UAW Loss In Chattanooga A Repudiation Of 1930s Unionism
It is 611 miles from the United Auto Workers headquarters in Detroit to Volkswagen's assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tenn. It's a long day's drive, about 10 hours almost entirely on Interstate 75, but it turned out to be too far for the UAW.
Or so one must judge from the results of the unionization election last week in Chattanooga. Volkswagen employees voted 712-626 against certifying the UAW as their bargaining agent. That's not an overwhelming margin. But it's significant. Volkswagen, unlike most employers, didn't oppose the union. It supported it, opening its factory to union organizers but not opponents, announcing it wanted the UAW as a partner in a worker's council similar to the company's council with its IG Metall union in Germany.
Knowledgeable analysts like Steven Pearlstein in the Washington Post clearly anticipated a union victory. Many expressed hopes that it would herald successful UAW organizing drives in other foreign-manufacturer plants in the South and Midwest.
But workers made another choice. It's a big setback for the UAW, whose chances of organizing other foreign-manufacturer plants — where managements oppose unionization — seem as minimal as ever.
And it's a repudiation of the UAW model of unionism, which goes back to the sit-down strikes of early 1937, which enabled the union to organize General Motors and Chrysler (Ford would be organized later, in 1941).
1937 was 77 years ago. To get a sense of how long ago that was, if you go back 77 years before that year, you are in the early weeks of 1860, before Abraham Lincoln delivered the Cooper Union speech that made him a leading candidate in that year's presidential election.
America's economy changed a lot in those 77 years. And it has changed a lot in the 77 years since 1937.
The appeal of the UAW to autoworkers in the 1930s is not hard to understand. The auto companies managed workers according to the theories of Frederick W. Taylor, whose time-motion studies prescribed the most efficient ways to perform simple operations on a moving assembly line. Taylor believed workers should be treated like stupid animals, incapable of adaptation or initiative, who needed to be disciplined to perform the same simple function all day.
Workers hated that work. But they knew in the Depression years that there were many unemployed men who would be happy to take their place.
The UAW argued that, thanks to the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, it could protect workers' jobs and that its shop stewards could protest assembly line speedups by stopping the whole assembly line.
The NLRA's adversarial process came to dominate labor-management relations and attract other workers. By the early 1930s, 35 percent of private sector workers had union representation. That number has fallen drastically since then. There was a slight uptick last year, according to the Labor Department, but the number is still just 7 percent.
Why the shift against unions? The auto industry is a good example. Adversarial unionism prevented the Detroit-based automakers from adopting the flexible labor relations employed by non-unionized foreign-based automakers.
In addition, the Detroit firms' managers were themselves hooked on Taylorism. They saw workers as a lower class of beings who needed to be bridled and saddled like horses.
As a result, foreign-owned automakers produced vehicles of much higher quality. In adversarial-union plants, some workers delighted in sabotaging their cars. In non-union plants, workers came forward with suggestions on how to make them better.
It took a long time for the UAW and Detroit management to acknowledge the problem. As Megan McArdle points out in her new book "The Up Side of Down," organizations that have long been successful are reluctant to change their ways during years of slow, sometimes imperceptible decline.
UAW president, Bob King, says that his union has learned to be cooperative with management. Improved quality of Detroit-made cars and anecdotal evidence that has come my way tend to support that claim.
But Chattanooga's VW workers don't seem to think they need the union to cooperate with the company. They're already working together — and new hires make union-level wages. And workers can't help but notice that the UAW helped push General Motors and Chrysler — and, indirectly, Detroit — into bankruptcy.
The bottom line is that the 1930s adversarial union model has little appeal to workers today. And that few Americans want to head on the road to Detroit.

Two different laptops with one printer
Looking at buying a HP Laser Jet Pro M1212nf. We have one laptop with Windows 7 and a second laptop with Linux. I know the printer can be compatible with LINUX depending on the version, My question is can we easily switch back and between the two laptops with re-configuring each time. We are planning on connecting laptops and the printer via USB when wew would use the printer.
Re: Two different laptops with one printer
Just install the correct full featured software and drivers on each computer and connect the printer following the installation instructions. When you want to use the computer of your choice just plug in the USB cable and it should recognize the printer just fine.
If my post resolved your problem, please mark it as an Accepted Solution ...

The Porter Cable has dominated the beginner's DA polisher market for some time, "BUT NO MORE!" shouts Griot's. They have done the impossible. Bring a powerful jackhammer tool to the market with the precision of a scalpel at a price so low that's it begs to ask, why haven't you bought it yet? How did they do this? I like to see the Griot's as Rocky Balboa. Its the underdog and no matter who or what stands in his way, it will prevail. And like the Rocky series, the third installment was the best yet. Yes, it's the same thing, but better. You don't know why, and you really don't care. This machine has more than enough power for the weekend warrior allowing it to be used by many professionals as well, while still remaining one of the safest polishers you can buy. After long periods of working, it will shake your arm to numbness, but for this price most other polishers will too. I strongly recommend 6in Griot's DA Polisher. Rocky III, on the other hand, not so much...

The Griot's Garage Polisher is a great addition to any detailers arsenal. It is much safer than a rotary buffer and more powerful than the Porter Cable that I used previously. I suggest ditching the backing plate that is included and replacing it with a Meguiar's as they keep things much cooler. I've used my Griot's almost exclusively for the past year without issue. I have heard that the model with the 25' cord has a little more power. Something to take into consideration when determining what to buy.

This machine rocks, very good, much better than a pc. look at the shape of the handle, this is where your hand should be, you get much more even pressure. The pc. has a side handle which doesn't work, also if you remove it, the plastic head cover flops around. Not to mention the GG. is about 20 percent more powerful and it comes with a professional quality backing plate. Plus lifetime warranty through Girot's garage.

Actor-director Makarand Deshpande is all set to introduce Amjad Khan's daughter Ahlam in his film "Miss Sundari", a big screen adaptation of his play "Miss Beautiful".
"My play 'Miss Beautiful' is being converted into a film and Ahlam played her part really well in the play, so I couldn't think of anyone else...I don't know whether she is interested in pursuing her career with films as she has been attached to theatre for a long time," Makrand told IANS.
Made in Hindi, Makrand, however, says it's not a commercial movie.
"I have written, directed and produced the film. The film is ready and we are releasing it by March 2014. It's not a commercial film. It's a very niche and independent film. It's made on a very small budget," he said.
Ahlam has recently delivered a baby but Makrand says she may promote the film.

Matt Damon, John Krasinski and Gus Van Sant call 'Promised Land' their attempt at Capra
NEW YORK -- Focus Features is rallying the discussion around its late-season arrival "Promised Land" with a press day on Monday and an intimate luncheon this afternoon at Aquavit on 59th. Stars/screenwriters Matt Damon and John Krasinski were on hand, as well as director Gus Van Sant.
By way of a brief synopsis, the film tells the story of a fracking company -- Global -- that comes to a small town in the form of Damon's character and his associate, played by Frances McDormand. Their task is to offer money to the citizens for their land in order to drill for natural gas, and the justification is in poor economic times, their offer is a godsend. But what does it mean, beyond environmental ramifications, for a way of life to be shoved aside? That's the question the film attempts to answer in some way.
Van Sant, it turns out, was also a late addition. After working on the script in 2011 with Krasinski, much of the work done while filming Cameron Crowe's "We Bought a Zoo," Damon had the project all prepped to be his directorial debut. But when the production schedule for Neil Blomkamp's "Elysium" began to get too unruly for that to be a reality, he had to bow out, begrudgingly.
"That was the first time as a producer I yelled at Matt," Krasinski said jokingly. "I was like, 'You couldn't tell me this a month ago?' It was right before Christmas and my whole world just fell apart. I was like, 'Well, that's that.'"
But Damon had an ace up his sleeve, so before boarding a plane, he quickly threw a text to Van Sant, with whom he had collaborated on films like "Good Will Hunting" and "Gerry" in the past, and asked the director if he would read the script. Van Sant was happy to tackle it. He saw it as an opportunity to make his Capra movie, and indeed, the famed director of such films as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" was uttered by all three today.
"The Capra movies all have some rousing moment in the end when the character stands up for something," Van Sant said. "That's what I wanted." But that's not what was there originally, it should be noted. Without giving too much away, the script's initial ending featured just one more crooked maneuver in a line of them, albeit a noble one. But Van Sant opted for something else, something broader, in the spirit of Mr. Capra -- and yes, with a speech.
Krasinski first met Damon through his wife, actress Emily Blunt, who had worked with Damon on "The Adjustment Bureau." Damon said that he was immediately impressed by the star of TV's "The Office," and that he reminded him of George Clooney. "For the longest time, everyone just knew Clooney from 'ER,'" he said. "And then everyone said, 'Why is Steven Soderbergh forming a company with the guy from 'ER?' And I think John is similar. He's very talented."
They knew that a film dealing with the issue of fracking was sure to be politicized, but their goal was to steer as far away from that as possible. The rhetoric leading up to release has been all about fracking being more of a backdrop for a story about shifting American values, and it's not nonsense. That's what "Promised Land" is, a tale of American identity and what of that identity people are willing to hold fast to, as well as what they are willing to relinquish.
"Matt's been through the ringer with things being politicized," Krasinski said. "He told me early on, 'You know this is going to become a political thing.' And that's the last we said about it. A lot of it is just fact-based with no conservative or liberal agenda."
Krasinski was passionate about writing the script largely because of his father, who grew up just 10 minutes away from the Pennsylvania filming location outside of Pittsburgh. He was a guy who grew up with no money, and yet that was okay. "He would say, 'No, it was awesome,'" Krasinski recalled. And in an era when the American dream has become less about providing by efficient and humble means than about amassing the most wealth and status possible, that rings a certain note.
"I wrote this with him in mind," Krasinski said. "He'd be on set and say, 'We used to pick apples here.' And it would blow my mind! I'm like, 'Hang on, guys, I'm having this existential moment with my father.'"
Damon, meanwhile, said it was moreover a movie about democracy. "Corporations may be bigger than ever but the power still lies with the people," he said. "So I think it's a pro-community movie."
Filming was completed in late May of this year and post-production moved along swimmingly. Van Sant said they finished it on October 1, in fact, "because Focus Features seemed to indicate that they needed it by then." Assumably that's because the studio felt they needed a little insurance in the awards season, as films like "Moonrise Kingdom" and "Anna Karenina" began to appear like tougher sells on the circuit. But at least the former has gotten indie traction.
Nevertheless, "Promised Land" is a film free of overly accented authorship from Van Sant, who has moved between that and intense stylization with ease throughout his career. It could find its stride in the onslaught of latter-year titles or it could be drowned out. But for this trio, it's been a pleasure to tap into the spirit of a filmmaker who reflected the pulse of the American way for so many years.
"Promised Land" opens in limited release on December 28.

Oh right.. this: Pierce and James Jones were tagged with double technical fouls after a hard foul by Jones that Pierce took umbrage to with 7:59 remaining. Pierce got in Jones' face as referees separated them. Less than a minute later, Pierce and Dwyane Wade earned a double technical for a dust-up when Wade ran hard into a Pierce screen trying to free up teammate Ray Allen. Referee Ed Malloy, who was in the middle of both calls, immediately tossed Pierce on the second infraction. The Heat led 86-74 at the time of Pierce's ejection. ESPN, May 2, 2011 Yep, it's been one year since that event happened. I remember looking at that as one of the worst officiating decisions I've ever seen. It was as terrible a call as I've ever seen. Then there was this incident with KG in a Malloy game: Kevin Garnett's lack of composure didn't lead to a loss. Miami's did.

NOTE: This is a guest post from Lee Crockett, Director of Federal Fisheries Policy at the Pew Environment Group
This post is part of Pew's Overfishing 101 series. Previous posts can be viewed here.
All too often, leaders in Washington focus on the short-term impacts of potential policies to the detriment of long-term benefits to our environment and economy. Ongoing efforts in Congress to weaken the federal laws that govern marine resources are a great case in point.
Take Action: Ask your Member of Congress to support sustainable fishing and real scientific progress.
Currently, 39 of America's most commercially and recreationally important ocean fish populations are subject to overfishing, and 43 have been depleted to unhealthy levels. And while most anglers, myself included, like to catch as many fish as we can, allowing business as usual to continue and delaying rebuilding efforts risk even greater damage to depleted fish populations and those who depend on them.
In other words, while reductions in catch limits certainly affect fishermen in the short-term, the long-term benefits they will enjoy from rebuilt populations far outweigh this temporary impact. Indeed, as studies have shown, healthy fish populations create jobs, support coastal economies, help repair damaged marine ecosystems and provide increased recreational opportunities for anglers like myself to bring home fish for my dinner table more often.
Rebuilding currently depleted species would at least triple the net economic value of many U.S. fisheries (PDF). Estimates of the economic value include:
The formula for achieving these results is spelled out in the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), and it is simple: first, do not allow more fish to be taken in a year than nature can replace. Second, rebuild depleted fish populations.
Nearly 20 percent of America's most commercially and recreationally important species are fished at unsustainable levels, but where the National Marine Fisheries Service has implemented fishery management plans using these two basic principles, there has been great success. I'll give three examples.
We must capitalize on these successes and finish the job of rebuilding valuable U.S. fish populations. The examples above show that taking steps now to reduce fishing pressure on depleted populations will yield benefits for fishermen and the environment well into the future. And they are also a great example of how the MSA, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year, is working.
Take Action: Ask your Member of Congress to support sustainable fishing and real scientific progress.

Does any member of Care2 care that Pew "charitable" Trust and ED support the size limits and derby fisheries that force fishermen to discard tons of perfectly good seafood to slowly die and go to waste? There is a better way. I challenge any member of Care2, ED Pew, or anyone else to a public or private debate about how we can have a responsible harvest of healthy fisheries with very little waste. Does anyone care enough to have an open and honest debate?
Well, that goes without saying, doesn't it?????
We could stop feeding so much of our grains to farm animals if we properly managed our forrest so that more people could enjoy hunting and harvesting their own meat. We could stop pinning fish in confined areas while pumping them full of hormones and antibiotics if we properly managed our oceans and enhanced them with artificial reefs. We could feed everyone healthy sustainably harvested seafood and avoid the forced sterilization some suggest we need to reduce Earth's population.
Ryder, I do not believe ANYTHING that ED reports. They support torturing fish to death and wasting them as a conservation measure. The vegetarian diet you chose and promote pollutes our waters and causes countless animals to slowly die as they are forced out of their habitat to make way for more farm land. We need to responsibly harvest the oceans in a way that ensures they are healthy and feed the world. www.freefish7.com
Chris M People are omnivores, like bears. That means that, unlike leopards or cattle, they have a choice and some, like Massai, live on animal products and others, like Hindus, are vegetarian. Our oceans are being rapidly poisoned and depleted so they CANNOT sustainably feed everyone. There are two ways to reduce the worlds UNSUSTAINABLE population. Natures way: disease or starvation. The human way: destructive wars, or forced reduction as in China. As your post demonstrates, we can't expect rational public action. I would limit children to one per person, two per couple. Those reaching that limit would be sterilized, tied tubes or vasectomy, humanely and free of charge. There would be no need for abortions except voluntarily in cases of rape. Some may consider this inhumane. Try starvation.
if a person can pay for a computer and internet, then they can certainly pay for food.
i never said only america exists and counts. i don't even like america much. but if you think that this article is about the whole world, you should re-read it.
i'm not here to discuss poverty, hunger, etc. that's a different topic. besides, my family is not rich. a vegetarian diet is MUCH less expensive than a meat-based diet. by far. people who think that vegetarian means "macaroni and cheese" just need to be educated. i don't see what's wrong with caring about the environment and informing people about how they could help make it better. knowledge shouldn't offend anyone. everyone is going to make their own choice anyway.
And if you think everybody in the U.S. has ready access to food, let alone healthy food, and nobody ever goes hungry, you need to get out more. We don't have food banks in this country just for the political capital.
First of all, yes, many people from developing countries have access to the Internet. You're just lucky no one's come on here yet from India, Nigeria, South Africa, China, or Indonesia (to name a few) to tell you off for acting as if they live in a stone age and don't have a voice.
Second, the article is definitely talking about fisheries worldwide (since it's actually pretty difficult to talk about national fisheries without also discussing international fisheries). The "Mid-Atlantic" is not within U.S. waters. Neither is most of the Pacific Ocean. Much of the reduction of our national fisheries has occurred due to foreign boats overfishing just outside of our 200-mile limit, or illegally within it, even since that limit was imposed.
Third, since you're insisting on some kind of artificial isolationism in which only America exists and counts, what about the fact that fresh produce and other features of the vegan and vegetarian diets are expensive and even inaccessible in many areas of the U.S.? You're asking people who are already struggling on limited budgets to switch to a costly and unfamiliar diet. When they don't, you accuse them of not caring about the planet. You know, there are far more constructive ways to reduce your carbon print (and your privilege guilt) than to expect people who think "vegetarian" means "macaroni and cheese" to make huge changes in their lives to bring them more into line with your own lifestyle.
And I hate to break this to you, but if
paula, i never said anything about people in the developing world. they have different issues and lifestyles. they also don't have computers/internet like we do, so talking about them being offended is irrelevant. this article is about the united states...it says that many times. my comments pertain to the developed "western" world, where food is easy to come by.
Ryder, your comments only apply to the developed countries in the West. Are you aware of how offensive that sounds to the other two thirds of the world? There are many countries where women and children are fortunate to get any animal protein, which is most of the protein they have access to. When they do get it, it's either fish or eggs. In these countries, to refuse offered food is a grave discourtesy. I lived in a small village in Africa for two years and they were very enthusiastic about eating animals, even to the point of cruelty. But while I did my best to teach them better and kinder animal husbandry (that being my job), it would never have occurred to me to tell people who already had so little that they should turn vegetarian. They had enough problems with malnutrition, already.
Americans are a minority in the world and, regardless of how large a percentage of resources we take per capita, we do not dictate how the world eats, no matter how much we think we do. Your comments sound embarrassingly out of touch and promote the image already existing in many parts of the world that Americans are arrogant and overbearing, and expect everyone else to live like they do, even if that lifestyle is too expensive and high-maintenance for a poor person with access to relatively few resources.
eating animals causes suffering -- not just to the animals, but to us (humans) and our environment.
vegetarian/vegan lifestyles are by no means "extreme"...it's a simple and logical way to live. and health-wise, most people actually would benefit greatly from removing animal products from their diet. there's tons of irrefutable research on that topic.
aquaculture is not yet environmentally sound enough to promote. sure, it may be "environmentally LESS destructive" choice, but saying no to fish all together would completely end the environmental destruction caused by fish farming.

i too was skeptical about the Bowa rumor especially since it came for Dr. Johnson's "sourses"....if the Reds were to hire a manager, i think it should be someone younger...who, i admit i really dont know....or if the Reds really want to think "outside the box" why not give Sparky a two-year deal Saturday night (5/28) during his number retiring ceremony.....just kidding, kind of.....
I think Dr. Johnson is Bud Selig.
I dont believe any of the above Larry Bowa to manage the Reds rumor/trash.
However, here's one thing to remember for anybody wanting Bowa to manage Cincinnati. Larry Bowa has been around for years and hasn't done squat.
If I were running the club, Gullett would he fired tomorrow morning. I would move Vern Ruhle out of the minors and into Gullett's job. If the Reds are still crap at the All-Star break, Miley is out and Jim Leyland is in.
My sources tell me that he's actually an editor at Newsweek.Originally Posted by OldRightHander
I thought he worked for CBS...Originally Posted by NJReds
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
SI has reported that Leyland wants very much to manage again
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
I'd much, much rather have Leyland than Bowa, not that either was going to happen.

I've got to stick up for the boys at Stuttgart.
We bought our R Certified Pre-owned with 30k miles.
We're at 63k, and just had our Service C.
I was looking for detail on these scheduled services and saw this.
We've had little to no problem with our R.
We love it.
It has the space we need to haul me, her, our kid and all of our stuff around.
We haven't had the horror stories others commenting have.
I suppose if I did, I'd come here to complain as well.
The thing we did, and will do as long as we own an MB is get the extended warranties.
They come in handy.
When we do have a problem, it's 95% covered.
We had one problem with a joint in the driver front tire.
Covered completely.
One satisfied MB owner.

I started another thread about our upcoming trip and I stated that I really want to show my grandkids the "Walt" part of the dream. So I am coming to you the experts, and I say that with all seriousness, for some thoughts.
Where do you find "Walt" in the park. Along with places I can show them pictures, buildings, statues, etc. Where can I see them to show them Walt's Dream. Where do you find it? I find it when I first turn onto Main St. and see the castle out in front of me with the patners statue right in the middle.
I am very serious about this, I want the kids to realize that it was a dream for him and he made it happen. While they are still young enough to believe in dreams.

Can KTM build a significantly lighter 700-800cc twin? Is there a market for it?
View Single Post

There's a market for . . .
. . . an engaging motorbike, whatever it's target application(s) or customer(s).
Maybe it's because I spend too much time analyzing numbers for a living but . . . requirements ? These specifications for "smaller & lighter" are largely a reaction to the pachyderm's masquerading as "adventure" bikes in the market.
But numbers are a bit of a trap, too. Just sit around a bunch of Japanese 600 sportbike riders or watch one of their forums. The bench racing is incredible. A never ending arms race with almost NO discussion of the things many if not most riders get on a bike for . . . sense of engagement, freedom, sensation.
The best 600 (whatever that is) doesn't change the truism that "it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow".
KTM's venerable 950/990 win few bench races. The GS has lost alot of weight and has more power. But the RIDING experience . . . (minus the awful KTM windscreen) . . . hard to enter "smile factor" in a spreadsheet.
The "new" bike should be fun, not an assembly of numbers or "desired" specifications. It should inspire, not impress. 80 HP ? Don't know where you're gonna use that in the dirt. Lower weight ? Sounds good. Love my ADV but riding solo in remote areas . . . one picks lines very carefully. On the 5th pickup it's a bit tiring or worse.
The CofG should be low. My DRZ feels heavier at slow speed than my ADV. The riding experience and it's application is alot more important than the numbers, purely. It's a motorbike - no one NEEDS one in the western world.
SOHC ? Think you could still build a competitive engine in terms of power, maintenance and engagement ? The current LC8 certainly meets those requirements for anyone whose ridden one.
Finally, whose gonna buy this bike ? The 7-bike platform is great IF the base is actually appealing. I live near a jungle in northern Thailand and have a house in a silly remote area of the Sierra in northern CA. Few riders live near their destinations. The bike has got to have decent fuel and oil-change capacity because it's going to see tarmac. There are some difficult requirements to reconcile. The only easy way for many of them is a recognition of physics, particularly inertia. Get the weight DOWN and LOW.
Would I buy a V-twin (probably not a parallel twin - those motors have not put many smiles on my face), that weighed 350 WET, with a single 320mm disc and at least enough of a sub-frame to support soft luggage (really, who even wants hard bags for "real adventure") . . . oh, that had 75HP ?
In a heatbeat. My guess is that market is REALLY small. Where (and how often) can you use it and how many actually would. Plus, that bike actually puts expectations, not affectations on the rider's image. That's not a recipe for sales success in the world I live in.

We are always looking for ways to reinvent the burger and this ramen burger from Kirbie's Cravings is certainly a hit. Instead of buns, this burger is held together by pan fried ramen noodles. You can choose to go beef, chicken, or even vegetarian with the patty. If you have a little extra cash, Kobe beef patties would be a splurge but very delicious. For full recipe instructions, click here.

This year's IOP-STFC Physics Journalism Prize has been awarded to Cynthia Graber for her feature 'Electric Shock: Could electricity be the key to unlocking human regeneration?, published at MATTER.
In the award-winning article, Cynthia, a freelance print and radio journalist based in Massachusetts, investigates the work of Professor Michael Levin, the Director of Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology, to improve our understanding of the role electricity plays in regenerating living cells.
The judges of this year's prize were unanimous in their decision to award the prize to Cynthia, highlighting and praising Cynthia's ability to bring the intrigue of Professor Levin's work to life while still accurately portraying the scientific process.
The judges were particularly delighted to be awarding the prize designed to inspire the next generation of physicists by encouraging journalists to grapple with often complex topics and help spread excitement about the subject for an article which highlights the inter-disciplinary nature of physics research.
Professor Dame Athene Donald, an honorary fellow of the Institute of Physics (IOP), Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Cambridge and one of the prize's judges, said, "It was a joy to read this intriguing article by Cynthia and it was good to see the winning entry demonstrate such an interesting example from the breadth of issues for which physics is so pertinent.
"Too often physics is thought of as quite a narrow, self-contained subject, instead of as a way of thinking that underpins many other disciplines."
Professor Donald was joined on the judging panel by the editor of HE, Alison Goddard, Martin Ince from the Association of British Science Writers, the Chief Executive of the British Science Association, Imran Khan, and the Head of Communications from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), Terry O'Conno

Emergencies are often associated with adverse weather conditions. Sometimes the weather has actually caused the emergency, or it may just be an unlucky coincidence. For whatever reason, it's a fact that when a situation comes up requiring emergency police, they rarely have good visibility to do their job.
Fog and precipitation can cost lives. Emergency police are usually trying to get people out of the affected area and direct them to a safer place, and they often find themselves hampered by fog and precipitation. Lights are also needed to warn people away from problem areas. In some situations, emergency police are trying to find people and get aid to them, a job that requires plenty of light.
In other instances, dependable lighting is needed to make a place highly visible and keep out vandals or looters. For this function, lighting is needed that is bright and shining from more than one direction to eliminate shadows.
Lighting is also needed to simply identify emergency police and let people know where they are. Besides the official vehicles that need to be identified, it may be necessary to use a bright light as a beacon to establish a gathering point. Medical facilities can be brightly lit to make them easier to find in chaotic situations.
Emergency police lighting is specifically made for all these jobs. Lighting units come in a range of sizes, shapes and functions for different uses and modes of deployment. In places where they must be left in place for some time, lights are made that attach with bolts or can even be welded onto a metal surface. In other places where lights must be placed or removed at a moment's notice, there are models that attach with magnets or rubber suction cups.
All these units now use LED lighting elements rather than incandescent bulbs. The brightness of these elements, sometimes maximized by a technique called priority one linear optics, makes them perfect for penetrating fog, precipitation or smoke.
However, all LED emergency police lights are not the same. Some manufacturers cut corners by using plastic for the cases rather than metal. These units do not have a good track record in tough emergency situations, so they should be avoided. There are emergency police lights on the market that have strong metal cases, and these will more than pay for themselves in added lifespan.

Adam Shatz's portrait of Algerian writer Kamel Daoud—on whom I posted last December—is up on The New York Times website (it will appear in hard copy in this Sunday's NYT Magazine). It's an excellent piece—as one would expect from Adam—and is as much about contemporary Algeria as about Daoud himself. It's a must-read for anyone with an interest in that country but also in the Arab world more generally.
On the subject of Algeria, France 3's weekly documentary television series, Thalassa—a great program and popular; I've been watching it off-and-on for decades—will be entirely consecrated to Algeria this Friday (April 3rd). Anyone with the slightest interest in Algeria will want to watch it. It will be on replay on the program's website for a week following the broadcast.
