About the course
If you've got an undergraduate degree and are passionate about training to become a secondary school Business Education teacher, then studying our PGCE Secondary Education with QTS (Business Education) could be for you. You'll develop your subject specialist knowledge alongside hands-on classroom experience.
A significant amount of your learning will take place whilst on placement within one of our partnership schools. You'll benefit from being able to observe experienced teachers, gain practical hands-on experience and mentoring to help you develop into an outstanding and successful teacher.
Business Education is a popular curriculum subject which includes economics, accounting, business law and communications. It concerns the business aspects of organisations within their economic, political and social contexts including legal and human rights and the significance of the media along with the wider issues of global responsibility and interdependence.
Our course is designed to prepare you to teach in secondary school settings. Successful completion of your PGCE course prepares you to start your first teaching year (NQT year) within a secondary school or 16-19 setting.

Course content
The course is a one year postgraduate certificate in secondary education. The programme is divided into two main themes:
Initial Professional Development You'll have the opportunity to explore creative ways to interpret your knowledge into a language a child can understand. We help prepare you for the classroom, allowing you to develop your own thinking, teaching and subject knowledge base to a level which you can trial in your placements. Themes include educational psychology, how young people learn, behaviour management, assessment, inclusion, creative and innovative teaching methods and designing learning. You research theories of child development, gain a greater understanding of current professional issues in secondary schools and develop your own educational philosophy.
Business Education Specialist Subject Pedagogy You'll have the opportunity to develop your subject teaching in a stimulating way, using different methodologies and new technologies to inspire and engage young people. We'll help develop your understanding of the Business curriculum and examination requirements; understand the importance of case studies, applying business theory to real life companies; how to assess students' work and how to use ICT in your lessons.You'll have the opportunity to learn from outstanding practitioners as well as working collaboratively to developresources and strategies for teaching a range of Business Studies topics aimed at a GCSE and A Level audience.
Curriculum Development
This module provides a structured opportunity for you to develop the ability to plan sequences of lessons which support pupils' learning and progress in the context of a curriculum subject. It seeks to introduce you to the principles of curriculum design, medium and short term planning and how to monitor and evaluate the impact on pupils' learning. You'll choose a focus for your assignment which develops an understanding of subject pedagogy in relation to a particular curriculum topic; the use of equipment or technology to enhance teaching and learning; or the use of a particular teaching and learning strategy related to current educational research. Assessment is typically via the development of a theoretically underpinned unit of work, lesson plans and resources for a sequence of lessons and critically evaluating the impact of the chosen strategies on pupils' learning.
Developing Critical Professional Practice in Secondary Education
This module seeks to develop your professional practice as a teacher and you'll undertake two sustained teaching placements in two schools. You'll learn a range of teaching and learning strategies informed by current research and gradually develop your independent practice through reflection, target setting and continual evaluation and refinement. You'll evaluate the impact of your teaching on pupils' progress and engagement and demonstrate your ability to meet the Teachers' Standards. Assessment is typically through the presentation of a portfolio of evidence against the standards and a synoptic critical evaluation demonstrating the impact of your teaching on the learners' progress over time.
Inclusion, Equality and Diversity
This module seeks to introduce you to the barriers to inclusion and equality of opportunity that children and families may encounter and to the inclusive teaching and learning strategies informed by current research which are designed to overcome these. Working with your University tutor and subject/professional mentors during your school experience, you'll identify an appropriate case study for your assessment task which helps you to focus on one pertinent aspect of inclusion and demonstrate your impact on the learning and progress of a pupil or group of pupils through your developing inclusive practice.
Specialist Subject Development
This module seeks to examine the pedagogy and practice involved within the teaching of a specialist subject at two or more key stages within the 11-19 age range. The module addresses pedagogy and practice of teaching and learning informed by current research in your subject area and provides you with the opportunity to synthesise theory and practice during your teaching placement. You'll analyse policy and practice related to your subject within the secondary curriculum and be encouraged to further develop your subject knowledge, skills and understanding. Assessment is typically via the submission of a portfolio which may include a subject audit and development, a critical account of the places of your specialist subject in the curriculum and evidence demonstrating successful teaching in the specialist subject.

We will only change core modules for a course if it is necessary for us to do so, for example to maintain course accreditation. We will let you know about any such changes as soon as possible, usually before you begin the relevant academic year.
Sometimes we have to make changes to other aspects of a course or how it is delivered. We only make these changes if they are for reasons outside of our control, or where they are for our students' benefit. Again, we will let you know about any such changes as soon as possible, usually before the relevant academic year.

Total group turnover has rocketed more than five fold, from £103.3m in recession-ravaged 2009, to £524.8m by 31 December 2010.
The group is expected to have been buoyed by double-digit growth in advertising revenues across its newspaper and magazine division, which incorporates The Express and Daily Star, OK! Magazine, new! and Star.
However, Desmond's team is particular keen to highlight the contribution Channel 5 has had on operations.
In what internal sources have termed "a transforming year" for Northern & Shell, the acquisition of Channel 5 for £99.1m last summer is already said to be "paying its way", following an £11m restructure.
Further details have not been provided, but the group claims once exceptional items are taken into account, which can be largely attributed to about £10m spent on voluntary redundancy, the broadcaster has been "profitable in its own right since September 2010".
The broadcaster is tipped to have contributed roughly half of the group's gross profit.
The claim that Channel 5 has been able to trade with underlying profits just three months after former chief executive Dawn Airey, and previous owner RTL, relinquished control appears to be evidence, yet again, of Desmond's ability to improve a business' margins.
That it coincided with a wider advertising recovery cannot be overlooked, nor should the fact that despite the strong recovery, Northern & Shell's pre-tax profits for 2010 remain below the £41m it achieved in 2008, before it acquired Channel 5.
A spokesman for Desmond stressed the addition of Channel 5 has enabled the group to attain "significant synergies" throughout its expanded media operations
Increasingly, Northern & Shell's commercial operations are said to be landing multiplatform ad campaigns across the group.
Group trading in general, and Channel 5's contribution led by Nick Bampton in particular, is expected to receive a further boost this summer when the broadcaster resurrects reality TV show Big Brother, starting with a Celebrity Big Brother series in mid-August.
It will be followed by a non-celebrity Big Brother, which will run for approximately three months.
Robert Sanderson, finance director at Northern & Shell, said: "The significant step changes we have made to the business in the last year leave us well placed to further improve our financial performance and to build on our broader media interests."
Northern & Shell is also set to unveil a new state-of-the-art print plant in Luton towards the end of 2011 for all its portfolio of titles. The entrepreneur could be looking at expanding his interests into contract publishing too, to maximise his return on investment.
The move comes despite speculation that Desmond has had many of his print assets valued recently, including the Daily Express and OK! Magazine.
A spokesman said: "Yes, everyone knows he can be very good at cutting-costs, but what's less acknowledged is how he's also been an incredible investor.
"Express Newspapers has continued to recognise the financial constraints on its recession-hit readers by promoting its titles through cover-price reductions and discounts at a cost of £43m.
"In recent months the company has also purchased The Health Lottery, which is scheduled to launch later this year."
Despite the investment, Northern & Shell was operating with £91.7m of cash on the balance sheet at 31 December 2010.
Last year, the media baron pledged to invest £1.5bn in Channel 5 over the next five years.

She hadn't seen that god-forsaken house in suburban New Jersey in four years. Now she stood in front of it, trying to talk her self out of walking up to the front door and ringing the doorbell. Harp had grown up here. Her mother had put her into music and ballet classes and dressed her in preppy clothes. Her mother had done everything to keep her daughter in a bubble, but Harp never enjoyed it.
But then the monsters came; soon after: the satyrs. Then everything was reviled; everything changed. Harp was claimed as quickly as her other brothers and sisters, and moved into cabin 7, Apollo's cabin. Harp was free. Free of point shoes and tutus. Free of the instruments she had no desire to play. Free of the preppy cloths.
She had music she loved. Rock and roll. Every artist from Elvis to Bon Jovi; the Beatles to ACDC. She had found a passion.
Harp, at thirteen years old, ditched her American eagle and Gap Cloths, and traded them in for Hot Topic. She died her dirty blood hair jet black with purple streaks. She began playing the drums. She changed her name from Wendy to Harp, and she never went back.
Harp told her mother that she was going to stay at camp all year after that first summer. She didn't talk to her mother again.
Now, after four years, a war was coming. There was a possibility of death, and Harp didn't want to leave this life without seeing her mother one more time.
She forced her self to walk to the front door, and ring the bell. When the door opened her mother was there smiling.
She's got a smile that it seems to me/ Reminds me of childhood memories/ Where everything / was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Her mother's smile went to a look of confusion. "Do I know you?"
Harp was filled with hurt. "I've only been gone for four years
"Can I come in?"
Harp's mother moved out of the way and let her daughter in the house. The interior had changed. The green carpet that Harp despised was gone and replaced with hard wood floors, the family room was painted red, and the kitchen wallpaper had gone from some strange apple pattern to a nice coat of light brown paint.
"What are you doing here?" Harp's mother asked.
there is going to be a war
and I might
well, I just didn't want to leave with out saying good-bye." Harp tried; tried not to cry. But she failed. Her mother pulled her into a hug as Harp sobbed on her shoulder.
Harp had finished crying almost as quickly as she had started and she pulled away from her mother.
Harp's mother led her into the living room and gestured for her to sit on the couch next to her, but Harp refused the offer and remained standing. She scanned the photos lining the mantle place. There were pictured from her first birthday, her dance recitals, here kindergarten graduation, and so on. "I don't understand why you did it." Harp said after a few minutes of silence.
"Do what?"
"Conceal me in some preppy, school girl bubble all my life."
"I didn't want you to end up like me. Pregnant at nineteen, not completely sure who the father is, not getting a good education, and still depending on your parents for most things. Wendy, I just wanted
"Don't' call me that. People call me Harp now."
"Harp, I have never been more hurt then when you told me you weren't coming home."
Harp looked at her mother, "I shouldn't have come here, this was a mistake."
Harp ran out of the house, slamming the front door behind her. She got into the passenger side of her boyfriends car, who had been waiting in the dive way. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Just drive, get me out of here."
Three months later at the end of August, Harp was back at her mother's front door. She had a fresh scare from an enemy half-blood's sword that ran from the base of her neck to her belly button. But that was all. Some of her sibling fared much worse. Eleven of them, eleven of the 22 that were in her cabin in the begging of the summer had gone to Hades. And she knew all of them. They were family. And they were gone.
Harp rang the doorbell. When her mother answered, she saw the pain in Harps blue eyes.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies / As if they thought of rain / I hate to look into those eyes /and see an ounce of pain
Jess had tried so hard to keep her daughter away from the mistakes that she had made. Jess had met Apollo on the Asbury boardwalk the summer of 1991 as Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" blared thought the beach. Wendy was conceived latter that night to Springsteen's "Fire".
When Wendy was born nine months later, Apollo named her for the song that He and Jess met during. He stayed with them until they left the hospital and went to like with Jess's parents. That was the last time Jess ever saw Apollo.
Jess realized early on that Wendy had talent of music and rhythm. Wendy was soon put into ballet and piano classes. She dressed her the way she wanted. Jess wanted to keep her baby safe inside a nice suburban bubble. But Wendy kept trying to pop the bubble.
When Jess went to get Wendy at the end of her first summer at Camp Half-Blood, she was upset but hardly surprised. Wendy's hair was black and purple. Her cloths were torn and dark. She had drumstick in her hand and Bon Jovi could be heard playing through her iPod headphones. But Jess didn't expect Wend not come home. Jess didn't expect to have to dive down the Garden State Park way alone. Without her Baby.
Now Wendy was standing on the porch looking sadder then Jess had ever seen. She wanted to make the pain go away and keep her baby safe again.
"I'm sorry." Wendy told her mother, voice quivering. "I'm so, so sorry." Wendy started crying. "We lost so many, mom. So many." Jess hugged Wendy for the second time in over four years. This time, Wendy didn't stop crying. "I want to come home, mommy. I want to come back."
Now it was Jess's turn to cry. "Of cores you can."
"I love you, mom."
"I love you, too, baby."

Is it possible to edit the title and description meta-tag on a custom post type archive?Alternatively, is it possible to turn off the archive all together so I can make a regular page with a custom template?
I've had no success in either area.
some websites allow to edit but some doesn't allowed to edit it . please check gain
Well try using seo plugins like yoast seo or all in one seo. It should allow overwriting the title and meta tag of the page

More from the Liberty x Nike pack? Not quite, but these two Nike WMNS Air Max 90 pairs certainly look like they could fit in with that grouping. The two pairs both put on a sort of camo speckle where you'd typically expect to see mesh. The colors used keep them firmly in the WMNS category, but we wouldn't be surprised if guys end up tracking them down as well thanks to the unique patterning. Continue reading for more on the Nike WMNS Air Max 90 x and check back with Sneaker News to see if they pop up at retailers soon.

Cheese remains below $2 for second week in a row
After hitting record-high prices earlier this year, cheese has tempered a bit and is below $2 for the second week in a row. Gas prices also let up today after hitting 6-year highs heading into the Fourth of July travel weekend.
Here's a glimpse at the market this week:
Cheese prices remained below $2 for the second week in a row last week on the Chicago Mercantile, averaging $1.95, from $1.97 the week prior.
Last week's prices closed at $1.95 on Monday, $1.95 Tuesday, $1.94 Wednesday, $1.95 Thursday and $1.97 on Friday.
The cost of wheat rose slightly last week after weeks of declines, averaging $6.65 on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, from $6.79 the week prior.
Wheat was near the $8 mark last quarter and was around $6.02 in the beginning of the year.
Last week, prices closed at $6.57 Monday, $6.52 Tuesday, $6.40 on Wednesday and Thursday, and $7.37 on Friday.
Gasoline and diesel fuel
The nationwide average price for regular unleaded fuel is down to $3.61, from $3.65 last Monday, after prices jumped ahead of the Fourth of July holiday. According to the AAA and the Oil Price Information Service, prices a month ago were also $3.65.
Last year at this time, consumers were paying $3.60 at the pump.
Today's mid-range unleaded is $3.80, a drop from $3.84 the week prior. Premium gas is $3.97, from $4.01.
Diesel fuel prices are averaging $3.88, down a penny from $3.89 the week prior. The price of diesel fuel was $3.89 a month ago, and $3.84 a year ago.
Natural Gas
Natural gas prices decreased during the report week (July 2 to July 9) at most market locations for the third week in a row. The Henry Hub spot price decreased from $4.39 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) July 2 to $4.15/MMBtu July 9.
At the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), the August 2014 contract began the report week on July 2 at $4.357/MMBtu, decreasing to $4.170/MMBtu by the end of trading July 9, an 18.7-cent/MMBtu decline. The price of the 12-month strip also decreased, from $4.289/MMBtu July 2 to $4.152/MMBtu July 9.
Pizza company stocks
Shares of Pizza Hut parent Yum! Brands Inc. closed out last week at $82.47, up from $81.92 the week prior. Yum! hit another fresh 52-week high earlier last week, at $83.43. Its 52-week low was a year ago at $64.08.
Domino's finished last week at $73.70, up slightly from $73.42 the week prior. DPZ hit a new lifetime high in March at $80.61. The company's 52-week low was $58.67 a year ago.
Papa John's shares finished last week at $42.02, down slightly from $42.67 the week prior. PZZA hit its 52-week high in March at $55. Its low of $32.78 was a year ago.
Pizza Inn Holdings closed out last week at $5.97, down from $6.19 the week prior. The company's 52-week high was $9.09 a year ago. It also traded as low as $5.38 a year ago.
Papa Murphy's closed out Friday at $8.82, a big drop from $9.78 the week prior. In its third month on the NASDAQ, FRSH's high/low is $12.10 and $8.32, respectively.

Ottawa, Sep 29 (IANS) Adonis Stevenson of Canada beat former world champion Tavoris Cloud of the US after seven rounds to win the World Boxing Council light-heavyweight title.
It was the 36-year-old's ninth victory in a row Saturday and he has improved his record to 22-1, reports Xinhua.
Stevenson, a southpaw, was the home favourite after defending his world title by knocking out American Chad Dawson in only 76 seconds in June.
"I've beaten two great champions," Stevenson said.
"Just basic boxing, connecting, using my jab, my movement. I was training for that. I've been in seven rounds, I still can box him."

Owen Wilson is okay, but his movies ...
Credible news sources like the AP and Reuters are just now beginning to report what we all knew to be true: That greasy tabloids like the National Enquirer and Star were right to report Owen Wilson attempted suicide over the weekend.
The AP cites police logs as listing "attempt suicide" as the reason units were sent to his Santa Monica home on Sunday. His publicist, Ina Teciokas, still refuses to answer questions about the incident.
Meanwhile, Variety shows a tender heart by quickly delving into what this emotional breakdown means to four movie projects Wilson has in the works. DreamWorks confirms that filming on the Ben Stiller-directed Tropic Thunder — which was to begin in the next few weeks with Bill Hader and Jack Black in Hawaii — is still a go.
After that, the 20th Century Fox comedy Marley & Me, with Jennifer Aniston, was to begin production in January. Said a Fox spokesman about a possible delay: "It's a totally inappropriate question at this time when all of our thoughts and concerns are with his health and well being."
Want to read about crass? The trade paper reports two other flicks are worried about marketing Wilson after this sad event. Fox Searchlight is worried about opening Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited on Sept. 28, while Paramount wonders what it will do to the Judd Apatow-produced Drillbit Taylor, due in March. So it's okay to worry about the actor before shooting starts, but after that it's all about the bottom line ...

text: OK here goes: The old man has bought a 330d Automatic. Was driving it the other day and got to a junction and held it stationary on the footbrake. Obviously, the car is ready to creep forward when I let the footbrake off. If you put it into N it disengages the drive and the car will no longer 'creep'. Is there any advantage to puting it into N while waiting at junctions or is it more mechanically sympathetic just to leave it in D? It's just that it feels like it is straining when holding it stationary on the brake. Sorry if I sound thick, but this is the first auto in the family and I just want to treat it as nice as possible.

Body Shop plunge as talks end
Shares in Body Shop have taken a steep dive after the firm announced that talks about a possible takeover have been terminated.
The UK-based ethical cosmetics retailer had been discussing a deal with Mexican company Grupo Omnilife, thought to have been worth about Ł300m ($423m).
But the talks had been at a preliminary stage, with a deal thought to depend in part on the ability of privately-owned Omnilife to borrow about $250m for the purchase.
As the news broke, Body Shop shares plunged, losing more than a quarter of their value. At one point the share price touched a low of 85p, compared with Monday's close of 114.5p.
In November 1996 the shares had peaked at 220p.
The Body Shop said no formal proposals had been received from Omnilife, a fast-growing seller of direct-to-consumer nutritional supplements.
The Body Shop has 1,840 stores worldwide, of which 477 are company-owned.
Once a firm favourite of High Street shoppers and stock market investors, the Body Shop has been struggling in recent months.
New ranges have not been thought a success while the axing of some old favourites has not been well-received by shoppers.
The company had previously been linked with a possible takeover by former supplier, and now rival chain, Lush.

The 1st one is my Buck bantam ridgeline I carry daily I paid $20 for at academy. The second is a frost cutlery I bought in a box of other knives at an auction for $50.

i like these two. bought them at Lowes. the bone looking handled one for about $12 and the black one for about $11. they are a brand called Appalachian Trail. they hold a good edge, sharpen fairly easy, and so far have stood up to the abuse i give knives on a daily basis.

Here's my Appalachian trail knife. I traded for this one
Attachment 62882

a Buck knife i bought years ago that has held up well. paid less than $20 for it at WalMart.
my Smith knife sharpener. bought at lowes for about $16. works pretty good.
When did you buy that Bantam? It has a different handle than mine.
They aren't bad knives, strong blade and handle on 'em, but the pocket clip leaves a little to be desired (kept coming loose) and the lock isn't very strong.
It is hard to beat Kershaw pocket knives, especially the ones designed by Ken Onion. They have many styles under $50.00, and they are outstanding values at the price.
I really like the cold steel knife I recently purchased. Its a good worker and if I have to jump the solenoid to start a piece of equipment I won't shed a tear.
I'm a low-budget kind of guy, but appreciate well-built, highly utilitarian knives. That's why I carry the SOG Blink, a 25-dollar assisted opener that opens fast with one hand and carries flat. If my wife lets me keep a few dollars on payday, I use it as a money clip.

When we last saw anti-smut, pro-family values crusader David Caton, he was exactly where you would expect him to be: criticizing the University of South Florida for a course called "queer theory" and speaking out against protections for transgender people in Tampa.
Caton has made a career, not to mention a conservative name for himself, out of such stuff. Gay Days at Disney, city benefits for same-sex couples, dirty magazines at convenience stores, high school clubs to support gay students, raunchy radio, lap dancing, T-backs, strip clubs, a gay candidate for office — you knew David Caton would be there to rail against it.
Did I say rail?
Because here is the oddest place to find a former porn addict turned crusader: as a local hit man against the push for big transportation improvements, including light rail.
Excuse me, Mr. Caton —you realize they said transportation not transgender, right?
For the record, his decades of work have not been all about sex. He will tell you that over the years he worked to lower the indigent health care tax, pushed for oil drilling and encouraged the attorney general to fight the health care plan. These are good things to know about him.
But on that odd marriage of rail and the right side of God: "I think it is immoral," Caton says of the rail issue. "I believe it's immoral to tax, to take more away from the poor to give money to the special interests."
On this subject, Caton can talk Hillsborough County foreclosure, bankruptcy and unemployment statistics. What rail proponents call "riders" he calls merely "boarders," and you can bet their numbers will differ significantly in terms of justifying the project.
Caton likes to say it would be cheaper for the county to buy each daily rail rider two Ferraris than to build light rail. He brings a remote control car to meetings to illustrate his point. Some 60,000 e-mails will be sent out on that Ferrari assertion. This is the Caton way.
"This is basic attack 101," says Mark Sharpe, a Hillsborough commissioner who supports rail. "It's just a way of playing with statistics."
But it would be a mistake to dismiss such opposition and the accompanying we-can't-afford-it message. Given the slogging economy, selling Hillsborough voters on a November referendum for a penny sales tax for transportation including rail will be a tough haul. The trick will be getting voters who are frustrated with how we do (and don't) get around to understand how rail can improve our region's future, to talk jobs and bus and road improvements that also are part of the package.
All of which begs the question: What is David Caton doing here? Shouldn't he be trading barbs with strip club king Joe Redner or mass e-mailing the school board or trying to get racy programs kicked off cable?
Turns out times are tough all over. Caton, who is executive director of the Florida Family Association, echoes my question: "Why is Mr. Morality going after this?"
"We've lost a lot of supporters who can no longer afford to donate," he says.
So the focus changes to issues like taxes and "excessive spending."
I guess even a moral crusader has to make a living. And as it turns out, economics and politics can make, you'll pardon the expression, interesting bedfellows.

Musicians returned to playing concerts for the Minnesota Orchestra this weekend, but the turmoil that has followed the organization for more than 16 months resurfaced Saturday.
After a homecoming concert Friday at Orchestra Hall, musicians and board members were met Saturday with the first direct comments from former music director Osmo Vänskä on the state of his old orchestra.
Speaking with classical music host Brian Newhouse of Minnesota Public Radio, Vänskä reportedly said, "For any healing to begin at the orchestra, Michael Henson must go."
Henson, the organization's president and CEO, was a lightning rod for criticism from musicians and their supporters during the just-concluded lockout.
"We are surprised Osmo chose to register his comments with the news media when those conversations belong within the Orchestral Association," Gordon Sprenger, new board chair of the orchestra, said in a statement Saturday night. "This weekend is a time to celebrate that the Minnesota Orchestra is performing onstage in the renovated Orchestra Hall, and we are sorry to pull any focus from that celebratory event."
Vänskä did not return phone calls Saturday. Henson, through a representative, declined to comment, and a spokesperson for the musicians had no comment but referenced a fall 2012 vote in which the musicians expressed "no confidence" in Henson.
Sprenger and principal trombonist Doug Wright spoke at Saturday concert, as they had Friday. In response to crowd shouts about bringing back Vänskä, Sprenger said, "We are on top of it." Henson attended both concerts but did not speak publicly.
There was one shout of "Fire Henson" to which Sprenger did not respond.
The public nature of Vänskä's statement on Saturday is remarkable. He reportedly has told friends privately that he would return only if Henson were let go. If Henson did leave the organization, there is no guarantee the board would swiftly ask Vänskä back.
Sprenger, in interviews and statements, has expressed strong support for Henson.
Vänskä, who became music director in 2003, resigned in October to protest the failure of the board and musicians to reach a new contract.

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Scientists have discovered features on Mars that could be signs of running water. If that's true, it would be big news for scientists looking for signs of life on Mars. After all, practically everywhere on Earth where there's running water, there's also life.
NPR's Richard Harris has the story.
RICHARD HARRIS: First off, we already know that Mars has water on it, lots of water. But Phil Christensen, a long-term Mars watcher from Arizona State University, says that knowledge isn't all that exciting to biologists.
Dr. PHIL CHRISTENSEN (Geophysicist, Arizona State University): Much of that water is in the form of ice in the polar regions or the high latitudes. And at those places, that water is going to be frozen throughout the year.
HARRIS: Living organisms, as we understand them at least, need at least some liquid water to do their thing. So, Christensen is excited to learn that NASA's Mars reconnaissance orbiter has made an intriguing discovery closer to the Martian equator.
At a news conference yesterday, Alfred McEwen from the University of Arizona described dark streaks that run down several steep crater walls and come and go with the seasons.
Dr. ALFRED McEWEN (Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona): So these form and grow. They darken. Some of them start fading while new lineaments are forming and growing still and eventually they completely disappear.
HARRIS: Looking at them, it's easy to imagine that they could be water pouring from springs in the bedrock and flowing down the crater walls. They even shape the ground around them, the way running water makes features on Earth. They leave bright, smooth areas behind.
Dr. McEWEN: And that appears to be some sort of deposit or residue left behind by these slope flows.
HARRIS: What's especially intriguing is that these flows occur only during the warm seasons. In fact, this area of Mars even warms up above freezing at times. So the conditions are actually right for running water, McEwen says. But if it is water, it's probably not pure water. It's probably brine, which happens to be harder to freeze.
And yet, with all this tantalizing evidence, Alfred McEwen is not jumping up and down on his chair celebrating a major discovery of liquid water on Mars for a simple reason.
Dr. McEWEN: We have no direct detection of water.
HARRIS: The provocative images aren't proof. And when the spacecraft in orbit around Mars pointed an instrument down to look at the chemical composition of the streaks, it did not register the presence of water. That may simply be that the dark streaks are pretty narrow, as little as a few feet wide. And the satellite can't take readings with pinpoint accuracy. Or maybe the streaks aren't salty water at all.
McEwen and his colleagues who have published these results in the latest issue of Science magazine say they can't come up with an explanation that's more plausible than water.
Dr. McEWEN: But there may be people out there that are more clever than us and it's definitely worthwhile to keep thinking about multiple alternate explanations.
HARRIS: And if liquid water is the most promising hypothesis, that means the scientists may have stumbled upon an oasis where life could exist on Mars.
Astrobiologist Lisa Pratt from Indiana University says, life on Earth certainly exists in similar extreme environments such as the Arctic permafrost.
Dr. LISA PRATT (Astrobiologist, Indiana University): I think this is an eye-opening discovery that will really help us begin the planning process for future missions, specifically looking for signs of life on present-day Mars.
HARRIS: And a discovery like that would surely rank among the most exciting in all of science.

2013 Jaguar F-Type Interior Leaked Before Paris Debut
Detailed photos of the 2013 Jaguar F-Type just leaked leaving almost nothing for the automaker to show later this week in Paris during the car's official debut.
With a starting 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine that makes either 340 or 380 hp depending on the configuration, or an even more potent 5.0-liter supercharged V8 in the F-Type R boasting 550 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque it's easy to imagine how impressive the car will be.
But imagination is for dreamers and apparently afraid there weren't enough in the world, the company released a series of teaser videos. Those clips came after an initial leak showing the car sans-camo, but the footage featured the car re-dressed.
Then earlier today, that same photo came directly from the company in higher resolution – a confirmation that the leaked photo was legitimate. Now, a bank of new pictures is showing the car in even greater detail and loads of new angles.
The newest of those show its interior, which looks to come loaded with soft-touch materials, in close detail. Those pictures also show the car with paddle shifters which will govern its standard eight-speed automatic transmission. Customers will still be able to row their own gears, but will have to elect for the optional manual transmission to do so.
This is also the first time it's taillights, which are an evolution on the cat's eye-like equipment seen on the XK's rear end, have been fully visible. They carry a longer and sharper look that make its stance look lower and wider.
Pictures in the gallery below also show cars with two different kinds of wheels and a car with dual exhaust tips and one with four. Check back for more during AutoGuide's live coverage.

If old-fashioned southern hospitality and integrity is what the fashion industry needs, it need look no further than Billy Reid. A welcome deviation from the often self-absorbed work-only mentality that can be all to easy to slip into as a designer, Reid's choice to raise his family in Florence, Alabama stemmed from an overarching desire to build his work around his life, and not the other way around. Dedicated to infusing every design he mints with a degree of both modernity, personality, heritage and quality, Reid sits down for our latest "A Conversation with" feature to discuss the South, his goals, 9/11, and his thoughts on the collaborating.
Southern hospitality… is something that was instilled at a very early age and hopefully remains for generations to follow.
Based in the South… I was born in Amite, Louisiana, but my wife is from Florence. We decided that we would raise our family here and structure our work around life, not life around our work. So, it is a bit of an unconventional path for fashion design, but it works for us. We set up our headquarters on the main street of our town and we work hard to be a vital part of our community and build with it. It is something we believe deeply in.
I would describe my aesthetic as… It is a modern, and personal approach, to classic American clothing. I spend most of time between Florence, Alabama and New York City. It is those two worlds blending together that is at the heart of the collection. We try to build it with as much integrity as possible and strive to make things that get better age and live with you.
The goals behind my work… I enjoy the work and creative process and also watching our company and team grow. We are based on the main street of our hometown of Florence, Alabama, and being a part of our community there is tremendously gratifying. We just want to continue building and making clothes.
The contemporary scene for menswear… American menswear is in a very good spot right now with tons of great clothing. I think the CFDA and the editorial fashion community in menswear has been so supportive of the effort and it has created a terrific environment to be a part of.
Leaving New York after 9/11… Surreal and tragic. I was certainly personally devastated, as we lost our business which was growing well. So many people lost much more than that though. I am fortunate to have had a second and third chance.
Designing for men and women… We want them to be girlfriend and boyfriend. The men's has a very strong identity, masculine and is a fully built out collection head-to-toe. The women's is a more focused assortment, so we want to give her clothes that give her just as much, or even more, game than her man. That balance is what we strive for each season.
If you come to Florence, Alabama… Our area has a rich music heritage — The Stones, Dylan, Aretha, Skynyrd and hundreds of other notables have recorded here. Recently, The Black Keys, Band of Horses and Alicia Keys cut records here. Sam Phillips and W.C. Handy are from here. We enjoy sharing that history with our guests. We have a beautiful historic downtown with a little sandwich shop, Trowbridge's, which hasn't changed since 1918. Also, we are on the Tennessee River, so time spent on the water is a nice treat as well. We love it here, which is why we choose it is as home base.
The sustainability of American-inspired fashion… American-inspired fashion in general should sustain just fine. For us, we just try to make clothes we believe in and inspiration comes from all over the place. We don't focus on if it's "Southern" or "American," but rather put the thoughts toward the collection itself and being true.
A Billy Reid collaboration… The relationship must be something that happens naturally. We've been fortunate to have worked with some terrific folks like Levi's, K-Swiss, Stetson and J.Crew, and each project has been a different approach, but they worked well for everyone involved because it wasn't forced.

Yani Tseng takes third-round lead
Yani Tseng moved into position to end a long victory drought, shooting a 9-under 63 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Safeway Classic.
Tseng, the 24-year-old Taiwanese star who has 15 LPGA Tour titles and had a 109-week run at No. 1 in the world ranking, is winless in 36 events since the Kia Classic in March 2012. She has tumbled to No. 15 in the world and missed cuts in the four of her last five tournaments.
After opening with rounds of 67 and 68, Tseng had 11 birdies and two bogeys Saturday in warm, dry and calm conditions to reach 18 under at Columbia Edgewater.
Tseng birdied six of the first eight holes and dropped a stroke on the par-4 ninth to make the turn in 5-under 31. She birdied No. 10, then hooked her second shot up against a restroom en route to a bogey on the par-5 12th.
Tseng rebounded with a birdie at 13, and added birdies at 15, 16 and 17 – all with putts of less than 10 feet to take the lead. She squandered a chance for another birdie when she missed a 5-foot putt on the par-4 18th.
Norway's Suzann Pettersen, the 2011 tournament winner at Pumpkin Ridge, was tied for second with Thailand's Pornanong Phatlum. Pettersen had a 70, and Phatlum, the leader after each of the first two rounds, shot 71.
Sweden's Anna Nordqvist also had a 63 to join U.S. Solheim Cup opponents Stacy Lewis, Morgan Pressel and Lizette Salas at 14 under. Lewis and Pressel shot 65, and Salas had a 68.
Austin Ernst shot a 62 to tie the tournament record set by Annika Sorenstam in 2002.
Ernst set the stage as the first player on the course. Playing by herself, the tour rookie birdied eight of her first 10 holes to flirt with a 59, then bogeyed the par-4 11th. She is 12 under overall.
A 72-hole event for the time, the tournament is back at Columbia Edgewater after four years at Pumpkin Ridge. Columbia Edgewater also was the tournament site from 1990-2008.

Designer underwear may not be a logical concept, but as Calvin Klein can attest, it is highly profitable. Which is why boxers, briefs and other Klein-branded skivvies could soon be at the center of a high profile court case that will have New York's gossip-ridden 7th Avenue fashion district twittering at high volume. Last week, the designer stunned the industry by filing suit against Warnaco, the company which makes the jeans and underwear that bear his name. And to show he means business, Klein hired the firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner, which was special trial counsel for the U.S. Justice Department in its case against Mircrosoft.
The suit alleges that Warnaco, and specifically CEO Linda Wachner, have damaged the brand image by selling to discount stores and putting Klein's name on designs he didn't approve. Described in the suit as a "cancer" on the brand, Wachner is also lambasted for her "abusive and unprofessional" management style
"The vitriol in the comments is astounding," says one former senior Calvin Klein executive. "It's going to be a very nasty battle."
Wachner was taken by surprise by the action, but quickly countered that the real reason for Klein's suit was his inability to find a buyer for his company. Klein put his business on the block last October, only to take it off in April. Industry experts said at the time that the $1 billion price tag was too high, and that his extensive agreements with Warnaco were a major hindrance. Warnaco controls about $1 billion of Klein's $2.5 billion annual wholesale sales. It also owns Klein's underwear business outright and has a license to produce jeans until 2034. Buy Calvin Klein and you're also buying Warnaco and Wachner. A spokesman for Klein said that Boies was retained in January � while the company was still on the market � and that the lawsuit has nothing to do with the failed attempt to sell the company.
Licensing is fashion's dirty little secret. Designers try to keep it quiet that clothes, makeup, underwear, shoes and other items sold with a designer label may not be made by the designers, but by a more mass market producer, like Warnaco or Nine West. Licensing has advantages for the designers. They get an expert in a specific product to do all the work � produce, market and distribute the goods � while they collaborate on design and collect a hefty fee. Lately, however, the strategy has fallen out of favor with high-end designers. Gucci, Giorgio Armani and Burberry have all bought back licenses to keep tight control over their brands. But none of them has had to go to these lengths.
The suit comes at a time when Warnaco is vulnerable. Saddled with debt from acquisitions, poor earnings and a sinking stock price, nearly 44% of Warnaco's sales � some $2.1 billion � come from Calvin Klein products. News of the lawsuit sent its stock spiraling and started rumors that its board would rather lose Wachner than Klein. But a trial is also bad for the Calvin Klein brand image. It will leave everyone wondering who's wearing the pants.

Service held on 6th anniversary of New Bedford immigration raid
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. —
An interfaith service was held Saturday to mark the six year anniversary of the raid at Michael Bianco in New Bedford.
Immigration and customs enforcement raided the factory and rounded up more than three hundred illegal workers, many of whom were deported.
Six years later, some cases are still pending. "People still have to report weekly or monthly, to head up to Burlington, to meet with officials," said Dr. Lisa Maya Knauer, a UMass Dartmouth professor who's active in immigration issues.
Noelia Ramos was one of the workers arrested. She was almost deported last year, but got a reprieve.
Ramos said "I was given a work permit for one year or more, now that year is almost up; I don't know what more is so I worry."
"People live in fear even though it's six years later," said Luis Gomez.
Gomez was 17 when his mother was also arrested in the raid.
"I felt helpless with my mother in prison, not being able to see her was heartbreaking," Gomez said.
With legal help his mother eventually achieved residency, but Gomez knows others have not been so lucky so he's joined the effort to push for immigration reform.
A spokesman from Immigration and Customs Enforcement tells NBC 10 that the agency has undergone changes since the Bianco raid.
A new worksite enforcement strategy launched in 2009 now penalizes employers who knowingly hire illegal workers.
The agency also works to deter employers from hiring illegal workers, and offers tools to help them stay compliant with the law.

Durban - Opening the eThekwini municipality's reports for public scrutiny before they were deliberated by the council was not in the ratepayers' interest, according to eThekwini city manager S'bu Sithole, because the media slanted the debate, often impeding deeper understanding of an issue.
He was speaking to The Mercury about a decision by the ANC in the council to embargo agendas for the executive committee and portfolio committee meetings.
These documents had always been available to the media but were restricted for the first time this week and would now only be available on the day of the meeting.
Sithole said the media did not understand some issues because they were technical, and not all reports were for decision-making – some were for noting purposes.
The city was not censoring the media but protecting the integrity of its processes, he said.
"If you look at custom and practice everywhere, the executive committee must discuss issues without any negative influence.
"Most issues that are debated are already in the newspaper and they take a particular slant. It makes our jobs very difficult," he said.
In Cape Town, meanwhile, agendas, reports and the minutes of all City of Cape Town meetings are still available to journalists before council meetings. Hard copies are also made available from the metro's media office and information is available on the city's website.
Ian Neilson, Cape Town's executive deputy mayor, said: "This is part of the city's commitment to openness and transparency."
The DA caucus leader in Nelson Mandela Bay municipality (Port Elizabeth), Leon de Villiers, said eThekwini's actions were a "gross abuse of power".
"We do not have such a rule in Port Elizabeth and, if we did, we would oppose it. The public should be encouraged to come to all council meetings and they should be well informed about what will be discussed, more so because it has an impact on ratepayers," he said, adding that putting an embargo on agendas worked against all principles of open democracy.
City of Joburg spokesman Nthatisi Modingoane said council agendas and reports were made available to the media on the day of the council meeting on request.
"Portfolio committee meetings and executive committee meeting are, by law, not open to the public. Therefore journalists are not allowed to attend these meetings."
The DA's eThekwini caucus leader Tex Collins, said his party was "appalled" by the decision.
"The ANC is rotten to the core, and this foolish and unconstitutional effort to gag the media will backfire on them badly," he said.
"It has become increasingly obvious that the ruling party has no answer to the many problems Durban now faces and, as a result, will use every available method to prevent the truth from being exposed."
Collins said the city's action had not come before exco or the council for debate, making it illegal.
"It also flies in the face of good governance and transparency… It is hoped that the media will fight this action as vigorously as the DA. The DA will never accept a gag of this nature," he added.
Right2Know national co-ordinator Mark Weinberg said this was another example of the veil of secrecy creeping over society. "In a democracy, elected leaders should have nothing to hide. The public has every right to be informed and discuss issues before decisions are taken, precisely to inform those decisions," he said. - The Mercury

Golden Globes to be Picketed by Striking Writers
Bad news for the Golden Globes: The striking Writers Guild of America has turned down a request from the producers of the Golden Globes to allow a union writer to work on the January show. That means the ceremony will be treated like any other Hollywood production or studio being picketed by the writers.
Well, not just any production. It's still a fancy awards ceremony, after all, so the writers plan to strike in their red-carpet-ready gowns and tuxes. As for how to deal with nominees who want to accept their awards without crossing the picket line, the current strategy is to offer winners the chance to accept their award outside, with their speeches broadcast on the Internet. (For its part, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers struck back by nominating the WGA for Worst Supporting Union. No, really, that's what they said.)
It's going to be interesting to see how the nominees decide to deal with this. Katherine Heigl has said she won't cross the picket line, while Tina Fey sounded ready to attend. Will anyone even go inside the theater? Will there be anything for NBC to broadcast? (The LA Times says the show might not be televised at all.) Or will the sides be able to work something out before the Jan. 13 ceremony? And what will this mean for the Oscars? One thing's for sure: It's going to be an interesting Winter in Hollywood.

Breaking news update: Alexis Simpson has been found not guilty on all charges relating to the stabbing death of her roommate Dominique Frazier. The jury deliberated Thursday for less than three hours. Stay with PostLocal.com for more details.
From Keaira Johnson's perspective, Alexis Simpson instigated the confrontation that left her roommate at Bowie State University fatally wounded. But Johnson, who saw the deadly fight, acknowledged in court Wednesday that Simpson might not have intended to slash her roommate's neck.
Simpson, now 20, is on trial on charges of first-degree murder in the September 2011 slaying of 18-year-old Dominique Frazier, her roommate in the Christa McAuliffe residence hall. Prosecutors say that the women did not get along and that Simpson stabbed and slashed Frazier during a fight in their shared suite.
Defense attorneys say that Simpson was bullied by Frazier and her friends and retrieved and wielded the knife in self-defense.
Johnson, 21, a friend of Frazier's, testified Wednesday that Simpson and Frazier began to argue after Simpson turned off an iPod playing in the suite and that Simpson soon began yelling outside the door to Frazier's room.
Johnson testified that after Frazier retrieved a knife — not the weapon used in the slaying — she quickly moved to take it from her and stash it in a dresser drawer.
"I said, 'You're not going to do that,' " Johnson testified. "You're not going to stab her."
Soon after, Johnson testified, Simpson came into the room and began to fight Frazier, and the brawl spilled to the living room. Johnson said that after that fight paused, Simpson punched her and the two of them traded blows.
After the melee had appeared to end, Johnson testified, Simpson again went to Frazier's room. She said that the women "started swinging at each other" and that Frazier "grabbed her neck and just stopped moving," apparently having been slashed.
That account is in line with other witnesses' and prosecutors' theory of the case. But defense attorneys forced a key concession from Johnson when she acknowledged on cross-examination that Simpson might not have intended to slash Frazier.
"It looked like a mistake, right?" Christopher Griffiths, Simpson's defense attorney, asked Johnson.
"I guess. Yeah," Johnson said.
Defense attorneys on Wednesday began calling their own witnesses, first questioning two Bowie State juniors who said they witnessed incidents involving Simpson, Frazier and Frazier's friends.
Elliott Styles and Unique Arnold testified that they saw some women glaring at Simpson in a cafeteria area at the university after an argument. Previous testimony indicated that those women were Frazier and her friends. Arnold said that about a week before the stabbing, Simpson told her that she intended to change dorm rooms.
Another defense witness, Janaye Ruffin, who lived across the hall from Frazier and Simpson, testified that after the slashing, Simpson seemed "scared" and "concerned."
"She was breathing heavy," Ruffin said. "She couldn't even put words together to form sentences."
Prosecutors concluded their portion of the case by calling a medical examiner, who testified that Frazier died of "multiple sharp force injuries," including a cut to the jugular that could have proven fatal in seconds.
The trial was expected to resume Thursday.
