Even in the digital age, knowledge happens because people with common interests can easily work alongside each other, wherever they come from. This open society is under attack amidst calls to leave the EU. Leaving the EU would have a more profound effect. Around 15% of academic staff in UK universities are from the EU, contributing to the talent pool and cultural diversity of UK education.
This article originally appeared on Huffington Post UK.
In 2012-13 there were 125,290 EU students studying in the UK - 5.5% of all students at UK universities. Within University of the Arts London, that figure stands at 15% of our students.
Setting aside the immediate economic benefit they bring, many of those students will go on to positions of influence in their home countries, with positive effects for the UK's soft power and trading relationships.
Alarmingly, student migration between the regions of the UK has also started to stall. Inadequate government support for maintenance grants has put subtle constraints on disadvantaged students. Because they cannot afford to leave home to study, they study locally. University catchments are shrinking both internationally and nationally.
This has a chilling effect because free movement of labour inside and beyond the UK are fundamental to the overlapping knowledge economy and creative economy.
In his independent review of the creative industries, published this week, John Woodward's third major recommendation affirmed this: "Government policy and effort need to take more account of the fact that the UK's creative industries are now part of a much bigger European and global business sector."
As numerous studies show, creativity occurs through individual patterns of movement and cultural exchanges. These bring academics and business creatives into contact with the people they need to meet at the time they need to meet them.
This is observable at local, national and international levels. Nesta's report on creative clusters and innovation in 2010 pointed out the unplanned human activity at the heart of innovative business areas. Crucial ingredients such as being near and connected to similar companies and clients: "are underpinned by a dense web of informal interactions and networking" with universities playing an important part. Similar findings have been made in the States.
The need to encourage research and knowledge by encouraging individuals to travel has not escaped policymakers in the European Union. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions programme is worth €6.16 billion to 2020 to fund transnational and interdisciplinary mobility for excellent researchers in any field. It also encourages mobility between academic and other sectors, especially business.
The Erasmus programme, meanwhile, has funded academic staff and student mobility for 25 years. In that time, almost three million students, 300,000 higher education teachers and other staff have gained overseas work experience. The programme has an annual budget exceeding €450 million; more than 4,000 higher education institutions in 33 countries belong to the network. Erasmus students do better academically, are more likely to start their own companies and are 50% less likely to experience long-term unemployment than those who have not studied or trained abroad.
This logic is so central to EU thinking that in 2008 a fifth freedom of movement was proposed for knowledge, which was particularly intended "to enhance the mobility and career prospects of researchers". As EU Commissioner Janez Potočnik said at the time, "The knowledge society of tomorrow needs the freedom, the freedom of movement of knowledge".
Those who care about knowledge need to fight for this freedom during and after this General Election, if we are to preserve an open society for those who create knowledge and intellectual property.

Nursing school is a competitive yet growing field in health care. With the rising cost of a college education, getting a tuition waiver to attend nursing school for free helps you receive an education without adding debt. Filling out your Federal Application for Student Aid as soon as you decide you want to return to school is the first step in getting your tuition waiver approved. If you're unemployed or were outsourced, you may qualify for a tuition waiver for nursing school.
Step 1
Research tuition waivers to determine what situation applies to you. You can find information through your unemployment office or the financial aid office at the nursing college you plan on attending.
Step 2
Determine whether you're eligible for tuition waivers. Unemployment may qualify you at some schools for a waiver. If you're unemployed because of job outsourcing, you may be able to take advantage of a special program for that type of displaced worker. Students who have low incomes also have the ability to qualify for tuition waivers for nursing school.
Step 3
Discuss your tuition waiver eligibility with the nursing school or the unemployment office to determine whether you qualify and find out whether they have additional options available to you. Bring supporting paperwork such as tax documents, unemployment files and a completed FAFSA with you.
Step 4
Apply for the nursing colleges that you feel best meet your needs educationally and financially. The school has staff who can help with paperwork, class selection and waiver forms.
Things You Will Need
- Unemployment verification
- Annual taxes
- Lying about your financial situation renders you ineligible for aid and may cause possible prosecution.
- Most waivers require you to maintain a specific grade point average to keep your waiver.

The din of Democracy, which ebbs and flows according to election cycles, has calmed as most Americans now focus on their normal lives. They had witnessed a historic amount of campaign spending, about $6 billion, more than one million political ads, and seemingly endless news coverage. After all the shouting was over, and the ballots were counted, the political balance of power did not change in Washington.
Yet one could conclude that the 2012 presidential election had two outcomes. President Obama was given a second chance to fix entitlements, tax policy, the economy, deficits and immigration. The American people empowered the president to stand up to the extremes of both parties, if necessary, to come up with reasonable and balanced solutions to these daunting problems. The Tea Party wing of the Republican Party was knocked back on its heels. So it is time for the president to be bold and use an "all hands on deck" approach in order to galvanize Congressional support around solutions. The president should also be transparent with the American people, in effect, "crowdsource" ideas, and include them in the process.
President Obama has a small window in which to act before the midterm campaign begins. He should first start building momentum by working out a balanced solution to the so-called fiscal cliff. Congress must have a budget agreement by the end of the year or the Bush tax reductions will expire and deep cuts will be made to the defense budget. It is time for a grand bargain, a compromise, that includes budget cuts AND some revenues.
Meanwhile, for Republicans, it is mourning in America. The party of Lincoln failed to recognize that the country is a melting pot with diverse voices and evolving needs. Instead, the GOP is hanging on to a Norman Rockwell vision of America. Republican members of Congress have been unwilling to budge on tax increases for the wealthy because they fear of losing the Tea Party's support.
Now Republicans have a chance to show all Americans that they are willing to compromise. Reaching an agreement on the fiscal cliff will be an important first step for them to reach out to all segments of the population. Republican House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday, "I think the members understand that the fiscal cliff... is unacceptable." And earlier this week he said, "The issue here is the president wants revenue. I'm willing to put revenue on the table." But the speaker will not agree to rate hikes for high-income earners, rather just closing loopholes and eliminating deductions. The Democrats don't agree with his approach.
If the president and Congress do not make a deal on the fiscal cliff by the end of the year, the U.S. economy will likely spiral into another recession. With so much at stake, the stock market has been sharply lower out of concern for what Washington will do. A solution requires compromise from both parties, and compromise will send a strong message to all Americans that both parties agree their country comes first.
One final note, President Obama received 9 million fewer votes than he did in 2008, while Mitt Romney received about 2 million fewer votes than Senator John McCain did when President Obama defeated him. It is likely they were turned off by the negative campaigns waged by both candidates, their misleading claims, and the sheer magnitude of the political advertising.
Among the losers this election year were billionaires David and Charles Koch, and Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate. They spent millions of dollars trying to defeat the president and failed.
Perhaps the biggest loser was Fox News contributor and GOP strategist Karl Rove. His political groups, American Crossroads/Crossroads GPS, spent about $325 million of other people's money trying to elect Romney and other Republicans to office with little success. He also had an embarrassing meltdown on television when Fox News called Ohio for the president.
Rove was unapologetic about his dismal campaign results, explaining in a conference call to donors Thursday, according to one press report, that the Republican losses would have been bigger without him. No doubt his financial supporters believe him.
And no doubt Rove is laughing all the way to the bank.

By MARTHA IRVINE
AP National Writer
Technology is supposed to make us easier to reach, and often does. But the same modes of communication that have hooked us on the instant reply also can leave us feeling forgotten.
We send an email, a text or an instant chat message. We wait _ and nothing happens. Or we make a phone call. Leave a voicemail message. Wait. Again, nothing.
We tend to assume it's a snub, and sometimes it is.
Erica Swallow, a 26-year-old New Yorker, says she's heard a former boyfriend brag about how many text messages he never reads. "Who does that?" she asks, exasperatedly.
These days, though, no response can mean a lot of things. Maybe some people don't see messages because they prefer email and you like Twitter. Maybe we're just plain overwhelmed, and can't keep up with the constant barrage of communication.
Whatever the reason, it's causing a lot of frustration. A recent survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 39 percent of cell phone owners say people they know complain because they don't respond promptly to phone calls or text messages. A third of cell owners also have been told they don't check their phones frequently enough.
It happens in love. It happens in business.
It happens in families.
Last year, Terri Barr, a woman on Long Island, N.Y., with grown children, sent her son a birthday present _ a $350 gift certificate for "a wonderful kayaking trip for six, lunch, wine, equipment," she says.
She sent him an email with the details, but he didn't respond. She says she then telephoned and texted him to tell him it was a present. He eventually sent a one-line email, she says, telling her he was too swamped to open her email gift right then.
Instant communication "can be wonderful _ but also terrible," says Barr, who shared the story more as a lament of modern communication than a reprimand of her son, whose busy work life, she acknowledged, often takes him overseas.
So this year, she sent him a birthday gift by snail-mail in a box. "He actually opened it," she says, and they've been talking more frequently since then.
Many other people, though, sit waiting for responses that never come.
Though we often assume the worst, experts say we shouldn't.
Frequently, they say, people simply _ and unknowingly _ choose the wrong way to contact someone.
She's also had technical glitches. For instance: thinking she'd sent a text message to someone overseas and then, when he didn't respond, realizing she had his international number programmed incorrectly in her phone.
That's why many people say they have no choice but to prioritize _ and to respond only to the most urgent messages.
That describes Mahrinah von Schlegel, who's working to launch a Chicago-based "incubator" that will offer shared office space and other resources for fledgling tech entrepreneurs.
But even then, she says, there are only so many hours in the day: "I still need time to eat and sleep and shower."
As she sees it, getting no response _ even when she's the one unsuccessfully trying to contact someone _ is just part of life in a high-tech world. A lot of young people say that, so they've become accustomed to having to try again, or try a different mode of communication if something is truly urgent.
So he's willing to try "multiple points of contact" when trying to reach his students' parents _ because, if he wants a response, "that's just how it is."
David Gillman, a 25-year-old Chicagoan, also opts for brevity and efficiency by sending mass texts to several friends at once to save time.
He only expects those who have time or inclination to respond, and doesn't take it personally if they don't.
It gets trickier, he says, with people from older generations, including his parents, because they like to leave him voicemails, which he doesn't like to take time to check.
Those types of missed communications _ and a lack of response _ can cause "turbulence" in a relationship, says Dan Faltesek, an assistant professor of social media at Oregon State University. But, he adds, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
And it'll go even more smoothly, he says, when people are willing to step outside their own favorite mode of communication to those preferred by the person they're contacting.
An example: Gnitecki, the teacher in Texas, is considering sending a survey home to ask parents how they'd like to be contacted.
Tech and communication experts agree that choosing a primary means of communication, and letting it be known, is one way to improve communication.
Rebecca Otis, content and social media manager at Digital Third Coast, an Internet marketing firm in Chicago, also recommends getting rid of email and social media accounts you don't check regularly. And text messaging, she says, should be reserved for communication that requires a more urgent reply.
Finding ways to prioritize, and receive, the most important messages also helps.
San Francisco-based AwayFind Inc. is among companies that have developed applications that help filter email _ in this instance, alerting users to important emails on their mobile devices.
In the end, we can't possibly respond to everything, says Jared Goralnick, the company's founder and CEO, who's also part of a nonprofit group called the Information Overload Research Group, which looks for ways to deal with out-of-control communication.
As he sees it, it's good to be responsive, "but not to set an expectation that you'll be available for everything."
In other words, if we're going to keep our sanity, we'll sometimes have to accept the no response.

PCCW in $1bn deal
China Netcom is close to announcing the acquisition of a 20 per cent stake in Telstra's Asian partner PCCW at a price of up to $US1 billion ($1.3 billion), the UK's Financial Times has reported.
The deal, which is expected to be announced next week, would be one of the largest investments by a mainland Chinese company in Hong Kong. It would also make Netcom the largest shareholder in PCCW behind its chairman and chief executive, Richard Li, and help the Hong Kong company reduce its $US3.7 billion debt.
The two companies have been in talks for months discussing how to combine operations.
A deal could have major implications for Telstra, which still shares the ownership of undersea cable operator Reach with PCCW.
According to a recent report by ABN Amro, Netcom's ownership of the Asia Global Crossing assets (which duplicates key Reach services) could see a Netcom/PCCW partnership divest its share of the Reach venture to Telstra.
Aside from the cost of acquiring the remainder of the struggling asset, Telstra would then have to account for Reach's losses on its balance sheet. This includes a forecast $US155 million in losses for 2005 alone.
Telstra has already taken full ownership of Hong Kong mobile operator CSL from PCCW. The looming departure of Telstra chief executive Ziggy Switkowski has given rise to rumours that it will sell off peripheral assets, such as the Asian mobile operation.

The characteristics which differentiate Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro from rest of the crowd are represented by powerful performance and high multi-tasking usability degree. Powered by the a Quard-Core CPU clocked at 1.2 GHz and Dual SIM capabilities, this phone will give you the mobility and elegance that will easily impress everyone around you.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro – Key Features
The Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro's 4.7″ screen is large and bright, ideally for watching movies and flickering through photos. Here you can enjoy a variety of color effects which are available thanks to the Android JellyBean interface, plus enjoy your favorite snapshots captured with the aid of the 5 MP camera. One downside of the screen, though, is its resolution. At 800×480 pixels some people might feel that there is room for more, especially considering device's excellent technical features.
Intuitive Interface with "Easy Mode"
The "Easy Mode" feature, for example, helps you access key areas such as favorite contacts, applications or the dialer. With its aid you can also have a quick spin through the gallery, just in case you need to find a certain photograph.
Enhanced Samsung Apps
Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro comes complete with the latest version of Samsung Apps. It is there to introduce a variety of e-books, games, news, navigation, productivity, social networking applications, and so on. By using it you can benefit from easy billing options, "try before you buy" services and discounted prices on your card bill.
Amazing Dual SIM Capabilities
Also, now there is no need to reboot the phone when switching between SIM cards, since the Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro allows you to navigate through the entire phone menu all while you receive a call on the other SIM card. And that's not all. You can even switch between a phone call and the text message editor on the fly, whenever you wish to.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro – Hardware
Back to the hardware side of the phone, one should note that its rear camera is LED flash and 720p video recording options. In addition, thanks to the native Samsung interface, browsing through its settings and switching modes (e.g. from "macro" to "landscape") becomes easier than ever. The phone also sports a VGA front camera, which is great for Skype conferences and quick snapshots in portrait mode. Playing graphic-intensive games shouldn't be a problem on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro thanks not only to its processor, but also to the 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory available. If you feel like the internal space is not enough for your needs, you can also extend it via a microSD card of up to 32GB.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro – Connectivity
As for connectivity, the phone features 3G+ characteristics (max. download speed of 7.2 MBps), Bluetooth v3.0, GPS (with a-GPS), and WiFi (all protocols). Streaming your favorite videos or online music shouldn't be a problem, except from the case when your GSM operator doesn't have 3G covering in your area.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro – Size and Battery
The included battery is a relatively generous one, numbering 2,000 mAH, although the screen might consume it quite fast at maximum brightness. Under normal usage conditions, it should easily last you for at least a day. Regarding the device's physical dimensions, we can say that it's neither too heavy nor too thick. At 9.65mm thickness 143.9g weight, it's just about the perfect size to carry away.
In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro is a phone which will definitely tempt a lot of people, especially judging by its characteristics. But one of the most attractive features is definitely the price, being unbeatable in its segment for now!

Leonid Bugayev Assessed the Moscow Parking App
Leonid Bugayev Assessed the Moscow Parking App
Leonid Bugayev, author of two books about mobile technologies, founder of the Experts Academy, creative director of
Today, paid parking lots in
What is your overall attitude to the paid parking lots project?
My attitude to paid parking lots is incredibly emotional. As a motorist, I put very high value on the possibility to move freely: easily find a parking space, take a walk in downtown
Have you ever paid for parking in downtown
Yes, I have. In recent ten years I paid for parking in the downtown by a variety of methods: I tried to escape those strange "ticket sellers" on
How do you assess the
The Moscow Parking app should come in handy for gadget maniacs who can easily link their credit cards or mobile phone numbers to the app and use it in the future to pay for parking. Still, parking meters, parking cards and other payment methods should definitely be available anyway since smartphones, unfortunately, have not become 100% widespread yet. Nevertheless, time is on the mobile app's side: the number of smartphone users is growing each day.
How do you this new app compared to foreign analogs?
When abroad, I mainly use parking meters: you see, to download and install a mobile app one should be living in a city for longer than a week. In
What's your opinion on the app's functionality? Which features made you happy?
A really exciting feature is the real-time display of the parking spaces number: how many parking spaces are vacant in each particular area and where I can park my car right now. This is a remarkable solution which saves my time, and I'm ready to pay for it.
As to things that are missing… I think, this is the in-app purchase functionality (and generally various in-built payment methods); and there is also no input mask for a phone number in the format +7 (xxx) xxx‑xx‑xx for the Android version. In the iOS, I have not seen this problem
How do you like the app's design: its visual appeal and usability?
The design serves its purpose: it ensures the app is recognized (by its logo and the icon that now can be seen in the streets and, in particular, on parking meters). And, which is most important, the design does not distract me from the main thing: I know my car is safe, everything is paid for, and I feel comfortable. J
What recommendations could you give the app developers? What would you like to be improved?
My advice to the developers: listen to your users, read their comments in the App Store and Google Play. The most obvious thing (I quote): add a check box for saving the phone number in the app so that the user could decide whether he or she wants the number stored in the phone or not. And, map caching too.
Do you think it is reasonable to add a social networking plugin to have the app synchronized with social networks?
I think sociality in this app should not interfere with the user's privacy. I would be unhappily surprised if the app posted on my Facebook wall something like "Leonid Bugayev has just parked at 5, Gazetny Pereulok. Put your like!" Therefore, the "Tell a Friend" button could be added but informing where people are situated at the moment – this function is for other apps.
What do you think in general about the idea of carrying the city services over to mobile app platforms? What other city services would you like to see in the form of a mobile app?
All services that we use monthly, weekly and daily sooner or later will find their places on the mobile device screen. All payments such as public utility charges and traffic infraction fines, information about traffic jams, road works, changes in timetables – all these services should be available through mobile apps.
Will you be using the
For sure! Hope I can contribute to this good cause: making so there are fewer traffic jams in the streets of our city and our car owners smile cheerfully having heard something like "I need to get to the Garden Ring quickly and come back in an hour" :).

The economy of Morocco continues to become service-based and the job market are more focused in employing people with new skills that can be applied in real life as well as competencies. The only problem lies with the teaching of foreign languages and how it does not meet the needs of the students who are already struggling in the 21st century.
Though there are many documents official supporting the teaching of English as well as statements released in various press conferences, this learning of a foreign language still follows strict traditional paradigms.
In a recent statement from the Minister of National Education and Vocational Training, Mr Rachid Benmoukhtar, expressed that they are focusing more on foreign languages in order to create more opportunities for the future generation so they may be able to easily find a job and be more competitive since everything is constantly changing. This sentiment is not new and has also been expressed last 2000 during the National Charter on Education and Training as well as the two previous school years.
The question is what the government is doing in the education system in order for this statement to take effect as said by the minister. Though there have been many claims in the official statements as well as documents, none have been implemented in Moroccan schools. The only step that the ministry of education did to improve the teaching of English in the country is through the adoption of International and Vocational Streams for the Moroccan Baccalaureate. In reality and practice in schools, there is no change when it comes to promoting the English language. As a proof, the teachers are still using the same books in school and the teaching materials are still the same – with the use of board and chalk. In general, the curriculum as well as the syllabus remains unchanged.
It is known that in order for the schools to teach another language more proficiently, there should be assessment procedures done. With the growing need for more competent teachers, native English speakers get paid to teach English abroad.

Australia's Got Talent – Jack Vidgen
Australia's Got Talent kicked off last night to very solid ratings, in fact it beat Masterchef Australia in Sydney. One of the reason people tuned in was this 14 year old boy. He wants to be the next Justin Bieber personally I think he should aim higher.

That kiss from Brian was so weird and inappropriate. Poor Jack hadn't even finished his song. Hmmm, and what if he had been a 14 year old girl?
Completely agree that he should aim much higher than Bieber but I can understand what he means. I found a couple of videos of Jack singing on youtube too – looks like quite a few people have been looking after his amazing performance last night. Here's one of him channelling John Farnham.
I much preferred AGT to MC. It was actually entertaining – I don't think I can say that so far about MC3.

If this kid gets his ears pierced and some cool stretchers put in he could be anything.

@BDD he could totally be an apalling amata cook who inexplicably wins MasterChef

Despite having two long touchdown runs called back and a potential touchdown pass dropped, the Bonney Lake Panthers found a way to dominate Enumclaw 48-14 Friday evening in a packed Sunset Chev Stadium, which in the past couple of years has been a virtual house of horrors for the Hornets.
It was spooky how swiftly Bonney Lake bolted to a 27-7 halftime advantage.
EHS, coming off a loss to Lakes, had its hands full trying to contain Bonney Lake's offense that averages 400 yards per game. Enumclaw relinquished 388 yards of total yards to the Panthers.
The South Puget Sound League 3A campaign finds the Panthers hosting Lakes at 7 p.m. Friday for the division championship.
Both teams are 4-0 in league as Lakes lost to Capital in overtime and Bonney Lake lost to Sumner in double overtime. Enumclaw can still slip into the playoffs with a 3-2 league mark if it can stave off Peninsula Friday in Orting.
Friday, Bonney Lake started with a pair of long touchdown rainbows tossed by Chris Brown to Austin Marshall.
The aerial tandem recorded its 17th and 18th touchdown hook-ups of the season, which leads the SPSL 3A by a considerable margin.
After the Panthers broke out to a 21-0 upper hand there was jubilation aplenty on the Bonney Lake sidelines, but BLHS coach Chad Barrett wasn't about to let his squad forget last year.
One could not blame Barrett for being cautious, as last season the Panthers jumped out to the same 21-0 lead but EHS battled back to overcome BLHS.
"I've got a long memory," Barrett said. "All I kept harping on in the locker room at intermission was do not let Enumclaw back into this game."
Bonney Lake unveiled another facet of its offense in the second half, when Marcus Kaelin rolled up four short-range touchdowns, rumbling in from the 1-yard line times three and once from 16 yards.
EHS lost lineman and captain Kevin Knapp for the season with a broken arm.
Scoring for the maroon and gold were Jason Greer, who was on the receiving end of a 1-yard Dylan Podolak TD strike as halftime approached, and David Brazier, who broke loose for a 34-yard gallop.

The Revolution to Restore the Republic of the United States
On November 5th 2013 WE THE PEOPLE will march on Washington DC peacefully and unarmed to arrest all members of congress, the president, and all supreme court justices where they will be held without bond until a full independent investigation and trial have been completed. We must re-elect our government within 90 days in order to stave of unrest.
First of all please know that this is not a Protest
This is a Citizen Action.
We need to organize a citizens arrest of all parties involved in the various criminal acts that have put our country as well as our world in jeopardy. This is going to be a lot of people but none the less it must be done. Hopefully there are some Sheriffs, US Marshals, and military personnel that will remember their oaths to this country upon the taking of this action by the people and lend their support and expertise in bringing known criminals to justice.
What we must do.
The time has come. There are many, many reasons as to why it has come to this but the most important ones are as follows:
First of all it should be perfectly clear that the voting system is not only rigged but also criminally negligent in the handling of our elections from at least 2000 if not further back.
Secondly it should be abundantly clear that the US government has declared war on the American people via such illegal acts as the Homeland Security, Patriot, and National Defense Authorization acts as ALL of the aforementioned acts violate the plain English of the Constitution in one way shape or form.
Third the Supreme Court has failed us in their duty to hear such Constitutional violations much less put a stop to them.
Fourth the President has made himself dictator through various presidential signing statements.
Fifth the US Government has allowed corporations to give orders to America via wars of aggression for resources as well as the many bank bailouts which essentially amount to strong armed robbery of North America as well as the rest of the world.
And finally the police, military, courts, politicians, etc. have failed us in their duty to protect us from tyranny and to have stopped this tyranny from ever having taken hold in the first place.

This has been my fear for a long time. The Gov acts as if the American Citizens are their sheeples, not the other way around. I think the Congress should take a helluva pay-cut for one thing. They are living it up on our dimes. It's bullshit that we are out here with no jobs and losing homes and they are still acting as though they are untouchables. We need to start electing our People! Get rid of a lot of those old people in Congress. They have been there too long, and they are in the pockets of all the Corporations we do not like. Wake up sheeples and smell the Freedom that awaits you. Debra
I love your post on marchondcnov5th. Thanks for sharing!
Are you going to arrest the past administration too? Bush, Cheny, Greenspan, or is this just for Obama's term? I need clarity, Where were you 6 years ago? This better be straight up, I am sick of the shit that gets spread on this internet… I believe I read all on this site, where is the mention of arresting Bush and Cheney? because if you don't, I am not with you….
this is just the beginning!!! Any movement has too start somewhere. Dont worry about Bush or cheney or anyone else atm. Get them later :)))))
Stay away Glen, your post indicates your not a very deep thinker and therefore dangerous.
Will there be buses Coming from various cities around the nation?
and for those who do not freely solicitate their information on facebook, what about them? I wish to attend this revolution….
Or somebody organizing buses ,Carpools?
Is everyone meeting in one spot or all over DC. I heard it would be near the Washington Monument.
Yeah whats the deal
Incredible! Thank-you, love & light to all involved. We must be the change we wish to see in the world.
Don't forget the Clintons;because Hilly has a big title now and has done more to take our means of defense from us than anyone in history,and just because Billy was IMPEACHED doesn't mean he's not STILL doing all he can to destroy our Country. I think Alcatraz would be a great place to put them all once they're convicted. We could sell tickets to ride past and stare at the criminals who ALMOST destroyed the greatest Country on Earth.
That both of our major parties are an absolute disgrace begs a simple question; Why? To blame it on greed and a moral breakdown is much too simplistic and does not get at the root of the problem. The fact of the matter is that there
are forces at play outside of our elected government that prey on We the People by preying on our elected officials. These forces are the true root cause of all the problems besetting our nation today: the economic woes, the divisiveness, the political stagnation, and more. Make no mistake about it folks; this hidden establishment owns both the known establishment and through it us, We the People.
This is why you cannot keep playing the establishment's game. You will see how the deck is stacked against you. You can't win! The only time the Government does anything for We the People is when they have to throw us a bone to keep us in line. It is like a line dance folks. With George W. Bush in the White House, you did the Texas two step for eight years until the economic crash woke you up a bit. You are now railing about Obama and Company. I repeat — both parties are an absolute disgrace. They are unwilling to serve the real powers that be, We the People. They are unwilling to confront the external forces that are taking this country down. Playing the same game with different players will not accomplish what must be done.
The message of this book is clear: You need to take a long hard look in the mirror if you want your country, nay, your freedom, back.
i"ll meditate for it.
If we succeed, it begins.
If we fail, it begins.
Giddy with anticipation…
to find out who is behind your problems, search for who benefits from your suffering, connect the dots. And you shall arrive to the truth shores. Just act fast before it's way too late to recover
Yea – BUT WE NEED HORIZONTAL SOCIAL STRUCTURE without leaders. each one of us has to be a leader – voting is delegating of own poitical power to others – keep your power for yourself (do not vote – BE THE POWER¨
GIFT ECONOMY = planting free wiki-trees in parks, school yards, public space…= free food = firtst step toward FREEDOM – using & creating FREE STUFF is the best weapon against their profit based system
PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY means that you are your own boss = you can write your own laws = diplomatic imunity to each one of us!
Voilà : horizontal social structure & GIFT economy & PERSONAL sovereignty = the solution against slavery
This is all well and good, I love the enthusiasm and the purpose behind it. But honestly, between everyone sitting at home lazily reading it and supporting the notion, how many of you are actually willing to lay down your life for this cause? You honestly believe you're going to be let anywhere NEAR these buildings with the intention of performing a citizens arrest on the United States Government? You couldn't perform a citizens arrest on a 10 year old shop lifting a snickers. I mean honestly, you think a peaceful march on Washington with the intention of arresting Congress is going to actually work? You put up the Constitution and your new Declaration, you are not colonial revolutionaries, you will not lay down your lives for this cause, because you have cushy homes and lives to go back to. When the law enforcement starts tear gassing your sorry asses, well see if you start pulling out your weapons and firing back. Like i said, im all for the cause, I dont believe our government has done right by the people because it is not for the people anymore, but lets be honest, you cant honestly believe this is going to work.
I have only one thing to say to those who participate and that is "good luck." Chances are that when you storm Congress and the White House, everyone will be off on a vacation courtesy of our tax dollars. The only people that will be there to meet you will be hundreds of thugs in riot gear with their clubs in hand ready to crack skulls. Personally, I would give anything to see all these crooks get their just desserts but I don't think this is going to happen on November 5 unless you have a well-armed and well-equipped army and the politicians decide to stay in town. But since you publicized your intentions, chances are they won't be there when you arrive. Sorry to be cynical on the matter but I've been around to know a pipe dream when I see one.
We have let our government become too powerful already.. I'm am in support of this movement but it will take hundreds of thousands of people for this to actually work.. The streets of DC would have to literally be flooded with people and I don't see that happening between now and November 5th.. Subsequent marches and a true rallying of the people in support of this would have to be achieved. I'm sure that it soon will as we see around the world in other countries like Egypt and Syria, people are getting tired of their governments delegating their lives at a personal level. Revolution is a right of any civilization and I firmly believe that a new beginning for the United States is close at hand.. People don't realize that this country is still very young in comparison to the rest of the world.. It has grown too fast and we need to slow this train down before we crash.
We need to be bigger, we need to get THIS out to more people…. How?? I don't know exactly, I need to think about it, but we all need to think about it, how can this word be spread more, everyone i know in my work facility none of them have enough guts to do anything like this, which is the entire problem of the people in the US. No balls to stand up for what is right, it's easier to look the other way and let someone else do it, but when everyone has that mentality, NO ONE does the RIGHT thing…. Thoughts? Ideas?? Lets all talk.
If it doesn't work, fine. Once gets some word out. People take notice. Do it again. More people notice. And again. And again. It wasn't the first day they got what they wanted in Romania back in the day, or in Egypt etc. the last couple years. The Tea Party put over a million people in DC twice and they just yawned. Occupy made a splash nation wide and they yawned. One of these times they are going to be caught sleeping and The People are going to be heard.
I am all for this. Anyone coming from Long Island who is willing to help a vet get there?
I wish I could be there , I will be there in Spirit , Praying and watching . And Trusting that all goes well. Watch out for the infiltrators, I heard that they have already been placed in the group. they will be the ones that start the violence, and then the whole group will be blamed for it.. God Bless
I understand the strong desire and need to overthrow a kangaroo government. I do believe this is a kangaroo government. Their has to be an interim government on stand by if you ate to keep law and order while ousting the current administration. Secret service on presidential detail may have a different opinion of the arresting group, so be prepared for an altercation. The tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time, it's been too long. I don't believe you'll succeed but best of luck to you
the ones who do not have transport, and are not on facebook, what about them?
I will be attending on Nov 5th 2013.
Your invited to join the "Massive National Protest"
I also invite you and millions of others to protest each U.S. State Capital, the White House and the Federal Reserve building on June 7th-8th, 2013. This will be an historical protest event that millions of citizens and non-citizens will be participating in. This protest will last 36 hours and starts June 7th at 8am until June 8th at 8pm. The purpose of this protest is to occupy, make your concerns known, talk to media, show the worldsatisfied with their representations of American citizens and that our protest will not end until they are
If you go unarmed you are sheeple being led to slaughter. Our military personnel take a solemn oath to defend the US and the constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Domestic enemies are now in the White House. It is time foir the mil to take them out with a predator drone strike, just like Obama HAS ALREADY USED ON US CITIZENS. The arrest of a rogue government is the job of the military not you. I am suspicious of your motives if you are against US corporations as they are owned by 90 million citizen stockholders in retirement funds, etc., not by war profiteers. No corps are making big bucks on these little anti-terror ops as you need a big shooting and bombing war to sell and use billion of bullets and bombs and order thousands of planes, tanks, trucks, humvees, and ships. Obama has ordered a billiom hollow point pistol bullets which are illegal under the Geneva Convention to use against enemy soldiers, but they can be used against us. YOU HEAR THAT MIL PERSONNEL?
Why we must fight? (And the simple remedy to cure it.)
I have a theory and I think it's true. I have been mulling over what a liberal is and why they do what they do. It may sound sophomoric and trite but I think it has to do with "spoilt-brat" syndrome and I'm not kidding.
They actually want a revolution, they actually want a beating! You see, if you look at most liberals they had life easy, too easy. Everything was handed to them, most hardly worked hard at all. (Not all who lived privileged lives are like that, of course, because some were never given the opportunity to become spoilt brats by truly caring parents).
If you examine most, if not all liberals, you will see most had vastly privileged lives. They cannot believe how stupid people are to put them in such undeserved positions in life! Thus, the typical adolescent and seemingly atrocious, ungrateful behavior they display for all to see.
They cannot believe what is so easily lauded on them while the rest of us trudge through life. Honor, riches, come so easy so they develop a certain guilt. A guilt that makes them wonder why they have not been punished like the rest of us.
So they do the most outrageous things. Things that people like you and me cannot understand the eventual SELF-DESTRUCTIVE behavior they want to give everyone. They actually want you to give them a beating so much that they impose this behavior on the rest of us. The more the merrier.
I read somewhere once that teenagers said they actually wanted their parents to discipline them when they went awry. Thus the outrageous behavior. The proof of love was needed in the discipline. Remember the story about the bully kid who dared you to knock the block off his shoulder? Well, these spoilt brats are now all grown up daring you to knock their atrocious political agendas off their shoulders now.
Look at your typical teenager. Is that not a liberal life? Everything is handed to you? No worry about food or shelter? No need to find work? See the similarities between liberal behavior and a teenager?
Understanding this, you can see liberals were born to be a thorn on the side of society. Their behavior need not rile you anymore if you look at it as "spoilt brat" syndrome, even though they are adults now.
NOW YOU KNOW THE REMEDY. Give them the beating they want and they deserve to preserve THEIR SANITY! Poking them so they see this is not a fairy tale to them at all (the good undeserved life.)
So by beating, I mean we must fight and confront all their nasty agendas and put up with when we realize it is not stupid at all, in a way, only that they want the beating they never got in life and NOW WANT because of, yes guilt! So clobber them!
So be mean, be firm, never give in, but most of all give them the secular whacking they need and want not feel no compunction, guilt, or anger about. It does take getting off that couch, however.
LET'S DO IT! There is a march taking place on November 5, 2013 to ARREST ALL OF CONGRESS, A CERTAIN MR. BARRY SAETORO, AND THE SUPREME COURT. IT IS NOT A PROTEST BUT A SIMPLE CITIZEN ARREST ACTION FOR THE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE USURPED THE CONSTITUTION WHICH THEY TOOK AN OATH TO DEFEND AND PRESERVE AND HAVE NOT FULFILLED THAT OBLIGATION OR DUTY AND HAVE COMMITTED TREASON.
Do not be afraid. They all are liberals with spoil-brat syndrome and actually want to be arrested, want to be clobbered. We must carry through and do our duty lest we all suffer under this common but easily corrected malady.
And by not doing nothing we are being complicit in their outrageous behavior and may even show we approve of it! We must not send such a signal. And besides it is OUR right, and an esteemed obligation to remove a government being run by spoilt-brats and is no longer serving the people and is destructive.
November 19, 1969: March on Washington against the Viet Nam War. About 4:30 PM outside the Justice Department about 150 of us were surrounded by men wearing body armor and carrying what looked like machine guns. Remember Kent State. They then gassed up, most likely hoping for an hysterical stampede so they could start shooting. But that's not what happened. Our group came with doctors and nurses from Lincoln Hospital, we were taught what to do if we got gassed. People walked away, saying "walk don't run", avoiding a panic. I was sure I was about to get shot that day. You think there is safety in numbers? Far from it. You think a "peaceful" protest will prevent injury and/or death to protestors? No, it won't. Get ready. Be prepared. Just saying.
Will be watching for credibility, developments,
This can not wait until Nov.this needs to happen now,to many people will die if they wait that long

Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen) Doesn't Pick at His Greyscale Prosthetic Because It Takes '6 Hours' to Put On
Among the many anticipated storylines from the soon-arriving Season 7 of Game of Thrones is how Jorah Mormont will fare in his battle against the impending creep of the greyscale he contracted in Season 5. Last time we saw him, Jorah was ordered by Daenerys to find a cure in one of the show's most beloved scenes. Yahoo TV chatted with Mormont himself, Iain Glen, and he may have hinted that things are looking grim for the exiled Westerosi.
We jokingly asked if he ever picked at the greyscale on his arm. "No, I don't, just because I know the work that these guys put into doing it," Glen told us. "The full prosthetic thing, it takes like six hours. So you get called at 2 in the morning. The last thing you want to do is [scratch it up]. I leave it alone, even though you do want to sometimes. But I resist."
Of course, the fact that Glen is getting up at 2 in the morning for a six-hour session can't help but make one wonder about Jorah's state going into the new season.
Greyscale is one of the crueler diseases in all of Westeros, a kind of leprosy with a dash of zombie spice. If you're unfortunate enough to contract it, the greyscale spreads over the skin, stiffening and cracking it. Eventually, if left untreated, it will start to hit the internal organs. It can also impact the mind, as those who have it long enough can be susceptible to violent madness. Ultimately, it's a grueling, ugly slow march toward death. The Stone Men that Jorah and Tyrion encountered in the ruins of Valyria are examples how awful it can be.
Yet, it is possible to survive greyscale. Princess Shireen (RIP) contracted it as a baby and back in the days when her welfare was paramount to Stannis Baratheon, he employed the greatest minds to cure her of it. Fortunately, it worked and the damage was stopped at facial scarring. Unfortunately, nobody really knows what exactly stopped it.
There's been plenty of speculation as to how our pal Jorah will be able to survive. Some have predicted he'll take a trip to the Citadel, home of the maesters, in hopes of using their collected knowledge to help him out. Maybe even Sam could come through with a clutch assist? Others are looking to the books. Others have suggested he could return to Quarth, a city with mysterious and magical people like Quaithe.
Whether Dany's greatest champion will be able to survive or not is a question Game of Thrones might possibly answer this upcoming season. But, six hours of prosthetic work certainly indicates he'll be doing pretty poorly.
Check out some GoT experts chatting about some of the craziest and coolest theories from the show:

340. I do not want to press you on those sort
of details but I would like to come back to the question of hiring
and firing which you mentioned as one of his responsibilities.
Where does Ann-Marie Whyte fit into that? Would she be the one
who made the decisions about hiring and firing people at the level
of Suzanne and Kevin, or would that be Alex?
(Dr Reid) I have not a clue. I have never discussed
this matter with Ann-Marie Whyte at the time or afterwards. I
have not spoken to Ann-Marie Whyte from the day the investigation
began until a week last Friday when I was in the Labour Party
offices. She was off on pregnancy leave for a lot of that time,
I have never communicated with her, I have never caused anyone
else to communicate with her. I have never spoken to John RaffertyI
tell a lie, I think I said, "Hello, how are you?" at
a Labour Party Gala Dinnerin the course of the investigation.
So I just cannot tell you. I genuinely had nothing to do at the
time, and have not since, with Ann-Marie Whyte, and Ann-Marie
I think has made that plain in the statement. It was my lawyer
who spoke to her to take the statement, not me.
341. Would she have been in a position to know
about employment contracts and the nature of them?
(Dr Reid) Let me put it this way, I do not believe
Alex would be the first to say he was on top of everything, including
the management of staff and budgets and things like that. Indeed
I think he may have indicated that in his evidence. To put it
another way, Ann-Marie Whyte is a very valued member of staff
and is still there running the staff, and I have never, ever,
discussed the employment of staff, either Suzanne Hilliard or
Kevin, with Ann-Marie Whyte.
342. Would the management of volunteers have
gone through Ann-Marie Whyte or directly to the General Secretary
or somebody else?
(Dr Reid) No. The idea that the General Secretary
of the Party in Scotland would be managing student volunteers,
for instanceno. Kevin was establishing the media monitoring
and all of these things are done on an ad hoc basis. I
sometimes think, and I can understand why, that Ms Filkin thinks
political parties run like corporate organisations. Well, they
do not, especially building up to a general election campaign.
Anyone knows from their party headquarters that if someone comes
in and says, "I can do a couple of hours", you say,
"Right, go there", and it does not go up to the General
Secretary of the Party to do that. It is obvious that in the case
of Suzanne Hilliard, for instance, Alex did not know anything
about contracts or when she was working for me or anyone else.
That is the reality, I cannot put it any more clearly than that.
The idea that volunteers come in and have an interview and sit
downno, word of mouth goes round, people come in. There
was one chap who I know was in there in the afternoons as a volunteer
who worked in a butcher's shop in the morning. It would be extraordinary
if on that basis it was claimed that the Labour Party was stealing
the butcher's money, but that is the sort of thing which I think
is behind the thought-process of the complaint. I think in terms
of volunteers coming in to help the Labour Party, I cannot imagine
that the General Secretary would be in the midst of a campaign
deciding who would come in to help out the media monitoring on
a four hour shift and marking the work-time they did. There are
no clocks in there. All of us here know the reality of a general
election campaign; people come inretired people, students,
people on an afternoon off, some of them come in regularly, some
of them do notand if you are there and you have a job to
do, you basically try and get people to help you.
343. So as far as Suzanne Hilliard was concerned,
she could quite possibly have sat down at a desk within the Labour
Party office and actually have done work for you at that desk?
Or did you have an expectation she would be in your constituency
(Dr Reid) No, I did not have any expectation she would
be in my constituency office because I was not going to ask someone
who was not physically typing the things to go across Glasgow
and sit in Hamilton every day. I was asking her to do the best
she could as a bright young girl under the circumstances with
things she had never done before, and I was very happy because
she was ready, she was available, she was bright, she was obviously
prepared to work hard and Kevin knew her. I was in those circumstances
where you were looking for someone very quickly. It is as simple
as that. I know this is anecdotal but it might explain it. During
the period when I hired Suzanne Hilliard, I also hired a civil
servantan assistant private secretary. His name is Stephen.
You can check with the Ministry of Transport who will no doubt
be able to give you a statement confirming this.
344. This is you as Minister, is it?
(Dr Reid) This is me as Minister. I hired Stephen.
Do you know where I interviewed Stephen, such were the pressures
on my time? I interviewed Stephen in the back of my car as we
travelled from the DETR building to the Ministry of Transport
in Marsham Street. I could not fit in the time to sit down with
him. This is the pace at which events move. There is an air of
unreality about some of the comments I have read in the report,
that as soon as people are working five or six hours this is a
full-time job. I was working 17 hours a day, seven days a week
as a Minister for Her Majesty's Armed Forces and I was doing it
as a Minister of Transport as well. The people who work for me,
including my constituency secretary work hours that people outside
of this building in which we all work would not believe. I have
the great fortune, and have had from when I came into this jobmaybe
I have just been lucky, some Members might not beof having
members of staff who are equally committed and dedicated, who
are prepared to do that work. I phoned some people who work for
me at two in the morning and asked them to go out and get me the
first edition of the Daily Record before the Internet came
in. People do that sort of thing, Ms Filkin. The type of people
who do that do not have set hours. While I can understand why
you are concentrating on 20 hours, actually that is not the way
most of us look on it. We want dedicated people in what is public
service. There were a couple of public servants here who worked
very, very hard and of course they did it because they were committed.
I like to think they were committed to some extent to me but,
of course, they were also committed to the Labour Party. Those
two things are not incompatible.
Shona McIsaac: I want to go back to the whole
issue of contracts and the hours the staff put in. If we go to
the Commissioner's report, John, it is stated I am trying
to find the relevant paragraph. You probably remember the paragraph
number better than I do. It is stated there that it is
Chairman: Which paragraph?
345. I had it all ready and marked before the
Division but I have lost my place now.
(Dr Reid) You will not believe this, no disrespect,
but the one thing I do not appear to have brought is the Commissioner's
report. No, I have it, along with my marking. Paragraph?
346. That is right, 259. The Commissioner asserts
that it is irrelevant whether the evidence gathered during the
course of the inquiry shows the three researchers did not work
the required numbers of hours for Dr Read and Mr Maxton when they
were under contract to the two Members. You have spent a lot of
time explaining the working practices and the hours and so on,
how do you feel about that comment?
(Dr Reid) I have to say, I find this the most perplexing
and disturbing section of this. I genuinely struggled to discover
how Ms Filkin could have upheld this complaint because after ten
months' inquiry she has conceded that Kevin Reid did indeed carry
out his work for me and the Fees Office in paragraph 267 of the
report. With the exception of the last few weeks, where I think
she gets the number of weeks wrong, five or six rather than two
or three, she also concedes that Suzanne Hilliard carried out
her work for me in paragraphs 268 to 271 of the report. So it
is conceded that my staff carried out their duties to me and the
Fees Office but Ms Filkin still upholds the complaint. I have
asked myself why. This comes back to paragraph 259, which you
347. That is the one I am concerned about.
(Dr Reid) If I can just turn to it. In that Ms Filkin
appears to say, to me extraordinarily, that the fact that my staff
discharged their duties to me and the Fees Office is irrelevant.
She also says that the evidence that they did this work is now
irrelevant. What mattersI am trying to put this in plain
languageshe says, is there was a conspiratorial arrangement
that my staff would work for the Labour Party. Forgive me, and
I hope the Committee will work through this with me, but we know,
and the Fees Office have confirmed, that there was nothing improper
in my staff working for the Labour Party in addition to the work
for me. That could not have been the improper arrangement conspired
at because there was nothing improper in it, otherwise the complaint
could not be upheld. So it must have been an arrangement that
they would not do the work for me. That can be the only improper
arrangement, as I understand it. But there was no such arrangement.
There is not a shred of evidence, even having looked at what Mr
Rowley says, that any such arrangement was made. In addition to
that, my staff did carry out the duties required to me and the
Fees Office because Ms Filkin has just conceded that in her own
report. What it comes down to, as far as I understand it, is that
Ms Filkin would have us believe that there was a vast conspiracy
involving all of the people that I mentioned earlier onKevin
Reid, John Maxton, the late Donald Dewar who is in the complaint
at the beginning, Ann-Marie Whyte, Jonathan Upton, various unnamed
officials and so ona conspiracy to do something that either
was not improper in the first place or, if it was improper, was
never put into effect. That was the ground on which, as far as
I can see, she seeks to uphold the whole complaint. It has to
me, and I can only speak personally, all the signs of someone
who has done ten months' work at countless expense to the taxpayer
and has not produced any evidence to uphold the complaint and
has, therefore, produced a paragraph based on conspiracyand
conspiracy, as you know, can be defined as breathing together.
I just do not see how this complaint can be upheld on that basis,
that there was an arrangement that was either proper, that they
worked for the Labour Party and worked for me, or that it was
improper, but was then never put into effect. And that somehow
this vast conspiracy is still covering up an arrangement that
was never actually used.
348. Moving on from that, John. In the previous
paragraph, 258, the hours are talked about. Although I acknowledge
the Commissioner's report says that is irrelevant I want to get
some things about this clear in my mind. Suzanne Hilliard and
Kevin Reid worked for you. If they did less hours for you one
week, what arrangements did you have for them to make up that
time in subsequent weeks? We can see at the end of that paragraph
the Commissioner has put down what her view is of what the working
practices of Members of Parliament should be.
(Dr Reid) Can I say, first of all, that the first
line of that paragraph, "There is an implication in the responses
of Dr Reid and Mr Maxton that the complaints can be substantiated
only if it can be proved that, whilst under contract to the two
Members, the three researchers carried out none of their parliamentary
duties", is completely misleading. There is no such implication
of that at all. If it were not for the fact that we all are very
busy people, I would love to go through the report paragraph by
paragraph on the speculations and so on that are in it. Having
said that, I have never implied that at all, any more than I implied
that Alex Rowley was motivated only by malice. The fact of the
matter is that all of us make judgments on all of our staff and,
generally speaking, we trust our staff. A variable contract is
by definition a variable contract. When in 1997 I asked the Fees
Office what I should put in this model contract, because it was
the Fees Office that advised me about it, I said "it is a
researcher", they said "how many hours do they work?",
"well, I estimate 20 but it could be less some weeks, it
could be more other weeks, it could shift over a period, there
could be a very bad month, then a very short month, a very long
month" and they said "what you put down is 20 hours
variable and if you feel that in the round over a period of time
that is a reasonable level then that is fine". And I did
that. If the Fees Office were happy with that, and I cleared these
sorts of things with the Fees Office, how can the Fees Office
have been misled? Again, that is upheld.
349. So you would trust your members of staff
(Dr Reid) This is a matter of balance, is it not?
You trust your members of staff to get on with the work, to do
the work you have asked them to do, until you have concrete evidence
that they are not doing that. I have been in the fortunate position
I have never had in 13 years a member of staff who has failed
in that senseother members may have had. So of course there
is a degree of trust and that degree of trust is even greater
the further away you go from your constituency office. It is even
greater if you are under enormous pressure to make ad hoc
arrangements because your full-time constituency secretary, on
whom I had depended for something like 13 years, was tragically
taken ill in the circumstances which I have given you elsewhere.
350. So you would not say to a member of staff,
"You only did 10 hours last week, you have to make it up
to 30 next week"?
(Dr Reid) I would not do it on a week to week basis
but if I thought a member of staff was swinging the leadput
it that waythen, like anybody else, I would tell that member
of staff. Or, if I thought, "I am paying more for this and
allocating money to this resource which I would be better putting
somewhere else"we are all short of resources to run
our constituency offices and to carry out the work we do, so we
would reallocate that resourceof course you would do that.
351. In paragraph 263 of the Commissioner's
Reportand this links in with what you have been saying
about the hours and you trusting your staff to do the work you
have asked them to doit says that you would have broken
the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament in relation to their
stewardship of public money if you did not keep close and continuous
supervision of both the quality and quantity of work produced
by employees. Do you think it is practical to do that as a Member
of Parliament who does not have, say, a London or South East-based
(Dr Reid) It is one of these paragraphs which is loaded
with innuendo, is it not? I do not know whether you could ask
any busy MP or minister or secretary of state to have the degree
of "close and continuous supervision over the quantity and
quality of work produced" in the way that is implied here.
You can set the calibre or the quality because you see that. The
quantityI doubt whether any of us, until we are faced with
the position I am in today, actually count the number of letters
which go through. I did that because the Susan Hamilton Agency
was able to provide me with materials and because I got my secretary
who is now back at work, to run a survey of six weeks' work which
showed that for every letter answered we actually received about
four. Which meant that if there were 444 letters dealt with and
typed in that period, we probably had 1,600 constituency letters
to handle before the other mail and so on. I have become very
aware of the quantity and quality but I have to say that I doubt
if any member of this Committee actually would have an idea how
many letters are going through their office week on week. It is
even harder, of course, with research, because a researcher is
not a copy typist. In terms of quantity, you cannot count up the
number of words someone has read, the number of papers they have
gone through and so on. But you do, like any employer, know whether
the demands of the job have been satisfied and whether the people
who are paid to do the work for you are doing that work. If I
may finally comment on the first paragraph, I did not "leave
all the responsibility on the three researchers", or the
two researchers in my case, to vouch for the number of hours they
worked. The first sentence talks about the number of hoursI
said I was perfectly satisfied with the number of hours and the
work they did. The last bit of the paragraph, you will notice,
changes from the number of hours they worked to the quantity and
quality of work. That is a different thing. That is easier to
do. What I can say to you is that in my experience of people who
have worked for me, they have worked the quantity of hours far
in excess of anything they have been paid by me to do, and I think
that is generally the case with most Members of Parliament, and
they do it because these people are committed politically, they
are committed to public service, which is precisely why they also
want to help out their own political parties.
352. Finally on paragraph 265, and, Mr Chairman
it may be that the QC who is present may be able to answer my
concern here. Paragraph 265 states, "... it is for each Member
to ensure that any additional outside commitment taken on by a
research paid through the OCA is not so onerous as to call into
question his ability to meet his or her parliamentary obligations."
If somebody had a member of staff who also had other paid commitmentsyou
mentioned somebody working in a butcher's shop
(Dr Reid) I do not want it to be found that is untrue.
It was either a butcher's or a fishmonger's. I can never remember
whether it was a butcher's or fishmonger's. I will check and send
you a note on it, Mr Chairman.
353. I am just concerned under employment law
and so on whether it would be in order for a Member of Parliament
to start questioning someone's commitments elsewhere anyway if
people are doing other paid work. I do not know if the QC has
any particular view on this.
(Dr Reid) I will give my view and then, if the Chairman
wants it, you can ask Mr Goudie. My view is this, your primary
concern is to make sure that the people who are paid by you actually
produce the work for which they are being paid. If they are working
and are also committed as volunteers to the Territorial Army or
the scouts or any charity or any paid capacity outside, it is
quite clear from the Fees Office there is nothing whatsoever improper
about that, whether it is in politics or not in politics. So provided
that you are content that they are doing the job for which they
are paid, there would be no practical reasons, there would be
noas the Fees Office made clearregulatory reasons
for saying to people, "You can only work for me provided
you do not go and support this party or this charity." I
have no idea but I suspect that would be a breach of people's
rights but I do not know.
Chairman: Do you want to pursue this?
Shona McIsaac: I wanted a quick legal
view as well. I have reasons for this, Mr Chairman.
Chairman: Unless you feel really strongly,
I would prefer you not to.
354. I do feel particularly strongly about this
(Mr Goudie) Chairman, if you are content for me to
answer the point, I can answer it very shortly. The Committee
will no doubt appreciate that there are cases where the contracts
of employment may, rather exceptionally, make clear that the employee
owes an exclusive duty to the employer, and any element of what
is sometimes termed "moonlighting" is therefore out
of order. One would certainly not expect to see that in a contract
which provided for only 20 hours' work a week and in circumstances
where it is quite clear that it is compatible with one contract
of employment that the employee may have another contract of employment,
or other contracts of employment, or other outside commitments,
whether of an employment nature or not, although of course the
employer would be concerned to see that the employee was delivering
the goods to them in terms of the contractual obligations owed
to that employer. It would certainly not be part of the employer's
province to intrude into the question of what the employee was
doing in their other time.
355. That was my understanding.
(Mr Goudie) I hope that answers the question.
356. Thank you. Two more very brief questions.
The taped conversation between you and Alex Rowley, you did not
know that was being taped, did you? He did not tell you?
(Dr Reid) No.
357. How did you feel when you first saw that
(Dr Reid) Somewhat surprised since it became obvious
to me that Ms Filkin had known from 21st March that I had a conversation
with Alex Rowley and secondly that it had been taped. Given that
three months later she actually asked me the straight question,
"Have you had any conversations with Mr Alex Rowley",
I did feel that, to be truthful, it was a bit like entrapment,
but I had answered the question truthfully. How did I feel about
Alex doing it? I could not understand the reasons why he might
do such a thing. I know that it is the practice of Mr Nelson to
do it but basically I felt that Alex had in a sense tried to set
me up. The only final comment I will make is that I might have
tried to be more articulate during it. Alex and I both, when we
speak at home, tend to have accents which are a wee bit different
from the one I am using for the Committee at the moment, do you
know what I mean? We use expressions like, "D'ya know what
I mean?" I actually thought the only thing which was embarrassing
about it was this continual use of, "D'ya know what I mean,
Alex?" which does not have the Monty Python, nudge, nudge,
wink, wink, implication when used in the Scottish vernacular that
it appears to some people to indicate.
358. It would appear from the transcript that
you tried to dissuade Alex Rowley from taking evidence on oath.
(Dr Reid) Alex Rowley had mentioned this oath question.
Alex was very concerned. The very first conversation he had with
me was when Dean Nelson had apparently said something to him about
he may be forced to give this on oath. Throughout this conversation
with me Alex continually said two things to me which perplexed
me slightly. One was, "I must tell the truth. I must tell
the truth" and I told him he had to tell the truth but it
must be nothing other than the truth and that speculation was
not telling the truth, it was telling a lie. That is the first
thing that I would make plain. I never on any occasion, despite
what is said in certain sections of this report, put pressure
on Alex Rowley other than to tell the truth. I said "tell
the truth". I mentioned it about six times during our conversation.
The second thing is Alex had continually raised this question
that we might be in court and have to answer questions under oath
and so on. I had assured him that it was fine, that he did not
know a whole lot of things, like I had checked with the Fees Office,
that the work was being done for me, that I had evidence the work
was being done, that my secretary was off, but he raised it in
every conversation. When he raised it in this conversation I said
to him, "Alex, you do not need to take the oath" because
I was aware of the fact that he did not need to take an oath.
I told him what subsequently Ms Filkin has published as part of
her own procedures. I am not sure where the reference is that
I can give you. Ms Filkin makes, quite correctly, a gesture in
saying that people are not required to take the oath and I told
him. If my advice to Alex Rowley that he has the option of not
taking an oath was somehow wrong but Ms Filkin's public advice
that people do not need to take an oath is somehow right, I do
not know where the double standards are coming in.
Chairman: One last brief question.
359. Can I just say that the transcript which
you have seen is incomplete and there are large parts in my view
of that tape that are not included in the transcript.
(Dr Reid) They are not what, sorry?

Help! I'm gay and a Christian, where can I get support?
Just because you're gay and a Christian doesn't necessarily mean you'll need any more support than anyone else. Plenty of LGB Christians are happily leading ordinary lives and getting on with their faith, church, vocation and relationships.
Having said that, almost every LGB Christian we've come across has found some part of this a struggle. As Brenda, one of the contributors to Living It Out puts it, "We have all – LGB and straight – received so many negative messages, especially from church, it would be surprising if some of us do not need to unscramble the tangle."
We suggest you start by thinking what kind of support you're after. Do you want help understanding whether it's okay to be gay and a Christian? Or to get advice about how coming out to friends and family? Do you want to meet other people in the same situation or to find an LGB-friendly church? Next have a look at our Links page to see if anything suggested there fits your needs.
Feel free to contact us if you'd like further pointers. We'd better say now that we can't help everyone individually, but we can put our heads together with yours to help find someone who can.

Daily Show host John Oliver took aim at the George Zimmerman not-guilty verdict and Florida's self-defense laws, saying the state has rebranded itself into the worst of the 50.
"I think it might honestly be time for the Sunshine State to officially change its motto," Oliver said.
"Welcome to Florida: The worst state," a graphic of a mock roadside welcome sign said as it flashed on the screen behind him.
"Of the many truly depressing things about this case, where a man was found not guilty after admitting pursuing and shooting an unarmed teenager, one is just how unsurprised people seemed to be about the verdict," Oliver said.
He then played news clips of pundits explaining Florida's self-defense laws and why a not-guilty verdict was likely in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an armed 17-year-old from Miami Gardens.
"How does 2013 Florida have a law that seems it was cut and pasted from 1881 Tombstone?"
However, the findings of the jury might not be rooted so much in Florida's Stand Your Ground self-defense law, which can allow a law-abiding person to use deadly force in a confrontation without trying to retreat ahead of time.
Even critics of Stand Your Ground say that the facts of the Zimmerman case – the absence of a witness, a bad prosecution effort – made a conviction tough under a typical self-defense scenario that exists in other states without Stand Your Ground.
Still, a juror told CNN that the jury explicitly discussed Stand Your Ground, which appeared in the standard jury instructions as part of Florida's self-defense code.
"Let's be clear, here." Oliver said. "According to current Florida law, you can get a gun, follow an unarmed minor, call the police, have them explicitly tell you to stop following them, then choose to ignore that, keep following the minor, get into a confrontation with them and, if at any point during that process you get scared, you can shoot the minor to death, and the state of Florida will say, 'Well, look, you did what you could.'
That statement, however, had an error: Zimmerman was not explicitly told not to follow Trayvon, but was instead told by a dispatcher: "Ok, we don't need you to do that."
Oliver also faulted Zimmerman's lawyer, Mark O'Mara, for saying his client wouldn't have been prosecuted if he were black.
"The one thing that our justice system is notorious for is how lenient it is on black people," Oliver said sarcastically.
The comedian criticized Zimmerman's brother, Robert Zimmerman, for "expressing a fear about armed vigilantes," which describes the defendant.
Oliver wrapped up the episode by noting that Florida probably won't change Stand Your Ground, which has not been "applied rigorously across the board." He pointed to the case of Marissa Alexander, a 31-year-old Jacsksonville woman convicted of gun crimes for firing a warning shot at her estranged husband during a dispute.
"Just because you're shaped like some combination of a gun and a dick doesn't mean you have to act that way," Oliver said
"Has it ever occurred to anyone visiting Orlando that, when Mickey Mouse is waving at you, what he's actually trying to say is: Please someone get me the f--- out of here, these people are f---ing crazy."

Doctor of Optometry: Application Instructions
Applications may be filed after July 1 of the year preceding a candidate's planned matriculation date. Our application deadline is March 15. NECO's admissions review and selection process is on a rolling basis. Available seats in each entering class are filled throughout the year, so early application is strongly encouraged.
There are two parts to your application for admission to NECO:
1. OptomCAS Application
The OptomCAS application, administered by a central application management service, is an essential part of your application. Interested candidates must create an account with OptomCAS in order to submit an application to NECO. The OptomCAS application contains questions regarding your personal and educational background, essays, self-reported OAT scores, transcripts, and references.
During the fall, when application volume is hightest, it may take 4-6 weeks for your application to be processed by OptomCAS. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to initiate and submit your portion of the application in a timely fashion and no later than mid-February, so that your file can become complete by mid-March.
Academic Transcripts
Academic transcripts represent an important history of your academic work, achievement, and level of preparation for the rigors of the study of optometry. Official transcripts from each college and university you attended should be sent directly to OptomCAS for evaluation. These must be mailed directly from each institution's registrar's office to:
PO Box 9119
Watertown, MA 02471
Please note that some Advanced Placement credits granted by undergraduate institutions may satisfy prerequisites. Only scores of 4 or 5 will be considered and an AP report from the College Board must be sent directly to the Office of Admissions at the New England College of Optometry.
Letters of Recommendation
These letters provide important insights into each candidate as a student, employee, and person. Three letters are required:
- Two letters should be from faculty members familiar with your work in the classroom and/or lab. If a letter of recommendation is written by a health professions advisory committee, only one comprehensive summary of a candidate's academic evaluation is necessary.
- One letter should be from an optometrist the candidate has shadowed. This letter must be from a professional outside the candidate's family.
2. The Optometry Admissions Test (OAT)
The Optometry Admissions Test is required and should be taken as early as possible in the application cycle. You must elect to have your scores reported to NECO in order for us to consider your application.
Often candidates seek to re-take the OAT and must wait 90 days to do so. It is advisable to plan for a possible re-take of the OAT within the calendar of the application process.
