Strange place, unwelcoming environment, staff openly put down colleagues to patients, doctors want you out of surgery before you get chance to speak, the doctor doesn't listen talks over you before they know what you have come in for you are out the door.
Horrid Practice will be registering elsewhere and would suggest others do the same.

I connected this to a set of Rage cross bars. I took a couple snowboards on a ~150mi journey without any issues. It has a nice upper and lower rubber contact point to ensure it holds the snowboards without damaging them. I'm definitely glad I purchased this.

Quality product, fast shipping, installed in about 30 min with all the tools included. Only "problem" is the racks pictured are all black, while the actual racks are that Yakima dark silver color on the moveable part and the base is black. If you're OK with that color scheme, you will be really happy

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. JAMES
N. SULLIVAN, Judge, presiding. Order reversed and cause remanded
with directions.
On September 20, 1966, Raymond J. Kuhn was arrested and charged with driving a motor vehicle with a load 6,660 pounds in excess of the maximum allowable under the provisions of Ill Rev Stats 1965, c 95 1/2, § 228. On that day he executed a bail bond and was released from custody. The case was postponed from time to time by judges hearing non-jury cases. On March 1, 1967, the defendant said he wanted a trial by jury. The case was set for March 7, 1967. Thereafter the case was continued by order of court or on motion of the People until July 26, 1967, when the defendant moved for discharge under the provisions of Ill Rev Stats 1965, c 38, § 103-5. Defendant asserted that 120 days or more had elapsed since he filed his "demand for trial." On July 26, 1967, the court sustained defendant's motion to dismiss and discharged him. The People appealed. The defendant has not appeared or filed a brief.
We are of the opinion that the People are right in their position that the defendant's indication that he would not waive a jury trial did not constitute a demand for an immediate trial and that as he was at liberty on bond at all times subsequent to his arrest, he was not entitled to be discharged. The State's Attorney relies on People v. Baskin, 38 Ill.2d 141, 230 N.E.2d 208. In Baskin the defendant appealed, complaining that his constitutional right to a speedy trial had been violated. The court said at page 145, "In the present case the defendant was at liberty on bond at all times subsequent to the filing of the complaint. The original request for a jury trial cannot be considered as a demand for immediate trial, but only a demand that when trial was held it would be before a jury." It was incumbent upon the defendant to make a demand for trial in order to avail himself of his statutory right to a speedy trial. No such demand appears in the record. Therefore the order dismissing the complaint and discharging the defendant is reversed and the cause is remanded with directions that it be reinstated and for further proceedings.
Order reversed and cause remanded with directions.

Community's 'Men of Honour' celebrated
What do you regret the most knowing that you are going to die?
Posing the question to his best friend just before he succumbed to cancer at age 30, the response changed Ricardo McRae's life.
"He was a musician and he told me that not finishing his jazz album so that it could be left as a legacy for his then six-year-old son was his biggest regret," McRae told Share. "Music was his passion and he wanted to leave something for his boy to play when he missed his dad. That struck a chord with me."
McRae quit his full-time account executive job that provided a six-figure salary to pursue his passion for the creative arts.
"That freaked everybody out, including my mother," he said. "I knew I am going to die one day, but I want my life to be about something that I am passionate about."
With a fine arts and business background, McRae partnered with his wife, Gloria, to start Wedge 15 which is a boutique web design and social strategy agency and started Who's Who in Black Canada.com that's a national platform profiling Black excellence in Canada.
"There is an abundance of success in the Black community," said McRae who graduated from the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) and the University of Windsor. "Not only does this overwhelming talent shape the way we think of ourselves as we see more and more success, but it shapes the way the broader community sees us."
Graduating from Woodbrook Government Secondary School in west Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, McRae came to Canada in 1986 and was forced to repeat Grade 12 before entering OCAD. After graduating from the University of Windsor where he organized Black Homecoming events in 1995 and 1996 for students to support each other and celebrate being in school, he returned to the Greater Toronto Area.
"My intention at the time was to go into business because I didn't want to be a starving artist," said McRae who is a Huffington Post's live commentator. "I did that for about six years before changing course after hearing my dying friend's regret."
McRae, whose blog – HookMeUpRico – has about 6,000 long-time members, was among 11 recipients of Black Business & Professional Association Men of Honour Awards presented last week at the Toronto Board of Trade.
The fourth annual event celebrates African-Canadian male leaders and trailblazers.
"To be recognized by your community is one of the most precious recognitions one can receive," said McRae. "I was speechless when I was informed of the honour and I am still in disbelief about this because I don't do work for rewards like this."
Community worker and youth leader Victor Beausoleil was also humbled by the recognition.
"This is something that will inspire me to continue to make my family and my community proud," he said.
Beausoleil started volunteering 14 years ago in his Scarborough neighbourhood. He was a youth engagement coordinator at Tropicana Community Services Organization and youth coordinator of Dorset Park Youth Council, which received money through the Youth Challenge Fund to establish a sports pad – comprising a basketball court, cricket pitch and youth lounge – to help develop youth organization strategies and youth-based solutions at McGregor Park Recreation Centre.
The married father of four children is the executive director of Redemption Reintegration Services that help incarcerated young people successfully reintegrate into society.
Two years ago, he was unsuccessful in his bid to become a trustee in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Don Valley East riding which was left vacant when Michael Coteau was elected the riding's new Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP).
Other awardees included creative writer and playwright Karl Hutchinson whose latest production, Noah, will be presented at the Fairview Library Theatre on April 19 and the Ontario Science Centre eight days later; Toronto Argonauts defensive back and Right to Play ambassador Jonathan Hood who graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a Master's in sports psychology and started the "Ahead of the Game" mentorship program three years ago; Black Action Defence Committee founding member Hewitt "Logie" Loague; TD bank senior manager Ellis Perryman who is the Urban Financial Services Coalition's Toronto chapter president; Canada Basketball assistant general manager Rowan Barrett; entrepreneur Guy Steer; dentist and art collector/curator Dr. Kenneth Montague; radio personality Matt Galloway and Carpenters Local 27 trustee Chris Williams.
"When I started out as an apprentice 25 years ago, I met Mike York (Local 27 president) on the site and he encouraged me to attend union meetings," said Williams who was a Toronto Police auxiliary member for two years. "I did and he urged me to volunteer and become involved in union activities."
A former construction site supervisor and apprenticeship instructor, Williams is one of the Carpenters' District Council of Ontario representatives for Scarborough, Markham, Stoufville, Ajax and Pickering.
"My tasks now involve resolving labour-related issues between management and workers on the job site or at the Ontario Labour Relations Board, organizing non-union companies and negotiating collective agreements," he added.
As part of this year's recognition ceremony, Crawford Adventist Academy boys were matched up with the Men of Honour.
"This is an amazing opportunity for us to put them with a role model," said BBPA member Karlyn Percil. "We wanted to make that connection to show them not only what they can be but that they can be part of the process as well."
Grade 12 student Tyron Burton, who was matched with McRae, relished the opportunity.
"It's quite an occasion and I learned a lot in a short time from the experience," said Burton who wants to become an automotive engineer.
Terrell Francis, who is in Grade 12, and Zephanaul Rambissoon, who aspires to be a nurse or video game programmer, were excited to be part of the ceremony.
"Meeting individuals from our community who have done well for themselves certainly is an inspiration for me," said Rambissoon."

The EU's Role in Fighting Global Imbalances
Edited by Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt, Moa Mårtensson, Lars Oxelheim and Thomas Persson
Chapter 1: The EU and global imbalances
Antonina Bakardjieva Engelbrekt, Moa Mårtensson, Lars Oxelheim and Thomas Persson
When the Treaty of Maastricht took effect on 1 November 1993, it established a Common Foreign and Security Policy for the European Union (EU). The fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War had opened up new prospects for a uniting Europe to play a more important role in world affairs. With its economic strength and its core values of democracy and human rights, the EU has sought since then to promote peace and free trade, both in its immediate neighbourhood and in the rest of the world. With the adoption of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009, the Union sought to strengthen its role in the international arena, among other things by creating the new position of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (see Chapter 2, this volume). The High Representative would be assisted in turn by a new foreign service, the European External Action Service (EEAS). After several years of serious economic crisis, however, the Union now faces a number of vital challenges in the world arena. Can the Union still be a constructive force in world politics? And if so, how ought it to proceed?

The CEO of Grubhub maligned President-elect Donald Trump by claiming that his "politics" are "hateful," in a statement to employees making it clear that if they don't agree with his statement, they should resign.
Fox News reported:
The CEO of Grubhub, an online food delivery service, sent a company wide email Wednesday suggesting employees who agree with President-elect Donald Trump's behaviors and his campaign rhetoric should resign.
"If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here," wrote Matt Maloney, Co-Founder of Grubhub. "We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team."

Maloney referenced Hillary Clinton's call for supporters to keep an "open mind" in regard to Trump's presidency, but then he went on to make it clear that he believes being closed-minded and intolerant is fighting for what's right.
No, that's called bigotry, and it this case could also be illegal… Just because the woman you supported has gotten away with her crimes — for now — that doesn't mean you get to play by the same rules.
In a press release, Maloney claimed that he did not call for Trump supporters to resign and that he would "never make such a demand." He claimed that his email had "been misconstrued" which is what liberals always say when they're caught.
GrubHub does not tolerate hate and we are proud of all our employees, regardless what you may have read. https://t.co/jF6oG6hg6M
— Matt Maloney (@M3aloney) November 11, 2016
He posted the full email, which Fox News also posted. Nothing was "misconstrued" here. The email made it clear that he defined Trump's politics as "hateful." He then went on to say that "If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here," and that "We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team."
Maloney absolutely called for Trump supporters to resign from his business. He may not have said specifically "Trump supporters must resign," but it doesn't take much reading comprehension to connect the dots, and I bet plenty of lawyers won't have any trouble with it at all…

SherriAnn's Magic
Martha C - Dec 8, 2016
I've been a client for about 2 months. SherriAnn has already done wonders for my hair. Color is amazing, texture is beautiful, and her styling is astoundingly gorgeous. Her work is such a great confidence builder. Thank you SherriAnn.
Professional, relaxing pedicure
Angela Kidd - Dec 4, 2016
I was very impressed and extremely satisfied with Delane's. My fiance had a pedicure the day before I did, he appreciated the salon and Keyana's skill in manicuring his feet and massaging his legs. I was equally satisfied the next day with pedicure by Myeisha. She was friendly, informative and did an excellent job. The salon is clean, comfortable, relaxing and serene. No chemical aromas or noisy chatter. I look forward to returning for repeat service.
Great experience!
Barbara V - Dec 3, 2016
I'm a senior, a do-it-yourselfer whose "beauty shop" experience means only an occasional haircut. But my feet were needing help, and after reading about Delane's on my neighborhood website, I decided to try it. I am hooked. My feet feel wonderful, and it was one of the pleasantest hours I have spent in ages. I will definitely make a pedicure at Delane's part of my routine from now on.
My first manicure and pedicure!
Emily Sparks - Nov 18, 2016
I would be happy to recommend Delane's to everybody I know! It was a very pleasant two hours I spent there in the company of a most impressive and interesting woman, Delane herself. I wish some fine local journalist would interview her and write a big article for the newspaper about her, her work and her life, so more people like me can know and appreciate her story.

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.R.W., DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
On appeal from Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Hudson County, Ind. No. 97-12-1897.
Submitted February 6, 2007
Before Judges Weissbard and Lihotz.
Defendant R.W. appeals from the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief (PCR), alleging that he had been denied the effective assistance of counsel. We affirm.
Defendant was convicted of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2a, (count one), second-degree sexual assault, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2c (count three), second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4a, (count five), and fourth-degree child abuse, N.J.S.A. 9:6-1 and N.J.S.A. 9:6-3 (count six),*fn1 following a second jury trial, after his 1999 judgment of conviction on the same indictment was reversed on appeal. On September 29, 2001, the trial court imposed sentence of fifteen years incarceration on the first-degree aggravated sexual assault conviction, and a concurrent sentence of seven years incarceration on the second-degree endangering conviction. The other convictions were merged. Defendant's conviction and sentence were affirmed by us in an unpublished opinion. Certification was denied.
The basic facts supporting conviction were that from approximately April 1995 to April 1997, defendant assisted his aunt in the care and discipline of her three minor adopted children: R.G., who, was age twelve in April 1995, and her two younger siblings. On the pretense that he was taking R.G. to the store, defendant, instead, took the child to his home to engage in sexual intercourse. On other occasions, when defendant took all the children to his home, he accompanied R.G. upstairs while the other children played in the basement. R.G. disclosed to her guardian, Ms. W., that defendant had been raping her.
Defendant's PCR application to the Law Division presented three bases for relief: (1) counsel did not introduce defendant's work records for the period 1995 to 1997, to prove he worked in New York City each weekday evening, rebutting the allegations that sexual assaults occurred when he took R.G. to his home after school; (2) counsel did not present character witnesses at trial to bolster defendant's credibility; and (3) counsel failed to present fact witnesses to verify the longstanding feud between defendant and Ms. W., which would explain why false claims were made against him. In addition to the claims against trial counsel, defendant asserted that appellate counsel was ineffective to the extent that the issues should have been raised on appeal and were not.
Defendant has chosen not to appeal the denial of relief based upon the failure to introduce his work records, so we will not discuss this issue further. Regarding the second assertion, defendant claimed that counsel failed to call witnesses to testify regarding his reputation for truthfulness and veracity despite being provided with a witness list. Defendant argued that he had no prior criminal convictions, and the investigation reports obtained after interviewing the proposed witnesses in support of the PCR petition revealed the witnesses were favorably disposed to discuss his good character. Since credibility was an issue, he maintained that the witnesses should have been presented. Finally, evidence that defendant had a previous disagreement with Ms. W., who was his aunt, over insurance proceeds paid after the death of defendant's father, who was also Ms. W.'s brother, was presented in the first trial, and also should have been presented during retrial.
The State argued that each of these decisions fell within the bounds of trial strategy. More specifically, the State contended that the character witnesses could not testify as to a trait pertinent to the charged offense, so it was reasonable that none were called. The dispute between Ms. W. and defendant was raised in the first trial resulting in extensive cross-examination aimed at deteriorating defendant's credibility. The first trial ended in defendant's conviction, making it a strategic decision not to present the evidence in the second trial.
The motion judge determined that an evidentiary hearing was necessary only on the issue involving character witnesses because the record did not reveal the reasons for the decision not to call such witnesses. In reviewing the arguments regarding Ms. W.'s illwill, the trial judge stated:
[S]uffice it to say, that nothing prohibited the [d]efendant, who testified at trial from introducing those facts.
In fact, the prosecutor asked the [d]efendant the following question regarding possible motivations the victim may have had to lie. . . .
["]Question: Can you tell this jury . . . if you have any idea why she . . . would do that, other than the fact that you did those things to her? . . .["]
[Defendant:] "It could be because of the discipline."
The [d]efendant[,] therefore had every opportunity to introduce the complained of testimony himself, and chose not to do so. I say chose because it's abundantly clear that he was fully aware of the facts. In fact, at the first trial, he also testified and he did provide that same evidence as his claimed motive for the victim to lie to the jury that convicted him at the first trial.
It was not [c]counsel's failure to ask the question relative to [Ms. W.] that deprived the jury of that evidence. It was the [d]efendant's failure to supply it.
Counsel's performance was not deficient in this regard, nor can the [d]efendant claim prejudice based upon his own failure to provide the evidence in response to an appropriate question. He apparently changed his mind between the first and second trials as to the victim's alleged motivation to lie.
During the evidentiary hearing on the issue of introduction of character evidence, defendant's trial counsel testified that he reviewed the testimony of the two character witnesses who were called in the first trial, one of whom was a minister. The minister was in ill-health at the time of the second trial and not available. The testimony of the other witness had been determined, by counsel, to be unhelpful. Counsel testified he was not presented with any other character witnesses.
Defendant testified he had presented a list of character witnesses to trial counsel. Defendant acknowledged that two witnesses on the character witness list he prepared were actually listed as fact witnesses and were not called at trial. Defendant stated that counsel rebuffed his suggestions and said he would make the decisions as to which witnesses to call. When defendant spoke to his attorney during a hallway meeting after he had testified, he asked whether counsel was calling the anticipated character witnesses. Counsel allegedly stated it was "too late" to call character witnesses.
The trial court ruled that counsel was credible and made a reasoned decision not to call the two listed witnesses because their testimony would not aid the defense. The court believed the attorney's assertion that no additional character witnesses were offered by defendant. The motion judge concluded defendant's trial counsel was not deficient in his representation and that, in the court's assessment, the impact of the proposed witnesses would have not altered the trial result. The motion judge stated: "[T]here was a previous trial and character evidence was introduced and the outcome was the same. . . . The evidence offered by the State was the same at both trials and character evidence was insufficient to overcome it at a previous trial."
In his appeal, defendant presents two assertions. First, that the trial court erred in denying his request for an evidentiary hearing on the claim that defense counsel was ineffective for not presenting evidence of the discord between Ms. W. and defendant and second, that the trial court erred in denying defendant's petition asserting counsel's failure to call character witnesses to support his credibility, as allowed by N.J.R.E. 404(a)(1) and 608.
To establish an ineffective assistance of counsel claim, a defendant must satisfy the two-pronged test formulated in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 2064, 80 L.Ed. 2d 674, 693 (1984), and United States v. Cronic, 466 U.S. 648, 657-58, 104 S.Ct. 2039, 2046-47, 80 L.Ed. 2d 657, 667-68 (1984), which the Supreme Court of New Jersey adopted in State v. Fritz, 105 N.J. 42, 58 (1987). To prevail on a showing of ineffective assistance of counsel, defendant must prove both deficient performance of counsel and a "reasonable probability" that such performance affected the outcome. Fritz, 105 N.J. at 58. Under that test, defendant must specifically demonstrate "'that counsel made errors so serious that counsel was not functioning as the 'counsel' guaranteed . . . by the Sixth Amendment.'" Id. at 52 (quoting Strickland, supra, 466 U.S. at 687, 104 S.Ct. at 2064, 80 L.Ed. 2d at 693).
In evaluating defendant's claim, the court "must judge the reasonableness of counsel's challenged conduct on the facts of the particular case, viewed as of the time of counsel's conduct." Strickland, supra, at 690, 104 S.Ct. at 2066, 80 L.Ed. 2d at 694. Judicial scrutiny must be "highly deferential," and we must make every effort to "eliminate the distorting effects of hindsight," Id. at 689, 104 S.Ct. at 2065, 80 L.Ed. 2d at 694, as there is "a strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance." Ibid. To rebut that strong presumption, a defendant must establish that trial counsel's actions did not equate to "sound trial strategy." Ibid.
We determine no error in the motion judge's exercise of discretion to decline an evidentiary hearing regarding the Ms. W. dispute. Evidentiary hearings on PCR petitions are neither mandated, see R. 3:22-10, nor necessary to fully and properly evaluate each issue for relief asserted. See State v. Marshall, 148 N.J. 89, 157-58, cert. denied, 522 U.S. 850, 118 S.Ct. 140, 139 L.Ed. 2d 88 (1997); State v. Russo, 333 N.J. Super. 119, 138 (App. Div. 2000). The opportunity to introduce Ms. W.'s illmotive was presented during defendant's testimony. He chose not to do so. Defendant's PCR petition offers no other proposed witness or evidence on this issue. Thus, defendant fails to establish a prima facie case demonstrating a reasonable likelihood that his claim would ultimately succeed on the merits, see Marshall, supra, 148 N.J. at 158, particularly when considering the fact that the first trial ended in a conviction when this evidence was introduced.
As to the issue of failure to present character evidence, defendant suggests that "counsel's decision not to call character witnesses was tantamount to trial counsel not calling alibi witnesses in a case where the [defendant] has provided the trial counsel with an alibi." We reject that notion. Presentation of witnesses to attest to defendant's reputation for honesty is not equivalent to witnesses supporting an alibi defense. In this matter, the proposed witnesses offered no exculpatory evidence as to the charged offenses; they only attested to their knowledge of defendant's honesty.
A defendant's "bald assertions" that counsel was ineffective will not sufficiently satisfy defendant's burden.
To properly assess trial counsel's decision not to call character witnesses, an examination of the totality of counsel's performance in the context of the State's evidence of defendant's guilt is required. See Marshall, supra, 123 N.J. at 165. The record confirms that counsel had successfully sought a reversal of defendant's first conviction and was intimately familiar with the testimony presented in the first trial. The character evidence used in the first trial proved unpersuasive in supporting defendant's credibility over that of the State's witnesses. Counsel chose not to call the two listed witnesses, who defendant alleges were character witnesses, because their weak testimony would not successfully advance defendant's theory of the case and, possibly, could cause more harm than good.
We determine the quality of counsel's performance in the second trial was not ineffective and the trial decisions made, including the decisions defendant now challenges, did not deprive defendant of a fair trial. See State v. Castagna, 187 N.J. 293, 314-15 (2006); State v. Buonadonna, 122 N.J. 22, 42 (1991). Defendant's objection to the strategic decisions made by counsel not to pursue this evidence does not satisfy the Strickland/Fritz test. See State v. Coruzzi, 189 N.J. Super. 273, 319-20 (App. Div.), certif. denied, 94 N.J. 531 (1983) (stating that an otherwise valid conviction will not be overturned merely because the defendant is dissatisfied with counsel's exercise of judgment during the trial). Our review of the record leads us to conclude that the judge's determination to deny post-conviction relief was based on substantial credible evidence and should be affirmed. State v. Locurto, 157 N.J. 463, 470-71 (1999).

Breast Cancer Vaccine Promising
A vaccine for breast cancer? It's true, researchers from the Cleveland Clinic are testing a breast cancer vaccine that purportedly helps the immune system attack a specific protein found in most breast cancer cells and the breast tissue of lactating women.
In the first set of tests, researchers injected mice that had been specifically bred to develop breast cancer with the vaccine. None of the mice developed breast cancer.
Simultaneously, the researchers injected an equal number of breast cancer prone mice with a placebo;all of the mice eventually developed tumors.
Fox News quoted Dr. Vincent Tuohy, the lead in the research, as saying, "If it works in humans the way it works in mice, this will be monumental," he said.
He went on to say, "We could eliminate breast cancer. We believe that this vaccine will someday be used to prevent breast cancer in adult women the same way that vaccines have prevented many childhood diseases."
Should the vaccine become available, women over forty, the age when breast cancer risk increases, could potentially be immunized against the disease.
In December of 2008, Merck and Co. obtained permission from the FDA to market Garasil, a vaccine that can prevent cervical cancer by targeting the human papillomavirus, which causes 70% of all cervical cancers in women.

Nearly 170 years ago, more than a quarter of a million people marched to Kersal Moor, in Salford, demanding democracy. One of the biggest of the many demonstrations organised by the Chartist movement in the mid-19th century, this huge rally was the Live Aid of its day, with more than 30 bands playing. But instead of Bob Geldof demanding 'Give us yer fuckin' money', there was Feargus O'Connor demanding 'Give us the fuckin' vote'.
After much campaigning and demonstrating, five of the six points of the People's Charter, adopted on Kersal Moor that day, were eventually won. As well as the right to vote itself, these were: secret ballots, equal electoral districts, no property qualification to stand as an MP and payment for MPs. The exception to this successful record was the demand for annual parliaments, which was seen by the Chartists as crucial to stop the corruption of MPs.
Fast-forward to 2007 and the eyes of the democracy movement are on Salford again - in the person of Salford MP Hazel Blears, secretary of state for communities and local government. Blears - backed by Prime Minister Gordon Brown's new-found emphasis on devolving 'power to the people' - isn't offering annual parliaments, but she is using a radical democratic rhetoric. 'Democracy should be about more than casting a vote every few years,' she has said. 'It should be a daily activity, not an abstract theory.'
Blears' comments were, in part a reaction to the Joseph Rowntree Trust's independent Power Inquiry in 2006, which basically said that local representative democracy was knackered - that fewer people are voting and thus elected councillors have lost credibility and legitimacy. The new 'Hazelocracy' promises 'devolution right to the doorstep', where 'people come together, set priorities and vote on what is going to happen' and 'have a direct say' in how their taxes are spent. The idea, taken from the practice of popular budget making in Latin America, was adapted in 2002 by Church Action on Poverty and Community Pride working with the council to make Salford a pilot project. So is it time for the modern heirs of Chartism to bathe in the warm glow of democracy and declare 'battle won'?
The answer, of course, is no. For a start, there's a major difference between the UK and Latin America, where they know a thing or two about dictatorship, death squads, absolute poverty and the imposition of western 'democracy'. In the Brazilian town of Porto Alegre, inspiration for the original Salford experiment, the right to decide how local public money is spent was demanded by the people and the popular Workers' Party, which swept to power shortly after the junta was sacked in 1985. The popular budget making there was radical, political and community led. At its height, around 20,000 people participated in deciding where 18 per cent of planned municipal investment was to be spent. And it has had real results in alleviating poverty.
Contrast this with the UK, where the 'participant friendly' budgets are puny, and the numbers of people involved are tiny. In Salford, 47 people got involved in the Claremont and Weaste sample project - and that was seen as a major breakthrough. Although popular budget making (PB for short) is being greeted with cautious optimism by community organisations, no one I spoke to in Blears' Salford constituency was under any illusions that real power was arriving on their 'doorstep'.
'I'd like to see it in practice,' says Graham Cooper, who's just been elected chair of the East Salford Community Committee. 'But I think it's a token gesture - like feeding a dog and patting it on the head just to keep it right.'
His thoughts are echoed by Beryl Patten of the Claremont Community Association, who welcomes the potential of PB but greets it with a massive dose of Salfordian cynicism. 'One always comes away from the meetings questioning the real importance of our decisions,' she says. 'Major issues in the neighbourhood, like Media City [a 200 acre dockland development at Salford Quays], have never been aired in any significant way. We are scratching at the surface. It's not real empowerment and sooner or later the community will become disaffected.'
Both Patten and Cooper point to the relatively tiny budget that the community actually controls. Salford leads the country in putting money from the mainstream council budget into a PB process but it's still only around £100,000 per area from the highways kitty and £100,000 to support community and voluntary groups. Each area covers around 30,000 households, so that's the equivalent of less than £7 apiece.
'A hundred thousand pounds might seem a lot of money but when you realise it might just resurface a short road or put in a couple of pedestrian crossings it brings it home how minor your involvement and impact can be,' Patten argues, 'Cynics would say it's a way of getting communities to slug it out between themselves and take the heat off the planners.'
'It's a very limited amount of money, a drop in the ocean,' says Graham Cooper. To put it into some sort of perspective, the council agreed to spend £500,000 on a jolly at Salford Quays for the Manchester International Festival, which is five times as much as we get in devolved budget for every voluntary and community group in this area. And I've seen public sector departments like schools, leisure and the police apply for money from both these pots for activities that, to me, are mainstream services. At the end of the day the council makes the big decisions.'
Council Control
And that's the big problem with PB - that the council, rather than the community, is controlling the whole process locally, while government targets and policies are controlling the council on a national level. The government calls it 'double devolution', where, in theory, the power bounces down to the council and then bounces off the council to the community. The trouble in Salford is that the community can only make decisions while caged in complicated structures and tamed by procedures.
Before Hazel Blears announced her 'devolution to the doorstep', Salford Council was busily reorganising its community committee structure based on a consultation that gave prominence to developers like Countryside Properties and involved more unelected officers and organisations than actual community groups. The resulting new constitution sets out rules whereby the community can decide on the use of delegated budgets only 'within criteria set by the council', other funders and the Community Action Plan'. And only councillors and one representative from each 'properly constituted' recognised community group' can vote at meetings. Meanwhile the terms of the constitution are all about 'conduct' and 'behaviour'. Anything that is 'inconsistent with council policy' will be refused.
Spending decisions on devolved budgets will also only be valid if 'supported by the majority of councillors present at the meeting' because 'expenditure of public money requires the endorsement of democratically elected members'. These will be the same councillors, however, who are at the centre of the Power Inquiry's 'crisis of democracy', who have little credibility or legitimacy within the community. Wasn't that supposed to be why PB was set up in the first place?
Star rating
At the Salford Star (www.salfordstar.com), a community-centred magazine that has been not just criticising the council but slating it over affordable housing, demolitions and dodgy dealings, we thought we'd put 'people power' to the test. We applied to all of the city's eight community committees for devolved budget funding. Would the council allow the community to fund a community magazine, run by a local community group, that's critical of the council? Our application never got anywhere near a community committee.
The council pulled the application without explanation two days before it was due to be looked at by the first community budget panel. Six weeks later we got a letter outlining the council's agreed new criteria 'in relation to the spending of devolved budgets on publications', and informing us that the 'council directorate' now decided whether an application 'complies'. The Salford Star didn't.
A letter later arrived from the council explaining that the magazine contained language 'which could be considered to be offensive' (we had called the council 'dickheads' - in context of course) but the main reason for the rejection of its funding application was that 'we have not found the Salford Star to meet the criteria of taking a balanced approach'. As such, the letter continued, 'the council is not able to offer funding'. The point is that under the principles of participatory budget making we didn't apply to the council, we applied to the community. But the community was not allowed to decide. Which makes the whole notion of 'people power' look more than a little hollow.
Valerie Ivison is chair of the Claremont and Weaste community committee, which led the Salford PB pilot. She acknowledges that the scheme is a 'quantum leap' in consultation and that it's popular but argues that in order to work properly the biggest problem is effective communication with the uninvolved majority of people. Currently every publication that the council puts out or sponsors is totally uncritical and unquestioning of policy. How can the community make informed, independent choices, even within the limits set, if it hasn't got its own information and resources?
'Neighbourhood managers and community workers tread a very difficult path, but to whom are they accountable?' asks Beryl Patten. 'It seems to me that they can never be truly independent when they are tied so securely to the Council's apron strings.'
Missing minutes
In order to empower the community you also need accountability and transparency. But while the council and its regeneration partners are signing up to an array of agreements promising this, the reality is very different. For example, in May the minutes of council leader John Merry's weekly meetings with his chief executive and various other officers and councillors were removed from the council's website. These minutes relate to discussions about the most important things going on in the town hall. They have been regularly posted on the web for the past five years and were beginning to be reported in the Salford Star. Just before the minutes were removed, John Merry endorsed six 'principles in good governance', which were about 'transparent decisions' and 'making accountability real'.
You could certainly argue that despite Hazel Blears' assertion that 'the best local government is good at empowering local people ... and they're not threatened by it', the very opposite is happening. Real community empowerment in Salford, particularly, could threaten the council's (and government's) vision for a new city, where 'the heart of "Old Salford" adjoining Manchester city centre is an area of huge regeneration potential offering economic, value-for-money investment opportunities' (Branding for a brighter future in Salford council booklet).
These plans to 'actively shift perceptions of Salford' through iconic buildings and 'wow! factor' developments are usually at odds with the wishes of the old, the vulnerable, the sick, the poor and the excluded. Why on earth would any council want to give this lot the power to stop such exciting plans? The truth is that no one is giving them anything like the power that their PB counterparts have in Brazil.
While community committees are pontificating over things like zebra crossings and which scout group to support with their £200,000-maximum budgets, £340 million of public money is tied to the Salford Agreement. This is a huge contract running until 2010 between the government and the Salford Strategic Partnership (SSP), a body that draws together almost 30 organisations with all sorts of aims and objectives to make the city better.
The SSP is 'directed' by the council and, together with seven councillors, is crammed full of unelected bodies such as the Lowry, the university, the North West Development Agency, Central Salford URC and Salford Council officers. The 'people power' input comes from around half a dozen elected representatives from community committees and a couple of representatives from faith and ethnic minority groups. They amount to fewer than a quarter of those who take part in the 'partnership'. Add to this the new neighbourhood partnership boards, on which two community committee representatives are swamped by 'senior members of key partner agencies', councillors and full time officers, and a picture emerges that is the very opposite of 'devolution to the doorstep'.
Communities of interest
There was one giveaway phrase in the council's Development of Neighbourhood Management report, which dealt with all this: 'Our aim is to increase community engagement and to broaden it to include communities of interest in the city.'
'Communities of interest' include the developers and other agencies that are busy dividing up the city among themselves for maximum profit. The language is all about 'service delivery', 'co-operation' and 'partnership'. Yet hard working volunteers from the community who don't even get their phone bills paid are being swamped, sidelined and exploited by full time careerists and profit mongers on big salaries, most of whom don't even live in the area.
There is constant pressure to play the regeneration game under rules and regulations not of the community's making. As Heather Blakey comments in her independent research for the University of Bradford, Radical innovations or technical fix? Participatory budget making in Bradford: 'The new participatory space is increasingly a depoliticised space, which "privatises" overtly political voices ... The process needs to demonstrate its own potential to a mistrustful and disenfranchised public. It is hard, however to see how it will do this without being explicitly political.'
At the sharp end of participatory budget making, East Salford community committee chair Graham Cooper underlines the point: 'The idea is that we're going to have lots of say in lots of respects and when that becomes a reality maybe we'll see some real changes, but I still think it's a token gesture.'

Thursday, August 25, 2016Daniel Keller 08/25/16 11:19 AM,Courtesy of Universal Audio. If you're looking for a prime example of what Toffler wrote about in Future Shock, look no further than analog tape. In little more than a decade, the two-inch multitrack tape machine has gone from studio staple to relic rarity. And while many audio veterans wax nostalgic for that warm analog sound, few will admit to missing the work that went with it. These days, owning an analog tape machine is somewhat akin to driving… View this story

While I was very fortunate that the studio owned both the original alignment tape and tentelometer, the original (rather aged and unused) tape shed like crazy because of its storage conditions, and our inability to bake the tape before use.

Namely, CD/DVD players, along with a few analog multitrack players. Over the last 30 years, audio equipment has certainly followed the better-smaller-cheaper model of the computer industry. But like the computer market, repairs are no longer typically done at the part level.

April 24, 2013
I spent time with a company recently that identified one of their strategic initiatives for 2013 as being crowdsourcing. Are you familiar with the term? Here is Wikipedia's definition, "Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining needed services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people."This company, we'll call ACME Inc., is purposely asking their employees to contribute ideas which are then reviewed, voted on, and the winners identified and rewarded. I love it! Now to be sure this is all very new to ACME Inc., but I applaud their thinking! If employees know their ideas can make a difference and be recognized, and that actual thinking will be rewarded, then the sky is the limit on innovative thinking within a company! All too often employees think only certain bestowed titles and roles in the company are paid to think, while the rest of the brain power in the company is put on sleep mode. I am here to tell you - in the coming months, quarters and years, it's going to take all the brain power a company can muster to stay in front of the millions of competing digital disruptors as author James McQuivey calls them in his book Digital Disruption - read the WSJ review here.With cloud based SaaS (software as a service) solutions available today, even the smallest companies can use world class CRMs, ERPs, SCMs, workforce management systems, finance and payroll systems on a monthly subscription basis. This means your
competition can appear overnight, unencumbered by your overhead, legacy IT systems, debt load, unionized workforce and benefit burdens. If your company is going to be competitive in the market of the future, things need to change.I also spent time with another company this month that had completed a POC (proof of concept) with a social collaboration platform. I asked how the POC went. The answer - not much happened. There were no earth shaking discoveries or results to report. Upon further questioning, the person shared that the social collaboration platform did not include a mobile app. STOP the PRESS! No mobile app? Can you imagine Facebook or Twitter with no mobile app? They wouldn't have anywhere close to the number of users as they do today. Very few social networking users wait until they sit down and boot-up the desktop or laptop to become social. Social is about being connected anywhere and everywhere. You don't want to wait until later to update people and share your thoughts and ideas. Social is all about immediacy, and immediacy is all about mobile.*************************************************************

Forum > Mustang Discussions
68 mustang with original 351 windsor?
<< < (4/5) > >>
But, are they original? The "T" in your VIN indicates your car started out as a 6 banger.
doubt that but i dont know for sure.
Again, the "T" in your VIN says it was 6 cylinder motor from the factory.
I am sure it was a 6 banger. I doubt the axle is original. I'm guessing the car would only be good for a hot rod as opposed to original restoration....don't know if we can agree on a price though. Thanks

In 2008, the German company Messe Frankfurt organized an architectural competition for planning the redesign of the northern and southern gates leading to the exhibition center. The target was to design a guardhouse and a roof for each gate. The building owner wished the roofs to be developed as extraordinary structures with high recognition value.
The winning designer was the German architect Ingo Schrader from Berlin, who worked closely together with the German structural engineers Bollinger + Grohmann.

Product Group Tests
Application and web securityNovember 01, 2013
Products in this group are intended to control security aspects on an underlying application.
This month we examine database and web security products. These include database and web firewalls and security management tools. We looked at only six products, but they were as different from each other as could be. Each of these is strong in its own way and, as you can see from the star ratings, it was hard to pick clear winners.
There is no clear definition for the kinds of products we are looking at so when we canvassed the field we used the following criteria.
Products in this group are intended to control security aspects on an underlying application, which can be a backend program that communicates between a web application and a database, a web-based application or some other application within the enterprise perimeter, as well as offering database security beyond what is inherent within the database management product itself.
Generally, as we examined these tools, a couple of high-level patterns emerged beyond some of the interesting functionality that we found. First, we saw direct protection for web applications and databases in the form of specialized firewalls. Second, we saw security management for web applications and databases much in the same way we often see perimeter or endpoint security management. That implies that we may see convergence of these products with SIEMs in years to come. I, however, doubt that. There are lots of reasons why these products - while certainly capable of being part of a suite of other products - won't fit neatly in the same box with them.
First are the performance issues. These are products that need to look at a lot of data and require resources. Unfortunately, they are the same types of resources that other similar tools require. So keeping them on their own platform makes sense. However, there are vendors looking at the ability to share platforms, perhaps by providing their product as software rather than hardware.
Second, there are some prerequisites for some of these solutions that need unshared access by the tools. Chief among these are backend databases. Finally, these tools would make a very bad single point of failure, especially if that failure was an attack that exposed the managed/protected database or application to direct attack. If the tool shares resources, there is, arguably, an increased proclivity toward compromise than if it was an independently protected platform.
All of that said, we found some commonalities in these products worth mentioning. First, for the database products, the number and types of databases supported was fairly consistent. Unless you have something particularly exotic, you'll likely find your product supported here. Similarly, we found that the web application security management products were focused on SQL injection and cross-site scripting, arguably the two most common web/database attacks today. As well, denial-of-service attacks were fairly uniformly high on the list of protection targets. This clearly defines today's threatscape at the high end. Obviously, there are specific attacks, most frequently using malware, that fall outside of these broad categories.
Finally, we saw little difference in form factors among the offerings. Most were available as appliances, a couple had software versions and one had a virtual appliance. Perhaps this relates to our comments above, but more likely it has a lot to do with configuration. Appliances are far easier to deploy and configure than software-only offerings.
Overall, we liked what we saw and advise you to take a close look at these six products. Match carefully to your environment and be sure to get whatever help you need deploying. While these all are easy to set up and deploy in the lab, a phased deployment into production is a good idea. Not taking any action except monitoring and reading logs is the safe way to deploy against production databases and web applications. It significantly reduces the chance of breaking something during the deployment process.
