John McDonnell's plan to scrap Bank of England independence would turn back clock, economists warn

 Labour’s new shadow chancellor has threatened to strip the Bank of England of its independence, a move that economists warn could threaten to enlarge the UK’s debt pile and weaken its currency.

John McDonnell, appointed as shadow chancellor by Jeremy Corbyn on Sunday, said three years ago that he would “in the first week of a Labour government … [end] the Bank’s control over interest rates”.

That independence has “simply meant democratic government decisions being replaced by the influence of shortsighted bankers”, Mr McDonnell claimed. On Monday, he said that the Labour leadership election showed that “new policies and Jeremy’s have been roundly endorsed”.

Such a move would reverse what is considered one of the biggest  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/bank-of-england/11863780/John-McDonnells-plan-to-scrap-Bank-of-England-independence-would-turn-back-clock-economists-warn.html


EEF calls on Downing Street to scrap 'complex' energy tax system

EEF, one of Britain’s leading employers’ groups, has urged the government to scrap the carbon price floor and other green taxes, following on from a series of ministerial moves to slash subsidies on wind and solar schemes.

The demand for more cuts comes as a high profile green crowdfunding scheme, the Trillion Fund, said it would no longer be loaning money to renewable energy projects because the government had “rocked investor confidence”.

EEF said ministers should move away from green taxes that penalise businesses, such as the carbon price floor and the carbon reduction commitment, and instead use tax incentives to reduce CO2. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/14/eef-calls-on-downing-street-to-scrap-complex-energy-tax-system

HMS Edinburgh sets sail for scrap in Turkey

A HISTORIC Navy destroyer ­yesterday left Britain for the last time to be sold for scrap in Turkey after a campaign to turn it into tourist attraction in ­Edinburgh ended in failure.

It had been hoped that HMS Edinburgh, the last of the Royal Navy’s Type 42 destroyers, would find a new home in Leith.

But after proposed costs for the venture were deemed too high, the ship – the largest in its class – was sold to a Turkish scrap merchant, a fate which befell her sister ships, HMS ­Manchester and HMS Liverpool.

Maritime enthusiasts and members of the Navy ­gathered yesterday afternoon to bid the 463ft vessel a final farewell as it set sail from Portsmouth.

Known as the ‘Fortress of the Sea’, the ship – built in 1980 by the Cammell Laird yard at Birkenhead, Merseyside – was deployed to the Gulf in 2003 during the Iraq war, escorting helicopter carrier HMS Ocean and supporting Royal ­Marines ashore. She underwent a £17.5million refit in 2010 but was decommissioned three years later.  http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/hms-edinburgh-sets-sail-for-scrap-in-turkey-1-3857179

49ers TC10: Kaepernick connects with Vernon Davis; first scrap of training camp

Colin Kaepernick had perhaps his best practice of training camp, one that included a big, seam-route throw to tight end Vernon Davis.

That was once a staple of the 49ers offense, both when Alex Smith was under center and when Kaepernick took over as starter. But it disappeared for virtually all of last season. Davis' longest play of the year? A 29-yard touchdown in Week 1. He didn't have any touchdowns from that point on.

On Wednesday, however, the 49ers were working just outside of the red zone when Davis took off. Tramaine Brock, working as the nickel cornerback, picked him up and Kaepernick lofted a pass that hit the tight end five yards before the end line. Davis spiked the ball at Brock's feet afterward for emphasis. Craig Dahl also was back in coverage on the play.

**********************

Overall, Kaepernick went 11-14 in 11-on-11 or team drills. Another end-zone throw -- this one to running back Carlos Hyde -- was more precarious, but had similar results.

Kaepernick bought extra time to throw on a broken play and saw Hyde come free in the end zone. He threw a dart to the tailback that initially deflected straight into the air but was brought down by Hyde for a touchdown.

**********************

Why is Anquan Boldin Kaepernick's favorite target. An early-practice throw underscored the answer. Kaepernick was throwing a short-range pass to Boldin when Brock, adept at jumping routes, tried to get in front of the pass. Boldin, who is one of the strongest receivers in the league, essentially screened off the cornerback and instead of an interception, Brock only deflected the ball in the air. Boldin then outmuscled Brock for the reception.

Brian Koonz: Diaco needs to scrap ‘Civil Conflict’ message

It didn’t take long, maybe four or five minutes, before UConn football coach Bob Diaco reached for the Central Florida rivalry card Monday night.

A few weeks ago, the card was pristine. There were no creases, no folds, no flaws in the “Civil Conflict” as Diaco anointed it.

But as Diaco summoned his inner P.T. Barnum at the Sign of the Whale pub in Stamford, the rivalry card was a little tattered. Actually, it was a lot tattered.

Not that it mattered to the partisan UConn alumni crowd from Fairfield County.

Everyone here, with their free drink tokens and light bites, wanted to hear about Diaco’s plan to beat up Central Florida on the American Athletic Conference schoolyard.

Even if the Golden Knights, the league’s flagship program, never got the note in lunch.

“The Central Florida stuff … that was about pride. That wasn’t a gimmick,” Diaco insisted, working the rooftop beer garden like nobody’s business.

“That was us saying, ‘Hey, we don’t like you. We don’t care if you don’t like us, but we don’t like you. At your place, at your school, you meet us by the flagpole. We’ll be there.’ “

Hong Kong teachers urge the government to scrap territory-wide system assessments in schools

About 65 per cent of over 2,000 teachers believe the government should scrap a city-wide exam that they say has lost its original purpose and forced endless tutoring and drilling sessions, a survey shows.

Territory-wide system assessments (TSAs) started in 2004 as a way for the Education Bureau to keep track of pupils' study progress and schools' education results. The exams are held for Primary Three and Six and Form Three pupils. The primary-level exams are not used as a reference when graduates are allocated secondary school places.

The exams include Chinese, English and mathematics.

But some educators said officials from the bureau, when visiting schools, often asked the schools to improve their TSA results, which put pressure on school operators, who would then tell teachers to drill their pupils for the exams.

In the survey, conducted by the Professional Teachers' Union in March and April, about 70 per cent of the 2,055 teachers who responded to questionnaires by mail or online said TSA preparation had affected their daily teaching. Almost 70 per cent set up after-school tutoring sessions lasting an average two hours per week.

About 97 per cent said they required Primary Three and Six pupils to buy an average of three extra TSA exercise books.

"My son once cried and asked me: 'Mum, what's the meaning of my existence? Is it just to do homework?'" said Josephine Cheung Man-sen, whose autistic son studied for the TSA.

Many parents who had children with special educational needs studying at mainstream schools said the children had to rely on antidepressants to ease the pressures arising from extra studies, Cheung said.

Another parent, Doreen Ho Mei-yee, said teachers never told parents specifically that TSA, unlike the other two major exams for Primary Six pupils, would not affect their children's chances of entering good secondary schools.

She also said the bureau had provided little information about the system.

Qatar Airways urged to scrap policy allowing it to sack pregnant cabin crew

International Labour Organisation rules airline discriminated against women with clause stating it can terminate contracts over pregnancies.

The International Labour Organisation has called on Qatar Airways to scrap contracts that allow it to sack cabin crew members for being pregnant.

Following a year-long investigation sparked by complaints by workers at the state-owned airline, the labour arm of the United Nations ruled it discriminated against women by including in employment contracts a clause stating: “The company reserves the right to automatically terminate your contract as a flying cabin crew member should you become pregnant.”

The ILO said on Tuesday the contract breaches its 57-year-old convention against discrimination at work, which has been ratified by 172 countries. It has also demanded the Doha-based airline review a ban on female cabin crew being dropped off or picked up from work by men other than their brother, father or husband, which Qatar Airways insisted was “a cultural norm”.

It has also asked the Qatar government for more evidence about the impact on women of a clause in Qatar Airways workers’ contracts that they must “obtain prior permission from the company in case [he or she] wishes to change marital status and get married” – a requirement the airline says has now been dropped.

Asked to respond to the ILO’s findings, Akbar Al Baker, the chief executive of Qatar Airways, accused the organisation of having a “vendetta” against both Qatar and its national airline. “I don’t give a damn about the ILO – I am there to run a successful airline,” he told Reuters in Paris. “This is evidence of a vendetta they have against Qatar Airways and my country. My country has responded to the ILO accusations in a very robust way. We clarified the clauses in our contract.” Read more http://www.theguardian.com

Nebraska awards scrap tire grants

The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality has awarded $2.01 million in grants to fund 126 scrap tire collection and recycling projects in the state.

Nearly $646,000 of the grant money will go toward funding 30 scrap tire collections across the state, said Nebraska DEQ Director Jim Macy. The agency estimates that these collections will round up 7,075 tons of scrap tires from Nebraska homes, farms and businesses.

Other grants will partially reimburse individuals and organizations for rubber mulch and other recycled rubber products across Nebraska, Macy said. These include funds for schools and organizations to install playground mulch, synthetic turf fields and running tracks.

Nebraska generates more than 1.5 million scrap tires annually, or about one scrap tire for everyone in the state, according to the Nebraska DEQ. The state funds scrap tire abatement projects through a $1 fee on every new tire sold in the state. That money goes into the Nebraska DEQ’s Waste Reduction and Recycling Grants program.
