It's killing me right now.As I watched the last Harrison Council meeting video, Mayor Raymond McDonough was addressing the Harrison PBA president. He was reminding the president that he would have had the two additional men requested for the police department, and then he said this."If it weren't for the new Hudson County Sheriff, you would have had your men," McDonough said.I am going to have to call the mayor to ask him what he meant. Could it be that Juan Perez has made yet another stupid decision that has hurt the people of the county? I mean, come on. He's only been the sheriff for a grand total of about 120 days, and he's already padded the pockets of his friends and relatives by giving them prominent jobs. What could it be now that he's done?If I am able to reach McDonough over the

Following the Kentucky's Board of Education's Barbara Erwin debacle, newly minted Governor-elect Steve Beshear asked the KBE to conduct a national search for Education Commissioner. KBE blew him off and hired Kentuckian Jon Draud.Earlier this month, Beshear warned the Council on Postsecondary Education that they must conduct a national search for its next president. CPE blew him off and hired its interim president Brad Cowgill without a new search. Council chairman John Turner of Lebanon said no search was necessary because "we have the right person in place."Beshear responded by calling for an Attorney General's Opinion and asked the CPE to refrain from executing a contract with Cowgill. CPE did not finalize the contract.The Courier-Journal jumped into the fray with an opinion calling CPE

For several years now the effectiveness of the Council on Postsecondary Education has been called into question. The most recent volley was fired by the Courier-Journal last Friday.C-J said CPE was "utterly useless in terms of setting priorities for state spending on public colleges and universities, because the General Assembly ignores its recommendations whenever it chooses." They called for Governor Steve Beshear to "re-invent the council by executive order."If the governor wanted to preserve CPE's authority over both the universities and the legislature it could be easily done, and at no cost to the public. The way to make CPE respectable is to give them control over the distribution of athletic tickets to legislators. Instantly, legislators would be in a position to listen.As it is CP

By the early 1500s, the Catholic Church (hereafter CC) was in trouble. It was in many places corrupt and was stepping over certain boundary lines of power. While the average European was more fervently and popularly religious than at most other times in Christian history, the Church was seen by a large contingent as failing in certain areas. This is the reason someone like Martin Luther could write against the CC and manage to break it apart. He began critiquing in 1516 until his death; the CC did not issue a total response until the Council of Trent in 1563. This council reformed the CC and corrected many of the injustices that Protestants had complained about. It was too late, however, and German regionalism and a dislike of papal taxation kept the various Protestant movements aliv

Is the Texas High School Completion and Success Initiative Council trying to backdoor school vouchers into the landscape of public school education in Texas? It would appear that such an attempt was made, but has now been nixed (although the door may not be completely shut on the idea): A special state committee on high school dropouts on Tuesday appeared to nix the idea of a private school voucher program for those students, but left open the possibility of the state contracting with private firms to help dropouts complete their education. Before adopting its long-range plan to reduce the dropout rate and improve the college and workforce readiness of high school graduates in Texas, the nine-member state panel reacted to widespread criticism from education groups that it was opening the

The backlash from the Conservative-led campaign to fight the move to unitary councils is about to hit home. As we all now know the government went with Cheshire East and West instead of staying with what we have or moving to one Cheshire authority. The court action to try and block the move cost a few quid (around £150,000 according to Labour councillors), money from the borough's coffers that was promised to the Congleton-led challenge by CNBC leader Brian Silvester..Not wanting to miss out on an opportunity, Labour leader Steve Hogben had the following to say: "This has been a shocking waste of public money. It should have been spent on improving front line services or keeping council tax down, rather than wasting hard-earned taxpayers’ cash on a doomed kamikaze mission. The only peop

Complete text of speech: • Statement by Felipe Pérez Roque, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba at the High Level Segment of the Seventh Session of the Human Rights Council. Geneva, March 3, 2008 Excellencies: I am speaking on behalf of Cuba, the country who is suffering under the longest and cruellest blockade known to history; the small rebel country which is threatened with "a change of regime", never to be forgiven its noble spirit and integrity. That Cuba should be founding member of this Council is proof that, finally, reason conquers force, the defence of principles defeats power and wealth. Proof of the fact that you cannot fool all of the people, all of the time. During 2007 we concluded, in essence, the institutional building of the Human Rights Council. I

Lot of comments, so back oop top a bit. Regular readers will know that Crewe blog gets fed various snippets of info from a number of sources. Hopefully, it's all for the longer term good of the community. Some is political point scoring, for sure, but much of it is information that should be made public. .Take some of the recent decisions made at the 2008-09 CNBC budget meeting (the snap, btw, is of the Municipal Offices off Vernon Way). Anyway, at a meeting last Wednesday the figures were discussed for the forthcoming year. Part of the process involves the other political elements offering suggestions/amendments to the ruling party's proposals. Now we're only going on what we have been told (by a Labour councillor, obviously) but it appears that some sensible alternatives were dismissed o

Some might say that there's more enjoyment to be had from a daffodil in bloom than anything that comes out of the Municipal Buildings! Harsh, surely, but as discussed t'other day there were a few alternative 2008-09 budget suggestions thrown in by the town's Labour Group that need to be mentioned. Another bite-size chunk if you like. Although our local councillors all love eachother (honest), I suspect they might be falling out over the following a little later... .1. Labour suggested scrapping a £625,000 contingency for non-realisation of external funding. Basically, a safeguard. The opposition party also preferred to drop some repairs planned for the changing facilities at the George Playing Fields, instead going all-out and building a new and more suitable block. In addition, they want

In February representatives from local school councils sued Chicago Public Schools over whether the Board of Education violated state law when it disbanded the LSCs of two high schools in 2003 and replaced them with advisory councils for each of the new, smaller schools. The issue involves transforming local school councils - which nominate and vote for candidates for principal - into advisory councils - which merely select up to three candidates who are then chosen by CEO Arne Duncan. read more

After months of diplomacy, haggling, and delays, today the United Nations finally approved a third round of sanctions against Iran. The sanctions come in response to Iran’s continuing refusal to suspend its uranium enrichment program (which could theoretically be used to produce materials for nuclear weapons). Honestly, I was surprised to see the sanctions passed [...]

There are many people who believe in vexatious complaints as a means of silencing doctors. In their view, only patients/relatives should have the free speech but doctors aren't entitled to it. Of course, I find that accountability is important for complainants of this sort. I am also a great believer in physics ie for each and every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction. I took particular interest of late in the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council. Many nurses who have worked in England eg in Powys are offered jobs in Australia. This may be whether they are honest or dishonest. They often leave their past behind hoping that documents within the authorities will not catch up with the relevant people in Australia. The beauty of faxes and emails and even the post is that documen

The new Nashville convention center is one step closer to reality as the Metro Council agrees to fund all predevelopment activities required to build the center. Funding for the predevelopment work will be limited to the money brought in by revenue sources already in place for the project. Metro Finance Director Rich Riebeling said about $1.4 million is coming in each month from those taxes and fees, most come from the tourism industry.Phil Ryan, executive director of the Metro Development and Housing Agency, said the work will start with the creation of a master plan for the proposed 15.6-acre site at Fifth Avenue South and Demonbreun Street. A planning firm will help MDHA decide on the best way to lay out the convention hall, the hotel, and the parking garages on the property.The next st
