(Idle speculation time here....)
UPDATE, March 1: might as well add another idle prediction - Ron Paul won't run on a third party ticket. Not for the general reason that this would make trouble for his son, but the specific reason that his son would have to choose between endorsing his father and endorsing his own party, which would be bad for Rand's future. Blood is thicker than libertarianism.
UPDATE, March 7: the Lamestream Media catches on to Santorum 2016. No hat tip but I doubt I was the first to publicly notice it, and Santorum probably thought it through as a possibility when he was still a polling asterisk.

Many people are entirely accustomed to the routine of throwing all of their laundry into the washer and then the dryer, before perhaps waving an iron in the general direction of the pile.
My regular customers know the many benefits of our dry cleaning and laundry services, but we get new customers all the time who purchased something before realizing that the tag said those special words:
Of course, most things that say "dry clean only" don't need to be cleaned every time you wear it. To preserve the life of your clothing, keep an eye on these items and bring them in to be cleaned when they need to be refreshed – to both the eyes and nose. You don't want your clothing to smell bad or look wilted! And dirt embedded in clothing will actually shorten its useful life.
On Site Cleaning = Access To Professional Dry Cleaning Management
At Champion Cleaners we do our dry cleaning and laundry on site. This gives you access to professional dry cleaning management in Vestavia Hills on Rocky Ridge Road, Hoover at Highway 280 in Gresytone and Calera on Highway 31.

An Entertainment Weekly and BookPage Best Book of the Year
During her treatment for cancer, Mary Anne Schwalbe and her son Will spent many hours sitting in waiting rooms together. To pass the time, they would talk about the books they were reading. Once, by chance, they read the same book at the same time—and an informal book club of two was born. Through their wide-ranging reading, Will and Mary Anne—and we, their fellow readers—are reminded how books can be comforting, astonishing, and illuminating, changing the way that we feel about and interact with the world around us. A profoundly moving memoir of caregiving, mourning, and love—The End of Your Life Book Club is also about the joy of reading, and the ways that joy is multiplied when we share it with others.
Excerpted from The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe. Copyright © 2012 by Will Schwalbe. Excerpted by permission of Vintage, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Will Schwalbe has worked in publishing (most recently as senior vice president and editor in chief of Hyperion Books); digital media, as the founder and CEO of Cookstr.com; and as a journalist, writing for various publications including The New York Times and the South China Morning Post. He is on the board of the Kingsborough Community College Foundation. He is the coauthor, with David Shipley, of Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better.
Will Schwalbe is represented by Random House Speakers Bureau (www.rhspeakers.com)
"A graceful, affecting testament to a mother and a life well lived." —Entertainment Weekly, Grade A
"Schwalbe . . . highlights not just how relevant but how integral literature can be to life." —The Washington Post
"[This] book is robust with love and laughter." —Chicago Tribune
"Not only a son's heartfelt tribute to [his mother's] courage and grace but vivid testimony to the enduring power of books to create meaning out of chaos, illuminate values, and connect us with each other." —The Boston Globe
"A loving celebration of a mother by a son." —The New York Times Book Review
"A book that is expressly about books, about the purpose and pleasures of books, and the ways they connect us even as we read them as a solitary pursuit. . . . [It's also] about, in part, the consolations we can find in art, books in particular, as we struggle to face the terrible awareness of our own mortality." —The Plain Dealer
"Moving." —O, The Oprah Magazine
"An account of growing up in a bookish, artistic family, and a touching portrait of his energetic mother. . . . The [reading] choices that emerge are not a bucket list but an engagingly eclectic mixture of current and vintage, literary and commercial." —The New Yorker
"Uplifting. . . . So much life is lived, and such powerful lessons are shared on this family's journey that the reader can't help but be moved and motivated." —Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Schwalbe's enthusiasm turns out to be contagious. As I was reading I found myself scribbling titles on a piece of paper so that I could order the volumes he and his mother cared about. Schwalbe is not just an avid reader, he is also an advocate, a cheerleader, a disciple." —Rachel Shteir, The New York Times
"A warm reminder why we read and what our reading says about us and the ways we connect with others." —The Columbus Dispatch
"Completely engaging and difficult to put down. Hearing Schwalbe recount the effects that one selfless and loving person can have on the world is sad without being depressing, and deeply inspirational on a personal level to every imaginable reader." —The Independent
"Touching and rigorously honest, this memoir is wise about the role reading plays in our lives and deaths."—Slate
"The most moving memoir of the year." —Sacramento Bee
"A tribute to a remarkable woman and an examplary reader." —Salon
"A gentle, searingly moving memoir, at once a love letter and a generous, incisive set of instructions not about how to die but about how to live." —More
1. Does this book have a central theme? What is it?
2. Why does Mary Anne always read a book's ending first? How does this reflect her character?
3. Early in the book, Will writes, "I wanted to learn more about my mother's life and the choices she'd made, so I often steered the conversation there. She had an agenda of her own, as she almost always did. It took me some time, and some help, to figure it out." (6) What was Mary Anne's agenda?
4. Mary Anne underlined a passage in Seventy Verses on Emptiness, which resonated with Will: "Permanent is not; impermanent is not; a self is not; not a self [is not]; clean is not; not clean is not; happy is not; suffering is not." Why did this strike both of them as significant? What do you think it means?
5. Throughout the book, Will talks about books as symbols and sources of hope. How has reading books served a similar function for you?
6. While reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, Will and Mary Anne discuss three kinds of fateful choices: "the ones characters make knowing that they can never be undone; the ones they make thinking they can but learn they can't; and the ones they make thinking they can't and only later come to understand, when it's too late, when 'nothing can be undone,' that they could have." (41) What kind of choices did Mary Anne make during her cancer treatment? Did she or Will make any of the third type?
7. Mary Anne especially liked a passage from Gilead by Marilynne Robinson: "When you encounter another person, when you have dealings with anyone at all, it is as if a question is being put to you. So you must think, What is the Lord asking of me in this moment, in this situation?" (96) Why do you think this moved her so much? What did it mean to Will?
8. How does religious belief help Mary Anne? How do you think it might have helped Will?
Mary Anne doesn't believe her travels to war-torn countries were brave: "I wanted to go to all those places, so how could that be brave? The people I'm talking about, they did things they didn't want to do because they felt they had to, or because they thought it was the right thing to do." (167) In what ways is Mary Anne brave during her cancer treatments? Does she ever come to think of herself as brave?
10. Will is amazed by his mother's ability to continue her efforts to fund the library in Afghanistan even while facing a death sentence, until he realizes that "she used her emotions to motivate her and help her concentrate. The emphasis for her was always on doing what needed to be done. I had to learn this lesson while she was still there to teach me." (194) Did Will learn? What makes you think so?
11. Why did Mary Anne become so intent on certain things happening: Obama's election, David Rohde's safe return? Will talks about his own "magical thinking" several times in the book—what form do you think Mary Anne's took?
12. "We're all in the end-of-our-life book club, whether we acknowledge it or not; each book we read may well be the last, each conversation the final one." (281) How did this realization affect Will's final days with his mom?
13. After she dies, Will looks at Mary Anne's copy of Daily Strength for Daily Needs, next to the bed. He believes this quote from John Ruskin was the last thing his mother ever read: "If you do not wish for His kingdom, don't pray for it. But if you do, you must do more than pray for it; you must work for it." (321) How did Mary Anne work for it throughout her life? Do you think Will found solace in this passage?
14. Several times in the book, Will talks about eBooks versus their physical counterparts. Why does he prefer one to the other? Does Mary Anne agree? If you read this book on an eReader, how do you think it affected your experience?
15. Which of the books discussed by Will and Mary Anne have you read? Which do you most want to read?

The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility stands firm on its support of the 21 year old drinking law and remains committed to providing students, parents, administrators and the entire campus community with the educational resources they need to fight alcohol abuse on campus. Our sponsorship of NSAC provided participants with the opportunity to address a social issue to promote behavioral change: the prevention of dangerous over consumption of alcohol among college students.
Over 140 teams representing colleges and universities across the nation accepted the challenge to work on the case study developed by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, with the assistance of the Ad Council and the American Council on Education. The wealth of ideas presented by students nationwide was very impressive. Students have made it very clear that conversations about binge drinking need to be different and most importantly, they must be engaged in finding viable solutions.
During the next phase of this important project, we will be supporting student-led implementation of several of the ideas presented during the competition in order to further explore their potential effectiveness in dealing with dangerous over-consumption of alcohol on our nation's college campuses.
While The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is not in a position to specifically agree or disagree with all of the statements or executions that may be tested, our goal is positive results, and if some of these highly creative executions can be shown to succeed in bringing down rates of dangerous over-consumption on campus, that goal, shared by everyone, will have been brought closer to fruition.

The village is characterised by the imposing monastery and the collegiate church. There are still about 30 monks living and working here today. The Mountain of Angels as the founders of the Benedictine monastery called the place in 1120 is a popular excursion destination for people travelling from nearby Lucerne: the journey to Engelberg by road or narrow-gauge railway can take as little as one hour.
The Titlis is the highest glacier excursion destination and biggest ski and snowboard paradise in Central Switzerland. The Titlis and its glacier park are accessible by revolving rotair cableway. At an altitude of 3020 metres above sea level visitors are treated to a fabulous view of the central Alps. The Titlis Glacier Park and the "Ice Flyer" chairlift are a paradise for visitors looking for gliding fun. Mt. Titlis also offers a glacier grotto in eternal ice and Europe's highest suspension bridge.
Fürenalp (1,850 meters above sea level), Brunni (1,875 meters) and, naturally, Mt. Titlis (3,020 meters) offer something for everyone. For instance, a ride on the Ice-Flyer or Snowtubing in the Slide Park on the Titlis. Among the other excursion destinations are the Kneipp Trail around the Härzlisee Lake on the Brunni, the water adventure park on the Ristis or the toboggan run. Fürenalp – far from all hustle and bustle – is ideal for nature lovers. A network of over 360 kilometers of hiking and walking trails invite young and old alike to discover the natural beauty of Engelberg.
In winter Engelberg enchants visitors with its white winter wonderland. The long winter begins as early as October and lasts until mid-May. The most exciting snowsport paradise of Central Switzerland can be enjoyed, for example, on a fast descent on one of the ski pistes, which extend for 82 kilometers. The longest descent of the Alps, measuring 12 kilometers, is found here. Fun-filled sledding parties, 30 kilometers of cross-country tracks, and 14 winterhiking trails round out the comprehensive range of offerings.
In Engelberg, families enjoy the benefits of the "Families Welcome" quality label which guarantees facilities catering for families specifically. The summer tobogganing run and exotic petting zoo with lamas are just two examples of the wealth of experiences on offer for children.
- Engelberg Monastery - the biggest church organ in Switzerland, collegiate library and exhibition cheese diary are the most important attractions of the monastery.
- Titlis and Rotair cableway - highest glacier excursion destination and biggest ski and snowboard paradise in Central Switzerland, accessible by rotating cablecar.
- Four-lake-tour - magnificent tour from mirror-smooth Lake Trüb to deep blue Lake Engstlen, on to turquoise Lake Tannen all the way to picturesque Lake Melch.

For example, during recent production work on a feature film, difficulties in workload, signoffs, and rework reached an unsustainable level. The visual special effects manager must choose between an off-the-shelf product and a custom, in-house solution. However, his decision is complicated by the creative work environment and the number of systems to which the new system must be integrated.

This is a no win proposition. Their approach is horribly flawed, despite the appropriateness of the statement being made.
And, in the end, we need BART to remain around (because if they were actually competent enough to organize even just a one-day boycott, that would cripple BART financially). We just need their police to be less murderous. On that note, why not go after the division responsible for hiring BART police?! It's totally fuckall.

Implementing numerical InputBox in Windows Phone
This article shows how to implement a numerical input box, which handles negative/ positive integers as well as float values, in WP8 applications.
Windows Phone 8
Windows Phone 7.5
In general you can implement numerical InputBox for WP8 by simply defining the InputScope to be Number. This gives you a keyboard with numerical characters as well as the minus sign and decimal separators. This implementation of an InputBox does not give options to do any other filtering.
This article illustrates a simplified way on doing input filtering such that the InputBox can be handled for both negative and positive integers as well as float values. This article also illustrates a simple way of showing a valid range. Such an InputBox is very useful in certain scenarios - for example while providing a latitude or a longitude as an input, as shown below.
The example in this article has been implemented in several Map examples available in the Windows Phone 8 Maps Examples project.
Generally, to get the input to work as expected, you need to:
- Implement NumberInputBox the class
- Include the namespace in your xaml file
- Use the NumberInputBox just as you would use normal textboxes
Implementing the NumberInputBox class
To include new class into a project, you would simply right click the project, select Add->New item from the pop-up menu and then select Class from the list and give the class a meaningful name.
As we simply want to make InputBox, we get it done lot easier by reusing the already available implementations. Thus, we derive a new class from TextBox as shown below.
public class NumberInputBox : TextBox
To enable different types of input, we define an enumeration which accounts for available input types, as shown below.
public enum InputType
Integer = 0,
IntegerPositive = 1,
Float = 2,
FloatPositive = 3,
We then define an internal variable for which we can set the input type into. Also, we have internal variables for limiting the values for a valid input, as well as a Boolean variable which indicates whether the current input is in the defined range.
public InputType Type { get; set; }
public int MaxValue { get; set; }
public int MinValue { get; set; }
public bool ValueOk { get; set; }
We can then implement the constructor for the class. Inside the constructor, we will need to set the input scope to make sure we get right keyboard for the input, as well as we need to set the callback for the TextChanged event. Which after we simply set default values for the internal variables, so to make sure that they are always valid.
Then the actual filtering of the input happens inside the TextChangedEvent function. Inside the function, we simply take the current input, put it through our own parser, and then set it back to the visible text. After setting the value, we check whether we have max/min values set, and if they are we check the input range and use colour to indicate whether the value is within the defined range.
private void TextChangedEvent(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
this.Text = ParseDouble(this.Text);
this.SelectionStart = this.Text.Length;
if (this.MaxValue != this.MinValue)
double d;
if (double.TryParse(this.Text, out d))
if (d < this.MinValue || d > this.MaxValue)
this.ValueOk = false;
this.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
this.ValueOk = true;
this.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
The parsing code is really simple. It basically takes the whole input buffer and removes any characters which are not allowed. After which it returns the string which is only having allowed input characters. The buffer is simple looped through in for loop from first character until the last.
In each loop, first in the validations the first character is checked whether it contains minus sign, and this character is only allowed to be the first character, in any other place it will be ignored. Also if only positive input is allowed, then no minus sign is accepted in any position.
The second check is accepting any digit-characters at any position of the buffer.
If the number input is in float mode, then the last check is allowing the buffer to contain single instance of decimal separator. Note that the decimal separator used inside the code depends on the locale used, the UI default separator might not match the one required by the code. Thus, with this check both dot and comma characters are allowed however the returned buffer will only contain the decimal separator for the current locale.
String ParseDouble(string input)
if (input.Length > 0)
String outBut = "";
bool foundSeparator = false;
for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; i++)
if ((this.Type == NumberInputBox.InputType.Integer
|| this.Type == NumberInputBox.InputType.Float)
&& ((i == 0) && input[0] == '-'))
outBut = outBut + input[i];
else if ((input[i] >= '0' && input[i] <= '9'))
outBut = outBut + input[i];
else if (this.Type == NumberInputBox.InputType.Float
|| this.Type == NumberInputBox.InputType.FloatPositive)
if (foundSeparator == false)
string Sepa = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalSeparator;
if (Sepa.Length > 0)
if (Sepa[0] == input[i] || '.' == input[i] || ',' == input[i])
outBut = outBut + Sepa[0];
foundSeparator = true;
return outBut;
return "";
Adding NumberInputBox to your XAML
First you need to add the namespace to your XAML file. For e.g. if the class is defined under the AreaSelector namespace, then simple add following text into the header section of the XAML file.
Then to use the control, instead of using textbox tags you would be using myns:NumberInputBox tags instead. For example, if you wish to have input boxes for latitude and longitude values, you could do it as follows:
<myns:NumberInputBox x:Name="LatitudeBox" Type="Float" MaxValue="90" MinValue="-90"/>
<myns:NumberInputBox x:Name="LongittudeBox" Type="Float" MaxValue="180" MinValue="-180"/>
This article showed how to implement a numerical InputBox in WP8 applications. Such an InputBox may be useful for accepting input values such as latitude or longitude values.

Less about Wayland, we want to now more about the vodka-coke! :P
Phoronix: Ubuntu Is Going To Deploy Wayland With Unity
This is going to be short as I have another flight to catch to San Diego for the next week [if anyone wants to meet-up to discuss Linux, Phoronix, or the Phoronix Test Suite in the area, contact me]. Anyhow, Mark Shuttleworth just sent over an email saying that they will be deploying the Wayland Display Server with their Unity Desktop -- that's replacing the GNOME Shell by default -- in a future Ubuntu release!..
Less about Wayland, we want to now more about the vodka-coke! :P
that was something i didn't expect at least anytime soon
How will Wayland make a difference to users/developers etc.?
As long as you follow the development guidelines for Ubuntu to the letter, you'll be fine. .....and now that LibreOffice has been pryed out of Sun/Oracle's hands, there might be hope that it'll get a native Ubuntu GUI rewrite too. Just remember: You can write your app for Ubuntu, or you can write it for Qt, or you can write it using your own weird hacks, but if you do the latter, it's about guaranteed to break whenever any user or distributor tries to do anything innovative.
What about the MASSIVE performance problems this will cause. The opensource drivers are slow, and the proprietary ones don't work. Also, won't this compositing cause a massive drop in performance?
glad to see a big player stepping up and pushing the opensource movement where its needed. I for one don't give a dam if we break compatible, since the outcome will likely be a far more streamlined solution.

Red Raiders get the early jump on Lebanon
Sunday, December 23, 2012
ROCHESTER — Playing catch-us is a lot easier than playing catch-up for the Spaulding High School hockey team.
Spaulding got that one back at the 10:14 mark when Doble fought off a defender in front to make it 3-1.
The Red Raiders went up 4-1 at 4:01 of the third period when Carignan capitalized on a Lebanon turnover in its own end and scored on a wrister from the right circle.
"I think we have times when we're exceptional," George said. "I think there's times when we're selfish. We take individual penalties. We carry the puck a little longer than we should. Part of it is we haven't been really successful in a while and they're still learning how to be consistent. When they get that part I think we'll be a good team."
Both of Lebanon's goals came on the power play, including its second with at 5:23 of the third that made it 4-2.
"We're a young team and we struggled in the first period getting off the bus," said Lebanon coach Gary Smith, whose club has 16 freshmen and sophomores on the roster, "so I think they jumped on us when we weren't really ready to play. Definitely giving up those two early ones hurt but I think they responded well and we finished off the period strong."
Mike Servant (first period) and Tanner Simms (third) scored for the visitors , who were hurt up front in the second period when freshman forward Brendan Kelley was injured and did not return and senior forward Ryan White received a 10-minute misconduct penalty.
Phillips has been the offensive catalyst for the Red Raiders, averaging around two and a half points a game.

Experience Your Best Cozumel Vacation
Famous for its bustling cruise-ship port, Cozumel also sports an alter ego as one of the world's best scuba-diving destinations. And between the extremes lies much more: Families find all-day activities at eco parks like Chancanaab and Punta Sur, foodies savor cosmopolitan and local flavors in downtown San Miguel, and history buffs explore Mayan ruins at San Gervasio.
Let Orbitz help you arrange a Cozumel vacation tailored just for you. Get the inside scoop on the best diving reefs, secluded beach spots, and the best time to go.
Cozumel travel conditions stay fairly consistent year round, but like many Caribbean hotspots, the winter high season brings the mildest weather, biggest crowds and highest prices. Savvy travelers go in the summer during low season (translation: reduced hotel rates) -- and divers and snorkelers take advantage of calm waters. Hurricane season spans from June through November.
Celebrate Mexican holidays like Cinco de Mayo (May 5) and Dia de los Muertos (November 1st and 2nd) on your Cozumel vacation. Another can't-miss is Carnival (think Mexican Mardi Gras) which kicks off right before Lent in late February or early March.
Cozumel has warm weather year round, with average temperatures ranging from 68 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's the perfect weather for a beach destination. Fall is the best time to visit Cozumel if you're looking to save money. If you go during this off season, you'll also be rewarded with fewer crowds. If you go in November, you'll be able to celebrate two major Mexican holidays along with the locals: Day of the Dead on November 1 and the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution on November 20. Both holidays in Cozumel are celebrated with feasts and ceremonies.
Best Beaches
For good sunbathing, hit the natural sandy beaches on the north and south ends of the island, while the rocky beaches near town offer the best nearshore snorkeling.
Off-Strip Shopping
Explore beyond the waterfront jewelry and souvenir shops—San Miguel proper has better deals, especially in the evenings when the cruise-ship crowds have receded.
Downtown Dining
Find food aplenty in San Miguel, from cosmopolitan fine dining fare to late-night walk-ups selling traditional Yucatecan snacks for a song.
Drift Diving
World-famous among scuba divers for its offshore currents, Cozumel offers ripping underwater rides at top-tier dive sites like Tormentos Reef.
A Link to the Past
Find the Temple of the Hands—which bears red-painted palm prints on its walls—among the jungle-cloaked ruins at San Gervasio.
Cozumel at Night
Cozumel really comes alive at night. Take a nap during the day like locals do, so you can live it up after dark.
Stop by Kinta, a favorite restaurant of locals, for delicious, fresh seafood with tons of local flare.
Avenida 30
Pick up lunch to go on Avenida 30, one of the main roads on the island. Treat yourself to a picnic on the beach.
Souvenir Shopping
Avoid the waterfront when shopping for souvenirs. You'll get better prices if you shop along the backstreets.
Cocina con Alma
Learn to cook Mexican food like a pro with this unique cooking class in the old neighborhood of El Centro.

I don't really understand what this HSA is, and what its good for, and what it does, and why I should care.
Phoronix: AMD To Open-Source Its Linux Execution & Compilation Stack
In the discussion last night about AMD not having any plans to suspend their proprietary Linux driver, John Bridgman of AMD shared some interesting information about AMD planning to provide a full execution stack in open-source form...
I don't really understand what this HSA is, and what its good for, and what it does, and why I should care.
Thanks Michael for reacting so quickly!
So it really seems not many people in the open source scene have recognized this?
"the C++ parser front end"
That sounds like the most important part....
Why C++ parser front-end will be proprietary? Couldn't they have used `clang`?
Does this mean that the flgrx is in the future half open source? And only need an Closed Source Userspace?
Looking at slide 29 of the HSA presentation, it looks like the Khronos APIs ( OpenGL, EGL, OpenVG, OpenGL ES, OpenCL etc.) will be implemented in terms of HSA. If that's true, I would take that to mean that a programmer might also be able to program directly with the HSA "language" as well... Or will it be a nice protocol similar to OpenGL et al. The mind runs wild.
As a person who enjoys programming more with memory-managed languages ( Common Lisp!), slide 26 is also very intriguing. I hope some other-than-Java languages can get some HSA love too. Especially, I hope that other languages aren't forced to try to make bindings for a C++ lib.
Looking forward to it.
This is great news! I can't wait to see what comes of this. I was just telling my brother that "fixed-function" hardware is slowly loosing ground to programmable architectures like OpenCL even in the gaming world (with modern AAA game engines using voxel based lighting for real-time radiosity, etc), and that eventually we'll need a more common Open Source API to interface with than what OpenGL/DirectX HLSL/GLSL pipes provide. It looks like AMD has been thinking along this same line, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for AMD and Linux.
I was a bit disappointed with the latest AMD news about dropping Catalyst driver support for my 4870 before 12.4 worked with XOrg 1.12 (and beyond), I was planning on switching over to nVidia with my next computer, but I think AMD's just won back my support for a good long while ;-D

Hi: 10° Lo:4°
By Rob George Friday 04 January 2013 Updated: 11/01 11:00
AN ELEVEN and 12-year-old are among more than 250 children under the age of 16 who have been held overnight in south Worcestershire's police cells over the past three years, according to figures obtained by The Standard.
The two youngsters were held overnight during the past year at police cells in Worcester city centre, according to statistics obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
This year was the first time in at least three years children as young as 11 have been held overnight at the cells, which serve Droitwich and the whole of south Worcestershire, as no recorded cases of 11 and 12-year-olds were found in 2010 and 2011.
But despite the detention of the 11 and 12-year-old this year, the figures show the number of 15 and 16-year-olds being held overnight have actually fallen.
The number of 15-year-olds being detained has dropped from 35 in 2010 to just 17 so far this year while 25 16-year-olds have been held this year compared to 47 in 2010.
The total number of 11 to 16-year-olds held overnight in Worcester fell from 87 in 2010 to 49 so far in 2012 while in Redditch the numbers dropped from 39 in 2010 to 28 this year.
A West Mercia Police spokesman said the fall was encouraging but added the force could not be specific about the reasons for the drop or talk about individual cases.
"All the children would have been arrested for an offence and the decision to detain them and place them into custody would have been taken in line with PACE (Police And Criminal Evidence Act)," he added.
"Juveniles who come into custody have the same rights and entitlements as anyone else but in addition there is a legal requirement for an 'appropriate adult' – for example a family member or guardian – to be present to represent their interests.
"Their rights and entitlement would also include having access to legal advice."
The figures were based on the arrival and departure dates of the children being on different days, where the youngsters were detained for more than five hours and did not include any incidents which started and finished between 6am and 8pm.
The figures backed up a report by The Howard League for Penal Reform charity which revealed the number of children arrested across West Mercia had more than halved in four years.
A total of 66 arrests of youngsters aged 17 or under were made each week on average in 2011, amounting to 3,442 throughout the year, down from 7,580 detainments in 2008.

Welcome to Jost Vineyards
Jost Vineyards is situated on over 100 acres by the beautiful North Shores Sunrise Trail. With the largest and longest operating winery in the Atlantic region, the Jost family pioneered the industry, supporting the majority of today's independent vineyard operations. Their legacy of wine making dates back 400 years to Germany where Josts continue to produce great wines today. Their estate bottled whites, reds and specialties are lovingly crafted in the cellars and are available for sampling, sale and shipping from the winery store. Hike, bike and picnic with spectacular vistas of the vineyards and beautiful beaches of the Northumberland coastline. The area enjoys a mezzo climate with more days of sun than anywhere else in Atlantic Canada. Did we mention the beaches? All the vineyards have benefited from the natural nutrition of the shells of lobsters caught within view of the vineyards. Talk about terroir! Little wonder the wines complement seafood so well. Enjoy local cheeses and other artisan foods with a perfectly paired wine on the licensed terrace and take a winery tour. While they love having guests visit the winery and other wonderful North Shore attractions, if you can't make the drive, Jost wines can be discovered throughout Atlantic Canada in most restaurants, liquor stores and on your favorite neighbor's back deck.

(CNN) — And on the twelfth day, Congress rested.
Despite the continuing government shutdown and the looming debt limit, many members of Congress headed out of town Saturday for the Columbus Day weekend.
The House has adjourned until noon Monday, and while the Senate will convene tomorrow, members are not required to stay in town because no votes are scheduled.
Washington's Reagan National Airport was full of members from both parties fleeing the nation's capital for a couple of days in their home districts.
"It's gonna be a very quick trip," said Sen. Dan Coats, R-Indiana, as CNN caught up with him at the airport. "And it's very disappointing to be going home, having to turn right back around and come back, with no progress being made. I had hoped that we could resolve this thing."
Many said they were going home to see family for a day but could quickly return if there was a vote. In the House, there are no votes scheduled until Monday at 6:30 p.m.
"I'm going home for one day to see my children because there are no votes tomorrow, on Sunday. And that's the only day I'll have with them," Rep. Trent Franks, R-Arizona, told CNN before boarding his flight, adding that he could get back to Capitol Hill within a 12-hour notice of any votes.
The trips come after another deal fell through Saturday morning, with both sides blaming the other. On Friday, Republicans in the House proposed raising the debt ceiling for six weeks, but leadership informed the caucus that President Barack Obama rejected that proposal.
Hours later, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that Sen. Susan Collins' plan also died.
Collins, a Maine Republican, and a bipartisan group of Senators had called for a longer extension of the debt limit and government funding. Her proposal would have repealed the 2.3% tax on medical devices, which is used to help pay for Obamacare, and given federal agencies greater flexibility to deal with the forced spending cuts known as sequestration.
With many Senators and Representatives out of town, no major activity is expected in either chamber.
Leadership on both sides will remain in Washington and continue talks. Reid said he and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are involved in "cordial" and "preliminary" negotiations to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling.
For the hundreds of thousands of furloughed workers, the shutdown is just starting to hit home as the first partial paychecks arrived Friday.
