Federer and Djokovic to clash for ATP World Tour Finals
Djokovic defeated longtime rival Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-3 earlier on Saturday in the other semi-final. Federer holds a slight 22-21 edge in their ATP Head to Head meetings, having defeated the Serb this week in Group Stan Smith play 7-5, 6-2.
"It's the same conditions, same court, same place," said Federer of his re-match with the top-ranked Djokovic. "For me, it's an advantage because I guess it gives me a bit of confidence. For him, it's an advantage because he gets a second chance, and he's in another final. He's played some great tennis since we've played. I still believe his confidence is slightly higher than mine with the amount of success he's had this year."
The last time a player avenged a loss in round-robin play with a victory in the final was back in 2005, when Argentine David Nalbandian fell to Federer 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, then came back to defeat the Swiss for the title 6-7(4), 6-7(11), 6-2, 6-1, 7-6(3).
In a re-match of the 2014 semi-finals, the bearded Federer held his serve at love to open the match, but was broken in the fifth game as Wawrinka moved ahead 3-2. But a loose service game from the 30-year-old Swiss allowed Federer back in the set at 4-all. Another break with his opponent serving at 5-6 would give Federer a one-set lead.
''Roger has the perfect game against my game,'' said Wawrinka. ''If you look today, it's not that I play really bad. I'm not tough enough mentally with myself, I'm not completely there.
"The year was amazing," said Wawrinka. "I didn't expect to play that well, to be here tonight, honestly, being No. 4, winning a Grand Slam, semi-finals here again. I couldn't expect more. I won two titles for the first time in my career - one of them the French Open, beating the No. 1 player. I made the semi-finals at the US Open, Australian Open; quarter-finals at Wimbledon. I was quite consistent at the highest level. I beat so many top guys. The year, it was amazing for me."

Federer to play Stuttgart tournament through 2017
Federer beats Nishikori in 3 sets
Federer, who had already qualified for the semi-finals, finishes round-robin play with a 3-0 record and now prepares for a semi-final against the runner-up of Group Ilie Nastase, Andy Murray or Stan Wawrinka.
I enjoyed the match," said Federer. "It wasn't easy, but somehow I got it done. I look forward to playing him hopefully more often in the future."
Third seed Federer broke eighth seed Nishikori for a 3-1 lead, but the Japanese star regrouped to win three straight games. Nishikori came within two points of taking a 5-3 lead, but Federer fought hard and lost just three of the next 12 points to take the 48-minute opener. Federer hit 12 winners.
Federer looked set to triumph in straight sets, when he led 4-1, but Nishikori produced a spirited fight back to break serve in the seventh and ninth games. Nishikori calmly closed out to 15, when Federer mis-timed a forehand drop shot into the net. Two of their previous five meetings had gone to three sets.
Federer dug himself out of a hole at 1-1, 0/40 in the decider, when Nishikori's forehand pierced his defence in lengthy baseline rallies. The mental battle appeared to be won, as Federer ran through the next two games for a 4-1 lead. But Nishikori was not a spent force, getting back to 4-4 to ensure a tense ending for the capacity crowd at The O2 in London.
While Federer held to love for 5-4, a double fault and forehand error from Nishikori proved to be costly. Federer struck his 33rd and final winner, a smash, to wrap up the win.
"It's amazing what Kei is able to produce on the court," said Federer. "Today, was another showcase of that, how he's able to return second serves, staying on top of the baseline, drilling forehands and backhands up the line. It was impressive."
Federer has now gone 3-0 in group play on nine occasions and has reached the semi-finals on 13 of his 14 appearances.
"I thought I was playing very good," said Nishikori. "I was making lot of returns. Second serve, I think I was attacking really well. I think that's why I able to break that much. But I didn't start each set well. I think every time he broke first and I was kind of defensive all the time. That was my big mistake today. I mean, in end really close game. I think just couple points that I didn't play quite well enough. But, yeah, it is a shame to lose like this. I thought I was playing well, so congrats to Roger."
Federer has a 62-10 match record on the year, including six titles. Nishikori, appearing at the season finale for the second straight year, finishes 2015 with a 54-16 mark and three titles.

Roger Federer still improving at 34
As Federer explained, "You can be stubborn and successful or you can give it up a bit and change things around. I think you need to challenge yourself and try out new things, maybe where you practise, how you practise, who you practise with, the advice you receive sometimes, equipment, you name it, maybe a grip, maybe a string, maybe racquet technology. Everything keeps evolving and changing."
The benefits that come along with that openness to change were on display at the ATP World Tour Finals on Tuesday, when after four losses in six matches against World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in 2015, Federer reversed the trend, downing his longtime rival in straight sets 7-5, 6-2.
Djokovic hadn't lost a match in his previous 23 outings, a dominant stretch that included consecutive titles at the US Open, Beijing, Shanghai and Paris.
"I think a tennis player never stops working on his game," said Federer after the win. "Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to practise - a lot of match play, a lot of resting, a lot of preparing. In a perfect world, it would be great to have many more months to prepare, because you then could actually come back and be sort of a different player. Of course, it's our decision to take that time, but it's hard to sit on the sidelines for months when other guys are winning tournaments and your ranking is dropping in the process.
"I won't say I regret doing it," confided Fededer, looking back on his title-filled career on the ATP World Tour, "but I wish I could have taken even more time to train on my game."
So in between events - he has played 17 in 2015 - he dabbles, he tweaks, he adds to his game, never quite satisfied with the status quo.
"I think in the last couple years since I changed my racquet, that gave me a totally different approach on how I can return, how I can serve, what I can do," he explained. "It was about keeping my forehand and my slice up to a standard which I liked. And naturally the backhand and the serve improved because of the easier power I received from my racquet. Of course, then tactical elements come into play more and more. The experience helps. The experience can also hinder you sometimes because of playing too much percentage tennis. I still feel like I'm young in the mind and I don't shy away from trying new things. That's what keeps it still interesting for me."
Federer and Djokovic have now played 43 times, their ATP Head to Head history tracing all the way back to 2006. For now, it's the Swiss who holds a slight 22-21 edge. But don't hold your breath if you're waiting on some complacency. He knows all too well how dangerous a player Djokovic can be.
"I know it's a big win. Could help me for what's to come in this tournament, or at least for the next match it's going to give me a lot of confidence. It's going to help me for next year. It's always good beating Novak or any top player.
"To me, Novak is still the favorite of the tournament," Federer explained. "He should make his way to the semis somehow. And he'll be the favourite in that probably, too, with the year he's had. He's far from gone. The way I know Novak, he's going to find a way to be tougher to beat from now on."

Federer defeats Djokovic in straight sets
Federer's straight-sets victory, coupled with Kei Nishikori's three-set 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 decision over Tomas Berdych, means he has qualified for the Group Stan Smith semi-finals. The Swiss broke their ATP Head to Head deadlock and moved ahead 22-21 with the victory. Djokovic, who tied the series with a four-set win in the 2015 US Open final, has never had more victories than Federer in their rivalry, which dates back to Monte Carlo Masters in 2006.
"Winning the first set clearly in a match like this gives you the upper hand," said Federer, at 34 the oldest player to qualify for the year-end finale since Andre Agassi (35) in 2005. "It was important to strike again as quick as possible in the second set, and I did."
"You have those days as well when you're not feeling your best - not even close to the best," said Djokovic, the reigning three-time champion. "Credit to Roger for mixing up the pace, giving me always a different ball. He used the slice and spin very wisely. He served very efficiently. I made a lot of unforced errors [22]. Just handed him the win, especially in the second set. If you play this way against Roger, you have no chance.
"But, again, that's sport," Djokovic added. "Sometimes these kind of matches, these kind of days happen. The good thing is that it's a round-robin system, so I still have an opportunity to reach the semis."
"I didn't think I mixed it up that crazy, to be honest," Federer asserted. "I didn't play any insane tactics. It was pretty straightforward, in a way I've played him many times in the past. My game is to mix it up, change up the spins. His game is to press you away. I think we both played our regular game, and it was a good outcome for me tonight."
Reacting to Djokovic's claim that he handed him the win, Federer said: "He handed me the win? Well, he wasn't as good as in the first set. But I feel, honestly, with the way he's played this season, you still have to put him away. It's not like he played terrible. I know he can play better. Why did he play that way? I'd like to give myself credit for that, quite honestly, yeah."
Federer won 75 per cent (27 of 36) of his first-serve points, and converted four of eight break-point opportunities.
Djokovic had been riding a 23-match win streak since falling to Federer in the Cincinnati final on Aug. 23. He had won 15 straight matches at the ATP World Tour Finals, including wins over Federer in 2012, 2013 and 2014 (walkover).
The rivals have met more times (43) than any other two players in the Open Era with the exception of Djokovic and Rafael Nadal (45). The pair's respective coaches, Hall of Famers Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker, played 35 times.

Federer receives Fans Favourite and Sportsmanship Awards
"I enjoy getting awards, especially the ones voted on by the fans and my fellow players," said Federer. "It's a very nice moment once again in my career. I try to do it with style and of course I play hard with everything. You guys give it the respect and it's very nice. Many other players deserve the awards as well and I'm very much aware that there are many other good guys out there. That's why I'm still playing the game.
"I'd like to thank the fans for voting and cheering for me, and coming out not just for my matches. Keep doing that in the future. This is one of the greatest tournaments we have on tour and I hope you enjoy today's matches and I see you next year and following year and the following year and many more years."
Following his straight-set win over World No. 6 Tomas Berdych, Federer's coach and childhood idol Stefan Edberg stepped onto the court at The O2 to present the Swiss with the trophy named in his honour, the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award. Federer had been voted by fellow players as the winner for an 11th season, and received the trophy from Edberg himself for the second year in a row. Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer and Kevin Anderson were also nominated in this category.
Chris Kermode, ATP Executive Chairman and President then presented Federer with the trophy as ATPWorldTour.com Fans' Favourite. He received 65 per cent of all votes cast online by fans, extending his record winning streak to a 13th straight year. Rafael Nadal finished in second, followed by Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Kei Nishikori.
Since 2003, Federer has won a record 31 ATP World Tour Awards.

Federer battles past Berdych in London
Federer claimed his 49th match win at the season finale, which he is competing at for a record 14th consecutive year. He will next face top seed Novak Djokovic in a clash between Sunday's Group Stan Smith winners.
Berdych won seven of the first eight points to take a 2-0 lead, before Federer regrouped to work his way back into their 21st meeting. The Swiss broke Berdych to love, then could not convert two break point opportunities in the fifth game. Berdych dropped his serve to love in the ninth game and Federer calmly closed out the opener 6-4.
"Clearly it was not the best start," said Federer. "It was a bad start. One of the worst starts I've had in years. No first serves, two double faults, nothing coming from the baseline. It was rough."
The World No. 3 kept his foot on the gas in the second set, breaking immediately for 1-0 and once again in the third game. He countered the Czech's aggressive start with an attacking finish of his own, closing out the win after 70 minutes. Federer struck a jaw-dropping eight drop shot winners and converted four of six break chances.
"Thankfully I was able to pick it up. The surface does play slow here. If you get to see too many second serves, clearly you can crawl back into the match. You can get your chances from the baseline to find rhythm quickly.
"It's hard to blast through an opponent here in London, which I think helps for me now against Berdych in this case because I can make the match athletic. As the match went on, I definitely started to play better, started to serve better. I think what I underestimated a little bit in some ways was that it was a first round. I think I was playing very well in practice. I had a very good idea with Severin and Stefan how I should play the match.
"It was a good lesson for me to learn. But now I'm in the second round, so that's a good thing."
Federer completed his fourth consecutive match win over Berdych, extending his overall record to 15-6 in the ATP Head to Head. He is 3-0 in 2015, adding to victories at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells and Rome.

Federer motivated for strong finish in London
"I haven't had issues being motivated for this tournament," said Federer. "I looked forward to it and as it was a priority I played better.
"The idea of playing fellow Top 10 rivals gets me going, gets me really excited. I don't relax on making it to the Finals, then go out and lose three crushing defeats. I don't want to finish the year that way.
The Swiss begins his quest for a seventh title at the ATP World Tour Finals against Tomas Berdych on Sunday night in Group Stan Smith. Novak Djokovic and Kei Nishikori are also in the round robin group.
"All the players that are here have achieved the goal," added Federer. "It is a big goal to be here, the atmosphere is great. It is prestigious, one of the best events."
Federer has a 59-10 match record on the season, including six titles. He became the third player in ATP World Tour history (after Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl) to record 1,000 match wins in January.

Federer loses to big-serving Isner in Paris Masters
"I think he serves consistent throughout the year," said Federer. "I think with him it's more can he serve big when he really needs it the most. Does indoors maybe help him there a little bit? Potentially. He's got the size, got the power, got the angles. I thought he did very well today when he needed it. The breakers, he served great. Those are the ones he needed. That was the difference."
Federer went down despite claiming the lone service break of the match, midway through the second set. The third-seeded Swiss struck 13 aces and saved all six break points faced, but misfired on a forehand to drop the first set and was on the receiving end of an unplayable 145 miles per hour Isner serve on the final point of the match.
"If you know me, you know that that's my favorite serve," said Isner about his play selection on match point. "It's sort of one of those things, a lot of people know I'm going there. Catch it if you can. It's like a pitcher with a fast ball, I guess. It's a shot I have hit a million times. I have played a lot of matches in my career now. I have been in that situation before."
Federer, the 2011 Paris champion had been perfect in tie-breaks against Isner since the pair's first meeting at the 2007 US Open (5-0), but lost the initiative in both on Thursday. In the first-set tie-break, Isner fired a forehand winner to move ahead 3/1 before serving it out. In the decider, the American found the critical mini-break by drawing Federer to the net and forcing the Swiss into a backhand overhead miss.
"At the US Open, I won my tie-breakers," Federer said. "Here, I lost them. It's a pity. I didn't play a bad match. I haven't been broken during six sets against him, and I lost the match. It's tough to get out of the tournament not having lost your serve. This is how it happens against John. It's always on his racquet, especially indoors."
"This is a very big tournament," Isner said. "He's an incredible player. My favourite player and the greatest of all time, in my opinion. It was a huge win for me. I'm very proud I was able to get it done."
Isner will contest his 10th quarter-final of the season against David Ferrer, who topped Grigor Dimitrov 6-7(4), 6-1, 6-4 in two hours and 20 minutes.
Next up for Federer is the ATP World Tour Finals from November 15-22, where he has had his share of success in the past. In fact, the World No. 2 has held the trophy at the year-end showdown on no less than six occasions.
"I have been there since 2002," he said. "It's one of the tournaments that I've enjoyed most and that I've had a lot of pleasure winning. I'm happy I'm qualified. We'll see the groups, the round robins. I'm very eager to go to London and get prepared as well as I can. I'm in good shape. I'm healthy, so I want that tournament to start."

Federer races to victory against Seppi at Paris Masters
Federer quipped, "No, I'm too late now."
Federer draws confidence from Basel crown
The Swiss No. 3 seed arrives in Paris for the BNP Paribas Masters with the added incentive of ensuring a shock Australian Open defeat to Andreas Seppi back in January was a one-off when the pair square off in the second round. He leads the pair's ATP Head to Head 12-1 and has beaten the Italian twice this year since.
The 2011 Paris champion has claimed six titles this year and reached two Grand Slam finals. He is one of only a handful of players to have dented Novak Djokovic's otherwise brilliant year.
"Considering how I'm playing, who I was able to beat and all these things, I feel like I have played a very good season. I have said in interviews before a few weeks back after Novak was able to turn it up, winning Wimbledon, the US Open, that definitely changed the dynamics, made him the player of the year," Federer said. "But I was able to beat him twice and win six events. Besides that, I make two slam finals. My body and my mind is all in the right place.
"It's been a fun year so far. And I think looking at Paris and London, obviously now there is huge goal for me coming up in London. I will take it in my stride after Basel and I hope confidence is going to carry me far into the tournament here this week."
A surprise loss to Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas in the second round of the Shanghai Rolex Masters proved a blessing in disguise for Federer giving him extra time to recuperate ahead of the final indoors stretch. "I was on vacation after Davis Cup for 10 days, was on the beach with my family, had a great time, was able to unwind," he said.
"I did the same last year, maybe even a bit longer because I knew the year-end was going to be longer with the Davis Cup final. So from that standpoint, especially losing early in Shanghai, the year-end now is not going to be a problem really. It's a couple of events left, that's it."
The 34 year old reiterated his comments from Basel where he said he would play beyond the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. "I never said I was going to be done at Rio. I just said that was like my next long-term goal I had. It's not around the corner, but it's not that far off anymore," he said.
"I always sort of plan over a year ahead. Basically 2017 is locked up. That's the way I got to plan if I feel like I'm going to still be playing for some time. As long as I don't know when the end is, that's how you plan, into infinity if you like."

Federer beats Nadal for seventh Basel crown
After a 21-month wait, Federer and Nadal renewed their storied rivalry on the indoor hard courts of the ATP World Tour 500 event, with the Swiss winning for the first time since the 2012 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Competing in a record 12th final on home soil in Basel, he added a seventh trophy, a feat he has also achieved at four other tournaments in his career (Wimbledon - 7, Halle - 8, Dubai - 7, Cincinnati - 7).
"It was one of my best weeks in Basel, considering everything I've done throughout my career here," said Federer. "I thought the match was close. I had my chances in the second, but he fought back well, like he's done throughout the week really. Overall I was really happy how I played and it was a very special day.
"After all the matches and big finals we've played over the years, to have a final here in Basel was amazing for the crowd and for me personally. To come through and win was very special.
"I had a good game plan today, everything worked out. The match was high quality and it was entertaining and exciting for both of us as well. The confidence is good, no doubt about that. It's good to get back into the mood of winning after Shanghai. I think the body's gotten used to match play again after all these weeks of not playing."
Nadal was looking to make early inroads in the Federer serve and the Spaniard would attack early behind a barrage of deep, penetrating groundstrokes. Federer was forced to save a break point in his first service game following a trio of errors, but the Swiss would quickly regain his composure. The home favourite claimed six of the next seven points and rode the wave of momentum to three break chances of his own at 2-2. Utilising the fast indoor conditions at the St. Jakobshalle to his advantage, Federer opened the court and refused to give Nadal time to set up his forehand, coming forward often, as he has done all year.
One of the points of the tournament came with Federer facing break point in the sixth game. Nadal had the Basel native on the ropes after ripping a backhand approach into the open court, but Federer turned defence into offence in a flash, lunging at a cross-court forehand from well behind the baseline and sneaking it just past Nadal for the stunning winner. He would not look back, breaking to love a few games later to capture the opener 6-3.
Federer made a push to run away with the match early in the second set, but Nadal would not go down quietly, saving a break point while serving down 2-3. The margins were razor thin as both players looked to attack with first-strike tennis. The Mallorca native was one step ahead of the top seed in the latter stages of the set and his aggressive mindset would pay dividends, claiming his first break of the match for 6-5 as Federer buried a forehand into the net. Nadal would force a decider with a hold to love.
The patterns of play from the first two sets persisted in the third, with both players looking to open the court and keep rallies short. A Nadal double fault in the third game would give Federer a break chance to claim a potentially decisive break, but the Spaniard dispelled any such notion. He would win the battle, but the Swiss would win the war, grabbing the decisive break for 5-3 and serving it out a game later after two hours and three minutes on court. The former Basel ballboy out-aced Nadal 12-0 and struck 44 total winners. He converted on three of seven break points.
Federer earned his third title this year at an ATP World Tour 500 event, adding to crowns in Dubai and Halle, and 88th of his career at the tour-level. He also emerged victorious in Brisbane, Istanbul and Cincinnati in 2015. Nadal, meanwhile was vying for just his second indoor hard court trophy (Madrid 2005). He falls to 67-31 in tour-level finals and 3-3 this year.
"The match wasn't far away from me. He played well and I played well too. The match was very close to win, but I think he served very well in the third. I want to congratulate him for the victory and I had a lot of quality things in my game and mental side to take away from the week."
Federer and Nadal had not faced each other in a title match since Nadal's victory at the Rome Masters in May 2013. They last met on court for an Australian Open semifinal that Nadal won in three straight sets in January 2014.
''Six hundred-plus days have gone by a so a lot of things have happened,'' Federer said. ''Definitely I had the right game plan today.''
The Swiss has now improved to 5-1 against Nadal on indoor hard court surfaces. Nadal, still has a 23-11 hold over Federer, including 14-7 in tournament finals.

Federer and Nadal to clash in Basel final
The Swiss and the Spaniard, who last squared off on the hard courts of the Australian Open in 2014 - an encounter won by Nadal in straight sets - meet for the first time in a tour-level title match since the 2013 Internazionali BNL d'Italia in Rome. The Manacor native owns a 23-10 lead in the ATP Head to Head series, including victories in the previous five meetings. Federer last triumphed at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in 2012. It will be just their fifth hard-court final, with Federer emerging in Miami 2005 and the 2010 ATP World Tour Finals and Nadal in Dubai 2006 and the 2009 Australian Open.
"This is the first time we play each other in Switzerland," said Federer. "It will be an amazing atmosphere tomorrow. This is a dream final for the fans and the tournament.
"I'm very delighted. It's a great feeling. You always hope at the beginning of the week that you will be part of the last two players there and have a chance to win the trophy again in your hometown. It's nice to re-live that dream again this week.
"I'm feeling good with my game and have a good shot in the final. I have a clear game plan. I know how Nadal plays and he knows my game. The start is going to be crucial.
The Swiss maestro fired 19 winners and won all 18 points when at the net. He converted on three of six break chances and withstood a late rally from Sock, after the American broke while Federer served for the match at 5-2. The Basel native would seal the win two games later, securing his place in his 133rd tour-level final.
Federer will look to add Basel to the growing list of tournaments he has won at least seven times, when he squares off against Nadal on Sunday. He claimed his eighth title in Halle earlier this year and has hoisted seven trophies at Wimbledon, in Dubai and the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Cincinnati.

You may know already there has been a growing trend of later and later booking for several years now. What is really surprising is just how late many people are leaving it. Searches for holidays peak about two to three weeks before the main school holidays – especially in early July, but also just before Easter and around now, a couple of weeks before the half-term break. If you are one of these late bookers then are you booking the 'best' deals?
Costa del Sol is a good old favourite and if you're looking for a last minute deal you will always find something to suit everyone in the family in this region. It has been welcoming thousands to its shores for many years now and it's not hard to understand why. Renowned for its white sandy beaches for relaxing and most resorts having top of the class kids clubs.
Turkey has so much to offer from bazaars, waterparks and rare Loggerhead turtles. Also operators are really selling this place this year. Two specific places that seem to be offering fantastic deals are the Dalaman region and Marmaris.
The Dalaman region really does have something for everyone – miles of beautiful sandy beaches, stunning scenery, cities bursting with culture and more ancient ruins than you could shake a stick at. If you prefer the sound of Marmaris, you will find it a superb place to visit with its magical turquoise trails and mud bath beaches. And even though numbers of visitors are rising the place is still relativity untouched.
From rugged inland mountains where hikers and bikers enjoy the slow pace, to hushed sandy beaches where the only sounds are the sea lapping gently against the shore and the clink of your cold drinks arriving at your side, holidays in Corfu will thrill every type of holidaymaker.
It might be better known as one of Greece's famed party isles, but lush green Corfu has so much more to offer than its glistening party crown. Find out what will be on when you travel and experience real Corfu by getting involved with the locals and attending an event or festival.

Crocus combinations
Aspidistra elatior - cast iron plant & pot cover combination
- Position: indirect light - one of the most tolerant of shade
- Soil: fertile, good quality potting compost
- Rate of growth: slow
- Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
- Current height: approximately 55cm (including pot)
- Pot cover: Includes a 20cm pot cover
Incredibly popular with the Victorians, this aspidistra is an elegant and tolerant plant that will cope with some neglect - hence to common name of cast iron plant. It can withstand drought (provided temperatures are not too high) and pollution - and only needs repotting occasionally. This makes it a great choice for the novice who wants something that looks nice, but is really easy to look after.
- Home care: In an ideal world, this plant will want a spot that is well away from direct sunlight, with a good amount of water in summer - but much less in winter. Wash the leaves occasionally to keep them free of dust (this can be done by popping it under a cold shower), and try to maintain cool temperatures above 7 - 10°C in winter. Pot on every 4 - 5 years using a good quality potting compost.

Councillor Brian Coleman is facing suspension from the Barnet Conservative group after he was charged with assault on Monday.
Group leader Richard Cornelius said he was beginning the process of suspending the former Barnet Mayor.
The u-turn comes 48 hours after the council leader said former GLA member Cllr Coleman, 51, would have to "take a back seat" in politics until the legal issue was resolved.
But in a statement sent out on the leader's behalf, Councillor Cornelius said: "I am initiating the process of suspending Cllr Coleman from the Conservative group.
"There are group rules that need to be followed and I must abide by these rules.
"Due process must be followed and I will update as and when I can."
A decision on the councillor's suspension is expected to be made at a private Conservative party meeting on Tuesday.
Councillor Coleman was arrested on September 20 following an incident in High Road, North Finchley.
On Monday, police charged the former London Fire Authority chairman with assault by beating and driving on a road without reasonable consideration.
He has been bailed to return to Hendon Magistrates' Court on November 5.
The council leader has come under increasing pressure to take firm action following the controversial politician's arrest.
Labour group leader Alison Moore on Monday called on Richard Cornelius to remove the party whip from Councillor Coleman in wake of the charges.
Barnet Council also confirmed the politician would retain his status as a ward councillor and that any reprimand would be a decision for full council.

The history of Internet memes is as old as the Internet itself. In fact, you could say that one of the major wonders of the Web is how it has scratched our human itch to share pointless twaddle with everyone we know. (As a disclaimer, I should point out that I mean, in no way, to ignore the Web as a revolutionizing and often positive force in our lives. I simply want to illuminate how it has also handed us a way to indulge our obsession with offbeat cultural phenomena.) To put it bluntly, we have never seen a cat in a onesie that we didn't feel compelled to broadcast far and wide.

Interviews by Steve Matthes and Jason Weigandt
After the race in Atlanta, we combed the indoor pit area, recorder in hand, and grabbed these quotes from the riders.
Ryan Villopoto: Winner, SX Class
I know where I was a little bit slow on the track and I wish I was more in touch with the battle and those two guys. Sometimes it's not about being the fastest guy, it's about being the smartest and the fastest guy and those two guys jacked each other and I came out with the win. The section that I was a little slow in was the whoops, I looked at the segment times and me and Stew were right there most of the time. I was just a little slow in that one part and it cost me.
I didn't see those two (Stewart and Reed) collide but I was just a little bit behind them. I heard the crowd and once I hit the triple, I looked over and saw them on the ground. I cruised up, looked at them and said, "Thanks guys" and went on for the win.
The track was tough, there were the lappers and (Ryan) Dungey was right there on me on the last lap. If you were to go back and look at the times, you would see that we were all the same unless we hit the lappers.
Carey Hart: Team Owner, Ivan Tedesco (SX Class, 9th) and Chris Blose (SX class, 14th)
It was a great heat race for us but a little bummer of a main event. I was watching Ivan (Tedesco) on the start for the main event and the guy next to him jumped which made him go and hit the gate. (Chris) Blose got a good start and rode solid all night. The track was really hard to pass on and so when you hit the gate and have to come from the back, that makes it pretty tough.
As far as the Blose/Reed thing, I watched it the entire way and to me, I think Blose got the blue flag and started working his way to the outside and then (Chad) Reed and James (Stewart) caught him fast and Reed went to the outside for some reason-a line that really no one had taken all day. So it was just racing and stuff happens.
Ryan Sipes: 5th in SX Lites
Sipes was strong in Atlanta, finishing the night in fifth.
Photo: Andrew Fredrickson
My practices and heat went pretty good, I was happy with that. Once I got into the main I just kind of rode around and got locked into the pace of the guys ahead of me. Then Dean (Wilson) got by me-I don't know how, I kind of blanked out on that one- because I was just behind Blake Baggett riding around out there. If I had been riding my own race and focusing on going forward, I would have done pretty well, I think.
So then after that, I went down on the on-off tabletop section when I lost my front end, basically the same thing (Blake) Wharton did. Although my result wasn't as good as Houston, I felt like I rode better than that last race.
Nick Wey: 12th in SX Class
The team has been working hard to get me more comfortable on the bike, our suspension guy Todd Brown did some testing with me that helped a bunch. I've been dealing with this back injury for a while now and I'm finally able to ride during the week. I got terrible starts all night except for when it counted, when I was in the LCQ. I was happy to win that race, there were some good riders in there and I got some TV time as well.
In the main event, I got a terrible start, I think there was one guy behind me, and I ended up getting 12th on the night. I was happy with my ride, I think it was the best one of the year for me. I caught the pack of guys like (Davi) Millsaps and (Brett) Metcalfe from a ways back and was right there. With a start, I would've been top ten for sure. Not that a top ten is my real goal, I want to be in the top five, but it's a start. I'm happy with my Vall Rockstar Yamaha ride. And Carl from Winners Take All, AKA Broc Glover, hooked me up with some great tires for the race!
Short is on the cusp of breaking into the top-5.
Photo: Andrew Fredrickson
Andrew Short: 6th in SX Class
That's two weeks in a row I got sixth, but this week I rode well! I was happy with my ride, I had a good start of the race, an okay middle part of the race and then was fifth for nineteen laps before [Trey] Canard got me. It was my best race of the year, I had good speed and the team is making improvements. I'm learning how to ride the bike better as well.
I think that on the bike I've learned that you have to land off the jumps with the thing wide open. It doesn't have the torque of a 450 so you have to keep the momentum up and you can't cut under a guy and then expect to accelerate them to the next turn. I'm having to change my 450 technique. I'm excited for KTM and Red Bull and we seem to be working in the right direction.
Justin Barcia: 2nd in Lites
It was a pretty tough day. I had a crash near the mechanic's area in the first timed practice. Honestly, the crash wasn't that gnarly, but I hurt my wrist. It definitely affected me for the rest of the day, I had to tape it up, get ice on it and a write brace and stuff like that. I got eleventh in the second practice, but hey, what's new? I got eighth in Houston practice, so you never know. I knew I just needed to stay in the championship run, so I did what I had to do. I got a good start, and I charged the entire race. I had a few run ins with lappers. That was gnarly, it was definitely the highlight part of my race right there. It was even bad in the 450 race, with the lappers, so I think it was just a tough track to pass on.
Do you remember where the passes were made?
"It was nuts!" - Barcia
I honestly don't remember all of it, a race like that, it's happening so fast, I just remember lappers, and all of us going back and forth. It was gnarly, that's all I know. The wrist hurts a little bit, I'm definitely going to take this week off a little bit and rest up, because Daytona is a gnarly one.
A crash would hinder Canard for the second straight week.
Photo: Andrew Fredrickson
Trey Canard: 5th in SX Class
You were with the leaders and all of a sudden you disappeared. What happened?
Wild packs of stray dogs were out on the track, and they got me. No, kidding. I just got a big huck-a-buck in the whoops, and I lost my feet and mosied right off the track. Took awhile to get going from there, and the track was tough to pass on.
I was bummed. I think the past two weekends I really put myself in position to win the race, and it's just a really big bummer to not come through. I was in third behind James and Chad, so I was ahead of Villopoto, so it was definitely a good position seeing that he won the race. I'm so bummed. I just have to work through it and not get too discouraged. It's my rookie season, and this is a tough season to be a rookie in, there are a lot of experienced, great champions out there, and I can't get too bummed.
We get excited because I'm riding well. I don't know if I should say that I'm running those guy's speed or whatever, but I do feel like I'm up there. So it's easy to get ahead of yourself. I just need to have solid races. I would love to win, but I have to just be okay with solid races, and try to build.
Malcolm Stewart: 8th in SX Lites
I just went down in the first corner in the main. I rode good after. I came back from a long ways, but, definitely not where I want to be. It's better than two weeks ago, I know that for sure. I mean, I know I have got speed, I just to be a little smarter. Being down in that first corner, I don't even know what happened. I'd have to look at the tapes to know. But I feel good about my riding and my speed. I want to be in the top five, though. That's where I feel like I should be.

We've known since the October 11th Windows Phone 7 device launch that the HTC 7 Pro QWERTY slider would be hitting Europe in GSM form sometime early next year, and now o2 Germany has told us to expect the handset as early as next month. The carrier has posted a landing page for the 3.6-inch WVGA device allowing customers to reserve their units, specifying January as the anticipated month of availability. No pricing was given.
Also coming to Sprint in a CDMA embodiment (WiMax support is still unknown), the 7 Pro will be just one of three Windows Phone 7 devices with physical QWERTY keyboards, when it launches, and the only other portrait slider besides the LG Quantum / Optimus Q. Its tilting screen would seem to make it the spiritual successor to the Touch Pro 2, which itself was a generation-skipping followup to the TyTN II / AT&T Tilt.

|Inspirational images illustrating the community-oriented aspirations of the project.
On November 7th we will present preliminary concepts for our latest micro-housing project at 8311 15th Avenue NW in Crown Hill. This project is part of our ongoing mission to rethink the possibilities for dense livable housing in our rapidly changing city - a pursuit that has led us to a unique approach to micro-housing that emphasizes small affordable housing paired with generous common amenities arranged to foster social interaction among residents.
An important part of this process is engaging with the communities where we build to let people know what we are planning. The feedback we get from stakeholders helps us to refine and improve our design and integrate it better into the broader community. With this goal in mind, we met earlier this fall with our immediate neighbors for a conversation. We also sat down with members of the Crown Hill Urban Village Committee for Smart Growth, who invited us to prepare this blog post to help with the outreach process.
Our projects take an approach to micro-housing that differs what people may have seen in the past, so we want to take this opportunity to explain our design and the thinking that informs it. Our mission is to build housing that pushes forward on the following fronts:
- Livability: Small units with thoughtful layouts, built-in amenities, storage, etc.
- Community: Generous common spaces designed to augment the livability of the units, purposefully arranged to promote chance interaction among residents.
- Affordability: Affordable rental housing is rapidly disappearing in Seattle. This model allows us to increase the supply of affordable housing and to reach a level of deep affordability that is not possible with conventional market rate housing.
- Social Mission: We look for opportunities to partner with non-profit organizations that need housing to forward their mission and serve their clients.
- Sustainability: Our projects will participate in green building certification programs to push energy performance far beyond code requirements.
|A typical loft unit in the Yobi Apartments by Neiman Taber Architects.
Each of the private rooms in the project enjoy the following features:
- Private bathroom.
- Built-in wardrobe.
- Kitchenette with sink, lighted mirror, medicine cabinet, microwave, refrigerator.
- Built in storage areas in bathroom, living area, and overhead.
- Double bed.
- Over-sized windows provide generous natural light.
- Lofts at all top level units.
|Community kitchens on every floor provide opportunities for interaction often absent in apartment buildings.
At each floor level there is an informal "Pajama Commons" on each floor featuring:
- Full Kitchen for casual private and group use by residents.
- Dining area with ample daylighting.
- Laundry
At the main floor there is a larger shared commons for the whole building featuring:
- Full Kitchen
- Dining Area
- Living room/lounge
- Streetside terrace w/ visual connection to public way
- Shared courtyard with commercial tenant (coffee shop or cafe)
|The main floor at 8311 15th NW has been designed create a high level of interaction between the retail spaces, the residential commons and the pedestrian environment.
25% of the units will rent for $633/month. These units are affordable for someone making 40 percent of area median income ($25,320 for a single person for 2016). The average rent for the rest of the units is projected at about $900/mo. These units are affordable to someone making 55 percent AMI ($34,650 for a single person in 2016)
Affordability also means no surprises. Rents are all-inclusive. There are no extra charges for utilities (gas, power, lights, heat, water, sewer, waste pickup) and internet. This is a significant savings when comparing rents to a conventional apartment building.

We are partnering with Ryther, a non-profit based in North Seattle, helping them launch a new service through their Aspiring Youth program to provide supported community housing for young adults on the autism spectrum. One of the great strengths of our micro-housing model is that it is ideal for housing a cohort of individuals with common interests that benefit from living together. We expect that up to 10% of our residents will be from the Aspiring Youth program.
· The project is targeting Built Green 4 star certification. A combination of overall energy efficiency and small unit configuration will create a building with about 1/3 the energy use of a conventional apartment building.
Big changes are coming to Crown Hill. The city recently re-classified 15th Ave NW as a pedestrian street, triggering new standards for pedestrian friendly development. Seattle's new comprehensive plan anticipates significant upzones and expansion of the Crown Hill Urban Village boundaries. As the first project along 15th Ave NW to be designed and built using this new framework, our project can play a constructive role in the neighborhood's growth, setting a positive tone for future projects. Some of the measures we have taken in this regard are listed and illustrated below.
- Provide small scale retail opportunities with clear sightlines and an activated street presence.
- Dedicate some width along the commercial front to allow space for a wider sidewalk.
- Break up the retail spaces to creates opportunities for small local businesses.
- Provide good daylighting/transparency to promote safety.
- Ensure privacy of adjacent residents by providing screening/fencing and locating active areas away from the shared property line.
- Incorporate concepts from the Greening Crown Hill Master Plan such as green walls to mitigate blank walls and wide planting beds to buffer between traffic and pedestrians

I've spent the weekend at the Townsville Literary Festival which was fun, and a chance to catch up with all sorts of interesting people in the writing world, including the lively new Brisbane based YA author Christine Bongers.
I was on a panel with Christine (discussing the Miles Franklin winning novel The White Earth with Matthew Condon and James Maloney) and sat next to her at a book signing, so had a chance to chat, although she had a long tail of eager kids lining up to see her.
It's set on a farm in Central Queensland back in the 1970s (so it's based on Christine's on childhood) and I can see already, that it contains the best elements of good kids' fiction – fabulous characters, a strong voice, sympathy, warmth and humour.
It was also great to catch up with Carla Hutchinson-Reid from the Townsville Writer's and Publisher's centre.
But my weekend away has pushed my other exciting news almost clear out of my sieve-like brain. I'll be back soon to tell you about my great research trip out west to Cobbold Gorge.

Colorado Springs' sales tax revenue is higher than it was at this time last year and is on track to come in over budget by year's end.
The city's 2011 mid-year financial report shows sales and use tax revenue – the city's main source of income – is at $36.5 million as of June 1. That's roughly $1.5 million higher than in 2010, the year that put the city back on firm financial footing. In May, the city collected $9.6 million, up from $8.9 million in May of last year.
Overall, sales tax revenues are up 3.25 percent so far this year.
While that might be good news for city services, Mayor Steve Bach has issued a hiring and promotions freeze until after the 2012 budget is completed in order to bolster the city's fund balance.
Currently, the city's fund balance is 13.4 percent, or $30.2 million. That's the highest since 2004, noted Lisa Bigelow, budget officer at Monday's city council meeting.
Still, it isn't high enough for Bach.
"This is a major concern of mine, and we will increase the fund balance," he said. "We have to, so we're prepared for another downturn. I've heard talk of another recession in 2014. We have to be ready."
The city's coffers were hit hard during the last economic downturn, leading to severe budget cuts that turned off street lights and left parks unwatered.
"I don't want to be a laughingstock of the nation," said council member Tim Leigh. "I campaigned on this and it's an issue I'm behind. We have to address it."

Hi, this is a family favorite. We call it Aunt Junie's Ramen Salad since Aunt Junie always brings it to our family get togethers. I made it tonight and it was a big hit with our 3 guests. We're having our regular August heatwave here in northeast Oklahoma, just in time for the big pro Golf Tournament in nearby Tulsa. The big news of the day was Tiger Woods being spotted on the green practicing at 6:30 am, and it was around 80 already. I stayed indoors. I don't tolerate that kind of heat very well and we have lots of humidity too. This is a great side dish or you can add cooked cut up chicken, summer sausage, chunks of cheese, etc. to make it a meal in one. Have fun, stay cool & enjoy! — Lynn <email@example.com>
- Contributed by Lynn at Healthy Recipes for Diabetic Friends Y-Group
- 16 oz bag tricolor coleslaw fixings
- 1 package of beef flavor ramen noodles, crushed, no pieces bigger than a pea
- ¾ cup very thinly sliced scallions, (green or spring onions, about 3 or 4)
- ¾ cup sunflower seeds, I use the salted ones
- ¾ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup sugar or part or all Splenda
- ½ cup canola oil
- ⅓ cup cider vinegar (Original recipe used white vinegar, we like the mellower flavor of the cider. It's also easier on older digestive systems)
- beef flavoring packet from ramen noodles
- In large bowl combine shredded coleslaw fixings, scallions, sunflower seeds, and almonds until well mixed.
- Cover and chill until shortly before serving.
- In small bowl blend sugar or Splenda, canola oil, vinegar and beef seasoning from ramen soup package with whisk until blended.
- Cover and chill until shortly before serving salad.
- Shortly before serving, stir noodles and dressing into cabbage mixture, blend well and stir one more time just before serving.
- Keeps well for a few days if it lasts that long.
Nutritional information Edit
I made ours with all Splenda and it comes out to 4.1 carbs per ¼ cup of salad.

COAST CIITES — "Don't do it. Don't tolerate it. Report it," is the slogan used by the San Diego County District Attorney's office in a new movie ad campaign that aims to prevent people from committing insurance fraud, which costs the state's consumers an estimated $15 billion annually.
That figure amounts to a hidden tax of about $700 per family each year on the price of goods and services, according to San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis.
"During difficult economic times, insurance fraud has been shown to increase," Dumanis said.
The 15-second ads are showing on more than 340 movie screens in theaters across the county, and began Oct. 22 and are running through Dec. 3.
Approximately 37,000 people each day are expected to view the message, she said.
Sarah Ingersoll, an artist and sculptor, was at UltraStar La Costa 6 in Carlsbad on Nov. 8, and said she watches movies at the theater all the time.
She said that she must have missed seeing the DA's fraud warning ad after the campaign was explained to her.
She said that seeing a commercial of a person actually committing insurance fraud would be something that she might have remembered.
For an automobile insurance fraud ad, Ingersoll said that an ad that shows a person driving, such as "a face looking into the rearview mirror like they're planning something" would have more of an impact than an ad of someone in a jumpsuit.
"It's all about visual when you're in the theater," she said.
But the brief movie ads are the latest public awareness campaign in a series of grant-funded anti-fraud messages that have made their way around the county with the same images through various media since the first campaign launched October 2008.
With the initial campaign, the DA's office made and delivered pamphlets to local businesses that defined workers' compensation fraud, how to report it and what the penalties are.
Employees who lie to get workers' compensation benefits are subject to a felony charge for "applicant fraud," and can face up to five years in prison and a $150,000 fine, according to the pamphlet.
Provider fraud, which is false billing by a medical service, is also a felony and another example of what the brochure described.
The next campaign was in the form of freeway billboards that were in both English and Spanish and remained up for one month in January 2009, according to said San Diego County Deputy District Attorney Dominic Dugo.
One of the billboards featured a man working with a hammer with words that read: "Does Your Employer Have Workers' Comp? It's the Law!"
The other billboard was a picture of a man behind bars with a warning against workers' comp fraud.
Rebecca Thomas, of Carlsbad, was also at the UltraStar on Nov. 8, and after several minutes of thinking about the movie previews, she did remember seeing an ad that had a man in handcuffs.
"It was super fast," she said. "I don't know what it was about."
The ads shown on theaters scattered across the county depict the same slogan and images as the billboards.
Dugo said that anti-fraud posters were also distributed in 2009 for employers to hang in the workplace.
"When there's an economic downturn, people that tend to be financially stressed may commit fraud," Dugo said. "We're seeing an explosion in real estate and insurance fraud."
Dugo said the anti-fraud messages are geared toward the people who may commit insurance fraud for the very first time due to financial stress.
Some examples of insurance fraud include employees faking injuries or employers denying claims, he said.
"For auto insurance, it's typically someone who sells their vehicle to (someone in) Mexico and reports it stolen to the insurance company," he said.
Another way people commit automobile insurance fraud is when they let their car insurance policy lapse.
Dugo said that for the past one to two years there has been an increase in this particular crime, and that it has become quite common.
"In California, if you drive a car you are required by law to have car insurance," he said.
But people are letting their policy lapse in order to save money, yet they continue to drive, he said.
The fraud occurs when an uninsured vehicle is stolen or damaged, such as in an accident, and the owner then buys a new policy and lies about the date of the theft or damage and makes a claim, he said.
An entire division of the district attorney's office is dedicated to reducing insurance fraud, which includes working with the California Department of Insurance on public awareness, deterring potential defrauders, prosecuting and proactively investigating insurance fraud.
The grant-funded movie ads were funded by the California Workers' Compensation Fraud Assessment Commission and the California Department of insurance.
To view the ads, follow this link: www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1556476484617.
To report insurance fraud or workers' compensation fraud, or for any questions about suspected fraud, the public can call the Insurance Fraud Division of the DA's office at (800) 315-7672.
County takes aim at insurance fraudsters

Thousands of promotional campaigns are released everyday. In fact, many are well-known social causes yet people fail to act on the message. Then why did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge succeed where others failed?
To begin with, this campaign's design successfully employs the STICKY framework, and some fundamental principles from decision-making and consumer psychology.
Decision-making: Most campaigns target one primary action – buy this phone, donate some money, subscribe to this magazine, etc. But our mind loves to create choice, and hence decides between two choices – to do it or not to do it. And most of the time we will take the existing and predictable path which is NOT to do something. The ALS campaign has two primary actions and a third combined action so we decide between these 3 choices and never create the "not to do it" choice.
1. Take the Ice bucket challenge and donate $10 to the cause
2. Donate $100 and skip the ice
3. Do both
Social decision-making: The third subtle choice of doing both (which is the popular choice) is powerful because you get the social benefits, the self-gratification, and you don't imply that you did it just to save some money. No one wants their friends to think they're either stingy or meek. Our behaviors in private are very different from those in social situations. The video post challenging 3 people has transformed this idea from the private decision-making domain to the social decision-making domain. This technique will push people to do something they normally would not do on their own.
Simple: We all have access to some ice, water, a bucket and a smartphone. We already love shooting selfies and short videos. In fact we are usually out of idea,s and behaviorally speaking we're always looking out for a idea to post about. This gives us a simple idea to perform where we are doing something that's interesting, affiliating us to good, and hence indirectly self-promoting. Very aligned with natural social (online) user behavior.
Unexpected: Normally we never do this, and this is the first video where you will see this person (famous or not) in this peculiar way.
Concrete: Extremely visual and easy to remember. We can almost imagine and feel the chill of ice water on our skin even without doing the challenge.
Credible: This is associated to a social cause so the campaign has more meaning to it beyond the ice water. It's main intention is not to get you wet but to help you donate to the ALS Association, or find three others who can donate. Given this premise the idea starts out with some decent credibility. The credibility soared over time, with each person who takes the challenge because of network effects. Once it reached the famous folks, its credibility grew exponentially.
Emotional (& funny): We all need to feel an emotion to adopt a concept or spread it. This idea was not emotional in the traditional sense (one could not understand ALS or relate to those who suffer). However, the emotion of taking the challenge, and joining a community of challenge-takers was emotion enough to push the idea forward. Research has proved that ideas that makes us feel happy and positive spread faster than those that make us feel sad. This could have been a campaign highlighting the illness but it chose to focus on making people laugh which is powerful too.
Stories: The video was a brilliant way to bring a simple story to life – a friend taking the challenge and nominating three others. Extremely aligned to social networks where a story spreads without effort. And if you're the type of person who rarely opens your Facebook page, you would still hear someone tell you "Hey, did you see your friend taking the challenge with his 5-year old helping him fill the ice".
Attention Span: A small point in the overall success but could have killed the idea if not done right. We have 10 second attention spans and pouring a bucket of ice water on your head takes less than 10 seconds. Of course, if you're a famous person you can stretch the video and that's good for the campaign. But for most of us, we always have 10 seconds to watch a friend do something, and we need these quick conversation bites to share with those physically around us. You're not expected to read a blog, or listen to a talk, or deploy any of your scare cognitive resources. Just watch and laugh and share.
Why 3 and not 5? Not too small to not spread fast enough. Not too large to make me think. Beyond our immediate family (those we live with), most of us have 3-4 people who we feel comfortable nominating for something crazy (unless you're a celebrity where you can pick on anyone). Creating a list of 5 folks or even 5 email addresses requires some extra thinking. Most people quickly find 3 others and then struggle with too many similar choices in our long list of 200 Facebook friends.
Universal: This is slightly different from just being a "simple" idea. Universal is not about access to doing the idea but the ability to relate to it no matter where we are, how much we earn, or how happy we are. Bill Gates's needs are no different from you or me at a human level, and he faces the same mortality. When designing a global message, the following universal needs really matter:
humor and sharing a laugh
enjoying being challenged
taking one's tiny revenge by challenging others
bring part of a cause for doing good
and finally, just feeling happy about breaking the routine in an interesting way
The simple truth of good marketing is that people cannot help acting when messages are behaviorally aligned to how we love to be. It's no surprise that the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is powerful and viral to the core.
Watch these folks and don't forget to laugh. :)

For the past two years, Mobile Fashion Camp by Sharmooz Los Angeles has brought style, fun, and creativity to young minds. The participants have created jeweled collars, drawstring backpacks, recycled skirts and other fun fashion pieces they learned to do from a recycling blog called iSustain Recycling. Mobile Fashion Camp is a non-profit community based organization with 70% of participants attending on our scholarship program.
Mobile Fashion Camp
Mobile Fashion Camp strives to ignite creativity and self-esteem through education and hard work in creating projects from start to finish. The awakening of their creativity is priceless and the enthusiasm is infectious with our high-energy structured camps. Class starts with a mini-history on the chosen project, intro to sewing swatches, fabric selection, pattern cutting and sewing pieces together with fun embellishing. Fabrics, sewing machines, and supplies have been donated and sponsored by several local businesses.
Volunteers have graciously donated their time with assisting in completion of products, set-up and break-down of the camps. Another unique fact about fashion camp: we are mobile!
