SponsorAScholar 'assessor' arrested on suspicion of inciting prostitution after students were told their fees would be paid in return for sex
- Girls aged 17 to 24 were offered up to £15,000 a year for 'adventures' with businessmen
- An undercover reporter met a man from the site who invited her for a 'practical assessment'
- Mark Lancaster, 39, has been arrested and material seized from his home
An MoD computer consultant has been arrested on suspicion of working for a website offering to pay students' tuition fees in return for sex.
SponsorAScholar.co.uk promised female students aged 17 to 24 up to £15,000 a year in return for 'discreet adventures' with businessmen in private flats or hotel rooms.
Mark Lancaster, 39, was detained at an address in Milton Keynes and material was seized from there and from his family home in the village of Horndean, near Portsmouth.
'Inciting prostitution': A man thought to be Mark Lancaster, 39, is secretly filmed at a McDonald's in south London, allegedly telling an undercover reporter that she would need to have a 'practical assessment' at a nearby flat
The consultant, who had clearance to work on a major Ministry of Defence computer project, is suspected of inciting prostitution in the growing 'sex-for-fees' scandal.
He was questioned and released on police bail and will return to Charing Cross police station in London in February.
The arrest follows an undercover investigation by The Independent into a man who claimed to be an 'assessor' for the site.
An reporter posing as a
student arranged to meet him for at a
south London McDonald's two weeks ago.
She was told she would have to undergo a 'practical assessment' with him at a nearby flat to demonstrate the level of intimacy she was prepared to show to future 'sponsors', and informed that it would be up to her whether or not she used protection with the men.
The reporter, who secretly filmed the encounter, declined and left. The website has since been taken down.
SponsorAScholar.co.uk used a variety of images of women and glowing testimonials supposedly from satisfied customers.
Sordid: SponsorAScholar.co.uk, which has now been taken down, promised female students aged 17 to 24 up to £15,000 a year in return for 'discreet adventures' with businessmen in private flats or hotel rooms
It claimed 1,400 women had received 'scholarships', but it is not known how many actually contacted the website or whether any money has ever changed hands.
Concerned: Minister for Women Jo Swinson last week urged the police to investigate anyone suspected of taking advantage of students
The website said that most of the sponsors were 'men between the ages of 28 and 50 who run their own successful business and want to have discreet adventures with a student whilst helping them fund their studies through a scholarship'. It even suggested that the sum was tax deductible.
In November, a Channel 4 News undercover reporter attended an interview with the man behind the website in a flat he had rented in south east London.
Although she was told his name was John, the broadcaster believed it was Lancaster.
One student told Channel 4 News that she had the 'practical assessment' and was later told in an email that her application had been unsuccessful - but she could reapply in two months.
The 'assessor' used the name and former address of a top academic at a leading British university in his dealings with potential students. The academic has since contacted the police.
Minister for Women Jo Swinson last week urged the police to investigate anyone suspected of taking advantage of students.
The investigation follows growing concern that rising student fees could be forcing young people into sex work to cover their debt, with experts claiming the site was the 'tip of the iceberg'.
Detective Sergeant Alan Clark urged anyone who had made contact through the website to get in touch with police.
'If anyone has information in relation to the man shown in the film or the photographs or on the website itself, please contact us on 0800 783 2589 and we will get back to you in strict confidence,' he said.
Lancaster was cleared to work on the vast MoD contract known as 'DII' or Defence Information Infrastructure, marrying up the military's various computer networks.

Revival, Resistance, Reformation, Revolution
An Introduction to the Doctrines of Interposition and Nullification
In 1776, a short time after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were assigned to design an official seal for the United States of America. Their proposed motto was Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God. America owes its existence to centuries of Christian political philosophy. Our nation provided a model for liberty copied by nations the world over.
By the 21st century, we need a "Puritan Storm" to sweep away the Hegelian notion that the state is "God walking on earth." We need revival and reformation in full force to vanquish the problems that plague us as a nation — from government controlled healthcare — to abortion on demand — to same sex "marriage." This booklet gives a primer on our founders' Christian idea of government and examines how the doctrine of nullification was woven into the Constitution as a safeguard against federal tyranny. It concludes with the history and theology of civil resistance. A Second American Revolution is coming with the Word of God growing mightily and prevailing! (Acts 19:20).

From the funeral of the late Fra' Andrew Bertie.
Tip o' the hat: Fr. Guy Sylvester
Andrew, I believe your headline here should properly read, "Well Done Thou Good and Faithful Servant," subsituting Thou for Thy as you have it.
Assuming the headline is an intentional paraphrase of Holy Scripture, you will find it in Matthrew 25 in two similar wordings, at verses 21 & 23, as part of the Parable of the Five Talents. Verse 23 however is, Perhaps what you were aiming for.
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (KJV)
The words are important in two ways. First, they they are "dominical" – words of Jesus himself which Matthew records as coming from a scene where Jesus speaks in parables to his disciples outside Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives. Second, the words "thou faithful servant …" are addressed not to God but directly to the servant in the parable who was faithful in his duty to his master. One would assume that would neatly describe the life of Fra Andrew.
The guard of honor (proper term, I hope) are exceptionally well turned out. Any idea from what unit they were drawn? Also, any idea what the blue sash represents?
Mr. Zacher: Thank you for pointing that out; my mind must have been elsewhere!
ODT: The guard of honor were drawn from the Military Corps of the Order of Malta, which is a medical unit of the Italian Army. Officers of the Italian Army wear blue sashes with their uniforms on ceremonial occasions.

This invention relates to a therapeutic pad for external application to the human body for the application of heat or cold to an injured area. The pad of this invention may be heated in a microwave for use as a hot pad or cooled in a freezer for use as a cold pack and the heat transfer medium therein consists entirely of naturally occurring vegetable seeds.
As is well known, hot pads and cold packs have been in use in the treatment of a variety of afflictions for many years. Typically, hot pads have been electrically heated, and therefore involve very serious safety concerns. Care must be undertaken to avoid burning a patient who, for example, lies on the pad. Mobility of the user is restricted by the need to plug the pad into a source of electric energy. Such pads are also typically stiff because of the heating elements therein, and therefore are difficult to conform to specific areas of the human body to be treated.
Cold packs on the other hand typically have involved the use of ice which further requires a sealed container. As the ice melts, invariably the container will leak. Furthermore, as in the case of the electric heating pad, an ice pack does not easily conform to the contours of the human body to be treated.
In recent years, a gel-pack has been marketed which consists of a sealed, flexible container filled with a synthetic gel material which can be either heated in a microwave oven or frozen in the freezer. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,783,866 there is described a pillow with a removable therapeutic gel pack which contains a material marketed under the trademark "BLUE ICE" as the gel material. The patent also notes that prior art devices have used a mixture of starch, water and borax as a heat transfer medium. Similarly, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,865,012, the heat transfer medium described is a thickened saline solution wherein cellose and flour are added to provide the desired consistency. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,829 the heat transfer medium is salt dampened with polypropylene glycol and water so that it is pliable and somewhat mushy. U.S. Pat. No. 4,887,326 describes yet another type of synthetic gel containing cushion.
These prior art devices however have several disadvantages.
Desirably a hot or cold pack would be of particular use in treating arthritis and rheumatism, sprained ankles, sprained wrists and similar afflictions to the extremities. Also, hot packs in particular are useful in treating muscular pain associated with neck or back injuries, and internal conditions including menstrual cramps.
In each of these instances, the hot or cold pack is intended to have intimate contact with the skin surface. It is necessary then that it conforms to the surface configuration and that it has a smooth consistency for the user's comfort. Further, it is preferable to have a heat transfer medium that is not liquid so that if object is inadvertently punctured, leakage will not occur. Finally, it is particularly desirable that the object have substantial bulk density so that it will retain heat for a desired prior of time, or will remain cold likewise for a substantial period of time.
It has been discovered that the above disadvantages can be solved by utilizing a particulate material as the heat transfer medium enclosed within a porous skin and that a highly desirable particulate material is vegetable seeds such as corn, oats, wheat, rice and the like. Also, a U-shaped configuration has been found to be vastly superior in conforming to the contours of the human body.
The seeds contain sufficient moisture so that they can be heated in a microwave or cooled by freezing. The seeds further have sufficient bulk density so that they can be molded to conform to the configuration of a surface and are sufficiently small particles so that they provide a soft texture for the user. The device of this invention then is a pad of, for example, cotton fabric, which contains sterilized vegetable seeds in a preferred mixture. The device of this invention then may be heated in a microwave oven for example for no more than three minutes to provide a hot pad, or placed in a freezer for about six hours to provide a cold pack. The resulting pack can then be applied to the desired portion of the human body and retained by external wrapping. The external surface of course could be enclosed within a plastic sack or skin if desired and the overall device of this invention can have any desired external configuration from that of a pad to that of a "horse collar" for application to the neck area.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a hot or cold pad which is manufactured from entirely naturally occurring materials and which may be easily conformed to the contours of the human body.
It is another object of this invention to provide a pad which can be heated in a microwave oven or cooled in a freezer and which will retain the hot or cold condition for a substantial period of time which is formulated from all natural materials using heat transfer medium of vegetable seeds.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a method for applying hot or cold compresses to the human body which comprises providing a fabric skin containing a mixture of particulate vegetable seeds in a desired volume which object is flexible for conforming to the contours of the human body, subjecting said object to microwave energy or freezing said object in a freezer and then directly applying said object to the involved area of the human body for a predetermined period of time.
These and other objects will become readily apparent with reference to the drawings and the following description wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of this invention applied to the neck area of the human body.
FIG. 2A is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of this invention using Velcro closures;
FIG. 2B is a view of FIG. 2A in a closed position to surround an injured limb.
FIG. 3 is an alternative embodiment of a hand warmer; and
FIG. 4 is an alternative embodiment of a slipper.
With attention to the drawings, there are shown exemplary shapes of the thermal pad of this invention. Typically the U-shaped neck collar 10 of FIG. 1 would be about 22 inches long and about 2 inches thick. The longer pad, FIG. 2 could be 10 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick and the rectangular pad of FIG. 3 could be 8 inches by 10 inches by 3/4 inch thick. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that these dimensions are exemplary only and not intended to limit this invention. The device of this invention, in each instance, is a fabric cover stuffed with vegetable seeds in particular with selected sterilized cereal grains. Preferably the outer cover is made of cotton but other fabric could be used. Most importantly however the cereal grains used as stuffing are sterilized and completely fill the outer cover.
In the preferred embodiment, the grains used are sterilized Avena Sativa, Triticum, Zea Mays Rugosa; oats, wheat, and corn. In the preferred embodiment the product is primarily oats and can be up to about 95%. Preferably about 5% or slightly less wheat is added and a trace is corn. Corn is not essential, but may often be present in other cereal grains such as wheat. The total weight of the neck pad of FIG. 1 is about two pounds. It would be also within the scope of this invention to stuff the article of this invention with 100% oats, but the addition of wheat has been found to facilitate softness and ease of distribution when the article is configured about a portion of the human anatomy especially in the shape 10 of FIG. 1.
It is preferred if the article of this invention is to be heated, to use a microwave oven because of the speed at which the heat transfer medium, cereal grain, acquires the desired temperature. For example, with the pads of FIGS. 2-4, it is normally suggested that the pad be heated from 90 to a 120 seconds and that the pad then be checked for surface temperature. The pad should never be heated in a microwave oven more than three minutes, and, obviously, should always be handled carefully. Table I below illustrates the heat retention capability of the pads of this invention when heated in a microwave oven.

The thermal pad of this invention should not be left in a microwave beyond three minutes and if left for about 12 minutes will burst into flame.
If a microwave oven is not available a conventional oven preheated to 250� F. will suffice. When using a conventional oven, the pad of this invention should be placed in a glass or metallic container without touching any wall or electric element of the oven. The object should be heated then for 20 minutes and if not warm enough reheated at 250� F. for additional 15 minute increments. Table II below illustrates the heat retention capability for the article of this invention when heated in a convention oven.

In both instances when the product is heated in a microwave or in a conventional oven, the product should then be applied to the localized area. If the pad seems to loose its heat it should be shaken and then reapplied.
The pad also can be used as a cold pack and in that instance should be stored in a freezer in a plastic bag for about six hours. After freezing, the pad should applied in the conventional manner to the area of the human anatomy to be treated.
It is important to note that a pad which has been cooled in the freezer should not be placed directly into an oven or a microwave until it has completely thawed to room temperature. This may take at least about six hours. When the pad of this invention is not in use, it should be stored in a cool dry place in order to preserve the cereal grains therein.
As will be obvious to those skilled in the art, after a period of time wherein the heat transfer media, i.e., cereal grain, has been repeatedly heated and/or frozen, the pad may loose its ability to retain heat with its original efficiency. Because the product is entirely natural however it can be discarded without pollution considerations and is completely nontoxic.
While the outer covering of the device of this invention is preferably a cotton fabric, if desired a washable additional outer covering may be used as desired.
Alternate designs for the device of this invention include, as shown in FIGS. 2-4, a relatively flat member 12 which uses Velcro fasteners 14 so that it may be used to encircle an injured limb such as a knee as shown in FIG. 2B. Preferably the design is not a flat pad but rather a plurality of interconnected cylinders 16, each of which contain cereal grains according to this invention.
In addition, the device of this invention may be configured as a hand warmer 18 or a slipper 20 or, in fact, any other, conventional design as will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
In summary, it has been discovered that a completely natural thermal pad can be provided which can function either as a hot or a cold pad in therapeutic application to selected portions of the human anatomy. The pad in this instance then is useful for treating a variety of maladies including rheumatism and arthritis, sprained ankles, pulled muscles, and the like. Furthermore, the device of this invention is provided in a U-shaped configuration to facilitate its application to the involved area of the human anatomy to be treated.
The device of this invention preferably is a cotton fabric covering in the desired shaped which is filled with sterilized vegetable seeds and most preferably cereal grains which are predominately oats. It has been found that particulate cereal grains are most desirable in that the product retains its bulk density while having a soft and resilient feeling and more than adequately functions as a heat transfer over extended periods of time to either supply heat to an area to be treated, or cold.

School officials in the Glendale-River Hills district discussed the complexity of crafting a 2012-13 budget at a meeting Monday.
At the moment, the district has cash reserves in the fund balance hovering around 7.17 percent, and District Administrator Larry Smalley suggested increasing the amount to about 9.8 percent of the total budget in the upcoming school year.
School districts and municipalities with lower fund balances can be affected adversely with lower bond ratings which, in turn, can create difficulty borrowing money in the future. Cash reserves also are beneficial in the event of an unanticipated expense.
But the School Board and administrators are weighing other issues, including staff salary increases, health care contributions and other benefit costs. A proposal also is on the table to add a section in next year's fourth-grade class because of an anticipated swell in enrollment.
The district's budget building process will continue for several months. The board will act on a draft version of the budget in July, in advance of a public hearing in August.

White House press secretary Jay Carney steps down
PHOENIX — White House press secretary Jay Carney stepped down from his office on Friday.
In a press conference, President Barack Obama called Carney a "trusted friend and adviser," though he does not know the next step in Carney's career.
Carney said he will step down about mid-June.
"I haven't made any decisions yet," he told the assembled media.
Carney's replacement, Josh Earnest, has served Obama as the principal deputy press secretary.
Carney's resignation comes on the back of the resignation of former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki, who was embattled by scandal over the past few months.

Life is a little different here at Prana del Mar. Several characteristics make us a unique and special place to go on retreat. First of all, though we are an easy hour's drive from the Los Cabos International airport and only 15 minutes from the edge of Cabo San Lucas, we are off-the-beaten-path at a nearly-deserted beach. The sense of tranquility and spaciousness here makes our location ideal for self-reflection and exploration.
We are also completely off-grid – with no power lines, water lines, or telephone lines within miles of our property. This means we generate our own electricity from solar panels, get water from our own well, and live life a little more in tune with the rhythms of nature. Conservation and stewardship for our environment is central to our ethos and is reflected in all facets of our approach.
To get more acquainted with our yoga retreat center, we hope you'll peruse our website and consult our page of frequently asked questions if you're searching for something specific. We've also included a page with links to sites with more info about Baja, local towns, weather, surf reports, and more. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact us – we'd love to hear from you.
Of course, we also have lots of photos in our gallery section. Start envisioning yourself here on retreat!

Implications - Nike is a company whose product was hijacked by consumers and given a life of its own. Though the company began with the intention of specifically serving athletes, it was eventually taken over by the urban population and thus, has become an iconic symbol of urban fashion for many.

Investors continued to punish troubled hedge fund RAB Capital in the first half, pulling tens of millions of dollars from its fund to widen its pre-tax loss.
The London-based firm said its loss for the first six months of the year grew by 22%, from £2.7 million in the first half of last year to £3.3 million this year. RAB's assets under management also dropped, erasing gains made in the second half of last year. Client withdrawals of US$63 million from restructured funds helped push the firm's assets under management down 7% in the first half to US$1.26 billion. In addition, RAB's flagship Special Situations funds continued to post losses, and a European bank yanked its investment in the firm's funds of hedge funds.
Just two-and-a-half years ago, RAB managed more than US$7 billion.
"It has been a tough start to the year, with volatile markets impacting on investor allocation decisions, particularly for equity products," CEO Stephen Couttie said. "However, a combination of some compelling investment opportunities in RAB funds, fund performance, and the early signs of improving investor appetite mean that we remain positive about the outlook for new asset gathering."
Revenue at RAB dropped by more than a quarter to £5.67 million, as management fees dropped by more than £800 million and performance fees totaled just £486,000. Its net loss grew by 14% to £2.34 million.
Amidst its reduced circumstances, RAB also announced that it would cut its first-half dividend to just £0.10, from £0.60 in the first half of last year and £0.50 in the second half.

It's safe to say, looking at who Donald Trump is turning to now, that it's unlikely there will be any progress on LGBT rights -- and would likely be great harm to them -- under a Trump presidency.
Americans want to know what the candidate most likely to become President actually believes about the topic Americans consider far and away the most important. And now we're there.
Bernie is the strongest candidate. Nevertheless, Hillary supporters refuse to accept this data. They are dead certain that Bernie would lose because America will never elect a socialist. They are sure (maybe a less so) that Hillary is the battle-tested warrior who will bring Trump to his knees.
In the heat of a Presidential election season and in light of a media that earns ratings by focusing on our divisions, we can forget that we are the United States of America. Although we may disagree among ourselves on many matters, some important concerns unite us. One of those unifying subjects is our Social Security system.
Hillary is not going to be able beat Donald Trump by attacking his weaknesses. She will only be able to beat Donald Trump by converting his strengths into questions and concerns. This is harder to do than it sounds, but it's the necessary work that needs to be done if the Clinton campaign is serious about winning the presidential race.
I'll write and work and vote for Hillary Clinton against Trump this fall, but not because I've been told that corporate money in elections and the marketization of everything aren't dissolving our citizenship and democracy
If the Republican Party wishes to regain any of the respect it once had, you'll have to join the 21st century and recognize we are a diverse nation. The idea here is compromise. Conservatives and liberals must find a way to coexist.
In a new two-part podcast, I talk to Princeton professor Eddie Glaude, Jr., author of Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul, called "one of the most daring books of the 21st century," a "book for the ages," "bracing" and "unrelenting."
Amidst the vitriol and lies being thrown around about trans people, I worry that a few basic principles have been lost. Here are five things to remember when talking, writing, or thinking about trans people.
In 1961, President Kennedy's Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Newton Minow described television as "a vast wasteland." Perhaps nothing demonstrates that better these days than the rise of Donald J. Trump as a presidential candidate.
Pandering to those working in the fossil fuel industry with false promises of sustainability isn't the solution. We need honest answers and clear explanations from our politicians.
As we celebrate mothers and grandmothers, foster mothers, and all those who step in to parent children in need, let's pledge to take responsibility not only for our own children and grandchildren but for all children, or at least for one child who may not be our own.
There's a pile of money hiding offshore. The stunning amount that continues to flow across American borders (and those of other countries), and eventually disappears into the pockets of the corporate and political elite, ultimately causes even more damage to our finances and our lives.
Now that Ted Cruz and John Kasich have dropped out of the race and Donald Trump is the "presumptive nominee," it's likely we'll see the GOP Establishment pretend to be rallying behind Trump while in reality helping him very little.
"The people are being reduced to blood and dust. They are in pieces."
As an American living abroad I see first hand that for the United States to become a true force for good around the world, the Democratic Party must lead the charge in fighting against an American chauvinism that puts little value on the lives of people who are innocent bystanders to our supposed economic and military interests.
If Trump really loves women and is serious about getting their votes, let us hear his plan to fix a system that doesn't work for moms. The majority of mothers, like fathers, now work outside the home -- they need the money to support their families.
This is one of the rare occasions where the love of charters and the disinterest in teachers is right there under the President's name and not, say, a Secretary of Education. Public school teachers -- take your week of weak praise and get back to finishing the work you haven't done yet.
It is now official. Seventeen candidates ran for the Republican presidential nomination, and the sixteenth of these just suspended his campaign. This leaves Donald Trump as the last man standing.

Staff Report
MONTEZUMA -- The Northview Knights jumped out to a comfortable lead early against Riverton Parke on the way to a 45-30 road win on Tuesday night.
The Knights allowed just seven first half points while building a 22-7 advantage, but coach LuAnne Anderson wasn't exactly thrilled with the results after the break.
"This was a very ugly game for us tonight," said Anderson. "We never seemed to get our intensity level to where it needed to be. We again, jumped out to a nice start and then dropped off as the game progressed.
One area where Anderson did see positives was in a defense that forced a large number of Panther turnovers.
"Our defense did a nice job on the press, forcing Riverton Parke into 27 turnovers for the game."
The Knights also got a 14-point, 13 rebound game from Spring Raines with Kirstin Kimball adding seven points along with Carlee Bell.
Though they only got to the line 15 times in the game, Anderson was also pleased with her team's shooting from the charity stripe.
"Our team free throw percentage was much improved compared to last game," said the first-year Knights' coach.
"We have two really tough opponents coming up this week in Mooresville and Terre Haute South. We need to focus on composure and handling pressure," said Anderson of the Knights' next two opponents.
Northview (2-1 overall) hosts Mooresville on Thursday night beginning with a 6 p.m. JV game.
