Ian Byatt, director-general of Ofwat, yesterday said the merger would reduce his information on the regulated water business and that the issue could be resolved through a separate quote.
A spokeswoman for Mr Byatt said a separate listing was likely to be a feature in all future mergers involving the 10 big water and sewage companies.
The issue was not raised earlier this year when North West Water acquired Norweb, the electricity firm operating in the same area. But Lyonnaise des Eaux of France recently agreed to list all its UK water interests by 2005 as part of the Government's clearance of its takeover of Northumbrian Water.
In a consultation document issued yesterday, Mr Byatt said: ``I would welcome comments, in particular, on the effect the merger could have on managerial effectiveness. We have also drawn attention to the fact that Swalec's stock market quotation would disappear and the characteristic of that of Welsh Water's quotation would be radically changed. This would lead to a loss of information about the way investors view the companies."
Ofwat said the bid raised similar concerns to those relating to the bid by North West Water for Norweb, but added: ``The world moves on and we would like to see this [separate listing] in all future takeovers in the industry." A spokesman for Welsh Water said the watchdog was consulting on the possibility rather than saying it would happen. ``We will respond in due course," he said.
A spokeswoman for the electricity regulator, Offer, said it was not asking for a separate listing for the core electricity operations in South Wales. But Professor Stephen Littlechild, director-general of Offer, is also concerned about loss of information and is likely to seek amendments to the operating licences to resolve the issue.
The consultation, being conducted jointly by Mr Byatt and Professor Littlechild, will result in a recommendation to the Office of Fair Trading, which in turn advises the Government on whether the bid should be referred to the Monopolies and Mergers Comission.
The document warned that the regulators at present have wide-ranging powers to acquire information from regulated companies about their regulated activities and that they need to secure continued access to sufficient high-quality information to allow them to carry out their duties.
Professor Littlechild has already produced licence modifications to achieve improved access to information. These will be formally published after further discussion with the companies concerned.

My niece named her son Remington after the artist not the gun. Remi for short. My best friend in college last name was King. He alway said he would name his son Fitfora or Joe.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
Many fine firearms are named after the inventors or manufacturer family name. So how would you know if the person was named after the firearm or after an old established common human name?
BTW, I was named after an Angel.
I've got a nephew who is a big "Lord of the Rings" fan. He named his son Stryder Vengence. Gonna be interesting when the poor kid hits school. He's either gonna be one bad dude or get his butt beat a lot! Don't have any kids or dogs named after guns, but I do have a cat named Harley.

I named my kids after heroes in the bible. I wanted to be able to tell them about their names and who they were named after.
Naming a kid after a gun just seems like something someone who doesn't like their kids would do.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
My wife wanted to name our son Harry Potter. I blame it on hormones!

My boys Walker and Texas Ranger. I know their not guns but it's funny.
Named my 1 st born son "Gunnar". And was going to name the second one, if it was a boy, "Hunter"!
I wanted the boys to have power names....
But alas, ended having a girl the second time and stopped there!
But, I always liked the name Colt.
My EX FIL's name was "Miller" after the beer.
My best friend in Jr High was "Rusty Bell".
And I worked with a guy some years later whose name was Clay House.
His brothers name was "Rocky".
Their younger sisters name was Carmel.
All true.
What have you done to prepare for the end of civilization as we know it?
A buddy at work named one of his sons Colt, after the gun. Another buddy has a daughter named Shelby after the car.
I had a beagle named Ruger when I was a kid and my brother has a lab named Magnum now.

I went to school with a couple of kids who had just plain mean parents. The family name was Thye (pronounced like thigh). The son was Harry and his sister was Ima. Actually both turned out to be pretty cool kids, but they took their share of ribbing.

From super beachy shoots to magical bohemian stories, Los Angeles based photog Bryan Rodner Carr has shot numerous lookbooks for some of our fave Cali based brands and boutiques. If you frequent T.C.H., you've most likely seen a number of his beautiful work. We got the chance for a mini one-on-one interview sesssh, where he talked about his inspiration, how he got his start, his local fave food joints, and more. Peep below:
Q: There's definitely a sense of free-spirited, California vibe in your photography work which we absolutely adore. How would you describe your style of photography? Where do you find inspiration?
Ahhhh thank you, I think my style actually varies quite a bit and sometimes can be hard to pin down just based on what type of shoot I'm doing. When you are working with clients, you are kind of a filter through which you bring their style and vision to life. I've shot for a ton of LA brands and companies so a lot of my work has those free spirit Cali vibes, which I really love. I think my own personal aesthetic is a bit darker and more real life almost documentary.
As for where I find inspiration, it's literally everywhere. From the music I listen too, the movies I watch and the places I travel. I'm always taking photos in my head whether I have a camera or not. As I'm driving or walking around I'm always looking at perspectives, lines and light on structures. DTLA has some of the most amazing light and reflected light in the city, it's beautiful. I also really love studying others work whether it's in magazines or books. I think taking in as much as you can is good thing.
"I'm always taking photos in my head whether I have a camera or not."
Q: We're curious to know how it all began – how did you get your start in photography?
Honestly, I think it can be dated back to my parents getting a divorce, oddly enough, and the boxes of family photos that were divided up. I just remembered my father really wanting to keep all the photographs, I was pretty young but I think that's when it occurred to me how important it is to document, record and freeze moments of our lives. At some point my dad gave me his 35mm pentax and I started shooting, once I got to highschool classes were offered and it's just always been a part of who I am.
"I just remembered my father really wanting to keep all the photographs, I was pretty young but I think that's when it occurred to me how important it is to document, record and freeze moments of our lives"
Q: You're based out of LA – are there certain things in the city that has influenced you? What makes LA a special place for you?
I grew up in Kansas City, went to college in Chicago and have lived in LA for 10 years now. I get to travel quite a bit and every town I visit is like a blank canvas, I get really excited about exploring and shooting new places. Having said that there is nowhere like LA, the light is just different here. There is a David Lynch quote I really adore about this,
"I love Los Angeles. I know a lot of people go there and they see just a huge sprawl of sameness. But when you're there for a while, you realize that each section has its own mood. The golden age of cinema is still alive there, in the smell of jasmine at night and the beautiful weather. And the light is inspiring and energizing. Even with smog, there's something about that light that's not harsh, but bright and smooth. It fills me with the feeling that all possibilities are available. I don't know why. It's different from the light in other places. The light in Philadelphia, even in the summer, is not nearly as bright. It was the light that brought everybody to L.A. to make films in the early days. It's still a beautiful place."
Q: Do you have a favorite shoot that comes to mind from all of the shoots you've done?
Well the first shoot I ever did for Mate the Label really stands out, I met my wife that day 🙂
Q: What was the craziest thing that's happened on set? That you're willing to share of course…
Idk if this is "crazy" but on a recent shoot in Kauai, we were all over the island and it was just pouring rain the entire time. At one point the rain became relentless, we were stuck on a muddy hill with no traction and the car sliding down towards a river. There were a lot of emotions happening but luckily a local came to our rescue and towed us out. The model and crew were amazingly optimistic and everything worked out wonderfully in the end.
Q: Film or digital?
I shoot both and love both but there is nothing like film.
Q: 5 things to pack for a shoot:
about 5 cameras
a good hat
bluetooth speaker
spf 100
and I've started packing a change of clothes since I was drenched by a huge wave a few months back on a shoot
Q: 5 tunes currently on replay:
I'm bad with actual song titles but here are some albums I've got on repeat
Schoolboy Q – Blank Face
Blood Orange – Freetown Squad
Calvin Love – Superfuture
James Supercave – Better Strange
and anything Drake or Michael McDonald
Q: 5 LA food joints you recommend:
This is tough cause I have so many, I'll keep it just to my immediate neighborhood of Silverlake:
Night + Market Song – Street Thai (get the pork toro)
Pine & Crane – Taiwanese (the shrimp wontons)
Sopressata/Ohana Poke – sandwiches and poke bowls/burritos (all of it)
Bowery Bungalow – Mediterranean (that lamb sammy tho)
Las Glorias – Mexican (Shrimp Tostada)
Q: We can't get enough of your work! Where else can we find you so we can get our daily photo fix?

I started a new TRAVEL section on my website where I'll be posting 35mm film from places I visit.

For the last five or six years growth has been pretty hard to find, and it doesn't look like that dynamic will change anytime soon. While some emerging markets do offer solid growth, it can be difficult for the overseas, retail investors, to find ways to profit from that growth. Big technology companies, a wellspring of growth just over ten years ago, have largely matured.
But in oil and gas, several transformations have been under way thanks to technological advancements across the board. These transformations have led to spectacular growth, growth that, this time, retail investors can participate easily in. This article will go over two important, transformative trends in energy and will offer one investment for each trend. While these names are certainly not the only choices available, I believe that each represent a good place to start.
Rise of LNG
The world's energy demand is still growing. At the same time, many power-hungry, manufacturing countries such as Japan and Germany have announced plans to reduce or eliminate reliance on nuclear energy. Many other western countries are working to reduce reliance on coal. This leaves a powerful vacuum that is most economically filled by natural gas.
The biggest sources of natural gas in the world are Australia, the U.S., Africa, and Russia. The greatest demand, however, comes from Europe and East Asia. Complicating things further, exporting natural gas is a capital-intensive operation. That's where LNG shippers come in.
Between now and 2025, capacity to ship liquefied natural gas, or LNG, will rise by 5% per year. Shippers of LNG will have a lot more to ship. The demand for LNG export vessels, ships which take a lot of time and capital to make, is expected to rise to almost 600 by 2025. Yet, only 300 LNG vessels are forecasted to be online by that time.
GasLog (NYSE:GLOG) is one of a handful of names focused exclusively on LNG charter ships. This $2.2 billion company has a fleet utilization rate of 100%, and despite the company's ambitious ship construction program, it is unlikely that utilization rate will change much, given current market fundamentals. GasLog has put itself into one of the best trends in energy today.
North to south
In the past, US pipelines moved natural gas from the traditional supply source, the Gulf Coast, to the traditional demand source, the Northeastern seaboard. Today that trend has reversed, or has at least become much more complicated. Thanks to huge shale discoveries, the greatest source of dry gas supply in the US is now the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. This discovery was so game-changing that natural gas prices in the US dropped well below those of the rest of the world, thereby giving the US petrochemical industry, which depends on natural gas as an input for so many chemicals, to boom all along the Gulf Coast.
The end result is that gas now flows from Pennsylvania to both the eastern seaboard and the South. Most pipeline operators were not ready for this, but Williams Partners (NYSE:WPZ) certainly was. Years ago, when Williams built its Gulf Coast to New England gas pipeline, the Transco Pipeline, the company decided to make the pipeline a bi-directional one. Management at the time had no idea what a great decision that would be. As other pipeline companies scramble to retool their systems to the new reality, Transco is the single fastest-growing pipeline system in America.
Foolish takeaway
These two important energy trends are not the only ones going on today, but I believe that both now provide fantastic opportunities to investors who can be be enterprising but patient. In the coming years, LNG will become a much bigger pie than it is today. In the U.S., gas will increasingly flow from the north, not the south. While Williams and GasLog are certainly not the only choices here, I believe that both represent a good place to start looking.

Week in Review
May 28, 2007
SEC to Create Office Focused on Restitution
The Securities and Exchange Commission will create an office focused solely on returning restitution money to investors harmed by stock fraud, and one of its first missions will be to return the $3.4 million in fines and disgorgement to mutual fund investors impacted by the timing scandal.
The office makes sense, given how slowly the Commission currently is able to return the money, SEC Chairman Christopher Cox told a Senate appropriates subcommittee. The SEC has been working with the Treasury Department's Bureau of Public Debt to invest money it collects in interest-bearing accounts.
Janus, Invesco Close To Repaying Investors
Janus and Invesco are close to repaying the combined $425 million in restitution they owe investors. The Securities and Exchange Commission will soon announce how the money will be distributed this coming fall, Donald Hoerl, associate director of enforcement in the SEC's Denver office, told the Rocky Mountain News.
"The Commission wants [the payments] out the door," concurred George Curtis, head of the Denver office, of the money first collected four years ago.
While Janus' share of the payments is $100 million and Invesco's is $325 million, analysts said that individual investors could only expect to see a few dollars returned to them.
Supreme Court to Hear Municipal Bond Case
The Supreme Court said it will hear a case in its next term this fall that could drastically impact both the municipal bond market and 529 college savings plans.
At issue is whether states can exempt municipal bonds issued in their own state from taxes yet levy taxes on municipal bonds issued by other states.
A Kentucky court ruled last year that taxing municipal bonds issued by other states is in violation of the anti-discriminatory provisions for out-of-state commerce outlined in the Constitution.
"The outcome has broad implications for the municipal bond market at large, far beyond Kentucky's borders," the state's Secretary of Commerce John R. Farris told law.com.
Yet, based on a case concerning local governments in New York that the Supreme Court heard in which it ruled in their favor, some legal experts expect it will overturn Kentucky's decision and allow states to continue to exempt their own municipal bonds from taxes.
Mansueto Aims to Make Morningstar a Super Site'
Joe Mansueto, chairman of Morningstar, said he has even bigger plans for his company: to deliver a "seamless, integrated solution" like Microsoft Office, the Chicago Sun Times reports.
Mansueto made the comment during an annual shareholder meeting at which he revealed that Morningstar plans to unveil additional research products-namely covering hedge funds, foreign currencies, commodities, retirement planning and portfolio analytics-and turn its website into a launch pad, or "super site," for all of its products and services.
Mansueto plans to continue to serve individuals, financial planners and institutions, thereby covering the entire financial services industry and achieving "critical mass," he said.
Morningstar's revenue rose 39% in 2006, and the company typically posts profits of 25% or better.
Pozen Sees No Reason To Sell MFS Investments
MFS Investment Management, which had been on the market until last October, is no longer looking for a buyer, the firm's chairman, Robert Pozen, tells Bloomberg.
"We think there would not be a benefit to selling the company because we operate as a relatively standalone operation [from parent company Sun Life Financial] and do very well," Pozen said.
Of particular note, Pozen said, since a new management team was put in place three years ago, MFS's assets have increased 50% to $200 billion. The firm's profits also increased 38% in the first quarter to $61 billion.
"We're feeling pretty good about it," Pozen said.
Shareholders Concerned About Proxy Advice Firms
Mutual funds, pensions and other large shareholders that rely on two large proxy advisory firms, Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services, are concerned that new ownership at the businesses might be affecting the quality of the advice they impart, The Wall Street Journal reports.
In particular, Xinhau Finance of Shanghai, which has ties to the Chinese government, increased its stake in Glass Lewis from 19.9% to buy it outright, and two weeks ago, two of the firm's top research executives resigned due to concerns about Xinhua Finance.
"I am uncomfortable with and deeply disturbed by the conduct, background and activities of Glass Lewis's new parent, its senior management and its directors," said Jonathan Weil, the former director of research at Glass Lewis.
However, Dan Connell, chief operating officer at Xinhua Finance, said the Chinese government only owns 1% of Glass Lewis and that its proxy advisory business is kept distinct from its investor relations service.
The concerns at ISS, which RiskMetrics acquired late last year, are that should RiskMetrics go public, as it is considering, it could beef up its corporate governance consulting business, which would mean it could be more inclined to side with management.

Environmental preservation is slowly taking center stage around the globe. Because of this, initiatives such as stormwater management, a specialized field concerned with the proper and efficient channeling of stormwater runoffs, have been gaining popularity. Stormwater management has been widely applied in construction projects to ensure that the infrastructure being built has minimal impact on the environment and that environmental factors, such as flooding and erosion, will not affect the integrity of the building.
However, stormwater management is not exclusively for industry and commercial purposes. The public could also join in this intiative through simple stormwater solutions that they can do at home. These solutions may be small compared with those employed by industries and commercial establishments, but collectively, these steps can make a big difference.
Fertilizers for your lawns have harmful chemicals that could end up contaminating your local river or lake. You must remember that the stormdrain installed in your home is directly connected to your nearest water source. Fertilize your lawn only when needed, and make sure that it's carefully timed. Never apply fertilizers and pesticides on your lawn if there is rain predicted; you'll simply waste your fertilizers and contaminate the water runoffs.
Everything that enters the stormdrain goes straight to local waters. For this reason, it's important to keep your home's surroundings clean and clutter-free. Don't put anything directly into the stormdrain, and make sure that any spillage or leaks of chemicals are properly removed. By cleaning your yard, you help maintain the cleanliness of local waters, and you contribute in making your home more desirable to live in.
Conserving water when you're working outdoors is one of the simplest stormwater solutions. Don't merely hose your driveway down to clean it, and adjust sprinklers so that they don't excessively water your lawn or yard. Keeping water usage to a minimum when working outdoors can help lower the chances of contaminants winding up in local water sources.
Recycling rainwater can be as simple as installing a rain barrel to collect water draining from your roof's downspout. The collected water can then be used for your watering or cleaning needs. You could also install a rain garden – a natural or shallowly-dug depression, with a mix of shrubs and plants – to help facilitate the collection of water.

Empty Stares, I No Longer CareMature
Brown eyes flood with crimson,
Staring deep into my mind and soul,
No secrets can be hidden,
Though my own eyes keep their blue-grey empty gaze.
Almost telepathic,
Messages scarred and engraved into my mind and heart,
Like a brand burnt into metal,
A tattoo, a scar I wear with resilient hatred,
And disturbingly compulsive pride.
I lie that nothing hurts me now,
I confidently swear that I don't care,
Don't give a damn about anyone else anymore.
But one stare, one soul-destroying stare,
Is nails being driven into my heart,
Crimson flows through the layer of ice,
Suddenly I have reason to care.
Then all it takes is another sort of stare,
Then I know that I'm worthless, dead to you.
Everything in this cruel, dying world,
Loses its meaning, value and once again,
I no longer care.

Millennium Challenge Corporation:
Review of Compact Records and Information Management Program
GAO-13-615: Published: Jun 20, 2013. Publicly Released: Jun 20, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3149
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
In 2006, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) established a records and information management program to maintain and preserve its federal records. The program includes policies related to compact management records--a subset of MCC's federal records. These policies also address the handling of other compact-related information generated by MCC partner governments' accountable entities, which typically manage compact implementation until the 5-year compacts close. MCC's policies require that the entities transfer their compact management records to MCC for storage before compact closure. MCC also requires that partner governments retain compact-related information not classified as records, such as survey data and data quality reviews, for at least 5 years after their compacts close, to facilitate audits and analysis of MCC assistance. However, MCC does not require, and has not conducted, periodic reviews to determine whether it has received all compact-management records from the accountable entities consistent with federal internal control standards. As a result, MCC cannot be sure that it is meeting the federal requirement that it preserve all records documenting its functions, activities, and other transactions.
In reviews of five closed compacts--Armenia's, Benin's, El Salvador's, Ghana's, and Mali's--GAO found variation in the accountable entities' implementation of MCC document retention requirements and the partner governments' ability to retrieve requested compact-related information after the compacts closed. As required by MCC's compact closure guidelines, all five program closure plans that we reviewed contained some discussion of retaining and storing documents, but each accountable entity addressed the guidelines' requirements differently. MCC's guidelines do not provide a list specifying standard types of compact-related information that most compacts should retain. Such variation in approaches to retaining and storing compact-related information will make it more difficult for MCC to verify that standard compact information is retained in all partner countries after the compacts close. In addition, in a test of MCC's ability to retrieve documents from the partner governments after compact closure, GAO found that four of the five governments provided all or most requested documents within 30 days, but Mali's, which is involved in political turmoil, provided no documents. Political turmoil in Madagascar, another compact-recipient country, has also impeded MCC's ability to obtain compact information that may be needed to conduct future audits, evaluate project impact, or inform future compact designs.
Why GAO Did This Study
MCC has approved 26 bilateral compact agreements, providing a total of about $9.3 billion to help eligible developing countries reduce poverty and stimulate economic growth. MCC is subject to the Federal Records Act, which requires that agencies preserve all records documenting its functions and other important transactions.
GAO was asked to review MCC's management of records and information. This report (1) examines MCC's records and information management program and practices and (2) assesses partner governments' implementation of MCC's information retention guidelines. GAO analyzed MCC documents, interviewed MCC officials, and tested MCC's ability to retrieve compact-related information from five closed compacts. GAO selected these compacts because they closed after May 2011, when MCC's Program Closure Guidelines went into effect.
What GAO Recommends
To strengthen MCC's records and information management program, MCC's Chief Executive Officer should (1) develop a policy requiring--and conduct--periodic reviews of MCC's compact-management records to ensure they are complete, (2) revise guidelines to include a sample document retention schedule specifying standard types of compact-related information compacts should retain, and (3) review MCC's policy of delegating storage of most compact-related information to partner governments. MCC agreed with all three recommendations and stated that they have already taken steps to implement them.
For more information, contact David Gootnick at (202) 512-3149 or email@example.com.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: In August 2013, MCC reported that it was reviewing possible revision revisions to the agency's Policy and Procedures for Compact-Related Federal Recordkeeping to include a bi-annual review of the Federal Records Management Repository for each Compact country. In June 2014, March 2015, and March 2016, MCC stated that this policy was undergoing final review and clearance process and that you would provide a copy upon its completion. As of December 2016, GAO has not received a revised policy and procedures document.
Recommendation: To strengthen MCC's records and information management program, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) should develop a policy requiring--and conduct--periodic reviews of each set of compact management records that MCC receives from partner governments, to ensure that the records are complete.
Agency Affected: Millennium Challenge Corporation
Status: Open
Comments: In response to our report published in June 2013, MCC stated that it was developing a sample document retention schedule to share with its partner countries specifying standard types of compact-related documents that need to be retained upon closure of its compact. At that time, MCC also reported that the sample document retention schedule will be included in a revision of MCC Program Closure Guidelines to be released later in 2013. In June 2014, March 2015, and March 2016, MCC reported that the sample document retentions schedules were in the final stages of senior management review and clearance. As of December 2016, GAO had not received a revised program closure guidelines document.
Recommendation: To strengthen MCC's records and information management program, the CEO should revise program closure guidelines to include a sample document retention schedule, specifying standard types of compact-related information that most compacts would need to retain.
Agency Affected: Millennium Challenge Corporation
Status: Open
Comments: In response to our report published in June 2013, MCC stated that it disagreed with this third recommendation. In June 2014, MCC stated that they believe there would be sufficient safeguards in place regarding it records retention once they have implemented the first two recommendations in report #GAO-13-615. As of December 2016 MCC had not changed its position. GAO continues to believe the recommendation has merit.
Recommendation: To strengthen MCC's records and information management program, the CEO should review MCC's policy of delegating the storage of compact-related information to partner governments, weighing the costs and benefits of storing more of this information at MCC headquarters.

Not powerful enough and tends to get stuck but this is to be expected from a 10.8v saw. If you don't expect too much of it, it is a useful little tool.

Amazing piece of kit,not sure how I lived without it
Alan Tittershill
Posted - 22 January 2015
Handy compact bit of kit, only used it a couple of times (only cuts through 98% of the depth of a window sill) but more than adequate for flooring etc. I have several 10.8v Bosch tools so the bare tool option was perfect,

I bought this saw as an occasional tool to provide support in locations and for tasks for which the larger mains saw is excessive.
Since it will cut an inch, this also covers doors (after carpeting) and heavy model work.
It fits my spec exactly; but I have yet to use it extensively.
And since I have a number of the Bosch Pro 10.8V tools, the bare tool was a useful cost saving.

Bosch GKS 10.8 V-LI Cordless Circular Saw was bought to cut 8 x 4 plywood sheets into manageable lengths . it works a treat even on 25mm thick plywood. Haven't had a chance to top use for any length of time but cut up one sheet into 6 and the battery was still going strong.

Other local authority activities: miscellaneous (N to Z): park and ride schemes
Many local authorities offer park and ride schemes. These schemes are designed to reduce levels of congestion and pollution in town centres by encouraging drivers to park out of town and continue their journey using public transport. Local authorities may operate entire schemes or work in partnership with private sector to provide the facilities
In 2007 HMRC issued an aide memoire which attempted to set out the liability of the different types of park and ride schemes using the principals of single and multiple supply. But this could not accommodate all the variety of park and ride arrangements in place.
HMRC is now conducting a comprehensive review of the VAT treatment with a view to producing fuller and clearer guidance on the issue. While the review is in progress a set of interim rules, which apply to park and ride schemes operated wholly by local authorities, were agreed with CIPFA in January 2009.
Application of Interim Treatment of park and ride schemes which are operated solely by local authorities
The interim treatment can be applied to park and ride charges where:
- a local authority supplies both the parking and the transport
- a single payment is made covering both of these supply elements (irrespective of where payment physically takes place), and
- payment entitles the driver to both use the parking facilities and obtain transport for no further consideration.
In cases where charges are treated as being wholly standard rated
If a local authority is currently treating its charges as being wholly standard-rated in reliance on HMRC guidance, provided that the criteria set out above are satisfied it may opt to apportion the charges between the standard-rated car parking and zero-rated public transport. If a local authority opts to do this, it must retain evidence that:
- demonstrates why it has concluded the charges can be apportioned, and
- demonstrates why it considers the apportionment applied achieves a proper attribution of values between the two supplies.
In cases where charges are currently being treated as being wholly zero rated
If a local authority is currently treating the charges as being wholly zero-rated it should consider whether or not apportionment is applicable. If the local authority decides not to make any apportionment it should retain evidence demonstrating why it does not consider apportionment to be appropriate. If it opts to apportion it should retain evidence demonstrating why it considers the apportionment achieves a proper attribution of values between the two supplies.
Interim rules in cases where charges are currently subject to apportionment
Where a local authority is already apportioning its charges, that apportionment should remain undisturbed until the review has been concluded and revised guidance issued.
Action to be taken at the end of the interim period
When the park and ride review has been completed HMRC expects that all local authorities will compare their treatment of their park and ride charges with the information set out in the new guidance. Where there is a difference in VAT treatment HMRC will expect local authorities to apply the revised guidance from the date of its publication.
Disputed treatment
In the event that HMRC does not agree with any local authority's VAT treatment of park and ride charges it will not take any retrospective action but, where applicable, will issue assessments from the date of the publication of the new guidance.

Martin: Rainbow
I sighed looking at Ash's perfect, pale face. She turned and smiled at me as she glided out of the bathroom, and sat down on the setee, not jostling it at all. I looked at her crimson-red eyes.
"You're gonna need-"
"Contacts? Got it all covered," she said, holding up a small white box. I laughed. She always had it covered. She frowned, walking to the door,
"We should go find Rainbow," she muttered,
"Rainbow?" She rolled her eyes, laughed, but said nothing more. She just pulled me out of the door, into the bright sunlight.

Nothing remotely interesting occurred on Saturday. I cleaned my room, read a book, and listened to the radio. I don't even think that's 140 characters, so I suppose I'll combine it with Sunday.
On Sunday the Fifteenth of September, I went downtown with my mother. I deposited my pay checks from last school year at the bank, bought a newsboy hat, along with Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls (David Sedaris), and two new pairs of shoes. I then went home, stretched an hour's-worth of Econ homework into four or five by listening to podcasts and reading the aforementioned David Sedaris publication whenever I got bored with economic enigmas. Read it cover to cover, finishing sometime after midnight. There are, indeed, owls mentioned, although I have no idea where the diabetes comes in.

Top Searches: Jazzmaster, Les Paul, Rickenbacker, Gretsch, JHS
From Roland:
The Roland Boutique JX-03 module continues the legacy of the JX-3P synth. The original model was launched when button-driven interfaces were popular, so it was designed to give immediate access to preset sounds. It was actually highly programmable though, especially when used with the optional PG-200 controller that added 24 rotary knobs for instant sonic sculpting. The limited-edition 4-voice JX-03 inherits all 24 knobs from the PG-200, as well as the distinctive JX tonal character. We've also added some extras not present in the JX-3P including new waveforms, expanded DCO range and cross modulation options. You can even slide the JX-03 into the optional K-25m keyboard unit for a self-contained, go-anywhere synth experience.

Facets of Vision
This book is a comprehensive review providing an overview of modern compound eye research. The historical development of the field is also sketched, referring in particular to the pioneering study of Sigmund Exner - whose 1891 monograph is at last available in English (please see below). Facets of Vision is also intended as a tribute to Professor H. Autrum, one of this century's major pioneers of the field. The present state of compound eye research is reviewed by acknowledged international experts, starting with optics and proceeding, through neural processing, to visually guided behaviour. Topics covered include: fundamental optical principles and diversity of optical design, photochemistry, phototransduction, eye pigments, neuroanatomy, circadian rhythms, early visual processing, neuropharmacology, colour vision, polarization vision, depth vision and motion detection. Comprising a coherent compilation of authoritative reviews, Facets of Vision will stand as a milestone in compound eye research.

Room Of Loneliness
Musings on life and death and our perception of its utter mystery.
Oblivion will not suffice
To the path we take only twice
Surely an open door must be
Somewhere in between our life.
Emptiness will never do
For all the creatures destiny slew
We take the knob but it won't turn
Through the peephole secrets unlearned
Locked away inside this room
Without a key to escape the gloom
With the threat of nullity
Behind our fragile boundary
An end of all just cannot serve
Our apparent learning curve
If we were made so broken
When will they come fix us?
Was this room ever occupied?
Or were thoughts of company only a lie?
When will we get to take a peek
To find the reason why we speak?
Loneliness is a thousand little deaths
To stagnate is to suffer
We will not know till our final breath
If there is an open door.

Building a better BU experience
DOS office to come under president's direction
As part of his initiative to give students an enriched, interdisciplinary experience at BU — able to take advantage of the campus and the city as well as the academic environment — President Robert A. Brown has restructured the role of the Office of the Dean of Students so that the office will report directly to the University's president.
"Continuing the development of our student community and enhancing student life on campus will be some of our most important initiatives in the coming years," says Brown. "The best way for me to keep engaged in student issues is to work very closely with Kenn Elmore. My hope is that this reporting structure will make Boston University an even better learning community."
Elmore (SED'87), who first came to BU as the manager of the former student center in the George Sherman Union, worked in the Offices of Student Activities and Residence Life and served as associate director of Residence Life for 12 years before leaving the University in 2001 to practice law. He returned to become dean of students in 2003, and since then has made it a priority to be involved, accessible, and engaged in student life on campus.
"From the first day of orientation, Dean Elmore presents himself as a personable figure in the school," says Amanda Wybolt (COM'08). "I feel like I could walk into his office and talk to him."
Elmore says that both he and Brown see student life as a "cocurricular experience that complements the classroom experience," and that the challenge at BU is offering programs that will help students feel connected to campus while at the same time encouraging them to take advantage of the University's location in the city. "If you look at the curriculum of your Boston University experience," says Elmore, "it's got to involve the city and what happens outside of the classroom, around the campus."
Both also hope to develop a BU community that transcends individual schools, colleges, and majors. "We are getting into more discussions about what kind of experience all BU students should have," Elmore says.
To remain informed about student interests, Elmore makes a point of participating in a number of events and programs organized by the Community Service Center and the Student Activities Office. His own office has also created programs intended to reach out to students, such as weekly Coffee and Conversation sessions.
"I feel like Dr. Brown has a really great vision for the school, and if you combine that vision with someone like Dean Elmore, who knows what's going to happen?" says Wybolt. "Amazing things."

By: Daniel Nonor
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is to announce the environmental performance of 55 manufacturing and 14 mining companies with the Akoben Management Tool.
The Akoben Management Tool is an environmental management initiative, developed two years ago by the EPA to assess the performance of the two sectors, with the use of a five-colour rating scheme.
Mrs. Angelina Ama Tutuah Mensah, Deputy Director of Public Affairs and Gender Unit of the EPA, disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency in Tamale on Monday.
"The five-colours: gold, green, blue, orange and red, encompasses the full spectrum of environmental performance, ranging from excellent to poor," she said.
Mrs. Mensah said when a company is rated Gold, it indicated that it had been able to adapt to voluntary initiatives, and was responsive to public complaints, adequately complied with environmental standards, and had followed its corporate social responsibility policies.
She further explained that for a firm rated Green, it meant that it had adequate compliance with environmental standards and reclamation bond criteria, and had adopted voluntary initiatives, and was responsive to public complaints.
A Blue rated company, she said, indicated that the institution had adequate compliance with environmental standards and reclamation bond criteria only.
"Orange rated means that the company has exceeded the regulatory standards for non-toxics, weak environmental monitoring, and incomplete fulfillment of reclamation bond criteria."
Mrs. Mensah said the colour Red would mean that the company had failed to follow environmental law (LI 1652), and showed patterns of chronic exceeded, creates risks from toxics and hazardous wastes mismanagement and discharges.
She said the tool and the ratings report would also provide clear guidance on where a mining company needs to make improvements in the future.
Mrs. Mensah explained that the tool uses an approach that reflects the modern concepts of corporate environmental and social performance, including ideas such as community relationships, public participation, conflict resolution, and continual improvement.
Akoben's methodology, she said, had several unique and innovative features that made it the first rating model of its kind for the sectors.
"This initiative uses quantitative, qualitative and visual information to comprehensively evaluate the environmental performance of each site, as well as minimising the use of controversial or vague indicators."
Mrs. Mensah noted that though the existing literature on environmental and social performance measurement was filled with innumerable ideas and concepts, the tool had been designed to narrow it down to only those performance indicators that could be measured, verified, and validated by a third party.
Akoben, which is a local Adinkra symbol, and stands for vigilance and wariness, also focused on environmental outcomes that indicate various levels of environmental, and health risks, the probability of restoration of environmental conditions in the long-term, and the quality of corporate commitment to social issues.
"This rating tool incorporates the national regulatory performance goals as well as the traditional community relationship aspects that are unique to Ghana.
"At the same time, it also incorporates the practically feasible aspects of environmental and social performance guidelines of the various international organisations including the World Bank and World Health Organisation guidelines," she said.
Mrs. Mensah said a similar tool called Program for Pollution Control Evaluation and Rating (PROPER) was first introduced in 1995 in Indonesia, "the distinction with this new method is that it is specifically be used to assess mining and manufacturing companies, as well as contributing to the international effort in the field of environmental rating and public disclosure, specifically in the mining sector."

Greedy dribblers had better learn to share the ball, according to Kwasi Sarkodee-Adoo, aka Coach Qu, who uses basketball to help fight obesity and motivate young people in deprived communities of his home town, Leeds.
"It's something boys and girls can play together because it's a non-contact sport," Adoo says. "The emphasis is on skill and movement, so if a girl is less strong than a boy, in basketball it doesn't matter."
A shoulder injury forced 34-year-old Adoo to give up being a professional player when he was 25. Now he devotes his time to coaching young people in the Harehills and Chapeltown districts of Leeds. "They're inner-city areas that people are scared to go into," Adoo says. "There's high unemployment and high crime."
His community group, Hoops, offers free basketball training once a week at a local leisure centre to around 30 young people, aged six to 18. Hoops also works with schools, youth clubs and secure children's centres. One of these centres, East Moor, provided a highlight of his coaching in the community, Adoo says. The training culminated in the young offenders taking on a Hoops team in friendly matches. "It made them feel a sense of belonging and bond as a team, which they had to do to challenge my team," he says.
"Our point was that lads who played basketball could have been taken out of East Moor and placed in any high school," says Isola Blair, enrichment co-ordinator at East Moor. "If you were watching them play basketball, you'd never have known that they'd come from a secure unit. It was about giving them motivation and self-esteem."
She adds: "Lots of young people changed as a result, because at the end of the sessions, Kwasi praised them for their good work." Blair says they also benefited from Adoo's nutrition and fitness advice.
Adoo is now setting his own sights higher. He has been consulting Urban Biz, a local social enterprise, for advice on honing his Hoops-based activities into a business that can expand his community work.
"I was all over the place," says Adoo, who now gets free weekly one-on-one business advice from the enterprise@work programme, funded by a Leeds Local Enterprise Growth Initiative project called Sharing the Success.
Urban Biz business counsellor Peter Millar says Adoo "wasn't getting as much time as he would have liked to spend doing his community work". With Miller helping to maximise his reach through Hoops, Adoo is relishing the future. He says: "It should get even bigger and better."

Neymar out of Cup as Brazil and Germany make semis
By Andrew Cawthorne
BELO HORIZONTE (Reuters) - Hosts Brazil suffered a huge blow when they lost leading forward Neymar for the rest of the World Cup through injury on Friday as they set up an epic-looking semi-final against Europe's biggest remaining team Germany.
Brazil's poster-boy, in terrific form with four goals at the tournament, fractured a vertebra near the end of a 2-1 quarter-final win over Colombia and will be out for several weeks.
"It doesn't need surgery, but he'll need to immobilize it to recover," team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar said.
The news dampened the host nation's celebrations, given the team's reliance on the 22-year-old Barcelona forward's skill and talismanic presence. Many bookmakers now have Brazil and Germany as joint favorites at around 9/4.
"It's the worst possible news. Neymar is so important to us. It is going to be so difficult against Germany now," said shocked student Fabian Ruiz, 19, dressed in a yellow Brazil shirt and quaffing beer with friends in a Belo Horizonte street.
"They must do it for him. We all have to unite now."
Brazil face their biggest test of the tournament in the semi-final in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday against Germany, who defeated France in their quarter-final earlier on Friday.
The clash of styles and continents will excite fans around the world, but Neymar's absence is a big disappointment. Continued...

Ice fishing report
Despite the deep-freeze that Sunset Country has been in over the past week, we have still been hitting the ice hard, catching several species of fish. Conditions are not ideal, there is still a lot of snow. Strong winds this past week really hardened things up so snowmobile travel is the only way to go until we get a good melt.

PSN not working?
2 replies 279 views Edited Feb 4, 2014
This is crazy. I spent a lot of money on the PS4 plus now you have to be a play station plus member to play online that means more $$$$$. I guess that would be all good of we didn't have so many problems and had a stable network to play on. Having great graphics does us no good if you can play on line!!!!!! I called playstation and now they are saying that the PSN store updates on Tuesdays afternoon east cost time and that the network may not be available. Who in their right mind would ever schedule updates to the PSN durning the time you could expect high traffic on the network. Let's face it the US has to be their biggest market so you would think they would work around that. Once again Sony has missed the mark but I guess they don't care once they have your money. It may be time to look at Xbox as I understand their network is pretty stable.

I don't suppose David Cameron is looking forward to the publication of Lord Justice Leveson's report on the press next month. The Prime Minister squirmed through an uncomfortable day at the inquiry in the summer, when his close friendship with the former Sun and News of the World editor, Rebekah Brooks, was revealed in a series of texts and emails. But he must have breathed a sigh of relief last week when the inquiry did not order him to hand over another cache of messages between himself and Brooks, which is said to include embarrassing exchanges.
The fact that the inquiry hasn't demanded the emails is perplexing. It has rightly gone beyond the phone-hacking scandal to probe the relationship between editors and politicians, producing some of the most fascinating exchanges of the whole inquiry. Who could forget Cameron's chagrin as a text from Brooks promising a "country supper soon" was read out in the courtroom? Now it turns out there are many more messages between Cameron and Brooks, and between Cameron and his former communications chief Andy Coulson, but the Prime Minister believes he's entitled to withhold them, assured by lawyers that they're not "relevant".
I'm sure Cameron was very relieved indeed to get this advice. (Who paid for it, by the way? Earlier this year, the Cabinet Office told me that ministers were entitled to "legal support" for those parts of their evidence that relate to government business – but not for the period when they were in Opposition.) But it is surely up to Lord Leveson, not the Prime Minister, to decide which documents are relevant to the job he's been asked to do. Nor did Cameron help his case with a petulant performance in the House of Commons, where he refused to answer a parliamentary question on the emails from the Labour MP and phone- hacking victim Chris Bryant.
On Friday, the Prime Minister replied to a letter from Labour's deputy leader, Harriet Harman, and insisted that he had "cooperated fully with he inquiry and given them all the material, that they have asked for". But that isn't the point, as Bryant immediately pointed out. "It stinks of a cover-up," he said.
The question isn't what the inquiry asked for; it's about the prime minister's judgement and what qualifies him to make decisions about the relevance of material in which he's personally involved. If the messages consist only of innocuous observations about the delights of the Oxfordshire countryside, their disclosure would do no lasting harm. So the obvious inference, as with the Attorney General's decision last week to block publication of Prince Charles's letters to ministers, is that they're much more revealing than that.
Up to now, Lord Leveson has gone about his business with a polite but steely resolve, and I cannot imagine why he hasn't dispatched an officer of the court to Downing Street with an instruction to hand over the emails forthwith.

addictive qualities of the spiritual path, and one of those primary ones is the spiritual high. Oh, it is so amazing. If you haven't had it before, you should really try it. If you have had it, you know what I'm talking about, and now, it's time to start your 12-Step program to quit it. "Why?" you may ask. Because it's not what this path is about.
Lost in High State Experiences
One of the easiest ways that spiritual seekers and those who stumble into awakening can get lost is in associating spirituality with a particular state of awareness. The deepest truth of this world is that all states of awareness are sacred, so as we develop our paths, we learn to embrace all that come to us without resistance. But most of us who start on the path aren't coming from that space. Many people get forced onto the spiritual path because they realize that everything else is a lie and doesn't make them feel good. If you really want a spiritual awakening, wait until you get hit by an 18-wheeler truck. This is because the path to awakening for a lot of people is through immense pain, and yet even after that, the spiritual path can just become another phase of the ego. You get lost in seeking healing and of course, those beautiful high states.
Using Retreats and Spiritual Teachers Like Vicodin
Continuing the theme of pain, for those who've ever been on Vicodin, it puts you into a pretty great state of la-la land. For the spiritual seeker, retreats and teachers become the Vicodin. You get lost in these wonderful feelings, and you never want them to stop. Then you go back to your "regular" life, and it all goes to shit again. You're so pissed at the world. "Why can't everyone be like your teacher or a yoga retreat? God, why is my life full of assholes?"
It is a predicament, is it not? Of course, the problem is that you're still looking for your fulfillment outside of yourself. You're caught up in a new form of self-gratification, and I'm referring to the little ego self here, not your true Self. So your feelings are completely conditional and caught in circumstances. Life being what it is will give you some circumstances that you like and others that you won't. And you'll be pining constantly for your spiritual Vicodin.
Taking Responsibility for Your States of Awareness
Haven't you forgotten something? Haven't you forgotten your responsibility to yourself and your world? Are you still expecting someone else to change your world? Only you can do this. Only you can actually do the work of the spiritual path. So many people are lacking the spiritual discipline and drive to actually deal with their internal issues to really embrace the spiritual path. It's not an amusement park.
In regards to awakening, I tend to warn people about it more than encourage them. Because until you're really ready to give up everything, the awakening is often more shock and trauma than most people can bear and integrate. It is a dramatic shift into a higher state of consciousness, but it's nothing like the one with your retreats and your annual pilgrimage to Burning Man. Because responsibility comes with it. It's like God pushed you face down into your own shit and your own greatest beauty all at once and said, "Hey! This is yours."
And you have to own it all.
The Settling of the Spiritual Waters
An interesting thing happens as you do the work to let go of your issues and integrate your true Self; your state of awareness changes. But what's really interesting is that the more you release a lower state of awareness (one driven by greed to one driven by service to others), the more you can't tell if you're in a higher state of awareness or not. You have to have two different reference points to make that judgment. If you release the lower state of awareness, then you may not even really notice that you're in a "high" or "higher" state of consciousness. You only can tell when you hang around people with whom you associated when you were living that old state of consciousness. Hopefully, if you do so, you now have compassion for where they are and aren't feeling "superior" or some such nonsense. They are where they are just as you are where you are. And as you go further into this higher state of consciousness, you also begin to realize that there's nowhere to go.
Letting Go of the Spiritual Search
For people with no spiritual background, responsibility, or integrity, starting the spiritual search is really important. It has to be done. And understanding that there's a better way to behave and act in regards to yourself and others is a key part of changing your life. It's a lot of work, but it's some of the most rewarding work you can do. But after awhile, there truly is no where to go. Everything is within you.
If you want a spiritual high experience, you can choose to create that within you because ultimately all those other events and people were just excuses to allow yourself to feel a certain way. Certainly, others have influences on us; we are all interconnected after all. But most of the experiences we feel are pretty much happening under own roof. If you want those experiences to continue, then make a commitment to change how you are and the way you are with yourself and others in your life. As you do that work, things will shift, and as they shift, you will naturally want to let go.
Then the search starts to fall away. Nothing needs to be done. It's one of those paradoxes of the spiritual path: the work helps us to let go. Letting go helps us to do the spiritual work we need to do. From this space, you aren't searching. You find what's true, and any state of awareness that comes to you will be the perfect one that you need in the moment that it comes.

While the jury is still out on how wearables will impact such distractions, a study conducted by the University of Central Florida determined that using Google Glass to text while driving is just as distracting as fumbling around with your smartphone in your hand.
A little over a year ago, AAA conducted a study involving voice-based texting and driving, and found the distractions to be worse that actually just talking with the phone in your hand. The peer-reviewed University study discovered that drivers using Glasswear were just as slow to react to those using the phone in their hands when it came to braking.
However, those wearing Google Glass were able to return to "normal" driving a bit faster than those using phones in their hands following a traffic incident. When the subjects were using Glass, the study also discovered that the drivers tended to follow the cars ahead of them a lot more closely. Coupled with equally delayed braking, the shorter following distance arguably makes conditions a bit worse.
It boils down to those who concentrate on the task of driving, versus those who choose to multitask, the multitaskers are outperformed by those who put down the phone, and in this case, take off the Glass.
