Hugo Chavez's condition improving - Venezuela
CARACAS (Reuters) - Cancer-stricken Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's lung infection has been controlled and his medical state is improving more than a month after his latest surgery in Cuba, the government said on Sunday.
"Despite his delicate state ... in recent days the general medical evolution has been favorable," said the latest official health update, which was relatively positive compared to others but still illustrated the gravity of Chavez's situation.
"The respiratory infection is controlled, though the commander-president still requires specific measures to solve breathing insufficiency ... he is conscious."
The communique, which gave no more details on his condition, came as the three most powerful government figures after Chavez gathered in Havana to check on him and meet with Cuban allies.
Vice-President Nicolas Maduro, Congress head Diosdado Cabello, and Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez have been shuttling to and from Cuba since the 58-year-old socialist president's fourth and most serious cancer operation a month ago.
Chavez, who missed his own inauguration for a new, six-year term last week, has not been seen or heard from in public since the surgery. Many Venezuelans are assuming his momentous 14-year rule of the South American OPEC nation could be nearing an end.
"We are all Chavez!" and "Chavez will return!" were among slogans sang and chanted at numerous solidarity rallies, meetings and concerts across Venezuela over the weekend, which drew thousands of passionate and anxious supporters.
Venezuelan state TV on Sunday even split its screen into four to show events going on around the nation.
"The situation is complex and delicate," Elias Jaua, a former vice-president and ally of Chavez, told one rally.
"He continues battling for his life."
Villegas said Maduro, whom Chavez has designated his successor, informed his boss of the outpouring at home.
State media said Maduro, Cabello, Ramirez - who also heads the powerful state oil company PDVSA - and Attorney General Cilia Flores all met Cuban President Raul Castro over the weekend. But there were no details of the talks.
The joint presence of top Venezuelan officials in Havana inevitably deepens rumors that Chavez is at death's door - and draws opposition criticism that Raul and Fidel Castro are giving instructions behind the scenes.
"We know which commander is giving the orders to Chavista leaders," opposition legislator Maria Corina Machado tweeted sarcastically, in a reference to the Cuban president.
Officials have been lashing "necrophilic" opponents for such criticism, and Chavez's brother said on Saturday that he was improving daily and not in a coma as rumored.
Another opposition leader, Julio Borges, said the secrecy around Chavez's precise condition was unacceptable.
"No one is asking for details of the operation or the president's treatment, but that simply they tell the truth about his health prognosis," said Borges, a right-wing legislator who wants Chavez formally declared absent from office.
That would trigger the naming of a caretaker president, and an election within a month. But Venezuela's Supreme Court has ratified that Chavez remains president with Maduro in charge as No. 2 until Chavez's health situation is clarified.
"It's been a year-and-a-half of contradictions and announcements of his complete curing followed by relapses," Borges added, saying problems like inflation, housing shortages and power-cuts were being neglected during a political impasse.
Since the disease was discovered in mid-2011, Chavez has wrongly declared himself cured twice, in an extraordinary and unsettling saga for Venezuela's 29 million people.
The stakes are high for the wider region too. Cuba and a handful of other leftist-ruled nations have for years been depending on Chavez's aid to bolster fragile economies.
Should Chavez die or be incapacitated, the most likely next step would be an election pitting Maduro, 50, against Henrique Capriles, 40, the main opposition leader who lost to Chavez in an October presidential election.
In an opinion column on Sunday, Capriles railed against the "national paralysis" but said the opposition would not be drawn into confrontation or street protests. That tactic failed spectacularly for them a decade ago when Chavez was briefly toppled but came back stronger than before.
"Just as the president has the right to attend his ill health, so Venezuelans do not deserve urgent problems to be put on hold," Capriles said. "We are not going to play the game of calling people onto the street to create a confrontation that will benefit the violent and radical ones."

A bishop ordained by Poe St. Gregory II, an evangelist to Germany. Born in 670, Corbinian, a Frank, lived as a hermit for fourteen years. While going to Rome, he was sent by the pope to Friesling, in Bavaria, Germany, as a bishop. There he denounced the incestuous marriage of the local duke, Grimoald, to his brother�s widow. Grimoald persecuted him in return. The duchess tried to kill him, and he fled. His symbol is the bear, because when a bear killed his pack horse, Corbinian made it carry his load.

Gossip merchant Perez Hilton may not be most people's idea of a rode model. But that's not stopping the massively popular blogger (real name: Mario Lavandeira) from joining the ranks of celebrity children's book authors. Hilton is working on "The Boy with Pink Hair," which will be released by an imprint of Penguin in September. The book tells the story of a child with a "shock of fabulous hair" who yearns to fit in with his peers. According to Hilton's press release, it will appeal to "every kid that's ever had a dream, felt excluded, wanted to belong, and hoped that one day they could do what they loved and make a difference." Can a blogger known for doodling vulgar symbols over celebrities' faces really write for kids?
No, Hilton is a hypocrite: The famed blogger may be on the brink of joining the "pantheon" of celebrities who have released bad children's books, says KJ Dell'Antonia at Double X — and that's largely due to his unpleasant personality. The central problem is that the book's hoary message — that being yourself is the only thing that matters — "seem[s] a tad inconsistent" with Hilton's penchant for cruelly picking apart celebrities' looks.
"Perez Hilton, the boy with no scruples, to publish 'The Boy with Pink Hair'"
Hey, it could be a hit: Writing a funny, entertaining kid's book is "near impossible," says Heather Chaet at The Stir. But "Hilton may just have what it takes" to pull this off. His "sassy, snarky" writing is perfect — remember, "some of the best picture-book characters have spunk with a capital S." Plus, the individuality theme is "tried and true" for celebrity authors, and the cover illustration is adorable.
"Perez Hilton children's book might be his best writing yet"
Real authors should be peeved: "More than once I've heard people in publishing grumble about the glut of celebrity books, which often get large advances yet fail to enthuse readers," says Carolyn Kellogg at the Los Angeles Times. But Hilton isn't even a celebrity — he's a blogger, and that the fact that he's been handed this deal is a "little much." Not to mention that Hilton has already tried, and failed, to author a book with 2009's "Red Carpet Suicide." That esteemed volume can now be purchased for a penny in paperback.

Pop up tent-recommendations pleaseStarted by Cjm , Aug 05 2012 08:10 PM
14 replies to this topic
Posted 05 August 2012 - 08:10 PMHi, this is my 7th V Festival, but I've always been hopeless at putting tents up lol.
This year I'm having to go on my own on the Fri (my friend is working till the evening),
so will be putting both tents up. I know we've left it pretty late, but don't fancy putting our normal tents up,
so we're going to buy two pop up tents.
Can anyone recommend any decent, but affordable pop-up tents please?
Ones that can stand a little bit of rain, as we know what the weather is like at V lol.
I've read some reviews on Argos, but they all seem to leak.
Thanks people.
Posted 05 August 2012 - 09:45 PMHi mate I was in a similar position, going to be arriving a bit later than normal and could not be bothered setting. Tent up but wanted a decent non leaking/ condensation tent I was recommended Quechua 2 seconds 2 range supposed to be pretty good I've just bought one but I spent about £60-70 on mine but their are some much cheaper one that have good reviews 2
Posted 05 August 2012 - 11:49 PMI've bought a pop up tent for V Festival, It's my first ever festival so it's gonna be a learning curve for me
Posted 06 August 2012 - 12:06 AMI'd recommend a double skinned tent
Posted 06 August 2012 - 08:38 AMSingle skin should be fine as long as it has a HH rating higher than 2000. Spend a little but more to ensure you get a decent level of waterproofness
The Gelert Quickpitch range is very good
You don't want to spend too much, as depending on your Monday hangover, you might not ba arsed taking it home.
Posted 07 August 2012 - 11:07 AMI bought this one for the summer from halfords, Ive had a few pop up tents and is by far the best. Cost me 55 quid in the spring but now is only 40 quid. Double skinned and lots of room.
Posted 07 August 2012 - 12:12 PMDefinitely reccomend Quechua - Mines done Reading 08, Leeds 09, Bestival 09,11, Lamer tree 10, Glastonbury 11 with no problems what so ever.
Posted 12 August 2012 - 03:19 PMThanks for the recommendations.
In the end it boiled down to money and I spent £24.99 on a Regatta 2 man pop up tent which has since gone back up to £49.99, from Argos.
Anyone know if these tents are ok?
The spec is this::
- 1 room, 2 windows, 2 air vents with sewn in groundsheet.
- Hydrostatic head 2000mm.
- Fire retardant, single skin with taped seams.
- Carry bag supplied.
- Overall size H95, W120, L220cm.
- Packed size L68, W10, D10cm.
- Packed weight 1.8kg.
Posted 12 August 2012 - 07:35 PMIt'll be fine at 2000HH. I nearly bought one myself earlier in the year.
Posted 13 August 2012 - 06:25 AMRegatta do the worst branded pop up tents, they are flimsy & shake a lot in a slight breeze so can't be well put together. I can't comment on leakage.
Quechua are great. Well put together but not cheap. Can't comment on leakage but no one I know has had any problems.
Gelert are great for the price. The Quickdraw & Quickpitch vary slightly, one has more vents which is good to reduce condensation build up after sleeping. Cheap, relatively well put together & are waterproof (I've never had a problem with 5+ two man tents I've owned).
Eurohike do a range called Flash. Brilliant tents as they are double skinned & the Flash III easily accommodates 2 + bags + crates. Well put together but expensive & hard to find.
As with most other tents, I tent to halve the amount of people the company says the tent can hold to get the realistic size of accommodation. I was tempted by the cheap deals Argos & Tesco were doing on pop up tents but decided to stick with my trust worthy Cath Kidston Eurohike.
Posted 14 August 2012 - 09:09 AMBlacks are now doing a Vango popup 3 man with a porch area for £50.00, reduced from £100 which looks good
Posted 14 August 2012 - 11:27 PMVango's are expensive tents, never come across one at a festival.
Posted 28 August 2012 - 06:44 AMThe Gelert Quickpitch range is very good
Posted 28 August 2012 - 07:42 AM
I paid £50 for my Vango pop up 5 years ago, done Glasto 3 times including last year when it didn't stop raining for 2 days! Never had a problem with it and I have seen loads of Vango tents at festivals.
Vango's are expensive tents, never come across one at a festival.

I was a casuatly of this recently. Bought a 3 man tent from Argos, didn't test it, went to pitch it and I swear, it was TINY. It could barely get my and my partner in with all our bags, it had no porch and when it rained we had to sit and freeze in a tent we couldn't move it. Plus, when you unzipped the zip, all the water fell on to the netting some how. That was a Coleman 3 weekend tent - don't do it to yourself!

Bruce Springsteen Will Rock the Stage at the GRAMMYs
Apparently Bruce Springsteen and the [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]E Street Band[/lastfm] feel the need to shake off some ring rust before they head out on the first leg of their US Tour (Which includes FIVE stops in the tri-state!).
That warm-up will be at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on February 12th in front of not only a live audience consisting of music industry heavyweights, but millions watching in the comfort of their home.
[photogallerylink id=68994]
The GRAMMY performance will take Bruce from busking and small shows in New Jersey to the grand stage he'll become accustomed to in 2012.
Nothing new for The Boss. He's been playing in front of stadium crowds FOR-EV-ER.
His appearance at the GRAMMYs is a wise one. With his new album, Wrecking Ball, due out on March 6th, performing his new single "We Take Care of Our Own" would bring some buzz to those not keeping up with the business of The Boss.
Bruce joins an already stacked GRAMMY line-up, which includes Adele, Foo Fighters, Paul McCartney, Coldplay and Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson, Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars and a special performance by Glen Campbell with the Band Perry and Blake Shelton.
A little something for everyone, eh?
The 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards airs on February 12th from the Staples Center in Los Angeles and will have its first host in seven years with LL Cool J.

A few weeks ago I talked about finding the perfect motorcycle jacket. I definitely don't think this is an easy process and similar to finding a perfect fitting jean, this can take a while and usually you have to try several in person to make sure it's just right. Right before my birthday, Clay and I popped into All Saints to look at sweaters for him. I wasn't interested in shopping for myself but then I happened upon a few of their leather jackets. Even on the hanger they looked amazing. I was encouraged to try on a few and was surprised to find that their fit was almost perfect. This is rare for me since I have a smaller ribcage so most jackets end up looking oversized on me. I don't even want to tell you how many coats I've ordered online and had to return immediately. A lot.
This is my first real leather jacket, and even though it was a gift, I definitely would have bought it on my own. Leather jackets can be like jeans.. you end up needing more than just one. Your classic all around jacket, a cropped one, a colored one, an edgy one, a minimalist one. This jacket, The Cargo falls into the category of a 'classic' one. It fits perfectly, has a nice worn in look and minimal embellishments. I've also got my eye on their 'Belvedere' jacket, which is a bit more sleek and has an amazing upstanding collar detail. In case you are wondering for size, I'm wearing a size 0 and while this is a bit pricier, around $500, it's relatively cheaper for leather than a brand like Vince or Theory.

Miss March "could be the first contender of the year for the Razzie Awards," which "salute the worst in moviemaking," said Tom O'Neil in the Los Angeles Times. Directed by Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore of the TV comedy-sketch troupe The Whitest Kids You Know, this romantic comedy about a guy who awakens from a coma to find that his girlfriend is now a Playboy centerfold "comes in at a jaw-dropping zero among the top critics surveyed by Rotten Tomatoes." (Watch the trailer)
Miss March is certainly "the biggest pile of crap I've seen in ages," said Stephanie Zacharek in Salon. This movie "reeks of derision for its intended audience," and the lead actors have no charm whatsoever. "The mere existence of Miss March should be treated as a cautionary tale—broad comedy doesn't necessarily have to insult our intelligence."
Come on, said The Movie Boy, Miss March isn't that bad. Sure, "not every joke works, and there is an admitted lull in the third act." But you have to give Cregger and Moore credit for delivering such "a subversively hilarious romp, gleefully unapologetic in its coarseness and yet so dang silly that it never becomes mean-spirited."

O'Sullivan, Rivers playing well
Ron Jaworski emerges from the film room and talks about five things he noticed while looking around the league.
Originally Published: September 26, 2008By Ron Jaworski | ESPN.com
We're entering Week 4 of the season and this is when it starts to get really interesting. While looking around the league this week I noticed several offensive players who have stepped up their games and a couple of coordinators who are operating like sharks in a blood-filled pool. Here's a look at five things I noticed in the film room this week.
• I'm very impressed with the way J.T. O'Sullivan has played so far this season. He's handling this offense very well and despite a lack of game experience he's shown great maturity. He's reading the field very well and doing a fine job of finding the open man while also protecting the football.

Maryland in ACC title hunt after dubious start
The Maryland Terrapins are a good team.
They're also a lucky team.
How else to account for the fact that Maryland (7-2, 4-1) has been outgained by every Division I-A opponent it has faced this season, yet heads into Saturday's game against Miami in College Park tied for first in the ACC's Atlantic Division and ranked No. 23 in the country?
The Terps' good fortune is reflected in their current four-game win streak. The combined margin of victory in those wins is 12 points. Throw in the 14-10 victory over Florida International on Sept. 23, and Maryland has won its last five games by 16 total points.
"Those games could have gone either way," senior quarterback Sam Hollenbach said. "To be honest with you, we caught some breaks, we got lucky. We beat some good teams right at the last minute that we could have lost to."
Take Saturday's 13-12 victory against Clemson in Death Valley. The Tigers had a touchdown called back on their final possession and settled for a field goal and 12-10 lead. Maryland responded by driving downfield quickly and winning the game on Dan Ennis' 31-yard field goal with no time left on the clock.
With three conference games remaining, the Terrapins are tied with Wake Forest -- the teams will meet on Nov 25 in College Park -- for the Atlantic Division lead. Maryland has not won the ACC championship since Friedgen's first season as coach in 2001.
Not bad for a team that was coming off two straight losing seasons and predicted, in a preseason media poll, to finish a distant fourth in its division.
"I thought we would have a good team this year," said Friedgen, who is also serving as the Terps' offensive coordinator this season. "We only have 12 seniors, but we had more depth than what we've had and we had an experienced quarterback. So I felt that we would be better than what the so-called experts picked us."
The experts looked like they were on the mark after Maryland followed season-opening victories against Division I-AA William & Mary and Middle Tennessee State with a nationally televised 45-24 loss to West Virginia in Morgantown on Sept. 14.
A life-and-death struggle against winless Florida International the week after the West Virginia defeat wasn't much reason for optimism, either.
"Everybody was down on us," said Terps cornerback Josh Wilson, who has played well defensively and ranks third in the ACC with a 30.6-yard kickoff return average. "Everybody was kind of thinking our season was going down."
Maryland appeared to blow a chance to turn around its season against Georgia Tech on Oct. 7, blowing a nine-point, fourth-quarter lead in Atlanta. The game ended with Maryland driving to the Yellow Jackets' 7-yard line but failing to score a go-ahead touchdown in four downs.
"We lost that game, but it gave us confidence that we could play with a good team," Wilson said.
The Terrapins haven't lost since. They rebounded from a 20-0 halftime deficit against Virginia in Charlottesville to win and have beaten North Carolina State, Florida State and Clemson since then.
Maryland has won those games by 2, 6, 3 and 1 point respectively.
"When you play in so many close games, you get kind of used to it," Wilson said. "You've been there before. Like last week [against Clemson]. We've been in that situation so many times, it wasn't a shock to us. You don't go in the tank. It's almost like home."
Wilson, a senior, said Maryland probably would have lost those games in either of the past two seasons. The Terrapins lost five games by eight points or less in 2004 and 2005.
The formula Maryland has used to turn around this season centers around reducing turnovers. The Terrapins committed 13 turnovers in their first five games, but only three during their current four-game win streak.
"That's been huge," Hollenbach said. "With our margin of victory being so small, it really comes down to playing smart."
No one has played smarter than Hollenbach, a 6-foot-4, 214-pound native of Sellersville, Pa., whose 15 interceptions last season were second in the ACC to FSU's Drew Weatherford, who was picked off 18 times.
This season, Hollenbach has thrown only six interceptions in nine games, and his 10 touchdown passes are tied for third in the conference. He's thrown two interceptions during the four-game win streak.
"I think he's starting to play his best football right now," Friedgen said. "He's thrown the ball well when we've asked him to and made plays. I think he's made some very good decisions on plays that weren't there. In the past, he would try to make something and end up with an interception or a fumble or whatever.
"I think he's gaining more and more confidence. For us to be successful the rest of the season, he's going to have to really continue the trend."
If that happens, the Terrapins may wind up with the Atlantic Division's berth in the ACC title game. But with three difficult games between Maryland and a trip to Jacksonville on Dec. 2., few Terps are willing to look too far ahead.
"That's something we have to be careful with," Hollenbach said. "It's definitely in the back of our mind, but at this point in our season, it's probably more dangerous than helpful for us to be thinking about that."
With a little more luck, Hollenbach and Maryland may just get there.

Legislators admit they're late on court-ordered school-aid plan
A progress report from lawmakers to the state Supreme Court admits they fell short this year of making a detailed plan for boosting school funding.
Seattle Times education reporter
In January, the state Supreme Court warned lawmakers they weren't moving fast enough to adequately pay for basic education and told them to come up with a detailed year-by-year plan to get it done by the 2018 deadline.
In a progress report to the court Tuesday, lawmakers acknowledged that they failed to agree on such a timeline in their shortened 2014 session.
The court's order in January stemmed from its 2012 decision in the McCleary case, when the justices agreed with a large group of parents, teachers and school districts who contended the Legislature was violating the state's constitution by failing to provide ample funding for public education.
The court gave lawmakers until the 2017- 2018 school year to come up with enough money to meet the Legislature's own definition of what it means to provide a basic education for the state's 1 million schoolkids.
Estimates for what that would cost in additional education spending range from $3.5 billion to $7 billion per biennium, depending on whether the total includes more state money for teacher pay.
The two-year budget that was passed last year increased education spending by about $1 billion and this year's shortened session nudged up additional spending by $58 million more.
Lawmakers disagree about how much ultimately will be needed to satisfy the court's requirements.
"There's disagreement about how much it's going to take, there's disagreement about where it's going, there's disagreement about where it's coming from," said state Sen. Steve Litzow, a Republican from Mercer Island. "It's going to be hard work, but everybody is committed to making it happen."
Lawmakers will have to come up with a big chunk of the final price tag — whatever it may be — when they write a new two-year budget in next year's full session.
"They're going to try to squeeze the last of it in the next four years," said Randy Dorn, state superintendent of public instruction. "It's going to be very difficult to do unless they raise a significant amount of revenue, code word for raising taxes."
Lawmakers may resurrect some ideas from the wreckage of this year's failed education bills.
Tuesday's progress report to the court asks it to "recognize that 2015 is the next and most critical year for the Legislature to reach the grand agreement needed" to meet the 2018 deadline.
Litzow said making significant progress in the next session is possible, but lawmakers will first have to get on the same page about money.
The ultimate price tag depends in part on whether the state picks up the full cost for paying teachers and staff instead of relying on school districts' property-tax levies to supplement what the state provides.
State Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, says he's ready to have that debate this fall.
"You wouldn't solve the whole teacher problem in the 2015-17 biennium, but you should solve a chunk of it," Hunter said. "So you're going to need to add somewhere between $2 billion and $3 billion in 2015-17."
The Supreme Court was explicit in its January order that it wanted to see more than promises about what the Legislature would do next year, said Thomas Ahearne, attorney for the plaintiffs in the McCleary case.
Ahearne hopes the court's next order will push lawmakers harder.
"When legislators want to take immediate, concrete action and do something significant, they do," Ahearne said. "But the court has to think of a way to make it so they want to do that."

Hamilton was forced to start from 20th after his Mercedes team had to change his gearbox as a result of his brake failure induced accident during qualifying. Hamilton nonetheless raced through the field and came home in third place, to limit the damage to his title hopes as Nico Rosberg eased to his fourth win of the year. "I came from last, to get on the podium is quite an achievement so perhaps [glass] half full," said Hamilton of his race. The Brit was also apologetic to former team-mate Jenson Button after the duo made contact...

Tuesday, 01 Mar 2011 09:56 AM
JPMorgan Chase & Co. has invested in a fund that has bought about $400 million in Twitter Inc. shares, valuing the blogging service at as much as $4.5 billion, three people with knowledge of the matter said.
The fund, which has more than $1 billion, is being run by Twitter investor Chris Sacca, said two of the people, who declined to be identified because the arrangement isn't public. JPMorgan is committing the bulk of the financing for the fund, the people said.
Twitter, founded in 2006, has seen its valuation climb in tandem with the popularity of its site, which lets users post 140-character messages. The company was valued at $3.7 billion in December after receiving $200 million in a funding round led by venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Twitter was worth $1 billion in September 2009, a person familiar with the matter said at the time.
JPMorgan's investment management division said in a regulatory filing last month that it's raising as much as $1.22 billion in a venture-capital fund.
In February, venture firm Andreessen Horowitz said it was investing more than $80 million in Twitter, whose online- messaging service has more than 175 million registered users.
Sacca declined to comment, as did Darin Oduyoye, a spokesman for JPMorgan, and Sean Garrett, a spokesman for San Francisco-based Twitter.
The investment in closely held Twitter was reported earlier by the Financial Times and technology blog TechCrunch.

A statement from F1′s parent company, Delta Topco, reads: 'After discussion with the board, Mr. Ecclestone has proposed and the board has agreed that until the case has been concluded, he will step down as a director with immediate effect, thereby relinquishing his board duties and responsibilities until the case has been resolved.

Some 200 experts huddled in Geneva on Thursday to debate experimental treatments for the Ebola virus as the world's worst-ever outbreak raged in west Africa, having killed more than 1,900 people so far.
The experts are meeting behind closed doors in a meeting organised by the World Health Organization and include policy makers, ethicists, clinicians, researchers and patient representatives from the affected countries.
"The current west African Ebola outbreak is unprecedented in size, complexity and the strain it has imposed on health systems," WHO said in a statement.
"There is intense public interest in, and demand for, anything that offers hope of definitive treatment."
The meeting aims to review and evaluate the current developments of therapies and vaccines for the virus, inform authorities of affected countries about treatments available, and ease contacts between countries affected by the disease and countries producing treatments.
Global health experts have stepped up their warnings in recent days that world leaders need to do more to address the epidemic, which is most prominent in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
The outbreak of Ebola, transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, has sparked alarm throughout the region but also further afield, with scientists scrambling to come up with treatment.
In early August, an expert panel convened by WHO said that unproven treatments could be offered under certain conditions.

Leaders from Stoke Visit PA
On Thursday 2nd October we hosted 11 school leaders from Stoke. The group included 2 Ofsted inspectors and Prince Albert was recommended to them by Andrew Cook, one of Her Majesty's Inspectors (HMI). They spent the day visiting classrooms, speaking to pupils and looking at work in books.
The feedback from our visitors was overwhelmingly positive and they were kind enough to leave their thoughts about our school. Please take a few minutes to read their comments:
"I have rarely observed such high levels of pupil engagement as those seen today at Prince Albert. The teaching is clearly addressing the personal needs of each child. This is evident from the highest quality work seen in books, on desks, walls and taking place as we toured. Pupils are confident, articulate, very welcoming and completely charming.
School Leaders could not do enough for our visiting party, everyone was available for our observations, questions and we were given invaluable information and advice which will be well used to improve practice in Stoke. Thank you so much for the privilege of visiting the school."
Christine Bray - Lead for Governance, Learning Services, Stoke-On-Trent Council
"WOW! Inspiring to see children with such a love of learning. Very impressed by the quality of play outside supported so effectively by the enthusiastic play leaders.
I observed every child in every class from Nursery to year 6 engaged in meaningful learning, with adults and most impressively in their independent learning. Thank you for your hospitality and kindness in opening up your school to us today."

Parliamentary Review 2014
We are proud to have been featured in the 2014 Primary Education Edition of the Parliamentary Review. You can read the full article below, or visit www.theparliamentaryreview.co.uk.
Stimulating learning environments ensure that all pupils are engaged and enjoy their learning
At Prince Albert Primary School we are very clear in our message that social deprivation, lack of parental support or any other negative influence outside of school is no excuse for underachievement. The school is located in the heart of Aston, in one of the most deprived wards in the country, and the majority of pupils who join us in nursery have a level of development that is well below that expected for their age. Over a third of our pupils have special educational needs, and almost half are eligible for the pupil premium. The vast majority of our children are from either Pakistani or Bangladeshi backgrounds.

Spent two weeks in this wonderful hotel. Bad start as transfer place missed ferry and were ferried by coach 55km to overnight hotel and then 06:30 to return to Rhodes to catch ferry to Symi. Arrival in town was spectacular with the town hanging to the mountainsides overlooking the port. The hotel was seconds from the ferry. Hotel very clean and rooms cleaned daily, staff were excellent and friendly. The main bays were by water taxi but the seas were very clear. 24e per day by ferry to bay which included sun beds, prices varied but some beds were free and some were 6 euros so totals were 24 euros per day. Tavernas were cheap or reasonable unless you went into the Tavernas around harbour which facilitated for yacht and cruiser charters and were usually double price of all smaller tavernas - you will notice expensive tavernas as all users have sweaters over shoulders even in 100degree heat LOL. Rep was helpful and knowledgeable ( even though we did not use her for trips etc)Visit olympicholidays.com

Tempest Tours
Tempest Tours is arguably the best storm chasing team in America. We are operated by a team of experienced and respected storm chasers who understand every facet of storm chasing. Our goal is to share our knowledge and appreciation for storms with others. We conduct tours in May and June, to coincide with peak tornado activity in Tornado Alley. Guests travel to our base cities where they join us. Tours are typically comprised of 6-13 guests. Guests ride in roomy, smoke-free vans, with a limit of 5-6 guests per van for comfort. Each tour is led by our Tour Director and a staff of experienced storm chasers. Upon arriving at our base city hotel, guests receive a pre-tour orientation which provides information on tour itinerary and guidelines. We emphasize safety, education and responsible conduct. We track storms close enough to view tornadoes, but far enough to be safe. We do not "drive into" dangerous weather and do everything possible to avoid these hazards. In fact, it is common to see other motorists driving into large hail, etc. when we are safely out of the way.
The Chase During the tour, each guest will have an unobstructed window view in our clean, comfortable, smoke-free owned and carefully maintained vans. In order to maximize safety, logistics and maintain the quality of our product, we rarely operate more than two vehicles. On the morning of each chase day, the Tour Director presents a forecast briefing to the group. The briefing outlines the day's target and departure time. If forecast parameters suggest an early departure, the Tour Director informs the group the night before. However, the group must be ready to depart for a chase target with very little notice. This is one of the many things that make storm chasing both challenging and exciting. The goal of each chase day is to forecast and intercept the most significant weather that we expect to develop on the Plains later in the day.
