Pakistan has raised a 25,000-strong special force and put in place extensive measures to protect and manage its strategic assets, including its nuclear arsenal, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said on Saturday.
"A special security force of 25,000 personnel, who have been specially trained and provided sophisticated weapons, has been deployed to protect [the nuclear assets]," he said, winding up the debate on the 2013-14 budget in the National Assembly or Lower House of Parliament.
Pakistan has raised a special response force, a special escort force and a marine force, he said without giving details.
Besides, there are also counter-intelligence teams and a "personnel reliability programme" to oversee the strategic programme, he said.
The 25,000-strong security force has been equipped with the latest equipment and the personnel are fully prepared for "mobility on the ground or in the air", he said.

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Peter and John were going to the temple courtyard for the three o'clock prayer. | 1 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer--at three in the afternoon. |
2 At the same time, a man who had been lame from birth was being carried by some men. Every day these men would put the lame man at a gate in the temple courtyard. The gate was called Beautiful Gate. There he would beg for handouts from people going into the courtyard. | 2 Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. |
3 When the man saw that Peter and John were about to go into the courtyard, he asked them for a handout. | 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. |
4 Peter and John stared at him. "Look at us!" Peter said. | 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" |
5 So the man watched them closely. He expected to receive something from them. | 5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. |
6 However, Peter said to him, "I don't have any money, but I'll give you what I do have. Through the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth, walk!" | 6 Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." |
7 Peter took hold of the man's right hand and began to help him up. Immediately, the man's feet and ankles became strong. | 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. |
8 Springing to his feet, he stood up and started to walk. He went with Peter and John into the temple courtyard. The man was walking, jumping, and praising God. | 8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. |
9 All the people saw him walking and praising God. | 9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God, |
10 They knew that he was the man who used to sit and beg at the temple's Beautiful Gate. The people were amazed and stunned to see what had happened to him. | 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. |
11 They were excited, and everyone ran to see them at the place called Solomon's Porch. The man wouldn't let go of Peter and John. | 11 While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade. |
12 When Peter saw this, he said to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you amazed about this man? Why are you staring at us as though we have made him walk by our own power or godly life? | 12 When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? |
13 The God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed Jesus over to Pilate. You rejected him in Pilate's presence, even though Pilate had decided to let him go free. | 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. |
14 You rejected the man who was holy and innocent. You asked to have a murderer given to you, | 14 You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. |
15 and you killed the source of life. But God brought him back to life, and we are witnesses to that. | 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. |
16 We believe in the one named Jesus. Through his power alone this man, whom you know, was healed, as all of you saw. | 16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see. |
17 "And now, brothers, I know that like your rulers you didn't know what you were doing. | 17 "Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. |
18 But in this way God made the sufferings of his Messiah come true. God had predicted these sufferings through all the prophets. | 18 But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer. |
19 So change the way you think and act, and turn [to God] to have your sins removed. | 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, |
20 Then times will come when the Lord will refresh you. He will send you Jesus, whom he has appointed to be the Christ. | 20 and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus. |
21 Heaven must receive Jesus until the time when everything will be restored as God promised through his holy prophets long ago. | 21 He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. |
22 "Moses said, 'The Lord your God will send you a prophet, an Israelite like me. Listen to everything he tells you. | 22 For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. |
23 Those who won't listen to that prophet will be excluded from the people.' | 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people.' |
24 Samuel and all the prophets who followed him spoke about these days. | 24 "Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days. |
25 You are the descendants of the prophets and the heirs of the promise that God made to our ancestors when he said to Abraham, 'Through your descendant all people on earth will be blessed.' | 25 And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.' |
26 God has brought his servant back to life and has sent him to you first. God did this to bless you by turning every one of you from your evil ways." | 26 When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways." |

What children do online
The investigators of the EU Kids Online Studies asked kids in Europe what online activities they engage in, with the objective of understanding the opportunities they take advantage of and to get a grasp of the risks online.? From this question, interesting results surfaced:
- When children begin to use the internet, the first utility that is given is for doing schoolwork and to play games, without involvement of other people.? Only 14% of don?t go past these activities!
- 86% of children, besides schoolwork and games, watch videos online (for example, YouTube).? These are all ways of using the internet as a massive media-informative and as entertainment.
- The majority of kids (75%) use online interactivity in order to communicate (create social networks, send instant messages and mails) and read/watch the news.? 56% of kids play online with other kids, download movies and music and share content that is the same from both sides (for example, via webcam or messages).
- 23% of kids consulted visit chat rooms, share files, visit blogs and spend time in the virtual world.
What are the risks for children?
This study shows the main risks that children who have online experiences are exposed to.? This can be summed up in three main topics tied to situations where they can establish relationships (online/offline), expose aspects of their privacy (voluntarily or not) o have their identity become vulnerable.
The following graph shows the percentage of children that responded affirmatively to having been exposed, in the past 12 months, to any of the risks mentioned:
Online contact with strangers is the main risk that children have in all of the groups, particularly those who are between 15-16 years of age that are most exposed.
In the report, it is also mentioned that not all children are exposed to the same form or have the same risks. The more online experience they have, the better they are at handling it.? What is important is that parents be alert to what their children are doing and that they are given necessary tools to carry themselves in an online environment.
Generally, children have a positive attitude in regards to parent restrictions, although a third say that sometimes they ignore what their parents say towards internet use.? Parents who practice a more restrictive regulation have children that find less risks and damages but also less opportunities online.

Yet another retailer has listed Xbox 360 Kinect for $149 (about £100) - but this time it's Microsoft's official online shop.
According to the Kinect listing on the MS Store, the $149 pack will include the Kinect sensor, power supply cable, user manual and a 'wi-fi extension cable'... whatever that is.
The MS listing follows a report last night that Kinect will costs the platform holder $150 to manufacture. Would Microsoft really take a $1 loss on each unit?
Amazon and US chain, GameStop also listed the 360 motion cam for $149 - so the price point is looking more and more real.
This is all despite Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg saying that all Kinect prices are speculative via Twitter last week.
So... £100. Would you buy it at a high price?

Nano-Suit Protects Bugs From Vacuums
Re:Spacelike vacuum? (75 comments)
I imagine what they mean is that they were using pressures down to the range seen in low Earth orbit.
I agree with that. In low Earth orbit the vacuum is about 10 * (-6) Torr.
This is also the pressure you can achieve here on earth by relatively simple means using a
turbomolecular pump
OTOH, it is also possible to produce "interstellar" vacuum in a labratory, but i'm pretty sure they would have mentioned this extra effort.

He is hot but probably an ass ... ://
How do you recognize them? There are no names or descriptions given for any of these.

Major league education for Baez continues
Javier Baez doesn't know where the phrase "Javy time" came from, but he definitely knows it didn't come from him.
"Somebody made that up," he said.
But six games into his major league career, the phrase has already become part of the Cubs fans' lexicon, like "Holy Cow" and "Cubbie Occurrence."
Whenever Baez comes to the plate, attention must be paid.
The education of Baez continued on Sunday at Wrigley Field in a 3-2, 12-inning win over the Rays, when the rookie second baseman drove in one run, let another in with an error and kept the game-winning rally alive by reaching first while striking out on a wild pitch.
"I'm happy for him and ecstatic he's here," said Anthony Rizzo, who delivered the walk-off hit in the 12th. "He looks great. He's struck out a few times, but it doesn't bother him. To me, if I had struck out seven times in two games, I'd be like up the wall."
Baez is hitting .276 with three home runs, 12 strikeouts and no walks in his first 29 at-bats. He'll remain in the No. 2 hole until further notice, manager Rick Renteria vowed, despite the low on-base percentage.
Cubs fans are going to have to live with the strikeouts, at least for now.
"I congratulated him after his first three punch-out game," Rizzo said. "I said, 'Hopefully you have a lot more, because that means you'll be in the big leagues for a long time.' "
The Cubs believe one day we'll all look back on this summer as the one where everything started to happen.
The arrivals of Baez, Kyle Hendricks and Arismendy Alcantara has put a noticeable jolt into the Cubs' front office, which spent two years pleading for patience. Opening up the pipeline to them is like uncorking a vintage bottle of wine.
"Since we've been here, we've been talking about when these guys get up there," senior vice president of scouting/player development Jason McLeod said. "By no means are they established, obviously. They're just breaking in. But now it's not so far down, it's not looking way into the future and talking about it.
"Kris (Bryant) is having the year he's having in Triple A, Jorge (Soler) is in Triple A and there's a chance we may see him soon, or at some point. In Double A you've got Albert (Almora) and Addison (Russell) and in Single A you've got (Dan) Vogelbach and (Kyle) Schwarber and (Billy) McKinney.
@lteren Yeah, you want a contact hitter at the #2 spot - that ain't Baez. Alcantara seems a better fit with his shorter swing.Eddie the Basqueat 4:22 PM August 11, 2014
"Those are all the position guys, but on the pitching side, Kyle Hendricks coming up and doing what he's done, and we've had such good performances from Eric Jokisch and Dallas Beeler in Triple A, and C.J. (Edwards) and Pierce (Johnson) in Double A.
"So now you're starting to see that side of the pipeline happen too. So from an organization standpoint, everyone is excited about it. We've got a little taste of the excitement with guys finally touching the big league team, and I think once they get more and more ingrained into the clubhouse, into the players they become … and now you see the wave right behind them."
The challenge for Baez is maintaining his calm demeanor while everyone, including the media, wants a piece of him. Outfielder Chris Coghlan was the National League's rookie of the year with the Marlins in 2009 and then non-tendered last winter, so he knows firsthand that attention can be fleeting.
Coghlan's message is to enjoy it but know it's all just pixie dust.
"When you're young you love it, because this is what you've wanted to do your whole life," Coghlan said. "I remember when I cared about answering questions about every game when I was in Miami. It's the first time playing on TV, and people see you and send you texts. As a young player you like it. I did.
"And as you get older, you realize it's more for the birds, and it's about you focusing (on your job). But it's a tough challenge because there are so many things that are new to you, and you're trying to balance it all."
Roster moves: The Cubs added newcomer Jacob Turner to the bullpen Sunday and activated Neil Ramirez from the disabled list. They sent Brian Schilitter to the DL with right shoulder inflammation, and Chris Rusin was sent to Triple-A Iowa. Ryan Kalish cleared waivers and was sent back to Iowa.

How to use fast PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode of AVR microcontroller Timer
Developed By:
Akshay Daga This article is in continuation of PWM generation using AVR timer. In the previous article, PWM generation using Phase correct PWM mode is described. However, there are some applications like DAC, power regulation and rectification etc. which require high frequency PWM wave. The PWM generation using Fast PWM mode is suitable for such applications. This article focuses on Fast PWM mode of AVR Timer.
The Fast PWM mode is based on single-slope operation. In single slope operation, the register TCNTn counts from bottom value to maximum value and its value resets to zero. The counting starts again from bottom. The register OCRn compares the value with the TCNTn register constantly. If the timer is configured in non-inverting mode, PWM output pin (OCn) goes low when the value of the above two registers matches. The OCn pin becomes high when the TCNTn register reaches at bottom value. In inverting mode OCn pin behaves opposite to non-inverting mode. For timer 0 fast PWM mode, following table shows the functionality of COM 0[1:0] bits.
Frequency of fast PWM mode signal is twice than Phase Correct PWM mode signal because of its single slope operation.
Output frequency of fast PWM signal = Crystal frequency÷(Prescaler ×256)
Objective: Compare output waveform of Phase correct PWM mode and Fast PWM generated signal.
For this objective Timer 0 is configured in Phase correct PWM and Timer 2 is configured in Fast PWM mode. The Duty cycle of signals is set to 50%.
Circuit description:
The connection of ATmega16 is shown in circuit diagram. Since, Timer0 and Timer2 are used to generate PWM wave then output will be taken on OC0(PB3) and OC2(PD7) pins respectively.
Programming steps:
The programming steps to configure Phase correct PWM mode is similar as used in previous article. The following steps are written to configure the Timer2 for Fast PWM mode:
1. Select Fast PWM mode by programming WGM2 [1:0] bit.
2. Program COM2[1:0] and select inverting or non-inverting mode.
3. Set OC2 pin as output pin.
4. Set OCIE2 bit of TIMSK register.
5. Enable global interrupt by "sei()" command.
Output waves:
Phase correct PWM wave frequency by formula:
Output frequency= Crystal frequency÷(Prescaler ×510)
= 12000000 ÷ (8×510)
= 2941.17 Hz = 2.941KHz
Practically, the output wave form has frequency of 2.942 KHz with 50% duty cycle.
Fast PWM frequency by formula:
Output frequency= Crystal frequency ÷ (Prescaler ×256)
= 12000000 ÷ (8×256)
= 5859.375 Hz = 5.859 KHz
Practically, the output wave has frequency of 5.86 KHz with 50% duty cycle.
This experiment proves that Fast PWM wave has twice the frequency of Phase Correct PWM wave.

Can a Computer Fall in Love if It Doesn't Have a Body?
- Friday February 28, 2014
Much has been written about Spike Jonze's Her, the Oscar-nominated tale of love between man and operating system. It's premised on a particular vision of artificial intelligence as capable of experiencing love. But it won't happen anytime soon. An AI — a computer hooked to video cameras, a microphone and a screen — would experience love very different from a brain in a body.

Daniel Radcliffe is Going Ginsberg For 'Kill Your Darlings'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on November 29, 2011 | Comments (1)James Franco isn't just known as the greatest Oscars host of all-time, he's also an actor. An actor who up until now was the most recent man to portray legendary beat poet Allen Ginsberg on screen. Franco played Ginsberg in the movie Howl, which didn't shy away from the perceived obscenity of Ginsberg's works, the fact that there was a lot of drug use going on in the man's life, or the fact that he was pretty openly homosexual. You have to be comfortable dealing with some pretty risqué stuff if you're going to accurately portray Ginsberg on film, so it makes sense that an actor as concerned with being artsy and progressive as James Franco would take the poet on. But what's a little more shocking is the newest actor who is going to be stepping into Ginsberg's shoes. In the upcoming film Kill Your Darlings the poet is going to be played by none other than… Harry Potter?!
Short Film of the Day: Death Carts
Features By Scott Beggs on July 28, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Because the shopping carts won't be pushed around anymore. From the first text that hits the screen explaining the statistics on blood-thirsty shopping carts, it's clear that 1) the absurd is taken seriously here and 2) shopping carts are going to try to kill you and eat your flesh. The exposition is nil here, which is great, because all it really demands is the Night of the Living Dead feel matched with the stakes somehow being raised as a few people battle against rogue shopping carts. There might be a deeper meaning here about consumer culture or about the homeless or about treating your mother better or something, but I don't care to look for it. This short film is hilarious and haunting enough as is. What does it cost? Just 7 minutes of your time. Check out Death Carts for yourself:

Drug Metabolism & Pharmacokinetics
Upon administration, a drug's effect is determined by how well it is Absorbed, Distributed, Metabolized in and Eliminated from the body. The Drug Metabolism & Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) team characterize these ADME properties and determine how to optimize the drug exposure for optimal performance along with other disciplines (pre-clinical and clinical). These efforts aid in selecting the safest and best candidate along with the optimal dosage regimen for the first-in-human, Proof of Concept and pivotal clinical studies. The DMPK team also looks at how the drug should be formulated in collaboration with formulation development scientists (e.g. tablet, capsule, or an oral or injectable solution), and evaluates potential interactions with food or other drugs, to guide dosing to reduce side effects or maintain therapeutic effectiveness.
The information gathered by the team can come from three sources:
- Preclinical experiments conducted in vitro or in vivo to study the integrated pharmacology of the molecule
- Iterative modeling activities translating preclinical data into clinical development strategy, and
- Clinical data collected from healthy volunteers and patients to evaluate human safety and efficacy
All data are used in an iterative manner, where the pre-clinical data is used to better design the clinical studies and the clinical data are continually used to improve the preclinical models. The information collected in clinical pharmacokinetics studies is used by the health authorities to write prescribing information to help the patients and physicians in the optimal use of the product.
This illustrates NIBR's goal of bringing medicines to the patient as quickly as possible with minimal time and effort spent in preclinical studies.

Many Indiana legislators are willing to stand by and watch as the state experiences a huge casino revenue decline
April 29, 2013
By Josh Altic
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana: Although the $680 million seen in the 2010 budget from casinos alone is rapidly decreasing, many law makers agree it is best to resist measures to keep the casino business alive and strong in Indiana.
Casino advocates point to the 15,000 jobs generated by the casino industry and to the massive state casino revenue and argue that keeping the casino industry strong is in the state's best interest. They seek about $100 million in tax reductions and various gaming expansions such as allowing live table games in places where currently only video gambling is allowed and permitting certain operations only allowed on Lake Michigan and Ohio River boats to be pursued on land as well.
Despite the prediction of a 20% drop in casino revenue over the coming years, Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma agrees with many in his opposition to these tax cuts and expansions. Bosma admitted that Indiana has "lived high on the hot" from casino money but wants the state to begin building some independence from that industry. Concerning the proposed casino measures he said, "I'm not prepared to engage in a massive expansion of gaming just to keep revenues up. I don't want to see us get any deeper."[1]

extension of the previous one, no one is allowed to take out more than five books at a time. In a sophisticated version of this system, a librarian first determines how many books a subject already has out before allowing that subject to take more out. Such a policy requires a check of the subject's identity and current status.
In a library with an even more complex policy, only certain people are allowed to access certain books. The librarian performs a check by name of who is allowed to access which books. This policy frequently involves the development of long lists of names and may evolve toward, in some cases, a negative list, that is, a list of people who should not be able to have access to specific information. In large organizations, determining which users have access to specific information frequently is based on the project they are working on or the level of sensitivity of data for which they are authorized. In each of these cases, there is an access control policy and an enforcement mechanism. The policy defines the access that an individual will have to information contained in the library. The librarian serves as the policy-enforcing mechanism.
The best-known and most widely used formal models of computer security functionality, the Bell and LaPadula model and its variants (Bell and LaPadula, 1976), emphasize confidentiality (protection from unauthorized disclosure of information) as their primary security service. In particular, these models attempt to capture the "mandatory" (what ISO Standard 7498-2 (ISO, 1989) refers to as "administratively directed, label-based") aspects of security policy. This is especially important in providing protection against "Trojan horse" software, a significant concern among those who process classified data. Mandatory controls are typically enforced by operating-system mechanisms at the relatively coarse granularity of processes and files. This state of affairs has resulted from a number of factors, several of which are noted below:
The basic security models were accurately perceived to represent Department of Defense (DOD) security concerns for protecting classified information from disclosure, especially in the face of Trojan horse attacks. Since it was under the auspices of DOD funding that the work in formal security policy models was carried out, it is not surprising that the emphasis was on models that reflected DOD requirements for confidentiality.
The embodiment of the model in the operating system has been

George K. Lewis: People in town deserve honors
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
To the editor:
I see no reason to say anything more than the letter of April 4, "Bring honor back to Mr. Cortner" stated, and which was signed by nine individuals. Bless them all, and I would have been honored to have made it ten signatures, if I had had the opportunity to do so.
While we are on the subject of honor, perhaps it would be timely to honor some folks that have been part of the community for the last 9 years. One of them, Donna Watkins has, in a very professional manner, furthered the quality of the three libraries in Moffat County. Both she and her husband Charlie have done so many things in volunteering their time and talents for the community, it would be a challenge to enumerate. Some of what they have done for individuals will have to be left unmentioned but those who received their help will always be thankful I'm sure.
Charlie, who is retired from the military, became involved with the local VFW Post 4265 and held the position of Post Commander for two years. During one of those years, the Post hosted the State VFW Convention. While working within the Post he made many trips to Washington D.C., continuing to push for more benefits for Veterans with help from the Salazar brothers, in obtaining a Veterans Clinic for Northwestern Colorado which materialized last year and is operating in a manner that made many medical trips to Grand Junction unnecessary. Charlie also played a big part in getting the Vietnam Wall to Craig last year. While being involved with VFW state functions the last two years, he has been Chief of Staff for the State Commander, which results in frequent trips to different VFW Posts around the state.
As mentioned above, it has been a challenge to do justice in recognizing these folks. They have done so much more than the above. The community of Craig will miss Charlie and Donna, upon their retirement.

Statement by the GAVI Alliance interim CEO, Helen Evans
Geneva, 26 April 2011 - Every year, some 270,000 women die from cervical cancer, most of them in developing countries where screening and treatment services are lacking. In a country like Rwanda, cervical cancer is the leading cancer killer. Most of these deaths occur when women are in their forties and fifties, as opposed to most cancers which kill later in life, therefore, in addition to the personal and family tragedy, causing an important national economic and health burden.
GAVI is committed to working with its partners to accelerate the introduction of HPV vaccines into poor countries and working to make vaccines more affordable.
Helen Evans, Interim CEO, GAVI Alliance
Human papillomaviruses ( HPV ), a group of commonly transmitted viruses, are the cause of cervical cancer. Two HPV types, types 16 and 18 are responsible for 70% of cervical cancer cases.
Two new highly effective and safe HPV vaccines offer the opportunity to protect women against infection with these two types of HPV responsible for most cervical cancers. Recognising the benefits of the HPV vaccines, many industrialised countries have already introduced them into routine immunisation for girls and young women. Developing countries, where the burden of cervical cancer is the highest, are also keen to provide the vaccines.
Today, Rwanda is introducing the HPV vaccine into its national immunisation programme. The announcement that Rwandan girls will benefit from HPV vaccine protection marks one step further in the fight against this killer cancer.
GAVI is committed to working with its partners to accelerate the introduction of HPV vaccines into poor countries and working to make vaccines more affordable. A successful outcome of GAVI's Pledging Conference on 13 June will accelerate the introduction of HPV vaccines to the poorest girls and women of the world.

Say No To The Proposed New Laneshawbridge School
Contrary to misleading editorial in the local newspaper, a planning application for a new school in Laneshawbridge has not yet been submitted by Lancashire County Council and the success of any such planning application is by no means a foregone conclusion.
There is much that can be done to object to the proposals, both before and after the planning application is submitted.
Statistics obtained under a Freedom for Information request exposes Lancashire County Council's ( LCC) contention that a major new school in Laneshawbridge is needed to satisfy local need as a sham.
Despite repeated requests to LCC to confirm numbers of pupils attending the school from outside the area LCC refused citing it was not Council policy to release such information.
However figures now revealed show that 75% of pupils are from outside the area.
It is no wonder LCC wanted to keep these numbers from the public, they blow a hole in their entire argument and it is yet more evidence of how the process has been manipulated. LCC as both the party that will submit the planning application and the planning authority who will be determining the planning application, when it is made, need to be very careful that the process is absolutely independent and seen to be 100% legitimate.
At a time when LCC have been tasked with saving £160m, spending £4.25m plus on a new school doesn't look either good economics or indeed politics especially when other schools in the area are in need of repair and upgrade.
If you object to the proposals, please sign this petition and you will be kept fully informed about the campaign and advised how you can present your opinion anonymously.
If you haven't already seen the proposed plans, please find a copy below. To see in more detail, right click on the image and save it to your computer, then you will be able to enlarge it.
Thankyou for your support.

Rolls-Royce wins £20m contract for Chinese seismic research vessel
Wednesday, 16 February 2011
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a £20 million order from Chinese conglomerate Sinopec to design and equip a specialist seismic research vessel. When operational it will carry out detailed surveys of the seabed to identify oil and gas reserves. The contract includes efficient power and propulsion systems and a range of advanced automated handling systems for seismic equipment.
Rolls-Royce has a growing presence in the subsea and seismic technology markets, and during the last three months, inclusive of this contract, the Group has secured seismic orders totalling more than £50 million.
Cato Fjeldstad, Rolls-Royce, Sales Manager - Special Purpose Vessels, said:
"Rolls-Royce has decades of experience in designing specialist vessels to meet the needs of the oil and gas industry and continues to develop industry leading technology. Our expertise enables our customers to meet their objectives safely and efficiently, while operating in some of the most challenging environments on earth."
The vessel, a UT 830 CD, will be able to operate worldwide and will be the first of its type to be equipped with a package of Rolls-Royce handling systems for seismic equipment.
During research missions, the vessel will tow up to 14 cables, or 'streamers', each 10 kilometres long. Seismic waves are sent deep into the seabed and the reflected waves are detected by hydrophones spread along the network of streamers. This data is then used to give a detailed 3D profile of the geological features, including the location of oil and gas, often thousands of meters below sea level.
Conducting seismic research requires a powerful and stable vessel, which provides extensive endurance, with enough stores and fuel for 70 days at sea. Seismic surveys involve criss-crossing large sections of the seabed, at low speed, often requiring several weeks of continuous operation.
Shanghai Shipyard Co will build the vessel for Shanghai Offshore Petroleum Geophysical Corporation (part of the Sinopec organisation), with delivery scheduled for 2013.
- Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 500 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 2,500 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in nearly 120 countries, with an installed base of 54,000 gas turbines.
- Annual underlying revenues were over £10.8 billion in 2010, of which more than half came from the provision of services. The firm and announced order book stood at £59.2 billion at 31 December 2010, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 39,000 skilled people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in over 50 countries. Over 11,000 of these employees are engineers.
- In 2010, Rolls-Royce invested £923 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental performance of its products, in particular reducing emissions.
- Rolls-Royce supports a global network of 28 University Technology Centres, which connect the company's engineers with the forefront of scientific research.
- The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment and to further developing employee skills.

Summary: American Encounters is a long-awaited dynamic new narrative of the history of American art that focuses on historical encounters among diverse cultures, upon broad structural transformations such as the rise of the middle classes and the emergence of consumer and mass culture, and on the fluid exchanges between ldquo;highrdquo; art and vernacular expression. The text emphasizes the intersections among cultures and populations, as well as the influences, borrowings, and appropriati ...show moreons that have enriched and vitalized our collective cultural heritage. There was a readily perceived need for an up-to-date survey of American art that addressed the thematic, cultural, and historical concerns of the field in the 21 st century. American Encounters offers a new narrative of American art organized around the theme of cross-cultural exchanges. It locates America at the cross-roads of cultural encounters between Asia, Africa, Europe, and the New World, for over five centuries. The authors do not treat traditions separately, rather they explore how peoples and cultures encounter and influence each other and then evolve based on an exchange of ideas, materials etc. ...show less

The fight over an oil pipeline through the drinking water supply for Mobile, Alabama has landed in court.
Environmental groups are challenging a permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Plains Southcap, LLC pipeline routed through the Big Creek Lake watershed.
The lawsuit filed Friday in Federal Court in Alabama's Southern District by the Southern Environmental Law Center on behalf of Mobile Baykeeper charges that the Corps' authorization of the crude oil pipeline's route threatens the safety of the local water supply.
If allowed to be finished -- no guarantee since it is still being debated by municipal authorities in Mobile -- the 41-mile-long pipeline could transport up to 150,000 to 200,000 barrels per day (or 6.3 to 8.4 million gallons per day) of tar sands crude or other types of oil through the watershed of Big Creek Lake and Hamilton Creek, the primary drinking water source for a majority of Mobile County, as well as the cities of Mobile, Prichard, Semmes, Saraland, Chickasaw, Spanish Fort and other municipalities.
"The law requires that a project of this magnitude go through a more rigorous and appropriate evaluation," said Keith Johnston, managing attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center's office in Birmingham. "A crude oil pipeline within close proximity of the drinking water supply is a major concern and must be considered by the Army Corps in its permitting process."
The Corps of Engineers approved this pipeline in January 2013 under the nationwide permit program, a streamlined permitting process designed to approve projects with little environmental impact. The legal challenge requests that the Corps withdraw the nationwide 12 permit verifications and require Plains Southcap, LLC to apply for and obtain an individual permit before completing construction of the pipeline.
The interstate pipeline is planned to stretch from Plains Southcap's Ten-Mile Crude Oil Facility in Mobile and extend southwest to the Chevron Refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi, approximately one mile from the Gulf of Mexico.
Local opposition to the project has continued to grow, and city and elected officials have expressed concerns over the pipeline's proximity to the water supply and asked for alternative routes to be considered. Along with local utility provider Daphne Utilities, several cities and towns including Mobile, Daphne, Prichard, Semmes, Spanish Fort, and Bayou La Batre have signed resolutions opposing a crude oil pipeline in their drinking water watershed. Furthermore, the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System has fought against the condemnation of their land in the watershed.
"Pipelines aren't foolproof, and it's our communities who pay the price when they break," said Casi Callaway, Executive Director for Mobile Baykeeper. "What happened in West Virginia shows us just how important it is to protect our drinking water."
More than 200 concerned citizens, public officials and environmental activists showed up at acitizens-called town hall public hearing last July to learn more about a plan to pump thick, hot Canadian tar sands crude oil making its way to the Gulf Coast in rail cars through a new pipeline under the Mobile area's fresh drinking water reservoir.
The fight has intensified ever since, and a number of activist groups, including the Alabama and Mobile Bay chapters of the Alabama Sierra Club, have vowed to stop the pipeline even if that means putting their bodies on the line in acts of civil disobedience.

Today is the first day of 2014. Make it a good one. With a new year comes a new start, another chance to get it right. We are certain all of us have some regrets from 2013. Things we did. Things we didn't do. Things we should have done. And while we can't turn back time, or erase any of those regrets, we have 365 days in front of us to try again. We can push the reset button, so to speak.
From the Lexington Herald-Leader
Goodness knows, a state that grows tobacco, which kills people, and champions products like gambling and liquor is hard-pressed to put on airs when it comes to industrial hemp, a botanical cousin to marijuana. So we stand by our longstanding support for legalizing industrial hemp production. But make no mistake about it, industrial hemp will not transform Kentucky's economy.
It's been a busy few months for the Marion County Board of Education. Many things have happened in a very short amount of time. So, let's review… Superintendent Chuck Hamilton unexpectedly announced his retirement on May 2, and the search for a new superintendent began immediately. On June 25, the board hired Steve Burkich as the acting superintendent of Marion County Public Schools.
The Gravel Switch Fire Department is going through some big changes. Recently, the leadership of the department has changed, with Kevin Rogers taking over as chief and Jamie Garrett taking over as assistant chief. They replace former chief Larry Vaughn and his assistant chief Vincent Tungate. The Gravel Switch community has also created a new advisory council to provide oversight and assistance to the fire department.
The streets of Lebanon are stained with different colors from Saturday's Color in Motion 5K. It's likely many Kentuckians, including hundreds of Marion Countians, are also sporting some colorful residue on different parts of their bodies after participating in the fun event. Heck, some of our four-legged friends probably have some colorful coats, too, after tagging along during the 3.1-mile route, which included color stations where runners were doused with red, orange, purple, green, blue and yellow powdered paint.
From The State Journal (Frankfort)
The leading causes of death in the United States are heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases and stroke. Accidents rank fifth on the list. Those accidents, however, are deaths caused by unintentional injuries, not by a terrorist incident such as the one that happened Monday, April 15, in Boston. The three most common types of accidents that result in death are car wrecks, falls and unintentional poisonings.
Every time we think the Marion County Lady Knights can't do any more to impress us, they find another way.
You would think finishing 39-0, winning a state championship and producing the first McDonald's All-American in school history would be enough. But, not for these ladies.
The Marion County Lady Knights have had quite a ride during the past four years. Four straight trips to the Sweet 16. Three trips to the final four. Two consecutive state finals appearances. And one perfect season, ending with the first girls basketball state championship in Marion County history. It's hard to know where to begin in recounting this team's success. They finished the season 39-0 becoming the first unbeaten Kentucky girls team since Marshall County in 1984.

Last Wednesday, the day Americans woke up to the results of Tuesday's midterm elections, was also a day of great historical significance in the United States. It was on Nov. 5, 1872, that voting rights campaigner Susan B. Anthony made history by casting a ballot on election day in Rochester, N.Y., though women had no legal right to vote. That act of defiance resulted in her arrest.

If you are a graduate student enrolled at Bryn Mawr College in Arts & Sciences or the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, you are invited to participate in the following TLI forums:
"To teach is to create space" - Parker Palmer, quoted in O'Reilley, 1999, p. 1
The Pedagogy Workshops Series consists of weekly, interactive, two-hour sessions for graduate students and interim faculty members interested in exploring, developing, and refining pedagogical conceptions and approaches. Workshops meet every Thursday from 9:00-1:00 a.m. in SWSR 221-Hathway.
The workshops aim to create a space for reflection, analysis, questioning, and planning. You will draw on your experiences as students, T.A.s, and teachers across a range of disciplines and at different stages of your formal preparation and careers, and you will complete templates, respond to critical questions, and generate questions about and plans for effective teaching practice. There will be recommended reading, but the majority of the 'content' of the sessions will be generated by participants through templates, discussion, and reflection.
These workshops count toward the Dean's Certificate in Pedagogy, which is overseen by the Dean of Graduate Studies.
Contact Alison Cook-Sather (email@example.com) if you would like to participate in one or more of these sessions (please send a message at least two days in advance of any particular session you wish to join).
September 4: CONCEPTUALIZATIONS OF EDUCATION
How we understand the concept of 'education' shapes how we think of our roles as teachers and structure learning opportunities for students. In this workshop we will address the question: What do we understand the process of education to be and how can we as teachers facilitate learning according to the definition(s) of education we generate?
September 11: LEARNING ABOUT LEARNING
Notions of how people learn and the purpose of learning have changed over time. In this workshop we will address the question: What do we know about how people learn and how can we build on that to develop classrooms conducive to and supportive of learning?
September 18: PREPARING TO TEACH
In this workshop we will address four key questions from What the Best College Teachers Do: (1) What should my students be able to do intellectually, physically, or emotionally as a result of their learning? (2) How can I best help and encourage them to develop those abilities and the habits of the heart and mind to use them? (3) How can my students and I best understand the nature, quality, and progress of their learning? and (4) How can I evaluate my efforts to foster that learning?
September 25: STARTING WITH THE LEARNER/ KEEPING STUDENT INTEREST
In what ways can we as teachers "start where the learner is" (Bruner, 1977) and engage and keep students' interest? What do we need to know do take such an approach? What are the drawbacks or challenges of doing so?
October 2: TEACHING STYLES
Teaching styles have much to do with assumptions and beliefs about what teaching is. Styles are not strategies anyone can simply adopt; rather, you need to create a style that is congruent with your commitments and personality. In this workshop we spend some time exploring different people's notions of teaching, and then we discuss what kinds of teaching styles you might be comfortable developing.
October 9: COURSE DESIGN
This workshop gives you the opportunity to explore individually and as a group key notions from Fink's Creating Significant Learning Experiences and three key questions in course design from Wiggins & McTighe's Understanding By Design: (1) What are the learning goals of the course? (2) What will count as acceptable evidence of student learning? and (3) What activities, sequence, and resources are best suited to accomplish your goals?
October 23: ASSESSMENT & GRADING: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
How do you embed grading within the larger frame/context of how you conceptualize (consciously or unconsciously) course content, student learning processes and participation, and assessment? What is the relationship between grading as a kind of formative assessment used throughout the semester to inform instruction as well as guide learners through the course and grading as a summative assessment that measures what you and students have achieved together by the end of the course?
October 30: THE CONDITIONS OF LEARNING/CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE CLASSROOMS
What kind of classroom climate is open to learning in various ways and supportive of diverse learners? What are the meanings and relevance of safety, risk, and trust in relationship to pedagogy? What lessons can we draw from a project called "Toward More Culturally Responsive Classrooms" and other sources to think about creating a classroom environment conducive to learning for all students?
November 7: LESSON PLANNING
What are your experiences as students and teachers in relation to "lesson plans"? What issues are important to consider in planning? What format works might be the best fit for you and why?
November 13: LECTURES
Lectures can be an effective way to convey a lot of information in a short time, but just because a teacher says something doesn't mean a student learns it. In this workshop we will explore the purpose of lectures, your own positive and negative experiences with lectures, strategies for creating, delivering, and assessing lectures generated by both bi-co faculty and students across the divisions and disciplines, and your hopes for and concerns about yourself as a lecturer.
November 20: LEADING DISCUSSIONS
Critical theorist Paulo Freire argued that only through dialogue can there be real communication and only through communication can there be genuine education. In this workshop, we will explore the purpose of class discussions, your own positive and negative experiences with class discussions, strategies for facilitating good class discussion generated by both bi-co faculty and students across the divisions and disciplines, and your concerns about yourself as a facilitator of class discussions.
December 4: PULLING IT ALL TOGETHER:
In this workshop we will pull together the various ideas and practices we have explored over the course of the year. Please come prepared to share (1) What you have done or seen done that has been (a) effective and (b) ineffective in establishing a constructive learning environment in a class and (2) Some thoughts on how you would draw on the different concepts and approaches we have explored in our pedagogy workshops to create the kind of learning environment you want in your classroom.
December 11: DEVELOPING A PORTFOLIO AND STATEMENT OF YOUR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
For this workshop, bring all your notes from workshops you have attended and other work you have done through these workshops. We will discuss ways to organize and build your portfolio, and we will focus specifically on writing a statement of philosophy. Please draft a statement before you attend with the goal of revising it during and subsequent to the workshop.
Contact Alison Cook-Sather, Coordinator of The Andrew W. Mellon Teaching and Learning Institute, email@example.com.
