Last week I released the 18.104.22.168 kernel
and said it would be the last one of this series that I was releasing.
Given that this was one of the most successful kernel series out there,
by number of users, I figured it was worth a brief history of how this
came to be, and what I have learned from it.
{lfnews}One of our most special events of the year is just a month away, the Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit. This Summit is unique because it's the first event we ever hosted (2007 on the Google campus) and aims to bring together Linux Foundation members with other distinguished community members to work on very specific opportunities for Linux. This year, the event will be at the Hotel Nikko from April 3-5.
Nicholas Negroponte is always ahead of his time. When he envisioned One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), the average price for a PC was still hundreds of dollars. The industry rallied around his vision for a low-cost PC that anyone could use but couldn't fathom innovative technology at the $100 price point he claimed he could hit.
When Linus Torvalds says he is going to work on a side project he doesn't think small and he doesn't work slowly.
When he created "Git," the software source control and collaboration system that runs Linux kernel development, he started writing code on a Sunday (April 3, 2005) and emerged just a few days later with a new revision control system that today is regarded as one of the best pieces of software ever written (second, at least, to Linux, of course).
With my recent job change, I'm starting to run into a bunch of
people asking "What exactly are you going to be doing now?"
I've tried responding by describing the kernel related stuff I've been
doing for the past years, and it turns out that a lot of people didn't
even realize I was doing that.
No one disputes that that tech jobs are fueling the economy in the U.S. and around the world. The U.S. President said in his recent State of the Union address that there are twice as many openings in the science and technology sector as there are people to fill them. But where exactly are these jobs? And, who exactly is landing them?
The Linux Foundation, in partnership with Dice.com, today released the results of the first-ever Linux Jobs Report. Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin breaks down the significance of those findings in his blog.
We're preparing for our weeklong extravaganza of mobile and embedded development next week. Android Builders Summit kicks off Monday and ELC follows on Wednesday, taking place February 15-17, 2012. For the really hard-core, we've even lined up some hands-on mobile and embedded Linux training courses over the weekend.
Facebook filed its IPO last week , which is big news in and of itself.
Building an embedded Linux distribution can be a daunting task. From the Board Support Package (BSP) to Kernel configuration, root file system setup and the selection many additional software package there are many choices to make and taking the wrong turn can easily lead to a dead end and many hours of wasted time.

A newly published research study challenges old ideas about the cause of dyslexia. Published in The Journal of Neuroscience online on Jan. 14, the study helps clarify what might be causing a difference in the amount of gray matter seen in the brain. The study used two control groups. One control group was made up of same aged peers and the other control group were younger children that read at the same reading level as the dyslexic test group.
This study showed that when compared to same aged peers, dyslexic readers have less gray matter across both hemispheres. This result is similar to results of previous research. However, when findings were compared to the second control group, the comparison did not hold up as strongly. Only in areas of the right hemisphere did there seem to be less gray matter in the dyslexic group. According to a news release by Georgetown University Medical Center, study leader Guinevere Eden, a professor of pediatrics said, "If the differences in brain anatomy in dyslexia were seen in comparison with both control groups, it would have suggested that reduced gray matter reflects an underlying cause of the reading deficit. But that's not what we observed."
This might also challenge the previous idea that less gray matter in the left hemisphere, specifically near language learning areas, were possibly a contributing cause to the development of dyslexia. The notion that as a child develops, something happens early on to effect the gray matter in the left hemisphere and therefore cause a form of dyslexia may soon be an idea of the past. Instead, what may be happening in these cases is that a child has some kind of learning experience, which causes an experienced-induced change in his brain. This may be the real cause of differences in gray matter seen in dyslexic minds. Overall, this research is good news and may be part of further research to uncover more efficient interventions for individuals struggling with dyslexia.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Boise State officials say two players have been suspended from the school for violating university rules.
Officials did not specify the rules violated or if either player would be allowed to return to school.
Hightower had 31 tackles and one interception before he was suspended by coach Chris Petersen for violating team rules in the run-up to the Oct. 27 game at Wyoming. Plinke, who had two catches, was suspended the same week for the same reason.
Petersen has declined to answer repeated questions requesting specifics about what the players did.

Gordon Sharrock looks back on a previous clash with Saturday's opponents Wigan Athletic WANDERERS were talking Champions League again after victory in a demolition derby at the JJB lifted them back up to fifth in the Premiership, just two points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
Sam Allardyce insisted the UEFA Cup was still the most realistic target, but successive wins — they'd beaten Sheffield United the previous week — had put the Whites in a great position to mount a big push in their last six games.
A new hero emerged that Easter Saturday in the shape of Andranik Teimourian, the first Iranian to play Premiership football and whose two goals in five minutes secured a win that left Paul Jewell's Latics in serious relegation trouble.
Signed from Aboo Moslem the previous summer, Andranik found first-11 chances hard to come by but, drafted in because Ivan Campo and Kevin Nolan were banned, he grabbed his chance.
Super-fit and super-charged, Andranik brought an energy to midfield and his instinctive finishing in the 68th and 73rd minutes put Wigan to the sword.
Emile Heskey put Wigan ahead on the half-hour but Wanderers, with El-Hadji Diouf the tormentor in chief, were level two minutes before half time when Nicolas Anelka knocked in his 11th of the season at the second attempt.
Allardyce played down Champions League talk after the victory, suggesting Wanderers were not ready for Europe's premier competition.
"It would destroy the club," he argued. "We are not big enough for that. It would be too much for us."
In the end, they had to settle for the UEFA Cup — but by then Allardyce had left the club.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- The brother of a 73-year-old man who was killed along with 9-year-old twins says his brother was in a relationship with the twins' mother.
Kenny Girdner says the twins, Jordan and Taylor Dejerinett, loved his brother, Jack Mac Girdner. He told WSFA-TV (http://bit.ly/LrEPgF) that the relationship between his brother and the twins' mother, Terrye Moore, lasted three years. Moore has described Jack Mac Girdner as a friend who liked to take the twins on outings. He was babysitting the twins at his home south of Montgomery when all three disappeared June 3 along with his Mercedes Benz. They were found shot to death in Lowndes County.
The last known address for the man charged in the slayings, Deandra Marquis Lee, was across the street from Moore's home in Montgomery.

FSW – Phoenix
CH502: MEDIEVAL AND REFORMATION CHURCH HISTORY. Grayson Carter
DESCRIPTION: This course examines the development of Church History from the Council of Chalcedon (451) through the Protestant and Catholic Reformations of the C16th. Particular attention will be given to the lives and principal writings of the most significant Christian leaders and theologians. The course will also consider in detail the historical context in which these events occurred.
SIGNIFICANCE FOR LIFE AND MINISTRY: The effective practice of Christian ministry requires an understanding of the significant historical and theological developments that occurred during the important period between the C5th and C16th. During this time, European church and culture became so intertwined as be considered almost indistinguishable, only to break apart into schism and prolonged conflict during the C16th. Why did this occur? What lessons can we learn from this? While our classroom investigations and discussions will be primarily historical and theological in nature, every effort will be made to set aside time in class for the integration of practical (i.e., contemporary) application of the academic material under consideration.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: This course should (i) enhance the student's basic factual and thematic knowledge of the Christian story during the Medieval and Reformation periods; (ii) it should help students gain a basic competence in how to interpret the story of the Christian church; (iii) it should help students gain a greater ability to evaluate various theological issues and their development; and, (iv) it should provide students with the tools and knowledge for a critical and sympathetic appreciation for the breadth, unity and diversity of the Christian church.
COURSE FORMAT: The course will on Monday evenings from 6.30 p.m. until 10.00 p.m. over 10 weeks, for a total of 35 hours. Class time will be devoted to formal lectures, questions and answers, and informal classroom discussion.

Court Junkies Churn Out Stats on the Supremes
It's becoming a yearly ritual: the Supreme Court closes it annual term in late-June, and Washington appellate lawyer Tom Goldstein and his team at SCOTUSblog crunch the numbers on every high-court stat under the sun.
This year's effort, weighing in at 53 pages, takes court-watching to a new level.
For court obsessives, the report highlights trends and trivial matters alike.
This year we learn that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asked the first question at oral argument 27% of the time, slightly edging out Justice Antonin Scalia for the lead.
Scalia, like most of his colleagues, seems to ask more questions in tough cases than easy ones. He asked an average of 30 questions per argument in cases ultimately decided on a 5-4 vote, but only 24 per argument in cases decided unanimously. (Justice Clarence Thomas was amazingly consistent, asking no questions in either the 5-4 or 9-0 cases.)
When it comes to writing speed, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court's fastest author this term, destroyed Justice Anthony Kennedy, the slowest. Her opinions were released on average 43 days sooner than his. Then again, he had more 5-4 opinions to write.
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito were the most like-minded pair on the court, agreeing 96.2% of the time, according to SCOTUSblog. Alito and Ginsburg took the oil-and-water award by agreeing the least, just 62.5% of the time.
Washington lawyers, take heart: the Supreme Court loves you. Of the 196 oral argument slots available before the court this term, 106 of those presentations were made by D.C.-based advocates, SCOTUSblog says. (The Justice Department accounts for a little more than half of those.)
On weightier matters, the report notes that the court's five-justice conservative majority banded together in 63% of the 5-4 decisions this term, a new record of conservative solidarity for the Roberts Court. Nearly 88% of the court's 5-4 decisions fell along ideological lines, with the moderate-conservative Kennedy floating between the conservative and liberal camps.

Speakers have included four U.S. presidents and numerous other national and international figures. Moody Coliseum is undergoing expansion and extensive renovation, providing many new and improved features that include new premium seating, renovation of the entry lobby and concourses and state-of-the-art upgrades. This project will revitalize Moody Coliseum as a preeminent collegiate sports arena and multi-purpose event facility, preserving its historical character while adding the most modern technological enhancements. Construction began in August 2012 with the expansion of the building's north façade followed by renovation of the interior space and infrastructure upgrades. The renovated Moody Coliseum is scheduled to reopen in December 2013.

The award will be presented at halftime on behalf of the SMU Lettermen's Association by SMU President Gerald Turner and Director of Athletics Rick Hart.
Davis was an outstanding player on the SMU tennis team (1954-56) and was named team captain. He earned his BBA from SMU in 1956 and his JD in 1958. Davis then began a long and very distinguished legal career with Strasburger & Price, LLP, where he practiced for over 40 years before becoming counsel to the firm in 2000.
Away from the office, Davis always looks for ways to serve and make a lasting impact on his community. He currently serves as Mayor of University Park. Prior to his election as Mayor, he served three terms on the City Council. Davis has served the city on numerous committees including the University Park Master Plan, Maintenance of Housing Quality, Land Use, Future Planning and Capital Improvements and the Planning & Zoning Commission.
He has also served with The Salesmanship Club, United Way, March of Dimes, American Heart Association, YMCA, Buckner Children's Home, Central Dallas Ministries, Leukemia Foundation, Meals on Wheels, Brother Bill's Helping Hand, Stepp Foundation, East Dallas Christian School and the North Texas Food Bank, just to name a few.
Davis has been a member of the Park Cities Baptist Church since 1945, where he has served as a Sunday School teacher, a department director, chairman of numerous fund drives and a deacon.
Davis also received the Distinguished Alumni Award for Private Practice from the SMU Dedman School of Law in 2012.
The annual award, which was initiated in 1991, is the most prestigious award given by the Lettermen's Association. To be selected as the SAM Award winner, an individual must have graduated from SMU at least 25 years ago and have made significant, positive and lasting impact on his/her community.

There aren't a lot of things that make us want to get married again. The fact that Gerard Butler is still single is one. This Necklace for Shoulders in Beaded Pearl and Rhinestone ($1,500) is another. Just like Gerard Butler's baby blues, this gorgeous drape of sparkling pearl and elegant crystal transfixes us, filling our minds with dreams set to Pachelbel's Canon in D.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Post to the Host
Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
June 18, 2007 |
Dear Garrison,
Greetings from sunny Oslo. Your show became a highlight of the week for me the last two years while living on the Big Island of Hawaii with my wife. The morning of November 11. 2006 I spent running through the streets of Honolulu on my way to the Blaisdell center trying to get a last minute ticket to one of your shows there. But the line was too long. In the meantime I have convinced my beautiful wife to come back to Norway with me. I'm wondering if there will be a show for the general public when you are here in Oslo in July?
Tusen takk for et fantastisk show, still listening over the internet...
take care,
Oslo, Norway
The story of how a Norwegian lands on the island of Hawaii and then emigrates back to Oslo is the really fascinating part of your letter, Lars, and in classic Norsk fashion you have obscured yourself and focused on the trivial, the scheduling of a show. I don't think there will be a public performance of PHC in Oslo since I'll be there with my family and should entertain them, though of course accidents can happen, but the REAL question is: how are you? and what happened? My guess is that you had to flee Norway due to some terrible scandal perhaps you failed to put your old newspapers into recycling and you went to Hawaii and were redeemed by the love of a beautiful native woman, married her, and now you've returned to the North to teach your countrymen the art of living. A noble intention, and when you're defeated there, then you should come to Minnesota and try to teach us. Meanwhile, I hope it'll be sunny in Oslo when we arrive in mid-July. I was there once before, on
my birthday about seven years ago, and sat with my wife at an outdoor cafe near the harbor and life seemed utterly delicious.

In her novel, Final Payments, Mary Gordon articulates an equation that has long influenced Christian spirituality, both for good and for bad.
Her heroine, Isabel, is a young woman within whom a strong Catholic background, an overly-strict father, and a natural depth of soul conspire together to leave her overly-reticent and overly-reflective, looking at life from the outside, too self-aware and too reflective in general to enter spontaneously into a dance or trust any kind of gaiety
One night she goes to a party of college students but almost immediately feels out of place inside the giddiness, youthful bravado, drinking, and dancing. So she falls back into an old habit: "I would look among the faces of the students for a face that I could love.
"I would look for something original, something attesting in the shape of the chin or the eyes, something that suggested the belief that there was residual pain that could not be touched by legislation.
"But they all looked so relentlessly happy and healthy that they did not interest me. I realized that I was looking for someone who was sad, and I was angry at myself for making the equation, my father's equation, the Church's equation, between suffering and value."
That equation between suffering and value has a long-standing history within spirituality and has strongly influenced us both positively and negatively. It has also, I must confess, generally been my own equation.
Like Mary Gordon's Isabel, I too tend to look around the room at a party for a sad face, with the belief that sadness is a sign of depth, of substance, of weightiness. Occasionally I have been right and a face carrying sadness did indeed issue forth from a deep interiority, but I have also often been wrong.
Sometimes that sadness is merely an indication of depression, timidity, and unacknowledged anger. As well, I have also met people who were strongly extroverted in manifesting their happiness and joy and who, underneath, had real depth of soul and were anything but superficial.
FULL STORY A haunting equation (Ron Rolheiser)

Olney Arusta Wright, of Cocoa Beach, born August 18, 1922 passed away March 29, 2012. Nearly 2500 years ago Solomon wrote, "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value." If ever a woman lived up to these words, it was the one known to her friends as "Rusty."
She grew up in Enterprise, AL, where she was a standout tennis player, with a love for sports and all things outdoors, which was a passion she carried throughout her life (we even spoke of skydiving on her 90th birthday).
In 1946, she met and married the "love of her life" William Wright and after his retirement from the Navy, and job offer from NASA, they moved to Cocoa Beach, FL in 1956. There they raised their two sons, Billy and Eric.
They then enjoyed a retirement that spanned over 30 years, traveling the world, adding 100's of birds to their life-list, reading, playing golf and serving their Lord and His people.
She will be missed by her sons, Bill Wright, Eric and Susan Wright; grandchildren, Logan, Oceana, John William, Quentin and Eric; great grandchild, Bauer.
A graveside memorial service will take place April 5, 2012 at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Oceanside Church of Christ.
Published in FLORIDA TODAY on April 3, 2012
Olney Arusta Wright affectionately known to all as 'Rusty' passed away on 29 March 2012. Her Obit is posted in Florida Today on 3 Apr 2012. Her Obit is simple but there is much more about her death than is included in the Obit.
Olney Arusta Whatley Wright, widow of Medal of Honor winner, William Woodham Wright, Sr., was unloading her grocery cart in the parking lot of the Patrick AFB Commissary on 29 March 2012. A car struck her grocery cart knocking Rusty to the pavement. She was rushed to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne Florida and died while being prepped for surgery.
There was no funeral service for her due to another tragedy in the family. Quentin Wright, a grandson in Tennessee went to the Airport to pick up 'Logan Wright' a granddaughter. While returning home in a violent rainstorm Quentin lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree killing Logan. Quentin was seriously injured but is now out of the hospital and recovering at home. These tragedies have devastated the families and they will take a long time to heal.
Rusty was a personal friend and a fellow Christian of many years and her Church family and friends are grieving over these events.
Karen Lynn Walker 62 of Harvest Alabama passed away on Saturday February 5, 2011 at the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham Alabama. Survivors include her husband of 38 years, Joe J. Walker, two daughters, Teri Neiland and husband Bill of Meridianville and Tiffany Davis and husband Stevan of Madison; one son, Jonathan Walker of Huntsville; four grandchildren,Clay, Callie, Nicalos, and Noah; one brother, Larry Taormina and wife Janice of Huntsville; and her parents, John and Edna Riley Taormina. A life celebration gathering will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Laughlin Service Funeral Home. A private burial is planned at Maple Hill Cemetery.Karen Lynn Walker-Edna Gloria Riley-John Hardy Riley- Laura Nellie Riley-Emanuel Riley-Edward Riley-John Riley, Sr.
William Wright, 92, finished his race and received his crown on Friday, September 3, 2010. He was born in Hartford, AL in 1918. With a lifelong love of travel and exploration he joined the Navy and marched in FDR's 2nd inaugural parade. Then he was stationed at Pearl Harbor, surviving the "Day of Infamy," aboard the USS Vestal moored next to the USS Arizona.
From there he served with a flotilla of PT Boats, the same one made famous by JFK's PT109. He met his wife of 64 years, Rusty, and married in 1946 and then was back in the fray of the Korean War. His career took an important turn as a part of the team launching the Navy's early ballistic missile, the "Regulas".
That led to an interview with Dr. Debus and a job with what became NASA after retiring. In 1958 they launched our first satellite Explorer 1 and then was selected for "Operation Hardtack," which launched and detonated a nuclear warhead in the atmosphere over the Pacific.
Back in Cape Canaveral, and then KSC, their team put men into space in the Mercury program and then on the moon with Apollo. From 1956 to 1977 he wasn't just an observer of history, but a participant.
All this along with his love for his wife and family, his unquestioned goodness, his unwavering faith and his passion for sailing and birding was what made "The Greatest Generation" great.
He is survived by his wife, Rusty; his two sons, Bill and Eric and his wife Susan; grandchildren, Eric and Eva, John William and Labri, Quentin and Nadine, Logan and Oceana. His first great grandchild is due in December.
Memorial Services will be at Oceanside Church of Christ, Tuesday September 7th at 4:30 pm.

You may not recognize the name, but you've heard his guitar grooving on tracks from Chic, Sister Sledge, Madonna, Diana Ross, Duran Duran, David Bowie, Adam Lambert, Sam Sparro, Joe Raposo, and now Daft Punk! Disco is alive and well and I absolutely love that the robots are working with so many artists who built the foundation of dance music in the 70s. This album is going to be so damn fun.

Depending on who you talk to, yes.
Scientists are in the process of analyzing DNA collected from the Eastern coyote (Canis latrans) to determine if the master of opportunity is in fact a wolf (Canis lupis). It will be interesting to say the least if this was found to be true since Connecticut considers the Eastern coyote vermin while the two wolf species, Gray wolf and Red wolf, found in the United States are protected as a threatened or endangered species.
I came across this tid-bit of news while researching coyotes in Connecticut, which until the mid 1950's was nonexistent in the state. Back then this cousin to the smaller Western coyote was restricted to the north-west region of the state. Today, it can be found state wide and is an established member of the ecosystem.
As the smaller, western version of the coyote began moving east, it is believed to have either mated with domestic dogs, the Gray wolf or with the Red wolf (Canis rufus) living in New Mexico and the southern states. This conjecture is based on the fact that our Eastern coyotes are significantly larger than its Western cousins. However, a debate is now raging between naturalists and scientists that the Eastern coyote is in fact a distinct wolf species separate from the Red wolf and Gray wolf. In fact, one could think outside the ecological box and think of the Eastern coyote as the Eastern wolf. Fueling the debate is the discovery that the behavior and eating habits of the coyote found in the state and throughout the East Coast is more "wolf-like" compared to the Western coyote. Deer, mice, voles, and rabbits are the chief food source and an individual animal's range is significantly greater. The Eastern coyote is also twice the size of its Western cousin averaging around 60 pounds. In addition, DNA suggests the Eastern coyote is more "wolf" (specifically the Red Wolf) than Western Coyote.
Sadly, research is crawling along at a slow pace because the Eastern coyote is being killed when discovered in a populated area. Part of the "vermin" mentality surrounding the coyote is fear and misunderstanding. Pet owners, especially, fear coyotes because when given the opportunity, they will quickly kill a pet cat or small dog when left unattended. In addition, it is still legal to trap and hunt coyotes in the state as long as all hunters follow specific provisions.
So for now, the debate continues to rage on. But in my opinion, it is very exciting to think that the next time I see a coyote running through the yard or hear a small family pack (usually the Alpha male and female and off spring under two years old) howling in the distance, that it may be in fact a misunderstood wolf species.

In his book Nothing Is Impossible, author Tom Oliver recounts the fascinating discovery of a number of medical studies performed on Reinhold Messner. Messner was the first person to successfully climb Mount Everest without carrying oxygen with him.
He has accomplished a number of other equally impressive mountain climbing records. Many theories abounded about how he was able to make these climbs and endure such harsh conditions where others had failed. Perhaps he had a genetic advantage, or his heart was able to circulate blood more efficiently than everyone else.
Doctors performed several tests on Messner to determine what allowed him to live with such athletic prowess. The doctors were very surprised when the test results came back in. Messner was "totally average", he had no genetic advantage over other competitors.
What made all the difference? He possessed an incredible ability to focus his mind, to literally live by the mantra of mind over matter when it counted the most. It has been said that all rightful battles take place in the mind, Messner learned to concentrate his thoughts only on his outcome, and not on his fears, he won the battle of the mind that many, perhaps most people lose when faced with seemingly impossible odds. (You can learn more about climbing at Cleveland Rock Gym).
Oliver offers a simple but powerful exercise to begin to focus your mind on gratitude. If you are grateful, then fear cannot exist, they are emotionally opposites. He suggest simply this, wake up and "count 10 fingers of gratitude". Just list ten things you are grateful for. Anthony Robbins suggests this for at least ten minutes.
Simply say anything that comes to mind, even if you have to list things you could be grateful for. Chloe Madanes notes that we all have literally thousands of things to appreciate in any given moment because everything we own first passed through dozens if not hundreds of hands.
Imagine the amount of work that has gone into creating and then delivering each and every product in existence. That is the power of gratitude. The secret is to do this daily and especially when you don't feel like it. When you stretch yourself emotionally your muscles grow, just as a physical muscle grows when more pressure is placed on it.
List everything you can think of, and say them out loud, and do this with passion. When you do you will see yourself coming into control of your thoughts and your mind. Once you control your mind and your mouth, you have reached outstanding mastery of who you are and where you are going.

I have used 10.04 for a while using the wubi installation with Windows XP.
I then uninstalled it and gave Fedora 13 a try (on its own partitions).
Now I would like to completely get rid of Fedora and install ubuntu 10.10 (not using the wubi, but the real thing this time), so I will have a dual boot with my XP.
What's the best way to do that?
The only caveat is that I don't have the XP CD in hand (I know it's needed sometimes to run
fixmbr from recovery console to get rid of grub). I can ask for the CD from our admin but it would take a couple of days.

No more funky link with a long number at the end …
Now, if I go to www.facebook.com/username/ at 12:01 am on Saturday, June 13th, 2009 – I can get my own name … or a variation of my name that FB suggests.

So – my advice – get online and get your FB vanity URL. Have I ever led you astray??? No.

Awards special on best of our nation
Birthday Honours, Issue 1421
There was a knighthood for insurance boss Peter Wood in recognition of his services to UK industry and philanthropy. Wood, whose company Esure is poised to sell its Go Compare price comparison site, has given the Tories more than £200,000 since 2009, some of it to help run MP Chris Graylings office.
Meanwhile there was a CBE for Steve Bell, president of the National Conservative Convention and a key representative of grassroots Tories (as well as being partner of Lewes Tory MP Maria Caulfield and a councillor in Brighton in his own right); an OBE for Mike Chattey, head of Conservative party fundraising; and an MBE for Mary Harper, chairman of Conservatives Abroad. Nothing partisan there, then.
In the world of pop, Lucian Grange, the head of Universal Music, which gave the Tories £80,000 in 2010, was also knighted. He has dined with Cameron at Chequers and, somewhat bizarrely, hired former diplomat Sir Nigel Sheinwald, a security adviser to both Tony Blair and Cameron, as his own special adviser. Granges knighthood, and that given to Tory-supporting former tax exile Rod Stewart, at least prove the government is down with the kids. Or not.
Former Lib Dem donors havent gone entirely unrewarded either, with a knighthood for Paul Marshall of hedge fund Marshall Wace fame. He has given the Lib Dems more than £200,000 and encouraged their most City-friendly Orange Book wing. Lest we forget, at the start of the financial crisis Marshall Wace was among the funds shorting the banks (betting on making a profit from a crisis that was leaving the rest of the country in the mire), sparking accusations of hyena behaviour. Marshall Wace is still short-selling betting on a property collapse and further bank woes but the world has moved on and people who do this sort of thing now are apparently the best of our nation.
Failure to regulate the financial sector properly also has its rewards. Treasury permanent secretary John Kingman has been knighted for public service particularly to the economy even though in 2007 he was one of the Treasury geniuses promoting the private finance initiative for public services and light regulation for the City. True, the bank bailout he later helped design stabilised the economy; but it did so using vast public subsidies and in a way that allowed bankers to go on overpaying themselves while ripping off customers. As the Eye has revealed, Kingman enjoyed many agreeable lunches with grateful bankers, and then took two years out of the Treasury to work for one of them, Rothschilds.
The CBE for Tracey McDermott, outgoing acting chief exec of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), appears to be a sop reflecting the FCAs failure to take on the banks. Her predecessor George Wheatley did try to regulate the banks more firmly, but in 2015 chancellor George Osborne announced a softer new settlement with the City which meant Wheatley had no power to do anything. He walked and McDermott gamely filled in at an FCA that no longer had the ability to regulate.
The CBE for Rachel Hopcroft, principal private secretary to cabinet secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, also marks the close relationship between the civil service and City. Hopcroft is leaving Heywood, a champion of privatisation and former Morgan Stanley banker, to become corporate affairs director at KPMG.
Other public servants were rewarded for their work with the poor. Jeremy Moore, top Department for Work and Pensions mandarin, became a Companion of the Order of the Bath for his work on welfare reform. Until 2014 he was in charge of disability issues, including the cruel and expensive fitness-to-work regime; he now oversees strategy and deliverability for welfare in general and (hollow laugh) the social justice agenda. And there was a CBE for Ian Wright, the DWPs programme director in charge of Universal Credit, which still doesnt work.
The CBE for Howard Lyons, outgoing chief executive of Healthcare UK, was one of the top gongs in the health sector. Healthcare UK is a Department of Health body, but it was set up to help UK healthcare providers to do more business overseas, promoting private health firms rather than the NHS. The CBE for Simon Blagden, chairman of Fujitsu, had a health aspect, too. After Fujitsu sold a non-working IT system to the NHS, the government cancelled the scheme and Blagdens firm promptly sued British taxpayers for £700m.
How the OBE awarded for services to immigration detainees to Karen Abdel-Hady, head of detention operations at the Home Office, reflects the very best of our nation, is a mystery given the case of 84-year-old Canadian Alois Dvorzak. The frail pensioner was refused entry to the UK at Gatwick and lay shackled to a security guard for more than five hours before he took his last breath. At the inquest into his death last year, Abdel-Hady admitted she did not have adequate arrangements in place to protect elderly and vulnerable detainees. She was also forced to disclose that Mr Dvorzaks case was no exception and that 90 percent of immigration detainees had been taken to hospital in handcuffs. Prison ombudsman Nigel Newcomen (who already has a CBE), said the case was likely to have reached the threshold of inhuman and degrading treatment and was a tragic indictment of the system. Still, no bar to winning a gong.
Nor, it seems, is involvement with the excesses and fiascos of the pre-crisis boom years. Hence the knighthood for the private equity industrys leading light, Damon Buffini. As head of the Permira group running funds that bought out AA and Birds Eye, Buffini was behind thousands of job cuts while he and colleagues earned millions and paid lower tax rates than their cleaners. Union protesters once famously turned up at the church he was attending with a camel. Rich men may have trouble entering the kingdom of heaven, but there will always be a place for them among the best of the nation.
All is forgiven, too, for Terry Morgan, former chief executive of the unlamented Tube Lines consortium that ran one of the public private partnerships to upgrade the tubes. After fines and funding problems the consortium was bought out by Transport for London in 2010.
Among the crop of gongs for those already doing nicely from the public purse is the honour for the aptly-named Richard Banks, outgoing chief exec of Britains bad bank UK Asset Resolution. He recently flogged £13bn of former Northern Rock loans to US private equity outfit Cerberus and was this year judged by his directors to merit bonuses of £400,000, taking his total pay to £966,000. A CBE is the cherry on top.
