Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Mr Sarwar is to become a shadow spokesman at international development after Jim Murphy's resignation as the main spokesman following his decision to stand as Scottish party leader triggered a reshuffle tonight.

Glasgow MP Mr Sarwar announced last week that he would quit as no 2 in Scotland, after the results of the Scottish contest for the leader and deputy leaer are known mid-December. The election follows Johann Lamont's resignation as leader last month.

He tweeted: "Having campaigned for last 3 yrs as an internationalist, I'm delighted to have become Shadow Minister of State for International Development."

Mr Murphy's replacement as shadow international development secretary is Mary Creagh, while her former transport brief goes to Michael Dugher. He advised former prime minister Gordon Brown during his time at No 10.

Lucy Powell, who ran Ed Miliband's leadership campaign, has been put in charge of the day-to-day running of the party's effort to win the general election as part of a reshuffle of Labour's top team.

She becomes shadow Cabinet Office minister and vice chair of the general election campaign next year.

Insiders said that it means Mr Miliband will meet his target of at least 50 per cent of his team being female.

A senior Labour source said: "Jim's decision to stand down has created a vacancy which Ed wanted to fill with some of the party's best and most talented campaigners.

"Lucy, who ran Ed's campaign, is obviously a proven talent.

"Ed also wanted to move a step forward in his aim of having a 50/50 gender balance in the Cabinet if we win the next election.

Amid media reports that Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was in Delhi and had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah, speculation gained ground that a Cabinet reshuffle might be held on Sunday.

President Pranab Mukherjee will go to Bhutan on a state visit on Friday and will return on Saturday evening. So far, he has no official engagement on Sunday.

In his brief interactions with the media on two-three occasions, the Goa chief minister did not deny suggestions that he was being tipped to be the defence minister. I cannot comment. Let the prime minister, who has invited me, comment, he said when asked about the media speculation after his meeting with Shah.

However, after his meeting with Modi, he told reporters they only discussed Goa issues and there was no talk on his induction in the Union Cabinet. We have not discussed anything about that. So, as of now the issue is dead, he said.

As Parrikar is neither a member of the Lok Sabha nor the Rajya Sabha, he will have to seek a by-election. The BJP will have to find a replacement for him in Goa, where the party is heading a government. Deputy Chief Minister Francis DSouza could be a replacement, which will be a record of sorts for the party.

Others who hold dual charge are Prakash Javadekar (environment and information & broadcasting) and Ravi Shankar Prasad (law and communications and information technology). Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also has a clutch of portfolios, including minister of state for finance, though she has an independent charge despite being a first-time minister.

Rajasthan has only a nominal presence in the Cabinet and new victories in Haryana and Maharashtra will require representation from these two states as well. In anticipation of the Bihar elections in 2015 and Jharkhand and Delhi, there is a possibility these states could send representatives to the Cabinet as well.

Florida voters granted Gov. Rick Scott another four years in office Tuesday night and he will serve alongside an all-Republican Cabinet, a GOP majority in the state Senate and a super-majority in the House.

That should make it very easy for Scott to carry out his policy goals, as long as it doesnt run counter to the priorities of legislative leaders who have no problems squabbling behind closed doors with the states chief executive.

Scott cannot run for re-election in 2018 because of term limits. That means, for better or worse, Floridians can expect him to follow his own heart on policies and positions without as much consideration as to how voters perceive him.

The governor will make public his plans for 2015-16 when he unveils his budget proposal in January.

No one has a crystal ball, but here are 10 things to look for during Scotts second term.

Focus on jobs: Expect more cold calls and letters from Scott to companies based in Democratic-controlled states as he did throughout his first term. And expect angry rebuttals from those governors as a result. Expect him to continue supporting the elimination of regulations he believes stifle business growth. Expect the governor to compare Florida to Texas often, especially when it comes to job growth statistics. I will not let up; we will become No. 1, Scott said on election night.

More tax cuts: Speaking of jobs, Scott believes that cutting taxes and fees for Florida businesses and individuals fuels economic growth. On the campaign trail, he said he would propose $1 billion in tax and fee cuts during his second term. Some of that will be a heavy lift such as his desire to introduce a constitutional amendment that would limit property tax increases but others could be more palatable to the Legislature now that members have at least two years until the next election.

No tuition increases: Gov. Rick Scott doesnt believe that Florida students attending public universities and state colleges should pay any more in tuition than they already do. He helped convince the Legislature to remove provisions in the state budget that allowed for automatic tuition increases in certain cases. He has great influence on the makeup of universities boards of trustees and the state Board of Governors. As a result, dont expect tuition increases for state universities to get any love, although Florida State University and University of Florida have some special flexibility. Although all schools have more control over the fees that students pay for some services, sizeable increases in that area also will be frowned upon.

No easier restoration of rights: Under Gov. Charlie Crist, felons who had completed the terms of their sentences saw a streamlined process that made it easier to get their rights restored, allowing them to vote and serve on juries. Shortly after Scott took office, he and the Cabinet reversed Crists policy and established a minimum five-year waiting period for ex-convicts to apply to have their rights restored. Not only was Scott re-elected, but the Cabinet was, too, so expect no changes here.

More conservatives on the bench: State law requires four Florida Supreme Court justices to retire in the coming years, including several considered among the most liberal on the seven-member bench. Justice James Perry must retire in 2017, which means Scott will pick his replacement. The other three could hold off until the final days of Scotts term, and that could pave the way for joint appointments by him and his successor. Meanwhile, Scott will appoint dozens of people to judicial vacancies in county, circuit and appellate courts across the state during his second term.

Cohoes

High above City Hall flies a huge Stars and Stripes that's buffeted by the rain and tattered by strong winds as it waves 24 hours a day.

Once every 90 days, a new flag is hoisted to replace the fraying 15-foot-by-18-foot U.S. flag.

Wednesday, a crew of five roofers from Quality Roofing and Remodeling climbed the five stories of the Cohoes City Hall bell tower to open a hatch to gain access to the 40-foot flagpole atop the bell tower's peaked roof.

It took two hours and 10 minutes to lower the frayed ensign and raise a new banner up the flagpole.

Lines, which the wind had wrapped around the tall pole, had to be untangled and the flag had to be guided past metal roofing that the wind had pulled up.

"It's easier to put up. And it's tougher to take down," said City Public Works Commissioner Ken Radliff, who knows the struggles of raising and lowering the flag above the tower, which was built in 1896.

Radliff said Wednesday's 130-minute flag exercise was pretty average in terms of time.

"Definitely a daunting challenge," Steve Valigorsky of Quality Roofing said before leading his team up the narrow stairs that ascend through the tower.

The trip to the top begins with climbing a winding staircase to City Hall's attic. Then it requires walking along the attic gangways into the tower. From there, it's a climb up steep stairs that are really ladders. Along the way to the top, Radliff points out, a Meneely bell hangs.
