarian and socialist transformation, from below. The ideas of anarcho-syndicalism - raised at the 2009 COSATU Congress - provide a useful starting point.

A man accused of shooting a Good Samaritan who foiled a robbery at a Caroline County truck stop has been arrested in Richmond.
Caroline County Sheriff Tony Lippa says 31-year-old Warren Harold Brown was charged Wednesday night with attempted capital murder, aggravated malicious wounding, attempted robbery and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Police have said a man tried to rob a Mr. Fuel in Carmel Church on May 8. A customer walked to the rear of the store, got two beer bottles and struck the suspect in the back of the head.
The customer struggled with the suspect, who in turn shot him several times. The customer didn't suffer life-threatening injuries.

A busy January schedule comes to an end with a Premier League home game against Cardiff City on Tue 28 Jan, KO 7.45pm which has a special twist. The 'baby faced assassin' Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will return to the Theatre of Dreams as newly appointed Cardiff City Manager.
Ole cemented himself as a Red legend after scoring the winning goal in injury time of the 1999 UEFA Champions League final against Bayern Munich to win the Treble for United. In his first game in charge of Cardiff he inspired his team to a win against Newcastle United in similar fashion when his 2 substitutes both scored to complete the comeback.
When the sides last met back in November, Cardiff managed a late equalizer against the Reds so the stage is definitely set for a fiery game at Old Trafford.
Tickets are now sold out for this game.

November 23, 2014
DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) - Autopsies are planned for three North Dakota college softball players found dead inside a Jeep that was discovered submerged in a rural farm pond.
Their bodies were found Tuesday, and investigators plan to hold a news conference Wednesday morning.
Investigators believe the Dickinson State University students were on a stargazing trip when two of their friends received distress calls Sunday night. One of the women said the trio was near a lake and water before the call went dead.
The players were identified as 22-year-old Kyrstin Gemar of San Diego; 20-year-old Afton Williamson of Lake Elsinore, Calif.; and 21-year-old Ashley Neufeld of Brandon, Manitoba.
Police don't suspect foul play. The deaths are still under investigation.
