Plan readied for Barrow benefits shake-up
Last updated at 15:49, Monday, 11 June 2012
AN action plan has been devised to ensure tenants know how benefit reforms will affect them.
From April 2013, a host of changes are set to be made to the welfare benefits system by the government.
As part of the plans, housing benefits will be scrapped and will be included in a new universal credit scheme.
Barrow Borough Council has prepared a welfare reform action plan to ensure social housing tenants and the council is ready for the changes.
The plan is set to be presented to the council's housing management forum on Thursday and Jane Coles, business support manager, said in a report for the forum that the overhaul presents a challenge to the council.
She said: "In considering the council's approach it is important to balance the responsibilities of the council as a landlord and the wellbeing of our tenants.
"While we do not have access to comprehensive income records of all our tenants we do know that by far the largest percentage of tenants receive housing benefit.
"Any changes to the benefit system of the magnitude being progresses poses a risk to the housing service's income and the ability to provide service levels agreed with tenants."
The council will no longer be paid housing benefits directly and instead will have to liaise with tenants to ensure that payment plans for the new amounts are set up.
The plan aims to raise awareness of the changes and will offer financial guidance to help people pay.
Tenants whose house is under-occupied, for example a three-person family living in a four-bedroom house, will see their benefits reduced and the council has adapted a 'best use of stock' policy which will aim to limit the amount of people who are transferred to properties which are too big for them. This could also see some families being asked if they would like to move through a mutual exchange programme.
Ms Coles said more communication was needed to ensure that people are aware of the changes.
She said: "From informal discussion with tenants and their representatives at various meetings over the past few months, it would appear that while there is some knowledge of the changes it would be appropriate for the housing service to ensure it complements any information produced by the Department for Work and Pensions to ensure tenants are aware of the implications from a tenants' perspective."
The meeting takes place at Barrow Town Hall on Thursday at 2pm.

Have your say
While i understand it is not the best idea in the world to have a single person living in a 4 bedroom house, how inhumane it is to shove a person out of a house they may have lived in for many years to save a couple of quid in housing benefit. To give an example my sons 1 bed flat (council) as it is part furnished is £88 per week and a 3 bed unfurnished house (council) is about £80! I predict it will result in a lot of people getting evicted as they will not be able to meet the shortfall in rent. If they have children the council are obliged to house them...what a mess.

Spring Venture Showcase
The Process
Submission Guidelines
Conditions of Investment
The Process
Established in 1996 with a $1 million gift from Eugene M. Lang, MS '40, the Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurial Initiative Fund fosters an entrepreneurial environment at Columbia Business School by providing early stage investing opportunities to qualifying student business initiatives. It also allows the School to share in the success of funded ventures through negotiated equity or other participation.
The Spring Venture Showcase offers students serious about launching a business upon or shortly after graduation the opportunity to present their plan to a distinguished panel of judges who together help select which students will advance to present to the Lang Fund Board of Directors. Approximately 20 students will have the opportunity to make a formal 7-minute presentation followed by Q&A.
Up to six companies will be selected from the event to present to the Lang Fund Board for investment consideration.
Congratulations to the 2015 Lang Fund Recipients.
All presenters will receive written and oral feedback on their business after the event.
Second-year students are eligible to participate in the Spring Venture Showcase and eligible for funding from the Lang Fund Board only.
Students may work individually or with a partner. The Lang Fund will consider investment proposals for all types of enterprises: small- or large-scale, high- or low-tech, start-ups or acquisitions and service, manufacturing, or retail operations.
The Lang Fund's Board of Directors evaluates those selected from the Spring Venture Showcase event pool according to the following criteria:
- Feasibility of the proposed venture and its prospects for success
- Strength of the student's commitment to the venture and his/her qualifications to make it succeed
- Prospects for raising additional funding as may be required
- Technical or conceptual originality or social value
Please check back in spring 2016.
Submission Guidelines
All applicants must complete the following application, which includes a 5-7 page Executive Summary.
Want to review the application questions you will be asked to answer? Download the Application Question Doc.
Executive Summary- 5-7 pages. This document should include the following information:
- An overview of the market, the competition, and the positioning of your product or service. Validation from customer interviews will prove beneficial.
- A detailed description of your product or service concept. Preference will be given to those who have developed a minimally viable product. For example, if it is a web-based venture, it is anticipated that the overall design of the website be complete and hosted for demonstration purposes. If the company already has revenue, please provide details.
- Highlights of a marketing plan including the direct sales strategies and media outlets you plan to utilize to reach your targeted customer.
- A profile of your management team and the skill sets vital for success.
- A high level financial plan including a break even analysis, sales goals, after the first year and the amount of investment required to support needed capital investments and negative cash flows during the start up phase.
Conditions of Investment
In order to provide more access to seed funding in a venture's early stages, the Fund will make an immediate initial investment, typically in the amount of $25,000-50,000, in the form of a convertible demand note in ventures that meet its investment criteria. This criteria requires that ventures have a viable business plan with good chances of success and a full time commitment by the graduating student to the business as its owner or prime mover. The Fund retains the right to make an additional equity investment in the business when the business raises its first round of equity backed by professional investors.
The Board retains sole discretion for deciding which businesses it will fund each year and may decide in a given year to forgo the funding of any projects if none of the ventures presented meet its investment criteria.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship @ Columbia provides a platform to develop new ideas by leveraging the cross-functional capabilities and knowledge of the University at large.

Multimodal Information Management: Evaluation of Auditory and Haptic Cues for NextGen Communication Displays
Auditory communication displays within the Next Generation Air Transport System (currently under development in the United States) will likely require an improvements in the user interface for selecting amongst multiple incoming messages. Interface design can impact both user performance and preference. Two design factors were evaluated: physical pressure-sensitive switches versus flatpanel "virtual switches," and auditory feedback from switch contact. Performance with stimuli using physical switches was 1.2 s faster than virtual switches (2.0 s vs. 3.2 s); auditory feedback provided a 0.6 s performance advantage (2.3 s vs. 2.9 s). The subjective results show a significant preference and superior performance for physical pressure-sensitive switches having audio feedback, compared to touch-panel virtual switches. The correlation between objective measures of performance and subjective ratings of preference and performance was shown to be high. Overall, the results indicate that any replacement of physical controls by virtual touch screens must be considered carefully, and should include audio feedback.

Quick Study: Do Elephants Get Stressed Out When Living Alongside People?
The Study: Ahlering, M.A., J.E. Maldonado, L.S. Eggert, R.C. Fleischer, D. Western and J. Brown. 2013. Conservation outside protected areas and the effect of human-dominated landscapes on stress hormones in savannah elephants. Conservation Biology, 27: 569–575. doi: 10.1111/cobi.12061
The Big Question: In East Africa, savannah elephants are increasingly expanding outside of protected parks and into surrounding areas where people and agriculture dominate. Do elephants experience stress when living alongside human populations — even in situations where they are not being actively poached? The answer, according to this new paper from lead author Marissa Ahlering of The Nature Conservancy and colleagues, can be found… in their poop.
Study Nuts and Bolts: The ability to measure stress hormones in wild animals has improved dramatically in the past decade with the development of fecal metabolite analysis techniques. In this study, scientists compared the levels of glucocorticoid (GC) hormone (which increases in response to stress) of elephants in a community conservation area (CCA) established by Maasai pastoralists with elephants at two nearby protected areas, Kenya's Amboseli and Maasai Mara National Parks. The elephants in the CCA are exposed to "dense human settlements, agricultural areas, and intense livestock grazing on a daily basis," while the elephants in the national parks are only exposed to humans through limited ecotourism and research.
To measure the stress hormone, scientists collected fresh dung samples and extracted DNA and hormone samples. The hormone samples were frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen, transferred to Nairobi for storage and then shipped overnight on dry ice to the United States where they were run through a series of metabolic analyses.
The Findings: The researchers found no evidence of chronic stress in the elephants living within the CCA. The stress levels of the CCA elephants were the same as elephants in the nearby protected area of Maasai Mara, although elephants at Amboseli exhibited lower stress than the other two groups.
What it All Means: The results surprised the researchers — they expected the elephants in the CCA to exhibit higher levels of stress due to a higher degree of contact with humans. These findings indicate that elephants can successfully live in human-dominated areas — and suggest that CCAs should be part of the solution in efforts to restore elephants to areas where illegal ivory poaching has decimated their populations.
Editor's Note: Check back later this week for a more in-depth report on this research.
'Let's Get Back to Ecology': A New Interview with Peter Kareiva
Nature Conservancy Chief Scientist Peter Kareiva recently gave an interview to Biodiverse Perspectives, a blog written by more than 100 graduate students in biodiversity science around the world. It's an excellent Q&A, with one of the best distillations yet of Kareiva's thinking on conservation's focus on biodiversity versus the benefits of a broader focus on ecology.
Read the full interview here. But here's a quote to whet your appetite:
"I have what some think is a heretical view of biodiversity. Look — I do want to prevent extinctions. But I think what should be a reasonable concern for biodiversity has turned into a numerological and narrow counting of species, and has led to an over-emphasis on research aimed at rationalizing why biodiversity should matter to the general public. Ecology matters to the general public because ecology is about water, pests and pestilence, recreation, food, resilience and so forth. Perturbations to ecosystems in the form of massive pollution, land conversion, harvest, species loss can all distort ecology. But focusing so narrowly on producing graphs that on the horizontal axis display number of species and on the vertical axis report some dependent ecological function (that is distantly related to human well-being) strikes me as not worth so much research. Let's get back to ecology — understanding how systems work, what controls dynamics, the role of particular species as opposed to the number of species, to what extent do ecosystems compensate for species losses, what factors contribute to resilience, whether there really are thresholds — all those are terrific research questions. Counting species, and trying to produce what is, as far as I can tell, usually very weak evidence for the relationship between biodiversity per se and ecological function is off-track.
"Early on in my job at TNC I presented to business leaders some of the empirical data plots from classic biodiversity and ecological function studies. These are studies we all interpret as strong evidence for the importance of biodiversity. I can tell you unequivocally when they saw the actual data they were totally unimpressed and unconvinced. It caused me to look more objectively at the data."
As always, let us know what you think in the comments.
Adapting the Science of Adaptation – The Importance of Seeing Through Others' Eyes
Helping people and nature adapt to climate change is a hot topic in conservation.
But the science behind planning such adaptation — particularly for human communities — isn't as clean as the rhetoric, and you can't do it simply in a lab or on paper. Whether we're talking about major developed world cities or small coastal villages, we have to run our theories by what we call the "test of people" — so they lead to strategies that work. That test often involves understanding how the world looks through the eyes of the people we are trying to help. Nothing like a good reality check.
Case in point: My recent trip to the Grenadines, where I was attending an "action planning meeting" with community members, my colleagues from The Nature Conservancy's 'At The Water's Edge' project team, and our local partners. Our aim: to identify specific actions that can be taken to help reduce the communities' vulnerability to coastal hazards (i.e., flooding from sea level rise and storm surge). As conservationists, we hope nature might be a part of the equation — what we call "nature-based adaptation."
Margaret Wente on Kareiva and the 'Enviro-Optimists'
Over the weekend, Toronto Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Wente sharply laid out what she and other journalists such as Keith Kloor have called the key philosophical battle of environmentalism today — between, as she puts it:
the purists and the pragmatists, the pessimists and the optimists – between the McKibbenists, who believe we're on the brink of global catastrophe, and those who think human beings are more resourceful and the Earth is more resilient than the doom-mongers say they are.
Exhibit A of these eco-optimists for Wente? Peter Kareiva, chief scientist of The Nature Conservancy. Wente says that "Kareiva and his fellow enviro-optimists are the key to saving environmentalism from terminal irrelevance."
As Wente puts it:
He argues that the purists have been terrible for environmentalism because they've alienated the public with their misanthropic, anti-growth, anti-technology, dogmatic, zealous, romantic, backward-looking message. (As a young scientist, he testified in favour of restricting logging to save the spotted owl. Then he saw the loggers sitting at the back of the room, with their children on their shoulders. After that, he became convinced that environmentalism wouldn't work so long as it was framed in terms of either/or.)
Read Wente's full column and let us know what you think.
Eddie Game: Why Tanzania is Wrong to Pursue 'Fortress Conservation' with the Maasai
The recent move by Tanzania's government to seal off 30,000 Maasai people from access to 1,500 square kilometers adjacent to the Serengeti in the name of wildlife conservation has drawn intense protests from both the Maasai and non-governmental organizations working in the country. The government will prevent the Maasai from grazing their cattle on a choice grazing area in the Loliondo Highlands — which the Maasai consider ancestral lands — but will allow a "Dubai-based luxury hunting and safari company" access to the land, reports The Guardian. The argument is that Maasai grazing practices are harming wildlife.
Eddie Game, conservation planning specialist at The Nature Conservancy, has written a blog post for the Australian site The Conversation arguing that the Tanzanian government's tack is an example of "fortress" conservation that is "unnecessarily blunt and crude." While Maasai grazing practices have reduced long-lived grass species prevalence in Tanzania in favor of seasonal species with deleterious effects for wildlife, Game says northern Kenya provides a shining example of "how pastoral livelihoods and wildlife conservation can be compatible." Money quote:"
Through the agreement of community-run conservancies, sections of communal pastoral lands in northern Kenya are set aside as grass banks. These areas are reserved for wildlife to graze but can be used by traditional pastoralists as emergency grazing lands for cattle in times of drought.
The grass banks are complimented by establishing rotational grazing practices that encourage pastoralists to graze their animals together and in a systematic fashion, allowing land to rest ungrazed for a period each year. Regular treatment of cattle for disease (a concern also in the Maasai lands) is provided as an incentive for collective grazing. A guaranteed price and safe transport of livestock to markets gives pastoralists the security to reduce their herd sizes. And the rapid spread of mobile connectivity and mobile banking technology is providing an alternative avenue for savings in remote rural areas.
Tourism is also thriving in these community-run conservancies, notes Game — with tourists clamoring to see both wildlife and pastoralists at work. "It is sad indictment of the Tanzanian government that the international public are being presented with an overly simplistic and unnecessary choice between wildlife and the traditional lifestyle of the Maasai," Game concludes.

The New York City Police Cadet Corps, Final Report
Subtitle/Series Name:
Pub. Date:
Nov 1991
The Police Cadet Corps program offered full-time sophomores in New York City colleges, who were also city residents, $9,000 toward their tuition over the remainder of their college enrollment. Of this, $6,000 would be in the form of payment for work to be performed and the rest would be an interest-free loan that would be forgiven if the cadet served 2 years as a police officer. The cadets were provided full-time employment during the summer and part-time employment during the school year. The evaluation showed that the program has had encouraging results, although fewer cadets have completed the program than originally intended. The extent to which it achieves its long-term goals of creating a new corps of outstanding future leaders will not be known until later. source

A U.S. District Court judge has dismissed a civil rights claim against the Town of Brookhaven and Village of Patchogue, following the murder of Ecuadorean immigrant Marcelo Lucero.
The lawsuit, filed by Lucero's estae in November 2010, seeks $40 million for the municipalities not protecting Lucero's civil rights the night of Nov. 8, 2008. Along with the town and the village, the lawsuit also names Suffolk County, the Suffolk County Police Department and 10 of its officers as defendants.
In a Nov. 2 ruling, Judge Leonard Wexler dismissed the town and village as defendants, saying that since neither municipality has a police force, they did not have the ability or responsibility to protect the area in Patchogue where Lucero was attacked by seven teenagers.
"Even construing the facts most favorably to the plaintiff shows no such relationship between any town or village defendant and Lucero," Wexler said in his ruling.
While Wexler's decision removes the town and village from the lawsuit, Suffolk County and its police department, along with the 10 unnamed officers, are now the only defendants in the case.
The Lucero estate claims the county fostered a climate of hate between whites and Hispanics, and that several police officers let the teens go after allegedly attacking another Hispanic victim the night before.

6 tablespoons
butter or margarine, divided
NILLA Wafers, finely crushed
2 tablespoons
4 (1 ounce) squares
BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
2 large
bananas, sliced
1 pkg. (4 serving size)
JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1 3/4 cups
cold milk
1 cup
thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
i've been searching for nilla wafers everywhere, so i can follow the recipe to a t. but to no avail, i used eggnog cookies. i baked the crust at 350 for 15 minutes - just a preference - and double the layer of bananas since i used a 5 oz pudding (crust; chocolate; bananas; pudding; bananas; pudding; whip cream; crumbs). i never knew banana cream pie could be so easy AND delicious. i think next time, i'll make it easier by using store bought/ready made crust, tub frosting, pudding, and whip cream. but then again, will the taste be as delicious?
My wife made this pie and it was delicious, "BUT" she used Hershey's chocolate semi-sweet as is called for but it was very hard after cooling
8 Ratings
So tasty! I used the ready-made Nilla Wafers crust. Much easier than crushing all those cookies. I also doubled the filling by using 2.5 cups of milk with both vanilla and banana pudding mix and folded in 1 cup Cool Whip as per the Nilla Wafers recipe. I definitely should have preserved the bananas beforehand because it definitely didn't take long before they got brown. Still delicious though. This will be a staple dessert in my house!!!
This was very easy to make, but didn't turn out as good as I imagined it would. I think the turn off was the chocolate layer turned really hard after being in the fridge.
Love that it was so easy to make.It tasted very good.
One of the best banana cream pies I have encountered. My family and friends request this at every gathering or snack day.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Tyrann Mathieu named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month
The storybook season of Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu continued Thursday as he was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month for October.
In four games during October, Mathieu totaled 21 tackles, an interception, a sack and defended five passes while playing 86 percent of all defensive snaps.
The third-round pick out of LSU is one of only six players in the NFL with at least two interceptions, a sack and a forced fumble on the season joining Buffalo LB Kiko Alonso, Baltimore LB Daryl Smith, Carolina S Mike Mitchell, NY Giants S Antrel Rolle and Denver LB Danny Trevathan.
Mathieu, who ranks second on the team with 49 total tackles, is just the third Cardinals player to win the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month Award, joining CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (2008) and DE Simeon Rice (1996) as recipients.

Almost unprecedented for this early in the season is what snowmobilers must be saying about the nearly two feet of snow now on the ground in Pierce County. Considering the many winters without much of the white stuff snowmobiling enthusiasts have endured, this month's abundance should be a welcome development.
Any upgrade to the Main and Piety streets intersection in Ellsworth might involve widening and adding a turn lane to the latter street rather than installing traffic signals at the corner, as was suggested earlier. "We'd like to look at other options first," said Greg Helgeson, traffic safety engineer for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's (DOT) Eau Claire office, during a Pierce County Traffic Safety Commission meeting Wednesday. The intersection's location at the bottom of a hill isn't ideal, Helgeson said as one reason for pursuing alternatives to the signals.
Could there someday be students attending Ellsworth schools who never set foot in any of the district's buildings? This was just one of the issues pondered when the possibility of offering a virtual school in the future was presented to the local school board Monday.
Jessica Roberts' life has its share of déjà vu. Fifteen years ago, Roberts met Clayton Bradley at a Menomonie dance club. Then, they went their separate ways: she working at bars here and he joining the Marines. Since Bradley returned to this area after 10 years of military service in California, she looked him up and they're now pursuing a common interest together, he said Thursday. Four-and-a-half years ago, Roberts was employed at Furlong's Bar in Ellsworth's west business district, she said. She's spent the last three years in a job at Scottie's Bar nearby.
In looking inward while between pastors, an Ellsworth church congregation has been looking outward, too. After the retirement of Pastor Harlen Menk this past spring, English Lutheran Church members hired "Church Doctor Ministries" through the Lutherans' Northwest Synod in Chetek to help assess the congregation's present condition and determine its future direction. A group of the members, including Melissa Bisila, Kelly Church, Heidi Gutting, Pat Linder and Billy Penn, discussed the effort Tuesday. Read more in the print version of the Herald Dec. 15.
As Ellsworth school officials struggle with budget issues, related topics will be taken to district residents in a presentation Monday, Dec. 13. Lisa Voisin, director of public finance for Robert W. Baird and Company, consultants to the local district, will deliver the presentation at 5 p.m. in the Hillcrest Elementary School gym, according to Superintendent Barry Cain.
The Ellsworth School Board decided Monday to use a Federal Education Jobs Fund award to help with the district's budget. The local schools have received $390,122 to be applied toward either existing jobs or others as part of expansion in either the 2010-11 or 2011-12 school terms, or both, Superintendent Barry Cain explained.
PLUM CITY--The Plum City Evangelical Free Church has been expanded and given a more church-like look in the process. An approximately 1,700 square foot addition was built on the front of the church, according to Pastor Philip Bloomdahl.
Animals sometimes seem better able to understand people than other people do. At least that's what Molly Hines, author of the newly published "Sir Domingo," suggested Thursday. The book is named after an Arab quarter horse Hines owned for 29 years until he died last year. They developed a relationship so close the horse literally ate the same foods she did, including Starburst and Skittles candy, she said. He'd also drink Diet Pepsi directly from the can. She called the animal her "best friend." Read more in the print version of the Herald Nov. 10.
A single mother, Carla Carlstrom has worked all of her life. But Carlstrom has had to take a break from her employment as a registered nurse at a Spring Valley health care facility after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

i'm a Senior user who desperately needs lots of notes to augment a sagging memory. Now , my notes can't find their way home.
When I make a Note in "Notes" on my 2 iTouchs or iPad, they travel via the Cloud to each portable but not to my desktop iMac. (Lion)
When I get back to the office all the new Notes sync (or have already synced) with all the portable devices but even though the iMac's Mail preferences have the Mailbox Behavior's "Show Noted in Inbox" checked, they aren't anywhere to be found.
Any ideas would be dearly appreciated. (I'm missing a lot of free dinners.)
Many thanks

About the ManufacturerThe Homer Laughlin China Company has been a leader in the design and manufacture of food service and retail china products for over 130 years. Best known for the classic and timeless Fiesta®, The Homer Laughlin China Company manufactures china products in shapes, designs and patterns that continue to delight and satisfy customers. Visitors to The Homer Laughlin China Company and Retail Outlet can expect to find unsurpassed craftmanship, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and the timeless quality of enduring products.
The Homer Laughlin China Company owes its origin to a two kiln pottery on the banks of the Ohio River in East Liverpool, Ohio. Built in 1871 by Homer Laughlin and his brother Shakespeare, the Laughlin Brothers Pottery was one of the first whiteware plants in the country. The turning point in the artistic focus of the company came in 1927 with the addition of noted ceramist Frederick Hurton Rhead. His design vision would culminate in the 1936 introduction of Fiesta®, Homer Laughlin's best selling line, and today one of the most collected china products in the world.
With the introduction of fully vitrified china in 1959, Homer Laughlin was able to participate in the restaurant/hotel markets. Homer Laughlin concentrated its efforts on the food service market and continued to add new shapes, patterns and decorating techniques throughout the 60's and 70's. The reintroduction of Fiesta® in 1986 as a high-fire, fully vitrified, lead free product redefined the standard for both food service and retail china products.
The Homer Laughlin China Company has produced an estimated 25,000 china patterns throughout its 133 year history. A heritage rich in American tradition and innovation has given Homer Laughlin China the fortitude to look to the next century with anticipation of meeting greater challenges.

Matches the description, but a bit smaller than I had pictured.
Valerie from Gahanna, OH – Verified Buyer
This is a beautiful bowl and I am glad I bought it. My only complaint is that it is kind of small. I had imagined more a a serving bowl. In reality it is only a little bigger than a soup bowl. I bought as a gift for my mother-in-law. It is one of the few Fiestware pieces she does not have and I like it because it is a little different from the other pieces.
Able to find it here

Carol from Lakewood, CO – Verified Buyer
This was a gift. Nice because it was a little different than most. Would have been helpful if the description said how many cups it would hold. Came very well packed and in a timely manner. Everyone was pleased with it.
Leslie from Colorado – Verified Buyer
The weight of this bowl means that it lets you know when you are carrying it; it's not necessarily lightweight. To me, this is a good thing. I've had enough of lightweight, somewhat flimsy, serving pieces. This is a GOOD bowl, and I am so glad I purchased it.
