Gaddafi ex-spy charged in Mauritania-source
By Laurent Prieur
NOUAKCHOTT (Reuters) - Muammar Gaddafi's former spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi will stand trial in Mauritania for illegally entering the country, judicial sources said on Monday.
The move would delay efforts to have him face international justice.
Senussi's arrest in the West African state in March started a three-way tug-of-war among Libya, France and the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the extradition of one of the most feared members of Gaddafi's fallen regime.
"Abdullah al-Senussi has been interviewed for the first time by the state prosecutor. He should face trial soon for illegal entry into Mauritanian territory," said one judicial source, who requested anonymity. A second judicial source confirmed that Senussi had been formally charged.
The decision to proceed with the charges comes after the expiry of Senussi's 45-day custody period and could mean any extradition of Senussi to face justice outside Mauritania is indefinitely delayed, especially if he is found guilty.
In Libya, Foreign Ministry spokesman Saad al-Shelmani said: "We hope that this is the beginning of the process to hand over Senussi to Libya where he will face a trial by his own people."
Senussi was arrested as he flew in to the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott from Morocco on a falsified Malian passport.
He is suspected of playing a central role in the killing of more than 1,200 inmates at Tripoli's Abu Salim prison in 1996. It was the arrest of a lawyer acting for relatives of the victims that sparked the revolt in February last year that led to the ousting of Gaddafi by NATO-backed rebel forces. Continued...

Jersey Boys is a Clint Eastwood musical: which would once have sounded like the oxymoron of the year. (We don't count the off-the-chart anomaly of Paint Your Wagon, where Eastwood's he-man tunelessness was joined by Lee Marvin's.) The last person most of us would pick to direct a film of the stage singalong about crooner Frankie Valli, 1960s New Jersey delinquent turned chart-topping heartthrob ("Sherry"), is the actor who used to turn delinquents into morgue furniture.
From the later Eastwood, though, actor turned director, we have come to expect more variety: pacifist war movies (Letters from Iwo Jima); anti-racist, brotherhood-preaching cop thrillers (Gran Torino). Approaching zimmer age, Clint can even, evidently, cut a rug as a song-and-dance director. I never saw the stage show, but the film – containing more straight dialogue and straight drama, experts tell me – moves confidently for 135 minutes, with bright performances (Tony winner John Lloyd Young as Frankie outstanding), catchy numbers, a sparkle-and-sepia period look and one sublime in-joke for moviemanes. In The Deer Hunter Christopher Walken played a Vietnam draftee who sang the Valli hit "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" at an eve-of-flight bar-room stag party freighted with foreboding. (Cue the famous jump-cut to south-east Asian combat holocaust.) Walken is back in this film, now a Mafia grandee, and so is the song: man and music reunited in the inferno that is Hollywood, which consumes all things but occasionally, Phoenix-like, recycles them in bizarre new forms.

Less is more
"When we started getting rid of things, it was kind of addictive," she continues. "In a recession, people are inclined to keep things, but I feel the opposite. The less I have, the richer I feel. Stuff weighs you down."
Even life memories and heirlooms. Béa says, "Photos are a good way to keep the memory of something without keeping it because of emotional attachment or the guilt of letting it go." Put another way: Hang onto the photo of your grandmother in her fur coat, but if you never wear the coat, it's just taking up space in your closet.
Scott and Béa still have "vices." Makeup has been hard to purge for Béa, and English muffins for Scott—both come with some nonrecyclable packaging.
"We don't do everything right," she says. "We do have garbage. We do fly overseas to see my family in France once a year." Despite the regressions, the way the family lives makes others at least sit up and take notice: Béa says one neighbor visited, remarking that the house is "futuristic and alien-like," opening cupboards and asking, "Where's all your stuff?"

Ron Adner after interview discussion (4:15)
Ron shares a couple of great stories, but perhaps the most significant part of the interview is the discussion that happens after each story. One of the great benefits of sharing mistake stories is dialoguing with others about what happened, why, and how we can learn from it. I have found this sort of dialogue very helpful in my own learning, and I'm happy to share this neat example with everyone.

But you have to do self-evaluations, and if you have to do them, you should do them well. Most bosses rely heavily on the self-eval to write your full evaluation. In other words, the self-eval makes your case for pay increases, possible promotions, etc. So it doesn't pay (literally) to mail it in.
This year, I have been writing a short journal entry at the end of every workday – a short paragraph explaining the most notable event of the day. I then answer a few questions about the entry. One question asks me to categorize the event, which could be a mistake, an assessment, a gripe… or an accomplishment. I built this as a cloud-based app (ugly, but functional), so I could enter the data from anywhere, including my phone.
In order to prepare for my self-eval, I simply added a filter for "accomplishment" and got a fairly long list of accomplishments for the year. They easily clustered into a few most significant ones. I used this information as the basis to write my self-evaluation. There were patterns, too, in the accomplishments, that helped me do the document my strengths. The items labeled "mistakes" were useful to find development areas – an important and challenging part of a self-evaluation. Given that I had the journal entries, providing concrete examples was easy. I'm confident my self-eval will be the best representation possible of what I did all year.
In short, I won't do an evaluation ever again without having the online journal to work with.
How are you approaching your self-evaluation this year?
[By the way, the online journaling app is available in prototype form for free if you want to try it. Email me at inquiry (at) caddellinsightgroup.com if you'd like to try it. You'll thank me next December!]]]>
2. Adele, "Rolling in the Deep." It doesn't matter that you've already heard this song a million of times already (182 million views on YouTube!). It's still one of the great songs of the year, and we'll be singing along with it 20, 30, 40 years from now.
3. Macklemore, "Can't Hold Us." Go on, listen to this song without moving, without dancing. Without smiling. Go on. I defy you.

1. Brilliant Mistakes, Paul Schoemaker. Five years after publishing a terrific HBR article on the subject, Schoemaker celebrates mistakes as, in Joyce's words, "portals of discovery," a way of navigating through a largely unpredictable world. And he presents a compelling case for making "deliberate mistakes"–creating projects that go against the conventional wisdom in a strategic way, in order to uncover invalid assumptions and shifts in the environment. From Schoemaker: Companies strive for error elimination, hiring advisers and relying on sophisticated management tools such as Six Sigma. It's little wonder, then, that most decision-making books follow suit, encouraging you to focus narrowly on mistake avoidance today rather than provoking you to plan for the stream of decisions that you will face tomorrow.
2. The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work, Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer. A mammoth research project that tracked the activity and temperament of dozens of workers and managers on a daily basis brought forth a simple, startling insight: workers are happier and more productive when they make continual progress toward meaningful goals, and unhappy/unmotivated when obstacles are put in their way. The application of this insight improves both managers' effectiveness and workers' self-regard. Why is this book on the Mistake Bank list? Because the authors urge managers and workers to face reality, even if it's unpleasant, and handle setbacks with grace and persistence. From the book: By its very nature, meaningful work is hard; people often get the greatest satisfaction from overcoming the most difficult challenges. Failure is inevitable along the path to innovation. Though you should try to minimize obstacles and setbacks under your control, you can never create a problem-free bubble for your people. You can't nourish inner work life if you drive yourself and your team crazy trying to avoid all problems. Rather, focus on providing people with the catalysts and nourishers they need to overcome the obstacles they will inevitably face.
3. Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman. One of the fathers of behavioral economics and a Nobel Prize winner, Kahneman sums up the lessons he's learned in his decades of studying human nature – and is not above using himself as a subject. Kahneman writes: One of [my] themes is that people who face a difficult question often answer an easier one instead, without realizing it. We were required to predict a soldier's performance in officer training and in combat, but we did so by evaluating his behavior over one hour in an artificial situation. This was a perfect instance of a general rule that I call WYSIATI, "What you see is all there is." We had made up a story from the little we knew but had no way to allow for what we did not know about the individual's future, which was almost everything that would actually matter.
4. Better Under Pressure: How Great Leaders Bring Out the Best in Themselves and Others, Justin Menkes. A book that illustrates what corporate senior leaders need to do to succeed. Menkes describes great executives' understanding of their own fallibility and their willingness to take responsibility for mistakes ("owning their missteps") as keys to flourishing in the pressure-cooker of corporate leadership. From Menkes: Leaders adjusting to a significant increase in responsibility invariably make many mistakes. Those who ultimately excel recognize and own these missteps quickly and use the experiences to grow into their positions of elevated authority and increased complexity. But for this learning curve to occur, it is absolutely crucial that they accept their role in these mistakes. If they have a low sense of agency, they cannot, and will fail.
5. Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck. I'm cheating here – "Mindset" was published in 2006. But I didn't read it till this year, and without a doubt Dweck's research and writing are among the most influential in the learning field, especially among other academics. She was referenced in more of my reading than any other scholar (Kahneman was #2).
From Dweck: Tom Wolfe, in The Right Stuff, describes the elite military pilots who eagerly embrace the fixed mindset. Having passed one rigorous test after another, they think of themselves as special, as people who were born smarter and braver than other people. But Chuck Yeager, the hero of The Right Stuff, begged to differ. "There is no such thing as a natural-born pilot. Whatever my aptitude or talents, becoming a proficient pilot was hard work, really a lifetime's learning experience.… The best pilots fly more than the others; that's why they're the best."
What were the best business books you read this year? Weigh in below in the comments section.]]>
No women were on the list. This was noted in the article and I wondered about it too, given that I had read a lot of interesting work by female business scholars. I made my own list, which I posted back in 2008. It's notable that the 2009 Thinkers50 list had only 4.5 positions occupied by women.
Fast-forward to 2011. The "Thinkers 50″ list has just been released. Of the 50 thinkers, 10 are women, plus one collaborator). That list includes four who were on my original list of six from 2008, including Amy Edmondson, Rita McGrath, Herminia Ibarra and Rosabeth Moss Kanter.
It also includes several that I would have included on an updated list, including Teresa Amabile and Linda Hill.
Congratulations to all!]]>
The Toyota "North American Quality Advisory Panel," put together in the wake of the sudden-acceleration incidents in 2009-2010, has released its report, and it's fascinating reading of how a large company's strengths can turn into weaknesses under stress. [A copy of the full report is available at this link.]
The panel cites several factors that contributed to the crisis, including Toyota's centralized reporting structure, which led to miscommunication and delayed responses, and an unwise policy of categorizing safety as a subcomponent of quality. But most striking to me was a lesson that can apply to many companies I'm familiar with: they didn't take seriously complaints and feedback from customers and regulators – until it was too late to stave off a full-fledged crisis. To use John Kotter's term, they did not "let the outside in" at Toyota, which led them to minimize and push back against unintended acceleration complaints. Here are several excerpts from the report:
Truly listening to customers requires carefully considering, processing, and internalizing their feedback, even when it may be inconsistent with the company's instincts….
The Panel has observed that Toyota did not adequately apply the key principles of the [Toyota Production System] and the Toyota Way to its management and decision-making practices. The Toyota Way is founded on the core pillars of continuous improvement and respect for people. A fundamental principle of continuous improvement is genchi genbutsu, which means that one must "go and see" the source of the problem in order to determine its root cause. The Panel feels that Toyota applied this and other aspects of the TPS and the Toyota Way too narrowly in two respects.
First, while it is clear that Toyota applies the [Toyota Production System] process and the Toyota Way to problems or flaws found internally, Toyota does not appear to treat feedback from external sources, including customers, independent rating agencies, and regulators, the same way. For example, it doesn't appear that Toyota applied genchi genbutsu as quickly and thoroughly as it could have in investigating and seeking out the root causes of customer complaints regarding issues such as [Unintended Acceleration].
Second, Toyota did not apply the principles of TPS and the Toyota Way adequately to identify and avoid repeating management decision-making errors with the same thoroughness and dedication with which it applies them in its manufacturing process. Although Toyota is in the car manufacturing business, it—like most modern corporations—is also a decision factory. Toyota's reputation in North America increasingly will be based as much on the quality of its decision making as on the quality of its vehicles.
It seems to me that Toyota has a tremendous opportunity to learn from this situation, to become more open to feedback and critique, and to, as the panel recommends, bring the power of the Toyota Way and the TPS to improve its management and information-sharing processes. Will they take that opportunity?]]>

Payne air handeler stoped working
Payne PF1M air handeler stopped working. no blower operation from thermostat, so I direct wired blower and it works great starts right up. Replaced the control board and the thermostat but blower still not turning on. Was using fan to circulate air in room and have used the heater in unit last winter no problems. AC part of system has never been hooked up. Using the system for heat and air circulation only. Last time fan worked unit was left on with the fan running over night.:confused1: Could ther be something I am over looking? This unit is two years old it came with the house I bought it had never been completly connected eletricaly or with charge to compressor or wiring to compressor. I only need it for the winter to heat and the summer for the fan.
Anyone have an idea of witch part to check next?
I'll tell you but only after you tell me why you used the world "witch" in place of the proper "which." Halloween funny funny ha ha or just not bright? :)
Have you checked the blower motor fan run capacitor? I'd do that if you have proper low control voltage.
A the furnace itself, without any hard wiring but stat wires and blower wires all hooked through the board you can check to see if it comes on by jumpiong the r to the w terminal. That is your call for heat. be careful, 24 volts hurts too. Use a small piece of insulated wire.
you can also jum r to the g terminal for fan on only operation, no heat. if your blower works when jumping at the furnace then you should check all wiring to and from the stat.
Hi Fan is usually for the cooling and L o Fan to Lo Med for the heating did you check all the speeds with the hot wire to the fan motor as said if you do just fan for air its R to G but the heating fan goes thru the control board on a time delay or disc sensor to have fan run called in the R to W from the stat
Blower not working
Well I tried jumping the R to G and R to W nothing happend.:(
Then I took my jack o'lantern voltage tester and found power at the fan blower capacitor, how much I dont know seemed good.:eek: That jac o'lantern does not tell me how much voltage just that it is there.
You found the problem. :thumbup:
He found the symptom, the problem is why the tyranny went out.
To be continued...
Most often a short in the thermostat wiring causes the failure of the transformer.

Upgrade 1142 from LWAP to Autonomous
I decided to upgrade a new Cisco AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9 from the factory lightweight image to an autonomous image so I can have a standalone AP in the event my WLC takes a dive. A buddy of mine asked me to post some instructions for him, so here it is. I completed this in just a few minutes, so this isn't a big deal. In my scenario, I pulled the 1142 straight out of the box and plugged the 1142 into a POE switch so DHCP to assign the 1142 an address so I could access it via my PC which is also my TFTP server for this exercise. I'm using PuTTY for serial access to the 1142 and SolarWinds TFTP Server.
1. Download your 1142 image from Cisco --- I chose c1140-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar
2. Copy your 1142 image to your TFTP folder and start your TFTP server
3. Hook up your console cable and open up PuTTY
4. Plug in your 1142 into your POE switch and ensure it'll get an IP
5. When it boots and your DHCP server gives it an IP address, you'll get a prompt (*your AP needs to get to your TFTP server)
Use PuTTY and enter in the commands in bold and modify the address of your TFTP server and image accordingly.

At this point, the 1142 is upgrading and it should reload in a minute or so with an autonomous image.

Flick Pick
Shocking but true: Edens title is meant ironically. Director Declan Reckss film, which opens on Friday, February 6, at the Starz FilmCenter, focuses on Billy (Aidan Kelly) and Breda (Eileen Walsh), a working-class Irish couple whose relationship is frequently described by their friends as ideal even though no evidence of its perfection ever appears on screen. They zombie-walk through a marriage whose sexlessness causes them to react in disparate ways; he spends every free moment in the pub, hoisting pints with the lads and ogling a ripe young woman who specializes in slow-motion hair-tossing (Sarah Greene), while she sadly masturbates in the bathtub. Walshs despair abates for a time as she prepares to go out on the town with Billy for their anniversary. But Recks, working from Eugene OBriens adaptation of his play, ladles on the gloom so heavily that any possibility of rekindled romance soon drowns. Although the presentations relentless bleakness implies that painful truths are being unearthed, the central relationships surrender to stereotypes rather than transcending them a drawback exacerbated by glacial pacing and a monochromatic tone that transforms the plot into a dreary slog toward inevitability. Eden, it aint.

Wilderness areas around Mountain Fire reopening
IDYLLWILD, Calif. - Areas of the San Jacinto Mountains closed because of the Mountain Fire will reopen to the public today.
National Forest land will open today and Mount Jacinto State Park land will open Friday.
Slated to reopen are all areas of the National Forest north of the state park -- including Marion Mountain, Seven Pines and the Deer Springs trails, and Lake ulmor. Marion Mountain, Dark Canyon, Boulder Basin and Black Mountain and Fern Basin campgrounds will also re-open, according to U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller.
The Mountain Fire, which was sparked by an electrical malfunction on private property northeast of Idyllwild early on the afternoon of July 15, was finally fully contained Tuesday, having scorched 27,531 acres and destroyed 23 structures, including seven homes. There were no serious injuries.
Miller said visitors to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway can get into the Long Valley area but will not be allowed to hike into the rest of Mount San Jacinto State Park. Park officials plan to open Little Round Valley Camp, Strawberry Junction Camp and the areas west of the Deer Springs Trail.
The Pacific Crest Trail will remain closed from Strawberry Camp/Strawberry Junction to Highway 74 in Garner Valley.
``Forest and park officials plan to re-evaluate the closure areas over the coming weeks to identify other areas that may be eligible to reopen as safety and resource protection concerns are addressed,'' Miller said.
For more information on Mount San Jacinto State Park, call (951) 569-2607 or go to www.parks.ca.gov. For more information on National Forest land, call the San Jacinto Ranger District at (909) 382-2921 or go to www.fs.usda.gov/sbnf.

WSJ Promotes Default Trutherism
Blog ››› ››› HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY
A Wall Street Journal article promoted false Republican claims which disputed the devastating effects failure to raise the debt ceiling on October 17 would have on the U.S. economy, despite recent Journal reporting which admitted default could have "cataclysmic" consequences.
In an October 9 article headlined "Obama's Default Scenario Derided," the Journal noted that according to President Obama, "if Congress doesn't raise the country's debt ceiling soon, an economic crisis with skyrocketing interest rates and a crashing stock market could follow," as the U.S. would default on its pre-existing debts -- an understanding of the manufactured impending fiscal crisis which is supported by economists and the Treasury Department.
But rather than confirm this factual assertion, the Journal instead provided a platform for Republicans who baselessly "say they don't believe" default will lead to devastating negative effects and have even "questioned what the word 'default' really means." The Journal hyped Republican claims that the White House could choose to prioritize which payments to make once the deadline hits, and claimed these misleading remarks had credence because the U.S. has never defaulted before, making the potential crisis "unchartered waters."
In reality, the Treasury Department does not have the legal authority to prioritize payments if the debt ceiling is not raised, and economists agree that congressional failure to raise the debt limit could be catastrophic, setting in motion a financial crisis in the United States and around the globe.
The "debt ceiling" was officially breached on May 17 of this year. Since that date, the Treasury has implemented "extraordinary measures" to avoid defaulting on American sovereign debt obligations by shifting funds from various accounts. The New York Times reported that these measures will be exhausted by October 17:
Economists of all political persuasions have warned that a failure to raise the debt ceiling by the Treasury's deadline of Oct. 17 could be catastrophic. The world economy's faith in the safety of Treasury debt would be shaken for years. Interest rates could shoot up, and stock prices worldwide would most likely plummet.
The Journal itself has previously reported the devastating consequences the prospect of default is already having on the worldwide economy. On October 8, the Journal reported that short-term U.S. debt prices had fallen "amid rising investor concern about the prospect of a government-debt default, sending the yield on one-month U.S. Treasury bills to its highest level since the financial crisis." The same day, the Journal reported that China had warned the U.S. of default's "global ramifications," and that banks in the United Kingdom have begun "stockpiling cash" and preparing for "cataclysmic" consequences.
Domestically, money for government employees, the military, Social Security, Medicare, food safety inspections, and more could cease or be delayed, and CNN business correspondent Alison Kosik reported that "if a default happens, there's one analyst who says that the S&P 500 could drop 45 percent."
Furthermore, the claim that the administration could choose to prioritize some payments over others in order to avoid default is false. Tony Fratto, a former Treasury Department assistant secretary and senior George W. Bush White House staffer called payment prioritization "fanciful," and Treasury Department Inspector General Eric M. Thorson reported to Congress that the Treasury had no means or capacity to prioritize certain payments over others. Slate economics blogger Matt Yglesias explained that Treasury has "no more legal authority to prioritize payments than they do to borrow extra money."
Conservative media have attempted to downplay the urgency of the upcoming deadline, with some actively advocating for default.

"ABERGUILLY (ABER-GWILI), a parish, in the union of CARMARTHEN, higher division of the hundred of ELVET . . 2 miles (E. by N.) from Carmarthen, on the road toLlandilo-Vawr; containing 2366 inhabitants. . . The village is pleasantly situated, and the meadows in the neighbourhood are watered by the rivers Towy and Guilly, over which last is a neat substantial stone bridge of three arches. The parish abounds with roofing slate of excellent quality, of which there are two quarries at present open, affording employment toabout fifty persons . . . The living is a discharged vicarage . . . The church, dedicated to St Maurice, and situated near the bank of the Towy, was made collegiate by Dr Beck, Bishop of St David's, in 1287, for twenty-two prebendaries, four priests, four choristers, and two clerks. . . .The church is a neat plain building, consisting of two aisles, without either tower or steeple . . . At Llanvihangel-uwch-Guilly is a chapel, formerly a chapel of ease . . . There are places of worship for Baptists, Independents, and Methodists. A school is endowed with £6 per annum, arising from a bequest of Griffith Lloyd in 1713, for the instruction of 12 children, and in which 50 other children are taught at the expense of their parents. . . There are also three other schools supported by weekly payments from the children, in number about 90; and eight Sunday schools . . ." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1844).]

" I cannot make these returns without expressing my decided conviction that no reliance whatever can be placed in the accuracy of the returns made in great many instances and stating my opinion that to publish them would not only tend to lead people to most erroneous conclusions. To ensure accuracy at any future time, two conditions are absolutely necessary. The condition is that the enumeration be entrusted to disinterested persons. This would prevent wilful exaggeration of which I could give shameful specimens in dissenting localities, as published in Welsh Periodicals.
The other condition referred to is that the day on which the enumeration is to take place be not made known beforehand. This could do away with the unseemly and irreligious plan of persons leagued together to run from Chapel to Chapel on a particular day for the special object of cramming different Chapels. By this plan, which has been put into operation by dissenting bodies before the 30th instant, when they have been making returns to answer their own purposes, the same person is made to represent three or four different persons according to the number of chapels he has attended on a particular Sunday and in this manner the numbers of dissenters are unduly multiplied."

Chancellor George Osborne's decision to threaten UK banks with break-up if they fail to meet rules to make them safer could make it harder for the Government to sell its huge stakes in Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds, experts warned today.
At one stage the Treasury hoped it could start selling shares in RBS, where it has an 83% stake, and Lloyds, where it has 41%, before the next General Election in May 2015. The taxpayer was briefly — at the end of 2010 and start of 2011 — sitting on a small profit on the £45 billion and £20 billion pumped into RBS and Lloyds respectively in 2008. But since Sir John Vickers' Independent Commission on Banking published its interim report suggesting "ring-fencing" of retail banks from investment banks, the shares have stayed below the price paid by the taxpayer.
Osborne's speech today and publication of the Banking Reform Bill have "muddied the waters yet again" according to one senior banker.
"The 'high stakes' approach now being introduced to the ring-fence measures presumably will make it difficult for the Government to decide the optimum time to reduce their current holdings in UK banks," said, Tony Anderson, banking partner and head of financial products at legal firm Pinsent Masons. "There could be significant political fallout for the Government from any proximity between a sell down of shares in a state-owned bank and a full separation of banking operations following a breach of the ring-fencing measures."
David Buik of Cantor Index pointed out that ring-fencing would not have prevented either the UK bailouts or Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008.
He said: "It was injudicious lending and poor credit analysis that led to the crisis. It was Northern Rock, Bradford & Bingley, HBOS and Lloyds that were the major transgressors. Not those with investment banks."
International regulators also questioned the need for ring-fencing over strengthened balance sheets.
"Higher capital and liquidity requirements are more important for stabilising banks than the separation of proprietary trading and deposit-taking business," said Jaime Caruana of the Bank for International Settlements.
Comment: Playing safe may be an own goal
George "Sword of Damocles" Osborne appears to be making sure the UK ends up with the safest banks in Europe if not the world.
He tried to take the politics out of banking reform in today's speech and instead said it was time to "reset" the industry. But he might also create the most costly and inefficient banking system in the world. If the cost of regulation and capital in the UK are raised significantly above those in other countries, banks will shift many of their profitable operations to Frankfurt or New York. We will be left with utterly safe but dull, low profit-making, domestic banks. How then will the Government sell its stakes without making the taxpayer a huge loss?

Welcome to the RI Infrastructure Bank
The Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank, formerly known as the Rhode Island Clean Water Finance Agency, was established in 1989 by the Rhode Island General Assembly as a quasi-public agency to administer certain federal and state programs relating to municipal or community waste water and drinking water financial assistance. In June of 2015, Governor Gina Raimondo and the Rhode Island General Assembly enacted legislation renaming the Agency as the Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank. The legislation also expanded the programs to be administered by the Bank, including commercial and residential Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs. Other new programs include the development of the Efficient Buildings Fund, intended to provide low cost financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in public buildings around Rhode Island, and the creation of a Brownsfield remediation revolving fund. The Bank will continue to work with its many state and federal governmental partners in the development and administration of its programs, and continues to be governed by its Board of Directors. Please contact Executive Director Jeff Diehl with any questions regarding the legislation or the name change.

- Who Must Apply for an Operating Permit Renewal?
Pursuant to 310 CMR 7.00:Appendix C(4)(b)4, an Operating Permit Renewal form must be submitted no later than 6 months prior to expiration of the current Operating Permit.

Since the timeline to issue a significant modification may overlap the submittal due date for the renewal application, it is recommended that they be submitted concurrently.

Pursuant to 310 CMR 7.00:Appendix C(12), the Department may grant an application shield when a timely and administratively complete Operating Permit Renewal Application is received. An application shield allows the facility to continue operations (as the approved Operating Permit allows) while the renewal application is being reviewed, even if the review extends beyond the expiration date of the approved permit. Unless a facility obtains an application shield, the right to operate the facility terminates upon the expiration of its Operating Permit.
Pursuant to 310 CMR 7.00:Appendix C(4)(c)5, final action by the Department shall be taken on each Operating Permit Renewal Application within (9) nine months of receipt of a complete form AQ OP12B.

Children in some London boroughs have lost or had fillings in almost a quarter of their teeth by the age of five due to decay.
A major study of more than 130,000 five-year-olds in England revealed that London had failed to mirror advances in oral health seen in the rest of the country.
It found that about a third of the capital's children had one or more decayed teeth.
Those in Enfield and Haringey with decay had an average of 4.67 teeth missing or filled, compared with the national average of 3.38. A five-year-old typically has 20 teeth.
The city's best rates of "perfect" teeth were seen in Richmond.
London, which was the only region to see the level of decay increase since a 2008 survey, also had one of the highest rates of sepsis in the children surveyed.
Dr Yvonne Doyle, London regional director for Public Health England, said: "It is disappointing that the percentage of five-year-olds with tooth decay has plateaued in London where other regions have seen promising reductions.
"There are wide inequalities in dental health across the city and this mirrors other health patterns for Londoners such as rates of childhood obesity and differences in life expectancy."
She advised parents to limit the amount of sugary food and drinks in their child's diet and ensure their teeth were brushed with a toothpaste containing fluoride.

my house is making me sick every which a way
Thank you for your time.
Sounds like you need legal advice.
If it is that small off a town, then you may have to go out of the area for a lawyer!
You do need to get out of the house now.
i know...
Hello, cleaned up your first two posts somewhat in MS Word just to make your dilemma easier to follow and hopefully lead to some better answers.
"Hello. I recently was pushed into buying a house from my now ex-employer after they shoved my 2 boys and I into a horse barn. They told me I had to get out of the barn and offered me a house that they had just renovated. it looked nice and what did I know. Her daughter was living in it for 3 months after the renovation and then mysteriously wanted out. They said it was because she wasn't paying.
Anyhow, I had no idea what a home inspector was and I trusted these people 100%. It has now been 6 months and have found out the wiring made the house a fire hazard, now updated again. Was unaware of the asbestos shingles on the outside of the house. The paperwork I read on the house and there statements were that the house was wood. Plumbing needs to be redone correctly. I guess capping off the pipe under the kitchen sink is a no no and I have a methane gas problem. The roof was not updated in 2006 as the paperwork stated, now has new 2011 roof. The air ducts were so so. So moldy the black crap just hung inside the ducts so gross, the air duct man said it was considered hazardous material. And the kicker is there still seems to be some kind of problem here.
I do not feel well, my 2 boys have now developed moderate allergies to mold from this house, after blood testing, 11 month old with bloody noses, unexplainable, and dizziness and headaches and cloudy minded and disorientated. Don't know what's going on. I'm out of money now that I am 10k into this house only after 6 months! I still pay every month owner financing but I wish I could get out of this contract.
But since I am dealing with a millionaire and his mistress in a small town I don't have a leg to stand on. Plus they put the house 'as is'. He has the town wrapped. So now I am trying to figure out what I can do to make this house healthy and safe. I am scared for my children's health.
I know but the contract states 'as is'. I did not have a lawyer help me. I used their closing attorney and he said he needed a week to prepare it after signing. When I got it back things were omitted and new things were added! I am screwed. Their attorney even crossed out mold/fungi, roof, and wood destroying organisms on the paperwork. When i got my paperwork, it's not even there anymore, it even states that I waived my right to a jury trial and if I win I pay their fees and if they win I pay my own fees and their fees! It also says they are not responsible for any problems with the property, yet they can come whenever and check on the property and tell me to make updates and what not and if I don't it's considered default.
And they have first rights to minerals on the property because it is commercial. I don't know, I pay the taxes and hold the insurance. Found out that the symptoms I feel are more related to methane gas poisoning, which again goes back to the kitchen sink!
Agh, I don't have any more money to fix this. And if I go to court, I am so scared of losing that I have to keep the house and then them calling the note by the end of the week and kicking me out and having to owe all of the money anyway. Plus I have been told that the guy wouldn't think twice about paying someone to hurt us. I'm stuck.
They told me I had to keep top notch insurance on the house in case it ever burnt up and now I'm finding out why. I honestly believe that they had the house rigged to burn. The methane gas, bad electrical, junction boxes with no covers, wired spliced and taped together, and not to mention the 'chewed' charred wires behind a wall to an outlet in my boy's room. This house is a death trap but I have no where else to go and no way out. Just to sit here and be sick til something else bad happens. If I had a ton of money I would fix this house to code and be happy, but I don't. And it's all my fault. I've been told that I'm stupid and stupidity is no excuse to escape the laws."
Do whatever you can to make the house livable and breathable. Do you have any relatives the kids can stay with for their health? The asbestos shingles are not a problem unless they are disturbed. I have them on my house. I find them to be relatively low maintenance.
The bulk of your electrical worries can possibly be fixed by you relatively cheaply. Junction boxes and covers are fairly cheap to purchase. The illegal splices should be placed in junction boxes. New wire is not so cheap. I would consider just shutting off some of the more questionable circuits like the one in your son's bedroom. Unfortunately, if they hold the mortgage, they do have some say about the condition of the house. It does sound like you should consult with an attorny. At least in my state, many of them offer a free initial consult. A lawyer can tell you if your contract is even legal in the first place.
Well, you could take another approach, the news media. Is there a local TV station with a "investigative reporter" for consumer fraud? If so, call them up and talk to them. The millionaire pushing around the mother and kids makes great press. You may be able to pressure them into doing something...
I doubt anything would happen to you once the camera shows up at his doorstep asking questions. He wouldn't want additional attention and focus on his business dealings and personal life. Remember, he won't know until someone inquires from the press, then it's too late for him to do anything. You could always tell the news person you are afraid of him, they will know how to handle it.
That is actually good news. You can probably get it replaced for free.
ETA: Well, maybe, maybe not. I guess it depends where your home is located...
There are two states with settlements to class action lawsuites, Fl. and La. If you are outside of these states, then you probably should look at who in your area has filed a lawsuit, if it's been given a class status and then have your drywall verified as Chinese.
A few thoughts:
You need a lawyer. If what you say is true, there is definitely fraud here. And you should file a complaint against the closing attorney with the state Bar Association.
I'd also notify the building department of all the work done without permits. Whoever did it can be forced to tear it out and redo.
Don't know the laws in FL, but in many locations such a house could not legally be occupied or even sold except as a teardown.
Who holds the mortgage? Unless it's your ex-boss, advise them of the situation. In any case, notify the lender that you will make no more payments. What could they do? Foreclose? They don't want that house.
If, as you say, you are willing to forfeit your down payment, I'd just walk away if I were you. The house is hazardous to your health and dangerous. You need to get out of it.

In 1935 the municipality bought a large field- and beach area from the manor Moesgaard for public recreational purposes. In the summer this is one of the most popular beaches in Denmark. At the same time an area with forest along the beach was bought too and it was named the The Beach Forest.
Many things to explore
At Abelshoved you will find a group of trees called "Sømærketræerne" and at the foot of the hillside on the very beach you can see the Kristuskilden, a small sparsely waterleading opening in the hillside. The Fiskerhuset is situated further south not far from the fall of Giber Aa (river) that leads directly into the sea.

In November 2011 the IPFW Learning Commons was opened on the second floor of Helmke Library. The campus Learning Commons is a student-centered academic space, a significant physical and virtual learning space outside the classroom. The Learning Commons partners of the Writing Center, Helmke librarians and staff, IT services computing, Studio M, IPFW student government, IPSGA, and student workers are working together to assure student, faculty and staff convenient access to human, electronic and print resources.
IPSGA has been a consistent and generous supporter of the Learning Commons. The student representatives on the Learning Commons Council provide input into the needs and design of the Learning Commons. Initially, IPSGA funding was used to purchase soft furniture that was chosen by students during a "Sit-on-It" campaign where samples of chairs, ottomans, sofas and tables were available for students to test. More recently, IPSGA has purchased laptops and iPads to be loaned and purchased comfortable and moveable tables and chairs for the Learning Commons. IPSGA weekly Monday Senate meetings (open to all) are held in the Learning Commons.
The Learning Commons space has become a hub of academic activity from group study to a venue for academic events, such as Featured Faculty Lecture Series, Undergraduate History Conference, in addition to the IPSGA Senate meetings. In spring 2013 the Learning Commons hosted the first Student Research and Creative Endeavor Poster Symposium which filled the second floor and impressed faculty, students, and guests alike.
The Learning Commons Council works with students, faculty and administration to fulfill the vision, mission, and strategic goals for the Learning Commons:
See you in the Learning Commons!

An Alliance
We are asked to join an Alliance of old and new safari hands and this fills October with an incredible amount of work planning just how it all would fall into place. The freedom offered by such an arrangement- with my wife Tati and I not running Base Camp full time was too good to miss. Suddenly we are concentrating on designing, organizing and guiding safaris full time and not having to deal with the day to day supply work that we had been doing, not actively running a whole company.
The Alliance would take care of our staff, supplies, bookings, marketing, licenses and accounting. This would free us up tremendously. We went for it.

Computing our Future
01/10/2014 - European Schoolnet
Coding is becoming increasingly a key competence which will have to be acquired by all young students and increasingly by workers in a wide range of industries and professions. Coding is part of logical reasoning and represents one of the key skills which are part of what is now called "21st century skills".
During July and August 2014 European Schoolnet launched a survey with its Ministries of Education to get a more consistent picture on the topic of computer programming and coding skills in national, regional or school curricula across European countries. This report presents the main findings of this survey where 20 Ministries of Education gave an overview of their current initiatives and plans.
Among the main findings: computer programming and coding is already part of the curriculum in 12 countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic*, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Ireland, Italy*, Lithuania*, Poland, Portugal and the UK (England). This integration is mostly through national curriculum requirements, although in the countries asterisked this happens at regional or local level. 7 countries - Belgium Flanders, Spain, Finland, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Turkey plan to integrate Coding/programming in the curriculum.

The most certain way to prevent anyone or any company from doing something is to utter the words, "national security." A Chinese mining company China Northwest Nonferrous International Investment Company, arranged to purchase the Nevada Fitzgerald company as part of its plan for global diversification. But, to some officials in the Obama administration the thought of having a Chinese owned mining company in Nevada raised serious concerns about the national security of the United States. A mine owned by the Fitzgerald company is sixty miles from Fallon Naval Air station which is used for tactical aviation training.
Let's face it. Everyone knows how the Chinese are sneaky and they are good at making tunnels. If they owned the American company, what would prevent them from building a sixty mile tunnel, come up under the Fallon airfield, and steal a plane or maybe kidnap some of the pilots? Once the Chinese get control of an airfield in Nevada used by the American navy there is no end to the destruction they could cause in America. First, they get an airfield, then they get a army base, then they tunnel under the White House, and there goes the entire Obama administration down a hole leading to China!

King Fleming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter "King" Fleming (May 4, 1922 – April 1, 2014) was an American jazz pianist and bandleader.[1] He was born in Chicago, Illinois.
Between 1960 and 1965, he recorded three piano trio albums for Argo and Cadet Records, which were Phil and Leonard Chess's jazz labels. He also appeared on two singles released locally by singer George Green.
After many years during which his trio worked steadily in the Chicago area without drawing interest from the recording industry, King Fleming resurfaced on the Southport label in 1996.
Fleming died at the age of 91 at a retirement home in Manteno, Illinois on April 1, 2014.[2]

E street: Mercedes-AMG chairman has revealed more about the upcoming E63, which will offer more power and performance than the E43 (left) revealed earlier this month.
27 March 2016
By BYRON MATHIOUDAKIS in NEW YORK
MERCEDES-AMG is putting the finishing touches to what it says will be a worthy
and groundbreaking torchbearer of the respected E63 nameplate.
Speaking with GoAuto at the New York motor show last week, Mercedes-AMG
chairman Tobias Moers revealed that the upcoming W213-series E63 will be
launched in Europe early next year, with other markets such as Australia to
follow soon after.
Along with delivering better performance, sharper handling, more grip, a
cushier ride and more excitement than any previous iteration, it will also
usher in the first all-wheel drive version to be sold in Australia, underlining
the sheer extent of change that is occurring.
It also ensures that rivals such as the Audi RS6 quattro no longer have the AWD
advantage to themselves.
"The next E-Class will have around 600hp (about 440kW)… and higher torque too,"
he boasted.
"It's going to be a little bit of a different engine, but still with
4.0-litres, and we'll have it with two power setups. The first one was brought
to market with the GT S and C63, and this (revised) second one with a
higher-output level, that we will bring to market with the E63."
The outgoing W212-series E63 AMG S that retails from $250,540 plus on-road
costs delivers 430kW and 800Nm from a 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8, reflecting the
huge efficiency potential of the downsized engine.
As widely reported, the new E63 will switch to a nine-speed wet-clutch MCT
multi-clutch transmission known as the AMG Speedshift 9G-tronic, tuned
especially for faster and smoother responses than the previous 7G-tronic item.
Developed in conjunction with the AMG-designed and engineered AMG Performance
4Matic AWD system, the powertrain will represent a sizeable advancement for the
super sports sedan.
"The E63 will make the biggest step we have ever made from generation to
generation," Mr Moers revealed.
"It's a new all-wheel-drive system with a drift mode, it's 9G-tronic, it's new
driving dynamics… it's going to be four-wheel drive with right-hand drive.
"I think it is on another, unexpected level from us."
Whether the new E63's AMG Performance 4Matic AWD system is the same as the just
announced E43's is unknown.
The latter, with around 295kW and 520Nm from a 3.0-litre bi-turbo V6 can sprint
from zero to 100km/h in just 4.5 seconds (on the way to an electronically
limited 250km/h) and features a rear-biased torque distribution with a
front-to-rear ratio of 31:69 percent.
AMG Airmatic Adaptive Sport Suspension is also part of the E43's tantalising

292 Tasting Notes
Warm cinnamon raisin bread. That is exactly what this cup tasted like – so delicious!
There is a rich sweetness of cinnamon and spices, combined with the fruitiness of raisins, and fresh bread. Lovely and fragrant!
Yes, this sounds so good. The question is, will it taste like Cinammon bread to me? It's ok, it's rhetorical, you don't have to answer. I always read reviews and then when it's my turn, not so much, not with straight teas anyway.
haha, I know what you mean. :)
I drank this without recalling my previous review and although I knew it was going to be somewhat of this flavor profile, I was surprised by how much like raisin cinnamon bread it was – really good. Next time I make it I hope it turns out the same!
Hmmm…makes me wonder what would happen if you threw some golden raisins in a steeping basket with something else…
This morning this reminds me of mildly spiced, creamy potatoes and mushrooms that are lightly sprinkled with sugar.
I could have brewed this a bit stronger I think but will re-steep the next cup a bit longer. Delicious.
It is nice once in awhile and re-steeps quite well also. I think Verdant is getting the new spring picking in soon which I bet will be good – I may have to order a bit more! If you like, I could send you a bit of what I have so you could try it.
Hey! I just realized you are a fellow Canadian! I would love to try some. PM me with what you want in return, everything in my cupboard is available and I have a teavivre order that should be getting here any day now if you want to wait to see what I've got then :)
This always turns out so good. Delicious and comforting!
Just what I needed today. I had this before going for a tooth extraction and I think I'll sip on some more a little while as well.
I had this sample in my cupboard that I have been saving, and since it is a gray and rainy day here, decided to try it today.
I have never had a Lapsang Souchong tea before, and it certainly does have a smokey smell of pine and peat which carries over to the brewed cup.
The taste is quite smokey in flavor as well and reminds me of campfires made with fresh pine logs, but there is also a sweetness to it.
Very interesting and tasty, and although this wouldn't be my favorite type of tea, I am happy to have tried it and would have the occasional cup for something different.
I pretty much feel the same about lapsang souchong. I drink it when I wish I could be camping :) Not an everyday tea by any means.
Ooh, that sounds like a good combination! l'll keep that in mind… I haven't had a bagel with cream cheese in awhile – yum.
I eat it once in a blue moon, but it's soo good. You can eat it with any cheese no bagel haha. Cheddar is good too.
Love cheddar too, especially aged. I ate the last piece yesterday so will need more of that as well. This morning I ate oatmeal which is always one of my favorites – maybe not so good with this tea as cheese would be. :)
I haven't had a bagel in years, but I came across a gluten free bagel recipe, which I really need to try out! Of course, I can't have cream cheese either (dammit), but maybe I could spead some coconut butter on it…or guac :)
Regarding this tea, I enjoy it plain, but it is also especially awesome with a little maple syrup added for an occasional treat!
Coconut butter or avocado both would be good. : )
I was thinking I should have tried this tea with maple syrup but forgot about that while I was drinking it! Next time for sure! One interesting thing was how the aroma of this tea seemed to stay with me all day – probably because it was so new and different to me.
This was actually was the first tea that caught my eye at Davidstea in awhile. Coconut and chocolate…perhaps I was hopeful it would be somewhat like Harney&Sons Soho blend…but it isn't.
While at the store, I was originally planning to get 25 grams or so, but as it turned out, this was the tea they were sampling, so tried a small sample glass of it first. And I'm glad I did, for although the dry blend smells quite nice and rich and promising, the taste does not nearly compare. Any chocolate or coconut or nuttiness of any kind is lacking, and although often the samples in store are not as good as when brewed at home, there was just something off about the taste that I can't describe…an aftertaste of some sort. So disappointing! As it turned out I didn't buy any to take home – perhaps it would have tasted better if brewed differently, but didn't want to even bother. Sigh.
It does smell so good! I bet it will be better at home – maybe I'll end up picking some up next time just to try. I hope you like yours when you make it! : )
No, I don't think it was the coconut.. it was the flavoring they use I think.
I didn't know coconut has a short shelf life though.
This one is a tricky one. I brewed it several times and thought it was boring, but then I over leafed it just a bit, steeped it at recommended temperature for 5 minutes and added a bit of milk and it was very good. As it cools down, the flavour declines significantly though.
