HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A federal judge upheld Connecticut's gun control law on Thursday, saying the sweeping measure is constitutional even as he acknowledged the Second Amendment rights of gun owners who sued to block it.
The law, which Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed last April after months of negotiations in the legislature, was not entirely written "with the utmost clarity," U.S. District Judge Alfred Covello said in his 47-page decision. Still, several provisions are "not impermissibly vague in all of their applications and, therefore, the challenged portions of the legislation are not unconstitutionally vague."
Lawmakers, responding to the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 20 children and six educators on Dec. 14, 2012, banned the sale of large-capacity magazines and made more weapons illegal under the state's assault weapons ban.
"While the act burdens the plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights, it is substantially related to the important governmental interest of public safety and crime control," Covello ruled.
Brian Stapleton, the lawyer for a group of Connecticut organizations that support gun rights, pistol permit holders and gun sellers, said he will appeal.
"This is a disappointing decision, but not entirely surprising," he said. "This is a long way from over."
Stapleton said the ruling acknowledges the plaintiff's Second Amendment rights "before it guts them."
Malloy said in a statement that the court made the right decision.
"The common-sense measures we enacted last session will make our state safer and I am grateful for the court's seal of approval," the governor said.

Is it still too early, John Lackey apologists?
Can we go ahead and question if this $82.5 million contract is a complete and utter disaster?
The apologists have been pretty clear in their defense of Lackey, who in his last start put up an Aron Garcia line (4 IP, 10 hits, eight runs) in a spot where the Red Sox needed him to be -- at the very worst -- an innings-eater. (You might remember this start came the day after the 13-inning game vs. Anaheim that ended at 2:45 a.m. If not, go back and read the Twitter feeds of the beat writers, who acted as if they were stuck in a mine in Chile instead of a warm press box, stuffing their faces with soda, cookies and popcorn while checking their fantasy teams and sending each other snarky emails about other media members.)
The defense of Lackey goes something like this: Why do you care about the money? You aren't signing the checks. And sure, he's not an ace, but you can do a hell of a lot worse than John Lackey as your No. 3 or No. 4 starter.
Well, we are now about to witness the 40th start of the John Lackey Era for the Sox on Wednesday in Toronto (should be 41, but they skipped one of his starts, always a good sign for the highest-paid pitcher in franchise history). I don't think "small sample size" applies any longer. And here's what the Red Sox have received for the $23 million or so they've paid Lackey to date:
A 16-15 record (same as Brandon "The Murderer" Melendez, a man who isn't exactly one of our finest MMA performers).
An ERA of 4.76, or the same career ERA as the immortal Chris Holt, who pitched for the for the Astros from 1996-2000 and the Tigers in 2001 before pulling a Mr. Baseball and taking his talents to Yokohama. Holt's record was 28-51 and he made $3.57 million in career, or about what Lackey makes in six starts.
The Red Sox signed Lackey with the knowledge that he probably wasn't going to win (or even really challenge) for a Cy Young in any year of his contract. It was a clear overpay at the time, but they tried to sell us on the idea of a sure thing. This wasn't going to be Pedro Martinez circa 2000, but it wasn't going to be Matt Clement. Durability, 200+ innings a year, high teens in wins and ERA in the mid-to-high 3.00's and security that a "big-game pitcher" would be on the mound when it mattered. That was the definition.
Let's look at it another way: Lackey's WHIP in his 39 starts with the Sox is 1.46. Matt Clement's WHIP in 44 starts with the Red Sox was 1.46.
So far -- and I've seen nothing to suggest it's going to change -- John Lackey's Red Sox career can accurately be defined as this:
Matt Clement Redux.
And that's not even being fair to Clement, who wasn't the same pitcher after being hit in the head by a Carl Crawford liner (no, really, he used to hit liners) in July of 2005. Clement was never going to be great -- his ERA was 4.43 at the time of the Crawford liner -- but he fell off a cliff after, posting a 6.61 ERA in 12 starts in 2006 before getting shut down for the season with a torn labrum and rotator cuff that never again allowed him to pitch.
No such misfortunate has fallen on Lackey. No excuses for what we have seen over the last 13 months. He's been the sure thing the Sox were expecting, an absolute portrait of consistency. Consistently Clement-esque.
Of the 43 AL pitchers who threw enough innings to qualify for the ERA title last year, Lackey ranked 34th. (He was paid more than the top five finishers in the AL in ERA -- Clay Buchholz, Trevor Cahill, Jered Weaver, Dallas Braden and Felix Hernandez -- combined.) WHIP? He finished 36th.
OK. It happens, right? Tough adjustment to the AL East, everyone has a down year, maybe some lousy luck, all that stuff.
Well, now we are nearing the middle of May in 2011 -- again, sample sizes are getting close to fair, I think -- and guess where Lackey ranks out of the 56 AL pitchers eligible for the ERA title? That would be 56th. WHIP? 55th -- thank you, Kyle Davies (making $3.2 million).
Forget the contract for a second. Lackey to this point has been lousy value if they had signed him to a two-year, $5 million deal. He's been the worst starting pitcher in the American League since he joined the Sox. The reality is that they would have been better off keeping Tim Wakefield in the rotation -- how much worse than the very worst pitcher in the AL could Wakefield be, and at a fourth the cost? -- and using the $82 million somewhere else. And that's why the contract matters.
For Sox fans, Lackey has lost all currency in just a year and a month. They don't care that he led the AL in ERA in 2007, or won a World Series in 2002. That's 50 sports lifetimes ago. Gone, even, is the respect for the guy who shut down the Sox in Game 1 of the 2009 ALDS. There is no expectation when he steps on the mound. He's just another pitcher.
And I think -- at 39 starts and counting -- we've seen enough to know that it's not going to change.

Area state legislators met with local journalists and a few interested citizens at today's legislative preview hosted by the East Tennessee Society of Professional Journalists. Several topics came up in the informal discussion, and one was conspicuously missing.
In attendance (in order of seating) were Rep. Art Swann (R-Maryville), Rep. Harry Brooks (R-Knoxville), Rep. Ryan Haynes (R-Knoxville), Rep. Bob Ramsey (R-Maryville), Sen. Randy McNally (R-Oak Ridge), Sen. Becky Duncan-Massey (R-Knoxville), Rep. Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville), Sen. Doug Overbey (R-Maryville), Rep. Bill Dunn (R-Knoxville), and Rep. Joe Armstrong (D-Knoxville). Sen. Stacey Campfield declined to attend.
(Rep. Armstrong had to leave early because an urgent situation came up demanding his attention.)
Moderator Brandon Hollingsworth of WUOT/NPR sat in for Tom Humhprey, who unfortunately was not able to make it over from Nashville due to the weather. The discussion started with audience questions (we may get to that later in part 2) and somewhere in the middle Greg Johnson asked if each legislator could summarize their focus for the upcoming session.
Rep. Swann is chair of the Business and Utilities sub-committee (formerly Commerce). He is working on a bill that will require the state dept. of Economic and Community Development to allocate at least 50% for small business as opposed to "trophy hunting." He will also propose term limits. He also wants to look at passenger rail and extending rail freight.
Rep. Brooks said that his focus remains on education and making sure every child has every opportunity to be prepared for post-secondary education or a career. He also mentioned going back to fund BEP components that have not been funded.
Rep. Haynes is chair of the State Government Committee (formerly State and Local Government). Will have a bill requiring that public notices are published in newspapers. He is also on the Civil Justice committee and will pursue the Constitutional amendment requiring merit selection of judges v. election. He said he was previously opposed to it but has come around.
Rep. Ramsey is on the State Government and the Health Committees. He will be working on the Financial Management Act of 2013 to standardize county financial management statewide. He will also work on the Step Up bill which allocates lottery scholarship funds for intellectually disabled students to attend special post-secondary education programs. Ramsey also praised Speaker Harwell's committee reorganization, and in the process made an interesting point that committees are where the public (and special interests) can be heard on issues before the legislature.
Sen. McNally chairs the Finance Ways and Means committee which controls the state's purse strings. He said Gov. Haslam will introduce the state budget at Monday's state of the state, and that the legislature would have its first hearing Tuesday morning. He expects it to be a $32 billion budget. He noted that the budget was cut $1.5 billion during the 2007-2008 financial crisis, and that since then revenues have grown but not as fast as expected and that sales tax growth has been stagnant. He also said there are still structural imbalances in the budget. He also noted that rainy day funds are too low, down from $1.2 billion to $400 to $500 million. He also mentioned he would be working on criminal justice and drug laws, saying justice has gone overboard protecting criminals. He cited a case of a defendant with $500 million in assets claiming indigence and getting a state appointed lawyer.
Sen. Massey said she has spent time meeting and getting to know every state commissioner. She is on the Calendar Committee which schedules floor votes. In Government Operations, she said road projects are always popular topics, and mentioned the South Knoxville meeting on the James White Parkway extension. On Health, she noted that the state has moved up in rankings from number 42 to 39 but more work is needed. She would like to focus more on preventive health. She will also be working on pain clinic regulation.
Rep. Johnson, noting that she's the "new kid on the block," said she would sponsor the Scenic Vistas mountaintop removal prevention bill. She said that although she's not on the education committee she would be introducing legislation on education.
Sen. Overbey is working on an Assisted Outpatient Treatment mental health bill started by Tim Burchett. Sen. Overbey said 44 states have one and he doesn't understand why they are able to figure it out and we can't. He said there's a pilot program in Knoxville and now Shelby County wants to do one and he will support it. He also mentioned Medicaid expansion, and said that while it's difficult to think about putting 250,000 people back on the rolls in the current budget environment, hospitals and particularly rural hospitals are still treating these patients but not getting paid. He said he is waiting for Gov. Bredesen's leadership, noting that the Gov. has a full time job with a full-time staff of commissioners and advisers to assist him on policy v. legislators who are part time. Sen. Overbey is also working to get the judicial selection constitutional amendment on the ballot for the 2014 election. He proposes legislation to extend the current system until voters decide. On lottery scholarships, Sen. Overbey said he warned about problems with the 120 hour cap when it passed and will introduce legislation to fix it. His bill would fund eight full semesters regardless if the student has taken more than the required hours to graduate. He is also working on the Step Up scholarships for people with intellectual disabilities, noting that Vanderbilt and UT have programs for these students.
Rep. Dunn said that in April he would introduce a resolution honoring the Lady Vols and Coach Warlick on their National Championship. On a more serious note, he said this is an exciting time of education reform in Tennessee and that the state is making progress in "leaps and bounds" and getting on the national radar. He expects to follow the path set out by Gov. Haslam and Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman.
Rep. Armstrong had already left by this time, but in an earlier discussion about Medicaid expansion he expressed strong support for participating and for establishing our own state health insurance exchange. He said that we should be the rulers of our own destiny on this instead of letting the DHHS Secretary in Washington write rules for us. He noted that most of the beneficiaries would be people aged 55 to 65, and that the preventive health features would save taxpayers and TennCare money by treating things like heart disease early instead of waiting to pay $250,000 for heart surgery later. He also recognized UT graduate Nancy-Ann DeParle, who grew up in Rockwood, as Obama's chief architect of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The topic of school vouchers did not come up. It was supposed to be on the moderator's agenda, but the Q&A session went in other directions. The legislative priority statements by each legislator began before I had a chance to ask about it, and then it was over. Sen. Overbey told me before the meeting got underway that he was still waiting for Gov. Haslam's proposal.
When discussing the TNCare Expansion, did they mention....
The GOP sponsored Bill that will reject the TnCare expansiion? It was co-sponsored by at least 9 totally uneducated Legislators, ignorant of the following facts:
If Tennessee accepts this TnCare expansion, it will immediately receive over $5 Billion and will not have to pay a penny back for 2 years.
If accepted, this Expansion will bring hundreds of new jobs here, including hiring desparately needed medical professionals.
And it would definitely prevent the closure of over 100 hospitals across this State because these facilities are already LOSING federal dollars they have received for treating uninsured patients.
Apparently these GOP/TEA legislators do not care for helping our poor, low income, uninsured, many of whom live in THEIR districts. Just like Campfield, they seem to hate our poor and vulnerable. And Haslam cannot over-ride their ignorance. Joe knows all the details of the ACA and was listing truths about it. However, here it is all about the hate of one person...Barack Obama. If the ACA had been titled "Romney care",...well...
Stacey was a no show AGAIN?

I am sorry that I missed this. It is always an interesting event that provides much more than is reported.

Is Personal Interaction Losing Out To Technological Advances?
Over the years, I've been involved in a lot of talk about technology and the increased role it plays in the overall hospitality experience. Most tried-and-true hoteliers have taken the position that while it's important to be up to date and provide the latest amenities guests expect, technology can never be a substitute for the personal interactions and hospitality that hotels strive to provide.

Do you know what I miss?
The feeling of someone wanting me as much as I want them, a mutual addiction. Knowing someone is so excited to see me, to spend time with me, to look at me with such want and lust in their eyes knowing they wouldn't want to be with any other person in the world.

Africa Israel Residences, part of the Africa Israel Investments Group led by international businessman Lev Leviev, will present 7 leading projects on the The Israel Real Estate Exhibition in New York on Sep 14-15, 2014.
Was the only Israeli on the International Olympic Committee instrumental in stopping a tribute to the Munich 11 at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Games?
In the past few weeks, a war of words has erupted between the official, Alex Gilady, and the families of the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches murdered by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Games. They allege that his opposition hurt their cause.
Gilady actually covered the Munich Games for Israel TV and today is senior vice president of NBC Sports, where he focuses on international business. In 2006 he was inducted into Israel's International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and was given a lifetime achievement award from the Hall.
The families failed in their bid for a minute of silence during the London Olympics opening ceremonies to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the terror attack. Their campaign could not persuade the IOC despite garnering more than 111,000 signatures on a petition from more than 105 countries, as well as support from President Obama and numerous other national leaders and legislators around the world.
Even after meeting with two of the Munich 11 widows, IOC President Jacques Rogge refused to budge on his opposition to the moment of silence.
Some Jewish activists point the finger directly at Gilady for the outcome.
"I believe he was part of the decision" not to go ahead, said Steve Gold, chair of the Munich 11 Minute of Silence Petition and vice president of the JCC Rockland in suburban New York. "By having an Israeli who's on the IOC not supporting the minute of silence, it gave the IOC a bit more credibility."
For his part Gilady, who refused to specifically discuss the issue with JTA, told Insidethegames.biz in May that when it came to the moment of silence, "The unity of the Olympic movement is the most important one" and "Therefore, I am not supporting such a move." He added that "Such an act may harm the unity of the Olympics."
Days before the London Olympics opened, Gilady told the Chicago Tribune that he was acting "in [the] best interest of Israeli sport. For me, the most important thing at the moment is that Israel have (sic) stages to compete on." He recalled for the Tribune how Israel was thrown out of the Asian Olympic Association in 1981 and did not regain a continental sports affiliation until Rogge, among others, helped Israel become a member of the European Olympic Committees in 1994.
There would not be an "appropriate commemoration in the Olympic stadium," Gilady told the Tribune, until "there is peace."
Others, to put it lightly, disagree.
In a recent Foxnews.com piece that went viral, Guri Weinberg, son of the murdered wrestling coach Moshe Weinberg, published his own account of a meeting with Gilady in Atlanta in 1996, two years after Gilady was appointed to the IOC and as that city was hosting the Olympics.
Weinberg, an actor who is in the cast of the next installment of the hit movie series "Twilight," alleged that Gilady told him that any memorial for the Israelis would necessitate a similar one for the Palestinian terrorists who died in the attack.
As one of the Munich 11 widows recalled her husband's torture and murder, Gilady listened "stone cold with no emotion," then excused himself from the meeting "without a hint of empathy," Weinberg wrote.
Asked about the article in a telephone interview with JTA, Gilady angrily quoted Rudyard Kipling's 1895 classic poem "If."
"If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools …," he said.
In denying Weinberg's story, Gilady said, "The Fox News story was misquoted already 16 years ago."
Weinberg did not reply to an interview request for this article, but Ilana Romano, widow of murdered weightlifter Yossef Romano, was at the Atlanta meeting. She told JTA that Weinberg's account was accurate, although it was her and another widow, Ankie Spitzer, who walked out and not Gilady.
"We got up and went because he was so insulting and hurtful," she said.
As for Gilady's opposition to the minute of silence, she said, "I think it's terrible idiocy. It's a lack of consideration, a lack of respect for those who were murdered. It's giving in to terror."

-Often busy pace, There is always something to do.Cons
-The hours and general scheduling if left alone can leave a lot to be desired, Often chewing up your whole day.
-Promotion is seemingly possible, but unfortunately with as many deciding factors as there are in the automobile service, and sales industry, it is very easy to slip up and have that be the cause of getting passed over for a promotion or bonus.
-The constant feeling of micromanagement is felt in just about everything that one as a Valet does. (The Greeters tell Valet's what to do, The Asst. Lead Valet tells Valet's what to do. The Lead Valet tells Valet's what to do, The Asst. Service Managers, or Service Advisors usually don't get involved, but their higher-ups, Service Managers will step in and tell Valet's what to do. Even the Service Director, and up on higher will tell Valet's what to do. )
In short, there is almost as many management figures as there are Valet's, And at times it can be very disconcerting, and even irritating to go take care of a task and have 5 different levels of management ask/tell you about it.
-The Asst. Service Managers at times can be lackadaisical in their response to a waiting client on the service drive.
-As with any environment where there are many in the same position, there is the usual element of competitive smearing (Someone in your same position making you look bad in front of management or fellow peers), and gossip. Word gets to management quickly over any little quibble.Advice to ManagementAdvice
-Allow one to take ownership over their work and perfect it.
-Make promotion an even more attractive and attainable incentive, not just a carrot on a stick in front of the proverbial donkey.Approves of CEO

Gov signs ban on partner benefits for unmarried public employees
By Todd Heywood
Originally printed 1/5/2012 (Issue 2001 - Between The Lines News)
Updated Jan. 2, 2012
On Dec. 23 Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law HB 4770 which prohibits public employers from providing partner benefits to unmarried partners of public employees.
There had been some speculation that Snyder would not sign the bill when he asked the legislature to take the bill back and amend it to expressly prohibit the law from stopping universities from offering such benefits. Snyder has said that he does not believe the state can regulate the universities because of the autonomy afforded them by the state constitution.
House analysts said the legislation would not exclude universities, but Senate analysts said it would.
"In a signing letter to the legislature, Snyder reiterated the fact that higher education institutions would not be included in H.B. 4770 as the constitutional autonomy of universities has been reviewed and affirmed many times by the courts since the adoption of the 1963 Michigan Constitution. Members of classified state civil service are also not covered by the terms of H.B. 4770 as the constitution gives the Michigan Civil Service Commission responsibility for setting rates of compensation and regulating all conditions of employment in the classified service," said the Governor's press release.
"The decision to take healthcare benefits away from families just in time for the holidays is mean-spirited and cruel. Governor Snyder had an opportunity to show real leadership and put an end to the political games; instead he approved an extreme policy that sets our state back, jeopardizes our economy and puts our families at risk," said Kary Moss, executive director of the Michigan ACLU. "The bill serves no other purpose than to single out a small minority of people and deprive them of critical protections as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. We are prepared to challenge this law on behalf of Michigan families in the coming weeks."
"This decision was made after a difficult review process, with the ultimate determination that it would NOT apply to public universities. This issue had not been something on the Governor's agenda, and he's looked at it solely from an economic point of view," said Sara Wurfel's, a spokesperson for Snyder.
Emily Dievendorf, policy director at Equality Michigan, also slammed the governor for the signing.
"Governor Snyder's support for these bills is appalling. Today, the Governor told unmarried public employees that they can no longer care for their partners or children. He has put hardworking gay and lesbian couples and their children into harm's way by eliminating important health care coverage. He has spent the last two years talking about creating a welcoming state with a attractive business climate, and these bills fly in the face of those goals," said Dievendorf. "All families in our state, including gay and lesbian families, should have fair access to health care coverage. Governor Snyder caved to the radical social agenda coming from the legislature. He has rejected our shared commitment to economic growth. In order to compete in today's global business environment, we must build a culture that prioritizes fundamental fairness. This law will only serve to hurt Michigan."
Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer (D-East Lansing) called the bill signing "disgusting," and noted that she was concerned the governor had signed the legislation without knowing for sure who it would actually apply to.
Meanwhile, Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan, put out a press release praising the governor for his signature on the legislation.
Democratic State Sen. Steve Bieda (D-Warren) said he was disappointed the governor had signed the bill.
"If there is any question this governor is a moderate, that has just gone out the door," said Bieda. "The rest of the country we want to attract the best and brightest into the state. I think it sends a message about what kind of state we are. I think it is particularly cruel happening two days before the holidays. It is going to be traumatic and extraordinarily disruptive to a number of families across the state. I had hoped the Gov's better nature would have prevailed, but evidently not."

Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate supporters of far-reaching immigration legislation accepted minor changes in public while negotiating over more sweeping alterations in private Monday as they drove toward expected Judiciary Committee approval by mid-week.
In a long day of drafting, the panel voted to begin phasing in a requirement for foreigners to undergo fingerprinting when they leave the country. Lawmakers also agreed to make an immigrant's third drunk driving conviction a deportable offense in some cases.
At the same time, officials expressed optimism that agreement was in sight in complex private talks over proposed changes to a section of the legislation relating to H-1B high skilled visas. As drafted, the bill would raise the current cap from 65,000 annually to 110,000, with the possibility of a further rise to 180,000.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, whose state is home to a burgeoning high tech industry, sought changes to reduce the cost and other conditions on firms that rely on highly skilled foreign labor.
He told reporters he is prepared to support the overall legislation when the committee votes on final passage if an agreement is reached on the issues. "The way it was written they're going to move offshore," he said of firms seeking changes.
In general, organized labor and its allies on the committee, including Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., wanted tougher conditions than industry was seeking, part of an attempt to assure than American workers are not disadvantaged by a larger influx of H-1B visa holders.
At its core, the legislation would provide an opportunity of U.S. citizenship to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, create a new visa program for low-skilled workers and permit a sizeable increase in the number of high-tech visas, at the same time it mandates new measures to crack down on future unlawful immigration.
The full Senate is expected to begin debate on the legislation next month.
In two previous weeks of deliberations, supporters of the legislation have demonstrated their command over the committee's proceedings, alternately accepting some proposals advanced by the bills critics and rejecting others — all without losing a single showdown.
The same pattern held true as the committee embarked on its third and final week of drafting.
On a vote of 13-5, the legislation's supporters agreed to require foreigners leaving the country through any of the nation's 30 busiest airports to submit to fingerprinting, part of an attempt to strengthen security.
"This is an agreement that we need to build toward a biometric visa exit system," said Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. He said the system is "long overdue." Most of the committee's Democrats supported the provision, along with four Republicans. Among them were GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Flake of Arizona, two the so-called Gang of Eight that negotiated the bill's basic framework over many months.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, advanced the drunk-driving amendment, a proposal that stipulates at least one of three convictions must occur after enactment of the law. It cleared on a vote of 17-1.
It appeared unlikely the issue of the high tech visas would be settled formally until Tuesday.
High-tech companies sought a change in the bill's requirement that they show they've tried to recruit U.S. workers before hiring anyone on an H-1B visa. Hatch's original proposal would make the regulation apply only on the firms most heavily dependent on H-1B visas, not on those where 85 percent of the jobs are filled by American citizens.
Hatch also has an amendment to change a requirement in the bill seeking to ensure that U.S. workers are not displaced by the hiring of foreigners.

Gene leaves the Robins
Hull Kingston Rovers assistant first team coach Stanley Gene has left the club with the former Papua New Guinea international now expected to take up a full-time role with Gateshead.
Gene, who made more than 170 appearances for the Robins as a player, has divided his time this season between his position at the KC Lightstream Stadium and working part-time as head coach of the Thunder.
Steering KR's partner club to the play-offs in Championship 1, he is now set to take up a full-time position in the North East after Rovers boss Chris Chester opted to bring in his own staff for 2015.
I'm disappointed that I won't be staying at Rovers, a club that means a lot to me, but I wish everybody here all the best for next season.
I had a chat with Chezzy when he took over about what he had in mind for next year and he was up front about wanting to bring his own people in. It was tough to take at first but I understand his reasons why.
I've learned a lot over the past three years and I'm grateful to Hull KR for giving me an opportunity to come back to the club after my playing days finished. I love the club and the fans and I leave with some great memories. I'll be in the stands supporting the team as often as I can next season and who knows, maybe I'll be back here as a coach one day.
You have to move on in life and I'm excited about taking on a bigger role at Gateshead. I'm really proud of what the team achieved this season and my focus now is on having another good year in 2015.
Humberside removed from Royal Mail database
Campaigners are celebrating after a long-running battle with Royal Mail to have 'Humberside' removed from use. The ceremonial county ceased to exist in 1996, but letters have continued to be postmarked with the term. 'Humberside' has been removed from Royal Mail's address database.
Royal Mail can confirm that the technical change required to suppress the automatic reference to North and South Humberside as a Former Postal County on PAF products supplied to customers was implemented from July as part of a pilot scheme.
This now means that no Former Postal County details will be shown for all Postcodes previously tagged with a Humberside reference.
The actual change may take a little time to filter down through address lists as its implementation is dependent upon how frequently customers and businesses update their own data.
There may still be some instances where addresses may have North or South Humberside appearing due to organisations either not updating their databases or preferring to continue to use the locality which is beyond our control.
Concessionary Bridge tolls start for cancer patients
Cancer patients from North and North East Lincolshire who are beginning treatment at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham will start to benefit from concessionary bridge tolls today.
Last month, the Humber Bridge Board announced that it would be using the discretion afforded by the new Humber Bridge Act to enable certain patients receiving cancer treatment to cross toll-free for a trial six-month period.
Now the first patients to benefit from the concessions will be able to travel across the Humber Bridge for treatment without having to worry about the cost of their crossings.
An estimated 60 cancer patients per month will benefit from toll-free crossings, with tickets administered through Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust.

Best Nicoise salad in a long time, washed down with a hugely over-priced bottle of wine at 35E which we had enjoyed the previous evening at Blandys for 7E, but Blandys don't have marble columns, huge staff outgoings, view, airs, deep carpets and chandeliers.
