MICROSOFT has skewered rival Google for going through customer emails to deliver ads, but it's acknowledging that it searched a blogger's Hotmail account to track down who was leaking company secrets.
John Frank, deputy general counsel for Hotmail's owner, Microsoft, said in a statement Thursday that the company "took extraordinary actions in this case."
He says that in future, Microsoft would consult a former judge to determine if a court order would have allowed such a search.
The case involves former employee Alex Kibkalo, a Russian native who worked for Microsoft in Lebanon.
According to an FBI complaint against Kibkalo filed in federal court in Seattle on Monday, Microsoft found him in September 2012 after examining the Hotmail account of the blogger with whom Kibkalo allegedly shared proprietary Microsoft code….

We've made our predictions. We're crossing our fingers for a few gorgeous surprises. And we're hoping our favorite ladies of the silver screen really bring it on the red carpet at this Sunday's Oscars. But before all of that, let's give them a little lesson in what not to wear, shall we? Take a look at my picks for the eight biggest Don'ts in Oscar history, after the jump!
Demi Moore is the picture of understated elegance these days, but back in 1989, when she and Bruce Willis were still together, she showed up to the Oscars looking like one hot mess. A bustier, glitter bike shorts, and a brocade waist cape? Someone get this woman a mirror, stat!
It was a similar story for Kim Basinger in 1990: Still married to her super-famous husband, Alec Baldwin, and still not quite certain of her personal style. I call this one "Michael Jackson meets Marilyn Monroe...in a mental institution."
Two years later, Geena Davis was equally guilty of abusing her accessorizing privileges when she added above-elbow-length gloves to the already-frightening mix of witchy shoes, a ruffled asymmetrical hemline, and some cups-runneth-over type cleavage. Yowza.
We dig a little bit of menswear inspiration around here, but Celine Dion's 1999 backwards-tuxedo-and-jaunty-hat ensemble went straight to weird territory. One word: Don't.
Sign up for Glamour.com's Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters!
No list of Oscar Don'ts would be complete without the Grandaddy of them all--Bjork's unforgettable 2001 swan dress. It's been so ceaselessly mocked, parodied, and referred to that it's almost transcended to Do status!
Luckily for Hilary Swank, the backless Guy Laroche gown she wore to pick up her Best Actress statue in 2005 all but obliterated any memory of this hideous pink confection from 2003. Lesson learned: Just say no to Pepto Bismol-inspired tulle!
Oh, Uma...where should we even begin with this dress? Its insanely ill fit? Its completely unflattering, paper bag-like quality? The fact that it looks like it's accessorized with a backpack? I'm sorry to say 2004 was not your year, doll.
Taraji P. Henson made our Best Dressed list in Roberto Cavalli last year, but she didn't fare quite as well back in 2005. Carolina Herrera may have said orange is the new red, but when you're spilling out of your dress like this, it's just the new TMI.
There you have it, ladies! Which dress gets your vote for the hands-down biggest Don't? If you absolutely had to pick one of these to wear yourself, which one would you go for?
Cleanse your palette of so much Don't-ness with our list of the BEST Oscar gowns ever...then come straight back here to STF Sunday night, where we'll have a roundup of our best dressed ladies and instant Twitter updates on what your favorite stars are wearing!

All Cheaters Eventually Get Caught: Woman Dumps Boyfriend After Finding Him Pictured On Google Maps Hugging Up On Another Woman!
"There is no good way to find out that your significant other is cheating on you, but one woman in Russia discovered her boyfriend's infidelity in a pretty surprising manner. Marina Voinova was looking up an address on Russia's version of Google Maps, Yandex Maps. She wanted to get a closer glimpse of a building using the street view feature. So she zoomed in, and there was her boyfriend Sasha with his arms around another woman." - Yahoo

About Mr June
In a quest for the perfect form, intuition outweighs ratio
"I never sketch, I just react"
Mr. June goes with his gut. A Dutch mural artist who sees the streets as an art playground, perhaps you can tell his roots are grounded in the golden age of hip hop and vibrant street culture. He was a teenager in the 80s: a breakdancer and graffiti artist. Graphic design school followed, and a prominent ad agency tapped him as their art director even before he graduated. But a brief dalliance in the corporate world was enough for Mr June, who pretty soon gravitated back to where it all began: street art.
Lines, direction, color shading and an illusion of dimension: Mr. June lives and plays at the intersection of graffiti and abstract art. Complexity and simplicity. For Absolut Art, Mr June presents CUBES: an exploration of the hexagon, on city walls across the world.
Out Of Order is Mr. June's design studio; another outlet for his fervent love of graphics and typography. Here, he delights companies with his unique knack for branding by way of chaos and innovation.

Guy born with total color blindness can now hear colors
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Science, Software, Videos
Neil Harbisson was born with achromatopsia, which means he can't see colors. He lives in a world of black and white. Not satisfied with having to remember that the sky is blue, or that lemons are yellow, he teamed up with Adam Montandon to develop a brain implant that they call the Eyeborg, which turns colors into sounds. In 2010, the Cyborg Foundation was born—an organization to help humans become cyborgs. Check out the fascinating details in the video after the jump, and be on the lookout for other projects from the Cyborg Foundation, including the Earborg (turns sounds into colors,) and the Speedbord (detects movement through earrings that vibrate.)

- Demand Regulator permits constant flow operation
- Demand Regulator designed to operate with constant inlet pressure of 65 to 125 PSI over chamber pressure

Pressur Vak II™ - Medium Long Face Seal without 1st Stage Regulator Assembly without Microphone - P/N: 803139-01-03 Includes:
- (1) Oxygen Cleaned Quick Disconnect Socket - P/N: 18969-00
- (1) Exhaust Quick Disconnect Socket - P/N: 59853-00

- Description
The AVOX 803139-01-03 Pressur Vak II™ is designed to administer oxygen or gas mixtures to a diver or patient in a hyperbaric chamber environment. The demand regulator assembly provides breathing gas on demand (inhalation). The regulator is designed to operate with a constant inlet pressure of 65 to 125 psig over chamber pressure.
For chamber depths over 60 FSW, a secondary vacuum regulator must be installed. It is recommended to use a negative spring biased back pressure differential regulator, such as the Tescom Regulator 26-2912-282A. A hull-stop valve should be an integral part of the system as a safety device to shut down the vacuum should a pressure loss occur. The vacuum regulator allows the exhaled gases to be carried to the outside of the chamber thereby eliminating oxygen buildup or contamination of the chamber environment. The vacuum of the exhaled gas is a direct function of the differential pressure of the chamber and the ambient environment.
The AVOX 803139-01-03 Pressur Vak II™ comes complete with Medium Long Face Seal with Standard Strap Assembly, Dual Demand and Exhaust Hose Assembly with Quick Disconnects, Demand Regulator Assembly and Exhaust Regulator Assembly.
Warning: The Pressur Vak II™ is designed for surface decompression in a recompression chamber and is not intended for underwater use. It may also be used for other applications which require overboard discharge of exhaled gas.
Product FAQ's
Does the 803139-01-02 Pressur-Vak II BIBS Mask have any test certs confirming it is suitable for use in a saturation chamber rated to 300 MSWNo. The Avox Pressur-Vak II BIBS Mask is not intended for use in a saturation diving system. Amron's 350M and 450M BIBS Masks are designed for use inside a saturation diving system and have been tested to Norsok U-101 breathing standard and performance tested by Nui and validated by DNV.
Is the Pressur-Vak II BIBS mask DNV approved?
Can the AVOX Oxygen Mask hoses and diaphragms be cleaned using a sterilizing machine? The sterilizing machine operates at 212°F (100°C).
The AVOX Oxygen Mask was not designed to be cleaned by a sterilizing machine. We recommend using SaniZide-Plus to disinfect your AVOX Inhalator. You can also clean all metal and non-metal parts with nonionic detergent such as "Ivory Liquid" and warm water (110 °F maximum). Rinse with clear water and dry completely before storing or using.
The information provided should be used as a guideline only. Every company should have their own procedures in place for cleaning and/or disinfecting safety equipment used in oxygen and breathing environments.
Are the hose connections on the Amron BIBS mask the same as the Avox hose connections?
Yes, both the Amron and Avox BIBS Mask connect to same Hansen quick disconnects. Amron part number 59853-00 for the exhaust quick disconnect and 18969-00 for the oxygen inlet.
What does BIBS stand for?
Built-in Breathing System
How often should I clean my BIBS Mask Hose Assembly?The frequency of cleaning will vary based on the hours of use. Typically the hoses should be internally cleaned at least every 6 months. They can be cleaned with SaniZide or soap & warm water, rinsed with water, and dried. Some facilities require them to be cleaned to a specific O2 cleaning standard.
What is the temperature rating for the plastic used to make the 803100-01 Manifold Assembly?The polycarbonate which this manifold assembly is manufactured from can withstand temperatures down to -22ºF (-30ºC).

Kabongo scored Texas' first six points in overtime, opening the period with a 3-pointer to give Texas its first lead since early in the first half.
Romero Osby scored 31 for Oklahoma (18-9, 10-5 Big 12), which led 67-45 on a dunk by Amath M'Baye with 7:54 to play in regulation. Texas stormed back behind a 13-0 run that flipped momentum.
Sheldon McClellan scored 17 for Texas (13-15, 5-10), including three free throws with 9.5 seconds left. Osby missed one of two free throws on the other end, setting up Kabongo's desperation shot that tied it at 77.

A Happy New Year! January 1, 2008Posted by cjescribano in blogging, ideas, Uncategorized.
Tags: blogging, ideas
add a comment
Well, it's been a while since I've written a post on this blog. I'm not sure where the last few months went. They seem a blur of commitments, obligations, places to go, and things to do. All good things, but just a blur. And so, blogging fell by the way side. But I have committed to pick it back up and be more devoted in 2008.
November's Experiment
In November, I conducted a wonderful experiment in honor of National Novel Writing Month. I didn't actually participate in the month-long event; that is, I didn't publicly state my intention to write a novel in November and I didn't participate on the NaNoWriMo web site. But I did commit to writing at least one page a day of my novel. And I held to that commitment. It wasn't always easy, especially during Thanksgiving when I was off my usual routine, staying at my brother's house, with other people wanting my time and attention to do fun things. But I did it, and that's what counted. And it helped me to see that if I made a commitment like that, I could stick to it. And I would be amazed at what I was able to accomplish. I always think "I don't have time," but I learned that I could make a lot of progress on a novel if I just commit to writing one page a day.
January 2008 Experiment
Anyway, for this month, I plan to focus on blogging, and my commitment is to submit a blog post everyday. Sometimes, in the past, I couldn't always think about what to write about. But my purpose for this blog has become clearer to me in recent months when I wasn't writing.
I truly believe that nothing is really learned until it is lived. That's why self-help books don't often help. It's one thing to read about all the things you need to do to be more assertive. But it's too easy to put the book away and never once try out those things when you're done reading. So, here is where I play with all the ideas that inspire me–the things I read about, the ideas I get from friends and colleagues, the things that experts are telling me I "should" do. When I get inspired by an idea, I'll figure out a way to live it. And then I'll let you know where that idea takes me.
Big Ideas that Inspire Me
I realized that I have A LOT of big ideas that inspire me, including:
- Neuroscience–everyday, researchers are learning more and more about how our brains work, and that should affect how we teach people. I plan to follow what's going on in neuroscience and think about what that means for designing instructional events.
- Movement and Learning–several years ago, I took a class on Improv and Training, and the instructor kept telling us, "If you move differently, you think differently." I find that thought intriguing, and I'd like to know more about how people can change the way they think just by moving a little differently. I guess this ties in quite a bit with Neuroscience.
- Structures of success–I think successful people see the underlying structure of an event or organization and are able to navigate it better than those who don't see that structure. I want to take a closer look at the underlying structures of things to see if I can start to see those hidden pathways to success.
- User experience–What makes for a great user experience, whether it's a book, movie, training program, or Web site?
- Information management–How can I manage all the data that comes flying at me every day?
- Education–What makes for a truly great education? Is private school better than public, and if so why?
So, I have some ideas and I have the commitment to follow through. Let's see where this next month takes me.

At Senate Hearing, Jamie Dimon confronted by Occupy Our Homes DC
Press Contact:
Occupy Our Homes DC,
Occupy Our Homes DC- Wednesday June 13th, five members of Occupy Our Homes DC temporarily silenced former J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon while he stood in front of a Congressional hearing.
Deborah Harris, a disabled former paramedic who lost the title to her home due to J.P. Morgan's unethical business practices and is now facing eviction, confronted Mr. Dimon over a microphone, asking him to face the thousands of homeowners like herself that are loosing their homes because of his work. She was quickly dragged away while fellow Occupy Our Homes members chanted and loudly accused Mr. Diamond of being a crook.
The protesters, including Ms. Harris, were held in jail for most of the day and by 6:00pm all had been released.
"I told him to face up to the little people, like me, who had saved up for years only to have their homes taken by giants. When they slapped the handcuffs on me, I felt very proud that I was a voice who stood-up." Deborah Harris, an Organizer with Occupy Our Homes who is facing eviction.
"I found it shocking that Jamie Diamond a billionaire who is responsible for taking thousands of people's homes can go before a congressional committee, just apologize and walk away. While those of us who are standing for those that lost their homes are hand-cuffed and thrown in jail." said, Micah Bales, an Organizer with Occupy Our Homes-DC.

Interview: Marisa Berenson
Impossible Conversations, The Costume Institute's Spring 2012 exhibition, celebrates the work of two influential women in fashion: Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. Although they are from different eras, each woman established a unique voice in an industry full of followers. Schiaparelli built her brand before and during the Second World War. She worked with the likes of Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau and was first and foremost an artist; one who had the talent to build a fashion empire, but not necessarily the desire. Miuccia Prada, on the other hand, has both, and continues to enjoy almost unparalleled artistic and commercial success.
Seventies supermodel and actress Marisa Berenson is Schiaparelli's granddaughter. She was also very close to the extraordinary, eccentric former Editor of US Vogue, Diana Vreeland, whose work at The Costume Institute made it what it is today. Berenson has been guided by strong, independent women all her life. We spoke about finding spirituality, her grandmother's secrets and about the luminaries that inspired her.
Alice Cavanagh: Marisa, how are you?
Marisa Berenson: I'm well, thank you. How are you?
I'm well. So, you're in Marrakech?
Do you live there?
Yes, partly. Not all the time, but part of the time, yes. I moved down here about six months ago and I've been in and out, but I'm trying to spend as much time as possible here.
It's an escape for many people, and often it's a spiritual escape. Is that what it is for you?
Yes, but it's [also] a combination of things.
You are a very spiritual person, though. Have you always been?
Yes, I have. I mean, I think I took consciousness of all of that when I was about seven. I was a very existential girl, asking a lot of questions about my reasons for being and why I was here and what I was doing on this planet, and if anything was my mission here. My spiritual strength is probably what's gotten me through everything in my life, so it's very important to me.
In the seventies you were in an ashram with some of The Beatles. So many people went on a spiritual journey then. Was it a particular reaction to the lifestyle and the culture of the time?
I think so, but I think there have always been people searching in life, in any lifestyle, in any century. But our generation had very much, I think, a sense of wanting peace. It was all about love and peace at the time. It was all [about] being against war and trying to define one's identity, and freeing oneself from the generation of our parents who had gone through the war. It was very free at the time; women were becoming emancipated and people were searching. I think for our generation there was spiritual, but there was also a lot of drugs — which is still going on the world — and rock 'n' roll and sex.
What about your parents' generation? Were they spiritual at all, or were they quite removed in that sense?
No. I mean my mother was, my grandfather was… they didn't speak about it very much. I was brought up a Catholic … but my grandmother was quite mystical. Although she never spoke about it, there are definitely things that I know about her or discovered about her that [made me] realise how mystical she was.
What are some of your earliest memories of your grandmother?
Oh, she was with me since day one, because she was very much the backbone of our family. She was always very present and in my life. I've had many memories of her since I was baptised in her house in Paris, rue de Berri … I even lived with her at a certain point.
When did you live with her?
Well, at the end, actually. I lived with her in the seventies when I came back from New York and I was living in Paris. I moved in with her because she had a bighôtel particulier in Paris, and I had the last floor of the house. And I lived there until she died. She died in her home; I was there when she died. I knew her really well.
What kind of grandmother was she?
She was a combination of very strong and very protective, but a strong character. She had a mystery around her, because she was a very private person, although she was very public and very social. She also had a secret side to her, a private, personal side to her, which nobody really knows. In fact, I'm about to do a book on that side of her because there's a very private, secret woman there. All you see is the fabulous artist that she was, but the personal side of my grandmother is a mystery, and I'm the only person who can really talk about that.
I noticed that in her autobiography [Shocking Life] she really didn't mention your grandfather at all.
No, she doesn't. She didn't divulge her private life at all … She only showed people the side that she wanted to show, and she didn't talk about her private life, ever — not with the press, not with her family. I discovered things later on, through letters and various things that I'm putting together. I think great artists are quite introverted with a lot going on inside, which they don't always quite express in words, but they express in their art. And she was very creative and had a lot of humour, and she was a surrealistic artist in fashion, really. She was more than just a designer — she was a surrealist, which is why she's in the museums next to Dalí and Cocteau and all her friends.
Were you aware of her work when you were young?
She did design the last things for us — for my sister and I. When she closed the couture house, the last dresses that she made, really, were our party dresses that were on the cover of Elle magazine. And then a little coat that I had, a shocking-pink tweed coat. She continued to do her thing in America, so she used to go to New York once or twice a year for that. But she wasn't active in designing anymore, so she never really spoke about it that much. So I think it was quite painful for her, too.
She went through so much — she was such an adventurer. Is there anything that you've discovered about her that you can mention now?
No, I'm keeping it all for my little book. I want to do a little private book about her with all the things I haven't told.
What is your mother like? Is she interested in fashion? Is she similar to your grandmother?
No, they were completely different. My mother's not interested in fashion at all. I think, as a reaction to having a mother like that, she always wanted to dress her up in things that she didn't feel were her style. My mother has her own style, though, and she's very elegant, and she's very much an original person as well. She's still alive, she's 92. She doesn't look like my grandmother, and she has a different personality. I mean, my mother has a lot of humour and is amusing — not that my grandmother wasn't, but she was very Italian. She had a very Italian personality — a bigger-than-life kind of personality! My mother has kind of a more… I don't even know how to describe it. She married my father, lived in America, and then sort of moved around the world because daddy was a diplomat. So she's very international and a cultured woman and very amusing, you know?
Diana Vreeland discovered you. She was amazing woman.
Yes, really amazing. She took on the role of being a godmother to me. I had a great relationship with her, and we adored each other. She really protected me and understood, and sort of answered questions that I needed answered — even about my grandmother. She knew her well. She taught me a lot, and was very open to me about life. I kind of went to her when I needed advice. She was very much there for me in that way, and she protected me. She discovered me and I was her baby, kind of. She knew my family really well, and she'd seen me grow, but she knew me when I was a child, and adored my father and knew my grandmother, and she sort of rediscovered me when I became a young woman. And that's when she decided that I was going to be in Vogue.
And your grandmother didn't want you to be in fashion, did she?
No, she wasn't happy with the fact that Diana took that position. My grandmother was quite protective. She had gone through a lot of difficult things in her life, I'm sure, being a single working woman and having a career, especially in her day and age. Then she saw me taking the same route … She wanted me to be protected in life and she wanted me to settle down and marry a man from a very good family. I was not into that at all. I just wanted freedom — I was quite like her! In fact, I inherited a lot of her free spirit and strength and her want of independence and her want of a career, but in a totally different vein. I think she saw all of that in me, and she said, "Oh my God. I've gone through all of this in my life, and I don't want my granddaughter to suffer the same things."
Is it true that she and Diana had a little bit of a falling out over it?
Yeah, they did, because she didn't approve and she didn't want me in that world, in that life, and she thought that Diana wasn't a great influence on me, obviously.
Was that awkward for you, being in the middle of that?
No. I didn't really get into that whole thing.
You've spent quite a bit of time working for Vogue. Was Diana a fierce editor?
Yes, she was. Well, she was severe in the sense that she imposed things and knew what she wanted and had very strong ideas and a strong personality. But she was also extremely open to people and to creativity. She loved young people. She loved attractive people of all sorts. She literally created all of that. So many people can thank Diana for discovering them or making them who they were. Diana was just such an extravagant, extraordinary person. I mean she could make the most banal thing sound like the most fascinating thing in your life. She had that gift: a certain way of looking at life, a positive attitude about life — everything was just extraordinary in her eyes.
She obviously had that sense of independence that your grandmother had as well, but she also had the family, although I know she wasn't the most present mother. But she had her husband, Reed, with her the whole time. What was your sense of their relationship?
She adored him. He was so adoring of her! I always remember having lunch with my parents in New York on a Saturday with her and Reed. He would be there before her (obviously) and she would be at the office and [then] join us. And he would order her the little lamb chop, well done, with the spinach by the side and her little glass of vodka that she always drank, and then he would put a red rose by her plate. He was so loving and caring, and she adored him. She was — like my grandmother — this very independent, strong woman who had a career. You know, there are different ways of being a mother and being nurturing. She wasn't. She was an independent, but she [still] adored her family.
Diana worked at The Costume Institute until her well into her eighties, didn't she?
Oh yes, until she lost her eyesight, and then couldn't work anymore. And she established — well, the Met today has become an institute, thanks to Diana. She never stopped creating, and she had an amazing curiosity and love of life. She never complained. When they got rid of her at Condé Nast, she just moved on.
Do you think if your grandmother were alive today she'd be more approving of the path you took?
I think she'd be proud of me. I'd love for her to be still alive, actually. It would be wonderful, because when you're younger, you're not conscious of the things that one becomes conscious of along the way afterwards. You don't have the same conversations with your parents as when you do when you're young. So, yeah, I would love for her to be still alive … I'd have conversations with her and I think she'd be proud.

Speaker Topics:
Eye Contact in Social Interaction: The eyes often are considered "windows to the soul." However, aside from the question of whether there is "a soul," it's debatable whether such claims should be considered a misattribution. Furthermore, even if the eyes are important in social interaction, it's not clear which measures of eye contact are the most valid when it comes to addressing these questions. Our research over the past three to four years has attempted to empirically address these concerns.

Let's end the discrimination against the English
If you live in Wales, you children won't pay for University tuition fees like English students will, similarly you won't pay for prescriptions and I, as an English license fee payer will see certain services that I enjoy on the BBC cut in order to fund your Welsh language channel (which most Welsh people watch).
If you live in Scotland, you too won't see your kids paying the tuition fees my children will pay, whilst your government provides more doctors and access to services which we in England don't get.
Northern Irish people apparently pay no water bills, I was shocked to hear this week, whilst again, your devolved government ensure that Northern Irish people received benefits we in England do not get.
Now there will be those who will jump in and immediately see what I am writing as an attack on the Northern Irish, the Scots and Welsh. It is not. What I am doing is pointing out that it is the English who are more highly taxed but receive the least back. We are the discriminated against majority.
Let's see the Lib Dems in government tackle this in the same was as the party has become obsessed with stopping control orders on potential terrorist suspects.
Perhaps the obvious answer to this is that we need and English parliament.

Two points: 1. Wales pays its way. The budget of the Welsh Assembly is less than the amount raised in taxes in Wales. 2. If England want all of these things then they should vote for them and introduce them. It is not the fault of the Welsh, Scots or Northern Irish that the English Government has made different choices.

We DO NOT have an English government. That is my point. I am shocked that a Welsh Assembly member could come back with such a response.
I even stated that I don't begrudge the Welsh, Irish, Scots, etc, what they have. What annoys me is the democratic deficit the English have.
By the way, when it comes to payign taxes, do you include the costs of Defence, embassies, etc, or are they costs English tax payers have to carry ?

"Northern Irish people apparently pay no water bills"
So what are the charges shown at http://www.niwater.com/watercharges.asp ?

I have no idea, but both ITV and BBC reported re NI Water that in NI, people do not get charged for water as this is paid by local authorities.

I have long been in favour of a bi-cameral system comprising national parliaments alongside the House of Commons.

You have Ministers with entirely English portfolios and a UK Government responsible for English issues so it is close enough. However, if that is not good enough then you should change it. It is not for me to say how. The democratic deficit is in your hands so dont go blaming the Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish for it.
My point about taxation refers to devolved matters. The cost of funding devolved issues is met by Welsh taxes. The non-devolved matters are paid for by UK taxes as they are UK matters.

What a total fool you are. Let me repeat the point I made in my original posting, which you obvious failed to read.
"Now there will be those who will jump in and immediately see what I am writing as an attack on the Northern Irish, the Scots and Welsh. It is not. What I am doing is pointing out that it is the English who are more highly taxed but receive the least back."
Unlike you , I am not a "race to the bottom" sort of person, I don't want Wales or Scotland to be dragged down to our level, quiet the reverse.
Again, you mistake having ministers responsible for English decisions with having an English Parliament, These are patently different things, but you are unable to discern the difference.
What a fool.

Its the way that devolved politicians always behave. Mr Black has highlighted it again.
It a 'you can have it if you want it response which fails to comprehend that the English cannot have it because of the system.
Mr Black would have made himself out to be liberal if he had backed Nick's view that English people are suffering compared to the rest of the UK. Instead, he underlines why the LibDem Party is no longer a home for liberal minded people.

I believe that NI water charges or the lack of them was part of the Good Friday Agreement.
I was once told that part of the GF agreement also included no English Parliament,but I would not know for sure.

The fault lies with the BRITISH Government which is full of anti-English MPs from English constituencies. These MPs collaborate with BRITISH government to ensure that it spends far less per head on the domestic matters such as education and health than the devolved national administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Even though the grants to the devolved administrations may be decreased just watch where most of the sell offs and local taxes will fall to bolster the finances of the BRITISH government.
The Campaign for an English Parliament will be calling MPs to account, including the 109 unprincipled MPs from outside England who used their legal but undemocratic right to vote on tuition fees. These MPs are unaccountable to the electorate in England that is affected. Join us now! We are a cross party organisation set up to lobby and inform. www.thecep.org.uk
- 04 January, 2011 10:20
YES! to an English Parliament,the English have no voice,has any of this shower of MPs stood in the Commons and said "I am an English MP so I speak for England?" I think they have made it illegal to mention England.
- 04 January, 2011 10:22
Peter Black claimed "You have Ministers with entirely English portfolios and a UK Government responsible for English issues so it is close enough."
NO, that is NOT "close enough"! How would you like it if English people went and sat in the Welsh assembly and forced the legislation they wanted on the Welsh against the wishes of the majority of Welsh representatives? Would you smugly tell the Welsh that that was "close enough" to democratic accountability? This has been done to England! And if we do have an "English government" as you previously claimed, why are there people for whom no one in England voted, who represent no one in England, sitting in the parliament from which the government is drawn? Why were there ministers from outside England in the "English government"? To whom did they owe their allegiance – England, the UK, or Scotland? Never forget, we had individuals in your supposed "English government" who had made a public pledge that in all their actions the interests of the Scots would be paramount! "English government" indeed! What nonsense!
- 04 January, 2011 10:26
Your point is spot on, Norfolk blogger. The problem in England is that, when Blair and Dewar created devolution for Scotland in order to 'dish' the SNP and included Wales (though less evenhandedly),they failed to carry through the consequences at Westminster, e.g. by providing that MPs from the devolved nations should not vote on purely English legislation (the West Lothian Question). Had they done so, top up tuition fees would have been rejected as the English voted against. However, there was no adjustment at Westminister because Blair's govt had other plans for England -dismemberment through the creation of 9 regional assemblies, with less powers than the NAWA and so subservient to the UK Govt. Regionalisation was rejected by the people of the North East but the Labour party did not then return to fix the WLQ - because it would still like to dismember England if the English are not on their guard.

Blimey. Peter Black's comments sort of sums it all up really doesn't it? Crass ignorance and abject complacency hardly describes his bizarre 'we're alright Jack' conclusions...
If this is the best that a member of a devolved body can come up with, it's no damned wonder the UK is the basketcase it is.
The sooner England rises and declares total independence the better. The UK is finished - good riddance to bad rubbish...
(and no Peter mate, Westminster ain't an English Parliament - have a butchers at any schoolboy history book - I think you'll find the EP ceased to be in 1707)...

It's not wonder Nich you read as being jarred off with the Lib Dems if Peter Black is the type of person you have to put up with.
He obviously didn't read what you wrote and the comments he made were not clever.

Why do you use the term English? Any Scots Welsh or Northern Irish living in England are subject to the same discrimination as the English.
Any English living in Scotland, Wales etc receive the benefits of living in a devolved country.
Surely you mean citizens of England
If you want to stop discrimination against the English then how about highlighting the THOUSANDS of BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) groups that exist which give preferential treatment to any Black and minority groups.
Is the housing federation racist?
If not then why do we need a Black housing federation?
There are thousands of such discriminatory groups.
Its amazing that people can stand up and oppose discrimination against England whilst ignoring the discrimination against the English.
Whatever your ethnicity we should all be treated equally.
As for the English parliament Im all for it.
Lets see how Wales and Mr Black funds his non devolved UK policies when England decides it will spend its revenues only on England.
Wales and Scotland both have nationalist parties slowly taking over power in their nationalist parliaments, the same will happen in an English parliament which represents the citizens of England and to hell with Scotland and Wales.
- 05 January, 2011 00:15
I am appalled that a man as ignorant of constitutional affairs and even a plain everyday democratic deficit is helping to run England. No wonder we are in such a state.
Westminster (NOT the English Parliament – just English buildings!), goes to war in the name of democracy yet preside over a huge democratic deficit within the Union over which they directly preside. And that includes YOU Mr. Black. Shame on you for such ignorance!

If only you were representing the majoriry of your Party, I would not hesitate to vote for you and shout about it from the hills.
Thank you for sticking your neck out. You make a fair argument and suffer the usual nonsensical vitriol from the neighbours in response. It is par for the course, I'm sorry to say.
- 05 January, 2011 10:47
The last thing we need is an English Parliament, blimey! England is about 85% of the UK in population so a single parliament for England is going to be so similar to the House of Commons that it would be a pointless duplication.
No, what we need is regional parliaments - about 8 or so across England. And parliaments which all have the same tax-raising and other power so that the English regions, the Welsh/Scots etc are all on a level footing.
Further to that, we should also do what has been done in Scotland and make all local authorities unitary. We wouldn't need district councils *and* county councils *and* a parliament. The counties would be redundant.
- 05 January, 2011 13:45
Devolution has shown that fairness is an English characteristic, not a British one.
The worst enemies of the English are the British and it is British MPs that have ensured that the English receive the worst of everything, while still paying for the benefits the rest of the ridiculously named United Kingdom receive, that are denied to the English.
The only reason British MPs oppose an English Parliament is because one would make them all redundant, just as the Scottish Parliament has made them pointless in Scotland.
Time for each nation to have its won fiscally autonomous parliament, so we can see who is really paying their way.
- 05 January, 2011 14:08
Michael Kilpatrick, there is no way eight English "regions" could all have assemblies equal with those of the Scottish Parliament, so your suggestion is a non-starter. Besides, if England should be divided into regions, why not divide Scotland and Wales into regions? It is unacceptable to give Scotland its own parliament because, in Blair's words, it is a "proud, historic nation", while denying the same rights to another proud, historic nation. No, the only answer to the current mess is an English Parliament with powers at least equal to those of the Scottish Parliament. Anything less is discriminatory.
- 05 January, 2011 15:12
What you forget is the fact that because the Scots and Welsh do not pay tuition fees, their universities are being underfunded meaning that in the future, the best universities will be in England.
Of course they'll be blaming the English when that happens.
- 05 January, 2011 17:24
What a weak reason not to allow England its own parliament. Yet again double standards are argued as the only way England should be governed.
Labour have only allowed one of your EU regions to vote on a regional assembly and the NO VOTE was overwhelming. In fact it was so overwhelmingly against regional assemblies that Labour abandoned any further referendums.
British anglophobic democracy in action.
England have never had the opportunity to vote on an English parliament yet the Scots and Welsh have had two.
Yet more double standards for England.
The reason people oppose an English parliament is that once England gets its parliament then that will signel the end of preferential treatment for Scotland and Wales.
It will also see many of those Unionist politicians out of work.
Good riddence to them.
A parliament for England will see an end to the unfair barnett formula and then Scotland and Wales will have to learn to live according to thier revenues and not to what they can plunder from the people of England
- 05 January, 2011 17:35
Michael Kilpatrick why stop there? Why not have 16 English regional assemblies, 3 Scottish regional assemblies and 2 Welsh regional assemblies? The case for Wales having a North Wales Assembly (Welsh speaking) and a South Wales (English speaking) Assembly is surely overwhelming? Get rid of the Cardiff Welsh Assembly. Similary get rid of Holyrood and have 3 Scottish regional Assemblies. One probably being gaelic speaking.
All with the powers of the now defunct Scottish Parliament.
Can you imagine that? Free prescriptions, tuition fees, elderly care costs paid in some regions not in others etc.etc. What a post code lottery we would have with 21 regional assemblies plus N.Irelnd all making their own decisions.
Different rates of income tax in these regions of yours. I bet HMRC would love that one!
- 06 January, 2011 09:17
Peter Black would you say that Gordon Brown's government was an English Government? He represented a Scottish constituency while he was British PM and de facto English First Minister.
What a democratic outrage it is that England is ruled by the British.
England does want out of the disunited kingdom.
I note your comments about taxes raised in Wales. That's OK then Wales will do very nicely as an independent nation.
I look forward to the day when passports need to be shown at the English Welsh border in the same way that they are shown when people enter England from France or any other foreign country.
- 06 January, 2011 09:24
Anonymous said "there is no way eight English regions could all have assemblies equal with those of the Scottish Parliament, so your suggestion is a non-starter."
That's a completely unqualified comment. You're just stating a meaningless opinion - you haven't justified in any economic, social or other sense what is such a "non-starter" about the suggestion.
Furthermore, forget any nonsense about "proud, historic nations". The practicality of the matter is that England is too large a part of the UK for a single English parliament to make any sense. It would not belittle Scotland as a nation for "mere regions" of England to be granted equal status, nor would it belittle England as a country for it not to have a single parliament of its own.
- 06 January, 2011 13:13
"Home Rule for England" said: Why not have 16 English regional assemblies...
Obviously, given that Yorkshire, for example, is recognised as a cultural and historic identity and has approx 5 million people in it, and given that greater London has a population in the region of 8 million (or something?) it's very clear that if you are going to apply any sort of consistency of scale within English devolution, you'd be hard pressed to come up with a solution that had more than 8 or 9 regions without having silly boundaries that subdivided any of the significant cities or historical regions of the country, and without having silly little "rump regions" with hardly any population.
As for different rates of tax, it's a doddle. If the HMRC know your postcode, that's all there is to it. I don't think HMRC would either "love it" or "hate it". They would just get on and do it.
After all, in the USA they seem to manage with different local income taxes and sales taxes from state to state. What's the big deal? And they have 50 "regions", not just 10 or 20.
- 06 January, 2011 13:39
Home Rule for England,
Well said mate, why should England have two, three, four or twenty assemblies or parliaments.
Scotland has one
Wales has one.
Northern Ireland has one
Therefore England should have one.
Unless Mr Kilpatrick can give a good reason why England cannot have one parliament then i assume he has another agenda.
I believe the likes of Mr Kilpatrick wants a divided England with region fighting region.
Not a united England under one parliament governing England for the benefit of England.
At the moment England is governed by a British parliament for the benefit of Britain.
Scotland governed by Scotland for the benefit of Scotland
Wales governed by Wales for the benefit of Wales.
Mr Kilpatrick is aware that an England governed by England for the benefit of England will see those other countries suddenly having to give up many of the benefits they now enjoy at our expense.
However that is not the argument here.
If it is good enough for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland then Mr Kilpatrick needs to tell us why it is not good enough for England.
Why cant England have an English parliament Mr Kilpatrick, and if the answer is it can then what is your reason for arguing against it.
- 07 January, 2011 00:29
"What I am doing is pointing out that it is the English who are more highly taxed ..."
In what sense are the English 'more highly taxed'? We have a unified UK tax system. If the tax take in England as a whole is higher per capita than the rest of the UK, isn't this a reflection of the inequalities that stem from an over-dominant South-east of England?
- 07 January, 2011 12:30
Michael Kilpatrick you say that 'the practicality of the matter is that England is too large a part of the UK for a single English parliament to make any sense'.
The answer to that of course is for England to declare independence and leave the UK.

Andy says "Unless Mr Kilpatrick can give a good reason why England cannot have one parliament then I assume he has another agenda."
Uh? What's this "agenda" you are imagining? I've already explained why I think I separate English Parliament would be a silly idea. Read my earlier responses.
Andy says: "I believe the likes of Mr Kilpatrick wants a divided England with region fighting region."
Erm, what's this emotive twaddle about "divided", as though we were pitting regions against each other in order to let England be enslaved by the marauding Huns whilst we argue amongst ourselves about the price of beans? Blimey, get a grip. Have you heard of diversity, or healthy competition? There is no competition between different ideas of social and economic management within England thanks to its monolithic govt structure. Yet England is a large and diverse country. Why do you think that people in either Cornwall or East Anglia actually have more in common *beyond their national identity* with people from Northumberland than those same Northumbrians do with their nearest neighbours over the Scottish border? [Which were originally part of the Kingdom of Northumbria anyway]
Why shouldn't East Anglia have free prescription charges yet the West Midlands decide not to? In what sense does this actually "divide" England?
Andy says "tell us why it is not good enough for England":
As I said before, England is 85% of the UK. An English Parliament is going to have such a similar power centre, make-up, entrenched national party politics, as the UK parliament that there will be little difference. What is the point, other than satisfying nationalism? What would actually *change* in the way we manage our affairs? Sod all, I think.
Now, if you think what I'm saying about the need for regional English devolution being far more beneficial than English national devolution somehow belittles England as a nation then you just have some sort of nationalist paranoia which someone from any of the mature and stable countries of England, Wales and Scotland simply shouldn't have.
Lastly, I wonder what the answer would be if you asked a large number of Yorkshiremen to rank these three terms in order of relevance (a) British citizen (b) Englishman (c) Yorkshireman

The difference would be no Scottish Welsh or Northern Irish MPs.
The difference would be an English parliament representing England for the benefit of the people of England.
As for competition if its competition you want then lets have the competition between England Scotland Northern Ireland and Wales rather then your English regions.
On one hand you claim my assumption your agenda is to get your English regions competitng with one another as 'twaddle' then in the next breath your defending getting them competing with each other as healthy.
In that case it will be healthy for England to compete with Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland.
As for your Yorkshire man we could do the same in Scotland, or Wales.
I know lets have a parliament for every county.
Your argument for denying England a single parliament is weak.
England had its own parliament before 1707 and the country hadnt fallen apart.
In fact we were heading towards building a successful English empire.
- 09 January, 2011 03:19
The solution to our dissagreement is simple.
Give England a referendum.
Three choices,
1. Continue as we are
2. Implement 6 regional assemblies
3. An English parliament
Scotland and Wales have both had their referendum yet England has been denied a choice.
Oh! except for the so called North East region (I think it was) who voted overwhelmingly AGAINST being given a regional assembly.
We supposedly live in a democracy, so surely you havent a problem with letting the people of England decide how they are governed.
Just as Scotland and Wales were allowed their voice.
I am prepared to give the people a say, are you.
- 09 January, 2011 11:48
Andy says: "On one hand you claim my assumption your agenda is to get your English regions competitng with one another as 'twaddle' then in the next breath your defending getting them competing with each other as healthy."
You're misquoting yourself! You clearly said "fighting" the first time round. The "competition" I was referring to was nothing to do with fighting (for bigger slices of the same pie, perhaps?) but to do with diversity and competing with ideas for social and economic management within a level playing-field of regions/countries/provinces/whatever.
Our countries and regions already "fight" against each other economically when it comes to pitching for important development grants from the UK govt or from the EU, or for important projects of large economic value.
Furthermore, if the UK were divided into just its 4 countries or instead into more numerous and smaller regions, if we work on a level playing-field then each division would presumably get its fair share of the national pie it obviously implies that the sum of all the English regions would equally be fair. So in what way would any individual Englishman be at a disadvantage to a Scotsman?
Andy says: "Oh, North East region...voted overwhelmingly AGAINST being given a regional assembly".
I hardly think it fair that the North East of England should to decide that the South West shouldn't be given an assembly, or even a referendum on the matter.
Andy says "Your argument for denying England a single parliament is weak.
England had its own parliament before 1707 and the country hadnt fallen apart."
What a complete non sequitur. What happened before the Union is off little bearing. It's hardly as if we had much direct democracy before 1707, and it's hardly as if we didn't have any civil wars not long before that...
- 09 January, 2011 16:46
Micael said

It wouldnt have, because of this first and only referendum in England, Labour knowing the answer it would get from the rest of England cancelled its already planned referendum for other regions.
So do you agree then that England should get a referendum on the three options given.

Yeovil beat Northampton 1-0 in the relevant League One match tonight.
The result pushes the Glovers up to 16th on 45 points, and puts the Cobblers into the relegation zone on 42 points. Crewe, Carlisle, and Hartlepool are directly above on 43 points.
In the other two matches Huddersfield beat Bristol Rovers 2-1, and Colchester won 1-0 at Millwall. The two victorious sides move up into the top half of the table, but are both 10 points adrift of the play-offs.
In League Two Luton's unlikely survival became a little more unlikely after a 4-2 home loss to Rotherham, leaving them eleven points short with only eighteen left on the table, while Exeter cemented a play-off spot with a 1-0 win over Port Vale in a match that saw ex-Bull Stuart Fleetwood partner Adam Stansfield from the start - their first start together since the Bulls won a match at Canvey Island in the Conference.

1993 Mount Mary Pinot Noir

- Closure: Cork
Mount Mary wines in the Yarra Valley, are regarded as amongst Australia's very best. The vineyard is situated on northern, well drained slopes, and historically has been regarded as an exceptional site. Established in the early 1970's by Dr John Middleton and his wife Marli, the reputation of Mount Mary has spread well beyond the shores of Australia with serious wine collectors world wide snapping up any stocks that happen to find their way onto the markets.
For the last decade, Dr John Middleton has been assisted by winemaker and viticulturist, Mario Marson, and together they have produced a collection of wines that are truly formidable. Middleton is approaching his mid 70's, consequently much of the responsibility of winemaking has been shifted to Mario Marson. Marson, while largely unknown outside of the winemaking community must be regarded as Australia's greatest shadow winemaker.
The Mount Mary Pinot Noirs are regarded amongst the country's finest and positioned along side Bass Phillip, Stoniers, Springvale and New Zealand's Ata Rangi, Martinborough and Felton Road.
