Students Switch Off to Success
8 February 2013
Students living in UCL halls have made a great start in the Student Switch Off energy-saving campaign, taking simple actions to reduce their carbon footprint and helping their hall in the competition to save the most and win an end of year party.
Over October and November the leading residence Frances Gardner reduced its electricity consumption by 6% compared to its average use in previous years and across the five participating halls (James Lighthill, Astor College, Langton Close, Frances Gardner and Schafer House) 7766 Kwh and 4.19 tonnes of C02 have already been saved, the equivalent of boiling nearly 250,000 cups of tea!
Saving are the results of students engaging in a range of activities, with over 200 signing up to receive regular energy saving tips by email, over 150 having a go at our online climate change quiz and over 200 attending pizza parties that launched the campaign at the beginning of the year.
Forty students also attended a volunteer training session learning how to use peer to peer communications and social media to create environmental behaviour change. They have taken these skills back to their halls to get their friends to start taking actions like putting lids on pans when cooking and only boiling the water they need for their tea and coffee. Representatives from Student Switch Off have also visited the halls to chat to students and keep awareness high, while throughout the year there have been lots of opportunities to everybody to win prizes as rewards for their energy saving efforts.
Tapping into the power of social media is a key part of the campaign. Over 100 students have joining our facebook page - www.facebook.com/uclstudentswitchoff – where they share photos of themselves saving energy in return for cinema tickets, free bowling and probably the most popular prize, tubs of Ben and Jerry's! Over 100 photos have been shared, which have gathered over 300 'likes'. As people like and share the photos and posts the energy saving messages have reached to over 2000 people across facebook.
The campaign continues until the end of the academic year and the other halls have the chance to put in an extra energy saving effort and try and overtake Frances Gardner be crowned the energy saving champions.
Jesse Scharf, Student Switch Off Project Officer, said "I've been really impressed by the enthusiasm that UCL students have shown in getting involved. It provides a heartening example of the responsible attitude the next generation of young adults have towards our environment".

Attack ad?
Hard to know if the Democratic National Committee thinks it's hurting Newt with this, or helping him (video h/t ElectAd). I do think they're trying to frame Gingrich's image now that he's the frontrunner, consistent with the DNC's reaction at the debate last night:
Newt's Palestinian comment was more than about history
Palestinian national identity as it currently is recognized was a reaction to the creation of Israel and most prominently the 1967 war when Israel captured territory controlled by Egypt and Jordan. Newt Gingrich is under fire for stating this truth. It doesn't really change the equation on the ground, and there is…

- Cooking Time:
- Servings:
- Preparation Time:
- 1 slice bread, toasted
- sliced tomato
- 1 egg
- 1 slice cheese
- cracked pepper
- Put the stove on low heat, Pam the frying pan.
- Crack the egg into the pan, sprinkle the pepper over it and then immediately put the pan's cover over it.
- Cook until the white part starts to creep up over the yolk, put the slice of cheese over the egg and re-cover.
- Put the sliced tomato on the bread, as you wait for the cheese to met over the egg.
- Place the egg/cheese on the bread, serve with knife and fork.
NotesI think there's nothing better than an egg cooked over easy. This is quick and easy and relatively healthy in the morning.

Popular for one of the most authentic Japanese gardens outside of Japan, the Portland Japanese Garden is a 5.5-acre haven of tranquil beauty nestled in the scenic west hills of Portland, Oregon. Influenced by Shinto, Buddhist, and Taoist philosophies, there is always "something more" in these compositions of stone, water, and plants than meets the eye. Three of the essential elements used to create a Japanese garden are stone, the "bones" of the landscape; water, the life-giving force; and plants, the tapestry of the four seasons.

Gift From the PC Gawds
This review is from: Phanteks PH-PWHUB_01 PWM Fan Hub
Pros: The advantage to the Phanteks as opposed to Swiftech (PWM Only) or ModMyToys (DC Only) offerings is that it works with either PWM or DC variable voltage input to control less expensive 3 pin fans. If using PWM, you get the advantages of PWM while avoiding the potential buzzing, ticking noises when PWM fans are run at low speed..... kind of a "best of both worlds" kinda thing.
Cons: Only one comes with each Phanteks case .... you have to buy extras but at $15 a pop on Phanteks site, no worries.
Other Thoughts: This is how I am using (15) fans & 2 pumps

Miley Cyrus Supports Jamie Lynn Spearsby Mischalova at . Comments
Miley Cyrus appears to be the opposite of Jamie Lynn Spears. Talented. Innocent. Lacking an insane, older sister.
But the singer who portrays Hannah Montana has nothing but good things to say about the knocked up sibling of Britney Spears.
"We've actually been talking," Cyrus said.
"She's now really excited, so I'm proud of her."
Miley Cyrus and Jamie Lynn Spears: Friends forever!
As for pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears' impending baby with Casey Aldridge, Miley says her pal has "done the best she can."
We're not sure what that means. We guess it's true that Spears hasn't fallen down any stairs and caused a miscarriage.
they're both hillbilly trailer trash. it's the truth ya'll
miley cyrus and jamie lynn spears are both pretty even though jamie got pregnant i still kinda like her and i found jamie swearing at the paparazzi hilarious and ways kinda like jamie luv jamies singing and song follow me she must get her voice from her sister and lllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Miley Cyrus FOREVER

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals DE Dockett questions teammates who did not play
The Arizona Cardinals' 4-0 start seems like a long, long time ago.
Now 4-4, the team has slid into second place, and with a pair of tough road games on the docket it seems as if their losing skid will not come to a halt any time soon.
Frustration is certainly beginning to mount, and Arizona defensive lineman Darnell Dockett spoke after Monday nights' 24-3 loss about some of the players who were not on the field in what many viewed as a must-win game.
"Coach called out a lot of things [Monday] that I obviously wanted to say to some guys," Dockett said. "He called out some guys in the training room that we need on the field. We need them."
Among those who were inactive Monday night are tight end Todd Heap, who missed his sixth straight game due to a knee injury, and defensive back Greg Toler, who was out with a hamstring issue.
Guard Adam Snyder also missed the game, as he is dealing with a quadricep injury.
To be fair to both Dockett and the team's walking wounded, the player did not call anyone out by name and it would not be right to speculate who he (or Whisenhunt) were talking about. No matter what, though, things might need to change if the Cardinals are going to right the ship.
"We've got one more game before this bye week, and we've got to do whatever we have to do to win this game," Dockett said. "By all means necessary.
"So we're going to need some guys to suck it up to win this game, and they've got a whole week off. So hopefully that message rings a bell to a lot of players."

Film Review: Dark Secrets (aka Cold Earth) (2008)
SYNOPSIS: When a celebrity couple's daughter goes missing, everyone — including the police — believes a serial killer is the culprit. The truth, however, is not so cut-and-dried. With no clues or ransom note, detectives must look to old demons for answers.

After Aspen: Argentine Wines and Asado in Colorado
Just because the Food & Wine Classic officially wrapped (here's what we learned), didn't mean that the eating and drinking frenzy was over in Aspen. A few savvy lingerers stayed on to enjoy a getaway hosted by Argentine winemakers; suddenly, the Rockies transformed into the Andes, and Colorado cowboys became gauchos, as Terrazas de los Andes Winery showcased a food and wine tasting with a South American twist. Again, here's what we discovered:
Cowboy vs. Gaucho
At the T Lazy 7 Ranch, guests saddled up on horses and loped along mountain passes, learning that the first way for a cowboy to become a gaucho is to dress the part. Instead of the Stetson preferred by cowboys of the American West, gaucho hats are flatter, rounder, and have a wider brim. And gauchos prefer ponchos and loose-fitting "bombacha" pants, instead of long leather jackets and chaps. Also, gauchos use "bolas"—rocks fastened to leather straps for game hunting, instead of rifles. The saddle styles are different, too, with the gaucho seat padded with its signature thick sheepskin blanket instead of the harder, plainer American saddle, which cause Argentine riders to sit higher on a horse's back. What both gauchos and cowboys share: an appreciation for open country, an affinity for riding off into sunsets, and a hearty appetite for beef.
Barbecue vs. Asado
Every good gaucho journey is punctuated by an elaborate "asado," the Argentine barbecue technique that grills nearly every part of a cow—making use of all of the cuts, organs, and even the blood used in sausages. Using wood from prairie brush and grape vines, and a low and slow fire in an open pit is the key to good asado flavor. Argentine asadors (equivalent of American pitmasters) cook their meat, simply seasoned with salt and pepper, for hours. The traditional start to every asado: baked empanadas, which are delicious, meat-filled pastry pockets. And don't reach for the ketchup or bbq sauce. Chimichurri, a parsley and oil-based sauce, is the only condiment allowed out on the trail.
Winemaking, South American-style
Of course, the perfect complement to asado (or any Argentine meal for that matter), is wine. Through a tasting led by Herve Birnie-Scott, Terrazas de los Andes' winery director, the newly-anointed gauchos learned what makes wines from Argentina unique. First, there's the growing season, which in Argentina runs from October through February, so when the US vines are dormant and pruned, Argentine vines are bursting with fruit and ready for crushing. In the Mendoza region, which produces 60% of Argentina's wines, the terroir allows for precision winemaking, which is what lured many European vintners to the land (Malbec, Argentina's signature grape, came from the French in the 19th century where it grew in abundance in Bordeaux until the phylloxera plague wiped it out). Because of the region's high altitude and arid, desert climate, Mendoza has low pest and disease pressure, and therefore the growers use little or no pesticide. Clever irrigation, through channels, furrows, and dams, allow ample water to reach the vines from snow-melt from the Andean snow peaks. Wide temperature variation, between hot days and cool nights, allows for gradual ripening of the fruit. A fun fact: Torrontes, a lesser-known white wine, originated naturally in the highlands of Argentina as a derivative of two other European varieties. The crisp and sophisticated white is produced exclusively in Argentina.
A visit to Terrazas vineyards is probably the best way to obtain a first-hand education on Argentine wines, asado, and gaucho horsemanship. Those hankering for a bonafide "Gaucho Getaway" can stay at the guest house at Terrazas de los Andes vineyards in the heart of Mendoza wine country, where visitors can taste wines, ride horses, and enjoy a meal cooked by a personal asador.

I see where the Dallas Stars have signed Steve Ott to a four-year, $11.8-million contract extension, locking up the 27-year-old forward/enforcer through the 2013-14 season. Almost $3 million per season for 11 goals and 12 assists in 54 games. Lovely.

Matthew Sweet talks about the album cover of 'Girlfriend'
Matthew Sweet's album cover for Girlfriend is one of my favorite album covers. I've always been curious about the choice of the photograph and who that girl is on the cover. In an interview with Spin on the 20th anniversary of Girlfriend, Matthew Sweet explains it all:
"Record companies just want you to put a picture of yourself on the album cover. But there was something about her attitude that I liked. It's funny because she was only 13 or 14 years old in that photo. I had collected memorabilia of actresses from the '50s and '60s, like Kim Novak, Carol Baker, and Jean Seberg. It was hard to get Tuesday Weld to approve it, because she was a recluse and eccentric, but we finally got her approval. However, at the time, the album was called Nothing Lasts and the label got the idea that they should get a hold of Tuesday Weld and tell her that's what it was called. Which of course just made her feel like, "What do you mean 'nothing lasts' with my photo?" So I changed the title to Girlfriend at the eleventh hour, so we didn't have to mess with the Tuesday Weld photo. It was a better title for it because it was so much more positive, you know?"

The World Series of Fighting, the newest promotion set to land in Las Vegas, has requested the date of Nov 3 at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino for their debut show.
According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the upstart organization has requested that date and location for their first show.
The Planet Hollywood arena is set to hold upwards of 6,000 people for a live MMA show, and the World Series of Fighting stated there will be 10+ bouts on the first card.
In addition to the information about the first show debuting on Nov. 3, the World Series of Fighting appears close to announcing a television deal that will land them on the NBC Sports Network.
The NBC Sports Network is the new name for what once was the Versus network. At one time, both the UFC and the WEC broadcast shows on Versus until their deal expired and the promotion moved to the Fox family of networks.
The first World Series of Fighting card is expected to feature several former UFC and Strikeforce competitors including Roger Huerta, Joey Villasenor and John Gunderson.

I have been meaning to write a little something for the Kaboom website for quite some time. I've talked about it with Will at least a half dozen times, but lately it has been hard enough to find time to play MTG, let alone write an article on the subject. Still, I find myself thinking about it nearly every time I sit and draw seven (and mulligan to six, and too-often to five) and I can't think of a better time to get it done than after a GPT win.
Last week Kaboom hosted a Sealed Grand Prix Trial for Grand Prix Baltimore. In addition to the free wins at stake for GP Baltimore, Kaboom added two packs per person to the prize pool. All in all the tournament drew about twenty players to crack packs and sling spells. While I could go into detail about the individual matches I played and the decks I played against, I really want to talk about the format in general.
So far I have really enjoyed Khans Sealed (and Limited in general) and it seems that opinion is a common one for most players. I think what I enjoy most is the diversity of the deck design, both in Sealed and Draft. The game plan available to players is much wider than it was in previous blocks. In most blocks there is a clear and decisive "best" way to build your deck. I don't necessarily mean individual archetypes, though they tend to fit into the overall "best" game plans somehow. In Theros, for example, the steps to winning any limited event were: 1. Cast a creature. 2. Make him huge. 3. Never ever block with a creature you were not willing to lose. In Khans there are certainly superior and inferior strategies, but there are so many powerful ways to build a deck that a capable player can pilot almost any decently built deck to victory.
I think there a few reasons for this shift. The reintroduction of Morph into the format was more impactful than I thought it would be for a number of reasons. The common and uncommon dual lands provide more mana fixing than we've ever had in a Limited format, and those are in addition to Banners, mana fixing creatures and fetch lands. And while every set seems to have an underpowered color that feels like the runt of the litter, the colors in Khans feel equally playable as either a supplemental piece or primary base of the deck. The power level of the multicolor cards often means a player can lean on the complimentary aspects of a color without being hampered too much by its weaknesses.
I honestly believe any of the above reasons is worthy of an entire article, and maybe if readers enjoy my ramblings here I'll write another on one (or eventually all) of them. But when you put them all together they add up to a set that is radically different from its predecessors and makes it possible to build tempo, agro, midrange or long grinding decks without immediately putting yourself at a disadvantage against the field. The big bodies that feel like walls now have outlast, which essentially means they gain utility once you've balanced the battlefield and want to take up the offensive. Perhaps the biggest and most important evolution is the flexibility in color choice made possible by the dual lands.
There have always been a few areas that separate the solid Limited players from the novices; evaluating card power, picking up on signs while drafting and formulating an overall game plan for the deck come immediately to mind. But what most frequently separates the wheat from the chaff seems to be color discipline. I cannot count the number of times I have seen players "splash" red in their sealed deck for a dragon that costs XRR, or play three basic lands in their deck for the single off-color Mythic Rare they opened. Almost inevitably these players wind up holding a bomb in their hand they never manage to cast or draw two of those three mountains when all they really needed was another swamp. The abundance of dual lands in Khans, especially at common rarity, dramatically reduces the need for color discipline. Players can now play a three or even four color base and splash for a fifth color without being punished as they might have for playing a third color in M15. This helps mitigate the gap between the Spike and Timmy players, at least enough to allow the less competitive players to play a reasonable and enjoyable match with the bombs they desperately want to cast.
All in all I think Khans appeals to players because of its flexibility. Not only is it dramatically different from the sets we've grown accustomed to, but it balances skilled play with fun play in a way that appeals to all Magic players. Whether you want to play two color agro, five color surprise (that's a lot of Morph) or anything in between, the designers for Khans of Tarkir found a way to make anything possible. Draft picks are relevant almost to the last card and Sealed pools seldom require you to exclude powerful cards with little or no in-color support. Khans Limited formats offer Magic players exactly what they want, a competitive environment requiring skill and encouraging big, fun cards.
A few notes about the GPT itself:
Eriks Apelis, a player I already liked as a person, earned a tremendous amount of respect from me during the GPT. Eriks had as potent a card pool as I've seen in KTK sealed, but suffered absolutely horrific luck against me in both Swiss and elimination play. I've never had an opponent handle a rotten run of luck with the class and sportsmanship he displayed. Serious Kudos.
The only feeling better than Skull-hunting a Duneblast out of your opponent's hand is doing it again game two.
My opponent in the finals, Josh Peek, is the same person who initially invited me to car pool to Baltimore, offered me a place to stay during the GP (for free) and opened/registered my sealed card pool (he thought it was terrible). As far as I know, his offers still stand.

Senator Marco Rubio (C), Republican from Florida, speaks alongside (L-R) Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senator Robert... View Enlarged Image
Congress is starting to sound serious about overhauling a broken system. Its challenge is to stay focused on the national interest, not just on the future of 11 million illegals.
After many a false start, it seems that the force fields of politics are aligning to make real immigration reform possible.
President Obama wants a new deal for illegal immigrants to get Hispanics more securely in the Democratic Party fold.
Republicans, eyeing the same constituency, don't want to be on the wrong side of a losing fight.
So compromise, of all things, is in the air. On Monday, a bipartisan group of senators unveiled what they called a "tough but fair" overhaul plan that threads down the middle on the issue of how and when illegal immigrants can get legal residency, and eventually citizenship.
Under the plan, most of the undocumented could get temporary legal status by paying a fine and undergoing a background check.
However, none would be eligible for a green card until a state-federal commission certified that the border was secure and that a system was in place to make sure that visa holders aren't over-staying.
They also would not get green cards until everyone else already in line for permanent residency gets it.
Plenty of people on the left and right won't like this. President Obama and pro-immigrant activists want a much faster path of citizenship with fewer hurdles.
On the restrictionist side, any path (other than out of the country) is too much.
The Federation of American Immigration reform said the new proposal "creates a 'path to citizenship' for nearly all illegal aliens and offers empty promises of enforcement without providing any concrete details."
But brickbats from the party bases are nothing new, and they may be losing their force as the problem of illegal immigration fades.
Most Americans have their minds on other things these days, mostly having to do with the economy.
The great migration from Mexico that made illegal immigration such a hot-button issue has slowed, and plummeting birth rates south of the border make it unlikely to resume.
Also, it has probably dawned on most voters that there's no practical way to make most of the illegal immigrants leave.
Kicking them out en masse isn't easy, cheap or — in the case of those who came here as children and have no real home outside the U.S. — particularly fair.
Nor do many of them "self-deport," as Mitt Romney unfortunately put it during the 2012 campaign. Many of them do jobs, especially in agriculture, that Americans shun.

NHS workers agree first Wales-only pay deal
Union leaders representing NHS workers in Wales have settled their pay dispute with the Welsh Government, by accepting a new two-year deal.
It is the first Wales-only pay deal for NHS staff, on negotiations that have been traditionally UK-wide, but some have questioned whether this will open the floodgates to other regional pay settlements.
Included in the deal is a 1 per cent pay rise from next April, a cash payment of £187, and the living wage implemented for all directly-employed staff from 1 January 2015.
The pay settlement does not include doctors and dentists.
Members of the Unison union called off a planned strike earlier this month, after the Welsh Government improved its offer.
Council chief slams Welsh Government funding cut
A council leader has criticised the Welsh Government's decision to cut £1.6m of funding to the organisation which represents local authorities. You can catch up on the story by clicking here.
The Deputy leader of Flintshire council, Labour's Bernie Attridge, has taken to twitter to voice his concern about the reduction.
@adrianmasters84 @leightonandrews it's all aboutControl at Cardiff Bay! taking away local democracy and centralising it in Cardiff #shame
@adrianmasters84 @leightonandrews North Wales will become the forgotten part of Wales within years #north #south #divide
Minister vows to cut the cost of local politics in Wales
Public Services minister Leighton Andrews has defended his decision to withdraw £1.6m of funding to the Welsh Local Government Association. Here he tells Political Editor Adrian Masters that the Welsh Government is committed to fewer councils and councillors and that it will 'reduce the cost of politics in local government.'
Cut in grant "an unexpected blow" says WLGA
The Welsh Local Government Association has said it "deeply regrets" the loss of a £1.65 million grant from the Welsh Government, about 20% of its total funding. It's also been warned that ministers will be looking at whether other grants should be cut as well.
The decision to cut the grant was only received by the WLGA on 10th November without any prior consultation, detailed explanation or justification. The grant has underpinned a range of local services and been used to assist councils in difficulty. As a result of this decision, the WLGA has had to inform the 16 staff directly affected by the minister's decision that we will be issuing compulsory redundancy notices. This is a huge and unexpected blow to hard working and dedicated public servants who in the run up to Christmas now have to plan for unemployment in the new year. They will be consulting their trade unions.
The spokesperson added that the other grants now under review include an award winning GP exercise referral scheme, as well as schemes to improve food in schools, raise waste awareness, improve social services, increase equality, support the Welsh language and deal with the impact of welfare reform.
Education Minister: Schools need to act on numeracy
Education Minister Huw Lewis has demanded that schools here show greater urgency to improve standards of numeracy, in line with Welsh Government agenda.
The Welsh Government introduced the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework in 2012, which is designed to get both key areas being taught in other subjects, across the curriculum.
Annual numeracy tests for pupils aged 7 to 14 began in May 2013.
Estyn praised the initiatives, for raising expectations, and says time spent training has increased.
However, the education watchdog says numeracy is still not seen as a priority in a minority of schools - and only half have developed appropriate plans for improving pupils' numeracy skills across the curriculum.
Huw Lewis said: "we do need to make sure every school pays much more than lip service to these initiatives."
The Education Minister has announced a new national conference for heads of maths at Welsh schools, on 28 January next year, to share best practice and hear from international experts.
Key findings from Estyn report on numeracy standards
Pupils' skills:
- The majority of pupils in the survey have an appropriate understanding of times-tables, the four rules of number, place value and fractions
- However, pupils' numerical reasoning skills are not strong enough
- Too many pupils lack confidence with division and percentages, impeding their ability to interpret results and solve problems
Schools' provision:
- Only around half of schools have developed suitable provision for numeracy, although this is an increase on previously
- Numeracy is still not a high priority in a minority of the schools inspected
- Teachers often lack sufficient mathematical subject knowledge to plan and deliver effective lessons
- In a majority of schools visited, teachers are uncertain of what the term 'numerical reasoning' means and how it translates into classroom activities
- In around half of schools planning is still too superficial and does not raise standards
- The quality of marking numeracy work is not good enough - and the monitoring of numeracy skills remains underdeveloped
Numeracy skills 'weak' in over half of Welsh schools
Pupils' numeracy skills are still weak in more than half of primary and secondary schools in Wales inspected by Estyn in the last year.
The education watchdog has released the second in a series of three reports on key mathematics skills among 7 to 14-year-old children, and the quality of their teaching.
Estyn has found some pupils struggling with skills like division and percentages - as only around half of schools have suitable provision for numeracy.
The Welsh Government has made it a priority in recent years - with annual testing and the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework designed to get key maths skills into other lessons across the curriculum.
It is pleasing to note the progress made by around half of the schools we inspected. However, it is important to emphasise that there is still a long way to go before schools make a full and consistent impact on improving the standards of pupils' numeracy skills.
There are still too many pupils who lack confidence in key aspects of mathematics, such as division and working with percentages.
Staff need more support to widen their knowledge and understanding of strategies to help pupils to use numeracy across the curriculum.

Welsh Govt reduces funds to council association
The Welsh Local Government Association, which represents the 22 county and county borough councils in Wales, is losing £1.62 million of its funding from the Welsh Government. It will still get some £5 million but the minister responsible, Leighton Andrews, is also inviting other cabinet ministers to review whether the grants they give to the WLGA are still appropriate.
My decision [is] to discontinue the grant the Welsh Government pays to the Association to provide improvement support to Local Authorities in Wales from April 2015. This year, the grant is a maximum of £1.62 million. It is right that we regularly review grant arrangements to all organisations particularly in a time when we have to prioritise our resources very carefully.
I have not taken this decision lightly. I considered a number of options and concluded this funding would be better directed towards activities which are more clearly aligned to our ambitions for the reform of public services in Wales. It might be that the WLGA itself, and its member organisations, should reflect on whether it is right for a membership organisation to receive more than 75% of its income from the Welsh Government.
Mr Andrews is in charge of encouraging councils to merge voluntarily, with the likelihood of compulsory mergers for local authorities that to fail to co-operate. It's a proposal bitterly opposed by many of the WLGA's members.
Unison Boss says UK wide settlement would have been better.
Dawn Bowden,the Head of Health at Unison Cymru Wales says the union would have preferred a UK wide settlement. She added that this was the first year that governments in different parts of the UK have taken different positions from each other.She said that this wasn't an ideal situation.

Details of NHS pay offer revealed
Welsh NHS staff are being given details of an improved pay offer that's led Unison to call off a half-day strike planned for Monday. It includes a £187 lump sum and a commitment by the Welsh Government to a 1% pay increase next April, in addition to any increments. The full offer is as follows:
- £187 (An increase on the £160 previously offered)
- A 1% rise from next April, on top of any annual increment
- All workers to receive at least the living wage of £7.85 an hour from January. The recent increase in the living wage means that this will now benefit 4,500 people, who will get a rise of between 2.5% and 5%
For the lowest paid of our members, it is in fact a very good deal
Unison is not actually recommending the deal to its members but is telling them that it's the best that can be achieved through negotiation. It's a two year deal, with pay strategy from 2016 onwards looked at by an NHS Wales Workforce Commission.
The union says it makes its pay claims for the UK as a whole but as health is devolved, different outcomes are always possible. This year a pay review recommended a 1% rise. This was accepted by the Scottish Government but the UK government said that it would not pay it in England to workers getting an annual increment.
