Assistance to Teachers and Schools
I've received some emails and calls recently, some in response to discussions started at World Festival two weeks ago and some just out of desperation. Let me summarize the issue here and see if our readers can offer some assistance. While I'm speaking from a USA point-of-view, this discussion certainly has equal concern around the globe.
While FLL is growing and the NXT is constantly being integrated into new classrooms, there are probably more schools that do NOT have access to this technology than schools that do. Some of the issues that have been brought up:
* There are cost barriers - How can we make certain that every school that wants an NXT kit in the classroom can get one? Apple had (or still has) the "An Apple in every classroom" - how could LEGO and/or LEGO Education (L/LE) do the same? Could corporate entities be given a way to sponsor a school or schools? How about individuals? What is in place if I should decide to donate $250+ to "buy" a kit for a school in need?
* There are language barriers (the NXT and software only support English, French, Spanish, and German, I believe) - How could the books, websites, software Help files, and more be more easily translated to other languages? Again, could corporate support fund this? Would L/LE provide source documentation for translation and download to those countries that need materials translated?
* Most teachers didn't major in Computer Science - how can we expect teachers to integrate robotics into their math/science curriculum without some sort of formalized training or more user-friendly documentation? LE is probably stretched thin as it is to offer classes and training to teachers in their respective areas. Where are teachers to obtain training so they, in turn, can pass along those skills to students?
* There are limits to student participation - whether it's the FLL team size of 10 students or just a logistical limit based on class size and availability, how can we ensure that every student who wants to participate in either competitions or math/science classroom projects has equal access? Some schools have one (1!!) NXT kit to go around... it would be interesting if we could figure out the average number of students per NXT kit, but I won't hold my breath. The real question here is how can we make sure that every school has a sufficient number of kits to satisfy classroom demand.
* Is the private sector aware that its future is tied to technology in the classroom? - More and more jobs are requiring a higher-level of education and/or technical-skill level. Many kids grow up being as comfortable holding a computer mouse as they are holding a toy. But again, not all kids. Many corporations are involved in sponsorship, mentoring, and funding of technologies in schools, but again, not all schools are so lucky.
The NXT community is a sub-group of the larger LEGO community, but the level of technology offered by the NXT has the potential here to, quite honestly, make a bigger change in a single student's future than any other LEGO product (IMO). At a minimum, the NXT could spark students' inquisitive natures and instill an urge to learn more about other subjects. Specifically, the NXT can inspire students to dig deeper into math and science (which always seem to be lagging in interest according to the media) and encourage them to pursue engineering studies. But, back to the purpose of this post, there is not equal access for many different reasons.
Advice? Thoughts? Solutions? Please share them here as comments or in the Forum section that I've started here. I've started a new section in the forum where education can meet up with private sector. If you know of grants, scholarships, or sources of funds, please share them. If you know of companies that are extremely supportive of schools, please share that information. If you know of resources, books, websites, or other media that can help teachers, students, parents, and school officials, let us know.

Another problem is finding the right kids. In particular, building with the NXT set is tricky, and many FLL teams struggle to get started with it. See my thoughts and suggestions on this issue as a topic in the forum Jim linked to.

This is a topic that is really close to heart. I honestly believe that the key here are the teachers. There has been research that shows that the careers students pick are largely formed in the middle years of schooling, influenced primarily by their teachers.
These teachers need support in both materials and ongoing training / professional development to show how robotics can be relevant in the classroom.
Unfortunately most industry is yet to see the benefit in investing in students of such an early age. We are just starting to see some companies take interest in Senior school students but by then most kids have made up their mind as to what course they are going to pursue. More comments in the forum.

Could you point me to research indicating that career "imprinting" goes on in the middle school years?
My son is HIGHLY interested in programming and IT development--and he's only 14! (His IQ is 150+ and, trust me, he didn't get it from me).
He wants to take advanced programming and IT-related classes at a vocational school. His mother doesn't want him to "track" himself too early, but this is what he wants to do. (He's also into music performance and choral singing, so he'll be a well-rounded geek). :)
Research about how middle schoolers make their career choices at this age would reassure his mom. (She's supportive of his career direction, but needs reassurance).

For almost 10+ years I worked as a camp counselor for 2-3 weeks each summer with the middle school age range. I don't have any research to back up my claim, but I agree that this seems to be the age group where we can win them or lose them when it comes to encouraging education. It's a tough age, and I've seen how encouragement of this age group can work wonders when the move into the high school years.

As an FLL coach and someone who is directly involved in the organization of the FLL (in Portugal) I think I can help to answer some of your questions.
Please note that these are my own opinions and not the words or ideas of FIRST or LEGO.
LEGO has but the following responsibilities: To manufacture an excellent product, distribute it in the markets they desire, support it responsibly, and treat there own employes and partners ethically. They do a great job on these points.
Your first ideas are great. My suggestion to you is to contact FIRST (www.usfirst.org) and volunteer to help implement your ideas. These types of programs rely on the good ideas of volunteers like yourself.
About the cost: $250 is cheap for a robot (however I would recommend the LE set with the expansion). If you have 5 kids on the team then divide the cost between them and have each kid raise $50. If they really want to participate they can raise the funds. Student fundraising is part of the FLL experience.
The language barrier is slowly being dealt with. Now the new software ships with even more languages. Also, in this day and age if you dont speak English your chance at a technology job is very limited in any country. English is the lingua franca of the technology and science world.
The NXT was designed for 8 year olds, if a teacher cant figure it out, well... Every professional needs to become computer and technology literate, or become obsolete.
The only limits to student participation is desire. It just requires motivated students with competent coaches. I know schools with one official FLL team and 10 other teams that just share the materials but don't go to competitions.
Yes the private sector is aware that they need to do something. Even the governments are somewhat aware of the need. I urge everyone who believes in the power of these programs to write a letter/email to there local/state/federal government to encourage them to support the FIRST LEGO League. Then write FIRST and ask to volunteer. If we cant convince ourselves to participate how can we convince someone else?
- May 16, 2008, 10:53:00 PM
If you already are an FLL volunteer than congratulations. Keep up the good work. :) :)

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas Senate committee's chairman has postponed its debate on Republican Gov. Sam Brownback's proposals to cut income tax rates and scrap two popular deductions for homeowners.
Chairman and Wichita Republican Les Donovan had said the Assessment and Taxation Committee would begin debate Tuesday. The Senate's official calendar mistakenly said hearings would continue.
But Donovan acknowledged that senators want more information about the governor's proposals and are drafting amendments. The debate may not begin until next week.
Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said Republicans are floundering.
Brownback wants to further reduce income tax rates after aggressive cuts last year. But he and lawmakers must find revenue to stabilize the state budget.
Brownback also wants to cancel a drop in the state sales tax scheduled for July.

How do you take an iconic candy that's smaller than the size of a dime and blow it out into a retail store in the middle of Times Square? You use a lot of color. With a set palette and a whole lot of gloss, those tiny M&M'S candies come alive in a world where warm chocolate smells pervade and you can hear that unmistakable sound of candies falling into a bowl. Mix in a handful of interactive experiences, and you've got a 25,000-square-foot candy land where everyone gets a taste of the fun. For designers, it's a textbook case study on effective environmental branding.
To create a contemporary and geometric store design while letting the "spokescandies" do their own storytelling, Mars Inc., which owns M&M'S Brand, hired the Ohio-based Chute Gerdeman design firm after their award-winning work on the M&M'S Orlando store. Brian Shafley, the firm's president and director of creative services, says the key was balancing an iconic expression of the candy's shape, size and color with all the personalities of the "spokescandies," M&M'S Brand's popular advertising characters.
Here, at one of the world's busiest intersections, the project presented challenges of traffic and space, not to mention time: It had to be completed in 11 months to open for holiday shopping. The building has glass facades on three sides, making it a "gigantic fishbowl." With minimal wall space to work with, "the inside became the storefront," says Shafley, who served as the principal on the project.
Making a statement from the street, 17 internally illuminated columns are synced with LED lighting technology, allowing the exterior to continually change color, which is most dramatic after dark. As the entire perimeter radiates light, the store shows off its vivid floor displays to passersby. Keeping up with the varieties of electronic signs on Broadway, a rotating, internally lit sign, shaped like five stacked M&M'S candies, sits beneath a 2,500-square-foot video billboard. Before you even step inside, Shafley notes, the stage is already set. Color became critical to communicating the brand inside and out. The palette was restricted to the "sacred six colors" of M&M'S Brand – red, orange, yellow, green, blue and brown. The Chute Gerdeman team taped M&M'S candies on paper next to the corresponding Pantone colors and then matched the chips to Sherwin-Williams paint colors. Unlike most projects, where colors usually start from scratch, here the challenge lay in staying on brand. "It was so important that we got the right M&M'S colors," says Gerdeman's material and trend specialist Katie Clements. "Even with carpet and flooring, if you wanted to use red, it had to be exactly the right red." Once they chose the exact shades, the search was on for the perfect browns to make the space all the more melt-in-your-mouth chocolaty. In fact, anywhere black paint normally would have appeared, brown was used in its place. The instantly identifiable colors created a cohesive look. Then the trick was applying a variety of finishes, including semi- and high-gloss, to achieve a candy-coated sheen on the giant three-dimensional characters.
"M&M'S is a singular brand with a lot of facets," Shafley says. Therefore it was crucial to reinforce that brand all over the store. The merchandise ranges from T-shirts, housewares and collectibles to the actual candies, which are displayed in 6-foot-tall M&M'S-shaped fixtures. But that's only part of what makes the store highly branded. Everywhere are reminders of how big the name is and how much fun you can have with it. A full-size M&M'S #38 NASCAR race car makes speedway sounds. Nearby, the Color Mood Analyzer, a machine that Chute Gerdeman created, "scans" you and tells you in a comical computerized voice what M&M'S color you are.
Throughout the building, color acts as a metaphor for diversity, while "the world's biggest wall of chocolate," measuring 50 feet by 22 feet, strengthens that message. Here, two stories display 72 M&M'S-candyfilled tubes where customers can create their own personal mix. Playing off the United Nations, a wall covered with international flags encourages customers to make a one-of-a-kind mix using their country's colors. The price is $9 a pound, but where else can you take home a custom bag of M&M'S candies representing Italy, the Red Sox or your alma mater?
"This is a chance for people to immerse themselves in all things M&M'S," says Phil Levine, a spokesperson for the Mars Retail Group. Call it environmental branding, retail therapy or "retail-tainment," he calls the flagship store a destination where customers can connect with their favorite M&M'S candy – and we all have one. "People are devoted to their favorite M&M'S color," he says. "The store does its best to reflect that dedication."

|Kosher Nation by Sue Fishkoff
Why More and More of America's Food Answers to a Higher Authority
More and more Americans are buying kosher, seeking kosher and eating kosher. The new book Kosher Nation, by Sue Fishkoff (Schocken Books), traces the growth of kosher certification in America. No longer is kosher just a holy way of eating for a small population of observant Jews; it is big business, booming big business.
Fishkoff provides a detailed history of kosher in America; where it's been and where it seems to be heading. She reports that most kosher certified products are now manufactured not by small Jewish owned companies, but by mainstream multinational corporations such as Nestle, Kraft, General Foods, etc. "Kosher food is big and growing fast, increasing at twice the rate of non–kosher. Nearly one–third of all new food products in the country are now kosher certified."
The book points out that the tipping point likely came early in the 1990's, when companies such as Entenmanns, Nabisco, and Godiva went kosher for first time, which produced a snowball effect. Later in the 1990s came the pièce de résistance for kosher eaters, none other than the kosher Oreo. And then even the White House kitchen went kosher for the first time, in 2005, for the president's annual Chanukah party. There are a growing number of kosher restaurants throughout the U.S. offering untraditional foods but trendy kosher equivalents, "the same organic greens, fine (kosher) wine and seared tuna as non–kosher."
Some remarkable statistics contained in Kosher Nation:
According to Fishkoff, in the meat industry, kosher certification does act as a safeguard to good health. For beef to be certified as kosher, the animal must have no diseases or physical flaws. "Downers, cows who cannot walk, are not permitted but do make it into the non–kosher meat supply."
Changing attitudes:
Some of the latest mega companies to go kosher are Tootsie, Jelly Belly and Gatorade. Major hotels, stadiums, cruise ships have kosher options; there are kosher vending machines in airports and colleges. Kosher Passover trips are plentiful – kosher options are everywhere and growing!
In Kosher Nation we learn that until 1935 the OU, the Orthodox Union, was the only agency offering nationally recognized supervision. The OK kosher agency was created in 1935, and then Kof-K and Star-K. These are known as the "big four" and certify most of the food in the U.S. However, by 2009 there were more than 1,000 individual rabbis and organizations offering their own heckshers (certification marks). In addition, there has been some consolidation and buyouts in the field. For example, just a few years ago, the OU bought the Half Moon K.
Fishkoff tackles the issues of bagged greens, the monitoring of bug infestation in fruits and vegetables, the emergence of small companies producing more ethical and natural kosher meat and poultry, the birth of eco–kosher activists, the rivalry among kosher agencies, the spread of global kosher production, kosher "scandals" and the expansion of availability of fine kosher wines.
The book is fascinating. A very readable page–turner for those interested in kosher. It is a must read and an important library addition for anyone interested in the history, trends and facts about the business of kosher in America. And, if you read it you will better understand why kosher products really do answer to a higher authority.
Read more of our Conversation with Sue Fishkoff. Kosher Nation is available on Amazon.com.

The USDA has released its July World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.
Projected 2013/14 U.S. feed grain supplies are lowered this month with
reduced beginning stocks for corn and sorghum and lower forecast harvested areas for corn and
sorghum. Corn beginning stocks for 2013/14 are projected 40 million
bushels lower.
Projected U.S. wheat supplies for 2013/14 are raised slightly this month with lower
beginning stocks more than offset by higher production.
Stay tuned for a breakdown of the report on Friday morning at 8:10 a.m. with Ted...

Dislike Taste, Not Certified Organic
27 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer3268842 on Jun 15, 2010
Stupid me, didn't carefully research this before buying. This product is Organic Compliant, not Certified Organic and apparently refers to the enzymes used to extract the protein which is organic, not the brown rice. The product advertises winning the Editor's Choice award. That was from naturalnews dot com, and 2 years ago. Since then, editor Mike Adams seems less enthusiastic and is touting the Boku Super Protein which is Certified Organic and further tested for heavy metals, pesticides, E-coli and other contaminants, but is sweetened with maple syrup (bit of a drawback) instead of stevia (depends on how much is too much). Wish I'd seen the article before ordering this. This product makes no such claims so its a matter of how picky you are about organics and contaminant testing. The taste of this product was a big disappointment. The stevia is very strong and sickly sweet. The fermented flavor stinks (some call it malty, its worse, I normally like malty, this is slightly rank) and the consistency is chalky. Maybe mixing it with cocoa will hide the smell, or lots of berries. Lesson for me - Never buy something in bulk before trying a sample. I prefer straight hemp to this.

Terrible taste and does not blend well with liquid
Posted by 5567112701740219067 on Feb 01, 2014
Although the shipping was really fast and I'm really satisfied with Iherb and I will buy again, the taste of this product is terrible, it doesn't mix well with water and it has a grainy texture. Absolutely the worst.

Will Liberals Prove to Be the Real Anti-Mormons?
When the potential for anti-Mormonism harming Mitt Romney's candidacy is discussed, it's usually evangelical Christians we're talking about, since they have traditionally had the greatest antipathy toward Mormonism (some of them, at least). But what about liberals? Peter Beinart argues that by the time this election is over, they're going to evince more anti-Mormonism:
One reason Democrats may be more anti-Mormon than Republicans is that Democrats, on average, are more secular. Devout Protestants, Catholics, and Jews may be more tolerant of Mormonism because they understand from firsthand experience the comfort and strength that religious commitment brings. Many secular Democrats, by contrast, may start with the assumption that religious orthodoxy produces irrationality and intolerance.
I'm a little skeptical that devout believers of other religions are going to be more tolerant of Mormonism "because they understand from firsthand experience the comfort and strength that religious commitment brings." If that were the case, we would never have had any religious conflicts at all. As for secular Democrats turning against Mormonism because of "the assumption that religious orthodoxy produces irrationality and intolerance," well, sure. But secular people think most, if not all religions produce irrationality (usually) and intolerance (often). Mormonism is nothing special there. And those of us who don't believe in any gods long ago made peace with the fact that our only choices for president will be believers of one religion or another.
I'm sure that every once in a while during this campaign, a Democrat is going to say something mean about Mormonism in general or Mitt Romney's Mormonism in particular (it has already happened). And I wouldn't be surprised if over time more liberals begin to answer poll questions about Mormon candidates more negatively, and conservatives begin answering more positively. Because now, when respondents are asked, "Would you vote for a Mormon for president?", the first image that pops into their minds will be Mitt Romney. The answers they give may say as much about their feelings about him as about their feelings about his religion.
Beinart argues that individual Mormons should bear no more responsibility for their church's views on things like gay rights than individual Catholics should bear for the Vatican's views. Which is true enough, but Mormons are less familiar to Americans than adherents of other faiths. You probably know a dozen different kind of Catholics: some who long ago rejected the Vatican, some who go to mass but disagree with the church on lots of things, some who take the Pope's word on faith, etc. But since most of us don't know lots of kinds of Mormons, many will conclude that there must only be two types: those who are still tied to the church and are therefore supportive of all of its beliefs and activities, and those who have left it behind. If those were the only two choices, Mitt Romney would be the first kind. As one liberal Mormon described it in a Boston Globe article from last year, "Normally it's either all in or all out - that's both how Mormons view themselves, and that's how people view Mormons."
Mitt Romney is now basically the ambassador to America from the LDS church, for better or worse. But he's going to stay pretty quiet about the particulars of his beliefs and practices, which means that his candidacy won't tell people much about his faith. One big question is whether the feelings people project onto the religion from their feelings about Romney persist after this campaign.

I think most liberals would like to know more about Mormonism. Now that the Mormons are having their moment in the Spotlight. Would you please consider doing a series of articles?
Of particular interest:
A) The Book of Abraham / Joseph Smith Papyrus
B) Discrepancies in the first revelation story. (Was it a Spanish Pirate or a Host of Angels or God and Jesus)
C) Joseph Smith's Magic Rock in a Hat Trick (How did he write that "Chloroform in Print"?)
D) The plethora of other problems with the Book of Mormon - Like Plagiarism from the KJV Bible - translation errors, scribe notes and all. Or perhaps the complete lack of Archaeological and Scientific evidence?
E) The Kinderhook Plates
F) Introduction of Polygamy (Anything to do with the Maid in the Barn?)
G) Racism - With a living breathing prophet receiving direct revelation from God. Why did it take until 1978 to stop the discrimination and segregation of Black people? (14 Years after the Civil Rights act of 1964 banning discrimination of Black people and yet just days before the Deadline President Carter gave which threatened to remove the Church's tax exempt status)
H) Sacred Temple Ceremonies - lifted directly from the Free Masons.
The list is endless. You could certainly fill a few pages between now and November.
The American people need to know all about Mitt Romney's religion. After all he did swear a sacred Oath to give his time, talents, and means to the Lord's work as called upon by his leaders.
Thu, 2012-04-26 09:17
The authors of the book American Grace are social scientists at Harvard and Notre Dame who have conducted extensive research about the state of religious belief in America and how it relates to politics and other aspects of society. Their conclusion about the Romney election campaign is that the part where his religion was a disadvantage is largely behind him, in the primary contests. They think that in the general election, the Evangelicals who would not prefer a Mormon will nevertheless support him against Obama, who is considered much more threatening to their values, and recent polling has shown that to be the case. In the general election, the secularists who have strong negative feelings about a Mormon candidate would have the same feelings about an Evangelical Christian candidate or a conservative Catholuc candidate (Santorum) who acts like an Evangelical. Being Mormon will not make any essential difference for them, and it will be a contest over public policy rather than religious identity.
The Obama campaign says it is not gping to attack Romney's religion, which is wise because it is the same religion as Obama's main ally in Congress, Harry Reid, who is also a devout Mormon. Reid and his Jewish wife converted when they were in college. Obama also does not want people thinking about the fact that his father was a Muslim polygamist in Kenya and his stepfather was a Muslim in Indonesia who believed you should eat (endangered) tiger to acquire its characteristics.

There's a lot any non mormon could say negatively about the LDS church, but it would mostly be about their beliefs being non main stream christian(?). Having lived in Utah for a couple of decades I have found mormons to be generous with the poor ( often in exchange for work), fiscally smart without resorting to hacking social services, and mostly good stewards of the land. They have some bad things in their past but mostly those have been corrected.
Thu, 2012-04-26 22:04
I have been told by more devout "Christians" that Mormons are dangerous than any liberal has. While one can question whether or not they are true Christians, they do have a right to practice their beliefs. Some would think worshiping a carpenter who lived 2000 years ago a bit silly.
Mon, 2012-08-06 19:42
I wonder what the reaction would be if more people realized two of the "teachings" of mormonism, which show that it is clearly a racist sect: 1) mormons believe that the "negro" race (yes, "negro") is the "mark of Cain;" and 2) according to the book of mormon, American Indians rejected Jesus when He appeared before them some 2,000 years ago. As a result, neither race is asked to go on "missions" for this highly fabricated church. Would you consider such people "latter day saints?"

In this article, we will be talking both about the theoretical stuff you need to keep in mind when using Facebook marketing to better your business and also about some practical things that you should employ in order to make it all run as smoothly as possible. Of course, Facebook marketing is such a huge field of expertise that these will not necessarily make you the biggest thing on Facebook ever, but these will definitely help your business and help you run your business.
The first thing that we would like you to keep in mind that Facebook marketing, just like any other aspect of your business is all about hard work. There are people who think that just because they started a Facebook page they are done and that money will start pouring in. The fact is that Facebook marketing is an ongoing process and that you will need to a lot some time pretty much every day to it. Only by doing this can you be certain that you will reap all the benefits of Facebook marketing.
Of course, you will not be able to make it without a Facebook page for your business or the services you provide. It may seem that there is not much that you can do to make it unique, the truth is that everything can be customized to better represent your business and that the Facebook page of your business falls into this category as well. For instance, if you are advertising fishing equipment, it does not mean that you need to put a couple of photos of the hooks and baits that you sell. Put a beautiful picture of a Coral Reef somewhere exotic, get people interested from the get go.
We cannot stress enough how important original content is. And it is not just pictures. It is also videos, maybe articles that you wrote or that you find elsewhere. You can even link stuff from other websites and so on. It is important that you keep people interested, that they stay on your page and that they have the wish to return, wondering what they will see the next time they visit.
If you can make it, you should also keep in touch with as many customers and clients that you have. That is in fact the whole idea behind Facebook marketing- being able to communicate with your customers and being able to respond to their input. This will not only make your Facebook marketing efforts more successful but it will also be of huge help for your business in general.
You should also check out what other pages from your niche or industry have to offer. It is always good to get in touch with those people but also to make your mark on other people's websites. If you have interesting information, or anything that might be of any interest to people visiting those other pages, you should make sure people see it and hopefully come and visit your page.

Film Review: It's Complicated
11:59 PM — It sure is complicated. This comedy love triangle comes from perhaps the best female-perspective comedy director in the business: Nancy Meyers. With an acclaimed CV of hits including The Holiday; What Women Want; and Something's Gotta Give, to her name you know you're in safe hands when you sit down to watch her latest Hollywood blockbuster offering. The cast list is nothing to be sneered at either as the Meyers name manages to snare the likes of Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin onto the film set. The results speak for themselves and it proves that if you want to make waves in a genre that is rarely taken too seriously by serious film buffs then the least you can do is call in the acting cavalry.

Trumbull News Detail
Professors Awarded Grant to Develop New MRI Contrast AgentsPosted Aug. 26, 2011
Professors Songping Huang (PI) and Soumitra Basu (co-PI), both of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, have received a research grant from the National Cancer Institute at the NIH to develop a new generation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. The new MRI contrast agents will be derived from the nontoxic Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles and promise to be superior to the current clinical MRI contrast agents that use the toxic-heavy metal gadolinium. These new MRI contrast agents have been shown to penetrate cells and may be useful for early detection of cancer at the cellular level. PB nanoparticles may also be used as non-viral vectors to carry small drug molecules into cells for drug delivery applications. The grant, entitled, "Prussian Blue Nanoparticles as Cellular T1 MRI Contrast Agents," will be funded at the level of ca. $654,000 over three years.

Radioactive mosquitoes blamed for contaminated bird droppings at Sellafield nuclear site
Last updated at 12:39, Monday, 11 June 2012
Radioactive mosquitoes are being blamed after contaminated swallow droppings were discovered at Sellafield.
An Environment Agency report revealed that bird droppings from around the swallow nesting site were found to be radioactively contaminated.
It is believed the swallows, which are nesting in the transport section at the atomic complex, were contaminated by eating mosquitoes which fly above Sellafield's radioactive storage ponds.
A spokesman for the plant said checks at the nesting area showed the radiation dose was the "indistinguishable from natural background radiation found in any work place, on or off a nuclear site". An anti-nuclear spokesman, however, said the birds were carrying "a highly toxic message" back to South Africa when they migrate at the end of the summer.
Sellafield said the radiation level was so low it did not require any protective clothing to be worn and said they were putting in place measures to reduce the birds' access to certain facilities.
"Sellafield Ltd is aware of the potential issue for birds to become contaminated with low levels of radioactivity as a result of historic operations at Sellafield," a spokesman added.
"Monitoring and analysis has shown that the contamination poses no threat to health as there is no direct pathway for exposure to members of the public."
Martin Forwood, of Cumbrians Opposed to a Radioactive Environment (CORE), said the "much-loved and now radioactive birds" – and their offspring – would be "unwittingly carrying a highly toxic message from Sellafield".
He said they wanted more information on the radiation levels.
It is not the first time birds have got campaigners in a flap at Sellafield.
Two years ago, seagull eggs were destroyed at the site to control the bird population amid radiation fears.
And in 2008, 39 birds were poisoned on the site, following concerns that they had been swimming in open ponds containing radioactive waste.

UFC shuts down illegal PPV stream, seizes website records and threatens to prosecute viewers
If you're one of the scurvy pirates who illegally streamed the UFC 169 pay-per-view (PPV) event, you might want to start planning your getaway.
That's because ZUFFA, parent company of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has successfully shut down www.cagewatcher.eu, a website busted for streaming live video feeds, free of charge, to those mixed martial arts (MMA) fans who were too cheap to pay for them.
You know who you are!
In addition, the combat sports promotion will "vigorously pursue" individual users with the help of Lonstein Law Office, after obtaining a list of email addresses, IP addresses, and user names stored in the website's database, which can be used to identify infringers.
From today's release:
Lonstein Law Office has successfully prosecuted hundreds of claims for the UFC organization for sites illegally streaming content and individual users since 2007. UFC's status as the industry leader in pay-per-view television has helped it become a leader in cracking down on companies and individuals watching and facilitating the watching of pay-per-view events online, without paying.
This is not the first time ZUFFA has gone after its fans.

Hey guys.
Most of you probably know those rather fun games that are going on in some forums, where a person starts a story by writing 3 or 4 words. Then the next forum poster continues the story with 3 or 4 words as well. I thought that concept would be cool to make a site for, so I started the project Fablelane.
It's in a private alpha right now, and I am in need of testing.
Here's a Neowin story I made that you can help me contribute to.
For those too lazy to go see it (and I can relate to that, trust me), here's a screenshot that shows the design of the front page.
Now, since it's a beta, there's some stuff that is flawed. For instance, you can double-post as much as you like as it is right now. Please don't do that, and wait for other people to have a chance of contributing before you make your contribution too.
As for the Facebook authentication, you don't have to sign in. You can post anonymously. If you choose to sign in, we won't spam you, nor will we ever post things on your wall. We respect Facebook's own developer guidelines.

FUSE makes it possible to implement a filesystem in a userspace program. Features include: simple yet comprehensive API, secure mounting by non-root users, support for 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels, multi-threaded operation. etc...
User Ratings
User Reviews
It would just need a clean/readable API documentation to get five stars (I gave four). A comment aside: I wish file systems was designed with abstract data source in mind instead of just hard storage in mind (and thus, for all OS)… but that's another story.
Thank you for your work.
Thanks for updates ;)
good system
Please add this link: hg.sharesource.org/fuse4win to "Operating Systems" wiki page. It is FUSE API implementation for Windows platform using Dokan framework. (stable enough: ntfs-3g is said to be working)

Report by Kiki Georgiou on 2 October 2012.
Riccardo Tisci is a good Catholic guy at heart, isn't he? Underneath all that gothic black, street edge and those scary German Shepherds, lies an altar boy still fascinated by the mysteries of church. Aren't we all? The giant organ plunked on one side of the catwalk (the other end made do with a mere DJ booth) said it all. Riccardo was taking us to church and these were some mean Sunday bests!
Riccardo Tisci was giving handsome Americana at his bow at Givenchy: denim shirt, mustache. Like an Italian version of Hemingway. #PFW

A veteran Chicago fire lieutenant who is serving a lengthy prison sentence for beating his second wife to death has been receiving a pension check from the city that has amounted to $840,000 since his incarceration.
Eugene Ornstead, 76, applied for his firefighter's pension days after he committed the murder, the station reported. He is not eligible for parole until he is 100.
In 1994, the veteran Chicago fire department lieutenant beat his second wife to death in their home, MyFoxChicago.com reported. Then, he stuffed her body in the trunk of his car and drove to Racine County, Wis., where he told police they had been kidnapped.
Before his conviction on first-degree murder charges, Ornstead resigned from active duty in a handwritten letter and put in for his pension, reminding the fire department he's still owed his furlough and mileage checks.
Documents show Ornstead receives more in his pension check because he is considered a "sole survivor," the station reported.

Kofi Kingston made his return recently with a new look and all that. However, does anybody find him exciting, intriguing, or even interesting? Same role, same position for the past several years in the midcard chasing championships he has won with the same old smile and the boom boom boom. I was thinking why don't Kofi turn heel for the first time in his career. Make a huge impact while doing so on
Overall: 6
Overview: This weeks Raw was Eh on a scale from whatever to okay. Usually, a Raw like this would be good, but after the past three post PPV Raws, this one fell stale. Again, the only story that got pushed was Triple H's power hungry ego one but they did a nice job doing it.
Opening Segment: Well, everybody saw this coming.
Welcome to the first ever edition of the WWE Outside the Box blog series with Anthony_Eckman and mr. onemanband. Think PTI, only with hair.
We are very excited about this and hope you guys will enjoy it.

Mississippi State volleyball coach Jenny Hazelwood couldn't help but think of what might have been if only her team had entered Sunday's match against the 18th-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteers with a little more focus, commitment and execution.
The Bulldogs held one of the strongest hitting teams in the Southeastern Conference to a .198 percentage, but only hit .025 themselves in dropping a 3-0 decision at the Newell-Grissom Building.
Even though Mississippi State has come a long way since August, Hazelwood said the squad is still working through "the inconsistencies" that are keeping it from reaching its potential.
"Anytime we can get one of the top offensive teams in our conference to hit .198, going into this match, I would have said that's a pretty good thing," Hazelwood said. "We just didn't get it done and there were things in the scouting report we told them to look for and we just failed to see that through."
The Bulldogs saw their records fall to 10-9 overall and 5-5 in the SEC.
After dropping the first set 25-19, Mississippi State saw Tennessee win seven of the last nine points coming out of a timeout in the second set to win 25-18.
The Bulldogs took the lead six times in the final set and were much more competitive before the Lady Vols earned a 28-26 victory.
"We'll take this 3-0 win and run with it because I didn't want it to go four sets or five," said Tennessee coach Rob Patrick, who is now 22-1 against MSU. "I'm excited about the way we closed out the match.
"I thought Mississippi State played a really good match. They are a team that normally doesn't make very many errors. I told my team that if we are going to score points, we're going to have to score them because they are not going to give us that many points and I think what happened was we played at a very high level on our side. I was very pleased with how we played, especially defensively."
Kelsey Robinson, who won national player of the week honors last week, had a double-double with 13 kills and 12 digs for the Lady Vols.
Hillary Parker led the Bulldogs with 19 digs, while Hannah Wilkinson, Lainey Wyman and Caitlin Rance had seven kills each.
Mississippi State hits the road Friday with a match at South Carolina, a team it beat at home 3-2 on Sept. 18.
"We're sitting in a good place and we've got some of the tougher teams coming here," Hazelwood said. "We've got a good stretch coming up that if we can build on the good things from this weekend that can really help us in SEC play."

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Wednesday, November 14, 8 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Scheumann Stadium (22,500) -- Muncie, Indiana. Television: ESPNU. Home Record: Ohio 5-1, BSU 3-1. Away Record: Ohio 3-1, BSU 4-2. Neutral Record: Ohio 0-0, BSU 0-0. Conference Record: Ohio 4-2, BSU 4-2. Series Record: Ball State leads, 14-8.
GAME NOTES: The Ball State Cardinals look for their fifth win in a row as they host the Ohio University Bobcats for Mid-American Conference action at Scheumann Stadium.
Ohio's dream season which featured a 7-0 start and an appearance in the top 25 seems like a distant memory after it lost for the second time in three games last Wednesday. In front of their own Peden Stadium crowd, the Bobcats were held to a season-low of 244 yards of total offense by Bowling Green in their 26-14 loss to the Falcons. Due to the recent slump, Ohio trails Kent State by two games in the East Division standings with just two left to play.
Ball State has been one of the toughest teams in the MAC this season. The Cardinals extended their winning streak to four games last Tuesday by upsetting Toledo, 34-27, on the road to kick the Rockets out of the top 25. Their only two losses in league action this season came courtesy of Kent State and Northern Illinois, who are both undefeated in MAC games entering this week. Coach Pete Lembo's squad defeated a pair of programs from BCS Conferences (South Florida, Indiana) on the way to becoming bowl eligible for the second straight year.
Although they are coming off a terrible performance, the Bobcats still have one of the top offenses in the MAC, ranking fourth in rushing (208.6 ypg) and fourth overall (440.4 ypg).
Junior quarterback Tyler Tettleton has been sensational under center for Ohio since being named the starter. Tettleton became the school's all-time leading passer last week against Bowling Green. He has passed for 2,045 yards and 16 TDs with just two interceptions in nine games this season. He has completed 61.5 percent of his attempts (171-of-278) and produced four rushing touchdowns as well.
Tettleton keeps the opposition guessing consistently by spreading the ball around. Ten different Bobcats have at least 100 receiving yards with Donte Foster pacing the group with 518 yards and seven TDs on 42 receptions.
The Bobcats have relied heavily on Beau Blankenship to move the chains this season. The junior tailback is third in the MAC in rushing with 1,194 yards on 243 carries. Blankenship has been slowing down as the season wears on. After rushing for 100 yards or more in his first five games, Blankenship has surpassed the century mark in just one of five games since.
Ryan Boykin has become a viable second option recently. The junior tailback has carried the ball 10 or more times in four consecutive games. His best performance came on Nov. 1 when he amassed 128 yards and a score on 18 touches on the Eagles.
The Bobcats appear to have regained their defensive tenacity. Despite the loss, Ohio held Bowling Green to 288 yards of total offense last week. It was just the second time this season an opponent has failed to reach the 300-yard mark against the Bobcats.
Junior linebacker Keith Moore has been the heart and soul of the defense and has recorded a team-best 80 total tackles, which is 33 more than anyone else on the roster. Neal Huynh is an aggressive lineman and has compiled eight tackles for loss. Jelani Woseley has made seven tackles for loss as well and two of the team's nine interceptions.
Ball State's success this season is largely due to its dynamic offense which is second in the MAC with 470.5 yards per game. The only team to hold the Cardinals under 400 total yards of offense this season was Clemson.
BSU has an elite weapon out of the backfield in tailback Jahwan Edwards, who ranks sixth in the MAC with an average of 105.4 yards per game. Edwards became a campus hero when he scored a 15-yard go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter to help BSU down Toledo last week. He finished with 105 yards on 16 attempts for his fourth straight game with 100 yards or more. The sophomore tailback has accumulated 1,054 yards and 10 TDs on 183 carries this season.
Ball State also has an able passing attack with Keith Wenning under center. The junior quarterback went 29-of-42 for 280 yards with three touchdowns and the same number of interceptions in last week's triumph over Toledo. On the season, Wenning has completed 64.7 percent of his passes for 2,705 yards with 20 touchdowns to 10 interceptions. Wenning will become the program's all-time leader in completions with his next one.
Wenning has a pair of reliable targets in Willie Snead and Jamill Smith. Snead is tied for 10th in the FBS and first in the MAC with 7.3 receptions per game. He has league best totals of 73 receptions and 946 yards. Smith has made 64 catches for 670 yards and six scores.
Ball State's defensive unit is not on par with its offense. Last week, the Cardinals gave up 526 total yards to Toledo. The Rockets gained 330 yards on the ground just a week after Army rushed for 350 yards on BSU. The Cardinals' defense clearly has plenty of work to do as it is ranked 108th out of 120 FBS teams with an allowed average of 471.3 ypg.
Travis Freeman (107 tackles) and Tony Martin (63 tackles) are both key players on the defensive side of the ball. Freeman is tied for eighth in the FBS and is tied for second in the MAC in tackles. Jonathan Newsome leads the team with 9.5 tackles for loss and six sacks.
Although Ohio is in a bit of a slump, it is still a dangerous opponent with Tettleton and Blankenship starring on the offensive side of the ball. The Bobcats are very good against opposing rushing attacks, while BSU mimics a revolving door on tackles. The Cardinals will need a huge performance out of Wenning to keep their winning streak alive.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Ohio University 31, Ball State 28
