Ultra tough screen protector shields iPhones from hammer smashes
Apple's iPhone 4S might not survive a shot in the face with a sniper rifle, but it's good to know that with this tough-as-balls screen protector, Sir Jonathan Ive's finest mobile creation yet can take a hammer to its screen like The Hulk without any bruisings.
Scratch and dust proof, BUFF Labs' iPhone Screen Protector is probably the strongest screen protector on Earth. Made from premium silocon adhesives, BUFF's screen guard has four shock-absorbing layers — one that, well, absorbs the shock, the second which disperses the shock, and the other two which aid only in applying it on your iPhone.
There's even an iPad version of the screen protector. Go watch this video of a guy cracking walnuts with a hammer on his iPad. It's mind-boggling.
Well played BUFF, well played. The only kicker is that the $20 to $30 screen shields aren't available in the U.S. as Buff Labs operates only in Asia. There's always eBay!
Now you really have no excuse to cover up that iPhone 4S with an ugly case (boy are there a ton of 'em out there).

Our night club proves why Edinburgh really is a Jekyll & Hyde city! Half of the club was once part of the infamous "underground Vaults" -once the haunt of criminals, thieves and the very unsavoury. It was in these former slums that many poor and innocent met a very grisly end! Ironically right next door, the front of the club; was once home to one of the richest men in Edinburgh, Lord Nicol Edwards.
Wherever you choose to sit back, relax and enjoy your drink, remember to be very careful. Many have placed their drink down simply to watch it slide straight off the table and smash against a wall as if thrown by an unseen force!
One spirit many of the male staff fear is that of "The Banshee". When refurbishing the pub a group of workmen believed they all heard a terrifying scream. A few hours later, one of the workmen received a phone call informing him that a family member had passed away.
Dine With The Dead
There is nothing like The Banshee Labyrinth. Auld Reekie Ghost tours end here, we have a terrifyingly delicious spooky food menu, we have 3 bars currently selling over 60 varieties of rum, we have a pool table room, amazingly we have a free cinema with updated listings every week and we sell popcorn and hotdogs, every night you arrive will bring a new experience, from open mic, to fetish clubs and thrash metal bands playing in any of our 7 rooms until 3am every night.
Come check out our brand new BAR 13 and fully refurbished Chambers Events Room that has been expanded to accommodate a bigger stage and more viewing space. We really are proud of these two new assets to The Banshee Labyrinth Experience.
We are based in the centre of Edinburghs Old town just a few steps from the Royal Mile; Why not check out our little sister pub in Edinburghs New Town, The Black Rose Tavern – the coolest rock bar in town! With Live Music, Djs, Open Mic and and the infamous Rock Karaoke, the Black Rose is again an all round Rock Entertainment venue with something different happening every night of the week and some of the best food in town.

AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Stephen Strasburg had hitters flailing at curveballs for seven scoreless innings. The pitch got him all eight of his strikeouts. One batter even had his helmet fly off while trying to chase a low-and-away bender.
It was another gem of a performance gone to waste for the Washington Nationals ace. Strasburg said afterward he no longer wanted to hear about the lack of run support, but the only people who can stop the talk are his own teammates, who failed him again Tuesday night in a 4-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
"You know, I'm tired of talking about that," he said. "These guys battle every single day, just like I do, and it just didn't work out for us tonight. But I'd like to get over that. I'd like to stop answering questions about run support."
Strasburg's ERA dropped to 2.24 and nearly overshadowed the game's actual outcome. He was done after seven innings and 105 pitches, and Juan Francisco's two-run double in the eighth started a scoring spree off Drew Storen (2-2) as the Brewers snapped a six-game losing streak.
"That's the first time I've really seen him live -- so explosive fastball, really ridiculous curveball," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke, giving his Strasburg review. "You don't see too many curveballs like that."
The Nationals had scored 23 runs in their previous two games, but they've now been shut out nine times this season. To get an idea of the their lack of support for Strasburg, here is the running tally of earned runs he's allowed in his last nine starts: 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0. His record during that stretch? Just 3-2.
"I think when a guy throws like that, he should be able to win," Nationals left fielder Bryce Harper said.
But he didn't. Francisco got the big hit off Storen and scored when Martin Maldonado hit a warning track fly ball that popped out of Harper's glove. It was ruled a double but Harper said simply: "I dropped it."
Maldonado then scored on Jeff Bianchi's groundball single that got through the infield only because Maldonado was trying to steal third with an absurd jump off Storen, who still hasn't figured out how to hold men on base.
"Fall behind these guys," Storen said, "give them something to hit and they're going to take care of it. ... I made mistakes not holding the runners and fell behind guys."
The earned runs were the first allowed by Storen in 10 appearances, and they made Jim Henderson (3-2) the winning pitcher. Brewers starter Wily Peralta had his own shutout in the making until he left during the sixth inning with a strained left hamstring. Henderson was one of four relievers who finished the eight-hitter.
Roenicke said he's hoping Peralta's tight hamstring was simply the result of a lack of fluid on a humid day.
"We're hoping in a couple days he'll be all right," Roenicke said.
The curve was Strasburg's go-to pitch Tuesday against a meager Brewers starting nine that has only 31 home runs combined. Amaris Ramirez's helmet went flying when he swung at a low-and-outside strike three in the second inning, and his juggling right-handed catch of his headgear was the only thing impressive about his at-bat.
Maldonado couldn't quite check his swing at a similar pitch to end the inning. In the third, Strasburg froze Peralta with a bender that hardly seemed fair to throw to an opposing pitcher. Rickie Weeks struck out going after a low-and-away curve in the fourth, and Peralta did the same in the fifth. With the bases loaded and one out in the sixth, Strasburg got a called third strike on Francisco on a curveball that was maybe a bit outside, then got Sean Halton on the now-familiar low-and-away curve, with Halton unable to check the swing.
Strasburg allowed three hits. Two never left the infield, and one appeared to result from a bad call at first on a grounder to the hole by Norichika Aoki.
He was hardly facing the most imposing lineup in the majors. The Brewers started without shortstop Jean Segura and center fielder Carlos Gomez, who have 196 hits combined. Both have nagging injuries that need some rest, a thumb for Segura and a shoulder for Gomez. Also, team RBI leader Jonathan Lucroy didn't start because Maldonado usually catches Peralta.
It was a lineup that couldn't do much -- until Strasburg left the game.

CapLinked extends its Series A to $2.1M, adding more financial community advocates
Six months after announcing a $1.6 million Series A round, cloud-based Virtual Data Room startup CapLinked revealed today that it has since expanded that round to a total of $2.1 million. Newly added investors include Conversion Capital, Inflection Ventures, The Artesian Group, Google software engineering manager Chris Harris, and former AccessDNA founder Lee Essener. The group joins existing investors FF Angel, Siemer Ventures, 500 Startups, Peter Thiel, and Yammer founder David Sachs, among others, bringing the company's total financing to $3 million.
CapLinked takes what is typically an ugly and inefficient, yet overpriced software category and makes it both more beautiful and more affordable. Not bad as far as value propositions go. The company's target clients are VC and private equity firms, investment banks, M&A advisory firms, law firms, corporate development departments, and anyone else regularly managing complicated business and financial transactions.
In these instances, it is typical for hundreds of documents to be shared between multiple affiliated parties. And while typical cloud storage platforms can handle the accessibility and organization aspects, they fall woefully short in terms of offering the level of granular permission setting, access tracking, and security necessary in this heavily regulated environment.
The existing generation of virtual data room solutions can cost upwards of thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollar per month – often charging by the page and the number of individuals granted access – making them impractical for all but the largest and most price insensitive buyers. CapLinked is roughly one tenth of the cost, despite offering a more modern and user-friendly solution.
Business intelligence firm IBIS World predicts that VDR industry sales will grow to nearly $730 million in 2013, with the vast majority of the industry's revenue currently going to IntraLinks, Merrill Datasite, and RR Donnelly's Venue. These legacy companies are prisoners of the innovator's dilemma and have resisted nearly all technological and business model progress for fear of losing out on their existing cash cows.
The three year old startup has hundreds of thousands of users and has managed tens of billions of dollars in transactional value to date. Publicly named customers include Thomson Reuters, NextView Ventures, RezVen Ventures, Sun Capital, and Turnstone Real Estate, among others. The company's growth prospects are both enhanced and potentially hindered hindered by the "smallness" and incestual nature of the finance industry. When something catches on and becomes the industry standard it can spread virally in a hurry. But it can be equally difficult to break through when an existing solution is deeply entrenched.
CapLinked will benefit not only from the additional capital, but from the strategic value of its newly added investors. Because the company is in the rare position to raise capital from among its target customers, each new backer is another industry advocate. The company arguably has the best solution in the market today. The challenge going forward is for CapLinked to refine and scale its customer acquisition engine push it across the tipping point of mass market adoption.
- CapLinkedSecure documents & workflow for deals and projects
CapLinked enables enterprises to speed up the closing process for complex deals while mitigating risk.
• Deals close faster thanks to workflow-optimizing, highly configurable tools that enhance the productivity of all parties involved in a transaction. • Risk is mitigated through embedded analytics tools that monitor deal progress while providing a complete audit trail. • Minimalistic user interface makes it easy to manage complex deals & upload large numbers of files into project workspaces. • Proprietary API to integrate with third-party systems and highly configurable settings allow clients to create customizable workflow.

After the long winter we had, many of us are aching for a more tan appearance. Bronzer is a great temporary quick fix but can easily be misused and look super unnatural. There are a few tricks to finding the right shade of bronzer for our complexion and how to apply it to look most natural, and makeup Goddess Lisa Eldridge shows us how!
[via Lisa Eldridge]
I absolutely adore Lisa and this beautiful, simple bronze look she demos. Personally, my favorite bronzer is MAC's Bronzing Powder in Matte Bronze although Bobbi Brown's Bronzing Powder in Medium is a close second!
Lovelies, do you wear bronzer to achieve a more tan complexion?

Well over 30 mpg around town and power to commandingly turn all four wheels when needed.
As with all Lexus vehicles, could do without the nagging to put seatbelt on. Oh, and why, in an 08' luxury vehicle is there still a cassette player (Who still has any of these around?) and not an mp3 jack? Seriously?
Smooth Economical Luxury Power — .This is our first hybrid and so far, Im impressed. The change from engine to motor power and vice versa, is quite seamless and the visual of it happening on the dash is pretty captivating, intuitively letting you know how the process works.

Nice interior, comfortable ride.
Fuel economy not as good as I had hoped.
I Would Recommend The Lexus Hybrid. — This is a pleasant car to drive with good visibility. It is smooth and quiet. Although the hybrid works well fuel economy is not great. It has a nice interior and it is comfortable. There is little extraneous cabin noise.

Power, seamless / lossless transmission (CVT), great luxury features, great pricing especially if you hunt for certified pre-owned of 2-4 years.
Slightly cramped head room in the back seat due to the battery system under the seat area; less headroom than my '04 RX330 non-hybrid; unfortunate side effect, but only a real issue due to using a child's car seat; would not be an issue if using a booster seat, I believe.
Awesome Power Plant And Acceleration, Awd / Nav / Marc Levinson Premium Is Sweet — All the good of the stock RX330 line, but with better build quality, and the phenomenal CVT transmission. If you've ever used a Polaris 4-wheeler or snow mobile, you know about CVTs, but put it behind a multi-motor (gas/electric) 268HP power plant AND AWD, and you have an amazing power and acceleration band - nearly seamless acceleration from slow to 70 - it will blow away everything non-hot-rod (not the Cayenne Twin Turbo, for example, but then that's also a V8) when you need to get on at a freeway on-ramp. My wife loves it and feels much safer and more assured knowing the power and acceleration are there when needed. To quote the detail on the transmission/engine: "Producing up to 268 horsepower and working through a specialized continuously variable transmission (CVT), Lexus claims the front-drive RX 400h can go from zero to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds and an even quicker 7.3 seconds for all-wheel-drive models." Also, get the integrated video system - run video on both screens (on dash (when stopped / parking break engaged) and overhead at the same time... slick).

Hybrid Drive, aimable HID lights
No aux for IP, no smart key (both resolved in 2010 replacement)
Great Now, Just Wait Till The 2010 Arrives! — Great acceleration w/ good mileage. Very smooth ride, good utility. Aimable HID lights ROCK. Levinson stereo is OUTSTANDING! Hybrid drive system is very clean - this emits 75% less than a typical sedan, and Lexus hybrids can run up to 40mph completely on electric.

Lucas Matthysse vs. Michael Dallas Jr.
When: Saturday
Where: Hard Rock Hotel and Casino; Las Vegas
TV: Showtime, 10 p.m. (delayed)
Outlook: Matthysse defeated Ajose Olusegun in September to win the interim WBC junior welterweight title. Since losing a split decision to Devon Alexander in 2011, Matthysse has won four consecutive fights, all by stoppage. Dallas Jr. dropped consecutive fights in 2011 to Mauricio Herrera and Josesito Lopez, but has won his last two fights. Matthysse has already set his sights on WBA and WBC champion Danny Garcia, who faces Zab Judah next month.
Prediction: Dallas Jr. is taking a big step up in competition. Matthysse is one of the better junior welterweights and has tremendous punching power. It is going to take a major effort for Dallas Jr. to pull off the upset. Look for Matthysse to continue his run of impressive performances with a middle-round stoppage.
Record in 2013: 3-0
Based off his past, no one would describe heavyweight Chris Arreola of Riverside as an inactive fighter.
From 2008-11, Arreola, 31, had 15 fights. In 2011 alone, Arreola had five fights. Then came last year, when he was in the ring only once.
Arreola (35-2, 30 KOs) will look to shake off the rust when he faces Bermane Stiverne (22-1-1, 20 KOs), in a WBC heavyweight championship eliminator March 9.
The official news conference took place Wednesday in Sherman Oaks.
"It has been horrible ... horrible," Arreola said of the time off. "I don't remember the last time I fought only once in a year. I don't like it at all.
"I hate waiting. I'm a fighter, that's what I do. I don't sit around. If I'm sitting around, sometimes I feel my heart beating differently because I'm not active."
The fight will take place at The Hangar at the Orange County Fair and Events Center and will be televised on HBO.
The winner of the fight becomes the mandatory for WBC champion Vitali Klitschko. That's a road Arreola has traveled once, but to no avail.
In 2009, Arreola faced Klitschko for the WBC title and was soundly defeated. The fight was stopped after the 10th round. After an easy bounce-back victory over Brian Minto three months later, Arreola again found himself with a big moment as he faced Tomasz Adamek in 2010. Again, Arreola came up short.
It wasn't until his next fight that he decided a change was needed.
"When I fought Manny Quezada (Aug. 2010), I went 12 rounds with that kid, he shouldn't have lasted four rounds with me," Arreola said. "No disrespect to him, but he didn't belong in that ring with me. He shouldn't have gone 12 rounds. I shouldn't have broken my hands, I shouldn't have had two black eyes from fighting a guy like him. ... That's what woke me up."
To his credit, Arreola has seemed to dedicate himself to his craft. He's been in better shape in his recent fights and that, he said, has helped him focus more on in-the-ring things.
The change has been evident, to his Arreola's promoter, Dan Goossen.
"It was guts, heart and determination that carried him through all of those fights," Goossen said. "He was missing a very important ingredient that brings all of those assets to the top level and that's being in great condition.
"Now, to throw that in there, I don't believe that anybody can stop him."

They're both NORTH WEST, TMZ has learned.
Seriously, that's the kid's name, at least according to the birth certificate from Cedars-Sinai hospital, reports TMZ.
According to TMZ, there were rumors floating around a few months ago that Kim and Kanye West might give the baby a directional name ... but who thought they would actually go through with it?
And when you look at the options - West West is redundant ... South West is an airline ... and East West leads to nowhere.
So, by default ... North West it is!

(May 1 2012) Exclusive to GEOnomic Investing:
Cotton prices saw volatile swings in April, with traders constantly adjusting their positions, and prices reacting in a knee-jerk fashion to technical buying and selling. In the end, the price differential between April 2nd (the first trading day of the month) and April 30th (the last trading day) was small. On April 2nd cotton was $0.931 a pound, compared to the $0.897 it closed the month off at. A year ago, cotton was selling for about $2.00 per pound. Speculators were net-long on cotton as of April 24th; and were net-short the week prior, then net-long in all of the five previous weeks according to the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

Watch the Alexandre Courtès directed video for new single 'Dead Living Things', taken from the album 'Glow' released this week.
Director Alexandre Courtès is renowned for his previous work with artists such as Phoenix, Daft Punk and The White Stripes, including the 'Seven Nation Army' video.
"In an isolated house situations collide, that illustrate different facets of life and lives that have inhabited this place.
Through its poetic nature, this film deals with the different emotions the song brings forth in me, and allows me to illustrate freely the surreal aspects of those very different themes that reflect the wide spectrum of sensations, ideas, thoughts and feelings of our lives.
This project is a direct reference to the works of Fellini and David Lynch. It is a juxtaposition of life scenes and actions that have nothing to do with each other in particular, that however create a fantastic dynamic and resolutely surreal experience." - Alexandre Courtès

UN votes to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons

Updated: September 28, 2013 12:25AM
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Friday night to secure and destroy Syria's chemical weapons stockpile, a landmark decision aimed at taking poison gas off the battlefield in the escalating 2 1/2-year conflict.
The vote after two weeks of intense negotiations marked a major breakthrough in the paralysis that has gripped the council since the Syrian uprising began. Russia and China previously vetoed three Western-backed resolutions pressuring President Bashar Assad's regime to end the violence.
"Today's historic resolution is the first hopeful news on Syria in a long time," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the council immediately after the vote.
For the first time, the council endorsed the roadmap for a political transition in Syria adopted by key nations in June 2012 and called for an international conference to be convened "as soon as possible" to implement it.
Ban said the target date for a new peace conference in Geneva is mid-November.
The resolution calls for consequences if Syria fails to comply, but those will depend on the council passing another resolution in the event of non-compliance. That will give Assad ally Russia the means to stop any punishment from being imposed.
The vote came just hours after the world's chemical weapons watchdog adopted a U.S.-Russian plan that lays out benchmarks and timelines for cataloguing, quarantining and ultimately destroying Syria's chemical weapons, their precursors and delivery systems.
The Security Council resolution enshrines the plan approved by Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, making it legally binding.
The agreement allows the start of a mission to rid Syria's regime of its estimated 1,000-ton chemical arsenal by mid-2014, significantly accelerating a destruction timetable that often takes years to complete.
"We expect to have an advance team on the ground (in Syria) next week," OPCW spokesman Michael Luhan told reporters at the organization's headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands immediately after its 41-member executive council approved the plan.
The U.N. resolution's adoption was assured when the five veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council — Russia, China, the United States, France and Britain — signed off on the text on Thursday.
As a sign of the broad support for the resolution, all 15 members signed on as co-sponsors Friday.
Russia and the United States had been at odds over the enforcement issue. Russia opposed any reference to Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which allows for military and nonmilitary actions to promote peace and security.
The final resolution states that the Security Council will impose measures under Chapter 7 if Syria fails to comply, but this would require adoption of a second resolution.
Associated Press writers Mike Corder in The Hague, Netherlands, Toby Sterling in Amsterdam and Albert Aji in Damascus contributed to this report.

Blackletter Treasures
21st Apr 2007
The sampler for Moderne Schwabacher
After reading this thread on Typophile about a new beer label I did a quick search for Hartwig Schrift (the original type for the label) and found this incredible site. It's got a collection of resurrected blackletter types (and elsewhere, Pirate types!) some of which I've seen before, others which I've never seen, like Jaecker-Schrift. I love blackletter type anyway, and there are some real gems in there. The fonts themselves are of patchy quality, but if you're after some beautiful letterforms to use in lettering or logo projects, it's definitely the place to go.
Eth from Jaecker-Schrift
This capital Eth from Jaecker-Schrift for example is really quite compelling. The composition of the diacritic brings to (my) mind Suprematism, or Kandinsky - it's that dot, almost like a full stop hidden in the character and balanced by the verticals - so perfect! As in the sampler on the page, I'd be tempted to use it as an ornamental 'D' as after all, it's so ornamented it goes far beyond a normal Eth that you couldn't tell the difference anyway. I'm also thinking of creating a set of similarly ornamented caps to use as cadels with the font. I have a thing for cadels too…

Replied to Mexican Mac-n-Cheese Recipe : Food NetworkSunday, Oct 26, 2014 on FoodNetwork.com
"Excellent recipe. I increased the rice to 1 1/2 cups with a slight increase in cumin and tumeric and liquid. Family and friends loved it, said it had a true Latin flavor. Easy, one-pot meal. "
"I wanted to make this recipe but was dismayed by the negative reviews. I crosschecked with the Pioneer Woman website recipe, which calls for 1/2 cup of milk.""
"Ching-He Huang is a new chef to me. I tried this receipe and found it a little heavy on the 5 spice power. I also made the sweet potatoes and they too had a little too much cumin and pepper. But otherwise, the dishes were very good.""

Venue: Salon - York House. View directions
Introduction by the Chairman.
The Chairman welcomed the members of the Committee.
In accordance with the Members' Code of Conduct, Members are requested to declare any interests orally at the start of the meeting and again immediately before consideration of the matter. Members are reminded to specify the agenda item number to which it refers and whether the interest is of a personal or prejudicial nature.
Members are also reminded of the requirements of Section 106 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 that they should declare and not vote on specified matters if they are two months or more in arrears with their Council Tax payments.
There were no declarations of interest.
To consider and approve the minutes of the Finance and Performance Overview and Scrutiny meeting held on 29 November 2010 – attached.
The minutes of the meeting held on 29 November 2010 were approved and the Chairman was authorised to sign them.
Apologies for absence were received from Councillor Churchill and Williams. Councillors Elengorn and Coombs attended as their substitutes.
The report gives an update on the impact on the Council's financial position of the Local Government Finance Settlement.
Representations were heard from Mark Maidment, Director of Finance.
The Director gave the Committee a presentation on the Local Government Finance Settlement (LGFS) Update which covered the following points:
· The settlement was not announced until mid-December.
· Richmond was to receive the lowest funding per head of all London boroughs.
· The total grant excluding schools was £62m which represented 26% of the Councils funding.
· Richmond borough would lose £7.8m compared to 2010/11 which represented 12.6% of the original funding
· The government had introduced the phrase "Spending Power" which calculated that after allowing for the council tax freeze grant (£2.9m), the formulas grant and other grants Richmond would only lose 0.6% of its spending power compared to the London borough average of 5.7%.
· The new "floor" mechanism was structured in such a way that those boroughs least dependant upon government funding were least protected in the settlement
· The government had announced it would allocate an additional £2bn towards Health and Social Care. It had not been possible to track all of this through to cash allocations but there was an additional £1.75m that was to be allocated to health and to be allocated via a joint agreement with the local PCT. It was unclear if this money would continue beyond 2012/13.
· The Director highlighted the possible introduction of a maximum benefit levels for rent and the concern that this may impact on homelessness levels and costs.
· The Director said the LGFS had been in line with the worst end of expectations but in overall terms would not mean significant change to the Councils 4 year financial strategy.
In response to member's questions, the Director made the following points:
· The level of cuts/efficiencies/savings for 2012 would be dependent on Council Tax levels and a number of other factors.
· The Director explained that the Council was in negotiations with the Primary Care Trust in relation to the additional funding allocated to health. It was expected that the agreement would benefit both health and social care demands.
· In terms of grants, the LGFS had resulted in the Council losing as much as was permissible under the floors and ceilings regime, however, in cash terms this was much lower than a number of boroughs who started with higher grant levels.
· There was £12m of savings agreed as part of the budget process in 2012.
The Greater London Authority was reported to have had their funds cut by £168m. The Director explained this could impact on various areas including transport and local policing. The Council was awaiting further details.
RESOLVED: that the report be noted
This Report is a Position Statement in relation to the proposed sharing of legal services with the London Borough of Merton.
Representations were heard from Helen White, Interim Head of Legal and Electoral Services.
Helen White gave a slideshow presentation on Shared Legal Services which covered the following points:
· Legal Services acted on behalf of and advised the Council in relation to all of its functions including: Enforcement, Child protection, Contracts, Planning and Housing.
· At that time the cost of the in house legal service was £1.8m and the majority of expenditure was on staff.
· The staffing and budgets of Richmond and Merton borough councils were similar.
The benefits of a merged service included:
· Greater flexibility, team capacity and resilience to change.
· Efficiency savings through economies of scale and knowledge transfer.
· A larger team would provide improved job satisfaction and development opportunities.
· Assist in the recruitment and retention of high quality staff.
· Provide a revised service which emphasised high performance and quality legal support.
Helen White explained that the project was commenced with the intention to save 20% of expenditure in both Richmond and Merton boroughs.
Savings would include:
· Staff reductions (including managers) – The overall structure would be flatter and a few lower paid staff would be required to create a balance.
· Less duplication of software and legal publications,
· Increased potential of income generation for partner bodies,
· 1 shared legal library rather than 2,
· 1 shared legal case system rather than 2
Costs involved in establishing a shared legal department would include:
· Moving/accommodation
· Redundancies
· Pensions (a deficit is created by staff moving to a new employers)
Helen White suggested the shared legal team could take on work for schools including academies. There was potential to sell legal services to other boroughs in areas where the new service had a good reputation.
The following issues were raised by the Committee:
Helen White explained that if a conflict of interest arose between the two boroughs they would seek independent legal advice.
Pension deficits - as a result of staff transferring to another borough - would not be jointly shared. Such deficits would be expected to be borne by the borough which the staff were transferring from; however, this would be subject to an overall "fairness" review.
It would be the responsibility of department managers and a new shared legal "Governing Board" to safeguard against one borough overusing the shared resources. The Committee expressed concern that the monitoring of shared services could require more resources than at present.
Helen White suggested that some non-legal work currently covered by Legal Services could be handled better by other, more relevant departments. This was unlikely to yield significant savings but would enable the Council to provide a more efficient service.
If one borough had a crisis to deal with the aim would be to use the larger joint staff resources to manage the extra work.
It had been necessary to allow enough time to prepare for a Shared Legal Services. This allowed valuable staff feedback to be considered. The result was that staff had embraced the change, believing it was the right move.
There was a requirement upon the Council to provide staff with a 90 day consultation to explain the new structure before they could begin to implement the decision.
In relation to the new service level agreement, Helen White explained a basic set up had already been established and assured the Committee that the service level had the potential to improve.
RESOLVED that:
· the report be noted,
· the report return to the Committee in May.
[Helen White left the meeting]
This report provides an update on the development of a new local Performance Management Framework (PMF) for the Council.
Representations were heard from Councillor Arbour, Cabinet Member for Performance and Mandy Skinner, Assistant Director Commissioning Corporate Policy and Strategy.
Councillor Arbour introduced the item:
He explained that the developing the content of the Local Performance Framework (LPF) was a work in progress. The Performance Indicators in the latest version, before the committee, were indicative and the final version had yet to be agreed. Indicators would be carefully selected and were intended to be easily understood by residents.
The following issues were raised by members:
The Assistant Director explained that the Council was working with other boroughs to produce a shared list of Performance Indicators against which all would report to ensure that accurate comparative studies could be carried out.
The Committee suggested there should be an indicator for people killed or seriously injured on the road.
The Assistant Director assured members that the driver would be to ensure the right indicators were used, not simply those which would be easily measurable and produce quick results.
Councillor Arbour explained, in order to demonstrate value for money to residents, who are paying for services through Council Tax, the Council would need to set out the cost and performance of services provided
To ensure the LPF was accessible to all, the Assistant Director agreed it was important to avoid using jargon in the LPF.
She agreed that the Council would need a clear way of measuring if residents felt they were getting value for money from Council services.
The Committee felt it was important that residents were aware that value for money was to be measured by the Council's expenditure not the amount of money collected through Council Tax. Without a clear understanding of what constitutes value for money, the Performance Indicators could be misleading.
The Assistant Director said the Council would like to start implementing the findings from the LPF at the beginning of the financial year (1 April).
The Committee noted that for ease of comparison, all Councils' performance against the agreed set of common Indicators should be displayed together in one place.
The Cabinet Member for Performance explained that by the start of the new financial year the Council aimed to have a list of objective measures to meet local needs. This would demonstrate that the Council was reacting to targets.
The Committee said that the different wards would have their own individual values and interests. For this reason, different PI's should be used to meet geographical differences.
· that the report be noted,
· that an update on the Performance Management Framework timetable be provided at the Finance and Performance meeting on 9 February 2011.
[Councillor Arbour left the meeting]
This report provides an update, as at November 2010, on the status of key identified strategic Projects and Programmes.
Additional documents:
Representations were heard from Mandy Skinner, Assistant Director Commissioning Corporate Policy and Strategy.
The Assistant Director agreed to provide an update on affordable housing and provide a list of all the borough children's centres. An update on library efficiencies, including information about outsourcing, would also be provided. These updates would be presented at the Finance and Performance, Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 8 February 2011.
The Assistant Director explained that she would have the headline results from the All In One survey the following week.
The Assistant Director said it was unlikely that PI's related to savings would have progressed from red to green by the end of the year.
RESOLVED that:
· the report be noted,
· the report return to Committee at the 9 February 2011 meeting to provide an update.
Includes the Cabinet report 'Promoting Social Enterprise in the Borough' - which sets out the general approach to social enterprise in the borough - and the action plan.
Representations were heard from Councillor Fleming, Cabinet Member for Community Development and Mandy Skinner, Assistant Director Commissioning Corporate Policy and Strategy.
Councillor Fleming explained that profits made by Social Enterprises (SE's) would be reinvested into worthy local causes including SE's.
She cited Proper Oils as a local SE success story and highlighted the following advantages to SE's:
· Potential for new jobs to be created
· SE's understand and can address local demand
· Dragons Den style access to Council funding could provide additional investment through sponsors
It was likely that local businesses would be offered the chance to join the panel in a Dragons Den style event. This could possibly generate additional sponsorship.
Councillor Fleming explained that a SE partnership was planned. This would help oversee the SE's and react appropriately if they encountered difficulties.
The Committee was concerned that business rate discounts for SE's could provide too much competition for local businesses. Councillor Fleming assured the Committee that SE's did not receive council tax relief.
Councillor Fleming explained that Credit Unions had been considered to financially assist SE's. However, Credit Unions generally dealt with smaller financial requirement and were not deemed suitable.
The Committee asked that a terms of reference for SE's be provided at a later date.
Councillor Fleming said the Council was keen to ensure the SE project was functional as soon as possible. The Richmond Social Enterprise Partnership was not likely to be in place before March 2011.
RESOLVED that:
· the report be noted,
the report return to the Committee in May for an update.
This report provides Members of the Committee with an update on the progress achieved in the first stage of the All in One Consultation. It also provides an overview of and opportunity to comment on the proposals agreed at Cabinet on 6 December for taking forward the next stage of the All in One including:
· Using the results of the current survey of residents to inform the development of local/village area plans.
Additional documents:
Representations were heard from Councillor Fleming, Cabinet Member for Community Development and Mandy Skinner, Assistant Director Commissioning Corporate Policy and Strategy.
The Assistant Director said the Council had started to identify geographies from the All In One. She expected to have a better picture of emerging villages the following week.
The Assistant Director explained that once emerging issues had been identified the Council would go out and engage with residents who might not have responded. She intended to ensure hard-to-reach minority groups were involved in the next stage of consultation (March onwards).
The Committee was keen to make sure that responses to the AIO reflected all demographics as well as wards.
There was some concern raised over the use of the term "villages" to identify geographical regions within, and across, ward boundaries.
The Committee were concerned that a good cross-section of residents responded to the AIO. If only the "usual suspects" responded the results would be skewed.
There was a general consensus among councillors that results should be broken down into electoral wards. This would be very useful for ward councillors.
The Committee were concerned that that certain areas might have a majority of the Council's allocated funding awarded to them because they produced a higher number of responses for the AIO. The Committee felt that a mechanism should be in place to prevent this happening.
The Committee considered that the AIO had the potential to instil high hopes in communities which might not be met.
RESOLVED that the Committee noted the progress of the report
The report details the proposed reduction to the London Borough Grants Scheme prior to Cabinet considering a report at its meeting on 24 January 2011.
Representations were heard from Councillor Fleming, Cabinet Member for Community Development and Mandy Skinner, Assistant Director Commissioning Corporate Policy and Strategy.
The Orange Tree Theatre was used as an example by the Committee, of an overlapping, pan-London organisation which needed recognition. It was felt that such organisations serve London as a whole, and should receive additional funding, perhaps from a variety of neighbouring boroughs. The Committee considered that money not invested in the Grants Scheme should be ring fenced for organisations like the Orange Tree Theatre.
Councillor Fleming said the next step was for Council officers to meet with London Councils at the end of January. The London Boroughs Grant Scheme report would return to the Committee in April when the Council would have identified local needs.
RESOLVED that,
· the report be noted
· that the report return to the April Finance and Performance Scrutiny meeting.
Report detailing the proposed work programme for 2011.
Additional documents:
· that the Work Programme for remainder of 2011 be agreed,
· that the Local Performance Framework and Mid-Q3 2010/2011 Top Strategic Projects and Programmes return to Februarys meetings with updates
