Watchdog will ensure high standards
2:20pm Tuesday 2nd October 2012 in News By James Wilson
A NEW council watchdog has been appointed to ensure that all Cheshire East councillors uphold the highest ethical standards.
Cheshire East Council has recruited four borough residents – Peter Bryant, Robert Fousert, Sheila Roberts and Roger Pomlett – as 'independent persons' to work with the authority's new ad-hoc standards committee.
This body is a sub-committee of the council's Audit and Governance Committee and will meet only as required.
The Localism Act 2011 places a duty on councils to promote and maintain high standards of conduct for elected and co-opted members.
This includes the requirement to adopt a new code of conduct for members – which came into effect on July 19.
The act requires the council to adopt arrangements for dealing with complaints of breaches of the code of conduct by councillors or co-opted members of Cheshire East Council and the town and parish councils in its area.
This has to include provision for the appointment of at least one 'independent person' who would be consulted on complaints.
To ensure independence, there were restrictions as to who can apply for these posts – for example applicants must not be politically active or have any relationship with councillors, the council or any of its employees. Clr Les Gilbert, cabinet member in charge of corporate policy, said: "The way our members conduct themselves is critically important and of interest to many people in Cheshire East.
"That is why we need the process of upholding and enforcing the highest standards to be transparent, robust and involve local people who are independent of the council.
"The work of this sub-committee is very important – and I look forward to working with its members to ensure we continue to uphold the high standards of our elected representatives across Cheshire East.
"This issue is a negligible problem within Cheshire East. From April 2011 to March 2012 only two complaints were received against our members, and neither resulted in any action being taken. In the same period, eight complaints were received against town and parish council members, of which five were dismissed and three are ongoing."
Independent persons on the ad-hoc standards committee will serve for four years.

By Plane
The EuroAirport connects Basel to numerous important international destinations on a daily basis and is reachable in just 15 minutes from the Basel city center by car. Basel's proximity to the airport in Zurich-Kloten, just an hour by car or 75 minutes by train, also ensures easy availability of long-distance flights. For detailed information of flights download the document for your airport of choice:
Basel flights / Zurich flights
By Train
The dense and extensive rail network ensures that other Swiss cities such as Berne, Lucerne and Zurich can be reached within an hour. Similarly, destinations just over the border can also be easily reached using public transportation. For examples, trains leave for Freiburg im Br. (Germany) and Strasbourg (France) every half hour. The region is served by one of the best developed rail networks within Switzerland and Basel is the meeting point of the SNCF, DB and SBB. In addition, the largest goods station in Switzerland is to be found in Muttenz in Basel Land.
By Car
As an important junction of the Swiss, German and French expressway network, Basel can easily be reached by road. Thanks to its central location and its long tradition as the gateway to Switzerland, today Basel is known as the Swiss center for the transport and logistics industry and is also a pivotal point of the North-South European axis.
By Ship
The Rhine represents yet another important transport artery for the Basel region. The river serves primarily as the channel for the transport of cargo. Its direct access by water means that Basel can be viewed as the southernmost North Sea port.

These curtains worked out for us in a great and unexpected way! The description says white LED lights. They are actually blue (at least what we received) in white sheer curtains. Which is actually perfect for us since our school colors are Blue and White. The curtains pinned inside the Luminescent Tunnel are a fantastic effect.

Eye-Catching Piece!

Comments about BERNHARDT FURNITURE Maxwell Street 4-pc. Wall Unit w/ 60" TV Console and Lighting:
We just completed a room makeover in our living room. New floors, new paint, and of course new furniture. We fell in love with this piece when we saw it! And we were right! It makes the room! It is the piece that all of my guests first notice when they walk in. The light up curio cabinets on the side look beautiful when lit and bring even more attention to the piece. It holds up to a 60' tv, ours is a 52". We have room leftover on the sides but not top to bottom so my only suggestion is to measure your t.v. from top of the piece to botton because of the trim around the screen.
Service and delivery comments:
Product was delivered right on time. All of the furniture I ordered was wrapped in plastic and blankets to protect it. I was very impressed by that. The delivery men set everything up and moved the furniture where I wanted it. Excellent service!

A boundless selection of artifacts for the pop-culture anthropologist.. In ShortVirgin's selection of pop CDs is comprehensive--and the store's reputation as a haven for imports is well deserved. The electronic music section is extensive, littered with hard-to-find titles from smaller West Coast and international labels. Pop culture definitely rules the book selection; and the DVD and multimedia sections are strong as well. The chain' biggest selling point may be the multitude of listening stations that allow shoppers to check out loads of new CDs before purchasing.

The man who invented the shark cage did so after being mauled by a great white shark!
In December 1963 (oh, what a BITE!), Australian scuba diver Rodney Fox was competing in a spear-fishing competition. The dead fish he was carrying attracted a shark that attacked Fox to within an inch of his life! The attack broke all the ribs on Rodney's left side, his upper stomach was fully exposed, lung ripped open, and he was minutes away from bleeding out entirely! Keeping his wetsuit on was likely the reason all his internal organs stayed together, and miraculously the main artery leading from his heart to his stomach was exposed but unharmed! A total of 462 stitches were required to patch Fox up, and he still has a shark tooth lodged in his wrist to remind him of that fateful day.
Given the fact that Rodney somehow managed to survive one of history's worst non-fatal shark attacks, you would think he would avoid sharks or deep water altogether for the rest of his life. However, this is not the case at all. He went on to design the world's first underwater observation cage and has continued to film and study his lethal foe for over 40 years! Over that span, Rodney has been involved in the production of nearly every shark feature and documentary film, including Jaws.

Do you have a sweater that you don't wear any more? Are you currently living through the coldest winter in recorded history? Well, I have a project for you!
You can use that old sweater to make your own hat and mittens! I found the idea here and it is a really simple sewing project suitable for beginners.
You can make a template by tracing a hat you already own on some copy paper. Lay your sweater flat on your work surface and pin the template so the bottom is along the ribbing. Cut out. You should now have two pieces. Pin right sides together and sew all around, leaving the ribbing part open. Because the sweater material frayed quite a bit, I used a zig-zag stitch along the raw edges. You could also just use a serger if you have one.
Follow the same procedure for the mittens. Make a template using some mittens (or trace your hands) and pin to the sleeve of your sweater, placing the bottom of the template on the ribbing. Cut out, place right sides together, and sew all around leaving the ribbing open. Once again, I used a zig-zag stitch on the raw edges to stop the fraying.
I am so sick of winter but at least I have some original winter gear to help me look stylish while shoveling the snow! Give it a try!
Note: We are currently having a bit of a respite from the snow but more is expected. Ugh!

breaking news
Trent Edwards threw for 234 yards and a touchdown on 22-of-28 completions in his first career start as Buffalo hung on to top the New York Jets, 17-14, in an AFC East matchup at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Marshawn Lynch added 79 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries for the Bills (1-3), who won their first regular-season game since a 21-0 win over Miami last December 17. Lee Evans caught six balls for 72 yards to lead the Buffalo receiving corps and Michael Gaines added a TD catch.
Chad Pennington completed 32-of-39 passes for 290 yards, a score and a pair of picks for the Jets (1-3). Jerricho Cotchery had eight receptions for 106 yards, and Laveranues Coles posted a touchdown among his eight catches. Thomas Jones was held to 35 yards on 12 carries and Leon Washington rushed for a touchdown in the loss.
After Washingtons score late in the fourth which brought the visitors within three points, the Jets defense held Buffalo to a three-and-out on its following possession.
Pennington went to work with 1:43 to play, hitting his first five pass attempts including one to Chris Baker on a key 4th-and-3 at their own 44 for a first down. He then hit Cotchery for another first down with 17 seconds to go. However, Terrence McGee picked off Penningtons next pass to the right sideline intended for Justin McCareins and the Bills ran out the clock for their first win of the season.
A scoreless opening quarter gave way to a defensive struggle in the second, and neither team was able to crack the scoreboard. Buffalo had a late drive stifled just after the two-minute warning when Edwards was picked off by Andre Dyson in the end zone.
The Jets turned around and quickly went 61 yards in nine plays, but Mike Nugents 37-yard try as time expired in the half hit the right upright and bounced out.
The Bills finally broke through on their first possession of the second half, taking a 7-0 lead when Lynch carried three defenders into the end zone on a 10-yard TD run. The drive chewed up 56 yards in 10 plays and lasted nearly 6 1/2 minutes.
New York responded to tie the game on Coles leaping five-yard reception. Pennington was strong on the drive, connecting twice with Cotchery for 56 yards.
Buffalo went ahead on their next series which spanned the third and fourth quarters, as Rian Lindell hit a 46-yard field-goal.
Pennington was picked off by Jabari Greer two plays later and the Bills were set up on the Jets 25-yard-line. Edwards capped the drive by rolling right and hitting Gaines for a one-yard score on fourth-and-goal for a 17-7 lead with under seven minutes to play.
However, Washington rumbled up the middle for an eight-yard TD run on the next series and the Jets were within 17-14 with 3:02 remaining.
Game Notes
Buffalo leads the all-time series 51-42...The Jets have won eight of 15 meetings since 2000, but the Bills have won four of the last five in Buffalo...Bills cornerback Ashton Youboty hurt his ankle in the first quarter after taking a block from New Yorks DBrickashaw Ferguson. Although he left the field under his own power, Greer replaced him as he went to the locker room for x-rays. Backup linebacker Kevin Harrison was lost for the game after hurting his knee on the opening kickoff...The Bills produced 19 first-downs, the most in one game this season...Buffalo faces Dallas on October 8, while the Jets square off against the Giants next Sunday.

Rodney King
Died June 17, 2012. Born April 2, 1965.
King was the victim in a police brutality case involving the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on March 3, 1991. A bystander, George Holliday, videotaped much of the incident from a distance.
The footage showed seven officers surrounding the solitary King, with several LAPD officers repeatedly striking a helpless King with their batons while the other officers stood by watching, without taking any action to stop the beating. A portion of this footage was aired by news agencies around the world, causing public outrage that increased tension between the local black community and the LAPD and increased anger over police brutality, racism and social inequalities in Los Angeles.
Four LAPD officers were later tried in a state court for the beating; three were acquitted and the jury failed to reach a verdict for the fourth. The announcement of the acquittals sparked the 1992 Los Angeles riots. A later federal trial for civil rights violations ended with two of the officers found guilty and sent to prison and the other two officers acquitted.
On June 17, 2012, King's fiancée found him dead in his swimming pool. Police in Rialto, California, received a 911 call from King's fiancee, Cynthia Kelly, about 5:25 a.m. PST. Responding officers found King at the bottom of the pool, removed him, and attempted to revive him. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

giorgiastar01 8/31/2009 6:36:00 PM
i didnt really like this product it had the right thickness to it but hated the yellowness of it, even though it is the point of the product. it is supposed to take away redness, but it only did this by covering it in yellow. you could do that with any other colour, its a bit stupid. also, it tends to show my pores through it which looks really bad and gross. and when i put my liquid foundation ontop, it speads around and its really gross it feels a bit sticky as well haha its too expensive for what it is, and you dont get alot, so i wont buy it again

i really like this product! my favourite blush! it was super cheap from t j hughes, so i thought i would try it i liked it at first because it doesnt have any glitter/shimmer in it, which i hate, and it is easy to take anywhere because it has its own brush and mirror. although the brush isnt great because of its awkward shape and it sheds easily. i bought it in 'rose' shade because its quite pale so it isnt really crazy noticeable and red. i think it is the best shade for my pale/redish skin tone.

this product is really good for your hair the day after washing. it absorbs all the oil, so that you dont have to wash your hair, but it feels like your hair is dirty, but feeling dirty hair is better than visibly greasy hair. its a bit hard to rub in, and sometimes can be a bit visible, even in my blone hair, so i wouldn't recomend it to someone with quite dark hair. i wouldnt use it every day, because it would probably build up as dandruff, and obviously you need to wash your hair:) also, it was really cheap at less than £2! i would buy this agagin, untill i find a better alternative

Fujitsu phones to guide the blind through homes
Golden receivers
Fujitsu has helped develop an indoor support system that utilises impulse radio ultrawideband (UWB) tech to guide blind and partially sighted people around their homes.
The system - co-created with Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology - gives audio instructions on distances and directions to a destination. It does this with pulses sent out in the 7.25-10.25GHz band to determine the user's distance from base-stations positioned throughout the room.
A host computer calculates the person's position from the distance supplied by each base-stations. That information is relayed by Bluetooth to the user's mobile device, handed over to a mapping application developed for Android that guides the holder to their destination with spoken instructions.
With a margin of error of less than 0.3m, UWB tech is said to be far more accurate than GPS systems - and can work in a room into which satellite signals can't penetrate.
The system is in its early days, working only to guide the user around a large open space. But NICT and Fujitsu plan to push the technology further with sensors that can detect obstacles in the user's path.
The current implementation also requires users select their destination by tapping the handset's screen - clearly, not an ideal approach for the truly visually impaired.
In addition to helping blind folk get about, NICT and Fujitsu also reckon there's a role for the technology in guiding sighted people to the nearest exit in case of emergency.
In the meantime, the firms will be demonstrating the tech at the Wireless Technology Park 2012 in Pacifico Yokohama, Japan, from 6-7 July. ®
Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery
Can this tech be applied to anonymous El Reg commenters too?
"You are veering madly off topic. It is in the direction of six o'clock, three miles away"
iOS devices are used by many blind people
Thanks to VoiceOver, the screen reader that comes included for free with iOS.
Android also has some screen reader solutions, but not all are free and none are as good as VoiceOver.
So no, tapping the destination on a touchscreen isn't a problem.
This could be very useful in train stations, airports, shopping malls, etc.
PS: I'm blind and use an iPhone and an iPad every day.
Re: I doubt it's for home use...
Thats what I thought, be much more useful in unfamiliar surroundings.
Great idea though.

Obama super PAC uses Olympics to attack Romney
Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting President Obama, is out with a new ad using the Olympics to attack his presumptive Republican rival Mitt Romney.
The ad will run in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia as part of a $20 million buy.
Romney is headed to London for the Olympics this week; Democrats hope to use the event to remind voters of the candidate's wealth and career rather than his success in running the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games.
Over video of the Republican candidate walking into the 2002 opening ceremony, "Romney's Gold" ties him to outsourcing in China, India and Burma, and financial shenanigans in Switzerland, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands.
"Ya gotta say this about Mitt Romney," the narrator concludes. "He sure knows how to go for the gold ... for himself."
The new attack ad stems from a recent Huffington Post story that the 2002 Winter Olympics supervised by the former Massachusetts governor outsourced purchase of uniforms to Burma. The outsourcing itself isn't that controversial — the U.S. opening ceremony uniforms for this year's London Olympics were made in China. But human rights activists were outraged that the United States would contract work to Burma's brutal military dictatorship. The military rulers of Burma have since carried out several political reforms, leading Washington to relax some trade restrictions against the Southeast Asian country.
The other accusations have appeared in other ads. Companies invested in by Bain Capital, the private venture firm Romney founded, outsourced to China and India. Much of the outsourcing occurred after Romney left Bain (to run the Olympics), but critics argue that Romney still had a role in the firm.
Romney does own an offshore company in Bermuda that was not listed on his financial reports, has owned a Swiss bank account and holds investments in the Cayman Islands. All of that goes toward the picture Obama and his allies hope to paint of Romney as exotic — an image bolstered by his appearance at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Enough with the minimum wage. Hunger is the world's best motivator.
For sure a true tragedy. they have traded one form of slavery for another. This one perhaps even more cruel. For it raises their hopes then dashes them on a shore of indifference and condescension. Driven there by their fellow minorities.
I hate underachievers lol
That is called a Federal government job.
Their dollar is not equal to our dollar. their unemployment is that low because people have left the country. Of course they measure it by people ACTIVELY looking for a job. How does one determine a living wage? What factors go into it? If this was the purpose of the minimum wage in the first place why does it need to be increased? Why did prices go up from its inception to now? It wasn't because of the increase in profits. The "Living Wage" has not worked yet. Wealth does not simply accumulate at the top. Its not like there is a tower of gold at the HQ of every major corporation. This money is re invested. Usually wisely. Or the company expands. That is why there is a Starbucks on every other corner. They provide jobs not the government.
Go back and let State Legislatures select the Senators. By directly voting for Senators we have created six year Representatives like the House. They can't be touched for six years, then their party throws them a bone to help them get re-elected. this is where it became more about party politics than government of the people and by the people. No one is there representing their state in the Senate. they represent their party. there are no recall measures in most cases. Term limits are not necessary. In fact they can be detrimental. Just don't vote for them.
Sure but let's look at all the failed industries since then. Pretty much all manufacturing ha left the country. We are down to three auto manufacturers. Appliances for the most part gone.
The efficiency of the fast food industry is due to on time delivery and mass purchasing power. Prices have also risen along with wages. We love our fast foods so the demand works to the favor of business but the expected bounce during this recession as historically expected has not occurred. Next prices will bounce again.
That was the purpose for the minimum wage in the first place. It used to be that young people would apprentice themselves for free to skilled craftsmen that taught them their trade. That was before welfare though. Know they all know how to get an EBT card and where the nearest free clinic is. they sure as hell know how to get a tax return of two or three times their net tax liability. they manage to get free cable and cell phones to sit back and watch Real Housewives of... Its disgusting.
There is even the farce that you must have a college degree to make a good living. Skilled labor is getting harder to find. Schools get kickbacks from universities for sending kids there. Even if they drop out, the initial enrollment is all they care about.
There are tons of jobs in the trades. Of course unions are part of the reason people do not want to be in the trades.
The only living wage that is necessary is the wage an individual sets for him or her self. His or her success is predicated on how well they were educated and applied that knowledge to the work environment.
Wages indeed have caused prices to go up. It is no where more apparent than in the fast food industry. A Big Mac meal used to cost less than 3 dollars. Fries were 29 cents. As wages increased so did the prices. Despite operating at maximum efficiency prices still rise.
Used to be able to buy 4 cans of green beans for a dollar. Now they are 75 cents each. Even though big box stores have produced their own branded canned goods. So business looked overseas for cheaper sources of supplies. Hence American suppliers suffer.
This is also true of taxes. when ever government increases expenses of business, they will find a way to try and keep their prices competitive. These minimum wage jobs were designed to give young people work experience.

Chippa completed the mother of all football fairytales when they defeated Santos 4-3 to win the Promotional Play-offs by gaining eight points in the mini league.
"We have already signed players for next season and we are prepared for life in the PSL.
"We knew that it was not going to be easy, playing against an experienced Thanda Royal Zulu side and players such as Eleazar Rogers and Erwin Isaacs was a tough task but we are not going to the PSL to add numbers," the coach said
The Cape side did not exist until 2010 and have only spent 24 months in the Vodacom League and National First Division and will now be competing with the big boys of the elite league.
Sikhakhane revealed that he will be continuing as the leader of the technical team as his mandate was always to take the side to the PSL.
"When I first took over, the chairman said to me that I should take the team to the PSL, I took it as a difficult task but I knew we had capabilities of promotion."
