Chancellor George Osborne pays tribute during visit to Silsden and Haworth
5:45pm Thursday 6th February 2014 in Keighley By Chris Tate, Reporter
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne told staff at a Silsden-based global engineering firm today that they were leading a national recovery in manufacturing.
Mr Osborne was a guest of Advanced Actuators, which makes complex hydraulic machinery used in gas and oil industries around the world.
And after tea and a chat with apprentices beside a huge mechanism bound for Mexico, he also paid tribute to the firm's policies of employing eager youngsters and using engineering parts made in Airedale.
"I've been hugely impressed by the advanced manufacturing that's taking place here in Silsden," the Chancellor said.
"What's great about this company is that it uses other local companies to make parts for things which are exported around the world.
"And it's impressive the way they bring on the apprentices in their workforce.
"It's a real vote of confidence in British manufacturing and the West Yorkshire economy – I find it hugely refreshing to see this happening."
Chris Woodhead, director of Advanced Actuators, said: "We have really benefited from the new export finance scheme where 80 per cent of any loan to a company is guaranteed by the government.
"It's been fantastic to have Mr Osborne here and show him what we're doing with youth employment, other local firms and global exports.
"If this doesn't ring his bell, there's something wrong!"
After visiting Silsden, Mr Osborne then went to Haworth where he enjoyed refreshments at Cobbles & Clay cafe in Main Street and called at Firths boutique.

SE Bikes Floval Flyer 24" BMX Bike - 2014From top tube to tire tread, everything about the 2014 SE Racing Floval Flyer 24" BMX Race Bike lives and breathes to battle it out on the track. SE has been sending BMX racers to the podium for 40 years, and there's no sign of their letting up.
A super light 6066 aluminum frame for 2014 features an integrated headset for unreal response, floval tubing for reduced resistance, and 3D forged dropouts for added durability. The fully chromoly "Landing Gear" fork is a classic updated with tapered legs and forged dropouts making it SE's lightest, fastest, and strongest fork yet.
At the helm atop a butter-smooth sealed bearing headset is a front load alloy stem with cutaways to shave weight, and a pair of chromoly SE Floval handlebars that are lightweight, responsive, and can handle even the most uneven nose landings. SE's mushroom grips keep your hands where you want them--this front-end setup is more than competition ready.
Chromoly 3-piece cranks are standard for pro-level racers because they're light, have zero medial flex for amazing power transfer, and refuse to snap even in the most torque-wrenching, bad landing scenarios. Floval Flyer's sealed bearing hollow axle alloy hubs hosting Alienation Deviant front & Alientaion Black Sheep rear double-wall alloy rims are racing light, but will stay true all season long.
Nothing is left to chance with the new Floval Flyer 24". It is an out-of-the-box and straight-to-the-track bike that not only has one of BMX's most respected names on it, but it also uses BMX's latest technology to push you to the finish first.
- 6066 aluminum frame with floval tubing is light, strong, and aerodynamic
- Full chromoly Landing Gear fork is tapered to be light and strong
- Integrated head tube with sealed bearing headset is responsive and light
- Alienation wheelset shaves weight and has amazing response during acceleration
- Chromo cranks and handlebars can handle any landing or wreck

Funding opportunities
Enhancing Maturation of hESC Derived hepatocytes Using Decellularized Liver Matrix
Funding Type:
Basic Biology III
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 332 000
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Liver disease is one of the leading causes of death in the US. Liver transplantation is the only treatment for patients with acute or end-stage liver failure. However, donor shortage places a substantial number of patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation (around17,000 in the US and 3500 in California by December, 2010) and only a small proportion of patients actually received liver transplantation (6320 in the US and 551 in California in 2010). Many patients die from their disease unnecessarily while waiting for liver transplant. Recent advances in derivation of hepatocytes from human embryonic cells (hESCs) make cell therapy for liver patients a promising possibility in the future. However, one of the major obstacles for clinical applications of these hESC derived hepatocytes is that these hepatocytes are not fully matured to fulfill all functions of adult liver cells and still express the fetal hepatocyte protein, AFP, which is absent in the normal adult liver, but present in malignant liver cells. Therefore, these immature hepatocytes may impose a potential danger for tumorigenesis in patients. Another major obstacle for hepatocyte transplantation is the lack of an ideal transplantable scaffold for cell attachment, survival and function. Very few studies have addressed the role of cell microenvironment on hepatic lineage specification from hESCs. Even less is known about the mechanism regulating hepatocyte differentiation from hESCs by cell microenvironment. We propose to use natural liver extracellular microenvironment for further maturation of ESC-derived hepatocytes and maintenance of hepatic function. We will seek to provide fundamental understanding of the possible mechanism responsible for the expected enhanced maturation of ESC-derived hepatocytes induced by the liver extracellular microenvironment with focusing on integrin and growth factor signaling pathways. With the novel approach we propose here, we expect that successful completion of the proposed research will not only significantly advance our understanding of hepatocyte maturation but also provide a platform for future organ engineering, ultimately leading to human embryonic stem cell-based clinical application to treat patients suffering from liver disease.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Patients with acute or end-stage liver failure need liver transplantation to save their lives. However, donor shortage is a serious problem the US and even more serious in California. Only 16% of California patients (3500 in the year 2010) with liver diseases actually received liver transplantation in contrast to 37% of patients national wide (17,000 in the year 2010) received liver transplantation. Human embryonic cells provide an alterative promising cell source for treatment of liver patients. However, hESC-derived hepatocytes are immature, and therefore may not fulfill all functions of adult liver cells and impose a potential danger for tumorigenesis in patients. We will use a novel approach for further maturation of ESC-derived hepatocytes and maintenance of hepatic function using natural liver extracellular matrix. We will identify fundamental molecular mechanisms responsible for the expected enhanced maturation of ESC-derived hepatocytes. We expect that successful completion of the proposed research will ultimately lead to human embryonic stem cell-based clinical application to treat patients suffering from liver disease. Since the immaturity is a general problem in ESC differentiation toward targeted cell types in vitro, our approach can be applied to cell types other than hepatocytes and therefore also benefits patients with diseases other than liver failure in the long run. The benefits will first come to the California patients and their families. We also expect to obtain intellectual property for the state of California and continuously maintain the leading role in California in embryonic stem cell research toward clinical applications.
Review Summary:
Project Synopsis: The goal of the proposed research is to determine if decellularized liver extracellular matrix (DLM), in concert with growth factors, can provide the natural liver microenvironment to facilitate maturation of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived hepatocytes (hEHs) through integrin-mediated signaling pathways. To explore these hypotheses, a series of three aims has been proposed. First, the applicant will characterize the effects of DLM on hepatocyte differentiation from hESCs in vitro. Next, the mechanisms responsible for enhanced maturation will be explored through investigation of specific integrin and growth factor signaling pathways. In the third and final Aim, the applicant will employ an in vivo transplantation model to assess and validate the roles of DLM, integrin and signaling pathways in hEH maturation. Significance and Innovation: - This application addresses a major unsolved problem in stem cell biology, the inability to derive fully mature and functional hepatocytes from hESC. If successful, the proposed studies could generate new and important data towards understanding hepatocyte differentiation and the utility of DLM for studying hepatocyte function. - The proposal addresses a significant clinical problem. Liver disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, a fact that is exacerbated by shortages of donor organs. hESCs are envisioned as an alternative and potentially unlimited source of human hepatocytes, and thus insights towards improved derivation of these cells will be important for advancing the field. - The proposed studies are unlikely to have major impact. While somewhat innovative in the context of liver, extracellular matrix (ECM)-based approaches are being used with other tissue types, as the ECM and its embedded growth factors are important for differentiation in a variety of lineages. Furthermore, many aspects of the proposed work with commercially available ECM, transplantation experiments and integrin signaling have been previously described or published for hEH. - The studies are based on sound scientific rationale and focus largely on basic cellular and molecular mechanisms. The emphasis on integrins is logical but may be limiting. Feasibility and Experimental Design: - The feasibility of this project hinges on the success of Aim 1A. If DLM cannot facilitate the maturation of hESC-derived hepatocyte progenitors, the rationale for remaining portions will collapse. This considerable risk would have been alleviated by inclusion of more preliminary data with hEHs and DLM. - The proposed studies are well designed and represent logical extensions of the applicant's previous work. Specific aims are well organized and achievable within the proposed timetable. Potential problems and alternative approaches have been considered. - The reliance on albumin secretion and urea processing as markers of hepatocyte maturity is not ideal. Reviewers suggested that cytochrome functionality would likely prove a better measure. Moreover, they recommended that the panel used for verifying maturity should be extended to include markers such as tyrosine aminotransferase, tryptophan oxygenase 2, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), Cyp2B6 and functions of glycogen storage, indocyanine green and low-density lipoprotein uptake, and inducible cytochrome P450 activity. Principal Investigator (PI) and Research Team: - The principal investigator (PI) is a junior investigator with numerous publications in well-regarded journals. He/she has the necessary expertise to successfully complete the project. The proposed 35% commitment is appropriate. - Collaborating investigators provide outstanding, extensive and complementary expertise in the areas of hESC-derived hepatocytes, liver repair and transplantation models. These collaborations are integral and critical to the success of the study. - The facilities and research environment are appropriate for conducting the proposed research. - The budget is reasonable, although some reviewers felt the annual supplies allocations were somewhat excessive. Responsiveness to the RFA: - The proposed research utilizes hESC and directly addresses molecular mechanisms driving the specification of adult hepatocyte identity. This project adequately and appropriately addresses the goals and objectives of the RFA.
Programmatic review:
- This application scored below the initial scientific merit funding line, no programmatic reason to fund the application was proposed, and the GWG voted to place the application in Tier 3, Not Recommended for Funding.

Jahii Carson had 20 points and six assists, Eric Jacobsen added 16 points, and Arizona State used a dominating defensive stretch in the second half to beat Hartford 71-63 Wednesday night.
Arizona State (7-1) traded baskets with the Hawks from a hot-shooting first half until picking up the pressure midway through the second.
Contesting shots and snatching steals, the Sun Devils held Hartford to one field goal for more than 11 minutes and to 9-of-31 shooting in the second half.
Carrick Felix added 11 points and 11 rebounds for Arizona State, which shot 56 percent to overcome an 11 for 23 night from the free-throw line.
Hartford (4-4) kept up with the Sun Devils in the first half, but faded in the second under their pressure and size. Nate Sikma had 26 points, but Hawks leading scorer Mark Nwakamma missed all eight of his shots.

The Philadelphia controller's office has released the results of an audit into the city's 2011 financial statements that reveals gross financial errors to the tune of over $1 billion dollars, his office announced Monday.
Alan Butkovitz's "City of Philadelphia Report on Internal Control, Compliance and Other Matters for Fiscal 2011" revealed multiple oversights that included year-end tax errors and account receivable balances errors.
According to Butkovitz, "These misstatements occurred because the Revenue Department did not have written procedures to guide city accountants in the accurate determination of all year-end receivable balances."
He also laid blame on inadequate employee training.
"Neglecting to update the new method on a timely basis and communicating with departments contributed to the $1.4 billion in misstatements," said Butkovitz.
The Controller's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters is based on an audit of financial statements performed in accordance with government auditing standards.

Goshen College, with its millions in endowments, determined the cost of maintaining its pool greatly outweighed the benefits. Now the Goshen school system wants a new pool. This doesn't make much sense. We had a pool and I know the cost outweighs the benefits. A pool is a luxury, not a necessity. This proposal looks like a want, not a necessity.
We can see the need for more room at the cafeteria. The student body has outgrown the available space. Also, more room for music. Although the cost vs. benefit is probably high.
We understand that if the proposal passes, it will fall on the shoulders of property tax payers. In that case those on the property tax rolls should be the ones to vote for or against this proposal. Those voters not on property tax rolls should not. They can always leave that space blank.
It's time to get off the taxpayers' backs and learn to live within the budget. If a taxpayer wants a big ticket item they either find a way to work it into their budget, forget it and do without, or go with a less costly item that will fill their needs. We don't need a Taj Mahal if a pole barn will suffice. Who are we trying to impress?
You voters must decide if the cost vs. the benefits is worthwhile. We see small benefits for a few students and much cost over a long period of time for the taxpayer. All property tax payers should get out and vote or end up paying whether you want to or not and for many years. My vote will be no.

Get her look for less
In July, Vanessa Hudgens was seen wearing a flattering strapless dress. She has always had a great sense of style and knows how to modestly bare a little skin. Every gal needs a little black dress and instead of going for a plain and simple one, get a dress that has an eye catching detail like the one seen on Vanessa.

The Bay Area is renowned for its natural beauty, affluence, diversity, and progressive thinking new age reputation. Lots of ammenities, tours and hotels can be found all around the area.
San Francisco is the cultural and financial center of the Bay Area, and has the second highest population density of any major city in North America after New York City. It is also a major tourist destination, and transport and accommodation is plentiful, ranging from luxury hotels to cheap accommodation.
San Jose is the largest city in terms of population, land area, and industrial development, and is the center of Silicon Valley, a well-known high technology region. Oakland is a major manufacturing and distribution center, rail terminus/hub, and has the fourth largest container shipping port in the United States.
Largely because of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bay Area presently ranks second only to the much larger New York City region in number of Fortune 500 company headquarters (April 2010 Fortune Magazine).

2Watch This: Former Child Stars Hate Kirk Cameron, Too!
As I'm sure you remember, Kirk Cameron is not a fan of the gays. He basically thinks that they're all going to ruin our society, and that they'll be the end of our civilization. I think, and I don't want to put words in Kirk's mouth or anything, that he believes that if gay people are allowed to marry just like straight people, then dark clouds will permanently block the sun from the earth, and there will be earthquakes and floods and all sorts of natural disasters, and dragons that have lied dormant in caves for years will spring forth into the land and wreak havoc on us all. You know, something like that. Those selfish gay people, bringing back the dragons just so they can have equal rights. The nerve!
But a bunch of Kirk's fellow former child stars disagree with Kirk's totally valid viewpoints. Enough that they all got together and made a Funny or Die video to make a stand against him.
I'll admit it, I did giggle a couple of times. But then I remembered that Kirk has such a tender soul: remember when he got so upset when not everyone agreed with his statements? He was sad that we couldn't "debate these things with greater love and respect," and wanted people to know and trust that his "life's mission is to love all people." I can't even imagine what this video is doing to him right now. He must be beside himself.
Why can't people just let this go? Shame on you, child stars! Kirk has never been anything but loving and kind while explaining why gay people are detrimental and destructive to society, and you have to go and make a video like this? For shame!

Hey Kirk Cameron, the Dark Ages called and they want their… no wait, Kirk, nobody wants you. Ever. Please shut up and crawl under a rock. Your hands are red with the blood of every LGBT person who has committed suicide because bigots like you bullied them.
Add to that he's a closeted gay too. He has always been so. ALWAYS. Just ask the crew of the series he was into while a teenager.

According to research firm Fizziology, the biggest man crush of the year is on Bane's Tom Hardy from "The Dark Knight Rises."
The social media researchers gathered data on male actors who gathered the most buzz on Twitter during each of their last two films. Hardy blew the competition away.
Tom Hardy: 20%
Ryan Gosling: 4%
Channing Tatum: 2%
Like Tatum, Hardy also had three successful films out this year: romantic comedy "This Means War," Weinstein Company's "Lawless," and, of course, "The Dark Knight Rises," which has earned more than $1 billion worldwide.
Hardy was also just cast as the lead in the film adaptation of "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell" video game and book series.
Do you agree?

For a country that claims to embrace "family values," we have a crazy way of showing it.
Case in point: The clamor to start Black Friday shopping — traditionally the day after Thanksgiving — earlier every year, until it's no longer Black Friday but Black Thursday. Thanksgiving? Forget it. There's a sale on big-screen TVs, and that seems to be much more important to many of us.
That said, railing against this — or legislating against this — is like trying to hold back the tide. If shoppers want to shop, they'll do it, even if they have to drive to find a mall that opens on Thanksgiving. And if shoppers are buying, then retailers are going to make darned sure they're open and selling.
That will be the case in New Hampshire this week as several retailers are planning to open their doors on Thanksgiving Day.
In Massachusetts, there's much hand-wringing this year because stores aren't allowed to open on Thanksgiving. It's a vestige of the Colonial blue laws, which regulated morality in what was then a theocracy. Nowadays, we don't allow the government to tell us when to pray or observe a Sabbath, but some of these laws have persisted for other reasons.
A big one is the plight of retail workers, who can't observe holidays if they're required to man a cash register. While everyone understands that essential workers, like nurses and police officers, have to be on duty, accommodating eager — or overeager — shoppers fills no such societal need. And while you can feel pretty sure that company executives are home enjoying turkey dinner, their lower-level workers will be denied the same privilege.
Another reason is the desire — one we understand completely — to preserve a vestige of sanity and calm in what can become an all-too-hectic season. It's the reason we prohibited Sunday openings for so long, a yearning for a day of peace and reflection where we can relax with family or friends or follow our own spiritual paths, far from the siren call of bargain basements and one-day-only sales.

I try not to be bias as a fan of Floyed, with that I said I do feel he will win in two weeks.
But make no mistake, there is real danger in front of him. I give Canelo a real chance in this fight and not just a punchers chance.
As the fight draws closer Im starting to feel a win in Canelo's favor would be better for the sport. Not only would it generate huge interest in a rematch but also reshape the current landscape.
Floyed is always prepared so a loss wouldn't be fluke, and Canelo should get all the credit he would deserve. And Ipersonally wouldn't be too upset being its a young skilled opponent as opposed to some bum with a hard shot.
This isn't a tactical thread, but on the business side of things what would be better for the sport? Not just with this fight but any upcoming fight...
Marquez winning over Bradley (which I feel he will)
Matthyse over Garcia...
Im happy these fights are taking place because there is a real chance for the sport to go in a different direction

a canelo win could be real big. it would be the passing of the torch like dlh did for floyd and pacquiao. if dlh won those fights those guys would not matter (mainstream wise). instead those 2 have carried the sports since. it would be good if canelo could win this fight. rematch would be HUGE.
canelo needs to at least give floyd all he can handle. he can't go out like guerrero.

Detailed Description of the Papers
A Guide to the Bernard Rapoport Papers, 1913-
Biographical Note
Texas philanthropist and entrepreneur Bernard Rapoport (1917-2012) founded the multi-million dollar American Income Life Insurance Company. With his wife, he established the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Foundation to support organizations in Israel and Waco as well as the University of Texas and numerous other educational, welfare, and political projects. The couple heavily supported and contributed to the Texas Democratic Party and candidates and political groups in the United States, including Bill and Hilary Rodham Clinton, Ralph Yarborough, Ann Richards, Ted Kennedy, Lloyd Bentsen, and George McGovern.
Born in San Antonio on July 17, 1917, Rapoport learned from an early age the importance of family, community, and generosity. His parents David and Riva Rapoport had fled Russia following their participation in the revolution of 1905. They instilled in their son and daughter Idel the importance of education, political freedom, Judaism, and generosity. During the Great Depression, Rapoport worked his way through the University of Texas (UT), graduating with a degree in economics in 1939 and marrying Audre Newman three years later.
In 1951, Rapoport and his wife's uncle Harold Goodman founded the American Income Life Insurance Company (AIL) with $25,000 in Indianapolis, moving the headquarters to Waco in 1958. Under Rapoport's leadership, the company spread into labor union and credit union markets and became one of the first Union Label insurance companies. In 1994, the insurance and financial services holding company Torchmark Corporation purchased AIL for $563 million.
Rapoport spent most of his life actively supporting the Democratic Party, starting with his membership in the Progressive Democrats while at UT and Homer Rainey's gubernatorial campaign in 1944. He later supported Ralph Yarborough, Frances "Sissy" Farenthold, Ann Richards, Ted Kennedy, Alan Cranston, and George McGovern, during whose campaign in 1972 Bernard met Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. From 1974 onward, Rapoport donated to every one of Clinton's campaigns and served as fundraiser for both of his presidential bids.
The Rapoports founded the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Foundation in 1987. Annual contributions supported the state of Israel, the University of Texas at Austin, the Waco community, and other worthwhile projects, including the Jerusalem Foundation, Planned Parenthood, the Institute for Policy Studies, and Paul Quinn College. The Bernard and Audre Rapoport Academy in the Waco Independent School District is named in honor of their support. Furthermore, he believed in the protection of free speech and freedom of the press, contributing to the Texas Observer for fifty years, first as an advertiser and later as a member of the board of the newspaper's publisher Texas Democracy Foundation.
Rapoport's time at the University of Texas (UT) greatly influenced his success in life, and his pride in his alma mater resulted in both financial and service contributions to the University. In 1991, Ann Richards appointed Rapoport to the UT System Board of Regents, on which he served as chairman from 1993 until his retirement from the board in 1997. During his tenure, the board approved the South Texas-Border Initiative to increase access to higher education in South Texas, the purchasing power of the Permanent University Fund increased, and the University created the UT Investment Management Company. Rapoport also established or contributed to numerous endowments for scholarships and chairs in economics and the liberal arts and funding the Blanton Museum of Art and the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice. Named in recognition of the couple, the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Building on the UT-Austin campus houses the College of Liberal Arts.
In 2002, the University of Texas Press in the Briscoe Center's Focus on American History Series published Rapoport's memoir, Being Rapoport: Capitalist with a Conscience, as told to Briscoe Center director Dr. Don Carleton. Currently, the Briscoe Center in collaboration with the Rapoport Foundation and UT Libraries is working on a project to digitize the memoir as well as numerous historical documents and photographs to accompany the text for a revised and enhanced digital edition of Being Rapoport.

After going 8-5 during their first season in the Pac-12, the Utah Utes will begin their 2012 season Thursday night against Northern Colorado.
Utah is poised for a big season in 2012 with a number of significant contributors returning. Many analysts consider it to be the second best team in the Pac-12 South division, just behind USC. After missing the final nine games of the 2011 season with a shoulder injury, Jordan Wynn will be back under center for the Utes against Northern Colorado.
Even though Wynn is back, Utah's attack against the Bears will still likely feature plenty of senior running back John White. White rushed for 1,519 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. He led the Pac-12 in yards and was third in rushing touchdowns.
On defense, Utah features one of the best defensive linemen in the country. Star Lotulelei is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, defensive players in all of college football. He will give the Northern Colorado offensive line plenty of problems on Thursday.
The Bears, who play in the FCS Big Sky Conference, finished 0-11 last season. Having to begin their 2012 season facing one of the best running backs and defensive linemen in the country will not be an easy task.

Hundreds of council homes set for Basildon (From Basildon Recorder)

Hundreds of council homes set for Basildon
6:00am Friday 31st January 2014 in News
HUNDREDS of council houses are to be built in a multi-million pound plan to plug the gap in social housing in Basildon.
Basildon Council is pressing ahead with setting up its own housing development company to build on council-owned derelict land in the borough.
Senior council officials have said the company will cost at least £2.5million to set up and will deliver hundreds of new homes.
It is part of a £5million package of improvements for Basildon housing.
Phil Turner, the deputy leader of the Tory administration, said: "The profit from this will go towards the community, will go to taxpayers and will go towards addressing social issues."
About 5,000 residents are on the council's waiting list for social housing.
Mr Turner said the main focus would be on helping those people first.
However, the authority will also look to build shared accommodation and homes to sell, to generate profit from the scheme.
The Tory authority's cabinet will next week rubber-stamp investing £200,000 into the company, before adding at least £2.5million later on when there is a proper business plan.
The money will come from £12.2million Mr Turner is proposing to transfer from Basildon Council's reserves into the authority's housing budget, to be invested in phases over the coming years.
This would be the first time it has done that in years.
More council money could also be pushed into the scheme at a later date to deliver homes, with profits from the project also set to be put back into the fund.
Cash will also be invested in the council's existing stock, estate clean-ups, and anti-fraud measures.
Mr Turner said the council will target land it owns and even knock down derelict garages and small buildings to make way for the houses, which will be small scale at first.
He added the council may even look to buy pockets of land to develop, if the company is a success.
He added: "There's a risk with everything, but this is both measured and managed.
"This isn't political gratification.
"This is about hard and fast economics – putting in £1 and getting £1.50 back."
The authority would normally sell off land and then the housebuilders will keep all profits.
While the authority will have to use builders to actually construct the homes, the council will keep a large proportion of the profits and have control over the building.
A fuller company brief is expected to be unveiled in the summer.

Devils Advocate says...
I am sure they actually mean "Publicly owned land" a little like Gloucester Park. Strange too, that most of the modern council houses are now "Managed" by housing associations and regarded as "Social housing" rather than "Council Houses" it is getting very confusing living in today's world when the publicity aimed at confusing citizens begins to confuse it's perpetrators instead!
Only a little while ago the decision to scrap the part of the Gloucester park sell out whereby the builders were meant to include some affordable housing there, but have decided not to build those after all. Smacks of elitism once more of course!

Let's hope these aren't then sold to the tennents like before, other sprawling urban areas, such as Canvey could do with some large council estates.
Desperate need for new council houses = sell off the ones you already have.
The picture becomes ever more clear. Not doing bad for a country so broken by Labour, it can finance all the other countries that are supposedly broke and still have enough in those empty coffers to finance all this.
Same old same old, same as it ever was!

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, about half your calories should come from carbohydrates. If you know how many calories you need each day (use my calorie calculators), you can figure out how many grams of carbs you need:
- Start by determining your daily calorie need and divide that number in half. That's how many calories should come from carbohydrates.
- Each gram of carbohydrate has four calories. Divide the number you got from the first step by four.
- The final number is equal to the amount of carbohydrates in grams you need each day.
For example, a person who eats approximately 2,000 calories per day should take in about 250 grams of carbohydrates (2,000 divided by 2 = 1,000 and 1,000 divided by 4 = 250).
Which Carbs are Which
Carbohydrates include complex carbohydrates, like starches, and simple sugars such as white sugar, high fructose corn syrup and honey. Choose 100-percent whole grains, and fruits and vegetables for most of your carbohydrates.
Balance your carbohydrate choices with protein sources such as lean meat, poultry, eggs, or fish, and some healthy fat such as olive oil, avocado or nuts and seeds.
Refined Sugars
Avoid sugary snacks, pastries, sugar-sweetened soft drinks, candy, and cookies. A lot of processed foods contain added sugars, even those that don't taste sweet. These foods may contain too many calories while offering little or no nutritional value.
Additional Tips for Tracking Your Carbohydrate Intake
- Find the carbohydrate grams on the Nutrition Facts labels on packaged foods. You'll find calorie information there too, but be sure to double-check the serving size and number of servings per package.
- Use the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference to calculate carbohydrate amounts for fresh foods. This is a large database that's updated regularly.
- Keep a food diary to track your information. You can print out your own pages and keep them in a notebook.
- Join Calorie Count to track calories, carbohydrates, and all the other nutrients, plus you'll find suggestions for a healthy diet. They also have a great smart phone app so you can track your calories when you're away from your computer.

An angry parent is demanding answers after a school bus driver dropped his daughter off along a busy road in Clayton County.Lavae Lewis, a student at Lake Ridge Elementary in Riverdale, is enrolled in an off-campus afterschool program. The girl wears a special wristband indicated how she's supposed to be transported home. The school staff was supposed to put the 7-year-old girl on that day care center's van when school let out Monday, but somehow she received the wrong wristband and was placed on a school bus.The child ended up on a busy intersection. A teacher from the school saw the child and knew she didn't belong there, picked her up and brought her back to the school.Lavae's father, Laurence Lewis, can't understand how the mix-up occurred."Somehow or another, they put her on a bus and then put her off on Highway 87. A 7-year-old little girl. And I want to know what happened," said Lewis.School district spokesman David Waller says an investigation is underway to determine what went wrong. "Unfortunately when you're dealing with 52,000 students, occasionally things like this happen. Obviously even one is too many and we strive to do everything that we can to make sure that these kind of things don't happen," said Waller. Waller said an investigation is underway to find out how the mistake happened.Lewis is upset no one from the school called him after the mix-up. He met with school officials on Tuesday and believes the school bus driver should face disciplinary action.Any employees found responsible could face re-training, suspension or even be terminated.
A fifth arrest has been made in connection with the murder of a 13-year-old in his own bedroom on Sunday.

Diego Forlan, playing in a withdrawn role from forwards Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, has been the dominant player of the first half, creating scoring opportunities for La Celeste and adding the team's first goal of the tournament.
Forlan's goal from 22 yards out resulted from a deflection, sending the ball looping over South African goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune for the match's only goal.
Beyond scoring, Forlan in his different role his added vitality to the Uruguay attack. Always a forward that will drop back from an advanced position, Forlan is being used as a full-fledged supporting striker against Uruguay. The result has seen Forlan with a lot of the ball and Uruguay with better passing and movement.
South Africa went the first half without a shot on goal.

A survey by a website finds many female students have turned to the "Sugar Baby" lifestyle to help fund their education.
A recent growth showed that 15 percent more college students are graduated in 2012 debt free by using "sugar daddies," men who help women financially while receiving some sort of "benefit" from the relationship.
The website SeekingArrangement.com has released its 2012 list of Sugar Baby Alma Maters.
"College students are attracted to this lifestyle because it's honest, open, and ultimately beneficial," says Brandon Wade, Founder and CEO of SeekingArrangement.com. "Granted, the terms of any mutually beneficial arrangement are uniquely catered. But all enable Sugar Babies to pursue their goals through the generosity of the benefactor."
Approximately 37 million Americans have outstanding student loan debt. In 2011, approximately 52 percent of college Sugar Babies graduated debt free because of their mutually beneficial arrangements, but in 2012 that number jumped by 15%.
The following are the schools with the most female college students graduating thanks to Sugar Daddies, as well as the growth from the previous year.
Top Sugar Baby Alma Maters of 2012 - % growth in students graduating using Sugar Daddies
1. New York University – 201%
2. Temple University – 207%
3. Georgia State University –-297%
4. Kent State University (Ohio) –-197%
5. Arizona State University—252%
6. University of Georgia –-163%
7. University of Houston –-188%
8. Florida State University –-240%
9. University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee—154%
10. University of South Florida—148%
11. Michigan State University –-243%
12. Alabama University—260%
13. Tulane University—252%
14. Penn State University—158%
15. Ohio University---173%
"While financial security is an important factor in any arrangement, there are other benefits that add just as much value to a Sugar Baby's life," says Wade. "Women gain mentorship and networking opportunities through their Sugar Daddies. These benefactors have established themselves in society and know what it takes to succeed."
Wikipedia defines the "sugar daddy-sugar baby" relationship as that in which an older man offers money or gifts to a younger person in return for companionship.

text: I have a lead on some type of rotary weeder for a Super A. I have looked them up in the implements manual for Super A to see what was available. There it shows the device break down but I'm confused as to how many you might need of the No.6 or No.11 weeders. How do they attach to the 144 Cultivator frame and how do they function? To go and look at them is quite a distance from me so I want to be sure before I make the trip. The gentleman said that they have a shank and clamp to be used on the front of the cultivator setup but I've not seen that style in the book. I didn't ask if they were IH so they may be from Agri-Supply he just said that they would fit a Super A or 140.

The entertainment staff was ok, at times cheesy. The newlywed show was funny. The comedian was ok as well. The kids enjoyed the shows.
As far as the kids club went, my 9 year old said it was boring. At certain times they have themes and do entertainment with the kids but it was always starting at 10:30pm when after a long day at ports and dinner, it's time for bed.
Cons - The beds are terrible. My body ached every morning i woke up. There was a restaurant above our room so at 4am every morning someone would move stuff back and forth and wake you up. Bring your own pillow. The pillows are flat as a pancake. Our room always seemed warm compared to others in our group. Some in our group brought fans with them, i highly suggest this to keep the circulation flowing in the room since they are so tiny. Bathroom was a good size and always had hot water. Don't bring your own hairdryer, you can't use it anyway and their is one in every bathroom.
Next, something that really irritated me was every time you went outside you would get blasted by someone smoking. This ship does not have a designated area for smoking outside, people are able to smoke anywhere outside. The casino is the worst, sometimes your eyes will burn because of all the smoke.
So one night some in our group wanted to pull an all-nighter and party on the boat. First, you have to find a party. None of the bands at night or nightly entertainment couldn't attract more than 20 people. So the only thing that ever had any nightlife was the casino, again, if you can stand the smoke.
The drinks are good but very pricey. Beer will cost you $6.00-7.00 a beer plus 15% gratuity. Fruity drinks will cost you between $6-9. If you want it in a souvenir cup you have to pay $2.00 more and don't even get a price break if you get a refill.
PORTS: Costa Maya was great, go to Nohoch Kay, an all-inclusive day pass - $40.00 per person. Food is awesome. They even bring drinks to you in the ocean.
Belize - Cavetubing and Ziplining with Butts Up! Great group of guys, will do anything to make your trip a success.
Honduras - Our favorite stop, its a beautiful island. We rented a van and toured the island and ended up on a beach front drinking fruity drinks and eating some awesome food.
Cozumel - There was a lot of ships there this day but was able to get around town just fine. We swam with the dolphins at the Park. The park was a beautiful place, i strongly suggest to spend all day at the park and skip the shopping. Book through the park, they always have specials. We got 2 for 1 special when we booked. $50.00 per person.
We ported from New Orleans and parked in the parking garage across from the port. The shuttle is free and they are fast and friendly. Pre-pay with them before you go and you only pay $3.00 a day instead the $12.00 they want when you arrive.
DO NOT BOOK EXCURSIONS THROUGH THE CRUISE SHIP. Do them all before you go. You will pay twice as much.
I hope this helps. I read other reviews before i went and i agree with some of the other writers. It's a nice cruise ship and will cruise again but will try another cruise ship/line. The majority age on this cruise 50-70 year olds.

Tuition & Financial Aid:
Because it is a shortened course you receive less assistance and when I inquired about needing additional assistance as a single mother. I was given a web site to find them for myself. I had hoped they would genuinely care for their students and want to help make their career advancement as smooth as possible.
Academic Experience:
There is a lot of material that is given to you in a short time, but it is understood as this is an acclerated program. Sometimes the work load is overwhelming to me simply because of my life outside of school.
Student Body:
For the most part, I really enjoy my classmates. Several them will be long time friends. Those that are less than desirable due to drama they create and choices they make tend to really stand out because they are the minority. Most of us are accutely aware of what we are paying to be there and work hard to accomplish our goals.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I have not had any problems with the financial aid thus far, though some of my fellow students have especially when they have a situation that affects their attendance.
Academic Flexibility:
I chose this school after speaking with several veterinarians in the area and because it fit around my work schedule. Another reason I like this school is it is an excellerated program which means I don't not have to be away from my family as long.
Academic Flexibility:
They really push the importance of perfect attendance. I missed school with my very sick child and notified my teacher the night before and morning of I wouldn't be able to make it and lost 10% on my test. They should be understanding that life happens.
Academic Experience:
I love my classes. they are very fast paced and can be overwhelming at times but the teachers are there to help you succeed. They lay their expectations out early and let you work along at a very reasonable pace.
Career Services:
Placement Office WONDERFUL! The veterinary assistant placement directors are wonderful! They care about your life and truly want to help you succeed!
Campus Resources:
Strong Support System – From the moment I walked through the front doors at Pima Medical Institute I felt like I was walking into the warmth of a home. I was immrdiately greeted and the faculty was friendly. They provided me with answers to every question my mother and I had, and if they did not know an answer, they found someone who did.My veterinary assisting teacher was quite positively the best teacher I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. By the time we were done with class and were ready for our externship, our class had become it's own small family. I know the cost is expensive to go to Pima, but from my experiences there, every dollar was a dollar well spent.I am thrilled with my choice of a college and I hope that I will find a school as wonderful as Pima when I apply for veterinary school.
Overall Experience:
I Haven't Applied for This School Yet. I haven't applied for this school yet. Waiting to see if I get a scholarship. I am already paying student loans. I do not wish to add to those.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I Haven't Applied for This College Yet. I haven't applied for this colege yet. I need a scholarship first.
Student Body:
aLL THE STUDENTS WERE REALLY NICE AND SOCIAL AND IT WAS EASY TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE
Academic Flexibility:
i HAD FRUSTRATIONS WITH ACADEMICS BECASUE i HAD 2 DIFFERENT TEACHERS AND THEY TAUGHT DIFFERNTLY AND i FELT i DIDN'T LEARN AS MUCH AS i COULD
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Ok I Guess – The lady was very nice, but when i asked her is she could help me fill out the FASFA, she looked at me funny and said " dont you have a comp." They don't their job. i was in and out with as little efoort as possible
