Team Preview: Catholic-BR Bears
Tensey Pricer
In four of the past five years, Catholic-Baton Rouge has won at least 10 games and the faithful are hoping for another season like that. With 10 total starters back and the proven depth that the Bears are known to produce, there is plenty of reason for high expectations for 2010.

Yellow banana skin drawings – After LaPieza [work in progress]
I am preparing work I will be submitting to the Jerwood drawing prize.This drawing of banana skins is very similar to a piece of work I made for LaPieza gallery in Madrid. I would prefer to mount each banana skin on the wall individually, but for practical reasons I will need to mount this work […]
Banana skin drawings at Lapieza
Both coloured and black and white banana skin drawings are in situ at Lapieza. Continuing Lapieza's theme of junk art.
Yellow banana skin drawings
Using different coloured paper I've continued to draw banana skins.This yellow paper is relevant to the kind of colour normally associated with banana skins.More of these yellow banana skin drawings will be added.

Around 3 weeks ago, we rode over our favorite mountain and stopped for a break at a small local grocery store before we started back over the mountain. I got my usual peanut butter and crackers and some Gatorade. A couple of the guys got snacks plus a can of Red Bull.
During the mountain ride the week previous, a solo ride, I did stop and get a Coke about thirty miles from the end of the ride. The Coke, caffeine + sugar + water, seemed to help.
I'm wondering if anyone has used Red Bull during a ride and what effect it had, good, bad, or indifferent?

ARL participates in Directed Energy to DC (DE2DC) Exhibition
April 17, 2012
By Jenna Brady, U.S. Army Research Laboratory
Related Links
Recently, the Directed Energy to DC (DE2DC) Exhibition event was held in the Congressional Rayburn House Building in Washington, D.C. The Directed Energy Professional Society organized and executed logistic arrangements under the sponsorship and support of the Congressional Directed Energy (DE) Caucus and the High Energy Laser-Joint Technology Office (HEL-JTO).
The purpose of this event was to inform U.S. Congressional members, including the newly formed DE Caucus, on the state-of-the-art DE weapon technologies being researched and developed at leading U.S. government labs and defense companies.
The technologies will provide unprecedented solutions to defeat missile/RPG attacks and effectively protect our troops.
The 12 exhibitors included the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), the Air Force Research Laboratory (Kirtland), Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, L-3, General Atomics, BAE Systems and others.
Dr. Jiang Liu and Gary Carhart of ARL's Computational and Information Sciences Directorate presented the innovative internal phase-locking 7- and 19-channel fiber laser array system developed under ARL mission and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and HEL-JTO programs.
Many legislative professional staff and fellows visited the exhibition where they engaged in detailed discussions.
Four congressional members including Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Buck McKeon, Maryland Congressman Roscoe Bartlett, and the DE Caucus leaders, Representative Martin Heinrich and Representative Doug Lamborn, came to visit the exhibition and conversed with scientists and engineers at the presentation where they pledged continuing support for the DE technology in their legislative and budgetary capacities.

I got the same comment when i tried it out on a few friend so i decided to change the name. I used 1/4 cup as well, thanks for pointing that out.
Rating5/5 (from 1 ratings)5
YieldMakes 2-3 cups
1 cup almonds
½ cup sunflour seed
¼ cup shredded coconut
3 tablespoon tahini
1 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoon raw honey
3 tablespoon raisins (optional), soaked 1 hour
Recipe Directions
I used a blender, but it was working pretty hard so id recomend using a food processor instead.
Grind nuts to a meal.
Add shreded coconut and tahini then blend.
Add the coconut milk and honey and blend until you get an even creamy mixture.
Add soaked raisins and mix in by hand.
Enjoy as a dip with your favourite fruits or if you want tapioca pudding just add water slowly until desiered texture.
Violet.eye's ThoughtsBy violet.eye
This dip is very addictive and great with pears or apples.

I tried this and it was very tasty though I didn't quite get the tapioca hit off of it. Shredded coconut is referenced in the instructions but isn't listed in the ingredients. I used 1/4 cup but could you amend to show the amount? Thanks!
That sounds great! Tapioca pudding is often something I crave when I'm totally raw.
Thats an idea. I haven't bought any, their so expensive here! Im sure it would be a great addition though.
Have you thought of adding chia seeds? They give a texture similar to tapioca pearls when they touch wet substances.

WALLA WALLA — A 23-year-old area man pleaded guilty Monday in Superior Court to causing a female acquaintance to have sexual contact with him without her consent in the 00 block of North Clinton Street last fall.
Joseph W. Starr entered the guilty plea to the charge of indecent liberties without forcible compulsion.
He faces a standard-range prison term of 31-41 months when he's sentenced. The prosecution is recommending the high end of that range.
Starr initially was accused of indecent liberties by using force, which would have resulted in a prison term of 67-89 months. But the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge if he pleaded guilty.
Officials said Starr and the victim were walking with a group of people Nov. 23 when she dropped and broke her phone and he stayed behind to help her pick up the pieces.
Starr started kissing and touching the girl inappropriately, then pushed her to the ground, got on top of her and started to drag her into a stairwell near some apartments, officials said.
She told authorities she screamed at him to stop, and one of the males from the group she was hanging out with pushed Starr off of her and started beating him up, according to a police report filed in court.
Starr, of 620 S.E. Eighth St., No. 420, College Place, was arrested Feb. 8.

Heartland Express, Inc. Reports Revenues and Earnings for the Fourth Quarter of 2012 NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa, Jan. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heartland Express, Inc. (Nasdaq:HTLD) announced today financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Operating revenues for the quarter increased 3.8% to $136.2 million from $131.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Operating income for the three month period was negatively impacted by a $4.1 million decrease in gains on disposal of property and equipment.Net income was $14.3 million compared to $17.1 million in the 2011 period, a 16.5% decrease.Basic earnings per share decreased 14.4% to $0.17 from $0.20 reported in the fourth quarter of 2011.Fuel surcharge revenues for the quarter increased 5.6% to $28.0 million from $26.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.For the quarter, Heartland Express, Inc. (the "Company") posted an operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues) of 81.9% and a 10.5% net margin (net income as a percentage of operating revenues) compared to 79.5% and 13.0%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of last year. Operating revenues for the year increased 3.2% to $545.7 million from $528.6 million in the prior year.Operating income forthe year was negatively impacted by a $17.0 million decrease in gains on disposal of property and equipment.Net income was $61.5 million compared to $69.9 million in the 2011 period, a 12.0% decrease.Basic earnings per share decreased 8.2% to $0.72 from $0.78 reported in 2011.Fuel surcharge revenues for the year increased 4.3% to $112.4 million from $107.8 million in the prior year.For the year, the Company posted an operating ratio of 82.6% and an 11.3% net margin compared to 79.8% and 13.2%, respectively, reported last year. The Company continues to experience significant swings in fuel expense from quarter to quarter.Fuel expense increased $3.2 million or 8.2% during the quarter and $7.1 million or 4.4% during the year, primarily due to an increase in average fuel prices over the similar prior periods.The U.S. average cost of fuel was $4.015 per gallon during the fourth quarter of 2012, a 3.7% increase over the fourth quarter of the prior year and $3.971 for the year, a 3.2% increase from the prior year. The Company continues to focus on fuel surcharge pricing, truck idling hours, overall tractor fuel economy, and fuel purchasing decisions in an effort to lessen the impact of higher fuel costs. The average age of the Company's tractor fleet was 2.4 years as of December31, 2012 with all of the fleet being 2010 models and newer.The Company took delivery of 225 new trucks during the fourth quarter which included ProStar Plus International and Freightliner Cascadia models.An additional 675 new trucks will be received throughout the first quarter of 2013 to complete this current upgrade. The average age of the Company's trailer fleet improved to 3.1 years at December31, 2012 compared to 4.1 years at December31, 2011, with 96% of our trailers being 2007 models and newer at year end.The Company took delivery of 1,864 new Wabash trailers during the year including 890 during the fourth quarter.The Company sold 1,292 trailers during the year including 119 trailers during the fourth quarter.These continued fleet upgrades keep our tractor and trailer fleets in late model equipment which the Company believes is a key component of delivering quality customer service.These fleet upgrades also allow us to maintain our strong industry CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores. The Company ended the year with cash, cash equivalents, and long-term investments totaling $139.9 million, a $50.4 million decrease from the $190.3 million reported at December 31, 2011.Consistent with 2011, net cash flows from operations continued to be strong at 18.7% of operating revenues during 2012.Our reduction in cash and investments during the year was mainly the result of capital expenditures for the year of $37.6 million primarily for new tractors and trailers, net of equipment sale proceeds related to our trailer and tractor fleet upgrade programs, dividend payments of $91.9 million and payments for stock repurchases of $24.2 million.The Company funded these current year expenditures through the use of cash generated from operations as well as $32.4 million in calls, at par, received on illiquid auction rate securities.The Company continues to maintain a debt-free balance sheet with total assets of $467.7 million.The Company ended the year with a return on total assets of 11.6% and a 17.7% return on equity compared to 13.0% and 19.9%, respectively, during 2011. Commitment to our shareholders continues through the payment of cash dividends and the repurchase of common stock.A dividend of $1.02 per share was declared and paid during the quarter. The Company has now paid cumulative cash dividends of $436.5 million, including three special dividends, over the past thirty-eight consecutive quarters. In addition, the Company purchased 2.1% of its outstanding shares during the year at a cost of $24.2 million. Total shares repurchased during the year were 1.8 million including 0.7 million in the fourth quarter.

My Bordeaux Pocket Book
After learning that I had been shortlisted for a Born Digital Wine Award, yesterday turned into a good-news double-whammy with a knock on the door, and the long-awaited arrival of my book (well, OK, it's actually only been two weeks since it went to print, but it felt like a long time). I've been working on this project for months and months, and it was amazing to finally hold a copy in my hands. And, although I am more than a little bit biased, I am over the moon with the finish on the final product.
A little bit more detail for you; it's a magbook, so a sort of magazine-book hybrid. But with its A5 size and firm, card-like cover it feels more like a pocket book than a magazine to me. Inside is a mix of news, profiles, guidance and vintage reports, with hopefully something for everybody; a generic vintage guide for Bordeaux beginners, more detail on a selection of interesting châteaux for those more familiar with the region, and reports on the latest vintage and all the latest news for those who know the region well and just want to get to grips with what's new.
And when I write latest news, I mean latest. I'm particularly pleased with the 'current' feel of the product. Most wine guides are already out of date by the time they hit the shelves, the copy for the book often having been submitted a year before you hand over your cash. Here, the short time between finishing the copy and holding the book in my hand (as noted above, a couple of weeks) means the news within is definitely not dated. I include a report on the 2011 Bordeaux vintage (added after my return from the Bordeaux primeurs in April) as well as other Bordeaux news from the past couple of months (as well as important snippets from 2011 of course).
I haven't held back from expressing this in the introduction – nor from criticising some other elements of the annually published pocket wine guides!
What should also appeal is the asking price. I was tempted to countdown the figures here (must be the latent market trader within me) but maybe I'll just come straight out with it: £6.99. Not a typo: £6.99. It will be available in hard copy in the UK with some copies going out to the Far East, the USA and a few to Australia. A major point of sale will be airport shops (WH Smith and the like), but happily in this modern era it should also be available through online retailers such as Amazon (it's not listed yet though, to save you the time checking) and of course there will be electronic formats for Kindle in Amazon, and it should be available as an iBook.
Now I just need to read what the book-reviewing wine-writing community think of the product. Nervous, me? Absolutely.
Update: From myy publisher's comments below, the book is available online now from Zinio, and will on the shelves and with Amazon from May 24th. Kindle and iBook versions to follow!

7014 Miami Rd.
Madeira, OH 45243
ph: 513-561-2117
The Madeira Woman's Club sponsors the annual Madeira Art Fair, held the first Sunday in May, 11:00-5:00, rain or shine. Miami Avenue is lined with white tents full of fabulous offerings including water colors, oil paintings, pottery, photography, jewelry, and other art. Food and beverages are on sale and music is provided by the Hills of Kentucky Dulcimer Club.
The proceeds from the sales at the Clothes Closet resale shop and the Madeira Art Fair fund three college scholarships each year. This year's scholarships of $2000 each will be presented to two graduating seniors and an adult woman who is continuing her education at college level.
Other money donations have gone to Senior Citizens, Tender Mercies, Salvation Army's September 11th New York City disaster recovery fund, Food Bank, and Organ Transplant fund for Patrick Wood, to name a few. The Madeira/Indian Hill Fire Company usually has a list of needed equipment that we help them purchase. In the past this has been anything from mannequins to supplies and equipment used by paramedics. Each year we purchase $400 to $500 worth of batteries for the many toys and electronic equipment used by patients in the Shrine Hospital of Cincinnati.
Other projects include Ohio Reads tutoring and organ transplants. We participate in Madeira community activities, the Madeira Holiday Walk, and the Memorial Day and Fourth of July Parades. The MWC does the judging for the Madeira City Council annual Christmas home decoration contest. With the end of the Clothes Closet, our consignment shop, we will be creating new fund-raising projects.
Get together to play WIZARD. Call Jackie Dewitt for info, at 513-793-8330 or 513-378-4392.
Club meetings feature entertaining and informative programs, such as:
* "Conveying Your Thoughts to Readers" by Paul Daugherty
* "Tai Chi" by Ed Bunch
* "Politics -- Good and Bad" by Tom Brinkman, former Ohio Representative
* "Domestic Violence" by Judge Heather Russell
* "Mower Boy" by Roger Grein
* "Women's Health Issues" by Dr. Matt Finke
* "Beauty Has No Age" presented by the Cincinnati Art Museum
* "The Wish Book" by Rhonda Keith Stephens, author and MWC member
The MWC is a strong center of Madeira's social community. Members have toured Green Acres in Indian Hill, attended fashion shows in Oxford, Ohio, participated in Girls' Night Out, gone to the Cincinnati Art Museum, and shopped at a furrier in Kentucky.
A small group of Madeira Woman's Club members get together the fourth Monday of each month to discuss books they have read, choosing a different book each month. Madeira Library orders several copies for the group so each person does not have to buy the book the group is reading. Lively discussions take place each month.
The Madeira Woman's Club is a member of the national General Federation of Woman's Clubs.
Join Us!
To become a member talk to Jackie DeWitt at 513-793-8330 or 513-378-4392. Prospective members are welcome to attend meetings, which will be announced here.

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Assume the theorem that a continuous bounded function on a closed interval is bounded and attains its bounds. Prove that if f: R -> R is continuous and tends to +[tex]\infty[/tex] as x tends to +/- [tex]\infty[/tex] then there exists an x0 in R such that f(x) [tex]\geq[/tex] f(x0) for all x in R. 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution I think I understand the basic idea behind this but I'm not sure that my proof is rigorous enough. R is not closed or bounded, however as x tends to +/- infinity f(x) tends to infinity, so won't affect its minimum value (do I need to prove this? If so, how?) So to consider the minimum value of f we can consider a closed bounded interval [a,b] a,b in R By the assumed theorem, f is bounded on this interval and attains its bounds, so there exists an x0 in [a,b] such that f(x0) = inf f(x) in the interval [a,b] By definition of an infimum we then know that f(x) [tex]\geq[/tex] f(x0) for all x in R.

AMD DB800 Hangs at "Decompressing Coreboot to Ram"
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Patch Status:
|patch needs review
A vanilla build of r4971 appears to hang at the "Decompressing Coreboot to Ram" message when run on the Zoom DB800 development board.
After tearing this down, it appears that the code pre "call cbfs_and_run_core" (and post done_cache_as ram_main) in cache_as_ram.inc for the geode appears to have gained some code from the crt0.S.lb generic i386 infrastructure.
From the end of "done_cache_as_ram_main" to the point of calling cbfs_and_run_core appears to attempt to "reset" the stack after flushing the cache.
This causes the subsequent calls to printk_debug() (or related functions) to fail.
(CONSOLE_DEBUG_TX_STRING would also appear to not clean up after itself)
Solution is to leave the stack as is until the copy to ram has completed.
Patch attached as tested working on Zoom AMD DB800 board, 256MB of RAM, 1024k Flash (SST 49LF008A).

Patch to remove extraneous stack creation on geode lx
comment:1 Changed 6 years ago by marcj303@…
Sorry, I don't understand why moving the stack is a problem. Does that stack not work at that location? Have you done some stack push/pop tests or other memory tests?
comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by edwin_beasant@…
Hi there:
I've run both a ram test and also checked using push/pop - at least for basic operations, the stack seems to function fine at the new location.(including adding debug that writes raw to the serial port to effectively single step trace the problem).
But: After the stack move to 0x400000, then all the previously functioning printk_* functions fail (as does the entire boot process, printk just is the first thing that occurs after the stack move).
A similar failure also occurs if the stack is not moved, and the cache is invalided and written back (wbinvd at done_cache_as_ram_main:). (might be a candidate for trying mb instead).
Hope this provides some more info.
pre-stack move, printk and other functions are fine, post stack move use causes "hang".
I've also been cautious of the CONSOLE_DEBUG_TX_STRING(), need to run some more tests to possibly bisect a little more.
This code was pulled in as a lump with the CBFS transition, along with the interesting caveat that warned that this place was a good place to start! (trac search for geode and cbfs will show it)
Any help appreciated: this patch is what works for me, consistently and reliably.

Is there any reason to use coreboot v2 instead of v3 on the AMD DB800 target?
comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by edwin_beasant@…
I was following the caveats on the front page of coreboot.org download page that most of coreboot v3 has been merged back to the coreboot main repository, and that coreboot v3 branch was now obselete?
comment:5 Changed 6 years ago by hailfinger
v3 is obsolete in theory. However, if you have any GeodeLX target, v3 is the preferred branch because it works very well. v2 is not recommended for GeodeLX until someone ports all the v3 GeodeLX code to v2.
comment:6 Changed 6 years ago by anonymous
Hmm. I did try v3 but had no luck getting it to build. I'll try harder.
In the meantime, this patch does get you a working DB800 board....
comment:7 Changed 6 years ago by hailfinger
Very odd. I just downloaded latest svn of v3, ran "make menuconfig", picked Mainboard->AMD-DB800, save&exit, ran "make" and got an image. Can you tell us about the error message you're seeing in the v3 build?
comment:8 Changed 6 years ago by edwin_beasant@…
V3 issues resolved : someone had messed up the gcc install (how I will never know) on our build system. Coreboot v3 sucessfully built and running on a db800. if only seabios didn't reset on execution now :-) Anyway, I guess it might be an idea to park the patch until v3 DB800 is backported to v2? Thanks again, Edwin
comment:9 Changed 6 years ago by hailfinger
I'm happy to hear that v3 now works. I don't know about SeaBIOS/v3 interactions. It could also depend on which VSA you're using.
comment:10 Changed 6 years ago by edwin_beasant@…
Yup, v3 works very nicely... the reset on 'run payload' seems oddly related to the volume of debugging output created (high level=reset on payload jump, regardless of payload). Working on that one now!
comment:11 Changed 6 years ago by edwin_beasant@…
Properly fixed in this patch:
- Cache now flushed to RAM correctly via tag-invalidate and winbvd
- Cache re-enabled at startup, fixes slow coreboot copy
- Added cache configuration MSR's in V3 style

Is this patch still needed? Can you please try with the latest v4 HEAD revision?

I ordered this flannel duster in my first trimester of pregnancy knowing I'd need a roomy robe for the cooler months of my last trimester. Now that I am approaching my 8 month of pregnancy and the weather is cooler, I can't wait to get home to my nightly shower and slip into this robe. It is so soft and comfy, I'd personally like to live in it 24/7! I am so in love with it, I've asked my Hubby to order the pink one for me as a Christmas gift, so I can have two. This will also double as a great nursing robe after my baby's birth due to the easy access of the snap front. Thanks National for carrying such practical and versatile intimates.

I bought three of these for myself and I love them! Since I like robes to run large, I purchased the 1X. One hundred percent flannel dusters are hard to find now, and these are by far the best I've ever owned. In fact I'm purchasing one for my daughter-in-law's birthday gift!

About Me Comfort-oriented
I bought this because I had ankle surgery, and was limited in mobility. On the couch, in a wheelchair or knee scooter. I wanted something that made me feel dressed when friends came over, but comfortable. I could not use pants of any kind and a nightgown all day was not it. So this is a great housecoat! Being the winter in South Carolina, I needed something warm, but not too warm like a heavy flannel.

Employment law is a specialist field for Aston Brooke Solicitors Ltd.
Our Head of Employment Law is KuldeepS. Clair, a senior solicitor with well over a decade of post-qualification experience in this particular area. This includes drafting of documentation, as well as representation/advocacy in courts and tribunals in high value claims.
We act for both employers and employees to provide cost-effective, pro-active advice, whether it relates to employment documentation, agreements, disputes, grievances, or tribunal claims.
For the employer…
If you are an employer, Aston Brooke prides itself on its understanding of the commercial realities of business, and employment law within business.
-Defending a tribunal claim
-Drafting employment contracts, handbooks, and HR documentation
-Disciplinary /grievance procedures for an employee
-Settlement (compromise) agreements
-Transfer of employer (TUPE) and out-sourcing
-Unfair dismissal claims
-Harassment, bullying, victimisation claims
Defending a tribunal/court claim
If one of your employees, or ex-employees, brings an employment claim against you, you will need to seek advice quickly to find out how to best deal with it.
You must respond within the given response period, usually 28 days. We can advise on your rights and prospects of successfully defending any claim. If you do not respond adequately within time, judgement may be eventually entered against you, and it is possible for this to be enforced in the civil courts.
It may be that the most sensible course is to try to reach a sensible settlement at an early stage, if there is a likelihood of some degree of liability on your part.
Defending a claim to the end on your own can be complicated, time-consuming, and tiresome. However, you may understandably want to take that course, particularly if we advise that you have a good defence, and you want to stand firm as a matter of principle. We can represent you, dealing with all the intermediate stages, leading to advocacy at the final hearing. Alternatively, you may prefer us to just provide advice on how you can deal with the case yourself.
You can find out more about the employment tribunal process at www.employmenttribunals.gov.uk
Drafting employment contracts, handbooks, and HR documentation
It is vital that your employees' contracts and staff handbooks are thorough and up-to-date with contemporary employment law. You may believe that old documentation is effective, but the truth is that employment is one of the fastest developing areas of English law today, and your documentation may need to be renewed so that you are clear as to your basic liabilities.
If you require a new standard template of your employees' contract, we can arrange this for you. Or you may wish to alter the standard terms of all existing employees as well. Whether proposed alterations are permissible depends upon the reasons and all the circumstances; we can advise further.
You may need advice on whether to include or extend a clause which restricts employees from what they can or cannot do after leaving your employment. This usually involves employees at a professional /executive level, and often covers setting up in business in competition with you, or working for a competing employer. Such clauses are known as 'restrictive covenants'.
However, such a clause is only actually enforceable within strict limits and must be drafted very carefully, otherwise it will not be valid; it depends on the circumstances. We can advise on the drafting of such a covenant, what kind of covenant is likely to meet your needs, and how broadly it could be drafted.
Disciplinary / grievance procedures for an employee
All employers must have proper procedures in place for dealing with grievances and disciplinary processes. If you go to link to our article on this issues here, you can see the kind of steps that employers must take to ensure that everything has indeed been done properly, so that no scope exists for criticism before a tribunal.
In addition, the ACAS website at www.acas.org.uk provides useful information on generally accepted fair employment procedures, which, though not legally enforceable, will help to show that you have adopted the correct open spirit when faced with employment difficulties.
Allegations against an employee which are disputed should always be investigated properly. You should allow an employee to be accompanied to any disciplinary hearing by a colleague, although you do not usually have to allow a lawyer to accompany an employee. The employee should be allowed to put his/her case properly and there should be an internal appeal procedure as well.
Compromise agreements or settlement agreements
You may want an employee to leave and reach a swift amicable ending to the employment relationship, without the threat of being a tribunal claim hanging over you. You may be willing to pay the employee an agreed sum, more than the strict entitlement, and may require undertakings from the employee regarding confidentiality.
Entering into a compromise agreement or settlement agreement is the only way that you can do that which is valid and enforceable. We will draw up a properly worded compromise terms on terms most favourable to you, and it must be agreed with an authorised lawyer representing your employee, who also signs it.
It is important to realise that simply 'paying off' an employee, without entering into a proper agreement does not guarantee that he will not seek to make a claim against you in a tribunal a few months later. You can only do that by a settlement agreement.
Such an agreement are now known as a settlement agreements, although it is likely that the old term 'compromise agreement' will continue to be used for a while yet. The fundamental underlying principles remain the same.
Redundancy situations
Redundancy is where an employee is threatened because his/her job probably will not exist any longer, usually for an underlying economic reason.
It is possible for you to dismiss fairly on the ground of redundancy but only if:
-the circumstances fulfil the proper legal definition of redundancy
-a proper appropriate consultation exercise has been gone through
-there has been a fair selection process for redundancy, using transparent objective criteria for selecting those employees who are going to be made redundant.
Common selection criteria include the 'last in, first out' rule, or some kind of performance-based assessment. The circumstances of each situation are so wide-ranging that it is really just a matter of judgment to assess what criteria would probably make redundancy selection fair.
Even if the redundancy is fair, an employee is entitled to a statutory minimum redundancy payment as long as s/he has been employed for at least two years. The precise payment depends upon length of employment, age, and earnings, up to a maximum cap. It may be possible to negotiate an agreed amount of compensation through a compromise agreement or settlement agreement. (HYPERLINK to 'Compromise agreements or settlement agreements'). By reaching such a proper voluntary compromise agreement which is accepted by the employee, you will be able to exclude any further legal proceedings.
Transfers of employer (TUPE) and out-sourcing
TUPE is a technical shorthand used by lawyers for situations in employment law where an employment relationship is transferred and taken over by another employer. This can be due to a takeover of the employer-company, or out-sourcing or in-sourcing of a particular service. The law itself is constantly being refined and is very technical.
TUPE only applies when the actual employer changes or is going to change. The legal position is that the employees basically retain the same rights as before, despite the change of employer, subject to certain exceptions. If you are the old employer, you will need to seek advice on your continuing liability to your former employees, and how you can indemnify yourself against that liability by wording your transfer agreement appropriately.
In a TUPE situation, employment law issues arise amongst a myriad of general commercial law issues, which are far too complicated to detail here, but we can advise on all these matters.
You may be in the position of a 'new' employer, who is seeking to change or 'harmonise' employment terms, relating to all employees, including those from the 'old employer' that you have just taken on. We can advise on whether you can do that, and whether employees may be obliged to accept any variations proposed. Every case depends upon its own circumstances.
You may wish to effectively make redundant some employees following a 'TUPE' transfer, where you have taken over an existing business. Can you do that legitimately without incurring severe liabilities for unfair dismissal? Again, there are no simple answers; we can advise further.
Unfair Dismissal claims
Unfair dismissal is of course the largest broad single category within the field of employment law. Certain grounds, categorised separately, are automatically unfair if an employee can proves one to be the reason for the dismissal. These include pregnancy, health and safety, and whistleblowing.
For the main general other grounds, a dismissal may still be unfair if you, as the employer, cannot establish the reason clearly, or you have not gone through a proper process of investigation. See also our separate article (HYPERLINK to 'Article-discip issues') on procedures in conduct/capability cases. These grounds are:
1 Conduct – you must investigate any alleged misconduct properly, not jump to conclusions without evidence, give the employee a proper chance to put his/her case, and offer an opportunity to appeal.
Minor misconduct does not warrant a dismissal for the first offence, and two or three warnings should be sufficient for offences committed within a couple of years.
Gross misconduct is more serious, and usually involves offences such as theft, fraud, assault, and a wilful refusal to obey reasonable instructions. An immediate dismissal may be justified if the procedures are gone through properly. We can advise on what you need to do ensure that your procedures have been fair, in order to avoid an expensive claim for unfair dismissal.
2 Capability – this is where an employee is alleged not to be able to do his/her job due to a lack of skill, ability, aptitude, or physical/mental ability.
You should always go through a systematic process before taking the drastic step of dismissal on this ground. There should be clear objective evidence of a lack of performance over time. You should be given the opportunity to improve, with clear objectives, and adequate coaching/training being made available.
If the alleged incapacity has a medical/physical origin, you need to be wary of a possible disability discrimination claim.
Unlawful discrimination can occur either in the course of work or in the recruitment process, and can cover the actions of managers, directors and colleagues.
The basic grounds for discrimination specified in the Equality Act 2010 are race, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, and religion/belief.
Discrimination may be direct or indirect. Direct discrimination is easier to claim, if it does occur, but occurs relatively rarely these days. Indirect discrimination is where conditions have been imposed which prevent an employee from advancing in the same way as, for instance, a white person, or a man. For instance not allowing a woman sufficiently flexible working hours to enable her to care for a child may be discriminatory.
Discrimination cases can be notoriously difficult to defend without professional assistance, and the law is very complex in relation to discrimination and there have been recent well-publicised cases where the European Court of Human Rights has come into play with domestic discrimination law (HYPERLINK 'Article – HRA and emp').
Harassment, bullying or victimisation claims
Any persistent unwanted conduct by others towards an employee could be classed under this category. An employee has a right to work in a safe, secure, environment, and should be treated fairly and respectfully, free from anything other than occasional unpleasantness.
As an employer, you should also ensure that employees do not engage in bullying or victimisation of others, and you must properly investigate any grievances that you bring against employees, supervisors, or managers. You should even beware of conduct between employees outside of work that could give rise to liability if it is ignored, such as cyber-bullying or internet-based abuse.
A wilful failure to investigate a grievance could give rise to a complaint for breach of contract and/or constructive dismissal, on the basis that you have breached your implied duty to look after your employee properly whilst at work.
Of course, any harassment could also amount to a discrimination (HYPERLINK to Discrimination) claim against the employer if an appropriate underlying ground (such as race, sex, age, disability, age, sexual orientation, belief) applies.
We can advise on what you can do to demonstrate that you have fulfilled your legal duty to do your utmost in terms of investigating any allegations.
'Whistleblowing' is the name given to the situation where an employee reports acts of wrongdoing within the employer's organisation, either to the employer or to a third party. The law regulating it is found in the Public Interest Disclosure Act, also known as PIDA.
Importantly, from an employer's perspective, employees may have an automatic unfair dismissal claim, even though you have not been employed for the minimum two-year period. If whistleblowing was the reason for the dismissal, the usual limits on compensation will also not apply, although this may change in the future.
There is more detailed information about how employers can pro-actively avoid whistleblowing claims in our special recent article (HYPERLINK to 'Article – whistleblowing') written for the health care sector, but of relevance to all employers.

I first used Aston Brooke solicitors over 3 years ago. Ever since then I have given them all my legal work, I find their staff to be very helpful and easy to talk to. I have brought over 7 residential properties and 2 commercial properties - each transaction has been dealt with professionally and I have always been kept informed.
Mr A Bajwa
I was put in touch with solicitors at Aston Brooke through a mutual friend to handle a personal Health Care case. I can not speak highly enough for the service I received. My family and I are forever grateful for the all the help on our case. Thank You.
Mr M Grice
Ray Purewal at Aston Brooke was my point of contact and I found him to be a great source of knowledge for my case. He handled everything swiftly and dealt with the opposition in the best way possible. Many Thanks Ray!

Re: The Diaz Brothers Belong in Pro Boxing
I don't see Nate having great boxing skills. Too sloppy and unorthodox. I see Nick having better hands to be honest. Both have awkward styles, but the reach and leverage they get from those long arms are definitely an asset in boxing.
Now my assessment may not be fair, as they would likely adapt a technique more suited to boxing - if they were to go that route. But the wide open guard and wild looping shots would definitely be a downfall. And anyone who's trained before knows, it's hard to break bad habits than learn new ones. Plus Nate is seriously lacking handspeed.
So i only partially agree.
I think Nate and Nick have some physical and mental assets that would make them great competitors in any sport, and they would likely have a successful career in pro boxing. But I don't see either of them fighting top names, or holding any belts. They would probably do well fighting unknown low to mid level fighters.
So all in all, I think they would do OK in pro boxing, but belong in MMA.
