My vision of what Scotland ought to look like, independent or not, does not make any outrageous demands. Well, perhaps just this: that one day we will be represented at an international football tournament by men who don't look like they have just finished a shift in a meat-packing factory. I am optimistic, though, that the rest of them can be obtained without too much upheaval.
I simply want Scottish society to be built on the principles of social justice and to possess, at its core, a preferential option for the poor, the vulnerable and the dispossessed. The costs of pursuing this goal would be insignificant when set against the financial benefits of lifting even one in 10 of the young people whom we currently dismiss as beyond redemption by dint of their post code out of deprivation. How difficult can it be to quantify how many people from our least affluent neighbourhoods have obtained a university education in the last 20 years or a vocational course that led to a professional career?
Would it be unreasonable to set for ourselves an objective of increasing this number by 10% by 2020? Alex Salmond has already chosen this year as the deadline by which we must deliver an assortment of eye-watering climate change targets and has set aside £103m to help us do so. I'm sure there is merit in these proposals. They all seem lovely, aromatic and diaphanous and will ensure that Scotland looks clean and smells nice in all its important little places. But we ought only to be worrying about the climate once we have taken care of the poverty and inequality that attack the health of our nation much more than those recalcitrant emissions.
I also want Scotland to welcome, with arms outstretched, all the immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers that we can manage. Our nation has been blessed with a fertile and beautiful landscape, wide-open spaces and an endless coastline that, together with a small population, make this country one of the most sustainable and bountiful on the planet. To keep it to ourselves and close it off to the needy of other lands would be selfish, petty and intolerant. It would also be self-defeating because we need more immigrants to work here and to contribute taxes to help sustain our economy.
The SNP have grasped all of this more than any of their competitors. There was a motif running through their conference in Perth last weekend that suggested to neutral observers such as me that it is becoming the only party in the United Kingdom to make an unconditional commitment to social justice and real welfare. Much of this was fuelled by the crass and foolish words of the Labour leader, Johann Lamont, when she announced her cuts commission by telling us that we must stop expecting "something for nothing". Those words and the SNP's response will be far more significant, come 2014, than the introspective musings on what sort of legal advice the first minister might have taken on an independent Scotland's entry into the European Union.
There was also a little fringe event that took place just away from all the skirling and the tartan malarkey that normally takes place on a conference Saturday night. Organised by the Bridges Programmes, it sought to debate how Scotland intends to treat immigration and asylum in the 21st century. An indication of how critical this issue is to the SNP was given by the fact that Fiona Hyslop, Scotland's cabinet secretary for culture and external affairs, gave the main address and the meeting was chaired by Joan McAlpine, one of the party's rising stars. It's become clear that their party has grasped the importance of these issues to Scotland's future. For the first time in more than a century, the country's population rose this year on the back of inward migration and the nationalists have acknowledged that this will be a key mechanism in helping them reach their population targets.
The attitude to inward migration held by the government in Scotland is very different from that held by Westminster. Immigration as a reserved matter is influenced by the pressures on the south east of England and persistent assurances by the home secretaries that Britain is full up do not represent the positions in other parts of the UK, including regions in England, Northern Ireland and in Scotland as a whole. Already, the shrill and implacable voices of the myopic right in England are urging David Cameron to tighten immigration even further. For the SNP, though, this presents a clear opportunity to develop a fair and just immigration system that will draw many potential supporters to them in Scotland's main centres of population. More importantly, it will help remove from them the stigma of being inward, narrowly focused and protectionist. It will demonstrate that Scotland is a big-hearted and compassionate country that is at peace with itself and the world.
It was also significant that, just a few weeks earlier, a nationalist councillor in Glasgow, Feargal Dalton, was responsible for persuading the city to build a long overdue memorial to the Irish potato famine. Few other events in the last two centuries have made as much cultural, social and spiritual impact as An Gorta Mor on Glasgow and west central Scotland in particular. In every other city in the world where Irish immigrants settled following the famine, there is already a memorial, but this one has the potential to become something special. For it can help to heal the wounds of sectarian division that have marked part of my great city's history. For the memorial will not simply be a totem for the Irish Catholics who died in the famine, but to the Protestants who died in it too, and to the Highlanders who were also blighted by its effects.
When it is constructed, there should be no room for asking why it took so long and making empty demands for apologies. Instead, it should stand for reconciliation and a reminder of how good immigration can be for Scotland.
Comments will be turned on later this morning


text: I've been reading a lot of stuff lately about who the Giants can replace Manningham with if he leaves. The consensus seems to be that Jernigan is the number one choice, but they could draft someone else too. All these articles seem to assume that Manningham is definitely leaving. Do you think the authors know something or is it just a case of these speculative articles being a lot more interesting than articles saying things like "Manningham will probably resign"?

Furnace Problem
Concorde furnace starts, lights, runs, until temperature reaches 69degrees or 72degrees, then quits tries to relight, lights, then quits, no code displayed
Look I'm not an HVAC professional, so my time isn't worth what theirs' is, but I'll tell you this: help them to help you by giving them the tools they'll need (as a minimum) to give you an answer - instead of having them ask and waste everyone's time...things like: oil or gas? part of the world, boiler or furnace, hot air or water, old or new, serviced regularly or not, problem is new or recurring, model number, when it was installed and by who. What you've done or anything? sounds it makes if any... you get my point.
It's hard for them to peer into your basement let alone know what region you're in, so give them a break. After all, you're getting advice for a pretty good price, so do your part...:furious:

How long before you can move into your new home?
Moving Day
When can you actually take possession of your home and move into it? That depends on the terms of your contract. "Close of Escrow plus 3 days" is typical.
Can you move in the same day escrow closes? This is fine if the sellers have already moved out. Usually, though, sellers don't want to move out until they are 100% certain the escrow has closed.
For two moving vans to occupy the same driveway at exactly the same time borders on the impossible. There are easier ways to go crazy!
Why should you move in three days after escrow closes? The sellers need at least a day for moving. More importantly, your escrow has to close first, so that the sellers can collect their cash and close on their next home. This transfer of ownership usually takes three days.
After the sellers vacate, but before your movers bring your belongings into the house, check your new home carefully for damage that may have been caused by the sellers' movers. When movers are involved, accidents can happen.
This is a tricky time period. You have the opportunity to do a "final walkthrough" before escrow closes. If there's anything wrong with the house, you can stop escrow until the problem is resolved. But if you do the final walkthrough and the sellers haven't yet moved out, you may lose your opportunity for this correction. (Sometimes the sellers don't physically move until after the close of escrow, and then you'll have to depend on good faith.)
Whether you move into your home the day that escrow closes or the three days later, you start paying for utilities and homeowners insurance effective the day that escrow closes. Don't forget to coordinate phone installation and utilities a couple of weeks prior to the scheduled close of escrow.

"After many years of pain and stiffness from Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis "I feel I have finally turned a corner and now have hope for a better quality of life and certainly more energy to enjoy it.
I had severe sciatica and could not put my weight on my left leg. I also had marked degeneration of my discs. I went to see a neurosurgeon who said a fusion including 4 discs may help but came with no guarantees. Since seeing Mark the severe sciatica is no longer a problem, I have decided that at this stage, surgery is not an option for me.
I broke 3 ribs in a riding accident. The pain was so excruciating even morphine did little to help. I came to see Mark where he used the SCENAR. It made an instantaneous improvement on the first treatment, within 4 or 5 treatments I was at the stage where I was back at work full time. I didnt need to take any pain killers soon after the first treatment began.

The Nature Conservancy, working with the Martha's Vineyard Fishermen's Preservation Trust, has purchased the Island's last historic groundfish permit. The permit was held by Greg Mayhew, owner of the Unicorn.
The family of the late Edwin Newhall (Bob) Woods has gifted 500 acres of rare and unspoiled oak forest, freshwater wetlands and frost bottom in West Tisbury and Chilmark to The Nature Conservancy, the conservancy announced early this week. The gift creates permanent protection for the heart of one of the most significant natural areas on the Vineyard.
The family of the late Edwin Newhall (Bob) Woods has permanently gifted 500 acres of rare and unspoiled oak forest, grassland and frost bottom to The Nature Conservancy, the conservancy announced late Monday.
The Vineyard could see as many as 7,032 more homes on its 17,475
remaining acres of developable land, officials from the state Executive
Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA) said at an Island forum held
Thursday night.
"That's a relatively short time frame to be faced with
some tough choices," said Christian Jacqz, director of
Massachusetts Geographic Information System, in a presentation to Island
officials at the Howes House in West Tisbury.

The owners of the Apollo Theatre face an "inevitable" damages claim over the ceiling collapse which could exceed £1 million, a legal expert said today.
Up to 80 people were injured when ornate plasterwork rained down on the audience in the West End venue during a production of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.
Westminster council is investigating the cause of Thursday evening's incident amid speculation it may have been due to rain leaking through the roof of the Edwardian building.
Peter Todd, a partner at law firm Hodge Jones & Allen, said he expected a number of victims to launch a legal claim against the Apollo's owner, Nimax Theatres.
And one injured audience member, Martin Bostock, 60, said he would consider suing if others did the same. Mr Bostock, who was treated for head injuries and spent nearly £350 on tickets for him and his family, said the least he expected was not to be out of pocket following physio treatment and dry cleaning bills.
"If there was to be some sort of class action, it is something I would look at," he said. "This is the problem with going to public events held in century-old buildings — but you still don't expect to be in any danger."
Mr Todd added: "I would say it would be inevitable there will be legal action of some kind. People have been seriously injured and compensation is absolutely critical for them putting their life back together.
"If you have three or four people seriously injured pursuing a claim, it could be over a million pounds." The success of any claim would depend on whether the owner had shown "reasonable care" towards the building, he said.
Mr Bostock, who owns a PR company, said he was still experiencing the trauma of the incident: "I can still taste all the dust in my mouth now, it was horrible. Things from the ceiling were hitting us hard on the head.
"The rest of my family had the sense to put their hands up to protect themselves, I didn't and got a cut to my head." He went to the show with four family members, all of whom needed treatment for injuries.
Nimax also owns the Duchess, Garrick, Lyric, Palace and Vaudeville Theatres. A spokeswoman for the company said she could not comment on the question of possible legal action.
Last year Nimax chief executive Nica Burns claimed the venue had "suffered years of benign neglect".
She said the company had a budget of £2.45 million to restore its West End playhouses. That was funded by a £1 restoration levy on tickets at the theatres.
Speaking to Theatres Magazine, Ms Burns said: "Before we could start on the improvements, we had to address the damp. Water attacks the building from above and below."

It's a pity Pacific Blue has decided to pull out of the New Zealand domestic market because there's no doubt it's competition that ensures consumers get the best possible deal. I got a dramatic demonstration of that some years ago when I lived in Napier and the arrival of Origin Pacific saw Air New Zealand's fares suddenly drop by about a third.
That said, Pacific Blue's departure is no great surprise, because the aviation market in this small, isolated corner of the world is incredibly competitive. The airline is merely the latest in a series of entrants that have been unable to make a buck out of offering a domestic air service here.
The reason for that is easy to identify. The latest Consumer Price Index from Statistics New Zealand shows that domestic airfares are now slightly cheaper than they were back in 2005. There's not many goods or services that cost the same as they did five years ago.
During that time the cost of living generally has risen by 14.4 per cent. Airlines clearly have to pay more for fuel, aircraft and pilots than they used to.
So pricing is obviously very, very competitive.
For instance, the cheapest fare I found on the web for the 1055km flight from Auckland to Dunedin is $110 (about what it costs for the 30km taxi ride from my home in Devonport to Auckland International Airport).
If we look across the Tasman, the cheapest one-way fare I could find for a flight of almost exactly the same distance from Sydney to Gladstone - a topic close to my heart because part of my family lived in Gladstone until recently - is more than double the price at A$228 ($289).
And, by the way, the international aviation market in this part of the world is even crazier. The latest CPI figure has our international airfares around the same level as they were back in 1982. When you consider that during that time inflation has risen by 218.9 per cent that's almost unbelievable.
So will the departure of Pacific Blue mean the good times are over on domestic routes? I doubt it.
Qantas' budget arm, Jetstar, is still here, offering a bigger network than Pacific Blue ever did, and intending to add two planes to its fleet and expand even further over the next 12 months.
I've no doubt both Air NZ and Jetstar would like to put their fares up to make a bit more profit. But they'll be very nervous about creating a gap which a competitor could exploit, so any increases are likely to be minimal.
If Jetstar was to pull out as well then we would have something to worry about. But so long as there is still competition around, travellers should continue to enjoy excellent value when it comes to airfares, even without Pacific Blue.

Re: Official Indy DVD Thread
AAW had their first iPPV this weekend that everyone seems to have looked past.
* Show opened with Kevin Harvey firing up the crowd for a true wrestling show and introducing Billy Corgan. Corgan brought out the BWO and began to degrade them saying their heyday had come and gone. This brought out "The Franchise" Shane Douglas who had some words for not only Corgan but also Vince McMahon and Dixie Carter. Corgan revealed he had been put in charge for the nights show and was changing the AAW rulebook to include DQ's and count outs for the BWO's matches.
- The Awesome Threesome d. The BWO (Nova/Blue Meanie) when Jordan Mcentyre hit Meanie with Eryn's high heel.
* Promo from Silas Young who was not ipmressed with drawing Stevie Richards in the nights Main Event. He was flanked by Mason Beck who promised tonight someone was going to "f*cking die".
- Mason Beck d. Darrin Corbin to retain the AAW Heritage Title with the "Beck Mountain Bomb"
Beck looked imressive here and Corbin continues to struggle in the singles division.
* Promo from Arik Cannon and Dave Prazak. Cannon says he cost Jimmy Jacobs his title shot because he knew it would get peoples attention and he would continue to do wht he wanted when he wanted.
- Shane Hollister d. Johnny Wave, Shiima Xion and Christian Faith when he hit a brainbuster on Wave
Lots of action from the young talent of AAW in this one. Hollister comes out with the win in a match where all four men shined. Lots of "AAW" chants here.
- Arik Cannon d. Jimmy Jacobs when Dave Prazak provided extra leverage for a pinfall
Wild brawl between these two rivals that spilled all over the room. They fought to the right side balcony and Jacobs was dumped 9ft to the stage injuring his knee. Jacobs fought back vailantly but in the end it was Cannon sittign down on a sunset flip attempt and Dave Prazak providing the leverage for the win. Great fight and doubt we have seen the end of this feud.
- Zero Gravity d. Irish Airborne to retain the AAW Tag Team Titles in a Ladder Match
Crazy match here with both teams going for some wild stuff. End comes when Dave Crist is thrown off the top tothe outside through a table and CJ Esparza hits Jake Crist with a Shooting Star Elbow through a ladder that was set up between two charis allow Gakiya to grab the belts.
* Promo from Truth Martini and Keith Walker claiming Joey Eastman was not at Bourbon St and implied they had injured his leg. (Eastman does have a broken leg and missed his flight, he has not commented on the injury as of yet.) Darrin Corbin walked in the locker room and was called a loser by Walker and Martini as they laughed in his face.
- Dan Lawrence d. Jesse Emerson to retain the AAW Heavyweight Title with a roll up
The match was supposed to be non title and Emerson (who just earned his roster spot last month) complained. DL was quick to say he was a fighting champion and put the belt up. Emerson looked good here with some powerful offense but Lawrence as usual would not say die and retained with a roll up.
- Keith Walker w/ Truth Martini and CLASH w/ Mena Libra d. Chris Hall/Louis Lyndon/Marion Fontaine in a six man tag when Walker hit Lyndon with a lariat
After the match Walker and Martini were going to continue the beat down until Darrin Corbon ran in with a chair for the save.
- Michael Elgin d. Alex Shelley with a spinning powerbomb
Big reaction for SHelley in his AAW return. This was a very hard fought back and forth match with Elgin picking up his first big win in AAW.
- Silas Young d. Stevie Richards via DQ when Billy Corgan reveresed the refs decision following a Silas tap out
The fans were ready to riot when Corgan gave Silas the match. Shane Douglas came down but turned on Stevie! Mason Beck came out and was about to powerbomb Richards when the lights went out and Sabu appeared!
- Sabu d. Mason Beck in a non title match with an Arabian Face Buster through a table
Wild scene as Sabu and Beck battered each other with chair shots. Sabu shows he is still tough as nails and gets the win.
Post match Silas Young and Irish Airborne run in followed by BWO and then the entire AAW roster as the night ends with a gigantic brawl.
Thanks to everyone who came out. Another really fun evening at Bourbon St.
Show will be availble on
this coming weekend. Stay tuned for details.
Looks like a usually good show from them. Shelley/Elgin sounds awesome, interesting that they got Shelley on iPPV.

SEDECO USA was founded in November, 2005
and is the North American subsidiary of Seidensha
Electronics Co., Ltd. Our purpose is to supply
Seidensha's clients' North American branches and
subsidiary companies with localized equipment,
support, maintenance, operator training, and all
after sales services. We also aim to introduce new
North American clients to the industrial standards,
machine quality, and technical know-how that
have made Seidensha a trusted name in the
plastics industry for over forty years
SEDECO USA , Inc.
A Tradition of Excellence
Seidensha has been developing cutting
edge technology for the plastics
welding industry for over four decades
and has a staff with an array of
experience in technical application and
problem solving. By working with
SEDECO USA, Inc. our customers
can expect the same dedication and
commitment to providing real solutions
with the convenience of a localized staff
to provide day-to-day assistance.
Seidensha Electronics Co., LTD of Japan
SEIDENSHA ELECTRONICS CO., LTD was
first established as Seidensha Seisakujo in 1924,
producing and selling both cable and wireless
communication machines.
In response to the rapid development of the plastic
industry in early 1950s, Seidensha started
producing high frequency welders and high
frequency sewing machines and developing and
applying electromagnetic energy to plastic
processing. Due to their success in the plastics
market, Seidensha Electronic Co., LTD was
created in July 1956 and built a new factory in
preparation of production systems.
Seidensha publicized the world's first Ultrasonic
Plastic Welder and Ultrasonic Sewing Machine at
the Tokyo International Trade Fair in 1961. Based
on their patent No.250121, Ultrasonic Exothermic
Adhesion, they were widely used because they
could process all thermoplastic resins and were
highly productive. Seidensha followed with the
development of the Carbon Dioxide Laser as the
third energy in 1973, and developed the Electronic
Induction Welder as a new application of high
frequency energy in 1977.
In 1984, Seidensha publicized the first NC
Laser-processor, and finally established the
technology to use the three major waves,
Electromagnetic, Sound, and Optical, for plastic
processing. In 1985, they enlarged their factory
and built a new main office/factory building.
Meanwhile, they continued to exert themselves in
system and digital technology.
Along with the development of several kinds of
automatic systems and consolidated processing
systems, Seidensha developed the
Computer-Controlled Fully Automatic Metal
Chain Welding System and the
Computer-Controlled Waterproof Sheet Welder
in 1989.
In 1994, Seidensha expanded their business to
such fields as welding monitoring equipment and
image applied measuring equipment.
In 1996, Seidensha developed the
digital-ultrasonic welder, the SIGMA Series, a
machine representing the concept of the next
generation, which united their enormous
knowledge and know-how with modern sensor
and computer technology. Seidensha
accomplished innovative high quality and precise
welding machines, which had never been realized
Seidensha continued to break new ground by
developing the SONOPET 300S series of light
weight, high energy portable welders in 2003. The
300S series is a vast improvement on older,
portable welder designs and has continued to
evolve with the release of the 303S models in
2007. Seidensha has also begun mass production
of their new SIGMA 630 B units, which break
further boundaries beyond the 300S series.
We have been working as a reliable consultant and
unique manufacturer that can generally provide
welding and joining equipment and applied
processing technology for plastic materials. The
foundation of the company is based on their many
patents and accumulated know-how developed
from their research and development system and
collaborative development based on their close
relationships with public universities across Japan.
In Japan, Seidensha prides itself on the highest
productivity of plastic welding and fusing
equipment, the highest shipment of products and
the highest number of actual working machines.

but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy,

It works the same in every country.

Throughout his long and prolific career, Robert Motherwell (1915-1991) produced a remarkable body of work that ranks among the most notalbe achievements in postwar American art. In addition to being one of the most celebrated of the Abstract Expressionist painters, Motherwell was a renowned and innovative printmaker, a distinction shared by few of his New York School contemporaries.
Robert Motherwell: The Complete Prints 1940-1991 presents for the first time a definitive catalogue raisonné of this aspect of the artist's work, documenting more than 500 editions with all new research, photography, and commentary, and incorporating previously uncatalogued material. In addition, the book includes an essay on Motherwell's printmaking history, an illustrated chronology, a comprehensive bibliography and exhibition history, and concordance with past catalogues. Supplanting earlier publications as the standard reference on Motherwell's editioned work, this book is an invaluable resource for scholars, collectors, and general enthusiats of an artist who made an indelible impression on the history of twentieth-century printmaking.

On April 1, following a five year layoff, Coarsegold PTA rejuvenated the Eastern Madera County Regional Spelling Bee at Coarsegold Elementary.
The EMC Regional Spelling Bee, started in 1999 by the Coarsegold School PTA, was designed as an event aimed at giving students an opportunity to showcase their skills as wordsmiths and expert spellers all while indulging parents and community members with an opportunity to support and acknowledge schools educational excellence.
When the idea was initially evoked the goal was to send each year's regional winner to represent the area at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C.
This idea became reality and in 2008, the last year the EMC Regional Bee was held in Eastern Madera County, when 13-year-old winner Tia Thomas from Mountain Home School went on the represent the mountain area placing third at the National Bee in her specific age group.
This year's two-day regional competition hosted eight Mountain Area schools including Coarsegold, Mountain Home School, Oak Creek Intermediate, Oakhurst Elementary, Raymond-Knowles, Rivergold, Spring Valley and Wasuma with students competing in nine different grade levels from Kindergarten all the way up to Eighth grade.
According to Nancy Flynn, the contest organizer and teacher at Coarsegold, students received a list of words in December and held Classrooms Bees followed by School Bees in January to narrow to field down to the schools best spellers. The top winners from each school qualified for the Eastern Madera County Regional Bee.
Each of the contestants were separated by grades and where asked to write words down rather than spell them out in an attempt to improve and develop their spelling abilities.
"Instead of spelling the words out loud, we decided to have the students write the words. This helps expand their vocabulary, improve their spelling skills, and improve their reading and writing skills," Flynn said.
This year's regional winners include:
Kindergarten 1st: Jadyn Benak/Rivergold — winning word: why 2nd: Ella Cohlan/SpringValley 3rd: Makenzie Sconce/Wasuma
First Grade: 1st: Ken Nagata/Oakhurst Elementary — winning word: against 2nd: Lauren Rich/Mountain Home School 3rd: Orion Bolding/Wasuma
Second Grade: 1st: Hannah Marquez-Wilson/Coarsegold — winning word: weather 2nd: Gracie Noonkester/Spring Valley 3rd: Caleb Mills/Oakhurst Elementary
Third Grade: 1st: Jane Irion/Wasuma — winning word: difficult 2nd: Autumn Hogan/Raymond-Knowles 3rd: Quinn Wimer/Rivergold
Fourth Grade: 1st: Sarah Clinghan/Rivergold — winning word: chimney 2nd: Matthew Sheller/Spring Valley 3rd: Hannah Beaumont/Coarsegold
Fifth Grade: 1st: Emma Hussey/Coarsegold — winning word: disguise 2nd: Delayne McCoon/Oakhurst Elementary T3rd: Joshua Johnson/Mountain Home School Kaden Painter/Wasuma
Sixth Grade: 1st: Brittany Sultana/Coarsegold — winning word: orchestra 2nd: Synovia Wold/Spring Valley 3rd: Emma Hagen/Mountain Home School
Seventh Grade: 1st: Monique Ades/Coarsegold — winning word: propeller 2nd: Abby Williams/Oak Creek Intermediate 3rd: Ashley Tune/Wasuma
Eighth Grade: 1st: Nikki Johnson/Coarsegold — winning word: flabbergasted 2nd: Angelica Stanford/Mountain Home School 3rd: Olivia Mattos/Oak Creek Intermediate
Flynn said all in all the event went over without a hitch and the school received positive responses from everyone in attendance. Lynn hopes to see the amount of schools and participants grow in coming years.
"It is very exciting to bring back the Regional Bee. It is wonderful to have yet another venue to see our Mountain Area students shine academically and have fun....many many students are improving their spelling skills," Flynn said.

A tutor accused of being aggressive, bullying and intimidating towards students at a teachers college has been awarded almost $26,000 in an unfair dismissal case.
Heather Giles believed she was a "firm but fair" teacher at a college for early childcare teachers in Christchurch.
Her students complained she was so "unapproachable" and "rude" they were too scared to ask for help on assignments. It led to some students "breaking down in class".
A series of complaints led to disciplinary meetings and formal warnings, which led to Ms Giles' sacking in December 2009.
Now, the Employment Relations Authority (ERA) has ruled her dismissal was unjustified and has awarded her lost wages and compensation.
The ERA found that her employers, ABC Developmental Learning Centre NZ Limited, failed to put allegations to Ms Giles and give her a "fair" chance to respond.
In light of some complaints, she had written to her bosses, asking for information about the standards expected of her, but the college never replied.
"When an employee requests specifics, especially after having received a warning, there is an obligation to answer and make the rules abundantly clear," said ERA member Michael Loftus.
Several complaints were raised about Ms Giles' teaching style in 2008 and 2009.
It culminated with her being sacked on December 16, with the college's manager Andrew Walker telling her in a letter: "Your teaching style does not reflect the college's expectations and philosophy of guidance, assessment and positive interactive relationships with students."
He goes on to say her treatment of some students was "unfair, unjust and unreasonable", while students felt "bullied and intimidated" in class.
But Mr Loftus ruled that ABC failed to meet the basic requirements of a fair process.
"An employer must put its concerns, listen to any explanations and consider them with an open mind. I conclude ABC has failed to do that."
He ordered ABC to pay Ms Giles $15,965.01 for lost wages and $10,000 compensation for humiliation, loss of dignity, and injury to feelings.

The Iraq government continues its efforts to assert control over areas of southern Iraq by moving its forces into the city of Amara. The conflict between the cleric al-Sadr and the Maliki government at some point may become more violent, but for the present the Muslim cleric is biding his time before revealing what his future endeavor to gain control will entail. Iraq troops found large caches of weapons, which allegedly came from Iranian sources, but no one has been able to provide proof.
Iraq may well be witnessing a shift in tactics by al-Sadr who may decide the political arena will be the focus of his future course of action. Bush administration officials interpret the current lowering of violence as evidence of success of the surge. However, suicide bombers continue to function, and al-Qaida may well be revamping its tactics.

Q&A with Scott Johnson
Scott Johnson led Newsweek's Baghdad bureau during the Iraq War, reported on the collapse of Zimbabwe and pursued the notorious killer Joseph Kony through the jungles of central Africa. Since then he's been reporting on another place roiled by violence: the Californian city of Oakland. In The Ghost in the Cell, published by MATTER last month, Scott tells the story of an Oakland family riven by generations of trauma, and examines the science that may help explain why crime and violence persists in the environment around them.
Earlier this week we asked readers if they had any questions for Scott. Here are a selection, together with his replies. We'll post a couple more tomorrow.
From Erin Peterson: You make a case about the biology of violence and trauma through generations by sharing the compelling story of a single family. Yet the ideas you hope to illustrate through this story are — as you acknowledge — controversial. Can you talk about how you feel about balancing good storytelling and being honest about the science, especially when one side of the story has such a good narrative associated with it?
Scott: First and foremost, you have to be ethical and honest in your reporting and writing. If you're reporting a story with a heavy science component, like this one, you can't try to make the science "fit" with an irrelevant narrative.
In this case, I didn't have to worry because I was interested in the biology of transgenerational violence, and I found a family where transgenerational violence was a problem. But you also can't shy away from difficult or controversial subjects — anything having to do with the idea of inheritance, for instance, is bound to be controversial — simply because it might ruffle some feathers.
We took care not to come to any grandiose conclusions about the woman we profiled. What we did do is raise some questions and give voice to scientists who themselves hypothesized about the nature of inheritance and what the implications might be for people like Yokia Mason, the subject of our story. So, yes, it's a fine line. But I think if you keep asking yourself the questions you know your readers will also be asking, it's easy to stay both curious and intellectually honest while also doing good journalism.
Brandon Desiderio: I'm a student journalist interested in pursuing an international career. I'm especially passionate about human rights, and the goings-on in warzones — basically, your entire career. Can you share with us the more personal journey which led you to pursue such a career? What's your perspective on the ten-year anniversary of the Iraq War? What's your take on how it's being reported, highlighted? What's missing?
Scott: Well, there's a lot to say about all of this. If I may, I might suggest you read my forthcoming book. It's called "The Wolf and the Watchman," and it comes out on May 20th, though you can pre-order it now. I mention it because I go into some detail about all of these questions — how I became a journalist and why I chose to focus on conflict zones, for at least part of my career. In my case it's a rather long story, having to do in part with my father's line of work — he was a spy — and in part my own curiosity about human nature and so forth. But it's all in the book!
As for the Iraq war, I admit that the whole sorry saga is kind of disappointing. It feels sometimes almost like it didn't happen, and it certainly feels like the country has sort of forgotten about it, despite all the recent anniversary packages and so on.It's a historic event that I think most people would rather just forget about. Of course, some of that is because it was so painful for so many people and lingering on the wounds is itself difficult. But I also think it's just part of how we think about things in this country -- events consume our collective attention for a while and then, suddenly, they no longer do.
In terms of the reporting, there's plenty missing, too much in fact to go into here, but perhaps some of that will be recorded for posterity in books and longer examinations down the road. I hope so. I would hope to see more projects documenting the voices of ordinary people — Americans and Iraqis — who were affected by the war. If you haven't seen the play "Aftermath," I recommend it. I'd like to see something similar done about US vets as well.
Ghost in the Cell is available for 99c at the MATTER website and on Amazon.

The Austin Grill, which has multiple locations in and around Washington, D.C. and its suburbs, features Tex-Mex-style food and an extensive GF menu.

You can enjoy a variety of salads, soups, grilled entrees, tacos and enchiladas. Dessert choices unfortunately include only ice cream, although you can order toasted coconut or cinnamon ice creams, both unusual flavors.

Austin Grill notes that it makes every effort to avoid cross-contamination, but adds that its kitchens aren't gluten-free and so cross-contamination is always a possibility.

B.J.'s Restaurant & Brewhouse, a burgers-and-pizza-style restaurant with locations in 13 midwestern, southern and western states, launched a thin-crust gluten-free pizza in 2010.

You can top your pizza with any B.J.'s topping except for the meatballs. If you're not in the mood for pizza, you can dine on several smaller or meal-sized salads, two different soups, three types of giant stuffed potatoes or one of three different entrees.

B.J.'s also offers two different types of gluten-free cider, plus Redbridge gluten-free beer. The restaurant maintains information on other potential allergens and advises diners to tell their servers if they're eating gluten-free.

If you like fresh seafood, you'll be thrilled with the gluten-free menu at Bonefish Grill — almost all the seafood dishes are naturally gluten-free. The upscale chain, which is owned by the parent company of Outback Steakhouse and Carraba's, has locations in nearly 30 states.

It's possible to start with one of two or three appetizers or a salad, and then choose a seafood dish (topped with one of several sauces) or a steak or chicken entree.

Dessert also offers a choice: two of the three desserts on the menu are gluten-free. I normally choose the Crème Brûlée, but you also can order the flourless macadamia nut brownie with raspberry sauce.

Boston Market, a carry-out and dine-in chain with locations in 29 states, doesn't offer a full gluten-free menu; instead, it offers an extensive allergen list from which you can extrapolate what's gluten-free and what's not.

The chain's signature rotisserie chicken is gluten-free, as is the roasted turkey breast. To accompany that, you can order a variety of different side dishes — almost all of them are gluten-free except for the obvious gluten-containing items such as macaroni and cheese and stuffing.

Only one salad — the Southwest Santa Fe — and one soup — the broccoli cheese soup — are gluten-free, however, and none of the desserts is safe.

You might not think of Italian food as being particularly gluten-free friendly, but Carrabba's Italian Grill — owned by the same company as Bonefish Grill and Outback Steakhouse, with locations in 33 states — provides lots of great gluten-free options.

Start your meal with one of the two gluten-free appetizers, chicken soup (request no pasta be added) and/or a salad (ask your server to skip the croutons and to fix it in a clean bowl).

Numerous entrees are gluten-free; however, if you choose a grilled item, request it without the grill baste, and be aware that it will be cooked on the same grill as gluten-containing items. If you're very sensitive, you might be better off with an entree not cooked on the grill, so ask your server.

Chevys Fresh Mex, with 42 locations around the U.S., unveiled its new gluten-free menu in spring 2012. It's possible to order salads, fajitas, tacos, children's meals and several different desserts, as long as you carefully follow the caveats on the menu itself.

For example, if you want gluten-free tortilla chips (and Mexican food pretty much requires those!), you'll need to call ahead and ask that your chips be fried in separate oil \u0097 otherwise, they'll be fried with breaded foods and won't be safe to eat. If you order tacos made with corn tortillas, you'll need to make sure those aren't placed in the fryer, either.

Chevys notes that several grilled items are not gluten-free because they're marinated in Agua Negra sauce, which contains soy sauce. You might also want to confirm with your server that any item you order does not contain Agua Negra sauce. Ranchero sauce and green sauce don't contain gluten ingredients. In addition, anything cooked on the grill is subject to cross-contamination from flour tortillas.

At Cheeseburger in Paradise, the iconic restaurant owned by singer Jimmy Buffett, you can order a cheeseburger on a gluten-free bun with a side of gluten-free fries. The restaurant, which has locations in 16 states (including, of course, Florida), works with the Gluten Intolerance Group to develop GF menu items and prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen.

If you're not in the mood for a cheeseburger (or a hamburger), you can order one of many entree-sized salads, or potentially choose between ribs, salmon and chicken entrees.

For dessert, there's only ice cream, but you can consider a variety of non-alcoholic beverages, including a root beer float. There are also a few GF kids' menu items, including French fries.

Chili's Grill & Bar Restaurant, which has locations throughout the U.S. and in 34 other countries, has a somewhat limited gluten-free menu with lots of caveats. However, if you like Chili's food, you may find something on it you'll enjoy.

Several soups are gluten-free, and salads can be made gluten-free if you order them without tortillas and with a gluten-free dressing. Most sides are gluten-free, as are the ribs, the Southwest Grill items, burgers without buns and a couple of chicken and seafood items. Sadly, fajitas cannot be made gluten-free, and the chips and salsa are not safe either.

Chili's notes that its gluten-free menu is based on information from food suppliers, and says it can't guarantee the absence of allergens in the food.

Legal Sea Foods, with locations in 10, mainly northeastern states, understands gluten-free dining ... right down to the gluten-free croutons on its salads. The upscale restaurant offers gluten-free rolls at many locations, plus calamari fried in chick pea flour and gluten-free crumbs on the baked scrod.

You can order anything from a steak to a steamed lobster at Legal Seafood and have confidence that the restaurant understands the gluten-free diet. Most of the sides also are gluten-free, and there's even a children's menu with fish sticks, again fried in chick pea flour.

For dessert, you can enjoy Belgian chocolate mousse parfait (no sugar added), sorbet or a fruit plate.

At the Old Spaghetti Factory, which has multiple locations in 13 states, you don't need to forgo spaghetti and other pasta — the restaurants serve gluten-free pasta.

As long as you request gluten-free pasta, you can enjoy any of Old Spaghetti Factory's pasta sauces, including marinara, rich meat, clam, sauteed mushroom, Mizithra cheese and browned butter, and Alfredo sauce. You also can consider ordering baked chicken marinated in garlic and lemon juice. Several of the sides, including the Sicilian-style Italian sausage, also are gluten-free.

There's also a children's menu, mainly with child-sized portions of gluten-free pasta. Dessert (if you still have room) is limited to vanilla ice cream or spumoni.

On The Border, a Mexican grill-style restaurant owned by the same company as Chili's, features a similar menu with numerous warnings and caveats. As with Chili's, the tortilla chips are not safe, and only a handful of salads and appetizers are gluten-free.

For an entree, you can have the fajitas, but only without the flour tortillas. You can, however, order tacos, and several of the sides (including the black beans, the guacamole and the Mexican rice) are gluten-free. Several of the sauces, including the salsa, also are listed as GF. However, there are no safe desserts listed.

On The Border recommends you consult with a manager before ordering, which is always a good idea in any restaurant.

Outback Steakhouse, with hundreds of locations throughout the U.S., represents a real go-to restaurant for the gluten-free crowd, especially while traveling.

Although attention to the problem of cross-contamination can vary from location to location, for the most part Outback's staff is well-trained. Definitely talk to a manager before ordering, however, since most locations are busy at peak times, which means problems involving cross-contamination can occur.

Outback features an extensive gluten-free menu, filled with steaks, seafood, salads, sides and an excellent gluten-free dessert, the flourless Chocolate Thunder from Down Under brownie. There's also a gluten-free kids' menu, with smaller portions and a gluten-free sundae for dessert.

P.F. Chang's is another favorite go-to restaurant for those who eat gluten-free, and many gluten-free diners have had good success ordering off the chain's dedicated gluten-free menu.

The choices include a wide variety of appetizers, gluten-free egg drop soup, a noodle dish, plenty of entree options and even vegetarian options. You even can order a great dessert, P.F. Chang's excellent GF flourless chocolate dome.

All of P.F. Chang's gluten-free dishes are served on a special plate with the chain's logo so that you know you're getting a safe meal. The restaurant uses gluten-free soy sauce in its GF creations.

Ruby Tuesday has an extensive online allergen menu with multiple choices for the gluten-sensitive. However, the menu largely leaves your ultimate meal up to you — you'll need to order very carefully and ask your server to omit various portions of dishes that contain gluten.

For example, if you order Chicken Fresco, barbecued chicken or Chicken Bella, you'll need to leave off the garlic cheese biscuits along with the sauce for each dish. Some of the potential side dishes are safe, but many are not.

Each Ruby Tuesday also features an extensive salad bar with many fresh alternatives. Some of the prepared salads on the salad bar contain gluten, but many are safe — consult the menu, and beware of cross-contamination from other diners.

T.G.I. Friday's offers menus with allergen information at participating locations. Using a system of icons ("G" for gluten), you can identify dishes that contain specific allergens so that you can avoid them.

The restaurant's menu doesn't offer the gluten-sensitive many choices — just a handful of main courses, including steak and shrimp scampi, plus some basic sides, such as a salad, steamed broccoli or mashed potatoes. There are no dessert options.

The menu also includes a disclaimer noting that all foods are cooked in a shared kitchen, using shared cooking spaces. If you want to have a good gluten-free experience at T.G.I. Friday's, you should consult with a manager before ordering to make sure the kitchen understands your needs.

Ted's Montana Grill, a chain with 46 restaurants in 16 mainly eastern and midwestern states, offers an extensive gluten-free menu created by dietitians. The chain, founded by media mogul Ted Turner, serves burgers, steaks, and fish dishes.

Many of the salads and entrees are naturally gluten-free, and you can make others safe by omitting one topping (such as crispy fried onion straws). Most of the side dishes also are gluten-free. The chain does not offer GF hamburger buns, so you'll need to order your burger without the bun.

Gluten-free desserts are limited to Haagen-Dazs ice cream and shakes, plus floats made with ice cream.

Uno Chicago Grill routinely pleases gluten-free pizza lovers with its GF menu, which includes cheese, pepperoni and veggie gluten-free pizza options. But the chain, with 150 locations in 24 state plus Washington, D.C., also offers a large selection of other gluten-free foods.

When dining at Uno, you can choose from two gluten-free soups, burgers (without the bun) steak, salmon and chicken entrees, many gluten-free sides, several different salads (make certain to tell your server to omit the croutons and bread sticks, and to mix it in a clean bowl), and two different desserts, including bananas Foster.

You also can enjoy Redbridge gluten-free beer at Uno Chicago Grill, and five of their smoothies and freezer drinks also are safe.

Hiya just wondering if anyone knows of any triathlons in the eastbourne neck of the woods? or if there is a list of them anywhere? olympic distance preferably,
Many Thanks!
Hi Harry
There are an increasing number of tris in the area (I'm also in Eastbourne and am a BTF official - aka referee)
Two in Bexhill - Bexhill Lions tri in June (standard and sprint) and Bexhill Tri in August (sprint) - both sea swims
Sussex Triathlon in July - http://www.sussextriathlon.co.uk/ - held at Ashburnham Place near Battle - sprint/standard/middle distance races. lake swim
Bewl Triathlon in August - http://bewltriathlon.co.uk/bewltriathlon/index.html - Bewl reservoir near Wadhurst - sprint & standard. lake swim
Rye Triathlon in July - http://www.ryetriathlon.co.uk/ - actually at Winchelsea Beach not Rye. sprin & standard races. sea swim
South Coast Tri in July - http://www.fun2tri.co.uk/south_coast/index.htm - Seaford. sprint and standard. sea swim. long established event (my 1st tri back in 2003)
Brighton Marina Tri in September - http://www.brightonmarinatriathlon.co.uk/ - obvious location! sea swim.
Worthing Tri in July - http://www.rawenergypursuits.co.uk/rep-news/latest/worthing-triathlon/ - long established event. sea swim
there are a few others around "inland" at Crawley, East Grinstead, Ardingly etc
enough info for you there???
I will be competing in a couple of them and refereeing at others - PM me if you need any more help
Harry - I note from another thread that you're 16. so I assume you'll be 17 next year which means you can take part in standard distance events, but not longer than that until you're 19.
I'd also suggest that (assuming you aren't already a member) you join Bodyworks Tri Club in the town as they have a very active junior section and you'll get a huge amount of benefit from the club in your training

(from Hollywood Park notes)
G. Watts Humphrey Jr.'s Communique, a closing fourth in the Regret Stakes (gr. IIIT) on the Churchill Downs turf June 16, has accepted an invitation from Hollywood Park racing secretary Martin Panza to compete in the $750,000 American Oaks (gr. IT) on July 7, trainer Rusty Arnold said Friday from Kentucky.
"She's a mile-and-a-quarter horse, and you don't get many opportunities to run at a mile and a quarter for $750,000," explained Arnold of his decision to ship. "And Mr. Humphrey is a sportsman."
The Kentucky-bred daughter of Smart Strike is scheduled to be flown to Southern California Tuesday. The jockey assignment is pending. Runner-up in the Herecomesthebride Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Gulfstream Park in March, Communique has won one of six starts.
A field of nine or 10 is shaping up for the 1 1/4-mile turf test for 3-year-old fillies. Probable are Anamato (Michael Rodd) from Australia, Robe Decollete (Yosunari Iwata) from Japan, Just Little (Victor Espinoza) from France, Supposition (Rafael Bejarano) from Ireland, the Todd Pletcher-trained duo of Audacious Chloe (David Flores) and Panty Raid (Edgar Prado) from New York, Baroness Thatcher (Corey Nakatani) and Communique from Kentucky, and locally-based Honeymoon Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. IIT) winner Valbenny (Alex Solis).
Mystic Soul, third-place finisher in the Honeymoon, is considered possible. Trainer Jeff Mullins is debating between that race and the $100,000-added Flawlessly Stakes at one mile on turf next Friday night.
Supposition is scheduled to be flown in Sunday by Irish trainer Dermot Weld, who won the race with Dimitrova in 2003. The English-bred daughter of Dansili is a Juddmonte Farms homebred. She won one of four starts and finished third in the Moyglare Stud Stakes (Ire-I) last year at seven furlongs in Ireland.
Australasian Oaks (Aus-i) winner Anamato, who arrived last week, is scheduled to work on Cushion Track Saturday. Japanese Oaks (Jpn-II) winner Robe Decollete, who cleared quarantine Wednesday, exercised on Cushion Track for a second day.
Just Little, owned by Ed Gann of San Diego, won the Prix Vanteaux (fr-III) at Longchamp in April for trainer Jean-Claude Rouget. The French-bred daughter of Grand Slam is scheduled to be flown in Tuesday.
Audacious Chloe, Panty Raid and Baroness Thatcher are expected to join Communique on the Tuesday flight.

C&M Travel Salary Index: Travel Salaries Reach Six-Month High in February
C&M Recruitment Consultancy and Chisholm & Moore Executive Recruitment's Travel Salary Index – February 2014
C&M Recruitment Consultancy and Chisholm & Moore Executive Recruitment'
· Average travel salaries rise again in February
· Strong annual increase for new vacancies
· Candidate registrations also remain healthy
Salaries increase again
Average travel salaries rose again in February to reach their highest level since August 2013. The figure of £24,588 marked a 2.32 per cent increase from January and meant that wages have increased for the second consecutive month, according to the latest Travel Salary Index from C&M Recruitment Consultancy (http://www.candm.co.uk/)
However, the index saw sharp annual falls with average salaries for new travel jobs dipping by 9.97 per cent compared to February 2013 due to last year's unusually strong start.
Commenting on the figures, Barbara Kolosinska, sales director at C&M Recruitment Consultancy (http://www.candm.co.uk/
"The year has certainly got off to a positive start and we see no reason to think that the next few months will be any different."
New vacancy and candidate numbers also healthy
February also saw encouraging signs from the number of new vacancies and candidates registering at the companies in the month. There was a strong 18.83 per cent annual increase in the number of new travel jobs being created, while the number of new candidate applications dipped by just 0.56 per cent compared to the figure seen in January.
"With another annual rise in the number of travel jobs being created, this just confirms that many companies in the sector are making plans to get the best team in place for what is likely to be a busy year ahead," said Ms Kolosinska.
"We've also seen a great number of new registrations from people already in the industry looking to find new jobs in the next few months, indicating that many employees are re-entering the job market and considering their options."
All figures are drawn from the salaries of the month's new vacancies advertised with C&M Recruitment Consultancy and Chisholm & Moore Executive Recruitment.
C&M Recruitment Consultancy was established in 1998 and is the largest and most successful specialist travel recruitment company in the UK.

Green Bay Packer Cuts Hair For Charity
Green Bay Packer, A.J. Hawk has decided to lose his trademark locks. He originally grew his hair long in 2005 as a tribute to the late Pat Tillman, the former NFL player who lost his life with the U.S. Army while serving in Afghanistan. Not only has he cut his hair to help children with cancer, but he has started his own charity.A.J. and his wife, Laura, have started Hawk's Locks for Kids, a local spin-off of Wigs for Kids, which provides hairpieces for children who have lost their hair during cancer treatments.
Via his Twitter page on Friday, he announced, "Today is a special day for me as I've decided to cut off my hair and give it to someone who needs it more than I do." Here's a look at his new cut! That's a lot of hair!
A.J. continued to tweet about the organization saying;
"Thanks to wigs for kids for partnering with us,my wife and I are proud to start Hawk's locks for Kids which will be helping kids with cancer"
"No child should have to feel ashamed of themselves due to a disease."
"We are hoping to raise enough money and hair donations to change many lives!"
Hawk went on the say that donated hair must be at least 12 inches long and can be mailed to:
Hawk's Locks For Kids, 4890 Blazer Pkwy #B, Dublin, OH 43017

Buyer Beware...I must warn people about this company!
The Technician was a no-show two days in a row and when he did come, he arrived late (I should have known right then that this place was bad news). The Technician was unprofessional and did a terrible job. The carpets turned brown after the cleaning and appeared worse than before the cleaning. To make matters worse, when I called Boss Services to fix the issue, the Technician never reported work being done and pocketed my money! Boss Services dealt with the issue by actually placing me on recorded conference call (without disclosing beforehand that I would be on conference or that the line was recorded) with the Technician and wanted ME to prove he did the work. The Technician denied work was completed and seemed disgruntle on the phone. The whole situation made me as a customer very uncomfortable and feared retaliation (the technician knows where we live).
Now I am out the money I paid to the technician and have to fix the issue myself. Save your money and avoid the hassle!

Because if people keep bringing it up, the terrorists win.

I live in Stafford VA. The bees were bringing in a lot of pollen yesterday. I didn't think anything would be blooming this early. Friday was very warm (upper 70's) and I opened the inner cover and pulled a couple of frames just to see what was going on. Imagine my surprise when one of the frames contained what looked and tasted like nectar. I haven't fed anything since late last fall and there is plenty of capped sugar honey in the hives.
The pollen was a dark yellowish/tan color and their pollen baskets were full. Every other bee returning was absolutely loaded with the stuff. Any ideas about what the girls were bringing in?
