Rivlin Says Investors Believe Washington Will Settle Debt Debate
Alice Rivlin, a former Federal Reserve vice chairman, said investor confidence in the U.S. economy will help stave off the damaging effects of a potential downgrade by credit rating companies.
While a prolonged failure to pay debts would throw the economy into a "deep recession," the U.S. may be able to weather a short default because global investors believe the country will solve the problem, Rivlin said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "In the Loop" with Betty Liu.
"Investors around the world think that we will not default," said Rivlin, a member of President Barack Obama's deficit-reduction commission. "Even if we get a downgrade, they will go on thinking that because we are the strongest economy in the world."
Both Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's have warned the U.S. government risks losing its top credit rating if it fails to increase the debt limit, leading to a default. The Treasury Department has said the U.S. will exhaust measures to avoid breaching its $14.3 trillion debt threshold on Aug. 2.
Rivlin, who served as White House budget director under President Bill Clinton, said a default is unlikely because "cooler heads will prevail in the Congress" and "some sort of compromise will be worked out that will avoid default."
"We all need to solve the problem, and it's going to take some give on both sides," Rivlin said. "Democrats have got to give on entitlement reform, and that means reductions in future benefits, and Republicans have to yield on tax reform, which can give us a better tax system but also more revenue."
Long-Range, Balanced
The plan has to be long-range and balanced, Rivlin said, citing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's proposal as a "reasonable compromise" to get the U.S. past default and allow time for a rational solution. Reid, a Nevada Democrat, has said his plan would extend the debt ceiling through the end of 2012 and would not include tax increases.
"Where we are, there isn't really time to legislate a long-range plan," she said. House Speaker John Boehner's proposal, which calls for a reduction in two stages, would create a debate in 2012 that "can only be worse."
Rivlin, and former Senator Pete Domenici, a New Mexico Republican, are co-leaders of the Washington-based Bipartisan Policy Center's Debt Reduction Task Force, which has been cautioning Republicans about the potential hazards of breaching the U.S. debt ceiling.

About Us
Kenneth J. Pienta, M.D.
We shall not cease from exploration
You Can Go Home Again
Winter weather in Ann Arbor, where Dr. Pienta has been a Professor of Internal Medicine and Urology as well as director of Experimental Therapeutics at the Michigan Center for Translational Pathology in the University of Michigan School of Medicine, is quite cold. Early-morning temperatures are often well below zero. This is all about to change, however, when he returns again to Baltimore and Johns Hopkins. For it's in Charm City where winter's weather is relatively mild and snowfall is infrequent that he'll now be accumulating his daily pre-work mileage.
To the delight of many, Dr. Pienta, internationally recognized as a leader in prostate cancer research and translational science, accepted the position as Director of Research at the Brady Urological Institute in January 2013.
"I am excited to announce that such an accomplished scientist is joining us at the Brady," says Alan W. Partin, Chairman of the Brady Urological Institute. "I am looking forward to working with Ken in the coming months and years."
A graduate of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1986, Dr. Pienta did his medical oncology fellowship at the Brady Urological Institute from 1988 to 1991 and was mentored by Donald S. Coffey, Ph.D., who served as Director of the Research Laboratories in the Department of Urology for thirty years, from 1974 to 2004. His primary work focused on how cell structure and function became altered in cancer cells. Dr. Pienta joined the University of Michigan faculty in 1994 and four years later, he was promoted to full professor. In 2012, he took on additional duties by serving as Associate Vice President for Research, Health Sciences at the University.
"Old friends still remain, and there are plenty of new ones to meet. The number of great investigators and physicians working at the Brady is just unbelievable and it's not matched anywhere in the field of urology. I am looking forward with great enthusiasm to joining that team."
"I have always tried to stay true to Don's philosophy. When we collected prostate tissue through our tissue acquisition program at Michigan, we gave samples freely throughout the world when researchers asked. Over the years, that eventually led to many scientific discoveries."
"In 2013, that has all changed," Dr. Pienta admits, "because so many of the researchers trained at the Brady over the years are now directing or working at top-notch programs at other institutions. This creates strong competition, which is good. No longer number one simply by default, we have to retain the title of being the best by continuing to make new and important discoveries and working even harder."
"What I have discovered is that people love to do things outside of what they normally think about and do," he says. "In my administrative role, it's this sort of thinking and collaboration that I will promote. I am confident that it's what will help take the current Brady group to new levels of discovery and improved patient care."
Dr. Pienta, named Distinguished Mentor of the Year in 2009 by the American Urological Association, views himself as a team player who will offer suggestions and guidance about direction and goals in his new role as Director of Research at the Brady. He believes that effective cancer research comes down to understanding what everyone's interests are and then figuring out who can best help each one achieve them.
Dr. Pienta knows that it will take some time to adjust to his new surroundings, but not that much. "Thanks to the generosity of the many donors who have allowed us to expand, we have a changing culture here and I have to learn the new ecosystem," he says. "Twenty years ago, Brady had a single floor devoted to research. Now we are spread out over several floors of the Marburg, Park, and Cancer Center buildings. This changes the environment of the Brady and how our scientists interact with each other. I have to understand that special ecosystem in order to maximize its potential."
"By trying to best understand this ever-evolving ecosystem and how the various cells compete or cooperate with each other, I want to eventually develop what I call ecotherapies, or novel cancer therapies," says Dr. Pienta. "One of the reasons I am coming to the Brady is because I want to accelerate the pace of my own discoveries and come up with an effective ecological therapy that will modify the environment where the cancer cells are found."
When asked to take out his crystal ball and look into the future as it pertains to promising areas of research that will lead to the creation of new prostate cancer breakthroughs over the next five to ten years, Dr. Pienta is extremely optimistic.
Dr. Pienta also envisions new drugs for cancer that has recurred following definitive therapy with surgery and radiation, as well as effective medications for more advanced hormone-refractory disease. "We went through a tremendous drought of new drugs for prostate cancer from 1996 and 2008, but now we have so many new medications, with plenty more in the pipeline, including novel vaccines.
"We certainly have the potential for incremental progress in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer but also the great potential for an exponential leap if we solve issues of drug combinations and know how to correctly use targeted therapy.
"Overall, there will be many innovative treatments that we'll be able to transition from bench to bedside. And that's certainly a very good thing."

Norwalk man allegedly drove while high
Updated 5:30 pm, Monday, May 8, 2017
NEW CANAAN — Police charged a 22-year-old Norwalk man after he allegedly drove while high on marijuana.
On May 4 at 12:18 a.m., a patrol officer pulled over a car on Park Street for having an expired registration sticker. The officer searched the car and found marijuana. When the officer spoke with the driver, James McQuillan, of Madison Street in Norwalk, there was also a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. The officer determined McQuillan had been smoking before driving and administered a field sobriety test, which he consequently failed, police said.
McQuillan was charged with driving under the influence and driving an unregistered car. He posted a $250 bond and was given a court date of May 15.
McQuillan's passenger at the time of the arrest, John Langley, Jr., of Osborne Avenue, Norwalk, admitted to owning the marijuana and the 26-year-old was issued an infraction for less than a half ounce of marijuana.

text: In your previous mail you wrote: I've just saw that PCB demultiplexing for incoming IP packets is done now using hashing in the first place (e.g. in tcp_input call to in_pcbhashlookup) before the simple linear list traversal (in_pcblookup). The in_pcbhashlookup calls the INPCBHASH macro which looks like this: #define INPCBHASH(table, faddr, fport, laddr, lport) \ &(table)->inpt_hashtbl[(ntohl((faddr)->s_addr) + ntohs((fport)) + ntohs((lport))) & (table->inpt_hash)] What raised my attention are the 'ntoh' calls. These are implemented as function calls (assembler thought) on little-endian machines which are quite expensive on PENTIUMs as far as I know. => it is cleary not very clever to use ntoh* functions because they are not needed. Good point! I'm wondering whether somebody (most likely to person who implemented the hashing) did some testing with real world data on little-endian machines? If so, I would be very interested in the results. Does the hashing really provide a performance improvement? => it is very important if you have many connections and don't forget : - TCP keeps the closed connections for 2 MSL (for late packets) - UDP packets don't build streams then the one slot cache of BSD 4.4 is not efficient. In fact an important part (in time) of UDP input processing is PCB lookup. - worst case with list lookup is failure. If you need a proof you can try on a Web server, usually they have many small connections (HTTP 1.0 opens and closes a TCP connection per documents, it can be solved with HTTP 1.1 or T/TCP).

This section contains the procedure that you need to install Oracle software.
Become superuser on a cluster member.
If you plan to install the Oracle software on a cluster file system, start the Sun Cluster software and become the owner of the device group.
If you plan to install the Oracle software at another location, omit this step.
For more information about installation locations, see Preparing the Nodes and Disks.
Install the Oracle software.
Before you start the Oracle installation, ensure that the system resources required for Oracle have been configured. Log in as oracle to ensure ownership of the entire directory before you perform this step. See the appropriate Oracle installation and configuration guides for instructions about how to install Oracle software.
If you are using the Solaris 9 OS, modify /etc/system file of each node as you would in standard Oracle installation procedures. Reboot each node so that the changes are effective.
If you are using the Solaris 10 OS, you could use Solaris Resource Management (SRM) to ensure that the kernel parameters are set to at least the minimum values that Oracle requires. For more information about setting the Oracle kernel parameters, see How to Set the Oracle Kernel Parameters. After the system resources have been configured for Oracle you can start the installation itself.
(Optional) If you are using Sun Cluster HA for Oracle with Oracle 10g R1, prevent the Oracle cssd daemon from being started. If you are using Sun Cluster HA for Oracle with Oracle 10g R2, omit this step.
Remove the entry for the Oracle cssd daemon from the /etc/inittab file on the node where the Oracle software is installed. To remove this entry, remove the following line from the /etc/inittab file:
h1:23:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 > </dev/null
Sun Cluster HA for Oracle does not require the Oracle cssd daemon. Therefore, removal of this entry does not affect the operation of Oracle 10g R1 with Sun Cluster HA for Oracle. If your Oracle installation changes so that the Oracle cssd daemon is required, restore the entry for this daemon to the /etc/inittab file.
If you are using Oracle 10g R1Real Application Clusters, do not remove the entry for the cssd daemon from the /etc/inittab file.
If you remove the entry for the Oracle cssd daemon from the /etc/inittab file, you prevent unnecessary error messages from being displayed. Otherwise, an attempt by the init(1M) command to start the Oracle cssd daemon might cause such error messages to be displayed. These error messages are displayed if the Oracle binary files are installed on a highly available local file system or on the cluster file system. The messages are displayed repeatedly until the file system where the Oracle binary files are installed is mounted.
These error messages are as follows:
INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Check for possible errors. id: h1 "/etc/init.d/init.cssd run >/dev/null 2>&1 >/dev/null"
Waiting for filesystem containing $CRSCTL.
If you are using Sun Cluster HA for Oracle on the x86 platform, unnecessary error messages about the unavailability of the UNIX Distributed Lock Manager (Oracle UDLM) might also be displayed.
These messages are displayed if the following events occur:
A node is running in noncluster mode. In this situation, file systems that Sun Cluster controls are never mounted.
A node is booting. In this situation, the messages are displayed repeatedly until Sun Cluster mounts the file system where the Oracle binary files are installed.
Oracle is started on or fails over to a node or zone where the Oracle installation was not originally run. In such a configuration, the Oracle binary files are installed on a highly available local file system. In this situation, the messages are displayed on the console of the node or zone where the Oracle installation was run.
The default project is modified to contain the resources required for Oracle as the RGM uses the default project for running the data service. If you want to use a specific SRM project for running Oracle, you must create that project and configure the system resources in that project using the same procedure. Specify the project name instead of default. When you configure the resource group or resource for the Oracle server, specify that project name in the corresponding property of the resource group or resource.
Display the settings for the default project.
phys-X# prctl -i project default
If no kernel parameters are set, or if any kernel parameters are not set to the minimum required value for Oracle as shown in the following table, set the parameter.
phys-X# projmod -s -K "parameter=(priv,value,deny)" default
Oracle Kernel Parameter
Minimum Required Value
See the Oracle10g Installation Guide for more information about these parameters.
Verify the new settings.
phys-X# prctl -i project default

Secure Attributes Exchange is used by three types of users:
As application owners, developers use the Secure Attributes Exchange client APIs to connect to a local OpenSSO Enterprise instance.
Administrators are responsible for configuring Secure Attributes Exchange, setting up and maintaining provision keys, configuring authorization of each application, and so forth.
End users
End users access the deployed applications.
The figures Figure 6–4 and Figure 6–5 illustrate a typical process flow for Secure Attributes Exchange.
The process flow can be described as the sum of four separate uses cases:
It is not absolutely required for service providers to implement the Secure Attributes Exchange functionality. This is certainly a valid business use case as long as the receiving end is a SAMLv2 compliant Service Provider that is capable of using the information originating from the Identity Provider application and sent by the Identity Provider.
When a user is already authenticated in an enterprise, the legacy identity provider application sends a secure HTTP GET/POST message to OpenSSO Enterprise asserting the identity of the user. OpenSSO Enterprise then verifies the authenticity of the message and establishes a session for the authenticated user. Secure Attributes Exchange can be used to transfer the user's authentication information to the local instance of OpenSSO Enterprise in order to create a new session.
When a user is already authenticated by, and attempts access to, a legacy identity provider application, the legacy application sends a secure HTTP POST message to the local instance ofOpenSSO Enterprise. The HTTP POST message asserts the user's identity and contains a set of attribute-value pairs related to the user. For example, the attribute-value pairs may contain data from the persistent store, and the data may represent certain transactional states in the application. OpenSSO Enterprise verifies the authenticity of the message, establishes a session for the authenticated user, and then populates the session with the user attributes.
When a user is already authenticated by the instance of OpenSSO Enterprise at the Identity Provider, and OpenSSO Enterprise invokes an Identity Provider application that calls for redirection to a Service Provider, the Identity Provider invokes secure attribute exchange at either the Service Provider or Identity Provider as described above. OpenSSO Enterprise encodes a SAMLv2 single sign-on URL as a part of the request. The Identity Provider instance of OpenSSO Enterprise then initiates SAMLv2 single sign-on with the instance of OpenSSO Enterprise at the Service Provider. The Service Provider instance of OpenSSO Enterprise then verifies the SAMLv2 assertion and the included attributes, and redirects to the Service Provider application. The user attributes are securely transferred using a secure HTTP POST message. The Service Provider application consumes the attributes, establishes a session, and then offers the service to the user.
Global single logout can be implemented in various ways. In this example, a user is already authenticated and has established single sign-on with the Service Provider instance of OpenSSO Enterprise. The user clicks on a Global Logout link. The Identity Provider will then invalidate its local session, if it's already created, and trigger SAMLv2 single logout by invoking a provided OpenSSO Enterprise URL. The OpenSSO Enterprise Identity Provider executes the SAMLv2 single logout, terminating the session on both Identity Provider and Service Provider instances of OpenSSO Enterprise.

The ENIAC should be made whole; re-united and reconstructed
The ENIAC should be a premier tourist spot in Philadelphia
The ENIAC is the most important invention/artifact of the 20th century.
Where is it now?
After ten years of service as the fastest machine in the world, the ENIAC was retired and cut into pieces. Some went to the Smithsonian, some remained with the Army in Aberdeen, and some went back to the University of Pennsylvania, where it was originally built. Some were junked.
An Opportunity
Like the Liberty Bell, the ENIAC is the icon of a revolution. The original "Giant Electronic Brain" is a sight to behold – and yet you can not. Elsewhere, many lesser computers are in museum; but only a small piece of the ENIAC is on display - in a gun museum in Maryland. The original pieces of the ENIAC must be reclaimed, borrowed, or reconstructed, to make it whole again, for the first time in 50 years. When visiting Philadelphia, people will say "Let's go see the ENIAC."
It's Got it All
What would it take?
An institution to give it a home. Franklin Institute? Convention Center?
Some sponsorship. (Presumably from the trillion dollar computer industry)
Cooperation of Smithsonian, Penn, and Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Feedback? contact Bill Mauchly email@example.com

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jason Peters was reportedly arrested early Wednesday morning after drag racing and resisting an officer by flight.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Monroe News-Star, Peters' white Camaro was seen at a red light next to a blue sedan. When the light turned green, the two cars accelerated and appeared to be racing.
The arresting officer then activated his emergency lights and attempted to pull over the two vehicles. The blue sedan stopped immediately, but Peters sped off and exceeded speeds of 100 miles per hour with the officer in pursuit.
Peters eventually came to a stop and was handcuffed, arrested and transported to Ouachita Correctional Center, where he was booked on charges of drag racing and resisting by flight.
Peters was also arrested in March of 2011 in Louisiana for disturbing the peace.
The Eagles released the following statement: "We are aware of the reports that Jason Peters was arrested this morning in Louisiana. We have been in contact with Jason and due to the legal nature of this matter, we will not have any further comment at this point."
Peters, a five-time Pro Bowler, missed all of last season recovering from two tears in the same Achilles tendon.

Larry Valiska likes fingerprints because they form before you are born and remain the same for the rest of your life. After three and a half decades with the Alameda Police Department he's become an expert at finding and capturing them at crime scenes, and he can pinpoint more than a dozen identifying characteristics in one in a matter of seconds.
Valiska comprises one-third of the department's civilian crime scene investigation unit, whose duties include crime scene photography, videography and evidence collection. All three – Valiska, Joe Castañeda and Karen Watson – are fingerprint experts, a distinction that only five other people working in Alameda County law enforcement share.
It's a career in which Valiska and his colleagues have done everything from dusting for prints at burgled homes in Alameda to conducting thousands of fingerprint identifications for Venezuela's national elections.

SANTOS, Ricardo Bruno Nascimento dos. Technical efficiency in brazilian forest industry base via milestones. Rev. Árvore [online]. 2011, vol.35, n.6, pp.1319-1326. ISSN 1806-9088. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-67622011000700018.
This work aimed to search for targets in stages with intermediate targets in the isoefficiency layers so that the Manufacturing Sector of Forest-Based Products (MSFBP) of each state gradually reached a higher technical level of efficiency. Data from Pesquisa Industrial Anual (PIA) (the Annual Industrial Survey) 2007 from Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) were used. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was applied geared towards inputs. Net revenue in the sector as a product and inputs was the total industrial operations cost (IOC) and wages in the sector (WS). Among fourteen analyzed states, Espírito Santo State is the most efficient and Rio de Janeiro the most inefficient. Another twelve states are technically inefficient, so that three states shall, in the short term, seek the layer 1, three for the layer 2, two for the layer 3, and three for the layer 4. It was found that in Brazil the IOC is the main cause of technical inefficiency.

Experts view on Britney Spears problemsJanuary 10th, 2008 - 4:44 pm ICT by admin
Washington , Jan 10 (ANI): Troubled star Britney Spears, after so many horrendous episodes, such as holding her kids hostage and shaving her head, is surely suffering from a possible mental disorder, say psychologists.
Many experts have given their diagnoses of the 26-year-old stars problem, based on the recent developments in her life.
According to psychiatrist Pauline Wallin, the Toxic star might be suffering from a bipolar disorder which is evident from her experiencing extreme highs (known as manic episodes), like when she shaved her head, followed by intense lows. Her frequent partying is also a sign of the same.
You can go all night without sleeping. Her pattern of self behavior indicates that she doesnt have a lot of self-control when she gets upset. Getting so upset that she has to be strapped to a gurney obviously isshes not working in her kids best interests, Us Weekly quoted Wallin, as saying.
Psychiatrist Carole Lieberman added that such manic episodes could also include losing touch with reality.
I think she fits more into agitated depression, where she goes all over town trying to find something that will cheer her up some kind of temporary Band-Aid, like that paparazzi boyfriend. Shes just reaching out to fill an emptiness, she said.
She also said that Spears problem may also be genetic as her grandmother went on to commit suicide under depression.
Spears' grandmother, who committed suicide, shows a genetic predisposition to a form of depression, added Lieberman.
Certainly she did have a traumatic childhood between her parents dysfunctional relationship and divorce, and her mother pushing her to be a star, she said.
However, Dr. Drew Pinsky said that her instability and rotating friend groups indicate her to be a case of borderline personality disorder.
According to Pal Sam Lutfi, she might be suffering from unexpected episodes of intense fear indicating that she missed a December deposition because of a panic episode.
Lieberman also ruled out the possibility of an anxiety disorder.
I dont believe thats her main problem. Her grandmother didnt die of anxiety disorder, her father didnt become an addict because of that. She has a more severe kind of problem than [anxiety], said Lieberman. (ANI)

Hi Guys,
I posted a couple of weeks ago.
I Finally got the machine home. It hasn't ran in a few years it was to hard for
the old fella to climb on and off.
I cleaned out the tank and flushed the
fuel lines. New battery. The oil looked clean but I will run it a little and change it.
Turned the key, Hit the start button and came immediately to life!!
That 10 Horse Briggs was started before it even made a full revolution and ran like a kitten.
The deck is the quietest one I have,
The only thing I still need to look into is the noise it makes when you let the clutch out. Hind of a grind / rattle
Here's a couple of pick's!!
I had to start a new thread because I couldn't figure out how to post pics to an old thread.

Chris and Melanie Perez (via WEWS) Criminal complaints will be filed against Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez and his wife Melanie, per Scott Taylor of 19 Action News in Cleveland. Taylor reports, via his twitter account, that police have told him that the charges are going to be for "misdemeanor Possession of Controlled Substance." Despite rumors around Twitter all this week regarding a pound of the marijuana, police say that the amount was 163.9 grams, which equates to over a third of a pound (0.36 lbs.) While this doesn't convict Perez, it is not good news. The best hopes for Perez and the Indians had to be that there would be enough doubt that complaints wouldn't be filed. Many Indians fans and commentators seemed to be putting hopes for Perez to avoid trouble on some reportedly shady history of the home that Perez and his wife rent in Rocky River. As of right now, it doesn't appear that Perez will avoid charges. According the NORML, who tracks these sorts of things, the charges for possession and cultivation for between 100 and 200 grams in the state of Ohio is a 4th degree misdemeanor. The penalties are listed as incarceration of "not more than thirty days and/or fine" and the fine amount listed is $250. What remains to be seen is if there are any other charges relating to the fact that the substances in question allegedly came in the mail.

Biological Valves in Younger Patients Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement
A Word of Caution

Aortic stenosis is becoming more prevalent as populations age, and surgically implanting a replacement valve can restore a patient's expected life span. There is much discussion about the relative merits of a mechanical or biological valve design. A mechanical valve is expected to outlast the patient but requires anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist, whereas a biological valve does not require anticoagulation but is subject to structural valve degeneration after 10 years. After taking patient preferences into consideration, the 2014 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines1 recommend that a mechanical valve should be implanted in patients <60 years of age and a biological one in those >65 years of age. However, biological valves are increasingly being used in patients <60 years of age in both the United States and Europe. In the United Kingdom, successive registry returns from cardiac surgical centers show that the percentage of biological valves implanted in patients <60 years of age is increasing rapidly. Drivers of this trend include the perceived longer durability of newer biological valves, the ability to intervene for structural valve degeneration with a valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and …

Employment Law
Employment Lawyers Can Answer Your Employment Law Questions
hi, just had my appeal dismissed last week
hi, do you know the situation?
do you think i have a case, if so what grounds?
ok, first of all, at the appeal, i had a hour with the union rep, he only looked at my paperwork for 5 minutes, he was on the phone with his friends throughout the time and the signs were to he was not interested. Anyway, i asked him for help fact that my job is precious to me. He said to me i want you to tell the manager that when the couple came on my bus, soon as you realised the tickets never came out the machine, you opened the lid of the ticket machine to inspect the paper feed, and closed the lid. The thing is I did not do this at all. I questioned the union rep as to how can I say this if I have not written it on my occurence report, or the discplinary hearing when i was dismissed? He said to me not to worry about it and what counts is now. He shouted at me and said this is what you are going to say. I felt very uncomfortable and did no what to do. Once again he said this is what you will say as if I had no choice. At the meeting I told the manager what union rep told me, and the manager told me straight away that if you open the lid of the ticket machine, the machine will have diagnostic code, each diagnostic codes relate to different things, like example number 32 would relate to ticket machine being opened. Manager said you had no diagnostic codes which tell me that you did not open the lid of the ticket machine.
I was in despair, and even more stressed, I looked at the union rep and he was just looking down.
At the end of meeting, the manager said she will make her decision after investigating two things. 1. I had a few disputes of revenue inspector report such as he only made me sign for the allegation of youth and not the couple etc. 2. she said I told her in my original report that revenue boarded my bus regular in the last 3 months which is correct, she said your report sounds like you are saying revenue come everyday? I replied not everyday but more regular than before. She said how regular? I said i do not know. She said i need a number? once everyday, once every two days? I said I am not sure may be once 3 days. She said ok i will check your module to see if this is correct.
When my appeal was dismissed, she said in her report that she had checked my module for the last two weeks before the incident and found that revenue have only boarded your bus twice and thirdly prior to incident, she said this brings your honest into question. The problem I have is she did not tell me she will be checking the last two weeks, if she did I would of given her more accurate answer, I thought she will be checking the last 3 months whay I wrote in my original report. Also she said she spoke to the revenue in question, he said everything is correct in his report. She said I asked you if the youth spoke to you about the problem when revenue boarded, on the letter it said i replied no, the thing is she did not even ask me this question, to back it up she said cctv shows youth with inspector trying to have conversation with you, also this brings honesty into question. She wrote about the ticket machine lid which brings my honesty into question. At the meeting she said in your original report you wrote that the youth had given you 1.60, i kept the 1 pound, and the youth took 60p back, at the dismissal and now you are saying you had 60p and youth took the 1 pound? she said she is confused and which document is correct? I replied i had the 60p and youth took the pound, i apologised i basically got it the way round, the reason why i must of wrote in wrong in my occurrence report was more likely to do with fact that i was extremely stressed.
These are the grounds why my appeal was dismissed.
i have spoken to my union solicitors and told me i have no case and they are not willing to help me
yes, i spoke to a solictor and said it would cost me about 8k, what do you think i should do? how do i do it myself?
you say if i deal myself i have to get paperwork right? what do you mean by this?
how would i show you the draft of form on this website? or can you give me email address?

Blue Jays head to Winter Meetings seeking pitching
With need at catcher filled, Toronto to turn attention to addressing rotation spots
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays addressed their issues behind the plate on Monday, signing veteran catcher Dioner Navarro to a two-year contract worth $8 million, and now the focus will turn to what can be done on the mound as the start of the Winter Meetings inches closer and closer.
General managers from across Major League Baseball will converge Monday morning at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. It will be the site for secretive meetings and endless speculation, and Alex Anthopoulos is expected to be very busy.
Toronto also could look to address a need at second base, but it's clear the top priority is starting pitching. Plenty of potential targets have already surfaced, but finding a solution will prove challenging with so many other teams also in the market for additional arms.
Anthopoulos often prefers to do most of his work through trades, but free agents haven't been ruled out. Toronto's payroll for the 2014 is still somewhat of a mystery, but various reports have suggested the club will hover around the $150-million mark.
The Blue Jays currently have 16 players under guaranteed deals, with an additional four that are still eligible for arbitration. The current projected salaries amount to approximately $135 million, but additional funds could be made available if the club decides to trade veteran J.A. Happ and the $5.2 million he's owed in 2014.
The free-agent market is still rather plentiful, with the only significant signings so far having been Ricky Nolasco, Tim Hudson, Jason Vargas, Phil Hughes and Scott Kazmir. The likes of Ubaldo Jimenez, Matt Garza, Ervin Santana, Hiroki Kuroda and Bartolo Colon are still available, while a second tier also remains unsigned, including Bronson Arroyo, A.J. Burnett and Gavin Floyd.
Based on history, though, Anthopoulos likely will exhaust all trade scenarios before potentially overpaying for a free agent. The club has been linked to Cubs right-hander Jeff Samardzija this offseason, and the rumours likely will only increase as the Winter Meetings draw closer.
The difficult part of any trade will be deciding which prospects can be let go in return for more of an immediate impact. Right-handers Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez are the most sought-after players through trade, but they also represent a pair of arms that could be crucial to the organization's success in future years.
Toronto possesses a lot of depth in the lower levels of the Minor League system, but that doesn't usually transition well to the trade market. The only other prospect who appears ready for the next step is outfielder Anthony Gose, and most teams usually put an emphasis on acquiring young pitching in return for an impact arm.
The Blue Jays do have some bullpen depth that could be easily spared in any deal. Toronto has an abundance of power arms, only so many spots on the roster and a series of pitchers who are out of options on their contracts. Closer Casey Janssen could prove to have a lot of value, while there's no shortage of middle-relief solutions in the likes of Sergio Santos, Steve Delabar, Brett Cecil, Dustin McGowan, Neil Wagner, Jeremy Jeffress, Brad Lincoln, Aaron Loup and Juan Perez.
Relief pitching also seems to be coming at a premium this offseason, and Anthopoulos could use that to his advantage. A reliever could be either used as a complementary piece in a bigger trade or instead moved for prospects that could be flipped into another deal for a starter. The possibilities are endless, but whatever happens, Anthopoulos has no other option but to find an upgrade.
The three starters with guaranteed jobs are R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Brandon Morrow. After that, it's a lot of uncertainty, with Happ and right-hander Drew Hutchison the favorites for the two spots. The other candidates include Esmil Rogers, Kyle Drabek, Todd Redmond and Stroman. Depth isn't the issue, but the overall quality and previous track record certainly is.
Second base would currently see rookie Ryan Goins and veteran Maicer Izturis in some sort of platoon. Goins provides well-above-average defense but is a question mark with the bat, while Izturis is coming off a forgettable first year in Toronto. Ideally, an upgrade would present itself here, but the priority almost undoubtedly goes to the starting rotation.
At this time last year, Anthopoulos already had pulled the trigger on the blockbuster trade with Miami. But it was at the Winter Meetings where the groundwork was laid for a deal that would bring Dickey to the Blue Jays. More groundwork will be put in place this time around as well, but Anthopoulos likely hopes at least a move or two immediately comes with it.

Précis of HTM 04 - Legionella Control for Healthcare Environments
HTM 04 or to give it its full title "Health Technical Memorandum 04-01: The control of Legionella, hygiene, "safe" hot water, cold water and drinking water systems" was first published by the Department of Health in 2006 replacing HTM 2027 and HTM2040.
HTM 04 builds on the Health & Safety Executive's primary legionella control Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) document "L8" but provides additional guidance to those involved with the control of legionella in hospital and healthcare environments.
Brief extracts from our précis are included below.
"Our precis of the Department of Health's HTM 04 provides a useful tool for anyone with responsibility for the control of legionella in a healthcare environment ..."
To coincide with the release of our new healthcare focused training courses Legionella Control International have recently published a précis of the Department of Health's HTM 04.
The précis offers an excellent summary of HTM 04 and forms a useful tool for anyone with responsibility for the control of legionella in a healthcare environment, including senior executives, health professionals, estates and facilities managers; and contractors.
In the UK Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 is the commonest cause of Legionnaires' disease and is also the cause of Pontiac fever.
To date over 45 species of legionella have been identified.
The risk of healthcare associated Legionellosis depends on a number of factors including:
- The presence of legionella bacteria in sufficient numbers.
- Conditions for suitable multiplication including temperatures between 20°C and 45°C.
- A source of nutrients.
- A means of creating and disseminating respirable droplets.
- The presence of vulnerable persons exposed to an infected aerosol.
Many if not all of these conditions are to be expected in healthcare premises.
Susceptibility of Individuals
Previously healthy individuals may develop Legionnaires' disease but the following factors can increase susceptibility:
- Increasing age, especially in those above 50 years, children are rarely infected.
- Men are three times more likely to be infected.
- Those with existing respiratory ailments are more at risk.
- Illnesses that weaken the bodies natural defences such as diabetes, cancer, kidney disease and alcoholism.
- Immunosuppressant drugs, these inhibit the body's natural defences.
Systems at Risk
Building services and other systems that pose a Legionella risk include any equipment containing water likely to exceed 20°C and which release an aerosol or spray, hot and cold water systems, laundry systems, sterile services departments, hydrotherapy pools, spa pools and birthing pools.
Management Responsibilities
An organisations management team has overall responsibility to ensure the implementation of safe operational procedures.
A written scheme must be in place in respect of the control of legionella in water systems as defined in the HSE's Approved Code of Practice, L8.
The statutory duty holder must appreciate the requirements and delegate to suitable persons to ensure compliance with this guidance.
A risk assessment of the water services will be necessary.
Risk assessments should be carried out by competent persons, if sub-contracted it is recommended that such contractors should be a member of the Legionella Control Association or able to... more
