Unfair Dismissal Solicitors - Sheffield Compensation Claims
Employment Termination
English law provides protection to an employee from unfair dismissal however an employer is allowed to terminate employment if it is carried out in a fair and reasonable manner. The termination of employment can be lawful if the employee cannot properly carry out their job or if the employee is guilty of serious misconduct or if they are unable to work for any reason. Termination may also be reasonable if it is by way of redundancy which may give entitlement to compensation for employees with more than two years service. If the redundancy is a sham then any dismissal is automatically unfair potentially leading to an unfair dismissal compensation claim. Our unfair dismissal solicitors use the no win no fee* scheme and offer advice at no cost for compensation claims in Sheffield. Just call our helpline, or complete the contact form or email our solicitors offices to find out if you have a potential claim in the Sheffield Employment Tribunal.
Time Limits
Time limits apply and a claim must be filed in the Sheffield Employment Tribunal within three months of the termination however the Sheffield Employment Tribunal can, at their discretion, extend this period. Do not delay in taking legal advice from an unfair dismissal solicitor or the opportunity to claim compensation may be lost forever.
Lawful Termination
In order for an unfair dismissal solicitor to establish that the termination of employment is fair an employer must be shown to have acted in a reasonable manner. An employer is required to fully investigate the situation leading up to the termination and to be able to fully justify the dismissal failing which the employee may have a valid claim for compensation. To justify termination an employer must show that it was for conduct, capability, redundancy, illegality or for some other substantial reason. An employer can legally terminate employment in the following circumstances :-
An employee must behave in a reasonable manner and if his conduct is unacceptable including theft, dishonesty, corruption, drug abuse, drunkenness, abusive behaviour, unjustified absences, regular lateness or unsuitable appearance then an employer may dismiss the employee without fear of retribution from the Employment Tribunal in Sheffield.
If an employee is unable to do the job in a satisfactory manner then the employer is entitled to replace him with some who can do the job.
Dismissal can be fair if it is by reason of redundancy however there are detailed procedures which must be followed by an employer if the termination is not to be deemed unfair dismissal. It is almost always worth an unfair dismissal solicitor considering the redundancy process as there are many hurdles where an employer can fall thereby giving an employee the opportunity to claim compensation always providing that the employee has been employed by that employer for at least two years.
If continuation of employment causes a breach of the law then the employment can be terminated legally. This particularly applies in regards to work permits for employees from outside the EU.
Dismissal can be fair for other substantial reasons and an Employment Tribunal is duty bound to consider any new situations that may arise that they have not dealt with before.
Unlawful Termination
Unfair dismissal may arise in any number of circumstances if termination of employment occurred due to any of the following reasons :-
If the employee suffered from discrimination which includes inappropriate or unfair treatment due to an employees race, sex, religious belief, disability or sexuality.
Employees are entitled by law to be members of a Trade Union and to take part in union activities and employees are also entitled to refuse to belong to a union. If the employee is dismissed because they did, or did not join a union then the dismissal may be unfair.
Employees are entitled to take leave including maternity leave, paternity leave, ante-natal leave, parental leave and dependants leave and any termination due to an employee actually taking their entitlement to recognised leave is unfair.
It is not lawful to dismiss employees who take part in industrial action for less than eight weeks. There may be certain unusual circumstances where the period may be extended.
Employees are entitled to refuse to work more than 48 hours and dismissal for refusing to work more than 48 hours is unfair.


text: Our lab's first model products will be a set of prototypes of the Lotka-Volterra (LV) model of predator-prey competition. If lions (predators) chase gazelles (prey), then there are mathematical relationships that can be expressed to capture the overall population change resulting from this effect. The LV model was proposed in 1910 according to the Wikipedia article as a "theory of autocatalytic chemical reactions," and then extended in 1920 for organic systems. In the model, we find the fairly general terms present that make the dynamics interesting--growth (birth), decay (death), and interaction effects modeled as a multiplicative effect of the population variables. You'll find these same terms in many other mathematical models. Returning to the lab, we chose this model out of thin air based on some sketches I made on the office whiteboard seen above. Unfortunately, there are some errors in the design, but it was some sort of beginning. Despite the confusing juxtaposition of figures, we observe a transition from equation to block model, and then to an analog model based on water flow. The idea for the spherical floats at the surface of the water will be familiar to all those who have had to correct leaky toilets containing older ball-cock supply valves. The redesigns and creative prototypes of LV will be unleashed in future issues of the blog over the next month.

Yes I meant to say you can't have one port to two hosts simultaneously. While it doesn't have quite
the same uses as uPNP, it's arguable more secure since you still have to manually configure the
ports. Although now that I mention that, I think I remember there are certain routers with more
robust uPNP implementations which don't just allow anything to open up any port. Instead I think you
can limit the ports and hosts.

I am using htdig to index pages generated on the fly by a program (HyperNews)
that checks if there are strings like image/gif or */* in the HTTP_ACCEPT
Htdig doesn't set the variable and HyperNews decides to send htdig a url that
ends in .html?nogifs
One problem is that urls that have the .html? pattern must be in my
exclude_urls var in the config file.
I modified HN to check if htdig matched in HTTP_USER_AGENT, and then behave as
if HTTP_ACCEPT had the strings it wanted. It works, but I would like to know
if there's a way to make htdig set the variable.

Niall Horan and his bandmates give a taste of what's to come when they hit the road across the United States later this month.
One Direction charm a number of screaming female fans with their romantic lyrics in a live video taken from one of their tour stops. The British boyband serenade the crowd with a love song called "More Than This", which is taken from their debut studio album "Up All Night".
The video will be included in the boydband's "Up All Night: The Live Tour DVD" that is set to hit stores across the United States on May 29. Five days prior, they will kick off North American leg of their roadshow in Fairfax, Virginia. Due to overwhelming demand, they set up a headlining concert at Madison Square Garden on December 3.
"Our fans are simply the best in the world," Niall Horan said. "The support they have shown us has been incredible, and we're all so grateful to each and every one of them. We can't wait to see everyone this summer at Madison Square Garden and, of course, when we play our world tour in 2013."

text: I know that there are already a million threads on this, but none of them seem to be conclusive. I'm looking for a reasonably priced (meaning $50 or less) pair of jeans that will fit me well. I'm approximately 5'4 170 with 25" thighs. I typically wear 34x30. If the jeans are loose fit, it fits fine but usually looks bad. Like Levi 567. I have some relaxed fit jeans from Gap which are ok, but a little tight and slightly uncomfortable. Slim fit is impossible. Jeans with a small leg opening at the bottom look bad on me, so I usually try to go with bootcut jeans. Keep in mind that my waist is less than 34, but my hips are significantly bigger and all modern jeans are low rise. What kind of jeans would guys recommend?

Pros: Made me gain confidence and years younger. Looked very natural. Very little pain. The doc. at this place gave me dental block cuz I told him I am afraid of needles and pain.
I didn't get any bruising and very little swelling which disappeared completely on the 3rd day. The only pain I had was on the 3rd day early morning when I woke up there was a some pain surround the injection site area, but it gone away within 2 to 3 hrs. It was horrible pain that I need medication for.
Cons: I can feel the radiesse under my skin, but you cannot see it.

I have read through as many of the 105 FAQ pages as I can stand. I have a 2006 330 CiC (E46) without OEM navigation, and am investigating the Dynavin. Can you help me with the following:
1) I have factory Bluetooth (am able to use my iPhone over the radio). I saw that this will become obsolete with the install, but can I still use the factory microphone?
2) What are the added functions with the D99 unit? Would I need them if I have a factory Bluetooth system? Is D99 the V6 system?
3) What is the lead time for D95 and D99 orders?
4) Is the US TV tuner now available? (FAQ says hopefully by end of 2010).
5) Can I access email directly on-screen through iPhone interface?
6) I have a Passport QI45 radar detector and would like to pipe the small display unit in. Any advice on how you would approach that?
Thank you for the response.

Friends Without Borders
Afghanistan is one of the most desperate, beat up places in the world. Forbes magazine has called it the most dangerous nation on earth. Over 30 years of war have left 2 million people dead, and much of the country in chaos. But even in the most troubled places on earth, there always seems to be a little group of people who refuse to accept the world as it is and insist on building the world they dream of, a little group of people who believe despite the evidence and watch the evidence change.
A few years ago, I began to hear about a little group of young people in Afghanistan doing exactly that. Many of them had seen their loved ones, friends and family killed. They were tired of blood. Tired of war. And so they began to organize, and educate, and train themselves for peace. They studied the heroes of nonviolence, Gandhi and King. A few of them even travelled to India to learn nonviolence and community from Gandhi's ashram. Now they have their own ashram in Kabul, where dozens of them live together and work for peace.
And they have begun to build a movement: marching in the streets, planting trees, building parks as monuments of peace. They started wearing blue scarves as a symbolic reminder that there is one blue sky that connects us all, and now their little movement is catching the world's attention. It is a movement of friends without borders.
The motto of their movement is this: "A little bit of love is stronger than all the weapons in the world."

The latest loss will affect Rick 'unbelievably' but 'there's going to be some very direct demands upon him of survival,' says showrunner Scott M. Gimple of Andrew Lincoln's character.
Blood was shed in the midseason finale of "The Walking Dead" as it had been anticipated. The second showdown between Rick and the Governor claimed victims from both parties, with Rick and friends once again losing one member who had been an important part of the group.
At the beginning of the episode, [SPOILER ALERT!] the Governor took Michonne and Hershel hostage to force Rick leave the prison. The former Woodbury leader turned down Rick's offer to share the prison and killed Hershel with Michonne's sword, starting out the fight.
Michonne finally got her revenge, stabbing the Governor with the katana he used to kill Hershel, but it was Lilly who put an end to the villain by shooting him in the head. Nonetheless, the survivors could not save their prison since the fence had been torn down by the Governor. The group is now scattered and baby Judith is presumably dead after Rick found her empty and bloody carrier.
Giving a look at what will come next after the deadly episode, a promo for the midseason return has been released. It sees Tyreese on the road, Michonne in the woods, Glenn and Maggie separated, and Carl and Rick in a house. Rick is physically unfit and Carl, for an unknown reason, is shouting to his father, "Wake up! Wake up!"
Plot synopsis for the first episode in February is not available just yet, but showrunner Scott M. Gimple says they won't jump too far ahead after the events in the midseason finale. "There's a lot to tell in the aftermath of what just happened," he says, adding, "We will absolutely find out more about the rats and the person who seemed to dissect that rabbit that Tyreese found in the tombs before The Governor showed up."
Asked where the survivors head after leaving the prison, Gimple won't give the answer, but coyly says that some parts of the storyline will stick to the comic but there are also differences. "There's going to be a lot of familiar stuff, brand new stuff and remixed stuff," he teases. "There are some things where you will totally know them and hopefully be expecting them and then there will be stuff that's brand new that you have no idea if it's coming but it will circle around to moments from the comic."
Gimple also refuses to confirm whether Judith is dead. "There are a lot of walkers around there as well. It did not look good and I don't want to say one way or another but what you see tells a story," he says.
On how Hershel's death affects the group, particularly Rick, Gimple explains, "Hershel was the embodiment of a civilized and humanistic approach...Especially for Rick. Hershel was the driving force beyond - Carl and Judith - to Rick's change when we join him at the beginning of the season."
"Everything he tried to achieve had been taken away from him over the first five episodes and now he's lost the person who walked him through that. ...it isn't just shock death. We're going to see now with all these things taken away from Rick if he can come back from this. Moving into the next season and a half, the loss of Hershel will be felt and will be this driving element toward Rick's character."
Losing Hershel, Judith and the prison at the same time will affect Rick "unbelievably," but he won't react like the time when Lori died. "This is a different loss and will affect him differently," Gimple says. "When he lost Lori, he was at a place surrounded by fences with brick buildings. One could argue that he had time to mourn or deal with it -- or not [deal with it] as he did. He's messed up physically from that fight with The Governor and now he's off in the world, that's where we left him. He's in a very different situation where there's going to be some very direct demands upon him of survival."
As for Maggie and Beth, Hershel's death "helps define both of them into who they become and it affects them very deeply in this next half season and beyond. Hershel's death, the loss of the prison, civilization and everything they built up up, this has all been taken away from them and they are moving into very uncharted emotional waters."
"The Walking Dead" will return with the second half of season 4 on February 9 on AMC.

The Port of London Authority (PLA) is concerned that roots from hundreds of trees on the south-west London stretch damage the bank's flood defences.
A PLA spokesman said: "It's our view that the only course of action is to remove these trees."
But charity Wildlife Aid said the move would deprive numerous birds and animals of their nesting sites.
Breeding season
The PLA has begun to cut down trees from the area which they fear compromise the bank's protective wall.
Spokesman Jim Trimmer said: "These trees are primarily self-seeded trees, they are not the mature specimens that can be seen on the back of the tow path."
But Wildlife Aid head vet nurse Sarah Cowan criticised the "drastic course of action".
"It is the beginning of the breeding season for all the birds and mammals that nest in the trees," she said.
"To carry out this work at this time of year is probably quite irresponsible and leaving a lot of the animals without their nesting sites and having to move off."
Actress Imogen Stubbs and designer Jasper Conran, who live nearby, are among those who are also convinced that felling the trees is not the answer.
"It destroys this area completely - it destroys the environment, the bird life, the animal life, the beauty for the millions of people who use it," the actress said.
"And when it's done, it's done - there's no going back on cutting down a tree."
The PLA said it would carry out further consultations before any more work was done to the bank.

We have shown that 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-a-D-glucopyranose (a-PGG), an orally effective hypoglycemic small molecule, binds to insulin receptors and activates insulin-mediated glucose transport. Insulin has been shown to bind to its receptors on platelets and inhibit platelet activation. In this study we tested our hypothesis that if insulin possesses anti-platelet properties then insulin mimetic small molecules should mimic antiplatelet actions of insulin.
Incubation of human platelets with insulin or a-PGG induced phosphorylation of insulin receptors and IRS-1 and blocked ADP or collagen induced aggregation. Pre-treatment of platelets with a-PGG inhibited thrombin-induced release of P-selectin, secretion of ATP and aggregation. Addition of ADP or thrombin to platelets significantly decreased the basal cyclic AMP levels. Pre-incubation of platelets with a-PGG blocked ADP or thrombin induced decrease in platelet cyclic AMP levels but did not alter the basal or PGE1 induced increase in cAMP levels. Addition of a-PGG to platelets blocked agonist induced rise in platelet cytosolic calcium and phosphorylation of Akt. Administration of a-PGG (20 mg kg-1) to wild type mice blocked ex vivo platelet aggregation induced by ADP or collagen.
These data suggest that a-PGG inhibits platelet activation, at least in part, by inducing phosphorylation of insulin receptors leading to inhibition of agonist induced: (a) decrease in cyclic AMP; (b) rise in cytosolic calcium; and (c) phosphorylation of Akt. These findings taken together with our earlier reports that a-PGG mimics insulin signaling suggest that inhibition of platelet activation by a-PGG mimics antiplatelet actions of insulin.

Memorial Day to most Americans has two sides. One is the holiday's original intent: An occasion to honor our nation's service members who fell in battle, celebrate their memories and cherish the freedoms they sacrificed to preserve.
The other side, and one many others put front and center, includes the usual festivities marking the unofficial start of summer: Cookouts, parades, festivals and a day of swimming or boating on the lake.
It's fine to spend our Monday away from work pursuing fun and leisure; after all, our quality of life is what our nation's warriors fought so hard and so well to maintain. But let's not let the first part of the holiday, the one that really counts, get covered up by the barbecue sauce and sunscreen, and become forgotten.
Many veterans who lived to see their comrades in arms lost in battle would like the holiday centered more on its original meaning. They join us at the parades and concerts to mark the occasion, but they also chafe at the commercial and political trappings that often attach themselves to such events and distract from the true intent of the day.
They remember the faces of their fellow soldiers, marines and sailors, frozen in youth for all time, never to age gracefully and share tales of the battle at reunions. Instead, only their names remain to be shared at such events, and only by those closest to them: Family, friends and colleagues in combat. It's too easy for the rest of us to forget them if we allow ourselves to do so.
However, they deserve to be remembered by all of us. Their lives were cut short in wars fought from our own backyards to the other side of the world, by bayonets, musket balls and roadside bombs, on islands and mountaintops, deserts and jungles, against Nazis and Taliban, but all had one thing in common: They wore the uniform and fought under the flag of the United States. They were and are our countrymen and countrywomen, and we could not live the way we do without them.
There are many solemn remembrances on this day that pay tribute to them. Scouts leave flags in cemeteries. Patriotic concerts pay respects in song. The parades held in their honor.
But is it enough? And do we make enough effort to remember them, not just on the last Monday in May but the rest of the year as well?
It's easy to forget. As we go on with our daily lives and head back to work on Tuesday, the toil of those who have worn, and still wear, the battle armor can fade quickly from our memories.
That's especially the case when we have campaigns that wage on for years — now more than a decade in Afghanistan after eight years in Iraq. U.S. troops still serve every day in harm's way in the Middle East, trying to root out the jihadists and restore some sense of stability in war-torn nations.
Our troops still are fighting and dying, not in the numbers seen previously but any American casualty is notable. And with the exit of U.S. troops set for the end of the year, as that war winds down, the danger may increase.
And when they come home, the nation faces another challenge: Providing health and other crucial benefits for the thousands who need them. The Veterans Administration already is overwhelmed with such needs, but it should remain a top priority. Those who serve so nobly and give so much deserve that from us.
It's all part of why our current veterans and those taken from us in recent wars deserve our ongoing respect and tributes, just as we still honor those lost in the Revolutionary and Civil wars, World Wars I and II, Vietnam and Korea.
They all count the same because they all fought for the same goal: Make the world safer for America and our allies.
For their sake, all of them, let's make sure we continue to keep the "memorial" in Memorial Day. Enjoy the parades and lake, munch on watermelon and hot dogs, and take in the Sousa tunes with relish. Let's just not let the fun and frivolity cloud the true meaning of this day and the courageous American heroes who made it possible.

We recently invited schoolchildren out to our farm. One little boy in a wheelchair held a duck in his arms for the first time. That experience wont happen anymore if we dont receive approval from the Preservation Trust Fund to save this farm, said Theresa Tompkins, currently owner with her husband John, of Golden Eagle Farm in Atco, Camden County.
Embroiled in a debate in an application process that has been all but denied by the Camden County Open Space Committee, whose approval is needed for further consideration, the Tompkins may not be able, without preservation funds, to meet their obligations with the mortgage holder, the previous owner.
The 78-acre farm is in an area zoned rural residential. Income is derived from boarding horses and selling hay. The problem is, there isnt enough income to meet the mortgage payments on their $225,000 loan. Their former business, a limousine service, was severely impacted by Sept. 11 and is now out of service. John, 65, now collects Social Security. A balloon payment is due in December.
In the meantime, the Tompkins have been pulling out all of the stops to enlist the support of various officials from federal to state and county levels. The response has been generally stated that, while they are concerned about the possible loss of a farm and home site, all understand that the Farmland Preservation Trust was never intended as a means of bailing out someone with a threat of a mortgage foreclosure.
It may very well be that the funds granted under the trust might be used to save a farm or upgrade capital equipment to make a farm more viable, but that isnt the purpose of the trust. Its to preserve farms for farm use and open space and to sidestep development in our densely populated state, said Ralph Siegel, spokesperson for the New Jersey State Agricultural Development Committee.
Stafford Farm preserved
Elsewhere in Camden County, another horse farm is being preserved. A formal press conference was held Oct. 17 to announce the joint effort of many organizations to preserve the 141-acre Stafford Farm in Voorhees Township.
Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bradley Campbell and Secretary of Agriculture Charles Kuperus told attendees how great a day it was for the residents of Voorhees Township to seal forever the future of the Stafford Farm that has been in existence since Revolutionary War times.
Every effort must be made to prevent development from consuming properties like Stafford Farm that are the last significant parcel of open space in a densely developed area, said Campbell.
Kuperus said, The partnership to preserve Stafford Farm is a model for cooperative preservation efforts. As a result, this beautiful horse farm will forever remain open and productive, and an asset to this community and our agricultural industry for generations to come.
The farm has been in the Stafford family for more than 225 years and is still a viable operation. Currently co-owned by brothers Pete, Randall III, Alvin, Arthur, Benjamin and David, the farm sits smack in a heavily suburbanized area, having a Super G supermarket for a neighbor and surrounded by the never-ending roar of road traffic.
Stafford wasnt always a horse farm, but thats how it worked out. Horses were used in transporting and raising crops, but a series of events turned it into a training farm that breeds, raises and trains horses for harness racing.
The owners grandfather, Randall Safford Sr., with lineage tracing back to the original brothers who came from England and received a grant from King George, took an interest in race horses. That led to purchase of Standardbred horses and eventually his grandsons to drive harness racing carts. Since the early 60s, horses have become the familys main business. About 35 horses are in training, with more used in riding and breeding.
All this daily training will continue uninterrupted, now that funding has been secured to preserve the farm. Actually, the farm is split into a 70-acre horse farm and 70 acres of woodlands that will be minimally altered to improve a convenience path between township schools.
Siegel, spokesperson for the State Agricultural Development Committee, said multiple funding from multiple entities has been used to pull this preservation package together. The woodland portion of the farm, which will be considered a municipal park, has been funded by the Green Acres Trust of Voorhees Township and the non-profit Trust for Public Lands, which were instrumental in initiating the whole preservation parcel.
The Stafford Farms centuries-old use as an agrarian farm, thanks to the preservation, will now constitute 5 percent of Voorhees Townships open space in perpetuity.

Global Directed Energy-based Surgical Systems Market: Overview
Directed energy-based surgical systems are an important part of the rapidly emerging trend of minimally invasive surgery. More patients are now considering minimally invasive surgical intervention techniques because of benefits such as quicker healing and recuperation time and a reduced duration of hospital stay. Directed energy-based surgical systems, by virtue of depositing energy in a targeted manner in the desired tissues, help surgeons alter the properties of the tissue as needed. Directed energy-based surgical systems make use of a variety of techniques such as microwave or laser energy, ultrasound, radiofrequency, and cryotherapy.
The market for directed-energy based surgical systems has received a boost thanks largely to their increasing use across numerous application areas. Since these systems lend themselves easily to different plans, they are now seeing wider usage in cardiovascular, gynecological, ophthalmic, oncology, and orthopedic surgery. A number of cosmetic surgeries using directed-energy based surgical systems have yielded the desired results, further fueling the market's growth.
The unmatched degree of precision, fineness in incisions and cutting, and reduced patient trauma are among the main factors prompting hospitals to invest in directed energy-based surgical systems. These advantages will also act as high-impact drivers for the global directed energy-based surgical systems market.
This report analyzes the types of directed energy-based surgical systems, their applications, end users, and demand in regional markets. This enables stakeholders at various levels of the market to understand the factors that are influencing its future. The regional segmentation, especially, aims to enable market players take informed decisions about which countries will hold the most lucrative opportunities. Moreover, recommendations are provided to give insights into how players can monetize opportunities present in each segment.
Global Directed Energy-based Surgical Systems: Trends and Unmet Needs
As surgical operations increasingly move from open to non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques, the market for directed energy-based surgical systems will register higher demand and revenue. The market already features directed energy-based products and systems that can be configured for use in open surgery as well as laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery.
Currently, there is a growing demand for energy-based surgical instruments that offer even more versatility in configuration and can help surgeons conduct simultaneous operations at once. For instance, there is a rising demand for directed energy-based surgical systems that can offer simultaneous tissue cutting or selective cutting options. Likewise, surgeons are showing a greater preference for directed energy-based surgical systems that can allow hemostasis by coagulation. As surgeries entailing extremely fine incisions become more popular, the need for sophisticated, robot-assisted systems is being felt. This trend will open a new window of opportunity for companies in the directed energy-based surgical systems market.
Global Directed Energy-based Surgical Systems: Regional Overview
The demand for directed-energy based surgical systems is rising in all major regional markets. However, the healthcare sector in the U.S. reports the highest adoption – and consequently demand – for directed energy-based surgical systems. Geographically, the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. The North America directed energy-based surgical systems market has emerged as the largest regional market and is expected to remain in this position until the end of the report's forecast period.
With intensive investments being channeled into the healthcare sectors of countries such as China, India, Brazil, and Japan, these markets will offer fresh opportunities for expansion and new product development. The concept of minimally invasive surgery is yet to gain popular acceptance in several countries in Latin America and Africa, which might delay the development of the directed energy-based surgical systems market in these regions.

Phone records put Hicken under scrutiny
-Rohee admits call, denies cover up
The testimony of Senior Superintendent Clifton Hicken, the former divisional commander responsible for Linden, has come under further scrutiny after phone records produced to the Linden Commission of Inquiry (COI) last week showed that he was in contact with Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee on the day the three Lindeners were fatally shot despite his denials that he had no contact with Rohee.
Rohee on Friday also acknowledged that he was in contact with Hicken on the evening of July 18 following the shootings.
Apart from determining who was responsible for the shootings, the COI is also inquiring into what, if any, general or specific instructions the minister may have given to the police force to maintain law and order in Linden immediately before, during and immediately after the events of July 18.
Under cross-examination on September 27, by attorney Nigel Hughes, Hicken denied having contact with Rohee, on July 18 while operating at Linden. Hughes had listed several numbers affiliated with Rohee, all of which Hicken said he was not familiar with. Hicken said several times that he was only in contact with acting Commis-sioner of Police Leroy Brumell, from whom he said he took orders.
Brumell had said under oath that telephone number 623-9908 belonged to Rohee, while 661-9490 was Hicken's number.
The telephone companies, the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) and Digicel were subpoenaed and produced telephone records to the COI last week. The phone records confirmed that calls were made between numbers registered to Rohee and Hicken on July 18.
The records presented by GT&T show that six calls were exchanged between the numbers registered to Rohee and Hicken. Among the calls listed in the records was one that lasted six minutes, another that lasted three minutes and 11 seconds and one with duration of three minutes, the commissioners were told.
No cover up
Rohee, meantime, has acknowledged that he had spoken with Hicken after the shooting on July 18. The Government Information Agency (GINA) reported that during an interview with the National Communications Network (NCN) on Friday night, the minister stated, "Yes we did make contact, I did have a conversation with him; most of the conversation was after the shooting took place on the bridge."
He said also said that, "If there was any contact before, well the records will show whether that was so or not but from my recollections most of the time when we spoke was after the incident took place so I don't think there is need for any speculation to take place about whether the minister was in touch…I was in touch with him and we did speak so I would like to put that to rest lest there be any speculation or suspicion that somebody is trying to cover up anything."
GINA said the minister also explained that he generally makes contact with persons below the level of the commissioner as it pertains to him carrying out his roles and responsibility as Home Affairs Minister. Brumell had told the commission that he was aware of instances where the minister would contact ranks below him.
"I think also a question was raised about me making contact with persons below the commissioner of police. I do make contact from time to time with ranks below the commissioner of police particularly at the commander level, assistant commissioner level. Very rarely I would speak to persons below the level of the divisional commander," Rohee was quoted as saying.
"There are many times I would call the commissioner and he would not be available because of his responsibility and if he is not available then I would then go to the next level which is the commander of the division and if the commander of the division is not there then I would speak to the second. That's the lowest I would go and I think all of this is a fulfilment of my responsibilities," the minister also said.
A few days after the shootings, Rohee during a special programme on the Linden protests had said that prior to the July 18 incident, he had held discussions with senior officials and he was given the assurance that live rounds were not going to be used by the police in deterring the Linden protestors. He had also denied allegations that he was giving instructions to ranks at Linden via a radio system on what actions to take on the day of the shootings. He had explained there is no way that a handheld radio in Georgetown can connect onto the frequency of the radio network in the mining town, GINA had reported at the time.
Chief Executive Officer of Digicel Gregory Deane also produced records to the COI and he said that he was asked to provide records for 661-9490. He said he did not have information about who the number was registered to because he was not asked to provide that. While being questioned by Hughes, Deane said that he was asked for incoming and outgoing calls between 5.47 pm and 6.48 pm on July 18 for that number. Hughes said that he would be tendering a copy of a printout of the records and will go through them at a later date, since many numbers were listed.
The COI is mandated to inquire into and report on the circumstances surrounding the shooting to death of three Linden men, Allan Lewis, Ron Somerset, and Shemroy Bouyea and the injury of several others at the Mackenzie-Wismar Bridge on July 18, during a protest over the increase in electricity tariffs.
More questions
The COI began hearings on September 24 and testimony during the first week from the three senior police officers inclusive of Brumell, Hicken and Assistant Superintendent Patrick Todd, the officer-in-charge on the ground at the time have exposed inconsistencies between their accounts of events. Testimony by other police ranks last week has also raised further questions and placed the actions of Hicken under increased scrutiny.
Todd told the COI that he believed that if he and his riot unit had remained on standby at the Mackenzie-Wismar Bridge, the situation at Linden could have been better managed on July 18. Todd had said that he could not act independently on his personal expertise in crowd control, since he was required to follow the instructions of Hicken.
"If we were in the vicinity away from the crowd, after persons observed police presence, they wouldn't have behaved in that manner," Todd opined. "I think it was bad in judgment to have the unit locate themselves in the centre of the crowd. I think it would be better to remove away from the crowd and put on standby to observe," he had said.
With a crucial question being who fired the fatal shots, it was also revealed that swabbing of hands for gunpowder residue was not done on some ranks at least. Todd said that his hand was not swabbed for gunpowder residue and that he could not recall whether any members of his unit had their hands swabbed for this purpose after the shooting.
Corporal Donald Harry, whose main duty is to issue and receive firearms and ammunition, also told the COI that the weapons used by the riot unit that was deployed to Linden on July 18 were not returned to the armoury until three days after the unit got back from Linden and four policemen had less ammunition than they had taken, but no explanation was given. Harry was asked whether it is customary that the arms be immediately lodged upon return and he responded in the affirmative. He was also asked whether the delay between the return of the ranks and the lodging of the weapons was unusual and he admitted that it was.
Meantime, Jermaine Tucker, a police photographer, told the inquiry that he had not seen protestors hurling missiles at police on July 18 and that there was a blackout after 6 pm during which he heard explosions.

David Lewis Paget Poems
Swan Song
Her hair was as black as a starling's tail,
Her cheeks as pale as a swan,
Her eyes, like two slim moonstones, glowed
And her mouth was the Holy Grail.
She'd played in the dirt of the village street
So long ago, so long...
She'd swum in the pools of the mountain stream,
But now, that girl had gone.
While I still rise with the early bird
To tend to my father's fields,
As the only son of an only son
I watched the woman leave.
She cried sweet tears as she said farewell
And vowed to come back, and soon,
But the village streets of a western ...
'I died early, ' said the Spirit,
'So I didn't have the chance to learn,
And though I don't exactly burn
With envy for your thirty years,
It's such a pity dying young,
The pleasures of a youth, unsung…
For all I left behind of me
Were memories of my mother's pain
In birth and death,

sorry for asking again, but i just thought i could clear ur mind if i just
Ask again but in a better way.
i got a link from my ISP, with a simple router, i think its linux based,
maybe MikroTik inside
everyday from 20:00 till 22:00, a Host (black connected through any other
customer) uploads packets with a speed of 2-3 mbit, the speed allowed from
my ISP is maximum 256 up and 256 down kbps, i have no idea where this hosts
gets this speed, its not blocked, it bypasses the ISP router and then my
Network doesnt have any connection with the internet then, not even a ping
to the ISP works...
my ISP gave me a private network with PAT, i dont have access on the router,
lets just say 10.10.10.0/24 is the network from my ISP (manual, static)
10.10.10.254/24 is the ISP Router, i connected it with the m0n0 router
directly, so my ISP see's just one host (10.10.10.253/24, so the WAN
on the LAN interface, i created a network with 192.168.100.0/24, the LAN
Interface (10.10.10.254/24) is connected with a switch, where all other
Hosts connect to.
ok so good so far, i used DHCP for addressing, with MAC Filtering (or
however its called), so i have to add the MAC 1st, before a host can lease
an IP, now im planing even to reserve each MAC an IP.
Now on the Great thing, 2 problems, Hosts added on DHCP Server with the MAC
Address, can configure the HOST manualy without activating the DHCP, and
they get INTERNET, how do i avoid this, i dont want ANY host to access the
internet without getting in touch with the DHCP server. and yes the second
one, the HOST that blocks my network with that massive upload, strikes
again, and i cant block him, he's not registered on the MAC Table in the
DHCP Server, and he still gets out, im speechless, i just dont understand
ps, back to the prot blocking, screenshots how to block ports on both
interfaces, would be really good.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Today we offer proof that if you pursue your dream, no matter what other people say, you can make that dream come true.
Jerry Finn had a dream. He wanted to provide serious drama to Sarasota theater audiences in the summertime. People told him that was a crazy idea; audiences wouldn't go for it; Suncoast audiences only want fluff, light fare in the summer.
But Finn went ahead and founded the Banyan Theatre. And Thursday night it opens its 13th season.
This first play is The Price by Arthur Miller. "It's about a relationship between two brothers which has been under tremendous strain for a long period of time," says actor Peter Thomasson.
"Because of what has happened over the years, me having to take care of the father, and my brother not being responsible and doing his share, we haven't seen each other in 16 years. And we're here to sell all our old family furniture because they're tearing the old house down," says actor Charlie Kevin.
Conraid Feininger plays Solomon the furnitue dealer. "Solomon's message is one of survival. He has battered his way to an advanced age and this could be the final challenge and he has to work out within himself whether or not he's going to take it on."
Feininger patterns Solomon after his own father. "I watched my father age and die at the age of 101, and the idea of portraying age on stage that I don't necessarily have myself is a big challenge. I played this part once before and I'm so excited to have the change to try again."
And so you see the brothers, surrounded by the belongings their father left behind, bargain with the furniture dealer and spar with each other. "What ensues is what a lot of families go through -- a lot of bitterness, a lot of regrets, anger, sadness."
This is the first of three plays the Baynan Theater Company will present this summer, all in the Cook Theatre at the FSU Center for Performing Arts. The second play, The Sty of the Blind Pig, opens July 17th; and the third, Collected Stories by Donald Margulies, opens August. 7th.

David Cameron put up a good fight at prime minister's questions today, accusing Ed Miliband of being a "nothing man" who had been at the Treasury during the build-up to the credit crunch – at a time when the Labour government gave Sir Fred Goodwin a knighthood. His best joke: "A shadow chancellor who can't count and a Labour leader who doesn't count."
But on the policy argument of the day – bank bonuses – Ed Miliband skewered Mr Cameron. Indeed the prime minister was forced to rely on some slightly dodgy numbers to rebut the attack by the leader of the opposition.
We rehearsed this precise argument on this blog on Monday, as you can read here.
In essence Cameron argued that the new bank levy would this year raise £2.5bn – more than the £2.3bn raised by Labour's bank bonus tax last year. "£2.5bn is more than £2.3bn," he told the chamber.
By contrast Ed Miliband argued that last year's one-off tax raised £3.5bn while the banking levy will only raise £1.3bn. It is Miliband who is telling the truth. Read more

Toll-like Receptors — New Words for a New World in Lupus Research Led by the LRI
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and drugs to control them have made headlines in treating cancer, sepsis and hepatitis. Now breakthroughs in their potential for lupus patients are taking center stage.
Toll-like receptors — a family of immune cell proteins. It's well worth learning the phrase because we'll be hearing more and more about this burgeoning area of lupus research.
Lupus Research Institute (LRI)-funded scientists pioneered the line of inquiry that first linked Toll-like receptors with lupus. Discovered for their role in protecting against infection, TLRs have emerged as possible instigators of lupus, and several drugs to inhibit them are now approaching clinical trials.
Our LRI Novel Research Grant recipients continue to lead the pursuit of TLRs in lupus from a wide range of angles. Just recently, Dr. Kevin Nickerson from Yale and Dr. Edward Chan of University of Florida published the results of their LRI-funded work with papers in The Journal of Immunology that provide insights into how Toll-like receptor proteins can be targeted in developing new treatments for lupus. Click here to learn more. In addition, our first $1 Million Distinguished Innovator Award recipients are examining these receptors as key to uncovering the cause of lupus. Their goal is to find ways to control specific TLRs, harnessing benefit and suppressing harmful effects.
"Which Toll-like receptors should be treated as villains to inhibit or as avengers to promote is one of the most critical questions in lupus research today," said Margaret Dowd, President and CEO, LRI. "Our researchers continue to provide new answers, advancing this exciting area to provide further insight as the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries pursue targets for potential new drug development."

Three months ago, the producers behind Mary Mother of Christ — a sort of "prequel" to The Passion of the Christ co-written by that film's Benedict Fitzgerald and my fellow Patheos Movies blogger Barbara Nicolosi — said they were thinking of casting "one of England's most famous Academy Award winners" as King Herod.
At the time, I noted that there are currently nine actors alive who are both (a) British and (b) Academy Award winners — and although I didn't say so at the time, I had a feeling that the filmmakers might be talking to Ben Kingsley. For one thing, he is still quite active, unlike, say, the retired Sean Connery; for another, he has been involved with a number of modestly-budgeted Bible movies before, from the two-part TV-movies Joseph (1995) and Moses (1995) to the animated version of The Ten Commandments (2007).

Project DescriptionIn leafy Oberlin, ohio, the central Tappan Square is dominated by the town's namesake college—an example of a town-gown relationship that can't be ignored. The well-regarded liberal arts school provides lots of architectural interest, with notable buildings by architects ranging in era from Cass Gilbert to William McDonough. "Oberlin is branded by innovation," says Paul E. Westlake Jr., principal-in-charge of Cleveland-based architecture firm Westlake Reed Leskosky. It was the first American college to regularly admit female and black students, and today it's positioning itself as number one in green building, having established LEED Silver as the minimum standard for new buildings on campus. "They make sustainable design a challenge to all their designers," Westlake says of college leaders.
The world-renowned Oberlin Conservatory of Music occupies a corner off Tappan Square. Minoru Yamasaki—best known for the World Trade Center's towers—designed the original 1963 buildings; his low-scale complex is a series of indoor and outdoor spaces defined by the architect's signature narrow, pointed arches, rendered in white precast concrete. Westlake Reed Leskosky has added its new Bertram and Judith Kohl Building to the Yamasaki original. The bar-shaped structure attaches to the old complex via a vertical circulation tower and third-story bridge. The building is situated between a parking lot to the east and the Yamasaki complex to the west.
The architects planned the building to create a north-south axis. Accessed from Tappan Square to the north, students proceed through a plaza between the old and new structures, and an exterior stair moves up the Kohl building façade and terminates the axis in another green space: a third-story roof garden. "We wanted to redirect the energy," project designer Jonathan C. Kurtz says. "It's a dense, urban landscape—where the rest of the campus is more bucolic." David H. Stull, dean of the conservatory, notes that the addition's location behind the Yamasaki complex "isn't where you'd [choose to] put it—it doesn't have any street frontage."
Stull isn't a big fan of the Yamasaki buildings—although the architect "brought natural light into all the spaces through courtyards and windows"—a strategy Stull and the Westlake Reed Leskosky architects tried to reprise. "We wanted to bring nature into the building," Kurtz says. The team was able to accomplish this through several primary moves. First, the building's narrow footprint allows ample daylighting in all spaces. Second, a central "terrarium" on the third floor brings light and colorful winter-blooming flowers into the public spaces and adjacent faculty lounge. Third, the south roof garden is always open to the public.
The 37,000-square-foot addition is three stories tall, plus a basement, and houses the jazz studies department. Other facilities include a recording studio, rehearsal and performance spaces, teaching studios, practice rooms, and archives. The building's program is stacked in a way that makes sensible use of the material mass necessary to acoustically isolate each of these spaces. The ground floor has percussion practice rooms and rehearsal studios that require the densest construction. Standard practice rooms, needing slightly less dense construction, are on the second floor, and offices—the closest the Kohl Building gets to conventional construction—are on the third floor.
While spaces focused on individual students are private and isolated, the public spaces encourage interaction. "We wanted to create unplanned social learning environments," Kurtz says. Sometimes this is as simple as a bench in the corner of a corridor; other times it's more elaborate, like the stairs that rise in unison from the ground floor to the third level, both inside and outside.
"The influence of jazz on the building is interesting," Stull says. "The windows on the east façade are syncopated and the color of the anodized aluminum changes. It's improvisational." Paul Westlake has a more straightforward way to describe the intended excitement. "We wanted to design the place where the lights go out last," he says. In the Kohl Building, they have.
One way to build green is to build lightly on the land—but that strategy runs counter to some of the critical, and hidden, acoustical needs of the Kohl Building. "It's as dense with materials as you can get," project designer Jonathan C. Kurtz says. As many as eight (that's right—eight) layers of gypsum board are used in a single wall assembly, and one composite concrete masonry unit and drywall partition type tops out at 211/2 inches wide.
The wall assemblies vary from floor to floor with the acoustic needs of the space. Separating the third floor offices (which double as teaching spaces) are two sets of metal studs floated on isolation pads, sheathed in different quantities of gypsum board on either side. This is to give more mass to one side of the wall than the other—if the same number of sheets were used, sound waves from one office would cause both sides of the wall assembly to vibrate in tandem. More mass on one side stops the sound waves, providing more acoustic isolation.
In classrooms, the gypsum boards are separated by masonry walls, adding extra insulation. But the most complex wall system is found in the recording studio. Used for both student and professional recordings, the room must be completely cut off from any sound outside. Nine-inch-thick diffractal panels are placed in a 21-inch-deep acoustical assembly. This is then placed in front of a 12-inch-thick masonry wall, followed by a layer of insulation, a 2-inch air space, and another insulated masonry wall. The total thickness of this system is 4 feet, 1 inch.
The suspended ceilings within the acoustically sensitive areas such as the practice rooms on the first and second floor are equally sophisticated—and complicated. The building's geothermal radiant heat and cooling system is embedded in the ceiling construction. Mason Industries' acoustical hangers support BEKA radiant tubing, which is adhered to cement board panels. These panels are then embedded in Knauf Drywall MP75 Projection Plaster. It's one of the first times that the BEKA system has been installed in the United States, according to principal-in-charge Paul E. Westlake Jr.

A Seahawks fan blogger broke the story today that he was on a redeye flight to Miami with San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith. Not long after his tweets came out the Miami beat writers and Adam Schefter reported Alex was their to meet the Dolphins.
This can mean a lot of things. Alex is showing the organization he really isn't Harbaugh's BFF. He is just using this as leverage to get more money if Peyton turns down the 49ers, or someone informed him (Condon) that Peyton will choose the 49ers.
Regardless of why, this certainly adds more drama to the 49ers free agent season. If by some chance the 49ers sign neither Smith or Peyton, look for Josh Johnson to make a flight to San Francisco not long after.

News will be made in courtrooms, on construction sites and in voting booths in the year ahead
We don't have a crystal ball, but the die is cast for much of what is to occur in this new year. Court dates, election campaigns and construction schedules offer us the tea leaves to predict some momentous events will occur in 2014.
But what the outcomes will be cannot be foretold.
Here is a look at some of the big stories we anticipate reporting in the new year. Stay tuned, as many will affect what happens in Buffalo and Western New York.
Flight 3407 day in court
The families of Flight 3407 have waited five years for their day in court, and that day is scheduled for this year.
A trial for the remaining wrongful death suits stemming from the Feb. 12, 2009 crash in Clarence Center is scheduled for late May in Buffalo federal court.
The 3407 case is one of four major trials that will dominate the federal courts' calendar in 2014.
The others include the government's prosecution of 10th Street gang members, one of the biggest organized crime cases in recent years, and its racketeering and extortion case against Operating Engineers Local 17's former leadership.
A green code for Buffalo development
It might only catch the attention of a handful of urban planners and developers, but Buffalo's first comprehensive zoning code in 60 years will shape the way people live and work in the city.
The Green Code's implications are far and wide, from whether you are able to find a parking space on your street, to whether you can easily bike to work, to what can be built on that vacant lot next to your house. The code will govern how land is used, and is intended to guide economic development and create walkable neighborhoods.
Adoption of the Green Code, or Unified Development Ordinance, is expected by October. But there is much to be done before then. A draft code will be sent to the Common Council in February, which will trigger the beginning of the official public review process.
The Council will hold hearings and public meetings will be held around the city between February and April.
Between May and August, the city will review and respond to public comments. The Council is scheduled to debate the code in September and October.
Cranes and more cranes
While the Buffalo Niagara region was abuzz last year about the construction cranes along the waterfront for the HarborCenter project, 2014 promises yet another burst of activity and further momentum for the efforts to revive the local economy.
Much of it will be linked to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's "Buffalo Billion" initiative.
The long-awaited opening of the historically aligned canals at the site of the former Memorial Auditorium is expected, providing ice skating in the winter and reflective pools with bridges and towpaths in the summer.
At the same time, Terry Pegula's $172 million HarborCenter, now under construction, is expected to open its hockey rinks in the fall. Just north at One HarborCenter, a Courtyard by Marriott hotel is expected to occupy three floors early in the year on the heels of Philips Lytle law firm's move in November.
Murder trial of mother set for March
The murder trial of Candace Croff Cartagena, accused of suffocating her 8-year-old daughter in her East Amherst home in November 2010, is scheduled to begin in March.
Police found Bianca's body in her mother's bedroom and her mother moaning and mumbling in the family's backyard shed after trying to kill herself by taking six different kinds of medication. Cartagena was facing marital problems, unemployment and a house in foreclosure.
Top county prosecutors Thomas J. Finnerty and Kristin St. Mary will face off against defense attorney John R. Nuchereno before Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk.
Medical campus continues to grow
New construction dominated Buffalo's health care landscape in 2013 and is likely to do so again in 2014.
Four major building projects continue to progress on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, promising to transform downtown. They are the University at Buffalo's new School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences; Kaleida Health's new children's hospital, renamed the John R. Oishei Children's Hospital; Ciminelli Real Estate Corp.'s Conventus medical research and office building; and Roswell Park Cancer Institute's Clinical Sciences Center.
Other significant work underway includes the new headquarters for the Catholic Health hospital system at the foot of the Kensington Expressway by Oak, Elm and Genesee streets, as well as the Regional Behavioral Health Center at Erie County Medical Center, a project that will consolidate the ECMC and Kaleida Health mental health and drug dependency services.
Civil case against Corasanti expected
A wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the family of the late Alexandria "Alix" Rice against Dr. James D. Corasanti in the Amherst hit-and-run case is expected to go to trial sometime in 2014.
Corasanti, 58, of Getzville, was convicted in May 2012 of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated but acquitted by an Erie County Court jury of manslaughter. He was released from the Erie County Correctional Facility after serving eight months of a one-year jail term, with time off for good behavior.
Waiting on Cuomo's fracking decision
New Yorkers are still waiting to see whether Cuomo will allow hydraulic fracturing in the state.
President Obama previously expressed his support for tapping into America's natural gas supplies, putting him at odds with some of his traditional supporters in the environmental community.
Technological advances in hydraulic fracturing and geological analysis show trillions of cubic feet of natural gas can be extracted from the Marcellus Shale layer, as deep as two miles into the earth from Ohio to New York State, and Ohio, Pennsylvania and several other states already allow it. As with any heavy industry, there are trade-offs.
Those who support hydraulic fracturing point to natural gas development as the key to making American energy independent and returning to low-cost fuel. Others believe that fracking poisons the environment and drinking-water supplies.
Late last year, the state did permit the NRG electric plant at Dunkirk Harbor to be changed from a coal-fired plant to natural gas.
Cuomo faces re-election bid
Whether it will be The Donald or The Carl or someone else facing him, 2014 is an important year for the governor, as he faces voters in his first re-election bid.
And the outcome of this race for governor may keep Cuomo in the mix or knock him out of contention for consideration as candidate for president in 2016.
State legislators face re-election
Not just the governor is up for re-election this year. All members of the State Legislature also face the voters.
Democrats, again, are hoping to make a major play to take control of the State Senate and break the hold Republicans and a splinter group of Democrats have held over the chamber.
Major issues to play out include everything from how big and what kind of election-year populist tax cuts to embrace, whether lawmakers might tinker with the common core public school program, whether medical marijuana will be legalized, how campaign finance laws might be improved and the state's selection of where four initial casinos will be located.
Niagara Falls mall gets a new life
A dilapidated mall in Niagara Falls will be given a chance at new life.
Early in 2014, proposals will be unveiled from two groups of developers who've been given a crack at redeveloping 200,000 square feet in the former Rainbow Centre mall.
The mall's last anchor tenant left in 1999, and the only development at the site since then has been the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute, which opened in the south third of the mall in the fall of 2012.
More tests ahead for Buffalo schools
The new year will usher in a series of events that could affect whether Pamela Brown stays on as school superintendent, or how she moves forward.
To begin, the district could see a new kind of state oversight or strings attached to state aid. State leaders, starting with Cuomo, have called for penalties for school districts that fail to show academic and financial capabilities. Some state leaders have gone as far as asking lawmakers to give them the authority to take over failing districts.
Then in May, school board elections could result in a shift of support on the board, which backs Brown now by only a slim majority. One of her biggest critics, board member Carl Paladino, has vowed to help elect candidates who will support his attempt to fire Brown.
Canadian shopping mall
Competition for Canadian shoppers will soon be coming from their home country.
An outlet mall is being built in Niagara-on-the-Lake and will be open for business this year. It is a direct attempt to keep Canadian shoppers from crossing the border in search of more variety, designer labels and more attractive prices. How will that affect the Fashion Outlets of Niagara, which is investing millions in an expansion on our side of the falls?
Expanded groceries
Buffalo has one of the country's most competitive grocery scenes, and it just got a bit of a shake-up.
Longtime local grocer Frank Budwey is bowing out of the scene, while second-generation grocer Joe Dash is expanding into one of Budwey's former properties, and Tops is returning to local ownership.
Add Tops' Orchard Fresh expansion, Trader Joe's growing presence, Wegmans' popularity and continued pressure from national retailers, and things promise to get very interesting this year as you shop for food.
More on Obamacare
The Affordable Care Act will loom large over the health care industry in the new year.
By the end of the new year, we should know if the botched implementation of the new health law was a temporary glitch or a telltale sign that the law is fatally flawed. And the direction of the 2014 elections may well depend on the answer to that question.
Health insurance companies, hospitals and physicians all will wrestle with the act's effect on their members and patients.
For our dominant health insurers – BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York, Independent Health and Univera Healthcare – the state insurance exchange created through the act has opened up the region's market to outside competition.
New auto jobs
Ford Motor Co.'s stamping plant in Hamburg will add 350 jobs as it capitalizes on $150 million in new investment by the automaker.
The Hamburg plant could also be in line for more good news related to a Ford assembly plant in nearby Oakville, Ont. New vehicle products are expected to be announced for that facility, and the Hamburg site likely would be a choice to supply stamped parts for the vehicles, given proximity and long-standing connection.
General Motors' two area facilities, in Lockport and the Town of Tonawanda, are following through on recent investments in their own facilities. The Tonawanda engine plant last year finished installing the last of two new engine lines and continues to ramp up production of those engines. And the Lockport site this year is wrapping up $44 million worth of new investment by GM, including launching products to support heavy-duty pickup trucks and full-size utility trucks. Both GM plants have seen their head counts grow, and the U.S. auto industry is anticipating an uptick in sales. Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America in the Town of Tonawanda starts the year with a familiar face in charge: local native Tim Noe has returned from Virginia to serve as plant manager of the Sheridan Drive complex.
Happy days for GOP
For the first time since the mid-1970s, a Republican-aligned majority will be sworn in to the Erie County Legislature on Thursday.
The new majority caucus may create some challenges for Democratic County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz as he seeks to move forward with his agenda balancing funding popular public programs and pressures to hold the line on property taxes. A spokesman for the county executive said Poloncarz is confident he will be able to work well with the new majority and has maintained an open dialog with both the majority and minority caucuses of the Legislature since taking office in January 2012.

Mapping of Padre Island National Seashore and
mapping support in Texas
James C. Gibeaut, principal investigator; Thomas A. Tremblay, Tiffany L. Hepner, Rachel L. Waldinger, and William A. White
In 1980, BEG published a map titled Geology and Natural Environments of Padre Island National
Seashore based on aerial photographs taken in 1975. The geology and natural environments have changed
significantly over the past 28 years, and now the National Park Service is funding a 2-year program to remap
this dynamic environment. BEG researchers are remapping Padre Island National Seashore using the 1980 map as a
template for the new map. The mapping is based on color infrared digital orthophotos acquired in 2003 and field
studies to verify the mapping. Photo interpretation and mapping of geo-environmental units is being conducted at
a scale of 1:8,000 or larger. The final map will be at least as accurate as 1:24,000-scale U.S. Geological Survey
Topographic Quadrangle maps.
The new map will provide data for evaluation of the many changes in both geology and natural environments
that have occurred since 1975. This information is valuable for park management and helps meet the objectives
of the National Inventory and Monitoring Program. This work will also benefit from ongoing studies in the
Laguna Madre area funded by other sources.

Today, a man asked about fishing in the river which flows beside where I work. I said you could, but anything you caught under 5 inches has to be thrown back. His wife then said, "Wish I knew that before I married him." I started to laugh. The man almost cried and complained to my boss. FML
