Footnote Re Ivan Bell Impeachment by Standards Committee
2008-05-29 22:22:00 Regarding our previous story that we ran on Ivan Bell's imminent hearing before the Standards Committee regarding his conduct being allegedly at variance with the Council's Conduct Code we should have mentioned that Councillor Bell is a "prospective" - or as he tends to put it "perspective" -Independent Candidate for the High Peak at the next General Election.It is also worth pointing out at this stage that we believe the Standards Committee to have been set up by none other than that paragon of official good conduct John Prescott during his time as the Minister for Environment, Transport and the Regions, or possibly as Deputy PM.Although John Prescott was not averse using his offices and official time when in highly salaried position to dally with his Diary Secretary, Tracy Temple, he did not come before his own or any Standards Committee nor did he feel it necessary to resign from his post for using paid time in this way.Is there a lesson there for Councillor Bell possibly?

REVISE THE STANDARDS FOR SAFETY
2008-05-29 05:59:00 One of the key issues in achieving water sustainability is the pollution of water resources. Pollution of water resources, particularly the surface water exacerbates water constraints and shortages. Majority of rivers, lakes and seasonal rivulets in the country are today contaminated with the discharge of sewage and effluents. While the groundwater is largely pure, the leaching of contaminants as pesticide residue and heavy metals is increasingly threatening underground resource too. Significant progress has been made with regard to availability of appropriate technology to treat the sewage before it is discharged into the surface water. The standards that prescribe the level of treatment before the sewage is discharged into a water body are also in place. In spite of all these, the surface water bodies remain polluted. The river Yamuna is an example of all efforts to improve the quality of wastewater that went waste. The fault lies in adopting standards that do not...

New measures by MAS to improve the disclosure standards for participating l
2008-05-26 02:29:00 MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) will be taking recent measures to close the information gap surrounding what are known as participating life or ‘par’ policies. To recap, premiums paid by policyholders for their ‘par’ plans go into a common pool called the ‘par’ fund and is invested in a variety of assets, with bonuses paid out from surpluses. Most insurers did not disclose the returns or losses of their funds, the target returns and payout levels, or the funds’ investment strategy and allocation mix. With the new measures implemented since March, all this is set to change. They include a revised benefit illustration with two projected rates of returns, which is meant to help policyholders understand that cash bonuses are not guaranteed and will vary depending on several factors. Also, it is now compulsory for insurers to disclose how they invest the premiums collected as well as their past performance. The changes reflect the industry...

My standards aren’t your standards
2008-05-22 22:58:00 Andy ITGuy – Something that I hear all the time that gets my goat is What is the industry standard for that?. What I want to say is What does it matter?. Very few of the companies in my industry have a network or environment anywhere close to what we have. Most of them run much smaller companies, networks and less complex environments. So what is standard for them is not standard for us. I understand what the intent of the question is but intent doesnt help us in this. What will help us is for us to quit ... read more

Cllr Ivan Bell falls foul of Standards Committee
2008-05-21 11:28:00 News about Ivan Bell the Controversial Councillor for Old GlossopIvan Bell, Councillor for Old Glossop is not everyone's cup of tea, though he has been elected successfully as Councillor for Old Glossop on two occasions, which is more than can be said about a lot of Labour councillors in their respective wards.He does however walk a political tightrope that carries the threat of alienating both the mainstream and those dissenting voices that are traditionally aligned with the left and green issues. Speaking as a "man of the people" has not entirely endeared him to some of us at this particular hotspot of local political comment, as previous articles reveal, whilst now he has seriously fallen foul of the Council's Standards Officer and is apparently subject to some kind of "impeachment" process if that is the right word.I would have been less than surprised if this "impeachment" had derived from Mr Bell's failure to wear the "bureau" suit look , without tie, as modelled by form...

CARB considering regional standards rather than state-by-state
2008-05-14 23:18:00 CARB considering regional standards rather than state-by-state California's Air Resources Board has been the driving force behind a patchwork of state-by-state emissions regulations, but CARB could be taking a step back from its original proposal. On Monday, Board Chairwoman Mary Nichols announced she would consider regional requirements rather than state-by-state standards. Automakers and dealerships have widely contested California's emissions standards — which have been adopted by 13 states — as they would cause a patchwork of regulations that would make it nearly impossible for automakers to comply with. California enacted its emissions standards in 2002, which would require an automaker's fleet to average 36.8 mpg by 2016. Current CAFE standards call for a 35 mpg average by 2020. If California is allowed to set its own standards — along with the states that have adopted California's standards — most automakers would be unable to ...

SNL: Hillary Clinton: "I Have No Ethical Standards"
2008-05-10 20:22:00 As Hillary Clinton ignores calls to end her candidacy, some have wondered if the continued fight between Barack Obama and herself is aiding the GOP. All right, more than some, many. But, despite some past assertions that SNL was backing Clinton, they certainly skewered her on Saturday's show - as well as the question as to why she has still not dropped out - which was hosted by Shia Labeouf. As portrayed by SNL, Hillary Clinton listed several reasons that we should consider her the better candidate against McCain. First, I am a sore loser. If and when I am the nominee, I know as do the superdelegates that Senator Obama will work his heart out for my election. If, on the other hand, Senator Obama is chosen, I will probably refuse to campaign for him. Or if I do so, it will be in a resentful, half-hearted way, thus ensuring his defeat, so that I can run again in 2012. You see, unlike my opponent, I'm just not going to lose gracefully. Second, my supporters are racist. If and whe...

Ralph Nader blasts the NHTSA for rollover safety standards
2008-05-10 06:13:00 Ralph Nader blasts the NHTSA for rollover safety standards Presidential hopefuls Sens. John McCain and Hillary Clinton may be focusing on a 'gas-tax holiday', but another presidential candidate — Ralph Nader — is eying a reform of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nader feels the NHTSA has gotten too close with the automakers and calls it nothing more than a "consulting firm" for car makers. Nader's latest gripe with the NHTSA involves roof strength standards. The NHTSA is considering a new standard that would replace the one that has been in place for the last 37 years. However, Nader feels that even the new standard won't be enough to protect occupants involved in a rollover crash. Automakers have largely sided with the NHTSA, stating rollover crashes are difficult to accurately replicate and that roof collapse is rarely the cause of death, according to Automotive News. Adding stronger roof supports would also increas...
Judging the Tesla Roadster and Chevy Volt by different standards
2008-05-09 15:27:00 There has long been an interesting paradox in the realm of cars. For some peculiar reason, people who buy really expensive cars are willing to make more compromises to the foibles of the car and cut them more slack. How else to explain grief that owners of Italian exotics withstood for decades in terms of reliability, ergonomics and build quality. Buyers of mainstream cars that often have far fewer problems as a percentage of the number of vehicles built have a fit at every little thing that goes wrong. That same paradox exists today. The Tesla Roadster by virtue of its price and performance falls into entry level of exotic cars. Despite numerous delays in getting the car into production, and obvious compromised in terms of its functionality, most people have been willing to cut the car and the company a lot of slack, myself included. In my case my experience in the auto industry allows me to understand the difficulty of the task Tesla had. I never actually expected them to meet the... |
