Group A
Goa vs Gujarat: Goa won their last game of the league against Gujarat by four wickets in Rajkot. The top three of the Gujarat line-up ensured their team got to a competitive total after electing to bat first. An 86-run opening stand helped lay a platform for the formidable score. No.3 bat SK Patel made 50 not-out, while openers PK Panchal and RD Darbar made 47 and 43 respectively. Chasing the target, Swapnil Asnodkar once again played a crucial knock for his team. The Goa captain made 64 while the rest of the line-up made useful contributions to help the team to victory with five overs to spare.

Chasing 179 in Rajkot, UP opener PS Gupta powered his team to victory with a 102 not-out. Earlier, Ravi Dewan's 46, at the top of the order, helped set the tone of the innings. Although the middle order returned without a substantial contribution, the lower-middle order batsmen, including R Dalal (24*) and S Rathi (10), took the team to 178 for eight.
Group B
Baroda vs Kerala: Although Baroda's winning streak was halted by Kerala, the team from West Zone confirmed a berth in the final on the basis of their net run-rate. The team from South Zone beat Baroda by 22 runs in the Group B match of the T20 Super League for the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy in Mumbai in their quest to claim a berth in the final. After setting the opposition a 153-run target, thanks to a late blitzkrieg by Raiphi Gomez (42* off 19 balls), Kerala bowlers restricted Baroda to 130 for eight. Click here for the full report.

Kingda Ka—New Jersey
If Steel Dragon's drop was scary, Kingda Ka's is absolutely nightmarish. Kingda Ka is the tallest roller coaster on earth—45 stories high, thus being closer to the sky than any Egyptian pyramid—and also one of the world's fastest, with speeds that reach 128 mph. Furthermore, Kingda Ka, which resides at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, also fires its victims around an upside-down U track in just 59 seconds—this coaster pretty much has it all.

Good morning, folks . . .
As I was stating yesterday, when Alley and Guz start to fight . . .
Well, it looks to me like something big may brew.
Let's see how it goes OK?
Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 19 "The Savage Land of Promise"(10) 5/17/2013 Monday
Panel One
Alley walks off the C-17 super cargo carrier on the tarmac of Ft. Mitchum AFB. Good to stretch his muscular legs. They were starting to cramp again.
Panel Two
He was never much for shoes and his wide feet are so calloused he doesn't feel just how hot the pavement is as he goes in one of the alternate ways to get to Area 49 underground.
Panel Three
Doc Wonmug has asked Dexter Jones and Lavainge Avril to do some background checking on how TexComm gets its "volunteers." (Present worm hole procedures are mostly routine and automatic, but they are still in the loop for now.)
Last that I recall the Mooians have very many rights. The evil Wizer violated a few laws that do exist in Moo, like trying to use dinosaurs against the people of Moo.
Nobody even talked of rights till the lawyer showed up and now suddenly they can't talk of anything else. Make sense?
Not much in this strip has made much sense for the last couple of years. Just crashes from one arc to another like a drunk after the bars close.
Not only do the citizens of Moo already have rights, but they enjoy one of the most peaceful lifestyles I can imagine. I wish alley would just back off from this, he's way off base.
So starts the fight for the next one to go in the pit before Wizer and/or DOWEE climb out of it.
It amazes me how almost none of you can spell Doowee's name right, in spite of how many times it appears in the strip above ("Dowee" or "Doowie"). Come on people, you can't be so lazy that you can't scroll up and check the comic, can you?
Good Morning Benders and readers of Alley Oop. It's slow
day Monday. Alley is a good advocate for the people of Moo
but usually is time traveling leaving Guz to keep the citizens of Moo safe and properous. Foozy has seen these
arguments between Alley and Guz many times. The real
enemy is Doowee
Always wondered if Guz and Alley were brothers. Maybe cousins after Guz got ears, 2nd cousins after guz got the round nose, and no relation after the nose wart showed up!
legal rights? as opposed to illegal rights?
Rights the govt doesn't recognize.
Good Morning Benders and readers of Alley Oop. It's slow day Monday.
Yes, and tomorrow is slow day Tuesday. Then we get slow day Wednesday. Followed by slow day everyday.
Originally both Alley and Guz looked alike, no visible ears.
Re: "legal rights? as opposed to illegal rights?"
Yes, even though it seems impossible, this story continues to get dumber every day. — It must be the leaves, Billdi.
However, before you agree, we should wait for LoboGrande's official judgment on my illegal negative comment. Meanwhile, you must be careful with your words, lest your impatient sarcasm be severely censured

The renovation of Marietta's National Guard Armory is apparently back on track, but with a pared-back schedule for completion, according to a presentation by the city administration during Tuesday's meeting of city council's lands, buildings and parks committee.
"We believe we have come up with a plan to make the armory renovation feasible by breaking it down into phases that will allow us to keep the project moving," said Mayor Joe Matthews. "But we will be asking CAPS (Citizens Armory Preservation Society) and FOTA (Friends of the Armory) to contribute to this project."
The mayor said the first phase of the project could be accomplished with current available funding and would include complete roof replacement and insulation, lead abatement and cleanup, and replacement of doors and windows.
"We can continue with more phases as we receive donations and future grant funding," Matthews added.
City engineer Joe Tucker said the initial phase would be contracted in two bid packages. The first would include demolition, lead paint abatement, roof replacement and roof insulation, structural repairs to the building's first and second floor south end framing, and all work to install an elevator and elevator lobby.
Tucker said construction of the armory's front steps could also be included as an alternate in that bid package.
The second bid package, to be completed by July 20, would include replacement of all exterior doors, frames and windows, including replacement of eight lintels.
Tucker requested $3,800 from the Gutberlet Armory Fund to get the work started by having Davis Architectural Group change the project scope to coincide with the current grants and funds available for the project.
The lands, buildings and parks committee members agreed to approve the $3,800 through legislation that will be introduced during Thursday's city council meeting.
City development director Andy Coleman said funding from three currently available grants could be used to pay for the project's initial phase.
He said the $461,000 Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant, the deadline for which has been extended several times by the state, would be restructured to $183,726 with a local match of $36,745.
Coleman said after talking with state officials he felt reasonably sure the energy grant deadline would be extended once more to August 31 of this year.
A Transportation Equity Grant in the amount of $321,860 could be used 100 percent for construction and administration costs on the project if the city maintains possession of the armory building. If ownership is transfered to another entity, the total grant would have to be spent outside the building's current footprint.
Coleman said outside work could include the elevator, elevator shaft, and fire escape. The local match for that grant would be $80,465.
A federal Housing and Urban Development Economic Development Initiative grant for $149,115 is also available, and up to 20 percent of those funds can be used to pay architect fees, Coleman said.
The remaining monies from the HUD grant must be spent on the elevator and elevator lobby.
Lands, buildings and parks committee chairman Harley Noland, D-at large, said the plan submitted by the city administration is feasible.
"This shows the city is moving forward to preserve the armory's structure by making the roof and floors safe, getting the windows and doors done, and having the lead paint abated, and we can get this all started for $3,800 from the Gutberlet fund," he said.
Tucker noted that the $3,800 would also be reimbursible through the HUD grant.
More than $80,000 in funding raised by CAPS and FOTA would be needed to help front the monies needed for the project since all of the grant monies would be used to reimburse the city for the construction expenses.
Members of both groups were present during Tuesday's committee meeting and agreed to allow a special line item to be developed for those funds in the city budget.
Finance committee chairman Tom Vukovic, D-4th Ward, also asked city law director Paul Bertram III to develop a resolution stating that if those monies were not used for the armory they would be returned to the CAPS and FOTA groups.
One question not answered during Tuesday's meeting was whether the city would stand to lose the potential for approximately $1 million in state and federal historic tax credits by following the administration's proposed plan.

A CCTV camera captured the moment when a truck hit the roof of a tunnel in Australia's Sydney on Thursday (November 14).
The footage shows the truck approaching the tunnel with its tray lifted and then hitting the roof when entering the tunnel.
Local media, quoting authorities, said the driver was bending down to pick up his glasses when he accidentally knocked the controls and raised his tipper.
The crash caused major traffic delays on the busy M5 motorway. No one was injured or hurt, local media said.
Emergency crews and engineers assessed the damage after the crash but reopened the tunnel later on Thursday.
Local media said New South Wales authorities said the truck company can expect to receive a hefty repair bill.

|Studio album by Yes
|28 November 1974 (UK)
5 December 1974 (U.S.)[nb 1]
|August–October 1974
|New Pipers, Virginia Water, Surrey, England
|Progressive rock
|Yes chronology
|Singles from Relayer
Relayer is the seventh studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released on 28 November 1974 in the United Kingdom and 5 December 1974 in the United States by Atlantic Records. Following the departure of keyboardist Rick Wakeman, the group recruited Swiss player Patrick Moraz as his replacement in August 1974 and recorded the album in bassist Chris Squire's home in Virginia Water, Surrey. Recorded in a similar format as Close to the Edge (1972) with one side-long track ("The Gates of Delirium") and two shorter tracks ("Sound Chaser" and "To Be Over"), Relayer saw Yes experiment with elements of funk and jazz fusion.
Relayer received a mixed to positive reception from contemporary and retrospective critics, and reached No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 5 on the US Billboard 200. The closing section of "The Gates of Delirium", titled "Soon", was released as a single in January 1975. Relayer continued to sell, and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales in excess of 500,000 copies. The album was remastered in 2003 with previously unreleased tracks, and in 2014 with new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes and additional bonus tracks.
In May 1974, after the Tales from Topographic Oceans tour in support of their ambitious double album Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973) ended, keyboardist Rick Wakeman decided to leave Yes as he could not understand its concept and disagreed with the musical direction the band took. The band's line-up during this time included singer Jon Anderson, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, and drummer Alan White.
While the band started writing and rehearsing for Relayer, several keyboardists were auditioned including Greek musician Vangelis. As Phil Carson of Atlantic Records later explained, "He came to London and tried out Yes but it didn't really gel ... Vangelis wouldn't get on a plane and wouldn't fly anywhere and Yes were about to go on tour."[1] At the suggestion of music journalist and author Chris Welch, the band invited Swiss-born Patrick Moraz of Refugee to a try out session at Squire's home in August 1974.[2] Moraz used Vangelis's keyboards for his first session.[3] The band liked what he did, and Moraz subsequently joined full-time.[4]
Relayer was recorded between August and October 1974 at New Pipers, Squire's then home in Virginia Water, Surrey that he bought in 1972. This marked the first time Yes had recorded a studio album outside London. Eddy Offord assumed his role as the band's engineer and moved his recording equipment into the garage to make a temporary studio.[5] The album's production duties were shared among Offord and the group.[6] The album was then mixed at Advision Studios in London.
Relayer has a similar format to Close to the Edge, with one track occupying the side one and two tracks situated on side two. According to Anderson, the band wrote two additional tracks but did not have enough time to record them. One of them was described as "absolutely crazy and intricate."[7]
Howe uses a 1955 Fender Telecaster on Relayer,[8] marking a departure from his Gibson ES-175 that he had used since The Yes Album. He also uses a pedal steel guitar on "The Gates of Delirium" and "To Be Over".[9] A pedal steel guitar is also used in certain parts of "Sound Chaser", as seen in live footage. Squire uses a Fender bass guitar on "To Be Over". Moraz uses a number of keyboards that are not found on other Yes albums, including a custom built Vako Orchestron, a polyphonic synthesizer.
"The Gates of Delirium" is a 22-minute track that Anderson described as "a war song, a battle scene, but it's not to explain war or denounce it, really ... There's a prelude, a charge, a victory tune, and peace at the end, with hope for the future."[7] Moraz recalled discussing War and Peace and Leo Tolstoy with Anderson as they both read the book, after which Moraz showed Anderson a French science fiction comic book with "Delirius" in the title. Moraz said, "he related to it immediately so I think that perhaps as a title 'The Gates of Delirium' came from that".[10] Anderson and White stopped by a scrap yard and bought metal car parts which were used as percussion during the song's battle section.[11] During the battle section, White formed a tower of the parts and pushed it over to make a crashing sound. The track concludes with a gentle melody and a lyrical prayer for peace which later became known as "Soon".
"Sound Chaser" displays Yes' experiment with jazz fusion and funk influences. During Moraz's audition session with the band, he was asked to play an introduction to the song which ended up on the album.[12] He has called his Moog synthesizer solo at the end of the track a highlight moment but felt the keyboards on the rest of the album buried in the final mix.[13]
"To Be Over" features more melodic arrangements of guitar and electric sitar and relatively straightforward lyrics. Anderson described the track as "strong in content, but mellow in overall attitude ... It's about how you should look after yourself when things go wrong."[7] When the song's lyrics were being written, Howe suggested to have the line "She won't know what it means to me" follow "We go sailing down the calming streams" but Anderson changed it to "To be over we will see", a change that Howe thought was "creatively disguised" to make a broader lyrical statement.[14] Moraz felt constricted to perform an improvised keyboard solo for the song, so he wrote down a counterpoint solo "exactly like a classical fugue" to blend his keyboards with the guitar and bass.[14]
Sleeve design[edit]
The album's sleeve was designed and illustrated by English artist Roger Dean, who had designed artwork for the band since 1971. Speaking about the cover in 2004, Dean said: "I was playing with the ideas of the ultimate castle, the ultimate wall of a fortified city. That was more of a fantastical idea. I was looking for the kinds of things like the Knights Templar would have made or what you'd see in the current movie Lord of the Rings. The curving, swirling cantilevers right into space."[15] The images depicted in many of Dean's album covers set an otherworldly tone and are an identifiable part of the band's visual style. For Relayer, the warriors on horseback reflect the lyrical themes of war present in "The Gates of Delirium".[16] The sleeve includes an untitled poem by writer Donald Lehmkuhl dated October 1974.[nb 2] The album's CD reissue features two additional paintings by Dean.
Relayer was released in the UK on 28 November 1974 during their 1974–75 tour of North America and the UK. Its U.S. release followed on 5 December that year.[nb 1] The album continued the band's commercial success in the 1970s; it peaked at number 4 in the UK[17] and number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Top LPs chart.[18] The closing section of "The Gates of Delirium", titled "Soon", was released as a single on 8 January 1975 with an edited version of "Sound Chaser" on the B-side.[nb 3] The album is certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[19]
|Professional ratings
|Review scores
Relayer received a mostly positive reaction from music critics. Music journalist and author Chris Welch gave a positive review for Melody Maker, praising the album as "one of the most successful and satisfying Yes albums". He described "The Gates of Delirium" as a "powerful piece ... and benefits by the time structures imposed by this single album." Welch continued to note the band "at their best, creating tension and release with consummate ease, and preparing the way for Jon's crystalline vocals" at the end of the battle section which segues into "Soon".[22] In its December 1974 review, Billboard magazine called Relayer "another nearly flawless effort" by Yes and noted Moraz "fits in perfectly". It concluded with "one of the simpler, yet at the same time, one of the most workable sets the band has come up with."[23] Those who gave the album a negative review thought it was the follow-up to Tales from Topographic Oceans (1973), an album they felt was pretentious and overblown.[24]
In a retrospective review for Allmusic, William Ruhlmann rated the album three stars out of five. He thought since Yes had "little incentive to curb their musical ambitiousness" at the time, the album "alternated abrasive, rhythmically dense instrumental sections featuring solos for the various instruments with delicate vocal and choral sections featuring poetic lyrics devoted to spiritual imagery."[20]
Howe described the music on Relayer as "very modern, European style of music, and Patrick brought in a South American flavour as well. It was a very international record".[5] Squire thought some of the interaction between his bass and White's drums was better than anything heard on previous Yes albums at that point.[25] Moraz summarised the album's recording as "pretty loose, but the energy is there".[25]
Relayer was first reissued on CD in Europe[nb 4] and the US[nb 5] in 1988 by Sterling Sound. In 2003, the album was digitally remastered on Rhino and Elektra Records which included single edits of "Soon" and "Sound Chaser" and a studio run-through of "The Gates of Delirium"[nb 1] with less keyboards and alternate song structures in parts but an identical "battle" section as heard in the final version. 2009 saw the album remastered by Isao Kikuchi for the Japanese market.[nb 6] The 2003 remastered edition was included in the band's The Studio Albums 1969–1987 box set, released in 2013.
In November 2014, Relayer was reissued as CD/DVD-Audio and CD/Blu-ray Disc packs on the Panegyric label with new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes by Steven Wilson. The packs feature bonus tracks including an original master transfer and studio run-through versions of each track. The Blu-ray Disc include an instrumental mix of the album. This is the third Yes album reissued by Panegyric following Close to the Edge and The Yes Album.

Each Advanced Health Shake contains full spectrum whey peptides that are easy to digest and faster for the body to absorb and use than other proteins. It contains stevia- a dietary supplement that is 250-300% times sweeter than table sugar. Despite its sweetness' stevia does not trigger a rise in blood sugar which leads to fatigue. This clinical grade whey shake provides the body with energy without the sugar. Drinking Advanced Health Shake protein supplement for breakfast and lunch with an organic salad or vegetables and some healthy fat can help shed the fat pounds. Adding in some weight bearing exercise will help build muscles while taking inches off.
Best Natural Food for glutathione production: Quality whey provides all the key amino acids for glutathione production (cysteine' glycine and glutamate) and contains a unique cysteine residue (glutamylcysteine) that is highly bioactive in its affinity for converting to glutathione. Glutamylcysteine is a bonded cysteine molecule (cysteine plus glutamate) that naturally occurs in Bovine Serum Albumin – a fragile immune component of whey. This unique cysteine is exclusive to whey and rarely appears in other protein foods – which makes whey protein the best glutathione-promoting food source. Support active lifestyles and age related loss of production of critical amino acids and related decline in muscle mass (sarcopenia)' immune functions' energy production' recovery from injury' illness' physical stress (including workouts).

Beneficial Prebiotic Soluble Dietary fibers:
According to the Mayo Clinic' prebiotics are a non-digestible fermentable fiber used as an energy source for the "friendly" bacteria living in your gastrointestinal tract that aid in absorbing nutrients and boost your immune system. Soluble fibers dissolve in water to form a gel-like substance. This type of fiber helps prolong stomach emptying time which causes sugar to be released and absorbed more slowly. Soluble fiber aids in lowering the "bad" cholesterol and assists in regulating constipation and diarrhea. It is a complex carbohydrate pre-biotic that creates a favorable environment for the growth of friendly probiotics in the gut by providing them food and energy.
Why you need it!
Sugar drives fat storage and makes the brain think that it is hungry' resulting in cravings. Cravings occur when there is stress' fatigue' boredom' depression or poor self image. Chocolate cake' ice cream' candy bars' junk food' fast foods are just a few of the things people crave. The top three cravings are sweets' fatty foods and salty foods.

Didn't like taste.
Was hoping I'd like Advanced Health Shake by Time4Health for the price I had to pay.
The satisfaction of feeling full.
Don't like the taste at all. I wished I could taste the flavor more, it doesn't mask the taste of the ingredients.
By Dr. Nancy
from Cleveland, Ohio
Way better than most!
I have been working with a Functional Medicine team for more than a year and have tried numerous protein drink mixes. Advanced Health Shake by Time4Health is one of the better ones. It tastes good, mixes well with no gritty after taste. I mix it with coconut milk..
Taste, consistency, flavor, ease of use. Satisfying and holds me until lunch time.
It could have a richer flavor, for my taste, but I'm picky!
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Grieving parents of a young cancer victim have been told they must pay £672 a year in bedroom tax – for leaving their daughter's room untouched in her memory.
Seven-year-old Becky Bell's ashes have been kept in her bedroom, left exactly as it was when she died of brain cancer last January.
But parents, Julie and Mark, of Hartlepool, have been told it will be classed as a "spare room" and they must pay £56 a month from April.
Mum-of-three Julie, 41, said: "It doesn't bear thinking about, them calling it a spare room, it's Becky's.
"We don't want to be different from anyone else and some people may think a year is a long time, but we are still grieving.
"The Government doesn't look at individual circumstances, all they see is the pound signs."
Under the changes, working age social housing tenants will be affected by the bedroom tax if they are "under-occupying" homes.
From April, households with spare rooms will see benefits slashed by £13 a week for one bedroom or £22 for two. An estimated 95,000 families could be pushed into poverty.
Julie, who is currently out of work, and Mark, 37, a part-time taxi driver are tenants of social landlord Housing Hartlepool and receive around £40 a week in housing benefits.
Under the bedroom tax they will need to pay a total of £672 a year for Becky's room.
After an appeal for help, local MP Iain Wright said their circumstances were "heartbreaking" and has sent a letter to the Tory Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Iain Duncan Smith, expressing his dismay.
A spokesman for Housing Hartlepool said: "This is a unique and difficult case. We are very sad at the terrible bereavement Julie and Mark suffered with the loss of Becky.
"We will work with Mr and Mrs Bell to ensure they receive the best advice and support."

If you like to sit back and watch a great show, then Lees-McRae's Summer Theatre productions are right up your alley! With only one fantastic performance left (scheduled from August 4-10), be sure to buy your tickets today so you can enjoy the thrills of Broadway in your own backyard.
Wrapping up another fantastic summer of theatre will be Singin' in the Rain. You remember the plot. You love the characters. You know "the song." It's no less than the stage adaptation of one of the most celebrated and beloved films of all time.
"When I was a child, my mom took me to see Singin' in the Rain and I was hooked," said Dr. Janet Barton Speer, director for Singin' in the Rain and founder of Lees-McRae Summer Theatre. "It has been my dream to direct it, but I had to find just the right people to pull it off. Now we have the team that can produce this musical classic."
1920s Hollywood is the setting for this zany, light-hearted romantic comedy about the early days of sound film, when many a movie studio found itself scrambling to salvage the career of its chipmunk-voiced silent picture star.
Singin' in the Rain will be performed on the following dates and times: August 5, 7, 8 and 9 at 7 p.m., and August 4, 8 and 10 at 2 p.m.
For more information on Summer Theatre, please call 828-898-8709. All shows are held in the Broyhill Theatre of Hayes Auditorium. Online ticket purchases are available at www.lmst.lmc.edu. The Box Office is also open in Hayes Auditorium.

Access to modified pension scheme for firefighters working the Retained Duty System
15th August 2011
Dear Brother/Sister,
Members and officials will be aware that due to the continuing unacceptable delay in them implementing the legislation which will allow eligible RDS firefighters access to the 'Modified' Firefighters' Pension Scheme the FBU has been applying pressure on the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).
The FBU has made it quite clear on numerous occasions that this delay is entirely the responsibility of DCLG and their legal team, and it represents a further attack on firefighter Pension Schemes in general.
To this end the FBU instructed its legal team to write formally to Treasury Solicitors highlighting the unacceptable position and explaining that further legal action will be taken in the event of any continued delay. In addition to this, a letter was also sent to the English Fire Minister Bob Neill, which also highlighted the union's frustration and concern at the unacceptable delay, which the FBU reiterated was entirely the fault of DCLG.
On 22nd July 2011 the FBU received a response from Bob Neill, which accepted that it was important to implement the order as soon as possible and that he would do all he could to ensure the FBU is presented with a draft order as soon as possible.
Subsequently, at a meeting which took place with the FBU General Secretary and Assistant General Secretary on 27th July 2011, Bob Neill gave an assurance that this draft order would be made available to the union in the last week of August or at the latest in the first two weeks of September.
The FBU recognises that members wishing to join this 'Modified' scheme have been very patient and that this patience is wearing very thin. However it must be reiterated that the delays are entirely the fault of DCLG and its legal team and that the union will be continually pressing all parties to achieve the position that was won after an extensive legal challenge.
Members and officials will be given updates on this issue via Head Office circulars and the FBU website www.fbu.org.uk
Yours in Unity,
National Officer
Cameron visits Manchester and Salford Fire Crews as Service Braces Itself to Lose One In Six Frontline Posts
August 12, 2011 by webmaster
Filed under National Press Releases
Prime Minister David Cameron visited Salford and Manchester fire crews today in the aftermath of major civil unrest which saw the crews face a barrage of brick and bottles as they fought fires. The Fire Brigades Union described his visit to a brigade bracing itself for huge frontline cuts as a 'shameless' PR stunt.
The Manchester fire service is proposing to axe 250 frontline posts – one in six – because of Government funding cuts. The frontline cuts will see up to 15 fire engines being axed at night.
Andy Dark, FBU assistant general secretary said: "This is a shameless PR stunt. Manchester fire service is being cut to shreds as a result of decisions made by David Cameron's Government.
"We're facing a toxic diet of massive frontline cuts, a pay freeze and attacks on pensions. The coalition is destroying morale in the fire service.
"Fire crews are fed up being patted on the back by politicians one minute and stabbed in the back the next. The relentless attacks on the fire service and firefighters show this Government doesn't care about the fire service."
Civil Disturbances
12th August 2011
Dear Brother/Sister,
We will all have been horrified by the recent civil disturbances. The Executive Council and all officials at every level of the Union will want to join the General Secretary in congratulating all members whether crews on appliances, officers or control staff, for their hard work and professionalism carried out under very difficult circumstances.
Head Office has been following the events as closely as we can, and has made the appropriate comments in press releases which can be viewed on the FBU Website. There has been some very useful media coverage as a result.
We have avoided speculation on the direct or underlying causes of the disturbances, and have concentrated on the following themes:
- mentality of the Fire & Rescue Service
- the frustration that firefighters' experience when not being able to tackle incidents early in such circumstances
- the importance of monitoring crew safety
- the importance of the Fire Service, the stupidity and shortsightedness of cuts in the Service
- calling for government and others to take a stand in opposing cuts in the Service
We have received messages of support from a number of key fire and rescue service leaders which have been welcome. It is disappointing to note however, that the FBU is the only fire and rescue service organisation which is taking a positive stance on these key issues.
We have also had support from the FBU's parliamentary group at Westminster, most notably John McDonnell, and also from Chris Williamson the lead on fire service matters on the Labour front bench. We have ensured that our concerns have been raised on the floor of the House of Commons.
Whilst our roles at incidents are very different, we do share a number of common problems with police officers and their various representative bodies, principally the Police Federation. Cuts in front line service, alongside increasing demands on the time and resources of the personnel have pushed the two services to breaking point. This point had been reached before the occurrence of the widespread civil uproar over the last week.
Similarly, the FBU, police trade unions and the members in both services endure all of this whilst employers attack our pay and conditions, and government attacks our pensions despite the demands of the occupations and the high contribution rates that are paid by members of the pension scheme that operate in the two sectors.
We welcome the recognition and praise afforded to our members by politicians but, as so often, these words are not met by any substantive action to support and assist members. Whilst we look ourselves, as does the public, and see men and women in the uniform of dedicated emergency service professionals, government ministers and employers seem to view members through some prism, and see men and women in the garb of butlers and housemaids to be patted on the head once in a while, and treated appallingly all the time.
The FBU's response to the riots and the demands on the Service has been measured and factual. We have avoided an opportunistic and sensationalist approach.
We have received a number of reports from officials and members. We would like to have as comprehensive a picture as possible of what took place over this period (and may yet take place again)
It would be useful, therefore, if members could supply us with any information or events that you feel may assist the Union in relaying the experience of the Service to politicians, police and press.
It may be something simple e.g.
- whether meals were provided when crews were away from the station for protracted periods
- the length of time crews were away from station.
Or more data or call-related e.g.
- the number of calls received by the FRS
- rescues carried out
- attacks by rioters on firefighters' and appliances/FRS property
- injuries suffered by members
- the details of crews deployed to incidents
- the effect on attendance times to incidents not related to the civil disorder
Please do send in anything you may be of interest. We may not be able to deal with the information or acknowledge receipt or give any feedback. We would like to emphasise that it's information that we require rather than opinions on the riots, the causes and so on.
Confidentiality will be observed of course. Anonymously provided information can be less helpful as there is no simple method to verify the information. The more detailed the information, the better:
Dates, times, names, locations, statistics, concise summaries of events and actions – all these are key elements. Remember to include the details of your station/workplace and Brigade.
Information submitted by email should be sent to email@example.com
If you would prefer to send information by post, please address to CD information, FBU, Bradley House, Coombe Road, KT2 7AE.
Again, in closing, well done to all members for their actions over the last week. The job now for officials and for members is to bring the lessons of this week to politicians and the media.
I hope you will assist me by contacting politicians at both ward and national level, urging them to stop attacking firefighters' and control staff through our pensions; to stop cutting and start re-investing in the Fire Service, and to reward your dedication with a pay deal to ensure stability and fairness within the Service.
Yours fraternally,
Assistant General Secretary
Fire Crews Sickened by the Silence of Politicians Over Fire Service Cuts
August 10, 2011 by webmaster
Filed under Local Press Releases, National Press Releases
The Fire Brigades Union says fire crews are 'sickened' by the silence of politicians over fire service cuts. Politicians have been queuing up to question police cuts, but none have yet challenged the same cuts to the fire service.
The union has been inundated by fire crews complaining about the lack of opposition to major fire service cuts in wake of widespread civil disturbances. The strongest and most recent comments have come from fire crews working in areas of recent unrest.
Fire crews have made similar comments over recent years in the aftermath of floods, extensive wildfires and in dealing with extreme winter weather. Like civil disturbances involving widespread arson, these incidents can tie up crews for protracted periods, sometimes months.
The last wave of cuts saw the loss of 1,000 frontline posts by April 2011. But ever increasing Government cuts will see that rise to at least 6,000 by 2014.
The cuts are being concentrated on full-time fire crews in largely urban areas, some of which have taken the brunt of recent unrest. The biggest cuts have happened and more threatened in Manchester, Merseyside, West Midlands, Yorkshire and the South West.
Recent civil unrest has shown how easily and quickly fire services can be stretched and struggle to cope. These disturbances, like others in the past, have seen widespread and major arson.
The FBU warns the fire service will also reach breaking point dealing with major incidents such as Floods, wildfires and extreme winter weather. These incidents are more frequent and can last for weeks and even months.
Andy Dark, FBU Assistant General secretary said: "Fire crews and angry and sickened by the silence on widespread frontline fire service cuts. We are already stretched and struggling and that will only get worse.
"It's not only civil unrest that highlights the problems. We've faced mass wildfires, terrible floods and freezing winter weather which stretched fire crews for weeks and even months.
"Claims that fire services can fall back on each other and pool resources don't stand up when the cuts are widespread. The overall pool of frontline resources is being drained away and it will get worse year after year.
"Pre-election promises not to cut frontline services have proved worthless. You don't get much more frontline than a 999 response and we're being cut to pieces.
"The police are facing the same issues, but at least this is now being challenged and there is public debate. Why is their silence on frontline fire service cuts and how does the Government expect us to cope with far fewer frontline crews in the years ahead?
"We're over-stretched and struggling now when we have to deal with a whole range of major incidents. We'll be at breaking point when the cuts really bite over the next two years."
Central Government grants to fire and rescue service budgets are being slashed by 25% in the next four years. The budget cuts are staged to get worse year on year – so called 'back-loading'.
The job cuts – mostly losses through not replacing those who leave – cover wholetime, retained and firefighters in control. The heaviest losses are to wholetime firefighters.

Attacks on Fire Crews Must Stop Before People Die
August 9, 2011 by webmaster
Filed under National Press Releases
The Fire Brigades Union is warning that attacks on fire crews will result in deaths if they continue. Any delay in carrying out rescues hugely increases the risk to anyone trapped in a fire.
FBU Assistant General Secretary Andy Dark said: "Fire crews have been subjected to attacks and threatened as they try to protect the communities they live and work in. It is predominantly poorer working class communities that are bearing the brunt of arson attacks.
"Fire crews are doing their best in the face of great risk to themselves. They've been attacked on the way to incidents, at the scene and there have been attempts to steal life saving equipment.
"Those who are torching homes, shops and workplaces need to understand they are seriously risking lives. There is a very real risk that this will result in a significant loss of life if it goes on.
"Fire crews are frustrated and angry that they cannot get to burning buildings, especially where people may be trapped. Fire crews have to be able to get through without fear of attack or serious injury or people will die.
"We've seen businesses lost, many of them small retailers in what is left of our High Streets. Livelihoods are being lost and it's jobs going up in smoke, not just buildings.
"We're making a direct appeal to those involved to let the fire crews through and let them get on with the job. Fire won't wait, and any delay risks lives being lost or the total loss of homes, shops and workplaces.
"All we have is kit to protect from the danger of fires, not from bricks, bottles or metal bars. We do not arrest people and we only use water on fires, we do not use it on those involved in these disturbances.
"In recent days the fire service has been overwhelmed in London. There is a clear risk this will also be the case in other cities if these disturbances spread further."

Essex Fire Crews put Forward Compromise Deal in Attempt to Bring Two-Year Dispute to an End
August 8, 2011 by webmaster
Filed under National Press Releases
Essex Fire Brigades Union are putting forward a compromise deal it hopes will end its long running dispute with Essex Fire Authority. The deal would see the union agree to more flexible crewing arrangements at fire stations to ensure the focus remains on protecting the frontline.
It will reluctantly accept some reductions in overall staffing numbers across the whole service. Fire crews have been taking industrial action short of a strike for two years in protest at cuts and imposed changes.
The deal would see a reprieve for the cuts at Brentwood and Canvey fire stations until at least 31st March 2013. This allows time for the Fire Authority, Fire Brigades Union and the local councils time to look at viable alternatives when round 2 of the central government funding settlement is known.
The detailed terms of the deal are based on those negotiated and agreed by both sides in July 2010. The Chief Fire Officer decided he could not sign that deal when anticipating Government funding cuts of £7.5 million.
The Union says the terms of the new deal are affordable until at least 31st March 2013 because the Government grant settlement was more generous than the Essex Chief Fire Officer anticipated. Instead of a £10 million cut in funding which was suggested by senior officers, the outcome was in fact only a £50,000 cut for 2011/2012 and a £750,000 increase in budget for 2012/2013.
The FBU also points to the £4.8 million the Fire Authority have taken from this year's budget to put into hugely increased reserves earmarked to cover the rising costs of increasingly over budget projects including IT and the expansion of the Service Headquarters development at Kelvedon Park.
Mick Rogers, Essex FBU Brigade Secretary:
"This is a compromise deal for us but if agreed it will provide some protection to the frontline of the Service which is what the public of Essex, Firefighters, Officers and Control Operators expect when you consider the Fire Authority have received additional funding. We can confirm that we have the mandate from our members to sign the deal today if it is agreed.
"Our aim is to minimise cuts to the frontline services which is what all political parties say they want. We remain realistic about the potential funding issues from 1st April 2013 when we'll see what the next round of Government funding grants will be.
"Signing this deal now would give all parties a 12-month window in which to work together. We can look at all options available to maintain our vital frontline services in the challenging times ahead.
"We hope that the opportunity this compromise deal offers is seized by all parties involved.

Stop Putting Firefighters at Risk, Union Tells London Fire Brigade After Damning Health and Safety Executive Report
August 1, 2011 by webmaster
Filed under Health & Safety, National Press Releases
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has called on London Fire Brigade bosses to give greater commitment to the safety of its firefighters, after a damning report by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) identified several failings.
The report by the HSE was a follow-up exercise, focusing specifically on areas of concern which arose following the deaths of two London firefighters – Bill Faust and Adam Meere – at a fire in Bethnal Green in 2004. While improvements had been identified in some areas, in others the lessons have not been learned
The report, made public by the Fire Brigades Union, highlights thirteen areas for improvement, including the need for better training in the use of breathing apparatus. The HSE has told London Fire Brigade to come up with an action plan to address the shortcomings.
Key points from the report include:
- A widespread view by firefighters that training in core firefighting skills had taken a back seat to "community work";
- Concerns over the quality and frequency of training in the "risk critical" area of use of breathing apparatus while tackling fires;
- Demands by firefighters for better training often going unheeded by bosses;
- Officers expected to deliver training often complain that they have received insufficient training themselves;
- A lack of facilities for "real fire training", which would simulate real-life firefighting scenarios.
The FBU's regional health and safety co-ordinator, Gordon Fielden, said, "This very disturbing report puts the London Fire Brigade on notice that it must do much more to protect its firefighters from danger while they are at work.
"We are especially alarmed over the many concerns raised by the HSE over the inadequacy of breathing apparatus training. This is the most critical part of a firefighter's job, and one that can make the difference between lives being lost or saved.
The London Fire Brigade expects its firefighters to put their lives on the line to rescue others. The very least it can do is to make sure it gives them the very best training to do their jobs. But it is failing, and the result of that failure could well be lives lost.
"We have been arguing for a long time that training in core firefighting skills is being sacrificed to allow for more extensive work in the community. Community work has its place, but is wrong and dangerous for the brigade not to make basic training the priority.
"Previously the brigade has audited itself in some of these areas, and not surprisingly those audits produced glowing conclusions and an outpouring of self-congratulation. But it has taken an independent body to show that those audits were a charade.
Now the brigade has been handed an action plan for its failings. The chairman of the fire authority, Councillor Brian Coleman, has been very quick in the past to bathe in the glow of perceived success. Now he needs to take responsibility for these serious failings.
"It is also a shot across the bow of those who have been agitating for swingeing cuts in the fire service. Cuts cost lives, and there can be no compromise when it comes to protecting the lives of Londoners and firefighters themselves.
"We will be watching the brigade like a hawk. Notices to improve in thirteen areas is a very serious matter, and they had better get started. Our members do a magnificent job, and we will not allow their safety to be jeopardised by poor training or cost-cutting."

There are many large, high-traffic sites today that use hover menus. It has become the default navigation scheme to use because it's the only scheme most designers can think of when designing large sites with a lot of content. What many don't know is that there are a lot of usability issues with hover menus.
Hover menus are like link dumping. You're basically dumping links into a container and calling it a day. You can do better than that. Is that what interaction design is about - dumping a set of links into a relavant category and slapping a menu around that? A high school kid could do that. Real, true interaction designers need to go beyond that.
Why Hover Menus Do Users More Harm Than Good
Interaction designers not only need to understand the many problems with hover menus, but they also need to stop putting so much focus on their menus alone. Menus don't engage users because they are just a list of links. Most users prefer to navigate through content navigation links on the page because they're accompanied by descriptive and illustrative text and images that tell users exactly what they'll get before they click. They see what they want, they click it - it's simple and clear.
On a menu all you see is a text label. While this might be enough for a returning user who has been to the site several times before, most users who visit your site for the first time are going to have to think to interpret it. If their interpretation is wrong, you have just wasted their time and now they have to hit the back button and continue searching. But if you had simple, clear content navigation links on your page, most users wouldn't even bother with the menus and would just go straight to that.
Why Content Navigation Links Matter More Than Menus
A lot of user navigation problems can be solved by eliminating hover menus and choosing a better alternative, and by designing better content navigation links on your page. These are insights that every serious interaction designer needs to know when they're designing at website.

Crown Trade's Fast Drying Cladding System – Offering A Cost Effective Refurb Solution For Specifiers
Published by Jo Foster for Crown Trade in Housing and also in Communities
Crown Trade's Protective Coatings Fast Drying Cladding Finish
Crown Trade's Protective Coatings Fast Drying Cladding Finish provides an economical and effective means of refurbishing and reviving tired and faded metal cladding surfaces, under a cost-effective and straightforward refurbishment process.
Developed to specifically adhere to pre-coated and weathered metal cladding and other external features that have become dull and discoloured over time, Fast Drying Cladding Finish is ideal for a wide-range of environments including retail sites, sports halls and warehouses.
Once completed, the product offers surface protection and good looks for up to eight years.
Fast Drying Cladding Finish is available in a wide range of colours. This means specifiers can usually match up existing areas on a cladding surface if a complete change of colour at the site is not required – offering a cost effective refurbishment solution.
The water-based formulation also offers a quick drying time and incorporates anti-mould properties to maintain an attractive aesthetic finish for the longer term.
Debbie Orr, Senior Brand Manager for Crown Trade, said: "Crown Trade Protective Coatings Fast Drying Cladding Finish is a water-based, single pack coating, developed specifically to offer the superior adhesion required to refurbish pre-coated and weathered metal cladding.
"Two easy-to-apply coats can quickly transform cladding and other external features that have become weathered, dull and discoloured over time, bringing exterior metal cladding back to pristine condition.
"Where the existing coating has failed, Fast Drying Cladding Finish can be used in conjunction with Crown Trade Protective Coatings High Build Rust Inhibiting Metal Primer to protect the bare, exposed metal from corrosion.
"The High Build Rust Inhibiting Metal Primer provides the perfect foundation for the Fast Drying Cladding Finish as a complete system.
"The products are also applied under a straightforward process, using conventional brushes, rollers or spray equipment, with no special application techniques or tools required."
A brochure showing the benefits of the Crown Trade Fast Drying Cladding System is available for specifiers. For more details please contact the Crown Trade Customer Relations Team by calling 0845 389 9583, emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the website at www.crowntrade.co.uk

TiO2 (110) theory
The task of fully characterizing transition metal oxide surfaces is complicated substantially by the ability of many of these compounds to accommodate high degrees of nonstoichiometry. As a result, a large variety of stable or metastable surface structures, many with large unit cells and low symmetry, have been observed.
15 nm x 22 nm
6.5 nm x 9.0 nm
G. S. Rohrer, V. Henrich, D. A. Bonnell Science 250 (1991).
Oxides Adopt Complex Surface Structures
Reconstruction or Surface Stabilized Phases!!!
Constant current STM images of crystallographic shear structures on Ti02 (110)
Constant current STM imaging of the stabilization of Ruddleson Popper Phases on SrTiO3 (100
One successful approach to the interpretation of images of TiO2 (110) is the use of first principles pseudo-potential calculations of spatially resolved surface electronic structure of states relevant to tunneling. However, the ability to perform first principle calculations is often removed from the experimentalist and the formidable cost and slow running time of such calculations make them impractical as a tool for in-situ image interpretation of complex surfaces.
The approach shown here makes use of first principles results for ideal or unreconstructed surfaces to develop a basis that is then extended to the much larger number of relatively complex reconstructed surfaces. Since Hamiltonian diagonalizations are avoided for all reconstructions, it extends the applicability of image simulation techniques to arbitrarily complex surfaces. This method is applied to the case of TiO2(110) 2x3 for which several atomic structures can be invoked to explain STM image contrast.

Don't Know, Don't Kill: Moral Ignorance, Culpability, and Caution
Alexander A. Guerrero
University of Pennsylvania - Department of Philosophy; University of Pennsylvania - Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy
August 25, 2007
Philosophical Studies, Vol. 136, No. 1, pp. 59-97, 2007
This paper takes on several distinct but related tasks. First, I present and discuss what I will call the ''Ignorance Thesis,'' which states that whenever an agent acts from ignorance, whether factual or moral, she is culpable for the act only if she is culpable for the ignorance from which she acts. Second, I offer a counterexample to the Ignorance Thesis, an example that applies most directly to the part I call the ''Moral Ignorance Thesis.'' Third, I argue for a principle – Don't Know, Don't Kill – that supports the view that the purported counterexample actually is a counterexample. Finally, I suggest that my arguments in this direction can supply a novel sort of argument against many instances of killing and eating certain sorts of animals.

A self proclaimed "non-techie", Arindam Sen has wrote a comprehensive review of Kubuntu 13.10 'Saucy Salamander'! It's always interesting to hear the perspective of everyday end users. Digging from the archives, the original motivation for KDE back in 1996 was "A GUI for endusers" – someone who wants to surf the web and use their computer. Read the original KDE announcement if you're interested. Back to the review, Arindam reviewed Kubuntu 13.10 on a Asus K54C laptop with modest laptop specs.
Except for that dual monitor piece, Kubuntu recognized my laptop's hardware correctly. Sound played well, screen resolution was excellent and Wifi and LAN worked properly. Touch pad was recognized appropriately with single and double tap and vertical scroll working right from the live boot.
It's great to hear about compatibility working nearly perfectly. Over the past few years, countless contributors have worked to make Kubuntu and other distros something that works with as wide range of hardware as possible, creating a "it just works" experience for end users.
Arindam also mentioned the customization provided by the KDE desktop environment, which is powerful, intuitive and flexible to adjust to your needs.
