Lord Campbell of Alloway: I believe that many noble Lords who are making a lot of unusual noise would not have been aware that for a very long time similar amendments in my name have been in the "no date named" and before this House on the reasoned amendment. What I may have said in the past was when I was probably less foolish than I am today. But we certainly can change our minds and there is no doubt that on this issue, for a long period of time, I have not changed it. My point that it is not a meretricious job to suit this debate; it is a good fun arguing point and I give it to the noble Baroness--as such.
Baroness Jay of Paddington: I would never accuse the noble Lord of being meretricious and I acknowledge, as I did before he rose, that people do change their minds. I simply sought to illustrate the point that issues of constitutional importance arise. I am sure that those noble Lords who in 1993 took part in the extensive debate on the European Communities (Amendment) Bill, otherwise known as the Maastricht Bill, would have been extremely pleased to have the support of the noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Alloway, in not wishing to promote any amendment to establish a referendum on that Bill.
That brings me to the point raised by the noble Lord, Lord Strathclyde, about whether the Government were cherry picking on introducing referendums. I draw his attention once again to that well known document, the manifesto. The Government believe that the manifesto should herald where the people should be consulted on a specific point. That is precisely what we did. The noble Lord drew attention, for example, to devolution for Scotland and Wales and to an elected mayor and an assembly for London. The position on introducing referendums before those Bills became law was explicit in the manifesto, and that is the position which the Labour Party has always taken.
Let us take the example of Scottish devolution. The policy of the Labour Party has always been that it should be dependent on the agreement of the population and that was clearly set out in the manifesto. It was on points of such detail that the White Paper and the subsequent Bill were introduced.
Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish: I thank the noble Baroness for giving way. She said that the position of the Labour Party was always that Scotland was to have a referendum. Would she care to remind the Committee exactly on which date the Prime Minister decided to
Baroness Jay of Paddington: I should be only too happy to have the noble Lord give us the calendar date, but I suspect that it will not help the discussion on whether it is right to preview issues on which one wants to hold a referendum in the manifesto. That is precisely what we did in relation to Bills on Scotland, Wales and the London government. They were raised as arguments against the position of not always having a referendum on constitutional matters.
I turn to an issue which, interestingly, has not been raised today. The incorporation of the EC treaty on human rights into our law was very thoroughly debated. It was discussed in great detail in your Lordships' House last year because it was of enormous constitutional importance. As my noble friend Lord Williams of Mostyn said in his winding-up speech on Second Reading of this Bill, it was of the greatest possible significance to the constitution of this country. I have checked and can say that at no stage during the passage of that Bill was there a request for a referendum. That was taken as an issue which could legitimately be decided on the basis of the debates in this House and another place and on the basis of the manifesto commitment.
Why was that done? It was done because the Government did not believe that anybody who had voted for them and had understood their wish to fulfil our treaty obligations, which at that stage were many years old in relation to the human rights convention in Europe, could possibly challenge them in a referendum. It is exactly the same argument that convinces us that a referendum on the Bill, which is the first stage of the reform of the House of Lords, is unnecessary.
Perhaps I can point out that the relevant passage in the manifesto, which has been quoted twice this afternoon and on several earlier occasions, is longer than the main clause of this Bill. It is hard to imagine how a referendum question could possibly be more simple than that.
That brings me to some practical questions raised by noble Lords on what would happen if the amendment were accepted and the practicalities of the referendum that may then be forthcoming. Questions arise as to how such a referendum can be conducted and what sort of questions would be put. The noble Lord, Lord Waddington, slightly tendentiously, said that the electorate would be asked, "Would you put up with a nominated chamber for ever?" That would not be the relevant question, nor would it be the relevant question in the context of the Bill.
Several noble Lords raised the question of whether the referendum would act as the guarantee of the second stage. The noble Lord, Lord Chalfont, suggested that that was one way of establishing that the second stage would occur. As I said earlier, I do not want to be drawn into discussions on later amendments. From the Government's perspective, Amendment No. 31, as it
I understand entirely the bona fides and integrity of the noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Alloway, in not seeking to delay the passage of the Bill, but I must repeat to him what was said by my noble friend Lord Richard and my noble friend Lady Gould: that if Amendment No. 1 were to be carried, the effect would be to delay the implementation of the Bill, on which we have a clear, unequivocal manifesto commitment. The manifesto commitment did not have in brackets "to be delayed until after the Royal Commission has reported", nor did it say that it should depend on the outcome of a referendum. It was to be carried out in view of the overwhelming support shown through the popular election of this Government for their manifesto which, I repeat, includes this commitment.
For all those reasons I ask the noble Lord, Lord Campbell of Alloway, not to press the amendment but to take a rain check, as the noble Viscount, Lord Cranborne, rather sensibly suggested. If the noble Lord does press it, I hope that your Lordships will not support it.
Lord Coleraine: I challenge what the Leader of the House has said about the manifesto and the mandate. I believe that the Committee will be grateful to the noble Baroness, Lady Gould of Potternewton, for introducing this matter into our debate.
We are a representative democracy, notwithstanding the intentions of some members of the Labour Party to change that. We have a representative House in the other place. It is for the representative House to decide whether something in the manifesto is given legal effect. It is for this House, as the advisory House, to recommend that the other House reconsiders. This has nothing to do with any form of mandate. The mandate arises in connection with the Salisbury convention and the noble Baroness, Lady Gould, asked why we need the Salisbury convention. The answer is simple. It was the quid pro quo by the hereditary peerage for the continuation of, theoretically, a completely unjustifiable arrangement. Once that arrangement is taken away, and legislation is introduced to take it away, the Salisbury convention becomes like the Cheshire cat with perhaps just the grin remaining. The convention has no fundamental validity now.
Earl Ferrers: Perhaps I may be permitted to make one observation. I see the noble and learned Lord the Lord Chancellor shaking his head. Perhaps he just has St. Vitus's dance. I have found this debate fascinating. Rather like the conviction of a metronome, I have gone backwards and forwards according to the views of the last person who has spoken, even though I have attached my name to Amendment No. 98, a referendum amendment tabled by my noble friend Lord Lamont of Lerwick.
I hate referenda and I always have done. Incidentally, I believe that the word is "referenda" and not "referendums" as it is Latin. I hate them because they divide Parliament and divide the loyalty of the people.
The Labour Party let this particular rabbit out of the hutch way back in 1975. Now we are lumbered with the prospect of referenda. There is a perfectly sound argument on this occasion for having one. My noble friend Lord Crickhowell said that the constitution depends upon having stable parliamentary institutions. This Bill removes those safeguards on which people rely. It is a pretty fundamental removal. I believe that is a perfectly sound case for having a referendum.
The noble Lord, Lord Marsh, said that to hold a referendum would be an abomination. That is a pretty strong word. We have had lots of abominations. We have had the abomination over the European Community, over Maastricht, over Wales, over Scotland and possibly over the European currency. However, the noble Lord asked, "How on earth can we explain the problem to the people of the country?" If it is so complicated, that is a very good reason for having a referendum. One could put a simple question, "Do you approve of screwing up the second Chamber, yes or no?" Maybe the answer would be clear.
The wording of a referendum is always difficult. I have the greatest respect for my noble friend Lord Cranborne, whose advice I always value and admire. I am not sure whether this goes against the Salisbury convention. The Salisbury convention allows the Bill, for which the Government have a mandate, to go through. We would simply be adding an amendment for the other place to consider. That is not delaying the Bill at all. The Bill may be delayed if another place were to say no, and it came back to us and we said, yes, and it went backwards and forwards. We would be giving the other place an option to consider. I do not believe that that contravenes the Salisbury convention.
There are sound arguments on both sides. I hope that my noble friend Lord Campbell of Alloway will consider it prudent not to press this amendment today but to think about it. Perhaps I may suggest that the Government should think about it too. It is not all that easy. Now the noble Lord, Lord Williams of Mostyn, shakes his head in disagreement. Perhaps he has St. Vitus's dance too. I hope it does not mean that he has a closed mind. He always says he has an open mind and I hope he has an open mind on this occasion too.

In this incredible debut novel comes the richly entertaining story of Ella of Frell, who at birth was given the gift of obedience by a fairy. Ella soon realizes that this gift is little better than a curse, for how can she truly be herself if at anytime anyone can order her to hop on one foot, or cut off her hand, or betray her kingdom'and she'll have to obey? Against a bold tapestry of princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella's quest to break the curse once and for all and discover who she really is is as sharply funny as Catherine, Called Birdy and as richly poignant as Beauty, and has all the marks of a classic in the making.
This lighthearted fantasy and recent Newbery Honor book re-invents the Cinderella story. "A winning combination of memorable characters and an alluring fantasy realm," said PW in a starred review. Ages 8-12. (Apr.)

B13. Engaging the Public Through Student-Curated Exhibits
This session will discuss the use of students in curating exhibits. It will look at the evolution of student-curators at Drew University Library, moving from assistants, to small exhibits, to full student-curated exhibits. This has been a successful form of both outreach and instruction, as it involves students with the materials and gives them practical skills for the future. Students working on exhibits learn about the materials and promote the materials to their friends, as well as learn more about the work of the library. The session will end with practical tips and suggestions for integrating students into exhibit curation for other institutions. It will look at the ways in which students have been instructed and mentored to create professional-level exhibits using students.

Issue: Journey into Mystery # 116
Writer: Stan Lee
Artist: Jack Kirby
Publication Date: May 1965
Brief Summary:
Thor and Loki are thrust into the trial of the gods, because Odin is...unhappy, or something. But wait! Baldur believes that Loki is bringing about some trickery. Loki? Really? Yes, it seems the god of tricksters has, once again, deceived his father, by playing dirty in the trial of the gods and putting the life of Thor's beloved Jane Foster into danger.
The issue ends of a cliffhanger, as Loki apparently wins the challenge. This issue is also very much embedded in the other stories taking place in the Marvel Universe at this point. There are shots of the Avengers meeting where they call for more members, Daredevil racing off to fight Namor, and the Frightful Four wondering if they have truly defeated the Fantastic Four. Very typical of the Marvel Universe when Stan was in charge.
In the backup story, Thor throws a goblet at a king's crown, and somehow comes out of it the hero. In other words, Loki is really bad at his job.
Favorite Panel:
Whaaaaat - look at Odin's bathrobe! Never mind that, look at his SLIPPERS!
Next: Sgt. Fury # 18

The book notes that Aristotle and his followers did not discuss the use of poetic symbolism. Rather, a different group of Greek thinkers--the allegorists--were the first to develop the notion. Struck extensively revisits the work of the great allegorists, which has been underappreciated. He links their interest in symbolism to the importance of divination and magic in ancient times, and he demonstrates how important symbolism became when they thought about religion and philosophy. "They see the whole of great poetic language as deeply figurative," he writes, "with the potential always, even in the most mundane details, to be freighted with hidden messages."
Birth of the Symbol offers a new understanding of the role of poetry in the life of ideas in ancient Greece. Moreover, it demonstrates a connection between the way we understand poetry and the way it was understood by important thinkers in ancient times.

Original paper
Morphology and electron-probe microanalysis of residual gold-grains at Dimako, Southeast Cameroon
Suh, C.E.; Lehmann, B.
Neues Jahrbuch für Mineralogie - Monatshefte Jg. 2003 Heft 6 (2003), p. 255 - 275
published: Jun 13, 2003
The morphology and chemistry of residual gold in the area around Dimako, Southeast Cameroon, are studied for the first time. The gold occurs in saprolite and nodular horizons of an extensive weathering blanket. The saprolite studied has 37 ± 22 ppm Au. The gold grains are irregular and dendritic in the deeper horizons but get progressively oblong, rounded, blunt, smooth and pitted up the profile. Gold grains from all horizons show remarkable core-to-rim zonation. The cores are relatively silver rich (1115 wt % Ag) while the rims are very poor in silver (0 to ≈4 wt % Ag) and quite commonly attain fineness of close to 1000. Significantly, zoning is exhibited by grains from all horizons. Chemically purified silver-free homogeneous gold particles are not restricted to the higher, more evolved horizons. The gold particles are mostly residual. Reprecipitation of supergene gold as submicron/micron-sized gold adsorbed on clay contributes up to 50%.

My Search For the Perfect Quantified-Self App. Part 1 – Different Folks, Different Logs.
It may come as a surprise to you, but until this week I have been using paper and Google Spreadsheets to record and track my life data points. Considering proliferation of tracking devices and growing popularity of QS movement, you would expect that by now there should be at least two dozen of functional mobile apps out there that would let you log and track your generic life data "on-the-go". At least I thought so when I started my search for a good tracking app almost two months ago. That search finally ended last week. Before I announce "the winners", let me share some observations that have accumulated during this rather long and somewhat expensive endeavor. If you prefer to skip the intro part and learn the names of the "perfect" apps, you will have wait for the next post.
First, just be fair, let me describe the "perfect QS" app as I imagine it, using a typical quantified day in my life as an example:
Upon waking up, I open my perfect QS app, and rate the quality of my sleep on 1-10 scale by answering two questions. I also log whether I remember my dreams, and if I do, the average "pleasantness", on a 10-point scale. I then weigh myself and take body fat measurements using my skinfold caliper; these measurements are also entered into my perfect QS app. After morning workout and shower, I eat breakfast and then enter into my perfect QS app essential nutritional data: weight, calories, amount of fat, carbs, and protein, cost and "gratification" (how much I enjoyed it). I then proceed to rating my mood (using 3 questions borrowed from Seth Roberts), mental and physical energy, self-esteem, and 20 other psychological variables, using 5-point and 10-point scales. While leaving the house, I log time of departure, and upon arrival to office, I log time of my commute. If I rode a bike to work that morning, I manually log the average speed and distance from my RunKeeper in my perfect QS app. As the day goes by, I use the same app again and again to record various psychological, behavioral and situational variables, each new record marked with a timestamp, each variable logged using either "yes/no", number, or a 5-point or 10-point scale. At the end of the month, I use the export feature of my perfect QS app to transfer all these data into Excel spreadsheet, where I combine it with data from my BodyMedia, Heart Rate, Sleep Time and other apps and gadgets, and analyze and visualize the bits of information I need.
In my search, I turned to Apple app store (I have iPhone), and used keywords "log", "logging", "track", "tracking", "quantified", quantified self", "measure", "record", and "count". The iphone section of the tools directory on the Quantified-Self website also proved to be very useful. The final list was promisingly long and had nearly 200 apps (185 to be exact). Just for fun, I created the "word cloud" out of the names:
Now, the first and the most important criteria for the perfect QS app is that it needs to be versatile when it comes to tracking things. In other words, I should be able to track anything: weight, time, mood, performance, etc., with potentially unlimited number of variables. While many apps claimed to be tools for "tracking anything and everything", after a closer review, I ended up only with 11 that, in my opinion, could be considered truly versatile:
As you can see, most of the tracking and logging apps (94%) focus on a specific niche: diet, fitness, health, mood, finance, etc. Don't get me wrong, I am not criticizing that at all. There are a lot of awesome apps out there that help us to track just a couple of things, and sometimes that's all we need. In this particular case, however, I am interested in that single app that would en"winning" apps. Sable me to keep all my multiple logs in one place. Of course, in addition to versatility, this app should meet three other criteria. In the next post, I will discuss these criteria, and will finally reveal the tay tuned!
Best Apps for Self-Tracking: rTracker and Track & Share
3 Responses to My Search For the Perfect Quantified-Self App. Part 1 – Different Folks, Different Logs.
What about Bento for the iPhone? I wonder if you could tweak a database to feel right for this kind of tracking?
Hi Garbolagrodi:
It's all about usability + three additional criteria that I will cover in my next post. The back end (data storage) is not so important, as the front end – the way QS data is collected.
That's great! You inspired me to purchase the app and start using it. Thanks for your reply!

World's first fleet of HYBRID ELECTRIC BUILDINGS ®
Fleet size: 10MW / 60MWh across 20 buildings
Peak energy demand reduction: 20%
In 2015, the Irvine Company, a leader in commercial real estate, and AMS launched a groundbreaking initiative to create the world's first fleet of Hybrid Electric Buildings® (HEBs). In the first phase of the project, AMS is designing, installing and operating advanced energy storage systems at 20 office buildings in southern California. The project will reduce peak energy demand and grid congestion in the Aliso Canyon region, which is projected to experience blackouts due to the 2015 natural gas leak.
The fleet of HEBs will be powered by a 10 MW network of state-of-the-art Tesla batteries, which are charged during nonpeak hours and used during peak daytime hours or in the event of a power failure. AMS will use advanced analytics software to optimize Irvine Company's energy usage, reducing energy costs and providing reliable back-up power during outages. The project will also provide Southern California Edison, Irvine Company's utility company, with up to 10 MW of reserve capacity — enough to supply power to 10,000 homes.
"Energy storage is a game-changer. It will allow building owners to participate in grid support and reduce costs while causing no disruption or discomfort to our customers, residents or guests."
No up front costs or maintenance by CSU
Fleet size: 2MW / 12MWh across three sites
Energy bill savings: $3.3 million
California State University (CSU), the nation's largest public four-year university system, has a longstanding commitment to sustainability. Through innovative facility design and renovation projects, CSU has reduced operational costs by $8 million annually and leveraged more than $13 million in utility incentives since 2003. Now, the system is adding to its impressive track record with a first-of-its-kind energy storage project.
In summer 2016, CSU enlisted Advanced Microgrid Solutions to install the first fleet of Hybrid Electric Buildings® at an educational institution. The first system is located at CSU Long Beach and will be followed by installations at the CSU Office of the Chancellor and CSU Dominguez Hills. This state-of-the-art, multi-campus fleet of HEBs will reduce CSU's peak energy costs by more than $3.3 million and provide enough energy storage capacity to power 2,000 homes. The systems will provide critical support to California's electric grid and optimize building load at sites with existing and planned solar, as well as electric vehicle charging.
"This transformational system will support California's environment and direct resources to support the academic mission of the CSU."
Peak energy demand reduction: 20%
Building size: 534,000 square feet
System size: 500kW / 1,000kWh
Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investment Trust enlisted Advanced Microgrid Solutions to transform San Francisco's One Maritime Plaza into the City's first Hybrid Electric Building®. AMS is installing a 500 kW / 1,000 kWh indoor Tesla Powerpack system that will lower the 534,000 square foot building's peak energy demand while supporting the electric grid. AMS will operate the system, with no maintenance required from Morgan Stanley.
The energy storage system at One Maritime Plaza will provide essential grid support by reducing the building's peak energy demand and curbing costly, unpredictable spikes in energy usage. The battery project will integrate with the existing building management system to enhance participation in utility demand response programs.
System size: 3.5MW / 7MWh
On-site renewables integrated: 3.5 MW of solar, 1 MW of wind and 2.8 MW of biofuel cell generation
Peak energy demand reduction: Up to 15%
The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) is a leader in sustainable water and energy management. With a diverse portfolio of renewable energy including wind, solar, fuel cells and food-waste-to-energy, the agency has the capacity to generate 7.3 MW of alternative power. Now, AMS is helping IEUA optimize renewable resources, reduce demand on the electric grid and lower operating costs through advanced energy storage.
In 2016, AMS began installation of a 500 kW / 1,000 kWh Tesla energy storage system at IEUA's Regional Water Recycling Plant No. 5 (RP-5). AMS custom-designed the system to help IEUA integrate 1 MW of onsite solar and 3 MW of onsite fuel cell generation at the facility. Now, IEUA can store excess renewables and use them to power RP-5 when demand on the electrical grid is high – lowering costs for ratepayers and contributing to a faster, more resilient electrical grid for the entire region.
The system is part of a 3.5 MW / 7 MWh project across six IEUA facilities, including wastewater treatment and recycling plants, composting facilities and pumping stations. The energy storage systems will range in size from 150 kW to 1,250 kW and will be custom-designed to optimize IEUA's resource portfolio and time of power consumption. AMS' energy storage and control technologies will balance solar, wind, and other on-site generation resources, increasing the capacity value of their solar PV, reducing operating costs by up to 10% and providing critical support to the agency customers and the electric grid.
"Energy storage is the key to maximizing the value of our investments, allowing us to use resources more efficiently, reduce costs for our customers and participate in building a more resilient electric grid for the whole region."
World's first grid fleet of HYBRID ELECTRIC BUILDINGS®
Firm, dispatchable demand reduction
Fleet size: 50 MW / 200 MWh
Advanced Microgrid Solutions (AMS) is working with Southern California Edison (SCE) to build a smarter, cleaner and more resilient grid. In November 2014, SCE awarded AMS with a 50 MW contract to install advanced energy storage systems at commercial and industrial sites. With Southern California facing record high temperatures and power outages, this fleet of Hybrid Electric Buildings® (HEBs) will allow SCE to access its customers' battery loads to alleviate congestion on the electric grid.
When demand on the grid is high, the HEBs will use state-of-the-art battery technology and advanced analytics software to aggregate multiple building loads and shift them from the electric grid to battery power. The fleet will serve as a virtual power plant, providing California's largest electric utility with up to 50 MW of firm, dispatchable demand reduction, helping to prevent blackouts and easing the need to build additional power plants. AMS is helping to turn some of SCE's largest energy users into its cleanest, most efficient resources.
Advanced Microgrid Solutions (AMS) and Shell Energy North America launched a cutting-edge initiative to develop a grid-scale fleet of Hybrid Electric Buildings® (HEBs). The buildings, which will be located at Shell Energy commercial, industrial and utility customer sites throughout California, will provide the utility with up to 20 MW of battery storage – enough to power 2,000 homes. The project will reduce costs and improve reliability for Shell customers, while helping to build a more modern, resilient grid.
AMS and Shell Energy will work together to identify new and existing direct access and utility customers who want to install advanced battery systems. With this innovative, forward-looking agreement, Shell Energy furthers its commitment to customer service by offering the latest in energy management, cost reduction, emergency generation and technology advancements.
AMS, along with a consortium of partners led by Opus One, a leading smart grid software engineering company, is working to improve integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and commercial microgrids into power systems and regional wholesale markets. The $12.4 million microgrid project will combine AMS's advanced analytics platform and Opus One's GridOS®, a real-time distribution energy networking platform, to integrate wind, solar, electric vehicle charging stations, battery storage and feeder-based microgrids into traditional electricity power systems at Emera Maine.
The project includes development of a commercial microgrid consisting of solar, battery storage and back-up diesel generation integrated with distribution-level feeder operations and the regional transmission operator; a DERs management demonstration project; and a feeder-based microgrid featuring wind resources, grid-scale energy storage and up to 10 residential battery systems. AMS's platform will perform an economic optimization of the DERs, while Opus One's GridOS® will ensure that the DERs are optimally dispatched within the physical constraints of the grid.
System size: 7 MW / 34 MWh
Facilities: 6 high-energy pumping stations, 3 water treatment & recycling plants, 1 deep aquifier treatment system and 1 groundwater desalter facility
Annual savings: $500,000
The Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) and AMS have teamed up to develop the largest energy storage project at a public water agency in the nation. This innovative partnership puts IRWD at the forefront of addressing one of California's great environmental challenges – the "water-energy nexus." With the pumping, distribution and treatment of water using significant amounts of energy, IRWD is using energy storage to smooth high energy demands, decrease costs and support the electric grid in a region with some of the most extreme electricity demands in the country.
The 7 MW / 34 MWh network of advanced energy storage systems, featuring Tesla batteries, will be installed at 11 of IRWD's largest and most energy-intensive facilities. Stored energy and advanced load control technologies will be used to reduce demand from the electric grid when requested by the local utility Southern California Edison without interrupting water treatment operations. The stored energy will also allow IRWD to increase participation in demand response programs, reducing the need for additional supply from fossil fuel generation in a region challenged by the closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
The project is expected to reduce the District's energy costs by more than $500,000 annually, while contributing to a more flexible and reliable electric grid. The energy storage systems at IRWD will be linked together as a network, providing facility managers with real-time insight into the energy intensity and cost of treating and transporting water.

text: Everyone awoke to find that it was a very dreary day. It was raining heavily with dark clouds lingering in the sky, so everyone still alive grabbed their rain coats and headed outside. Upon closer inspection, it seems that the werewolves had been quite busy during the night. All the streets had been blockaded as to only allow everyone to access the the village square. It was as if the werewolves wanted them to go there. Nevertheless, everyone went to the village square to find Stardust's mutilated body lying at the base of the gallows pole. The rest of the villagers huddled around the body to debate what to do next. Just then a flash of lightning and a thunderous roar made everyone look up. And just at that moment, the 3 remaining villagers found themselves staring into the jaws of death, as 3 hungry werewolves now stood right where LooseCannon, Ariana and Night Prowler had been standing. All 3 werewolves immediately launched themselves at the hapless villagers. Dark shadows crept over the valley where the village was located and blood curdling screams could be heard piercing the air. Shortly after, 3 shapes could be seen slinking into the darkness, no doubt looking to bring their evil intent upon other villages... The werewolves win!

Batmen of All Nations @ Wizard
Wizard Entertainment
Pretend all you want that a French ex-convict Batman or a mustachioed Latin American impostor called Bat-Hombre never existed. But the strange truth is that many of these Batman understudies—or "Batmen of All Nations"—joined together to form a Club of Heroes in 1955's Detective Comics #215 in all their stereotype-driven glory. Leave it to writer Grant Morrison and artist J.H. Williams III to dig up these D-list relics—and create spanking new send-ups with "Chief-Man-of-Bats" and "Wingman"—and give them a unique, if unexpected, A-list story in a three-issue arc beginning in June's Batman #667.

Went out again this year to capture some seasonal autumn themed photos to use for my blog's banner except this time I was using a DSLR instead of a compact. I went to a number of different places this year and captured many photos but not all of them turned out good of course.
Originally I wanted to capture autumn coloured leaves of different shapes and sizes such as from sycamore and beech trees but when I returned home to have a look at the on-screen results, a bit too much rot was showing through or the colours weren't gradiented enough to use. So, I decided to set them up in rounded squares instead as side decorations and use the photos that did come out well as the main banner.
The following are some of the photos I took which you'll find used in the current randomised banners. I go on quite a bit about photography so be warned ^^;

Holdsclaw Article in the AJC
There's a new article by Rana L. Cash at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "Dream Move Forward With Holdsclaw".
Give it a read and vote on the poll question.
Dream coach Marynell Meadors wasn't worried about the past when she invited Holdsclaw, a 6-foot-2 guard/forward who lives in Smyrna, to lunch late last year. A regular at Dream games, she would see Meadors afterward and tell her, 'Coach, you need a finisher.' "

Directed by Brian Robbins (VARSITY BLUES, THE PERFECT SCORE), this updated spin on THE SHAGGY DOG and THE SHAGGY D.A. features Tim Allen as Dave Douglas, a Deputy District Attorney who spends way too much time at the office and way too little time with his family. His son, Joe (Spencer Breslin), feels completely misunderstood, and his wife, Rachel (Kristin Davis), feels like a single parent. To make matters worse, his teenage daughter, Carly (Zena Gray), considers Douglas the enemy because he is representing a pharmaceutical company, Grant and Strickland, in their case against her social studies teacher, who is accused of burning down their lab to protest animal testing. Douglas life changes in an instant when animal-loving Carly brings home a friendly shaggy dog that bites the dog-disliking D.A. What Douglas doesnt know is that the dog has a secret. This Tibetan wonder dog is 300 years old, as smart as a human, and as playful as a pup. Soon, Douglas is exhibiting canine tendencies himself - a heightened sense of smell, a tendency to growl at opposing counsel in court, and an overwhelming urge to defend his front yard. His full transformation to a dog allows him rare insight into what his family really thinks and feels, and gives Douglas the opportunity to decide what is truly important. To further complicate matters, Grant and Strickland - the very company Douglas is representing - are certain that the dog that bit him holds the secret to the Fountain of Youth, and are determined to learn what it is. Robert Downey, Jr. stars as Dr. Kozak, Grant and Stricklands evil mastermind, and Philip Baker Hall plays head honcho Strickland. Jane Curtin and Danny Glover are also featured.

80. One of the things you have just said is
that on the whole the shorter projects have smaller delays and
hopefully, even proportionately shorter. Is there a case for going
for shorter projects?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) Yes.
81. I imagine one of the difficulties for defence
procurement is that if you have to replace your entire fleet of
aircraft all at once, you have a very big project on your hands.
If you could do it by perhaps updating the aircraft a bit more
often, some of your projects are after all updates of things .
. .
(Sir Robert Walmsley) Yes, updates are deceptive though.
They may be quite quick to bring to the point where you have equipped
and modified one equipment. As one of our previous reports in
this Committee pointed out, we sometimes take a very long time
to fit the updates then across the whole population of candidate
equipments. One of the important projects in here, the Seawolf
Mid Life Update, which is exactly that, although there is a delay
in this report, because it captures the delay to the in-service
date which has occurred. It is buried in the appendices and what
is not easy to spot in the report is that we have compressed the
time to fit all the frigates with Seawolf. So the completion of
the update has now come forward three years during the period
of this report. We think that is smart. I cannot pretend we have
always been as good as that, but with updates you have to recognise
that fitting it can take an enormous amount of time because of
the opportunities to do that.
82. One thing I noticed about the Swiftsure
and Trafalgar Update was that you had been involved with GEC-Marconi
and indeed some of their difficulties seem to have been part of
the problem. Is that correct and if so are there other projects
affected by the difficulties that particular company has been
having recently?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) It is absolutely disconnected
with that. GEC-Marconi, the defence arm, which used to be Marconi,
was purchased by BAE SYSTEMS some years ago. This company which
does this sonar used to be called Thomson Marconi Sonar Ltd, because
Thomson of France had 50.1 per cent and Marconi had 49.9 per cent
and that was transferred.
83. They are disconnected systems. Enough said,
thank you. Paragraph 1.3 talks about the strategic goal of getting
projects 90 per cent right. May I just check with you? Does that
mean 90 per cent of the major projects should be according to
your original budget on all three factors, time, cost and performance,
or that 90 per cent of your projects will be correct on time,
90 per cent will be correct on cost and 90 per cent will be correct
on performance, but it may be different ones?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) No, 90 per cent are within their
own approval, they cannot shelter behind another one. I did give
about as full an explanation as I could of this strategic goal
right at the beginning of the hearing. If it is unsatisfactory,
then please write to me.
84. In Figure 1 on page 4 it looks as though
in the last year of these projects some nine have failed on something.
Even in just this one year, and most of these projects will have
a chance to fail on one of these things in some other year of
their lifetime, nine out of 20, 45 per cent, have gone wrong.
You are an awful long way from getting to 90 per cent are you
(Sir Robert Walmsley) I am.
85. This is just one year of these projects
and several of the others may fail somewhere else along their
(Sir Robert Walmsley) That is absolutely true and
that is why what seems like a rather unglamorous strategic goal
is in fact a really tough one. We can do it because when these
projects had their approval set, we were not onto this 10 per
cent, 50 per cent, 90 per cent. It was a good judgement, but it
did not have this much more analytical approach to it. I have
to say, because it has been mentioned both by implication and
explicitly, in ASRAAM, right at the top of this list, I am now
absolutely confident we have a world beating missile on our hands
and that we are no longer as deficient on the KURs as we were
when this report was put to bed. We had a fantastic test firing
about 10 days ago and it is all coming and I am quite pleased
with it.
86. How convenient that they do their test firing
just before the PAC hearing.
(Sir Robert Walmsley) I cannot remember but this is
test firing number 13 or 14 in a long series of firings in a very
difficult operational environment and hitting the target.
87. It has been said to me that sometimes the
problem with the MOD has been the culture that a particular officer
feels he owns a programme and he pushes it very hard and perhaps
his career is tied up with pushing it and he overcomes doubts
and then he moves on. Do you think you have overcome this culture
in the MOD?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) I should like Admiral Blackham
to answer that. I might make a comment after he has.
(Vice Admiral Sir Jeremy Blackham) I think we have.
One of the key principles of the new customer organisation was
to produce a single person who was responsible for the entire
equipment programme and that is the DCDS(EC), the post I fill.
The organisation itself is now entirely a joint organisation.
Every single one of my teams has every uniform in it, including
grey suits and eggheads, scientists. It is an organisation which
is wholly committed now to producing capability, not to producing
platforms. I might say that this quite often puts us in some interesting
debates with the individual services because naval officers tend
to want ships and naval officers in particular find it very difficult
to understand why I do not understand that. Air Force officers
tend to want aeroplanes. That is not what we do. We look very
hard at the capability requirements, we have developed quite sophisticated
methodologies and measurement systems to do that, and then we
go along to Sir Robert's organisation and say what we want to
do, what the strategic requirements are and ask how they think
we might do that. Of course in many of the cases it is pretty
self-evident that it should be a ship or an aeroplane or a tank,
but by no means in all. We do not make that assumption. Whilst
we have a considerable ownership of the actual resultant project
within my organisation, we do not start with any expectation about
what it ought to be. Indeed within my organisation, although I
draw heavily on the domain expertise, the experience people have
in their particular environments, I have been at some pains to
prevent them seeing themselves as advocates of their services.
I actually see them as advocates of my organisation to their services.
It is a very uncomfortable position for them sometimes, I might
say. Both structurally and increasingly in terms of our mind set
we have moved away from that, but of course once a project has
been set up, I want the sponsor of that project to feel that he
owns it and will want to see it delivered.
88. His career in no way depends on its successful
(Vice Admiral Sir Jeremy Blackham) We have only been
running two years so it is probably a bit early to be absolutely
certain. His report out of me depends absolutely on his delivering
the task I have set him, which is to produce a balanced approach
to the capability need.
(Sir Robert Walmsley) I do think that people's careers
should to a certain extent depend on whether they achieve the
outcomes they have set themselves and which have been agreed for
them. That is quite a change in the way we approach things in
the Civil Service and perhaps even in some parts of the Armed
Forces. Outcomes in a sense are what we set most store by. I would
make one other point. Right at the beginning you asked me what
we had done in terms of Smart Procurement to make things different.
One of the things we did was to say that every project would be
scrutinised in my organisation by two executive directors, that
is Rear Admiral equivalent, not just one. One of them would be
the owner of the project if you like, who would be expected naturally
to be an advocate for it because he knew about it, he had staffed
it, he had lived with it. The other one, who is there to check
that fair play is done, is absolutely not an advocate of it. I
do think that formal non-advocate reviews of projects are fundamental
to trying to get an objective assessment of where you stand.
89. We are going to go into closed session in
just a moment and we are going to be talking about ASRAAM, but
I want to ask a general question which I think we can ask and
it follows from what Mr Osborne was talking about. Here we have
an Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile based presumably very
much on potential conflict with the Warsaw Pact. Then we are continually
learning new lessons, for instance from what is going on in Afghanistan
at the moment. How confident are you that the new process will
ensure that as these very long procurements go through a life
spanning many, many years you can take account of changing circumstances
and lessons from conflicts such as Afghanistan where you would
not expect a weapon like ASRAAM to be used at all?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) There is a general point there
which is not particular to ASRAAM. There is an issue there. The
issue is about these fixed price contracts for development programmes.
What that relies on is a very tight specification of what you
want the contractor to achieve, bolted down to a price and if
they achieve it they get paid. That is not a structure within
which it is very easy to introduce flexibility because magically
you will find that if you want to add a little element of performance
to one of the many characteristics the article has, you will pay
through the roof. If you want to say you would like to trade that
off by coming back on another one, you magically do not get much
money. Flexibility is very difficult. We have been struggling
with industry to find ways of gain-sharing on contracts, because
it is just a fact that all our contracts are encumbered with lots
of little changes to improve them during execution. There is nothing
surprising in that and we keep a very tight rein on the percentage
value. It is low single figure percent. We are far less prone
and far less able to delete elements of the requirement as we
go on and we do need to get better at this flexibility during
contract execution. It does not sit well with fixed price contracting,
which is why I said we have to do a little bit more work on that
to find a more flexible framework within which to deliver value
for money.
Chairman: Thank you very much for those general
comments. We shall now move into closed session. Would the press
and public now leave and all officials who are not concerned with
this particular inquiry.
The Committee continued to take evidence,
in private.
90. ASRAAM. May I start by referring you to
paragraph 3? This says, "The project began to run into technical
difficulties with the first three guided weapon firing trials
conducted between May 1996 and May 1997 when the missiles failed
to guide onto the remotely piloted full-scale target aircraft".
Why did the Department not foresee the future problems which are
outlined in paragraph 3 with the missile's performance and take
action to allay them?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) Some people in the Department
did and I give absolute credit here to the leader of the Integrated
Project Team who said we should judge whether anything is going
to come true by whether the simple commitments which are made
month by month by the company are actually delivered or whether
we are being so confused by the excellent explanations as to why
they have not been delivered that we start thinking that is a
reasonable position. So the leader of the Integrated Project Team
had a very simple criterion and that was "When will the next
missile test firing take place? Did it take place on that date?",
which implies the project is under control, "If it did take
place on the planned date, did it work?". A trend began to
be established over this period when you could see that it was
not going to go well. Endless meetings were held with the contractor
who was a little bit more confident at the time than he now wishes
he had been. We did predict it, we argued with the contractor,
but they are on a fixed price contract and they were promising.
They were also going through a period of reorganisation consequent
on the formation of a Franco-UK joint venture company called Matra
BAe Dynamics. Having let the contract on BAe Dynamics, the company
then went into this Matra BAe Dynamics structure. It took a while
for that to settle down. It is also true to say that the company
were buying the seeker from Hughes, now Raytheon who were one
of their major competitors. I do not think relationships in that
purchase were always quite as comfortable as they should have
been. So we had an industrial structure which was changing, we
had a key component being purchased from a competitor, but we
in the MOD saw the track record of this and it was my Integrated
Project Team leader who stuck out for that, said we would not
let them off these milestones and they were not delivering them.
91. Paragraph 5, "Matra BAe Dynamics voiced
their opinion that the contract specification contained a number
of ambiguities which if not resolved would cause yet further delays
to the programme". Why did you not discuss these ambiguities
with Matra BAe Dynamics rather than ignoring them?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) I do not think we did ignore
them. The contract provided for a resolution mechanism in the
event there were ambiguities. ****** Those who drew the contract
up foresaw that and there was a kind of internal disputes resolution
procedure which I am afraid did not produce a resolution of the
dispute, simply because we could not agree. Most of this is now
behind us. It is behind us in my mind so I now have to persuadeand
I think I am going to be successfulmy colleagues in the
Department that we have a good position. The missile is through
its blackest days. I am very comfortable now with ASRAAM. I am
not comfortable that it is late.
92. Paragraph 10, "In Matra BAe Dynamic's
view, the Department has been unclear as to the level of performance
now required from ASRAAM, but it believes that in some cases this
is several orders of magnitude greater than the performance originally
specified". Is that a fair comment?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) No, I do not think it is. The
idea that something should be several orders of magnitude means
in my book at least 100 times greater than specified. What I do
think is that there is a genuine perception in the company that
we are being more demanding. ******.
93. So you have not been over ambitious then
in terms of performance.
(Sir Robert Walmsley) I do not think we have; absolutely
94. How close are we to the resolution of this
(Sir Robert Walmsley) Weeks. The way it works is that
this excellent Integrated Project Team leader, who is quite a
tough cookie, goes into bat with the company and has produced
a proposition which I said was a good negotiating basis. He has
delivered that in negotiation. I now have to put that to my colleagues,
including Sir Jeremy, to make sure that the Department is content
and I sense I am sailing slightly close to the wind here but I
then have to put that to Ministers to make sure they are content
and I cannot pre-judge that. I am very much hoping that we will
deliver the first 60 missiles to the Air Force within a month
or so or a little bit more.
95. So they are entering service within the
next month or two.
(Sir Robert Walmsley) Well I hope so. That is subject
to everybody agreeing I am right. If they do not then we are going
to be . . .
96. How far below the performance you wanted
will it actually be when it enters service next month?
(Sir Robert Walmsley) Difficult to put a number on
this. ******. Having spoken to the pilot who has been flying it
since 1999 on a Tornado F3, I am absolutely clear that the Royal
Air Force at the junior operational pilot level want it and want
it now in preference to what they have got because they know it
is key. Admiral Blackham will give you the formal customer view.
97. How much more is it going to cost than originally
(Sir Robert Walmsley) I do not think it is going to
cost any more than originally; this is a fixed price contract.
98. You are happy with what your current forecasts
are and it is not going to cost us any more.
(Sir Robert Walmsley) I am just checking to make sure
I am not making that up. It is a fixed price contract.
99. If you are making it up we probably shall
not know you are.
(Sir Robert Walmsley) The variation from the approved
cost is that it is £9 million cheaper than it was at the
point of contract.
