The Doctor of Philosophy in Education with a concentration in literacy leadership is a degree with unique focus to prepare individuals as literacy professionals for leadership and supervisory roles, teaching literacy curriculum and instruction in higher education, and/or consulting for educational organizations or private industry. With a solid grounding in assessment, evaluation, and quantitative and qualitative research, the rigorous course of study provides an opportunity for students to develop a strong background in literacy with a leadership emphasis while providing the flexibility to pursue individual interests.
Possession of this degree often provides those who have earned it with entry into business, government, research and other leadership positions. The PhD in Education with a concentration in literacy leadership is intended to prepare individuals for these roles and to provide them with the skills to carry out scholarly research and add to the body knowledge in the field. The curriculum described below contains elements that will, if completed successfully, provide research expertise, literacy leadership skills and experience, and the ability to serve the nation's schools, colleges and universities and contribute to global education.
Contact Dr. Charlene Fleener firstname.lastname@example.com 757-683-3284
For admission to this program, individuals should have a completed master's degree in an appropriate discipline from a regionally accredited university. Degrees that are equivalent to a master's degree such as L.L.B., J.D., and D.D.S. are acceptable. Prospective students should also have prior course work in statistics, and curriculum and instruction. If this assumption is not met, then additional course work will be added to the candidate's graduate program of study. Please see prerequisites on the curriculum description for specifics.
Application requirements for the PhD in Education Concentration Literacy Leadership are as follows:
- A completed application form which is available online or from the Office of Graduate Admissions.
- Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate courses and degrees completed.
- Official report scores from the Graduate Record Examination (verbal, quantitative, and analytical) taken within the last five years. GRE scores expire after five years; however, candidates who have completed the exam prior to five years before the application deadline may submit those scores for consideration if they are provided from an official source such as transcript or form provided by the Educational Testing Service. Old Dominion University reserves the right to determine what is an "official source."
- Applicants whose native language is not English must submit a current score for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOFEL) of at least 600 (written) or 250 (computer based).
- Applicants must submit a 1500 word statement of their academic and professional goals with an emphasis on how the Ph.D. degree in Literacy Leadership will contribute to the achievement of the stated goals.
- Three letters of reference from sources capable of commenting on the applicant's readiness for advanced graduate study. It is recommended that these letters come from employment supervisors and/or university faculty members.
- An interview with the Literacy Leadership Program Committee. This committee will also review applications for admission.
Under normal circumstances, admissions will be offered once a year in order to build efficient cohort groups for this type of advanced study. In order to enhance the experience of the students and to increase the efficiency by which courses are offered, a cohort of 10-15 students will be admitted each year. This limited number of students is necessary to assure that there is an adequate number of full-time faculty to serve the students through advising and other duties, particularly when the cohorts reach the dissertation stage of the program.
Applicants must submit completed applications and all related materials no later than March 1 of each year, and students will be admitted for study beginning in June or July of the same year.
The Ph.D. program in Education with a concentration in Literacy Leadership is comprised of courses totaling a minimum of 60 academic credit hours beyond the master's degree. The curriculum includes several parts including an introductory core of 6 credits, a content area with 24 credits, a research component including 15 credit hours, the 3 credit dissertation seminar and the dissertation, which will include a minimum of 12 credit hours. The dissertation will often include more then 12 credit hours depending on the length of time necessary for completion.
To build a cohesive cohort group, the introductory core will be offered on the Old Dominion University campus each summer. It will be expected that all newly admitted students will come to campus for these courses during the summer after which they are admitted to the program. Residency for a second intensive set of courses the following summer is recommended but not required.
A minimum of two semesters of full-time study is required of students in the program to meet University residency requirements. One of the semesters of full-time study (defined as completion of nine credit hours fall and spring or six credits during the summer) must be accomplished by the completion of the intensive summer noted above. The second semester of residency can be accomplished in several ways. Students may complete nine credit hours during any spring or fall semester or may take six credits during the summer.
Program Completion and Exit
In order to complete the program students must fully comply with the curriculum below, all requirements noted elsewhere in the University catalog for graduate students, and within the PhD in Education Handbook..

· Reiken Focal - Your Experience
I purchased Rieken's Focal tool for micro focus adjustment (MFA) on my 5D Mk II body. I chose their cheapest, non-automated software set. I am having the darndest time getting consistent results. To be fair, they do say that auto focusing systems have big variability, but I am having a hard time finding even an average result set.
Question: What is your experience and do you have any tips? Should I just upgrade for 20 more BPs and get the automatic tool that averages for you? Does anyone have the manual version and what is your experience with it?
While the documentation is plenty, the actual instructions for manual use is actually only about a few short paragraphs long and I am wondering what I can do to improve my technique. One thing I did do, was have the target professionally printed on thick matte paper both in regular size and a much larger target for my 500mm lens (which consistently back focused a ton). I shot with the target lit with both ambient sunlight as well as a few incandescent bulbs. I shot at various distances both longer, spot on, and shorter than Canon's recommended 50x. I also shot at various lens mm such as long, short, and mid zoom and even populated an excel spreadsheet with my results. My results were all over the map. Then as a test, for my 24-105, I had what I thought was a good average of say +3 MFA, I would shove the stetting to -6 MFA and got almost the same high QoF. Sheesh!!!
I purchased Reiken's Focal tool for MFA because.... well... I like gadgets and what the heck. Before Focal, I used focusing targets on my monitor at 100% and used focus/live view to adjust MFA (using moire pattern). This method worked really really well with generally consistent results. Of my 4 lenses and 1.4x teleconverter (equals 6 combinations), only 70-200 2.8 IS II lens was spot on and needed no adjustment. This also proved itself in the field where shooting say ducks in the water, I could see consistent rear focusing on one of my lenses out of the box. In short, MFA has improved my keepers no doubt about it.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

I initially bought the cheapest version too and also had all sorts of problems with it. The visual adjustments did not correlate at all with the graph, the results were all over the place, and I ended up wasting a lot of time with it.
Do yourself a favour and upgrade to the Pro version. It works much better and the results are consistent and repeatable.

Thanx guys (gals?):
I kinda figured I would have to do that. Your comment about consistency and repeatability put me over the edge... just ordered the upgrade.
Given that I am a geek, I will compare the results with the target/moire method.

I don't how about Focal. I checked it out but wound up with MTD Focus Tune. I have a Lens Align already so it just worked and the price was right.
I had a few similar issues right off like getting consistent results with it though. But I read their forum and "developed " my technicque and things just fell into place. Maybe you just need to suffer through use and do something similar?
I'm still pondering my results. I own a mix of new and older Nikon glass and one Tokina lens. The Tokina needed the most adjustment on my D800 but every lens I put through the tests could use some adjustment, what's weirdly consistent is that my older AF-S D glass all yielded the exact same results in terms of adjustment value. All my G glass also fell into the exact same value range. The G glass was not far from zero and the D glass only a bit more. I did repeated tests and got the same results. Have people using Focal seen this sort of behavior as well?
And, sample pictures so far have shown the Tokina adjustment to matter, the others "seem" sharper, more defined but I don't have d800 samples for every lens, only a few.
Shot to shot variance reports do show interesting data too....but this is pretty far off topic already.

I just did MFA with FoCal Pro today. 50 f1.8, 16-35 Mk II f2.8, 24-70 f2.8, 70-200 Mk II f2.8. I left 100-400 and Canon 1.4 Mk II extender for later, when Canon releases firmware update for 5D III.
All in all, took me 90 minutes. Most time is taken by moving tripod (target was fixed on the wall) to correct distance (50 times focal length). Took me 3 minutes to align target properly first time. Less than 30 seconds after that. Too bad 5D III works only in semi-automatic mode (I did not use target optimization). Once you memorize buttons, changing MFA value is quite fast (Menu+OK+Info+OK+Roll to specified value).
As expected, plastic fantastic needed largest adjustment +13. 16-35 Mk II was sent two years ago to Canon for adjustment and didn't need any additional adjustment (left at 0 on both ends). 24-70 needed -1 on wide end, and +1 on tele end. 70-200 Mk2 ended up with +2 on wide and 0 on tele end.
I used latest Windows beta version on Windows 8 x64. Checking real images after adjustment I can only see obvious improvement with 50 f1.8. Rest is mostly academic, or just feeling good about it.
I have yet to get familiar with other tests (other focus points, aperture tests, etc.).

Yes, ZF.2 lenses. Adjusting the viewfinder to match the liveview is important on manual lenses too. You just cannot use the fully automatic settings on Focal.

Williston, Vermont - April 12, 2011
It's a typical weekday morning on Vermont's roads where a school bus that's anything but typical is making the rounds.
"We cover anywhere in Chittenden County," Amanda Poquette says from her seat behind the wheel of Gulliver's Doggie Daycare's 'Gully Bus,' a bright purple bus outfitted with dog crates instead of seats.
Amanda Poquette is used to these "ruff" rides because her passengers are all the four-legged friends of hard working Vermonters.
"They treat their animals like their kids and the dogs are basically their children," manager Lisa Primo says of Gulliver's clients.
Every day about 100 dogs spend their waking hours at Gulliver's Doggie Daycare in Williston, but the staff at Gulliver's says that loving owners don't consider doggie day care a luxury.
"When you ask the average dog owner, most of them will say 'I'll give up food before I give up my dog,'" Primo says.
Twelve years ago a day at Gulliver's cost $14. Today it's $16, a minimal increase that Primo says keeps people and their dogs coming back even in tough times.
Unlike most businesses which have seen a downturn during the recession, Gulliver's says the recession has actually brought them new clients and more business.
Primo says many people are working extra shifts to make ends meet and that's driving more of them toward doggie day cares.
"Because people work longer hours we introduced the bus system so those people that had to increase their shifts to maybe 12-hour shifts can still enjoy day care," she says.
The 'Gully Bus' costs $5 each way and owners can even leave their house keys with the day care staff in case they have to leave for work before the bus arrives.
In fact, Gulliver's recently bought a second bus so they can keep picking up the pooches even when the 'Gully Bus' is undergoing repairs. Primo says this is key because a growing number of people are finding they have less time to play with their dogs.
"People who bring their dogs here notice the change," she says. "They notice they have a quieter, calmer dog at home."
One business that stands as proof that while many people are still digging their way out of the recession, some have stayed ahead of the pack.

A perfect combination of Altbier with the imperial accolade of high alcohol contenet from Cerveceria Primus in Mexico City brewed by the Andreu Cousins.
Color: Deep amber copper redish with medium head formation and medium lace retention. Pours very good in the glass.
Aroma: Great aromas of sweet malts, coffee, fresh yeast and hops.
Taste: Chocolate, roasted coffee, sweet malts and great balance of hops. Very nice amount of alcohol.
Finish: Dry finish with bitter aftertaste and sweet chocolate at the very end. Very nice beer.

3.98/5 rDev +3.4%
Appearance- Pours brilliant, pale amber with deep orange highlights. Soapy off-white head rises and quickly falls with big bubbles rising from the glass.
Aroma- Caramel malt with faint notes of raisin, light brown sugar, and herbal hops.
Flavor- Starts very similar to aroma and flavors intensify into a nicely balanced malty sweet and earthy hop spice middle. Almost has a pumpernickel breadiness in finish with the confluence of the caramel/raisin malt and moderate-high bitter hop spice. No indication of 7% strength in flavor! Nice lingering herbal hop flavor.
Mouthfeel- Medium to full bodied with some throat warming alcohol. Nice balance but leaning towards hop bitterness- fairly clean with low residual sugars. Moderate CO2 levels.
Overall- Very nice beer that does well for the style in terms of balance! Nice backing malt flavors without overwhelming the delicate herbal hop flavor and bitterness. 7% ABV is well hidden in this brew- so well that it could be a trouble maker! I think I'll have another!

Imperial Altbier?? This beer has double malts and the label says so... and it tastes good man!!
Boasts a beautiful dark brown color, with a yellowish head with a decent life. Pours slightly oily...not like motor oil, but maybe vegetable oil. That's good.
Smells of hops and a pinch of some earthy aromas. Smell is a bit soft to be honest, I expected more.
Redeems with the taste! Nice, mild sweetness, hop acidity and some pleasant alcohol warmth. It has that "aged taste" in it, kinda bit woody. Very cool.
Beautiful medium to thick mouthfeel. Feels very cool.
It's quite drinkable for being a strong beer. It's on the sipper side, you wanna drink it slowly. Dont' pair with chocolate, I tried and they just don't go along.
Otherwise a great beer - I recommend it.

Mexican craft beer made by Andreu Primus,
A: Once served in a weissbier mug seems like cold coffee, very dark brown, almost black, no foamy head, just a few white burrs on the surface;
S: Very malty and dark fruits, figs, pitted prunes;
T: Very good, a complex blend of roasted malt, caramel, coffee, chocolate and raisins;
M: Mildly bitter and dry, robust body, leaves you a coffee flavor in the mouth, i liked the way that hides the ABV;
D: Very good craft beer, if not for the appearance i would give a better qualification.

Bought as a bottle, served in a long glass (as Altbiers should be served).
A - Nice chocolate brown color, yellowish head that sadly did not last very long.
S- Great complex smell, coffee, caramel, yeast, some hops.
T - Malty roasted flavor with strong hints of coffee and a caramel finish.
M - As others have said, it feels very viscous, strong and complex, not much CO2. Very pleasant.
D - Very small hint of ethanol, definitely could drink two or three consecutive beers. After drinking 75% of the beer you start to feel the 7% of ABV, warming.

Served in the restaurant La Biznaga in Oaxaca City, Oaxaca, Mexico. Poured form a bottle into an appropriate glass.
A- The bottle had the style, alcohol, serving temp and best by date on it as well as a friendly reminder that is had "doble malta". Poured looking like an authentic German Altbier. Dark amber in color and crystal clear with an off-white rich head and lingered and left trace lacing.
S- The smell was complex starting with an abundance of malty aromas accompanied by subtle yeasty notes followed by toasted bread crust. Very aromatic!
T- Uber malty! Rich and smooth malt profile that was cut through by the carbonation. Bready flavors were noticed first with plenty of caramel lasting the whole sip. Hop profile was nothing special but appropriately bitter for the style.
M- Once again, thick and smooth with just enough mild carbonation to balance.
D- Very drinkable and went extremely well with mole coloradito con pollo. This was such a pleasant surprise to find in Mexico where 90% of the beers are mass produced lagers. I will be searching this one out here in the states. If you are able to find this rare ale, treat yourself. You will not be disapointed.

I been a big fan of belgian style beers and I'm very disappointed of the average Mexican beers but this one is really a hit.
Amber caramel, Head not as expected it goes fast and just left traces.
Excellent aroma some hops, the malta is more than evident and maybe coffe.
Sweet beginning and bitternes with alcohol taste at the very ending.

Ambient music is a musical genre that is generally identifiable as being broadly atmospheric and environmental in nature. Ambient music evolved from early 20th century forms of semi-audible music, from the impressionism of Erik Satie, through "musique concrete" and the minimalism of Terry Riley and Philip Glass, and Brian Eno's deliberate sub-audible approach. Later developments found the dreamy non-linear elements of ambient music applied to some forms of rhythmic music presented in chill-out rooms at raves and other dance events...

Staff reports
The Eagle-Tribune
---- — The man police say killed 28 people, including 20 children, at a Connecticut school today has family roots in Haverhill and Southern New Hampshire.
Police identified the killer as Adam Lanza, 20, who they said took his own life at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., a prosperous community of 27,000 people about 60 miles northeast of New York City. Some reports suggest he might have been a former student of the school.
At least one parent said Lanza's mother was a substitute teacher there. But her name did not appear on a staff list. And the law enforcement official said investigators were unable to establish any connection so far between her and the school.
His older brother, Ryan Lanza, was taken into custody in New Jersey for questioning. Earlier, a police source mistakenly identified Ryan as the killer. Ryan Lanza had been extremely cooperative and was not under arrest or in custody, but investigators were still searching his computers and phone records. Ryan Lanza told law enforcement he had not been in touch with his brother since about 2010.
The brothers are the sons of Peter Lanza, 54, and Nancy (Champion) Lanza. The parents were married in Kingston, N.H., in 1981, according to town records. Adam Lanza was born in Kingston in 1992.
Peter Lanza was living in Amesbury when he married and his wife was living in Kingston. Peter Lanza formerly lived in Haverhill and Plaistow.
It is not clear when the Lanzas and their two sons moved to Connecticut, though records indicate their property in New Hampshire was sold in 1998.
Adam Lanza was described as an honors student, who lived in a prosperous neighborhood with his mother, a well-liked woman who enjoyed hosting dice games and decorating the house for the holidays.
The 20-year-old may have suffered from a personality disorder, law enforcement officials said. So far, authorities have not spoken publicly of any possible motive. Witnesses said the shooter didn't utter a word.
A grandmother of the suspect — who is also the mother of Nancy Lanza — was too distraught to speak when reached by phone at her home in Brooksville, Fla.
"I just don't know, and I can't make a comment right now," Dorothy Hanson, 78, said in a shaky voice as she started to cry. She said she hadn't heard anything official about her daughter and grandsons. She declined to comment further and hung up.
Police say Adam Lanza drove to the school this morning in his mother's car, entered the school and killed 20 children and six adults before committing suicide. Nancy Lanza was found dead at home in Connecticut, bringing the toll to 28.
Several family members still live in the Haverhill area. No one answered the door at the home of an uncle of the killer in Plaistow. When a woman pulled into the driveway, a man yelled from the back, instructing the woman to come inside and not to talk to a reporter outside. Someone then pulled down the shades in the front windows of the house. A short time later, police arrived and asked the reporter to leave.
The shooter's grandfather, Peter Lanza, who died two years ago at age 83, was born and raised in Haverhill and also lived in Plaistow.
He was an investment broker and insurance salesman with the John Hancock Life Insurance Co. He also played bass in the former Ray Gardella Band.
Peter and Nancy Lanza filed for divorce in 2008, according to court records. Peter Lanza, now lives in Stamford, Conn., and he reportedly works as a tax director for General Electric.
Nancy Lanza is the sister of Kingston Police Officer James Champion. Last night, there were reports that the FBI was in Kingston speaking with the James Champion, but that hasn't been confirmed.
Material from the Associated Press was used in this report.

Program Highlights
Mount Sinai's Department of Medicine has a long academic tradition until recently participating in an integrated Residency Program with Chicago Medical School/Rosalind Franklin University. With this rich history, we find ourselves at an exciting juncture with the creation of a separate entity of Mount Sinai Hospital Internal Medicine Residency Training Program. As a separate program recruiting its own residents, we offer 12 PGY1 categorical Internal Medicine positions along with three preliminary year positions. Mount Sinai Hospital residents will continue to experience the rich educational experience afforded by this institution over the last 93 years.
This is an exciting time for Mount Sinai Hospital. With the starting of our own Internal Medicine Residency Program, we are also witnessing some major changes with plans for construction of a new outpatient facility and future plans for a new inpatient bed tower. We are also transitioning gradually to completely electronic medical records system with integration of inpatient and outpatient services. With our dedicated faculty and our emphasis on "back-to-the bedside" medicine, we continue to strive to create an environment of well-rounded academic learning.
Our PGY1 year is designed to have typically 6-7 in-patient floor rotations, 1-2 medical ICU/step-down unit rotations, 2-3 medical sub-specialty rotations, 1 consult rotation, and 1 night float rotation along with half-day continuity clinics held once a week.
Residents are provided around the clock supervision by an academic hospitalist group and staff physicians.
High priority for teaching with daily didactic sessions such as morning reports and noon conferences. In addition, we offer monthly journal clubs, a hospitalist conference, research updates sessions, EKG conferences, and primary care conferences. These academic activities are primarily resident-driven with faculty input.
Research is an integral part of our program and residents are strongly encouraged to participate in intra-mural and extra-mural research with faculty guidance and supervisions. Many of our current residents have published and presented articles in national conferences.
Our residency program allows ample time for social events and personal life.
Great camaraderie among the residents is one of our prominent strengths and affords us the ability to work and have fun together.
Being in one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the world, we have come to enjoy every aspect of work and play while at Mount Sinai and truly make our residency experience academically rewarding, successful and pleasant.
We are transitioning gradually to a complete electronic medical records system with integration of inpatient and outpatient services. With our dedicated faculty and our emphasis on "back-to-the bedside" medicine, we continue to strive to create an environment of well-rounded academic learning.

SYDNEY (AP) -- Former Juventus and Italy striker Alessandro Del Piero gave Sydney FC a 12th-minute lead but two Ryan Griffiths penalties, including the second with a minute left in regular time, gave the Newcastle Jets a 2-2 draw in the A-League on Saturday.
Blake Powell's 57th-minute goal gave Sydney a 2-1 lead, but Griffiths' penalty, called when Sydney skipper Terry McFlynn was sent off for a handball from a corner kick, leveled the match.
"I tried to keep my wits about me, it was definitely a bit of pressure," Griffiths said of the late penalty conversion.
Earlier Saturday, Jeremy Brockie's goal in the 41st minute gave Wellington Phoenix a 1-0 win over the Perth Glory.
On Friday, Daniel McBreen's 14th goal of the season in the 80th minute gave the first-place Central Coast Mariners a 2-2 draw with the defending champion Brisbane Roar.
The Mariners have a three-point lead over the Melbourne Victory, who beat the Melbourne Heart 2-1 in a local derby later Saturday.
Archie Thompson gave the Victory a 1-0 lead with the only goal of the first half. Mark Milligan put the Victory up 2-0 before David Williams made the result close with a goal in the 73rd minute.
Albanian striker Besart Berisha scored two goals for Brisbane and new Dutch recruit Stef Nijland, on loan from PSV Eindhoven, made an immediate impact in a 30-minute appearance just 38 hours after flying into Brisbane.
"You better believe it, yeah there's plenty of life and spark," Brisbane coach Mike Mulvey said as his team moved close to a top-six playoff spot. "We're on the road to recovery. We're not there yet because when we're there we'll be able to see out a game like that."
Adelaide plays Western Sydney on Sunday to conclude the 19th round.

BRENTWOOD — Fun under the sun commences the first day of summer at an event featuring free food and beer, music, children's activities and solar demonstrations.
And you'll probably become greener in the bargain.
ReVision Energy, in collaboration with the Surfrider Foundation and the NHSPCA, will hold its Summer Solstice Celebration from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., on Fri., June 21, at ReVision's office, 7 Commercial Drive, Brentwood. Also participating at the event will be the Green Alliance and its business partners EZ Bikes & Scooters and AutoBeGreen. ReVision is also a GA business partner.
The meaning behind the Summer Solstice Celebration is to get people excited about the sun, summer, solar power and the environment, says Heather Fournier, ReVision's office and marketing manager. "We have the solar part covered; the Surfrider Foundation will cover the state of our beaches, which we all enjoy in summer, explaining how to keep them pristine."
The NHSPCA, which uses solar energy, will bring dogs, cats and other animals. A Bounce House will be there for the kids. And for those not interested in free food, beer and music, ReVision will host tours of its facility and exhibit a new PV array, a solar hot water system, an automatic pellet boiler, and a plug-in Prius with charging station, among other great solar displays.
Green Alliance members should bring their GA cards because ReVision will be giving out nifty ReVision Energy-stamped beer glasses (to go with the beer keg) to the first 30 GA members attending the event. The Green Alliance is a union of local sustainable businesses promoting environmentally sound business practices and a green co-op offering discounted green products and services to its members. It will have an information table at the event.
All in all, the event will be a fun way to learn about sustainability.

People smuggling defendants deny knowledge of plot
5:23pm Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News By Joe Willis, Regional Chief Reporter
TWO men accused of travelling to the region to collect a group of illegal immigrants today (Thursday) claimed they knew nothing about a people smuggling plot.
Mohammad Yaghoobi and his friend Aref Yaghobi (CORRECT) said they were just innocent taxi drivers.
The pair, both from Liverpool, were arrested at Dalton Park Shopping Centre, near Seaham, County Durham, along with two other men.
Mr Yaghoobi told Teesside Crown Court he had been asked by a friend, Akbar Rehami, to collect four people described by Mr Rehami as "friends" from Seaham.
Mr Yaghoobi said he asked Mr Yaghobi to help because they would not all fit in one car.
The pair said Mr Rehami, also from Liverpool, had promised them £200 each for the trip.
Mr Yaghoobi told the court: "If I did know that (I was collecting illegal immigrants) I wouldn't have gone for £200 - if it had been £20,000 I wouldn't have gone."
Mr Yaghobi said he had finished working at about midnight and had just bought a takeaway when his friend called asking if he would make the trip to Seaham.
He said: "This is a job I'm doing. I'm not doing anything wrong."
Police detained five illegal immigrants and arrested four alleged traffickers after the immigrants were spotted stealing apples by a man going home from the pub.
Prosecutors claim the young men – five Afghans and an Iranian – had been smuggled into the UK in a truck.
Mr Yaghoobi, 23, Mr Rehmani, 22, and Mr Yaghobi, 21, deny conspiracy to assist illegal immigration.
The trial continues.

How to display custom group value?
For each of my groups, I've created a unique Twitter account. In my database in the groups table, I added a column called "group_twitter" and populated it with the proper values.
How can I display these values on the front end of each respective group? Here is what I tried so far:
I tried to insert this into bp-groups/bp-group-functions:
`if ( isset( $group_twitter ) )
$group->group_twitter = $group_twitter;`
And I added this to single/group-header:
but I get the following error:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_group_group_twitter() in …"
So I assume I need to define the function somewhere, but I'm not sure how or where.

Cook County Sheriff's office deputies are investigating three recent arsons that were reported over one week in south suburban Ford Heights.
The first fire was ruled an attempted arson at a store in the 1300 block of East Lincoln Highway about 5 a.m. Nov. 5, according to a statement from the sheriff's office.
Firefighters put out flames on the store's roof before any structural damage occurred, but there was a strong gasoline odor, police said.
The second fire fully engulfed a home and damaged the roof of another in the 1500 block of Senator Lane about 5:30 a.m. Nov. 9, authorities said.
A third fire was reported about 12:50 a.m. Nov. 12 at a convenience store in the 1400 block of 13th Place, authorities said.
Security camera footage of the third fire showed an unidentified car pulling up to the building, with a person from the passenger side getting out of the vehicle and placing something near or in the window where the fire started, before driving off in the car, police said.
The footage showed two people in dark clothing then returning a few minutes later, walking to the window. The fire then started before the two ran north on Woodlawn Avenue and then turned east on 13th Place, police said.
Police have not determined if any of the cases are related, the statement said.
Cook County Sheriff's deputies are investigating.
Anyone with information on the incidents is asked to call the Cook County Sheriff's investigations unit at (708) 865-4896.

Paddle, pole or troll your way to world-class flats fishing.
The redfish were shallow, very shallow. Waving tails reflected the morning's low light as the fish rooted in the lush seagrass, feeding on small crustaceans. There was only 10 inches of water in the back of a bay on the east side of Mosquito Lagoon and it was not enough to fully cover their bronze backs.
Pete Elkins and I had launched a pair of kayaks just before sunrise. Now, within casting distance of tailing fish, Pete stepped out of his kayak to finish rigging his fly, a No. 2 Borski slider. Ahead, we could see several more tails above the water. The fish were unaware that we had quietly moved in on their shallow-water breakfast buffet. Pete's first cast landed behind the red, but the fish turned and grabbed his fly. After releasing his fish, he moved around me while I fought mine. Then he was soon hooked up again.
It was a picture-perfect start to a day on the Lagoon, and a reminder that stealth and success go hand-in-hand when approaching shallow-water fish. Had we rumbled on to that flat under power, no doubt those fish would've fled the scene. Poling a skiff would've been the next best bet. Too often these days, though, it seems Mosquito Lagoon anglers are in a hurry, unaware of how their fishing practices may limit the action—not only for themselves, but for other fishermen in the area.
Mosquito Lagoon is located in East Central Florida at the north end of the Indian River Lagoon system. That system, consisting of the Indian River, the Banana River and Mosquito Lagoon, is often referred to as the nation's most diverse estuary and Mosquito Lagoon, in my opinion, is the brightest of the three gems in this magnificent setting. The Lagoon is a special place with arguably the finest fishery for redfish and gator-size seatrout anywhere in the country, high praise for a relatively small body of water (20 nautical miles north-to-south, about 2 miles east-west). Clean, shallow water and vibrant seagrass beds offer perfect habitat for these inshore gamefish, a sight-fisherman's dream come true. Prosperity, however, can be a fleeting thing and the Lagoon's long-term status is by no means certain.
Because of Mosquito Lagoon's proximity to Orlando and easy access from Interstate 95, the number of anglers on its waters has significantly increased as word of the fabulous flats fishery has spread. In addition, numerous inshore fishing tournaments are now being held there and boat ramps are usually full by 8 a.m. on most weekends. Some anglers are starting to wonder if the lagoon can maintain its quality fishery in the face of ever-increasing usage.
"There are more fish than in recent years," noted Capt. Scott Tripp, who's been fishing here for 15 years, "but the pressure has definitely increased. There are more anglers and boats and this is making the fish very spooky—they have a harder time getting settled so that they will readily feed."
Captain Brian Clancy, a 40-year veteran of these waters, agrees. "At times, the fish can be quite skittish—comparable to bonefish—because of the pressure."
I consider Mosquito Lagoon to be my home waters and want to see it flourish forever. In talking with "regulars" like Tripp and Clancy, and thinking back on my own days on the water, I'm convinced we need to take a lighter approach if we want to continue enjoying the Lagoon's bounty of accessible flats and accessible fish.
Kayaks and canoes have proven their merits, and a lot of anglers—many of whom also own larger boats—have become fans of paddle power here, especially for sneaking into the real skinny stuff. Many powerboats simply cannot get back into the depths favored by reds and trout on the Lagoon. Anglers unfamiliar with the area may inadvertently leave telltale propeller scars, damaging grassbeds. Even if your skiff can run the shallows on a plane, getting out after shutting down may be an entirely different proposition.
When I'm not strictly paddling, I do a lot of fishing out of a square-back canoe, with an 8-hp motor on the stern. That's a nice compromise: roomier and more stable than a pure paddle boat. On a recent trip—again with my friend Pete Elkins—we covered ground by motoring along the Intracoastal Waterway channel, on the western side of the Lagoon. This is the only marked channel in the area, and it runs from the north end of the Lagoon to Haulover Canal at about the Lagoon's midpoint. (It's marked well on Florida Sportsman Fishing Chart No. 04, and others.) If you're a boater unfamiliar with the adjacent shallows, it's best to stick to this channel until you're near the area you want to fish. At that point, you can follow someone with local knowledge of the depths or proceed slowly with caution so as not to damage the seagrass beds.
Once we reached our destination, Tiger Shoals, we raised our little motor and began to paddle eastward. As we moved across the wide grassflat, we startled a couple of seatrout. The water eventually became too shallow to effectively paddle, so I used a makeshift pushpole and moved slowly so as to not create a wake. It's amazing how even the slightest ripple on the water can alert fish on the flats here. Soon we saw what we were there for: Tailing redfish, bunched up in the back of a bay where no one was fishing.
As we neared casting distance, I took a seat to cast a lower profile and exchanged the pushpole for a paddle. Slowly, I turned the canoe broadside to the fish so we could both make a presentation. I softly set the blade of the paddle on a life jacket, muffling any sound, and picked up my spinning rod, rigged with a 5-inch soft jerkbait on an offset worm hook.
"Don't rock the boat when you cast," I cautioned, opening the bail on the reel. My partner had been ready for some time but had waited until I was ready.
Simultaneously, we made our casts, his to the edge of the school nearest the bow of the canoe and mine to the edge nearest the stern. In a matter of seconds, we both had hooked fish. His fish zigged while mine zagged and the canoe turned like a blender with a rock in the pitcher, not sure which way or how fast it was supposed to spin.
Contrast an approach like this with the guy who buzzes the flats looking to "bump up" some fish that he will then pursue. That's a technique that—thankfully—is fast falling out of favor. More than a few not-so-friendly conversations have been had between an angler who had been quietly fishing a flat and the boater who ran well onto that flat before stopping, spooking fish he had been stalking in the process. I've seen a few instances of "water rage" that makes what happens between motorists on Interstate 4 seem subdued. There's harmony when fishermen come and go quietly and slowly, and more anglers can effectively fish a given area at the same time.
On a larger boat, a trolling motor works well when the water is deep enough, but often the water just gets too shallow. Keep in mind that electrics also broadcast sound and vibrations that can alarm fish. A pushpole is better by far, at least if you're stalking fish in tailing depths. In deeper water, drifting and fan-casting can be an effective strategy.
The lighter approach has other advantages. Parking is seldom an issue if you're hauling a little boat on top of or inside your vehicle. In fact, you can drive close to where you will be fishing and launch from the shoreline, not needing to bother with a paved ramp. At first, you might find paddling to be slow and tedious, but you'll soon realize the benefits of fishing quietly and thoroughly.
Re-examining our approach to Mosquito Lagoon has implications that stretch beyond the prospects for a productive, stress-free day of fishing. State and federal authorities are currently studying Mosquito Lagoon, documenting seagrass beds, oyster reefs and other ecological features—and running numbers related to recreational usage. It's entirely possible that at some point in the near future, we'll see plans laid to close certain parts of the Lagoon, not only to skiffs and paddle craft, but to all fishing.
That would be a shame.
Self-regulation by conscientious anglers—something we're seeing already these days—would largely preclude the need for that kind of bureaucratic tampering.
"The fishery is much better than it was before the net ban [1995]," points out Capt. Mike Hakala, who has 25 years of experience on Mosquito Lagoon. "With good fisheries management—protecting the grasses, limits on fish kept—things might stay the same. If not, the Lagoon has seen its best days."
Lagoon Management
A complicated mesh of state and federal authorities calls the shots for Mosquito Lagoon, but if you like to fish here, it pays to know who's in charge of what—and what kinds of decisions they may face in the near future.
The federal government, through the Department of Interior and in turn, the National Park Service, has authority to make rules pertaining to the use of land and water at Canaveral National Seashore, which includes the north end of Mosquito Lagoon. A new 20-year General Management Plan (GMP) for the Seashore was due to be finalized in 2004, but the superintendent retired and the plan was all but scrapped. Look for the GMP to be a top priority when a new superintendent is selected in 2005. The plan will again involve public comment—and may include restrictions on access to the Lagoon. We'll watch this one closely.
The Merritt Island National Wildlife (MINWR) Refuge is an overlay of Kennedy Space Center and the surrounding lands and was created as a buffer for space center activities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages the lands and waters of the refuge, including much of Mosquito Lagoon. The Service prepares a Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) every 15 years and a new CCP for MINWR is nearing completion.
The use of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and the southern portion of Mosquito Lagoon are subject to NASA activities. Much of this southern portion of the lagoon is closed when a shuttle is on Pad B; call (321) 861-4636 for information.
Both federal and state environmental protection agencies monitor water quality on Mosquito Lagoon, as well as endangered and threatened species, including manatees.
As mentioned, Mosquito Lagoon is part of the Indian River Lagoon system. Not to be outdone by other federal and state agencies, an Indian River Lagoon Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Plan was developed by staff from the St. Johns River and the South Florida water management districts, in conjunction with the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program (NEP) staff. The plan notes that seagrass is the measuring stick for the health of the Lagoon and notes that physical disturbance (boat propellers and anchors) is a factor affecting seagrass growth and health.
Paddlers' Access to Mosquito Lagoon
There are three sites on the east side of Mosquito Lagoon and two on the west side from which to launch a canoe or kayak. From the east side of the lagoon, JB's Fish Camp is located about a mile north of the Canaveral National Seashore entrance. The fish camp has a good ramp and offers the last chance to buy live bait or get a bite to eat.
Continuing south on A1A, there is a gravel ramp to the right of parking lot No. 5, six miles after you enter Canaveral National Seashore. The open lagoon is to your south and marsh is to your north. George's Bar separates the two and is directly in front of the launch site.
Lastly, Eddy Creek Boat Ramp can be reached by going east on SR 406/402 out of Titusville to the seashore and then north along Playlinda Beach. The dirt boat ramp is across from parking lot No. 12.From the west side of the lagoon, canoeists and kayakers can get to the Lagoon from Old Beacon 42 Camp Boat Ramp. The dirt ramp is about a mile and a half north of Haulover Canal off SR 3 on Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. About two miles south of Haulover Canal, there is another dirt ramp off SR 3. Turn at the sign for the NASA Atmospheric Sciences Research Station and follow the dike road running down the southwest shoreline.

Top 10 reactions to news Watford could host 'The Only Way is Essex' style show
Updated 6:57pm Monday 12th May 2014 in News By Mike Wright and Beth Cherryman
Watfordians appear conflicted about the prospect of the town becoming the setting for a new 'The Only Way Is Essex' style scripted reality show.
People in the town have used social media sites to express everything from excitement to unbridled horror at news TV producers are auditioning for "We are Watford".
Want to star in Watford's version of 'The Only Way Is Essex'? RT if you know someone perfect for the show: http://t.co/skJs78IrTy— Watford Observer (@Observer_Owl) May 12, 2014
The tweet that started it all
Here's a round-up of some of the best reactions:
1. The reaction from some people was immediate - and terse.
'We are Watford' is going to be tragic.— Michael Naylor-Smith (@MNaylorSmith) May 12, 2014
2. Some feared the show would not exactly enhance the town's reputation.
they're making a new TV show like TOWIE for my town called We Are Watford wow as if this town needs an even WORSE name— ✿ eleanor ✿ (@IeamicheIe_) May 12, 2014
TOWIE being filmed in Waltham Cross. Similar scenes could be coming to Watford.
3. Others wondered if the town is interesting enough to sustain the nation's attention.
Still can't believe that there is gonna be a reality TV show in Watford. Does anything exciting ever happen in Watford?— Eliot (@ButlerEliot) May 12, 2014
4. The news caused a few Twitter users to lapse into unrestrained despair.
Why Watford, why you do this?! http://t.co/4XJtdmfDsY— Meg Kirby (@MegKirby1) May 12, 2014
5. One person hoped it was all a cruel joke.
.@Observer_Owl Oh, no. Please say it ain't so! I had to check the calendar to see if it was April 1st all over again. Sadly not.— 'Butters' (@cackatalltrades) May 12, 2014
6. At one point the Almighty was invoked to intervene.
.@Observer_Owl God help us.— Luke (@LukeCowham) May 12, 2014
7. However some suspected the protestations just haughty feigns from those who would happily watch the show anyway.
Yeah "We Are Watford" is going to be horrendous, but don't deny you're all going to watch it anyway— Niamh (@NiamhTucker) May 12, 2014
8. On the plus side for the producers, quite a few people instantly had fellow Watfordians in mind as potential characters for the show.
"@Observer_Owl: Want to star in Watford's version of 'The Only Way Is Essex'? http://t.co/V1mOFs5YtY" @nayforbudapest found a job for you.— Aaron (@AaronCaisley) May 12, 2014
9. For some it seemed to represent a potential high-watermark for British TV.
THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEW REALITY SHOW CALLED 'WE ARE WATFORD' OMG THIS IS THE DREAM http://t.co/VKfNsqRhCR— Payal (@payalshah18) May 12, 2014
10. Some people even sensed an opportunity to launch their own celebrity career.
Should I go for this? 'Only Way is Watford' (I'm not joking)— OfficialHarryHornet (@1HHornet) May 12, 2014

We find out why the three-banded armadillo, the animal chosen to be the mascot for the World Cup, is in a desperate struggle for survival. We hear about a fox with a fetish for footwear, and we bring you all the latest news from our Herring Gulls nest!
Mooney Tunes is back! Tickets for Mooney Tunes 10 went on sale recently, and just a limited number remain...
Can you believe it? It's time for Mooney Tunes again, and astonishingly, we are approaching our tenth concert! It all started in September 2009, at the National Concert Hall. The very first Mooney Tunes featured music such as Send In The Clowns, The Anvil Chorus and even the theme from Hawaii Five-O. Over the last nine concerts, there hasn't been any genre of music we haven't covered. We've done a lot of classical favourites, we've had arias and choruses from some of the greatest operas ever written.
Tickets to Mooney Tunes 10 range from €10 to €39.50, and can be booked in person at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin (no booking fee), or by calling Ticketmaster on 0818 719 377 (booking fee applies). For more information about Mooney Tunes 10, visit the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre website or the Ticketmaster website.
Mooney Tunes 10 will be a 'Best Of' the music and songs from previous Mooney Tunes concerts.
We came across an interesting story during the week that we thought our expert panel of Dr. Richard Collins and Eanna ni Lamhna might have some strong views on!
It seems a fox in Leeds in the UK has been making a daily delivery of shoes to a family's garden.
Elaine and William Hewitt have been 'donated' dozens of items of footwear - including designer trainers, work boots and even smart leather shoes - left as gifts by the urban animal.
Elaine is on the line this afternoon from Horsforth in Leeds to tell us more about this generous fox!
Last week, last Tuesday to be exact, our Herring Gull's nest on the roof of Stage 7 here in RTÉ, received the gift of life – two little chicks hatched out.
For the latest news, we are joined this afternoon by Niall Hatch, Development Officer with BirdWatch Ireland.
To watch the Herring Gulls, click here.
As if there hasn't been enough controversy in this World Cup, now conservationists in Brazil are challenging football's governing body FIFA to do more to protect the animal that inspired this summer's World Cup Mascot!
Fuleco the Armadillo is the yellow and blue-armoured character you can see on the merchandise and souvenirs.
It is based on the Brazilian three-banded armadillo which is listed as a vulnerable species and has suffered a 30% population decline in the past 10 years.
It is one of only two species of armadillo that can roll into a ball.
The name Fuelco is a combination of the words Futebol –football - and Ecologia – Ecology.
Scientists have called on FIFA and the Brazilian government to designate parts of the armadillo's dry forest habitat as protected areas.
Jim Loughry, Professor of Biology at the Valdosta State University, Georgia, USA and member of the Anteater, Sloth and Armadillo Specialist Group, joins us on the line from the US to explain more...
Niall Hatch from BirdWatch Ireland tells us about their Swift survey, and brings us all the latest news from our Herring Gull family...

Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.
To contact your local wildlife ranger, click here for contact details. To read the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2000, click here.

Please DO NOT send any live, dead or skeletal remains of any creature whatsoever to Mooney Goes Wild.

Of course, nothing on their site.

A business may have been damaged after a blasting incident Monday afternoon in Rutherford County.
The Murfreesboro Fire Department says a licensed blasting contractor is working to install a water and sewer line off Butler Drive.
Workers for the company, Robert and Cassie Blasting Company, of Gladeville, TN, didn't have a cover on the first shot of explosives - called a "breaker" - because they thought they were far enough away from homes and businesses.
Debris from the blast flew into the air, but a representative for the company said it doesn't appear any debris left the blasting site.
A nearby business, Kloeckner Metals, reported the blast may have caused some damage to its facility, according to the fire department, but further details have not been released.
No injuries have been reported.
Assistant Fire Marshal Michael Bartlett said in a release that because the contractor was blasting in such an isolated area, it was not necessary to have the shot covered.
The state fire marshal's office may investigate the incident.

Desde julho de 2007 funciona em Campos do Jordão o Borboletário Flores que Voam. Em meio a mata, no caminho do Horto Florestal, uma estufa abriga cerca de 35 espécies de borboletas nativas da região, que vivem em um ambiente calmo e harmonioso. Logo na entrada um enorme painel exibe uma bela montagem com grandes borboletas e permite, com um pouco de criatividade, fazer belas fotos para levar de recordação.
