What's new in food? Glad you asked! This week the USDA shows off its rubber stamp for 'humane' meat and poultry labels, while it shops for guns (no, really!) instead of regulating anything as silly as food labels. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of pounds of meat are recalled due to lack of USDA inspection. In less infuriating news, consumers seek out organics in ever-increasing numbers, and nifty new research weighs in on both high blood pressure and Egyptian vegetarians.

July 1999: World Heritage Centre mission; September 2000: World Heritage Centre / France-UNESCO Convention mission; April 2002: WHC/ICOMOS reactive monitoring mission
Factors affecting the property identified in previous reports
Current conservation issues
Following the request of the Bureau of the World Heritage Committee, an urgent UNESCO WHC-ICOMOS Reactive Monitoring Mission was undertaken to Luang Prabang from 24-28 April 2002 due to the gravity of the information concerning the continuation of public works negatively impacting on the World Heritage values of the site being carried out by the Urban Development Authority (UDAA), an entity established by the Government to implement the activities financed under the Asian Development Bank (ADB) loan. The mission was accompanied by the Mayor of Chinon in view of Chinon's role since 1996 as the main partner of Luang Prabang in the decentralized cooperation programme for the strengthening of local capacity brokered by the Centre. The Representative of the French Development Agency (AFD) was requested by UNESCO to participate in the field visits and the meetings to explain the technical aspects of the excellent demonstration public works projects being undertaken by Maison du Patrimoine (MDP) under the decentralized cooperation scheme with AFD grant aid.
The mission held a series of meetings with the Maison du patrimoine (MDP-Heritage House, the advisory service attached to the Luang Prabang local government created in 1996 with catalytic support from the WH Fund and extrabudgetary funds raised by the Centre); the Department of Construction, and the Local Inter-departmental Committee on Heritage headed by the Prefet of Luang Prabang. The mission was also received by the new Governor of Luang Prabang, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Construction. The mission also had the opportunity to express its concerns to the Director of the Asian Development Bank in Laos.
The preliminary findings of the mission are as follows:
1. Concrete reinforcement of the Nam Khan river bank: this Asian Development Bank-financed work is completed; despite the negative visual impact of the gabions, the ICOMOS structural engineer judged that the reinforcement is beneficial to support the road along the riverbank although the massive design was not justified since the low velocity of the river currents of the Nam Khan caused minimal erosion. The mission recommended that the gabions be covered with vegetation to soften the negative visual impact.
2. Walls along the riverbank of the Mekong: several hundred metres of walls along the Mekong are being constructed despite the negative recommendations of the MDP. These walls, cut the view of the Mekong River from the road thereby undermining the strong links between the natural and built environment which is one of the world heritage values of Luang Prabang. Given the strong seasonal currents of the Mekong River and the increasing risk of floods due to global warming, the ICOMOS expert stressed the potential dangers of such concrete retaining walls at times of heavy floods and strongly advised against the continued construction of theses walls whose purpose is merely to delimit the quay along the riverbank. For the sections not yet built, the walls should be replaced by hedges of plants to delimit the quay and the riverbank should be consolidated where required by appropriate vegetation. MDP's Water and Environment Unit (established with European Union funding) should be requested to draw-up the technical design of these works for approval by the Department of Construction and the Local Inter-departmental Heritage Committee.
3. Illegal Demolition and construction: despite the strong initial adherence by the local inhabitants to the building permit system established in 1997 by provincial decree, violations have become increasingly current over the past two years, particularly by the wealthy inhabitants. Given the non-monumental character of this World Heritage site, continued demolition of traditional timber houses of great vernacular architectural value and further densification of the core area with new construction violating architectural design and volumetric guidelines would lead to the loss of the world heritage value of the site. The mission expressed great concern over the non-respect of the officially approved urban development and conservation plan (Plan de sauvegard et mise en valeur – PSMV), in some cases even by the public works department of the provincial government and the UDAA.
4. Threats on the urban wetlands: widening of the foot path in the urban wetlands into vehicular roads and inappropriately-designed drainage system in the wetlands are being carried out by UDAA under the Asian Development Bank loan scheme. These roads which have not been approved by the MDP risk further urbanisation of the area designated as nature protection area (ZPP-N) where construction is prohibited. The MDP water and environment expert and the ICOMOS expert believe that the open sewage canals may lead to the partial drainage of the area but will most likely leave pockets of still water which may aggravate water-born disease. The mission noted mosquito-infested still water in the open flat-bottom canals 1.25 metres wide installed only one metre from the existing houses. Moreover, the Provincial Department of Finance constructed a new building in the ZPP-N area undermining the rehabilitation of the urban wetlands being undertaken by the MDP under a EU-funded project designed by the Centre and Chinon.
5. Traditional building material: The failure despite efforts by MDP and international partners including UNESCO since 1998 to improve the quality of the local production of traditional roof tiles have led to the MDP approving the use of cement roof tiles pending the availability of roof tiles of better quality. Renewed efforts are needed to address this problem. The importation from Thailand or China of good quality roof tiles as well as the mobilisation of technical and financial assistance from bilateral or multilateral cooperation agencies will need to be considered urgently in view of the importance of roofing material in preserving the architectural features of the town.
Corrective measures:
The UNESCO-ICOMOS mission transmitted the concern of the World Heritage Committee and discussed with the Local Heritage Committee of Luang Prabang and the national authorities the following corrective measures indicating its intention to submit these proposals and the findings of the mission to the 26th session of the World Heritage Committee:
Corrective measure N°1 aimed at better control of illegal constructions:
A procedure to monitor construction and to stop in time illegal works needs to be established, involving the Department of Cooperation and the MDP.
Corrective measure N° 2 to ensure respect of the law by everyone:
The Lao authorities will execute as an example and with the necessary publicity, at least one or two demolitions of the illegal constructions.
Corrective measure N°3 aimed at awareness raising of the Development and Conservation Plan by the local administration
As soon as possible the Governor of the province of Luang Prabang will present the Development and Conservation Plan of the Maison du Patrimoine. This presentation will be followed by a visit to the site. The Governor will organize and preside, within a two month period, a one-day workshop at which would participate Chiefs of all Provincial Departments.
Corrective measure N°4 to raise awareness of the Development and Conservation Plan by the enterprises:
Within the two-month period, a meeting of the enterprises and contractors having participated in the public works in the protected zone will be organized with the provincial services concerned and the Maison du Patrimoine to explain the Development and Conservation Plan.
Corrective measure N° 5 aimed at stopping the public works in progress contrary to the Development and Conservation Plan:
The construction of the road in the proximity of the Ecomuseum of Boua Kang Bung will be stopped. The Maison du Patrimoine will propose an alternative solution.
In conformity with the recommendations of the ICOMOS expert, the construction works of the supporting walls along the Mekong riverbanks will be limited to the completion of the works-in-progress. No new construction of supporting walls will be undertaken.
A recovery of the drainage canals will be undertaken in conformity with the propositions which will be established by the MDP to remedy the current situation.
In conformity with the recommendations of the ICOMOS expert, the gabions on the banks of the Nam Khan will be completely recovered by soil and plantations will be installed.
Corrective measure N° 6 aimed at promoting the follow-up of the Development and Conservation Plan:
The Local Heritage Committee will meet regularly once a month in the presence of all services concerned. It will treat difficult or contentious cases. It will transmit to the national Committee the questions which could not be settled at the local level.
Corrective measure N°7 aimed at better management of public places:
A well-planned and multi-usage solution will be elaborated between the provincial departments and the MDP (Asia-Urbs project) to conserve the "Place d'armes" in its function as square where commercial activity can also take place. The temporary use by the commercial activity will be regulated with care to ensure small markets in the city and to respect the cultural pluri-ethnic diversity.
Corrective measure N°8 to establish a Fund to help the local inhabitants:
The Fund to help the local inhabitants should work efficiently, notably on the 15 samples of the houses which have been identified. The Fund should provide an urgent solution to the problem of tiles by immediate import of a stock of quality tiles
Decision Adopted: 26COM 21B.54
The World Heritage Committee,1. Upon examination of the findings of the UNESCO-ICOMOS reactive monitoring mission, expresses great concern over the ill-designed public works, particularly the road widening in the protected urban wetlands area and the riverbank consolidation along the Mekong financed under the Asian Development Bank loan which undermine the World Heritage value of the site, and the lack of compliance with the conservation plan (PSMV), despite its official adoption by the local and national authorities;
2. Endorses the 8-point corrective measures proposed by the mission;
3. Invites the Director-General to write to the President of the Asian Development Bank requesting the latter to support the local authorities of Luang Prabang in reinforcing the urban conservation and management capacity;
4. Requests the Centre to discuss the modalities for the implementation of the corrective measures;
5. Further requests the Centre and the Advisory Bodies to provide technical support to the State Party in the implementation of the proposed corrective measures;
6. Requests the State Party to provide by 1 February 2003, a progress report on the implementation of corrective measures for examination at its 27th session in June/July 2003.Decision Adopted: 26BUR XII.91-93
XII.91 The Bureau examined the report on the state of conservation of this property presented in working document WHC-02/CONF.201/11 Rev.
The Bureau expressed great concern over:
(a) the rapid increase in illegal demolition of historic buildings, including those listed on the inventory of traditional wooden buildings;
(b) the illegal construction of buildings including those of public administrations, in the World Heritage protected area of Luang Prabang, which demonstrates non-respect for the building permit system;
(c) visual impairment and possible engineering problems regarding the Asian Development Bank-financed consolidation works carried out along the banks of the Nam Khan River;
(d) delay in the finalization of the national heritage protection laws and regulations, hence delay in their enactment by the National Assembly of Laos, despite the commitment made by the Government in its letter of September 1995, addressed to the Director-General of UNESCO;
(e) delay in the official adoption by the national authorities of the Luang Prabang conservation plan (Plan de Sauvagarde et de Mise en Valeur-PSMV), also promised in the letter cited above;
(f) lack of progress in the establishment of the subsidy and micro-credit scheme to support the conservation of privately-owned buildings in the historic core; and
(g) non-continuation of consultation process with the local inhabitants, considered essential for the protection of a site largely composed of privately-owned traditional houses.
XII.92 The Bureau, while noting with appreciation the tangible and well-coordinated support provided by the City of Chinon through its decentralized co-operation programme, in partnership with the French Development Agency (AFD), the European Union and the Region Centre amongst others, requested all other national and international actors working in Luang Prabang to ensure that their activities contribute to national capacity-building, rather than to the mere completion of the public works. The Bureau reiterated the importance of maintaining the authenticity and the integrity of the town of Luang Prabang, whose World Heritage values are based on the link between the natural and the built environment as well as on the harmonious fusion and co-existence between the traditional Lao and the late 19th-century European urban patterns and the corresponding architectural styles.
XII.93 The Bureau requested the World Heritage Centre to:
(a) arrange for an urgent reactive monitoring mission composed of experts representing ICOMOS and UNESCO with technical competence to evaluate the situation referred to above, including the hydro-engineering problems;
(b) organize a technical meeting during this mission with the national and local authorities concerned and with all external and national agencies involved in urban conservation and infrastructure development activities in Luang Prabang, with a view to reinforce co-operation according to a set of defined conservation objectives;
(c) support the State Party in taking immediate measures to halt the process of deterioration to the World Heritage value of the site;
(d) inform the State Party of its deep concern over the non-response to its repeated requests for information on the progress in the adoption of legal and management tools in ensuring the protection of this World Heritage site; and
(e) renew its request for a full report on the measures taken to redress the threats, to be submitted to the Centre by 1 February 2003, for examination by the Bureau at its 27th session of the Bureau in April 2003.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Bought this grill at Kmart for $140. when looking for a flexible alternative to my old rusted out big outdoor gas grill. I live in Florida, so I wanted a grill I could use year round and for after a hurricane, but one that I could stow easily in the garage. The unit sets up easily and it is great that it works with both the small propane bottles or a larger standard bbq propane tank. It works well and the ignition is great so you don't need matches. I didn't know about the drip pan needing to be filled with water for grilling. They don't tell you this part on the outside of the box. This makes it a pain to clean after because you have to lift out the drip pan under the grill top which is filled with water. This is awkward and it takes some skill to avoid dumping greasy water everywhere. The grill top is porcelain coated, but it doesn't clean up as easily as I would like. Barbecued some chicken with sauce and even my stand-by baking soda treatment has left charred remnants on the grill top. Not impressed with the cleanup. I do like it because it has detachable legs for the porch and is portable, although not very lightweight. I've only had it a short time, so I don't know how it will hold up. They sell a more fully featured Roadtrip Grill which has two burners and more cooktop (optional) styles you can order for doing pancakes and using with a regular pan. I might have looked into buying that if I had known.

The meaning of Kobe Bryant at 30,000By BECKLEY MASON
The New York Times | December 07,2012AP Photo
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant dunks against the New Orleans Hornets in New Orleans Wednesday. Bryant just became the fifth player to reach 30,000 points for his career.If you read the headlines, you know that Kobe Bryant became the youngest NBA player to score 30,000 points after dropping 29 Wednesday night in a victory over the New Orleans Hornets. Only four other players Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain hit that mark, so it is a meaningful accomplishment.
The funny thing is, while Bryant was the youngest to do it, aided by going to the NBA directly out of high school, he needed more games to reach that mark than any of the others, who are all Hall of Famers.
Malone, who entered the league at age 22, needed 28 fewer games. (Bryant started only seven of his first 150 games in the NBA, whereas Malone was starting, and playing 30 minutes a night, from almost the moment he entered the league.)
Jordan entered the league at 21 and left twice, in 1993 and 1998, despite leading the league in scoring the previous season. He did not hit 30,000 points until he was 38 and playing with the Washington Wizards. Still, he needed 220 fewer games almost three seasons worth than Bryant to reach the milestone.
That Bryant needed more games than any of these other players might, in the eyes of some, mute the accomplishment. But it also serves to frame the achievement in a different light: It is downright incredible that he has played so many games at such a high level.
The crazy truth is that at 34, with all those games on his knees and ankles, Bryant is not only leading the NBA in scoring this season, he is also enjoying the most efficient scoring season of his career. Bryants true shooting percentage (which incorporates the value of 3-pointers and free throws) is 61.1. Previously, his best TS percentage was 58.0, in 2006-07.
So Bryant might be a better scorer today than when he was 28 when athleticism and experience often combine to produce peak years for NBA wings which would be an accomplishment that speaks as much to what Bryant has done off the court as to what he has done on it. Even for all of Jordans veteran guile, his TS percentage declined steadily after he won his second title with the Bulls as a 28-year-old in 1991.
Any profile you read of Bryant will make mention of his intense preparation not just in thousands of jump shots but in thousands of minutes with his feet in ice baths. In 2009, Rick Reilly followed Bryant around on game day for ESPN the Magazine, and noted that Bryant travels in a customized van that allows him to ice his feet and knees (which he does three times a day without fail) while he watches game video.
Earlier this year, when Chris Ballard profiled Bryant and his basketball star father, Jelly Bean Bryant, for Sports Illustrated, he included this description of Bryants world of personal trainers, massage therapists and ice baths: He travels with his own trainer, Tim Grover, and he persuaded the team to hire his longtime physical therapist, Judy Seto, so he could receive treatment at all hours. When the Lakers held a Super Bowl party in February at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia, all but one of the players relaxed and watched the game. Bryant sat in a corner with his ankle in a bucket of ice and directed Seto as she worked on his limbs.
There is no such thing as off time for Bryant.
Whereas most players will be remembered for their exploits on the court and Bryant, with the five rings he has won in Los Angeles, will certainly be a legend for his footwork, his fadeaways and his snarl Bryants most enduring impact might be the example he set off the court.
For goodness sake, the man went to Germany to have an operation he could not have in the United States, so that his knees, worn thin from so many seasons and postseasons, would potentially have a bit more life.
Even if he did not change the game on the court the way, say, Jordan or Chamberlain did, he has done as much as anyone else to push the limits of off-court dedication. No one has taken better care of his body (even Jordan drank and smoked cigars), which is why perhaps no one else has played at Bryants level so many games, minutes and dunks into his NBA career.MORE IN Wire SportsNEW YORK Rob Manfred knows hell get pounded now that hes baseball commissioner his name is...

I think they are good, but not long lasting. I have owned Burton and Dakine gloves, and have been thrilled with both, but these particular gloves don't seem to take the abuse as much as others. I haven't even had them a full year, and I'm starting to notice a far amount of wear'n'tear. I would buy again, but also would look at other models.

Be aware that for Teemo, that's not necessarily 53.72% of the games, because it counts "Appearances%*10", so if there are two Teemos in a game, it counts them twice. So if every time a Teemo is played he's played on both teams, it'd only be 26.86%, which is still quite high. The Dominion statistics on lolking lump together all Elos though, naturally. Yorick got a buff in the form of the old Executioner's Calling being removed, and the new Muramana being so good on him.
If the cast animation on his R was longer then at least skilled players could stun/silence/cc him when he tries to jump. That would actually means a kassadin would require skill to play and counter, he'd still be a pain in the arse but at least you'd have an option. There are alot of ultis you can counter with a correctly timed CC, I don't see why kassadin gets to be an exception.
I want Kassadin fixed so I can play as him again. It's was one thing to nab him in draft when he wasn't banned, but draft is dead and I can't bring myself to pick him in blind and still feel like I deserve to own my gonads.
I think for people confused why kassadin is so godlike, there hasn't been a good explanation. And the reason is that he is not that faceroll, its not "pick kassadin, jump into fight, own everthing" Jax style. Kassadin problems are 2 separate problems: a) Godlike mobility: This can be abused, if there is a kassadin you can create unfair fights all the time, gank bottom for a 2 to 1, they come to help? blink to top twice as fast and create a 4 vs 3. You can start capturing their mid, you see them comming? rush top or bottom a lot faster get there first to a outnumbered fight. Kassadin can make some champs wander aimesly while he is adding nuke damage all over the place. b) You will only catch me if I want: He can kite and defend a neutral point from any melee champ forever. If you see kassadin and you are melee, your only option is too run. Otherwise he will QE and walk away everytime his cooldowns are up. And you CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Some casters even have that problem, in a different way, kass, blink in your face, silence, slow, and walks away, and you did 0 damage. And kassadin can repeat that again and again, and you can't do anything, if kassadin gets ganked doing this...he just blink away. As said the only champs that do not have a problem with that repeat cycle are ranged ad, but kassadin builds frozen hearth, and he can just choose not go where the ranged ad is, or organize a double or triple burst on the ranged ad if with the team. There are though some better champs vs kass, good chaser like Eve and WW are actually decent vs kass , you still prefer to have kass yourself though. And they shouldn't be alone, my point is if your team is like ,eve ww, ezreal, fizz top, janna bot, you have some chances vs kass.
If I see a Jayce, I'm a little bit sad but I can deal with it. If I see a Jax, I cringe slightly but play the game normally. If I see a Teemo, hate starts to build up inside of me, but I try my best to play the game normally. If I see a Kassadin, I either have to lace up my try hard boots or accept a loss. Those are the top 4 most OP champs in Dominion (my opinion) and Kassadin is the only one I can't stand. Teemo does get me slightly angry - but nothing compares to the cheapness that is Kassad*ick.

Closely related to lip glosses, lip paints and stains are more opaque and generally longer-lasting than their glossy cousins. In order to earn our highest rating, lip paints and stains must contain most, if not all, of these key features:
Lip paints and stains are very similar to lip glosses in that they generally come in tubes with wand-like applicators and are liquid in nature. In fact, some are billed as "liquid lipsticks," and that is exactly how they should perform. Color coverage is usually much more opaque than gloss, and wear time is generally longer.
The options on this list have smooth, comfortable textures that are not too sticky or too thin. As many of them are also longer-wearing products, they must not have a drying effect on the lips (many long-wearing products do), and they must not fade away after only a few minutes of wear. Where possible, we have noted which ones have different finishes (metallic, glitter, etc.).

First Indian Guess Model is as Beautiful as All the Previous Guess Models
The 31-year-old mode,l who is rumored to be single, may find dating in Hollywood less than ideal. Just ask the Israeli-born and bikini-selfie master Bar Refaeli, who reportedly can't get a date.
I apologize if that slightly muffled, tiny violin sound has emerged from your speakers. Waaaaah. It's so hard to be beautiful. Let's focus on being revolutionary, models, mmkay?

Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson Help AmfAR Launch the Fashion Week Storm
>> Last night, editors and models alike gathered at Cipriani to simultaneously launch Fashion Week — officially — and benefit one of fashion's favorite causes: AIDS research foundation amfAR. Anna Wintour presented and Donna Karan received an award for her contribution to amfAR's mission; Lara Stone, Caroline Winberg, Jessica Stam, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Lily Donaldson, and Anja Rubik (with boyfriend Sasha Knezevic) all got gussied up and came along for the ride. Afterward, there was a mass migration to Rose Bar, where they were joined by Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia for a little enjoyment of the calm before the storm.

Bayern fast, favored in today's TraversTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | August 23,2014SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. He already knows Bayern is fast, and now Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert is going to give the 3-year-old colt a chance to see how far he can stretch his speed.
Impressive in winning the $1 million Haskell Invitational in his most recent start, Bayern will go after his second straight Grade 1 victory in Saturdays 145th running of the $1.25 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course.
Favored at 2-1 in the morning line, Bayern and jockey Martin Garcia will break from post two in a 10-horse field for the 1 ¼-mile Mid-Summer Derby that includes fellow Grade 1 winners Tonalist, Wicked Strong and Mr Speaker. All horses carry 126 pounds.
Bayern has not run farther than 1 3/16 miles, when he ran into early traffic trouble and never got into the race while finishing ninth in the Preakness. Baffert, who won the 2001 Travers with eventual Horse of the Year Point Given, ran the horse in three weeks in the seven-furlong Grade 2 Woody Stephens at Belmont Park, winning by 7 ½ lengths.
Baffert brought Bayern back to California and then shipped East again for the 1 1/8-mile Haskell, where the son of Offlee Wild broke sharply from the gate and outran his opponents to win by 7 ¼ lengths.
I was waiting to see what he did in the Haskell. I thought he should win, Baffert said. After he ran in the Haskell, I didnt really see any reason not to try him a little further because it wasnt really taxing on him. He handled it pretty well. I really think this horse has finally put it all together.
Tonalist, second choice at 3-1, and Wicked Strong, third choice at 7-2, have taken turns beating each other this year and meet for the third time in a graded stakes race. Winner of the Peter Pan, Tonalist came from off the pace to capture the 1 ½-mile Belmont Stakes by a head for trainer Christophe Clements first victory in a Triple Crown race.
Jockey Joel Rosario will break outside Bayern in post six for the Travers, one spot inside Wicked Strong.
Im looking forward to the Travers, Clement said. Im looking forward to a mile and a quarter. Im looking forward to the pace scenario. Im excited. Lets go.
Fourth in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont, Wicked Strong added blinkers for the 1 1/8-mile Jim Dandy, where he was closer to the pace than usual. He took the lead turning for home and had plenty left to turn away Tonalists late bid.
We needed to see that from him, trainer Jimmy Jerkens said. Hes been slowly developing all along. He certainly didnt run bad in those (Triple Crown) races, but he hadnt put it all together like that. Im really happy where were at right now.
In addition to Wicked Strong, Jerkens will also saddle Curlin Stakes winner V. E. Day in the Travers, a race he won with Afleet Express in 2010.
Mr Speaker won the Grade 1 Belmont Derby Invitational on grass in July at 1 ¼ miles. Also entered are Charge Now, Commanding Curve, Kid Cruz, Ulanbator and Viva Majorca.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] UK/ECON/GV - Union warns of UK's biggest strikes over pensions

MANCHESTER, England | Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:28pm BST
(Reuters) - Britain could face the biggest wave of industrial action in a
generation if agreement cannot be reached on public sector pension reform,
the leader of the biggest public sector union warned Tuesday.
Unison, which represents 1.4 million of Britain's 6.2 million public
sector workers, has amassed a 30-million-pound war chest for what its head
Dave Prentis said could be months of industrial action.
An overhaul of public sector pensions is part of the Conservative-Liberal
Democrat coalition government's package of austerity measures adopted
after it took power in May last year to tackle a budget deficit of about
10 percent of GDP.
Ministers say pension reform is vital as the system is no longer
affordable with people living longer, as well as being unfair on the
taxpayer and those in the private sector.
Unions argue it would mean people would work longer and pay more for worse
Prentis told Reuters it seemed inevitable the issue would be the catalyst
for the biggest wave of coordinated industrial action Britain had
"It's no threat that we're going to create action bigger than the general
strike," he said, in reference to the nine days of industrial action in
1926, held in support of coal miners, which involved more than 1.5 million
"The numbers involved will be bigger than the general strike," he said in
an interview at Unison's conference in Manchester, England.
So far, Britain has avoided the large-scale strikes and protests seen in
other European countries including Greece, France, Portugal, Denmark, the
Czech Republic and Serbia over austerity plans and cuts to pensions.
In Spain, the government passed pension reforms in January with the
backing of unions, but there seems little chance of that happening in
The proposed reforms would see final salary schemes replaced by pensions
based on whole-career earnings, employees contributing more and a rise in
the retirement age.
Talks between ministers and union chiefs are due next Monday, the last
such scheduled discussions, but Prime Minister David Cameron has said:
"There was no question of climbing down."
Prentis said he saw little chance of a resolution. "There's a chasm
between us and it's very difficult how the bridge can be built to enable
us to reach a compromise," he said.
Britain's largest civil service union and two teaching unions will also
stage a strike over the issue on June 30, involving some 750,000 workers
in what will be the largest industrial action for decades.
With some 330,000 public sector workers expected to lose their jobs, weak
economic growth, higher taxes, inflation running at 4.5 percent -- double
the central bank's target -- Prentis said workers would not back down on
"We'll take the action for as long as it takes," he said.

To help
Anyone interested in contributing to London's continued care and medical bills can donate directly to Panda Paws Rescue at its website.
London arrived Monday at the Humane Society of Del Norte in Crescent City, Calif. with fractures that had shattered the joints in his front legs. The 6-month-old pit bull had likely fallen from his previous owner's second- or third-story apartment building about a month ago. His paw pads and underbelly were also burned.
He learned to get around by sticking his butt up in the air, dragging his front legs and walking with his back legs. He would turn left by putting the right side of his face on the ground and turn right by putting the left side down.
After walking this way, some fur on his face was rubbed thin and he developed sores and a few calluses.
When the Humane Society realized it couldn't help him at the shelter, officials contacted Amanda Giese, founder of the Vancouver in-home pet rescue organization Panda Paws Rescue.
She met a shelter representative in Cottage Grove, Ore., so she could bring London here for surgery.
"Even though it was painful for me to lift him, he was licking me," Giese said. "He was happy."
When they arrived in Vancouver, Giese put London in a harness. He started playing and "asking" for treats. The 44-pound pit bull even made friends with a couple of 2-pound Chihuahuas.
Wednesday morning at 10 London went in for surgery at the Animal Care Clinic in Vancouver. Dr. Bradon Sherman amputated both front legs from the shoulder down. He said London could have kept his legs if his injuries had been taken care of right away. After a month, however, it's hard to get the bones aligned and there's a higher risk for complications.
"This was a good option for London," Sherman said after the surgery. "He's got a good chance of having a good quality of life."
London will be fitted with an all-terrain front wheelchair, donated by Eddie's Wheels. After a two-week recovery period, he will start swim therapy and ball therapy to improve his strength and relieve the strain on his back.
"He's going to make a great pet for somebody who's willing and able to care for his needs," Sherman said.
Giese named London after the 2012 Olympics because his effort reminds her of the trials and tribulations that athletes endure in their training and performance. Much like an athlete, his perseverance is captivating, she said.
"We're all now known as Team London," Giese said. "He's our little gold medalist."

Nope, totally kosher. The video from the other officer's car clearly shows the guy had a gun, and used it. As legitimate as they come. Now the marksmanship piece, not so much a success story. This one had circulated around a while back with only part of the story trying to stir up anti-LEO sentiment.
________________________________________ "I'm your brother, just make it count."
Yep. Just a good example of how telling only a part of the story puts law enforcement and military in a bad situation. It's amazing how people will make their opinions on only some of the facts of a situation. Something to always keep in the back of your head whenever you hear about military or police brutality. Sometimes it does happen, but usually there is a cause. ......and yes, the marksmanship does suck. It could also be a good tool to show that 9mm is a marginal stopping round (I'm guessing that is what was used because it took awhile to drop the criminal). They were probably using Glock 17s (educated guess, that's all). Good learning video for anybody wanting to join up the police.
What led to this point is what I want to know? Can't really give you an opinion without all the facts.
Where is the other video?
From the video clip I saw, the perp. appeared un-armed and evading. I hope this wasn't the case.
The other video is on the right hand side. If you click the little down-arrow icon where it says "More from this user", you'll see the other video. I should've posted both at the same time, then you would've understood the videos better, and the lesson behind them. Better yet, here's the link to the second half.

Mexican Narco-Trafficker's Revelation Exposes Drug War's Duplicity
Yet another example of how the Feds are failing the people.Trail of Government Intrigue Leads Back to Cocaine Jet That Crashed in Mexico's Yucatan [narconews.com]
Not too hard to figure out...
We give them ( mexican ) FREE guns.... They give us drugs Gov't use drugs as a excuse to hire more cops, more prosecutors, more judges, more jails/prisons ( money well spent ) People spend their hard earned money paying for lawyers because they got busted for smoking a little weed, lawyers have jobs thanks to people who wanted to do what their rights to be free allows them to do anyways but the gov't forbids Gov't use scourge of drugs fear as a easy CONFISCATION tactic, so they can steal you sh*t without due process ( where does all that confiscated drug money go ) People get busted for drugs, get their name and bio into the gov't expanding bio-info database, soon they will have a record of every known men, women and child in this world.. Violence in Mexico keeps the Mexican gov't on the American gov't teet.... All in all a win win for the Amerika Gov't Last edited by Ryu-bom; 05-01-2011 at 04:04 AM.. |
The Bush-CIA cocaine cartel has been in operation for over 3 decades.
This comes as a surprise to anyone? Noriega was a pre-eminent player in Bush's cartel, which is why he had to smoke him out of Panama - at the cost of many innocent lives - in order to prevent Noriega from releasing documents implicating Bush 41. |
I saw that plane crash story a few years ago. The office it was registered to was right next to where I was working for the summer. I passed by it a few times and no one was ever there, it was a dummy store front.
On the plus side, the conspiracy theories this story attracted seem entertaining |
I see nothing wrong with bringing this situation to light; if it makes me appear 'conspirist', then so be it. If I could label myself, it would be an 'anti-federalist, first republic nutter'. |
I agree that a state-fed showdown is in order, and the "war on ______" programs all the different federal agencies seem to be running are probably as good a spot to start as any. |
So you link the CIA to a drug jet, but can't elaborate your thoughts any further... maybe you should figure out how that gov't love to create a problem as so they can create jobs for themselves to "fight" this problem But that's a conspiracy....opps |
Given what has happened to #35, in a very violent public display mind you - I like to think the 'keep your hands off' message rang loud and clear for all the successors. Here's a good read from #33: Limit CIA role to Intelligence [maebrussell.com] |

Washington Week
Episode #4239
Moderator: Gwen Ifill. Operation Iraqi Freedom has entered its second week and it's been a challenging one. The White House and the Pentagon are confronting the harsh realities of a war zone. Steve Inskeep of National Public Radio brings us up to the moment from Doha, Qatar. NPR's Pentagon reporter Tom Gjelten joins the panelists around the table and shares his expertise. Did President Bush anticipate such a tough fight on the ground in Iraq? Michael Duffy of Time Magazine sorts through the expectations and actualities. And this is just the beginning. The difficult task of rebuilding Iraq remains ahead. President Bush met with Prime Minister Tony Blair this week and the two hope to build international cooperation for the future of Iraq. Jeanne Cummings of The Wall Street Journal describes these efforts. What will this all mean in dollars? President Bush has requested additional appropriations to fight the war. In the same week, the Senate took a first step toward reducing the size of the tax cut the president wants. How will all of this effect the nation's bottom line? Jeffrey Birnbaum of Fortune Magazine tallies it all up for us. [26 minutes]

Candy: You know, the way those boys are looking at the baby? Not cute. I imagine veal farmers looking at their little boxed-in baby cows in much the same way. These guys are not contemplating what a blessing that kid is. Theses guys are contemplating whether they should bust out the fava beans and Chianti.
Sarah: They say women and men can't relate, but that poor man right there, he understands our pain. His stretched out cranium is like mommy-belly. Women can't fit in to their pre-pregnancy jeans; he can't put his Stetson on right since baby Athena sprung fully formed from his forehead.
Candy: Damn, those pleated pants are FIERCE. And look, just because the FTM hasn't quite finished transitioning yet is no reason to call him "bad." Tsk.
Sarah: You've seen the trifecta of hero, version 1.0, with mullet, sword, and shirt undone but still tucked in.
Behold: the trifecta of hero, v. 2.0, more badder than bad: mullet, contrast trim pima polo shirt, and pleated khakis. Rwor. Just wait until the Fabio covers roll out with this getup.
Candy: Wait, is this a modern-day retelling of the birth of the Minotaur? Kiiiiiinky.
Sarah: "Hey. At least I'm not veal."

Unnerving is a good thing! It means they're doing their job well! They're very powerful images. They look so real it's like the polar icecaps melted . . . Because they're such well known landmarks, they will lead people to read all kinds of messages into them, whether you meant them or not. Which is marvelous! I really do love them!
