Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheries, Volume 2
Paul J. B. Hart, John D. Reynolds
Wiley, Sep 27, 2002 - Technology & Engineering - 428 pages
Recent decades have witnessed strong declines in fish stocks around the globe, amid growing concerns about the impact of fisheries on marine and freshwater biodiversity. Fisheries biologists and managers are therefore increasingly asking about aspects of ecology, behaviour, evolution and biodiversity that were traditionally studied by people working in very separate fields. This has highlighted the need to work more closely together, in order to help ensure future success both in management and conservation.
The Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheries has been written by an international team of scientists and practitioners, to provide an overview of the biology of freshwater and marine fish species together with the science that supports fisheries management and conservation.
This volume, subtitled Fisheries, focuses on a wide range of topics, including the history of fisheries science, methods of capture, marketing, economics, major models used in stock assessments and forecasting, ecosystem impacts, marine protected areas and conservation. It builds on material in Volume 1, Fish Biology, which ranges from phylogenetics and biogeography to physiology, recruitment, life histories, genetics, foraging, reproductive behaviour and community ecology.
Together, these books present the state of the art in our understanding of fish biology and fisheries and will serve as valuable references for undergraduates and graduates looking for a comprehensive source on a wide variety of topics in fisheries science. They will also be useful to researchers who need up-to-date reviews of topics that impinge on their fields, and decision makers who need to appreciate the scientific background for management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems.

Monday, Feb. 4, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The autopsy results have been released for the suspect who was shot and killed by a Richmond County deputy on Friday.
GBI Special Agent Pat Morgan says the autopsy shows Chaz Williams died of multiple gunshot wounds. The GBI will not release the number of times Williams was hit at this time.
The autopsy also revealed Williams had two self-inflicted cuts on his neck.
Morgan says they have a few more people they need to interview before the investigation is wrapped up.
It all started around 2:20 a.m. on Friday as a vehicle pursuit. Deputies say Williams hit something, then got out of his car and ran away from the scene. He was later found at the Fox Den Apartments on Fox Trace Drive. The GBI says deputies tried to take Williams into custody at the apartment, but an altercation ensued between Williams and the deputies, which is when Williams was shot by Deputy Michael Woodard.
Williams was a father and a veteran of the U.S. Army.

Weatherford International Ltd Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (WFT)
TheStreet) -- Weatherford International (NYSE: WFT) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- WFT's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 7.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $705.00 million or 20.35% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite an increase in cash flow, WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL's average is still marginally south of the industry average growth rate of 28.40%.
- WFT's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.98 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 0.73 is weak.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Energy Equipment & Services industry and the overall market, WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 29.20%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -3.00% is significantly below that of the industry average.

"The educational success of our children depends on creating a society that is both literate and imaginative, both skilled and creative." Mary L. Cavaioli, M.S. NBCT K-12 Curriculum, Arts Integration Specialist, Palm Beach County School District.
For this Education Morning the third graders of Hammock Pointe Elementary explored portraiture from the Museum's Permanent Collection; focusing on works that provide a direct curriculum connection which support the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards. Students were encouraged to discuss artwork based on how it evokes or displays emotion. For example, "Samantha" by Alex Katz is an abstracted print with bright colors and limited detail. A few students cited the lack of detail but noted how the colors made them feel happy. An open dialogue prepared the students to create their own self portrait downstairs in the auditorium.
After the tour students drew their self-portrait while looking in a mirror. The outcome revealed how different the eyes of every student are; an exercise in drawing suddenly became a window to how each student views themself. A link between art and the world around them was forged with the students' self-reflection. The studio component offered an experience in communication, visualization, and sensitivity to the self and others.
I talked to the teachers of Hammock Pointe Elementary and was inspired by how essential creative expression is in their classrooms. Teacher Carri Gallager posits "It [art] creates a kinesthetic connection between subjects (like reading and science). Art is connectivity that aids the children in expressing their relationship to school subjects." Hammock Pointe is an inclusive school; children on the special needs spectrum are integrated with their peers in the classroom. For teachers like Gallager, art is a form of self-expression that allows each participant to communicate their own unique view of the world. "For many of them, that is their gift; to recreate visually what they study, what they read."
Education Mornings facilitates the integration of art into the curriculum and demonstrates the enhancement art gleans for educational success. Because of art, students are engaged with their own blossoming cognizance. Any way we spin it, art is important. It's crucial. It balances, develops, enriches, and strengthens every mind. The museum provides Education Mornings to fortify the confidence of each participant and gently guide learning minds to embrace the power of creativity. Because Art definitely Matters.

December 2010 Behind The Wheel EditorialWritten by on December 1, 2010 Who Says Politics And Hot Rods Don't Mix?!
It's obvious Big Brother's picking on us because we're such an easy target, representing but a tiny fraction of the nation's automotive population, but that doesn't mean we have to roll over.
It wasn't me. The last time I dished out a little bureaucratic bologna, I got an earful from a reader or two. At the time, I could understand what the naysayers were saying to some degree. And having spent my time in the trenches as a Regular Joe Rodder before joining the ranks of journalistic pencil-pushers, I'm no stranger to the unwritten "don't ask, don't tell" titling procedure-the very same thing that got a famous hot rod builder in Southern California into a little hot water-and various vehicle code noncompliance. Clearly, that was then ... this is now. If you don't like it, don't turn the page-keep reading!
If you're from the camp that still thinks politics and hot rods don't mix, then I'm sorry to say, you are part of the reason we're in this particular situation to begin with. The act of ignoring something, for whatever reasons, doesn't make it go away-it allows it to get bigger and stronger, and without your voiced opposition, gives the elected powers that be the ability to move forward with their anti-hobby legislation and ultimately do things that you could've helped prevent in the first place. It's obvious Big Brother's picking on us because we're such an easy target, representing but a tiny fraction of the nation's automotive population, but that doesn't mean we have to roll over.
My previous rants-though fueled by the same motivation to get readers more involved in various state and federal issues that could (or already do) have an impact on our hobby-all lacked the same thing: backup support. Not this time, no sir. SEMA, and its storm-troopin' SEMA Action Network (SAN), has not only rallied its troops, but the entire cavalry of Source Interlink Media's automotive publications-together, our newsstand solidarity is aimed right between the bureaucrat's eyes ... our show of force is intended to penetrate legislature's minds, letting them know what they're up against and that we're not backing down without putting up a fight.
But this is really just an elaborated warning shot-the rest has to come from you, the reader, the hobbyist, the hot rodder who doesn't want to lose his or her rights to own and operate those vehicles we all cherish. Our flying below the radar wasn't going to last forever, whether we're willing to admit it or not.

APS Report: U.S. Risks Losing Critical Clean Electricity if Nuclear Power Plants Keep Closing at Steady Pace
Socially responsible investors can encourage utilities to consider carbon emissions in business decisions
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Four nuclear power plants, sources of low-emissions electricity, have announced closings this year. If plants continue to shut down instead of extending operations the nation risks losing 60 percent of its clean electricity starting in 2030, according to a new report, Renewing Licenses for the Nation's Nuclear Power Plant by the American Physical Society.
Power plants across the country, including ones in California, Wisconsin, Florida and Vermont, are being shuttered as utility companies opt to build natural gas plants rather than extending operation of nuclear reactors. Operators of an additional 38 reactors in 23 states are facing decisions on whether to extend operating licenses. Currently, there are approximately 100 nuclear reactors in the United States.
"Nuclear power plants provide the nation with a source of clean energy at a time when renewables such as solar and wind are not yet ready to fill the potential gap in the nation's base power needs created by the loss of nuclear power. Utilities should consider extending the licenses of power plants, which unlike coal and natural gas plants, do not emit any major air pollutants as identified in the Clean Air Act," said Roy Schwitters, chair of the APS report.
Although natural gas is cheap, its future remains uncertain. Questions abound concerning the availability of the gas in the U.S. and infrastructure and environmental costs associated with fracked wells.
Four prominent climate and energy scientists recently released an open letter to world leaders, calling on them to support safer nuclear energy systems as a practical way to address global warming. "While it may be theoretically possible to stabilize the climate without nuclear power, in the real world, there is no credible path to climate stabilization that does not include a substantial role for nuclear power," states the letter from Ken Caldeira (senior scientist, Department of Global Ecology, Carnegie Institution); Kerry Emanuel (atmospheric scientist, MIT); James Hansen (climate scientist, Columbia University Earth Institute); and Tom Wigley (climate scientist, University of Adelaide and the National Center for Atmospheric Research).
Extending operating licenses for reactors in a safe and reliable way is a smart move, as they are a "near carbon-free source of energy," according to the APS report. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission allows power plants to operate up to 60 years, but extensions are available for an additional 20 years. The report finds that there are no technical show stoppers to running some plants for up to 80 years.
Furthermore, it urges utilities to consider the financial and environmental consequences of carbon emissions in their business decisions regarding nuclear and natural gas plants. Such considerations can also be factors for socially responsible investors who are concerned about increased carbon emissions in the U.S. Investors, with more than $3 trillion in assets and who use an environmental, social and governance criteria, have been effective at encouraging companies to consider environmental consequences in their business decisions.The APS report specifically recommends the following:

Hello. I have lived in Canyon, Texas for the last 12 years with my wife and family. We are at a latitude of 35 degrees north and 102 degrees west longitude. I have had an interest in solar energy since 1975. My first solar cooker was a design based on the Beth and Dan Halacy Parabolic Cooker. The book, which has detailed plans, is still popular today and may be purchased here: Order this book from Amazon.com (30% of purchase price donated to Solar Cookers International).
A few years later, I made a cooker with a bit more collector area, similar to, but not as nice as the Solar Griddle design. I bought some 1 foot square mirror tiles that a hardware store had in a clearance basket. I went to a junk yard and found a half used spool of wire. The wire was about twice as stiff as clothes hanger wire. I cut segments of the wire to make croquet hoops. I hammered some iron rods into the ground to make a stand for an electric griddle. I took the plastic handles off of the griddle and painted the bottom of the griddle with black spray paint. I pressed 40 hoops into the ground around the griddle and leaned a mirror against each hoop so that a noon day sun would reflect to the bottom of the griddle. I would angle the mirrors by raising a corner of the mirror off of the ground, as neccessary, so that the reflection from the mirrors would line up in a square as much as possible on the bottom of the griddle. With a bright shining sun at least 60 degrees above the horizon, a layer of cooking oil on the griddle would begin smoking in about 1 minute. I could cook a meal with one setting of the mirrors, but for extended cooking, the focal point would be steadily on the move and I would have to adjust all of the mirrors again.
I still use mirrors with the Solar Fryer. The reflection from the mirrors is not nearly as precise as a true parabola. The focal point is spread out more and makes the Solar Fryer easier to use. I can count on at least an hour of great solar cooking on a sunny summer day as the mirrors' reflection moves across the bottom of the grill. I had a piece of low iron glass cut to fit a motorcycle wheel. I use it to cover a pizza when cooking on the grill. Pictures of a pizza cooking on the solar cooker can be seen on the Solar Fryer article.

My family really liked this dish. Very tasty with a lot of flavors and textures going on. Used potato gnocchi with basil in it and spinach instead of chard. No leftovers for me for work. Oh well.... Will definitely make again
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
418 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
I made the recipe as followed, and found it horribly bland. It just did not taste much of anything, and I couldn't tell there were any spices at all in the dish. Not surprising as this recipe relies on all the spices from your canned tomatoes. Also, there is no salt in this recipe -- probably relying on the canned tomatoes and cheese but my tomatoes had no salt added.
So, the quick fix was to simply add spices! I added some salt and more pepper. I then generously sprinkled Dried Oregano, Basil, and Thyme and mixed it until the flavor got where I wanted it spice wise.
I topped the dish with fresh basil as well for an added burst of freshness.
In the end after adding the additional spices, it was a good and very filling meal. The gnocchi and beans fill you up fast! I did not miss the meat in this dish at all.
this is a meatless-Monday staple for us. Easy to swap out greens, beans or other veggies you have on hand. Meat-eating husband forgets it's vegetarian, and my babies ages 2 and 1 love it, too.
I use spinach since it's a bit easier to get past the kids, but all of us love this dish!
This is one of my standard go-to recipes when we're wanting something good, quick, and nutritious. My husband and I love it. I use organic baby spinach instead of the chard though.

Roseville tree lighting celebrationBy: Anne Stokes Press Tribune Correspondent
Despite the threat of rain, which caused the cancelation of the Sylvia Besana Holiday Parade earlier in the day, hundreds of people came out to Vernon Street for Roseville's annual Christmas tree lighting celebration. Just after dark at 6:30 pm, Mayor Pauline Roccucci, Vice Mayor Susan Rohan and Councilwoman Carol Garcia turned on the 10,000 lights with a little help from Santa, who arrived via fire truck, courtesy of the Roseville Fire Department.
"I'm just really happy that we're able to have our holiday lighting. We couldn't have our parade this year, but we can gather together to celebrate a happy Thanksgiving, a merry Christmas and a happy new year," said Roccucci.
"Every year it seems like we get more people coming. Despite the rain, it didn't stop people from coming today and that's a neat thing. I'm happy to see them happy, the kids and the families."

Bank of America is postponing an increase in monthly fees for checking accounts, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
The paper cited unnamed people familiar with the bank's plans saying that the new fees would be delayed until at least late next year.
T. J. Crawford, a spokesman for the Charlotte, N.C. bank, had no comment on the story Saturday.
Bank of America Corp. has been testing new fees in a pilot program in Georgia, Massachusetts and Arizona. The bank has been charging between $6 and $25 per month depending on the type of account and level of service.
Banks are moving to collect more in fees as low interest rates make it harder to make money from lending.

Malaysia Airlines said in a statement the western coast of the country, near the Straits of Malacca, was "now the focus" of the hunt. That is on the other side of peninsular Malaysia from where flight 370 was reported missing, meaning if the plane went down there it would have had to fly over the country, presumably undetected.
Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the statement didn't imply authorities believed the plane was off the western coast. "The search is on both sides," he said.
The Boeing 777 had 239 people on board when it vanished off radar screens early Saturday morning en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, triggering a massive international search effort.
Authorities began their hunt at the point the plane was last known to be, a spot in the seas between Malaysia and Vietnam. With no debris found, they have systematically expanded their search to include areas where the plane could have in theory ended up given the amount of fuel it had on board.
They have also said that the plane might have tried to turn back to Kuala Lumpur. On Sunday, Malaysia's air force chief said there were indications on military radar that the jet may have done a U-turn.
Vietnamese planes and ships are a major component of the international search and rescue effort.
Lt. Gen. Vo Van Tuan, deputy chief of staff of Vietnamese People's Army, said authorities on land had also been ordered to search for the plane, which could have crashed into mountains or uninhabited jungle. He said that military units near the border with Laos and Cambodia had been instructed to search their regions also.
"So far we have found no signs (of the plane) ...
Experts say possible causes of the apparent crash include an explosion, catastrophic engine failure, extreme turbulence, pilot error or even suicide.

Stacey Harnisch began her love affair with the arts early on. I've been interested in art from the time I was able to pick up a pencil, Stacey recalls. As a child, I loved looking at the detail in story book illustrations. I focused on that detail and learned to emphasize it in my own artwork. I also had a wonderful elementary school teacher who encouraged my talent, laying the foundation for my love of art. Stacey has a Bachelor's Degree in Art from Nebraska Wesleyan University. Today she uses her artistic abilities to create unique custom artwork in the form of whimsical wall murals and original paintings through her company, Little Boy Blue and Ella Too. I love creating magical spaces for children, she says. Places where children can dream and let their imaginations soar! I feel truly honored that my paintings have become such a special part of so many children's rooms! Stacey currently resides in Fort Collins, Colorado, with her husband and two children. Her classic designs are offered exclusively on Dish and Spoon Productions' award-winning wall art!

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Jamal Crawford tallied 24, and the Los
Angeles Clippers got double-doubles from Blake Griffin and Chris Paul in a
105-89 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Griffin ended with 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Paul contributed 11 points
and 15 assists, as the Clippers notched their fourth straight win and eighth
in their last nine tries.
Caron Butler donated 13 points for the Clippers, who gained their first
victory in Cleveland since March 10, 2002, the year before LeBron James was
drafted by the Cavaliers. This was just their fifth win in the last 21
meetings overall against the Cavs.
The Cavaliers were simply overmatched, especially considering Kyrie Irving
(hyperextended right knee) was out for a third straight game. Tristan Thompson
had 15 points and 12 rebounds, while Dion Waiters scored 17, one more than
C.J. Miles.

Each Home Owner Will Receive $25 for their Solar-Powered Indirect Carbon Dioxide Emission Reductions for 2006
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 2, 2006 — Carbonfund.org, a leading nonprofit organization making it easy and affordable for any person or business to reduce their climate impact, and Environmental Resources Trust, a leading certifier of renewable energy, announced today a partnership to support the Chicago Zero Energy Solar Homes Project with Carbonfund.org purchasing the renewable energy certificates (RECs) generated by the solar installation. The project is a seven home affordable housing development in Chicago's North Lawndale community that utilizes advanced technologies to reduce the energy demand of the house and adds a 2.5 kW photovoltaic solar roof to generate most of the remaining electricity for the home. Carbonfund.org will retire the RECs purchased from the project to offset the carbon footprints of the non-profit's contributors.
Begun in 2003, the Chicago Zero Energy Solar Homes Project was envisioned to help reduce the costs of living in homes for low-income families by employing energy efficient and solar energy technologies. The program seeks to take advantage of demand for renewable energy certificates and clean air goals in the city of Chicago to induce investment in solar production on individual homes. A development agreement signed in 2004 between ERT and Bethel New Life (a faith-based community services not for profit organization) authorized the start of the program. Construction began on the first seven of 15 homes to be built under a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation in April 2005. The homes were completed by December 2005 and families moved in by February 2006.
Part of the solar costs were covered with a program related investment made from ERT's Reinvestment Fund. The Reinvestment Fund was created out of proceeds from the purchase of RECs from ComEd by the City of Chicago. The fund was designed to make investments in renewable energy. Under the agreement with Bethel New Life the Reinvestment Funds would be made available in exchange for the rights to sell the RECs to recoup the initial investment. In exchange, homeowners receive 20% of the proceeds.
Each Zero Energy Solar Home deploys an energy efficient package of ENERGY STAR appliances, lighting and insulation, and a 2.5 kilowatt solar shingle roofing system. The combination of energy-efficiency and solar power production means that the home's energy impact is brought down by at least 75%. Average monthly energy savings are estimated to be over $77. Additionally, homeowners will receive a check for $25 for the sale of the solar RECs for one year, increasing average cost savings to $950 per year.
"The Chicago Zero Energy Solar Homes Program represents a significant opportunity for home builders and home buyers to cost-effectively reduce their global warming impact," stated Carbonfund.org President Eric M. Carlson. "Carbonfund.org also supports the community development and other social benefits the project offers. We are thrilled that each home owner will receive a $25 check for reducing the threat of global warming."
According to Alden Hathaway, Director, EcoPower Programs at the non-profit, Environmental Resources Trust, "The Chicago Zero Energy Solar Homes Program provides low income homeowners with the security of very low electric bills plus added revenue from solar REC sales. This further helps support the efforts to keep low income families in affordable homes."
Carbonfund.org and ERT share a goal of helping to reduce the cost of clean, renewable and domestically produced energy, such as solar power. "With Greenland melting twice as fast as just a decade ago, more frequent and severe hurricanes and temperatures increasing globally, reducing the threat of global warming is a critical challenge of our time," added Carlson. "Finding innovative and cost-effective solutions to global warming, such as the Chicago Zero Energy Solar Homes Program, is a huge step in that direction."

I think it's a great idea.
I don't if someone has posted an idea like this before but how we have a comp base around maps depicting a land currently at war. It should show things like the movements of various armies and generals, sites of historical or noteworthy battles and field camps/bases. It can set during any age like fantasy, blackpowder, modern, futuristic hell I would love see if anyone who can be depict a battlemap like this that takes place in space across multiple planets. It could be at any reasonable scale, nothing too huge.
Just an idea, what do people think?
People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

RIP Angel "Ingy" Yates - The first inspiration that guided me towards art. You will be missed...
Great idea, indeed!

P35 reminders
This morning I received 7 reminders for various clients to file P35's before the 19 May deadline. I suppose I should be grateful that I get these reminders but they were dated 29 April and in all but one case I had already filed the reports. The exception is a client that HMRC was informed 2 years ago had stopped trading and wouldn't be operating a payroll.
Calls from clients and discussions with colleagues make it evident that this was a mass mailing and that because it was mailed (!) nearly 2 weeks ago the majority of recipients will have already filed.
I am appalled at the sheer waste of paper and postage and believe that with the present economic conditions, this waste is unacceptable and the result of incompetence.
I wrote a few weeks ago about the need for HMRC to make more use of email and this proves the point as these notices are not, and do not need to be secure.
How much could have been saved?
P35 reminders
Same here and doubtless many offices up and down the country. Totally agree with your post.
And me!
I have also received reminders in respect of P35's already filed.
I intend ignoring such items and will happily present the evidence of filing on time to a court of law if needs be.
No wonder HMRC ran out of paper and why should they care about the postage? It's not their money they are spending, it is ours.
Years ago there was a discussion as to by how much the rate of income tax could be reduced if the black economy was eliminated. Perhaps the discussion should be widened to incorporate the money wasted by HMRC?
Do we really
expect anything else from D & N Clown & co.
Every day in every way it's getting worser and worser.
Who comes up with these ideas?
It's good that they are sending reminders. It gives people a chance to deal with any issues.
As you say it's spoilt by the fact they are so out of date. This is to do with the ridiculous post methods the HMRC uses. As you also say, given they could easily send by email it is made even worse. Why do they send some documents to agents to their web page (eg P9s) and others by paper? It seems they save money on cutting what is needed only to waste it on what is not needed.
its more of a waste of time than paper
we should look forward to having our inboxes rammed full of junk mail from HMRC - comomg to an email account near you very soon
Only seven?
I have received around 120 reminders this morning. However, you would have thought they could aggregate the letters into one bundle per "agent" like they used to do the Agent Copy SA Statements.
HMRC is of course covering itself in case of appeals against £400 fines later in the year.
10 reminders this morning dated April 29th
in 6 different envelopes.
lunatics running the asylum
23/03/2012 - send in nil P35 for client via HMRC online structured email
29/04/12 (A Sunday) - receive an email from HMRC thanking me for email over a month ago - and telling me that a P35 is not required as the scheme is closed.
10/05/12 - receive a letter from HMRC dated 29/04/12 (a Sunday) telling me I need to file a P35 by 19/05/12 ?????
And yet they press ahead with RTI ???
Arrgh! This was to deal with the P35 penalties
These are very welcome indeed and are well worded. The principle is that some employers who are not IT literate have appealed against penalties stating that they did not know that they had to complete one (as they don't access their electronic mailbox). These appeals were in general upheld so HMRC needed to do something to alert these employers. It is cheaper to mail everyone (provided the tone of the letter is correct) than to pick through and sort out the ones who need one, and in any event, it is not possible for HMRC to kow what is filed and what isn't until much later in the year (hence £400 initial penalties) because of the systems for processing P35's. Representatives of accountants in practice agreed that this was a good way to go to prevent unsuspecting employers from getting big penalties.
There will be a further letter in early June warning those who "appear" not to have filed by then that they have a £100 penalty and need to get moving to avoid further penalties - again to stop the first word being £400. HMRC has worked hard with the profession to deal with something which has been difficult for employers. Please try to see it in that light guys!
Rebecca's post
Can't HMRC ask employers how they want communications? If they don't access their electronic mailbox they can say "paper" whereas accountants can say "electronically" if they do use their mailbox. Please let's not have a system where we have to search for these communications like we do with P9s. That is ridiculous.
With computers it should take no time at all to identify who wants paper copies.
If HMRC don't know what is filed and what isn't filed until much later then I have two points:
1 HMRC should change their systems, and
2 Why should HMRC penalise employers for something they are incapable of doing themselves? Even taking into account we are talking about one employer as opposed to many for HMRC. HMRC should be able to design their systems better than every employer.
It is good that HMRC sends out reminders and penalties more promptly but it just causes more confusion when it takes a long time for them to reach their destination. Can you imagine what my clients would think if I chased them for data or payment long after I had received it?
Penalty regimes
Rebecca, with all due respect you have highlighted the heart of the problem, HMRC should not try and enforce penalties in cases where there systems are demonstrably inadequate. I believe that sending out these reminders was a poorly thought out attempt to cover up for systems and procedures that were not fit for purposes. Surely it would have been better to spend the money on fixing the systems.
I have for the last year battled with HMRC on penalties assessed for failure to submit nil CIS returns. I have won every appeal because the penalty system was unenforceable, is this another example?
Reminders were a month too late
Accept Rebecca's point but these reminders should have been sent out a good 5 weeks earlier. We all know that the clients who are always late with everything always will be and will ignore letters from HMRC. The "good" clients for whom we have already filed P35s in good time first reaction on getting such a reminder will be to phone their accountant concerned that "they thought we had already submitted the P35, was there something wrong with it?" Yet more unchargeable time we have to spend calming the client down all because of HMRCs late delivery. If these letters had actually been received by clients just before 5 April, this would all have been avoided.
Several reminders
There should be several timely reminders based on the current status and arriving quickly. One or two reminders are not sufficient. The problem is that most employers will do a P35 before the deadline but the problem is caused when there is some confusion about whether a P35 is needed. If HMRC are going to send sufficient reminders it would be more cost effective to send as many as possible by email.
Several reminders
I have had a reminder for every one of my payrolls, 102 in total. I filed most of the P35s in late Feb and the rest in March or early April. All were done by 10 April, yet still the stupid reminders.
I have date stamped all in and sent them back to the idiots in Liverpool witha comp slip saying all were filed months ago and to get their act together. I agree thoroughly, a total waste of time and resource. However, that s not new for the Revenue, is it?
Oh, I might have forgotten to add any postage to their envelope though, so they'll have to pick up the tab for that one!
P35 reminders
P35 reminders SHOULD IMO be posted, but they should only be sent to those who have failed to file at that point and not two weeks previously, as all reminders are for P35s which were filed within the 2 weeks between 29 April and when the remiders were actually posted out!
I believe that this is particular probelm for those of us who file through third party software, or those nil returns. Those filed by HMRC online software do not appear to have been unnecessarily chased. I am happy to be corrected on that last point though!
P35 reminders
Give it a year or so and they won't be happening at all. WIth RTI no P35s are ever going to be needed again (unless they are late ones for pervious years). Happy days - eh!
HMRC are imaginitive
HMRC will find plenty that they can do wrong with RTI!
not so hot under the collar
We have received most of these reminders in the office and duly filed them. A pain, but not a big problem.
One client did receive one and it has reminded him to sort out the P35 - I don't mind that.
Yes, I agree HMRC systems could be perfect and we would not have so much wasted paper. My systems could be perfect too, but sadly I have not reached that state yet.
But, I do agree that RTI scares me - so many ways it can go so very wrong - in real time!

Here is a brief history of the Cavendish Hotel for anyone who may be interested. Most of the research for this section of the website was done by Stanley W Lack, who was a Director of the hotel from 1972 until 1988.
1863: Building commenced on 'The Towers' and 'Lupton'. 'The Towers' was the section on the seaward side of the building comprising the unusual feature of a square tower at the entrance and a round tower on the corner of the building. The square tower is in itself unusual as it has a 3-2-1 arrangement of windows with three on the top (attic) floor and only one on the first floor. The building is grade II listed because of this.
1866: The building was completed and occupied as private residences. These were substantial and extensive properties for occupation by 'gentlemen' of that time, but (presumably because of the long and narrow shape of the plot), no stables were provided on the site. However, there are documents in existence showing that a few years later stables in nearby Croft Road were rented by the residents.
1889: Both houses were under the ownership of Dr Richardson, who lived at 'The Towers' for many years. He was Mayor of Torquay at the time that Princess Pier was opened by the then Princess Royal.
1918: By a Deed of Gift Dr Richardson gave 'The Towers' to his married daughter, Mrs Ruth S Evans, but her husband was an army officer with a London address and the property was sold after a short time. Dr Richardson moved (perhaps retired) to Wrangaton, Near Ivybridge.
1924: First record of use as a hotel, then known as 'Hotel Metropole'.
1930s: The first extension was built giving 27 additional bedrooms and a large lower-ground floor restaurant (now the ballroom). In 1975 an elderly long-serving postman reported that as a young man he had regularly visited the hotel to attend the roller skating sessions which were held each winter prior to 1939. These were obviously held in what is now the ballroom, which still has an extensive dance floor.
The extension was at the Scarborough Road end of the building and the ground floor had an additional glass-fronted room with a hatch that opened directly onto the pavement on the Belgrave Road/Scarborough road corner. From here ice creams and refreshments were sold during the summer months and it was here that the late Les Shambrook met his future wife, who worked at the ice cream parlour. Mr Shambrook lived at that time at the Chillingworth Hotel (now the Rainbow) and he subsequently ran a butcher's shop in Lucius Street.
1939-46: Like most large hotels in the area, the building was taken over by the RAF as part of the Aircrew Training Centre. Towards the end of the period it was used by the Royal Canadian Air Force as a convalescent depot.
1947: Until this time there had been a 'Hotel Cavendish' next to the Rosetor Hotel on Chestnut Avenue. When the Cavendish owners sold out to their neighbours, who incorporated the Cavendish into the Rosetor, they were permitted to take the Cavendish name with them. They then purchased the Metropole and changed its name to the Cavendish Hotel, and it has kept that name to this day.
The Rosetor Hotel, which featured in an Alec Guinness film called 'The Last Holiday' in 1950, was demolished in 1979. The Riviera International Centre now stands on its site.
1964: A heated outdoor swimming pool measuring 40 feet by 20 (12m x 6m) was built in the garden. This was one of the first heated swimming pools in Torquay. It remains in more or less its original form to this day.
Late 1960s/early 1970s: At this time the hotel was approved by the AA and RAC as a 3-star hotel, but this was reduced due to the shortage on en-suite bathrooms. In 1972, when the Skinner and Lack families bought the hotel from Mr and Mrs Owen, there were 50 bedrooms of which only four were en suite and six had showers but no toilets.
1974: The building at the rear of the Cavendish, Greystoke Hotel (on Scarborough Road), which had been used as furnished flatlets for retired people, was purchased. The following year the two buildings were linked together by a small extension and extensive building work was undertaken to provide 10 excellent en-suite bedrooms and private living accommodation. One of the most valuable advantages gained was the extensive Greystoke car park, which was badly needed as until then the Cavendish car park was only big enough for six cars. The existing kitchens and restaurant at the Cavendish were fortunately big enough to cater for the extra 20 or so people accommodated in the extension.
1976: Following completion of the extension a Fire Certificate was granted to cover the whole building, but this was only obtained after considerable expense for a complete electrical re-wiring, new fire escapes and many new fire doors.
1986: A lift to all four floors was installed. From the early 1970s onwards coach parties began to replace individual 'private' guests as the core business of Torquay's hotels, and the lift was installed to meet the new demographic's needs.
1987: The hotel now had 58 bedrooms, 36 of which were en-suite and with colour TVs.
1992: The Ryder and Blagden families bought the hotel and, through the 1990s, continued to improve the hotel and strengthen the business. One major addition was the indoor swimming pool and sauna, which added year-round leisure facilities to the hotel. We also acquired the building adjacent to the Cavendish, which was the Bute House Hotel for many years before becoming an Indian restaurant ('The Pearl of India'). These were great days to be in the tourism business in Torbay and we also ran the Crofton House Hotel in Croft Road at the same time.
1999/2000: The Rothesay Hotel, which was adjacent to the Cavendish on Scarborough Road, became available. We sold the Crofton House and bought the Rothesay, building a new reception area to link the two buildings and renovating extensively. We had at last outgrown the old restaurant and we opened a new dining area at garden level.
Since then we have continued to work hard and improve the hotel in an often difficult economic climate, and the Ryders and Blagdens still run the hotel as a family. We are constantly refurbishing and over the last few years have completely redecorated the ballroom, the bar and even built a fabulous decking area which overlooks our gardens. The Cavendish has a long and rich history and we are very proud to be a part of it.

We've seen the interview dozens of times. The person-in-charge stands, gazes into the void, and with a shake of the head says, "I never thought this would happen."
It could happen.
Regardless of the venue or situation, we must face the facts as they present themselves, and one clear, undeniable fact is that circumstances beyond your control could derail your operation. It's not about being a doomsayer or copping a negative attitude or even painting a worst-case scenario. It's about recognizing risks and taking steps to protect your organization and the people who rely upon it.
ONEplace welcomes back Audrey Randall (Paradigm Risk Management) to lead us in two sessions aimed at avoiding being caught by what could happen. First, Business Continuity Planning (April 24) examines how to keep your operation running when risks become reality.
Next, Your Emergency Action Plan (May 8) looks at how we can prepare now to respond quickly when time if of the essence. Developing plans of action and getting your staff and volunteers prepared may save your organization thousands of dollars. It could even save lives.
Business continuity and emergency action planning are easy things to put off. They are also our biggest regrets when we are caught without them. Don't put it off any longer. Register today.

McBride leads Notre Dame to 74-48 win over Hokies
The Fighting Irish defeated the Hokies at home Thursday.
NOTRE DAME — Kayla McBride scored 18 points and Notre Dame held Virginia Tech to 27 percent shooting in a 74-48 victory Thursday, the Fighting Irish's 22nd straight home win.
The Irish (20-0, 7-0) are off to their second best start, three victories shy of matching the 2000-01 start en route to a national championship. It was the most lopsided loss of the season for the Hokies (10-10, 0-7), who have lost eight straight.
Virginia Tech was only four points down until Notre Dame ended the first half on a 15-1 run to take a 37-19 halftime lead, the fewest points allowed by the Irish in the first half this season. The Irish opened the second half with an 8-2 spurt to put the game away.
Vanessa Panousis led the Hokies with 12 points. Uju Ugoka, who averages 20.2 points, was held to 10 points.
