The Icelandic Volcano

The link is to Birmingham's Resiliance Team's website which deals with various issues including the Icelandic Volcano.

The subsection is here with a nice picture (if a bit small) of the volcano itself.

Birmingham's civil contingency processes have been working quite well in recent years.

With the focus on the closure of the Air space due to the ash cloud entering the aircraft enigines, is one problem, but also a not well reported issue occures when planes fly throught ash cloudes is the aircraft is literally sand blasted.

the infamous BA flight 9 lost all four engines but as well the pilots had to fly blind as the aircrafts windscreen and windows became "frosted".

Theres another positive thing that will happen with the grounding of aircraft is the CO2 emissions will have significantly fallen, yeah its only for 24 hours or so, thats still a significant ammout thats not been pumped out into the atmosphere.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
