Catholic schools must give 'balanced perspective' on gay 'marriage': Welsh education minister
CARDIFF, May 11, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An anti-Christian lobby group is cheering the Welsh government this week, after the education minister threatened Catholic Schools for having asked students to oppose the government's gay "marriage" plans.
Catholic schools in Wales have been instructed in a letter from Welsh education minister Leighton Andrews to ensure that on the subject of same-sex "marriage," students are "made aware of the converse view in order to give them a balanced perspective."
At issue is a letter sent by the Catholic Education Society (CES) to 385 secondary schools in England and Wales alerting students to a letter from bishops opposing the redefinition of marriage to include homosexual partnerings. Students and staff were asked to consider signing a petition being circulated by the Coalition for Marriage, to maintain the traditional definition in the law.
The bishops' letter was read publicly from the pulpits of Catholic churches throughout England and Wales in March, but Andrews said that asking the students and staff of schools to consider signing a petition supporting traditional marriage could be a violation of the Education Act that forbids direct political campaigning in schools.
Click "like" if you want to defend true marriage.
Andrews said he took legal advice and was told "the Archbishops' letter merely expressed support for preserving the current legal situation and did not contain homophobic statements."
"I am advised that the correspondence and related actions of the CES do not breach the Act. Whilst schools are free to employ the materials provided as suggested, it is incumbent on them to do so in a balanced way."
"Whilst the on-line petition is not directly related to a party political matter it could be seen as relating to political matters generally as the petition seeks to lobby the current Westminster Government to prevent a change in the law."
Andrews also said it was "unfortunate" that the CES had failed to make clear that only students over 16 were eligible to sign the Coalition for Marriage petition. The CES has since re-written its material to clarify the point.
Andrews' statement comes in response to a complaint made by the anti-Christian campaign group the National Secular Society who wrote to Andrews and to national education secretary Michael Gove. The NSS said they received an immediate response from Nick Gibb, the Minister of State for Schools at Westminster, who said that the education department is "taking the matter seriously."
Andrews wrote to the NSS, saying, "Opposing a proposed change in the law could itself be considered to be a political act. I have therefore written to all the Roman Catholic secondary schools in Wales reminding headteachers and governing bodies of their duty and responsibilities."
Under the Education Act 1996, schools must "take whatever reasonably practical steps are necessary to ensure that where political issues are brought to the attention of pupils they are offered a balanced presentation of opposing views."

Please, enough with the cult of pop stars. Our kids need real heroes.
April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Two things happen each time a significant pop culture figure dies: Christians attempt to dredge up some moderately conservative or traditional thing that figure said at some point during his long career, and mainstream media attempts to convince a society thoroughly bored with such things that the person in question was a ground-breaking radical. The two most recent examples are the androgynous David Bowie—a cringe-worthy and possibly blasphemous video of him dropping to his knees during a rock performance and uttering the Lord's Prayer circulated just following his death--and the pop star Prince.
I've had to suppress my gag reflexes many times as I saw my Facebook newsfeed fill up with memes sporting quotes from Prince about his faith and articles announcing that the musician who "embraced gender fluidity before his time," according to Slate and "will always be a gay icon" according to The Atlantic, was against gay marriage. Sure, maybe he was. But only a Christian community so shell-shocked by the rapid spread of the rainbow blitzkrieg and the catastrophic erosion of religious liberty would find this remarkable. After all, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton said the same thing barely one election cycle ago. As one obituary celebrating Prince's paradigm-smashing sexual performances written by Dodai Stewart put it:
Dig, if you will, a picture: The year is 1980. Many states still have sodomy laws. The radio is playing feel-good ear candy like Captain and Tennille and KC and the Sunshine Band. TV hits include the sunny, toothy blond shows Three's Company and Happy Days. There's no real word for "gender non-conforming." But here's what you see: A man. Clearly a man. Hairy, mostly naked body…a satiny bikini bottom. But those eyes. Rimmed in black, like a fantasy belly dancer. The full, pouty lips of a pin-up girl. Long hair. A tiny, svelte thing. Ethnically ambiguous, radiating lust. What is this? A man. Clearly a man. No. Not just a man. A Prince.
Right. So let's not get too carried away, shall we? I know Christians are desperate to justify their addictions to the pop culture trash that did so much to sweep away Christian values in the first place and I know that latching on to the occasional stray conservative belief that may manifest itself in pop culture figures makes many feel as if perhaps we are not so weird and countercultural, but this bad habit we have of claiming these figures upon their passing is downright damaging.
After all, parents should be teaching their children about real heroes, titans of the faith who changed the world. Heroes of the early church who stood down tyrants, halted gladiatorial combat, and crusaded against injustice in a world where death was all the rage. These men and women were real rebels who stood for real values. If we want to point our children to people they should emulate, we should be handing them books like Seven Men: And the Secret of Their Greatness by the brilliant writer Eric Metaxas rather than the pop albums Purple Rain or Lovesexy by Prince. If parents spend their time glorifying the predecessors of Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus instead of highlighting heroes like William Wilberforce, they can hardly be surprised when their children choose to emulate the former rather than the latter.
The mainstream media's adulation of these pop stars is equally irritating. The unspoken truth of these obituaries is that the flamboyant antics of Prince and the rest of the so-called rebellious drag queens populating the rock n' roll scene have been mainstream for a long time already. Want to see dozens of bizarre body piercings? Weird hairdos? Purple mohawks? Dudes with nail polish? Strange tattoos? Easy. Just go onto any university campus, or any public high school without a dress code. With headphones wedged firmly in their ear canals, they can pump the cleverly commercialized "counterculture" straight into their skulls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
More than that, some of these courageous rebels have actually sued their employers to ensure that they can let their establishment-smashing freak flag fly at work, too. An Edmonton woman with 22 visible body piercings complained that her employer was unfair because apparently she was being discriminated against "based on body modifications." Yeah! The Man must be told, after all. And if he doesn't agree, we will lawyer up. I wonder what the shrieking rebels of the early days would think about the snivelling children of the current grievance culture.
So these days, the media's eulogizing about aging culture warriors who went mainstream a long time ago rings a bit hollow. After all, most rock n' roll stars these days look tame compared to what shows up in the children's section at Pride Week. Freaky is normal now. Normal is radical. Welcome to 2016.
When Christians are posting nostalgic tributes to the rebels who helped inoculate their children against the radical views of Christianity in the first place, you know that the victories of the counterculture are complete and Stockholm syndrome has set in.

Target boycott climbs to over 1 million
April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Over 1 million people have signed a pledge to boycott Target over its new policy allowing men to access women's bathrooms.
The American Family Association's Boycott Target petition gained traction immediately, reaching the one million mark in only nine days.
"Corporate America must stop bullying people who disagree with the radical left agenda to remake society into their progressive image," said AFA President Tim Wildmon. "#BoycottTarget has resonated with Americans. Target's harmful policy poses a danger to women and children; nearly everyone has a mother, wife, daughter or friend who is put in jeopardy by this policy. Predators and voyeurs would take advantage of the policy to prey on those who are vulnerable. And it's clear now that over one million customers agree."
Target defended its policy in a statement saying that it believes everyone "deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally" and earlier this week, a Target spokeswoman defended the policy as "inclusive."
The AFA said that unisex bathrooms are a common-sense alternative to allowing men unfettered access to women's bathrooms.
"Target should keep separate facilities for men and women, but for the trans community and for those who simply like using the bathroom alone, a single occupancy unisex option should be provided," the petition says.
The AFA warned that Target's new policy benefits sexual predators and poses a danger to women and children.
"With Target publicly boasting that men can enter women's bathrooms, where do you think predators are going to go?" the petition asked.
There have been numerous instances of predatory men accessing women's bathrooms and intimate facilities in the wake of "transgender" bathroom policies allowing them to do so.
"We want to make it very clear that AFA does not believe the transgender community poses this danger to the wider public," said Wildmon. "Rather, this misguided and reckless policy provides a possible gateway for predators who are out there."

Amazing new video captures the flash of light the moment life begins
CHICAGO, April 29, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Life begins with a spark – literally.
Researchers at Northwestern University have documented the striking event in a new video that accompanies a study published this week.
At the moment of conception, the egg releases massive amounts of zinc, which creates a spark that can be seen with the aid of a microscope.
"It was remarkable," said Teresa Woodruff, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University's medical school. "To see the zinc radiate out in a burst from each human egg was breathtaking."
The research team had noted the zinc sparks before in mice eggs but had never observed the process in human beings.
"All of biology starts at the time of fertilization," Woodruff said, "yet we know next to nothing about the events that occur in the human."
One of the researchers, Northwestern chemistry professor Thomas O'Halloran, explained the science behind the process in 2014.
"The egg first has to stockpile zinc and then must release some of the zinc to successfully navigate maturation, fertilization and the start of embryogenesis," he said. "On cue, at the time of fertilization, we see the egg release thousands of packages, each dumping a million zinc atoms, and then it's quiet."
"Each egg has four or five of these periodic sparks," O'Halloran said. "It is beautiful to see, orchestrated much like a symphony."
Since the amount of zinc in an egg correlates with successful implantation and birth, the Northwestern researchers are highlighting that their research may be used to assist in vitro fertilization.
But that raises concerns given the grave moral issues with IVF, which involves creating numerous embryos that are either killed or frozen. Moral theologians also emphasize that IVF is an injustice even for the children who are born as a result, as they are created in a lab rather than in the union of man and woman.
The study may have far-reaching consequences the research team did not intend, such as strengthening public belief in the longstanding scientific consensus that life begins at the moment of conception/fertilization.
Many of those who saw the Northwestern video said it testifies to the beauty of life and the shallow lies that buttress the argument of abortion-on-demand.
"I saw this, and I was blown away by it," said Rush Limbaugh on his nationally syndicated radio program Thursday afternoon. "For anybody in the mainstream media to openly admit that life begins at conception" defies arguments that an unborn child is only "tissue mass."
Researchers released a separate video of the zinc spark taking place in a mammalian egg more than a year ago:
The paper, which is entitled "The Zinc Spark is an Inorganic Signature of Human Egg Activation," was published by Scientific Reports on April 26.

Investors advised to buy Apple stock after 'insanely insane' selloffAfter eight weeks of Apple's plummeting value, one analyst believes the selloff has reached a point of being "insanely insane."
Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets is baffled by the sharp selloff of Apple stock during the company's strongest quarter of the year. In the latest downturn, the company's value is off 28 percent from its peak in September.
He noted that Apple has delivered annual growth that is 13-fold greater than the S&P 500 over the last eight years. Despite this, Apple trades at a 20 percent price-to-earnings ratio discount when compared to the S&P 500.
"While we don't expect Apple to grow (earnings per share) by 92% per annum over the next five years, we believe 20-30% growth is reasonable based on the company' slow market share in mobile phones and PCs, combined with growth opportunities in tablets and new potential areas such as Apple TV," White wrote in a note to investors on Monday.
Apple stock price over the last three months, via Yahoo Finance.
Apple had $121.3 billion in cash at the end of its fiscal year 2012, amounting to nearly $128 per share, or 24 percent of the company's stock price. Even if Apple decides to pay out a higher dividend to investors, White believes Apple will still hold nearly $204 billion in net cash by the end of fiscal 2014, which would amount to $212 per share or 40 percent of the current stock price.
"As such, the dividends that Apple can afford to pay out in the future are significant," White said, "and there is no reason why Apple should not currently be paying out at least a 3-4% dividend yield (or $16-$21 per share) versus the current 2% yield (or $10.60 per share)."
Despite recent losses, Topeka Capital Markets is standing by its $1,111 12-month price target for AAPL stock.
On Topic: Investor
- Apple buybacks to resume on Friday, gobbling up stock priced near the lowest of 2016
- Citing concerns in China, activist investor Carl Icahn no longer owns shares of Apple
- Apple R&D spending jumps to $2.5B in Q2, accounted for 5% of total revenue
- Wall Street remains optimistic about 'iPhone 7' & Apple's 2017 after Q2 declines

'Jury still out' on Mike Hesson
Relevant offers
Is Mike Hesson doing a good job?
The jury is still out on Mike Hesson's coaching.
We're doing very well at present but I hope Hesson and the other selectors don't fall in to the trap of sitting on their backsides while certain members of the team continue to fail.
The philosophy of not changing a winning team has little merit in an individualised sport like cricket.
New Zealand clearly has a problem with three members of the team. Hamish Rutherford and Peter Fulton are not up to it as openers, so one has to assume the selectors don't see any viable alternatives.
Why not try Jessie Ryder and Tom Latham at the top of the order? Maybe Jessie Ryder's latest 'slip-up' wouldn't have happened if he had been playing in the first test against India?
Ish Sodi, despite his promise, is clearly out of his depth at present.
With spin bowling, it is possible that there are no viable alternatives. Nathan McCullum is not considered good enough for test cricket and there is an argument that Kane Williamson is the best test-bowling spinner available. I am sure he would be amused and probably a bit embarrassed by such a suggestion.
This is a tough call for the selectors. Should they persist with Sodi when he is likely to be an expensive fourth bowler for a considerable period to come?
The jury should also still out over Neil Wagner, despite his first test success. No-one is denying his enthusiasm, work-ethic and dedication, but is he really a long-term prospect as the third seamer? He has a major physical disadvantage, his lack of height, which no amount of energy or hard-work can overcome.
This is an area where we do have a number of viable alternatives, such as Mitchell McClenaghan and Matt Henry. I'm afraid I can't include Hamish Bennett in this list. As a fast-bowling purist, I cringe every-time I see him bowl with his ungainly action.
This discussion is about Mike Hesson's contribution as coach of the BlackCaps, but this is hard to judge by an outsider looking in. Regrettably, a coach can only be judged from the outside by the quality of the results their team achieves and by the success of the individuals chosen for the team.
With the few exceptions noted above, Mike Hesson is performing well at present.

Arizona Diamondbacks Swept by Padres, First Time in Franchise History
Well, there's a first time for everything. Unfortunately for the Dbacks, this first -- the Padres' first three-game sweep at Chase Field in franchise history -- wasn't so fun.
The D-Backs fell to the Padres 8-6 Wednesday night in front of a disgruntled sold-out crowd of 46,819. It was the first sold-out game at Chase since the season opener and the D-Backs' fifth straight loss. They now find themselves three games below the .500 mark and a week out from the All-Star break.
The NL West slips farther and farther out of reach.
Offensively Jason Kubel carried the drive, starting of strong with a three run homer in the bottom of the first. With the Padres scoring once in their first at bat, Kubel gave the Dbacks their first and only lead in the entire series. He continues the hot streak he started back in June when he hit 27 RBIs. So far this month he's already driven in eight. It's been one of the few bright lights in the rather bleak few weeks of play for the team.

This was his 13th home run of the season; Tuesday he hit his eighth career grand slam.
On the other side of things, Justin Upton struggled both offensively (0-5) and defensively. He got close to the two-run pinch-hit homer Yasmani Grandal blasted over the right field wall in the eighth, but not close enough.
After Kubel's home run the Dbacks remained scoreless until the seventh while the Padres put up single runs in the both the third and fourth innings. In the top of the seventh, the Padres' Alexi Amarista brought home Chris Denforia on a single to center. Later that inning Gerardo Parra stole to second and scored thanks to Willie Bloomquist's single to tie the game. Aaron Hill missed a home run to left field by a foot but ended up striking out.
In the eighth relief pitcher David Hernandez chalked up two outs quite quickly but hit Logan Forsyth, which gave Grandal the at-bat to score what would essentially become the game winning homerun.
Both teams put up two more in the ninth, but even the Dback's mini-rally (namely Stephen Drew's pinch-hit RBI double) couldn't turn the tide.
The next game will pit Wade Miley (9-4) against The Dodger's Nathan Eovaldi (0-5) at Chase Field. First pitch at 6:40. TV: Fox Sports Arizona. Radio: KTAR 620 AM.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Minnesota Dental Association (MDA) supports the findings of a long-awaited report from the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) on dental access and reimbursement. The report was directed by the 2013 Minnesota Legislature in response to reduced patient participation in Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP).
The report discussed in great detail the barriers faced by dental providers serving MHCP patients. Most notably, the report concluded that low reimbursement rates and administrative complexity put an immense strain on the ability of providers to deliver oral health care services to public program patients. The report noted, for instance, that in 2010 less than half (47 percent) of adult MHCP participants had visited a dentist in the last year. Of even greater concern, the utilization rates for children has been decreasing over the past three years, dropping from 37 percent to 28 percent for those receiving preventive dental services; dental treatment rates dropped from 19 to 14 percent in the same period.
The MDA supports key recommendations in the report, namely:
- The legislature should increase base payment rates for dental services and refine the payment structure to encourage provider participation
- The state should increase efforts to support a comprehensive adult dental benefit set
- The state should adopt elements establishing a single administrator model for the administration of dental benefits under the Medicaid program. Such models have been successful in other states to help reduce complexity and reduce fraud/abuse
"The MDA commends DHS for this comprehensive and insightful review of the barriers faced by MHCP patients and their providers," stated Dr. Michael Perpich, MDA President. "The biggest issue in Minnesota has always been a broken government system, with inadequate funding to care for public program patients. Minnesota remains one of the lowest states in the nation, with a 30% reimbursement rate to dental providers."
The MDA looks forward to working with stakeholders, the legislature, and DHS to enact these recommendations, which will help create and maintain an effective oral health delivery system.
The Minnesota Dental Association is the voice of dentistry in Minnesota, representing 77% of practicing dentists. It is committed to the highest standards of oral health and access to care for all Minnesotans. Learn more at: www.mndental.org

Facebook's search box could become home to a new form of advertising known as Sponsored Results.
The ads would appear alongside Facebook's organic results when users conduct searches for specific pages or places (rather than keywords, ala Google AdWords) on the social network. No word yet on if or when the ads will launch to a larger audience.
Testing began last week. Ads will be sold on a cost-per-click basis and will only appear in Facebook's search typeahead, not on a search results page.
TechCrunch was first to report the Sponsored Results test. Facebook later confirmed its existence.
"We are currently testing a feature that surfaces sponsored results along with the organic results when people are looking for things on Facebook," according to a Facebook spokesperson. "We try to show people apps and pages they'll be most interested in."
News of the new ads has some speculating whether this will hurt the relevance of Facebook's search results. Others have noted that Facebook search is more targeted toward finding specific people, places, or apps, whereas Google search is more about discovery.
This article was originally published on http://searchenginewatch.com/sew/news/2193976/facebook-tests-sponsored-results-in-search-bar.

every once in a while the Sony Retail site hooks me up with a few voucher codes....so the next time they offer something up, i'll definitely hook you up and anyone else who is interested.
They lately it's been a few minor things like beta codes for Journey or some PS Home clothing items but they once gave me codes for LBP 1's Pirates DLC content and the very amazing Uncharted 2 Super Voucher that pretty much gave people like me who bought the original version all of the DLC contents added into the GOTY version.
Thanks so much Kane112 :D, redeemed it and downloading now!
Hey, Kane. Was wondering if you had any spare codes, I think it's awesome that you're giving them out, and I'd love to get a piece of 'dat. Thank's in advance
little known fact I just acquired AC so if we're still doing this then yes I too would be thankful for a code.

Video: Ariz. police take down resisting suspect as crowd heckles
Police in Mesa subdued and arrested a resisting suspect as an unsupportive crowd yelled to stop
By PoliceOne Staff
MESA, Ariz. — A video that surfaced on YouTube Saturday shows an officer arrest a suspect as onlookers heckle police.
Video taken from a bystander shows a Mesa cop and a suspect get into an altercation and then go around a corner off-camera.
A loud screeching noise can be heard from another responding officer who allegedly got into an accident as he approached the scene, according to AZ Central.
Once on the ground, an officer uses an ECD on the suspect, who appears to still be resisting arrest.
Two officers and a third man — who appears to be a security guard — hold him down as a crowd of bystanders ask why they're using force.
Mesa Sgt. Tony Landato said the officer followed procedure when the suspect resisted arrest.
A Mesa spokesman agreed the video showed no signs outside of protocol, according to the article.

An expectant mother who was locked out of Middlemore Hospital nearly had to give birth while leaning against a rubbish bin.
Kym Pivac and her husband Luke were left standing in the rain outside the maternity ward in the early hours of September 27.
The Papatoetoe residents arrived at the hospital at 2.17am and were staggered to find the maternity ward's doors locked.
They could see a security guard sitting inside the foyer reading a newspaper. By then the baby's head was halfway out and Kym was starting to push.
"I remember pushing and thinking 'Please don't come out'. I can still see what was in the rubbish bin," she says.
They waited for the security guard to open the doors but Luke eventually had to bang "quite loudly" to get his attention.
"This is forever etched in my mind. It's how I remember the birth of my only daughter and it's disgusting to associate that with a rubbish bin," he says.
They made it into the foyer at 2.25am and were left while the guard went to get help and nurses arrived with a wheelchair.
Little Elina Catherine was born at 2.44am as soon as Kym got on the maternity ward bed.
The Pivacs laid an official complaint with the hospital after the birth.
They say security guards should not be left in charge of seeing patients into the hospital because they are not medically trained.
Acting director of hospital services Nettie Knetsch wrote to the couple and apologised for the incident.
She says the security guard was spoken to "to remind him of our expectations and the impact of his actions on people's experience".
The lighting was checked and additional lights installed at the maternity ward entrance.
Counties Manukau Health chief medical officer Gloria Johnson says pregnant women are told to go to the maternity ward entrance where a security guard is on duty overnight.
Normally women are admitted immediately and the guard will let doctors know of their arrival, Dr Johnson says.
"Most hospitals in New Zealand have similar arrangements for after-hours access to the birthing suites.
"In this case the guard did not quite follow procedure in that he called the obstetric team before admitting the patient," she says.
Dr Johnson says the best place for a woman to give birth is in the birthing unit but staff won't refuse entry to the emergency department.
The couple also sent a letter to Health Minister Tony Ryall whose office responded saying a ministry official had contacted Counties Manukau District Health Board. The official has told the couple the board is carrying out a full investigation.

Prize-winning expert delivers talk on bistatic radar
AF Harvey Prize winner Professor Hugh Griffiths will deliver a talk on the future of bistatic radar systems
A top radar scientist will deliver a talk on how his work is helping improve air traffic control and border monitoring systems.
Professor Hugh Griffiths, the winner of the Institution of Engineering and Technology's (IET) AF Harvey Prize, will outline his research at a special lecture tomorrow at the IET's Savoy Place venue in central London.
The prize is awarded annually to an exceptional individual researcher for their achievements and promising future research and Griffiths was chosen from candidates from across the world to win £300,000 to continue his research, which aims to make major improvements in bistatic radar and its applications.
Griffiths says that whilst radar is often considered a mature subject with relatively little new to be achieved, in fact the reality is the opposite.
"Modern technology, especially digital processing power, is opening up new possibilities, and there are plenty of new applications that are likely to benefit", he says.
"One aspect of this is bistatic radar, where the transmitter and receiver are in different locations. This introduces some complications, but also some benefits. It can form the basis of lower cost systems; allows radars that exploit broadcast or communications transmissions as radar signals. This technique is known as Passive Bistatic Radar."
Techniques being explored by Griffiths, of University College London, could result in radar systems that are extremely difficult to jam because the enemy does not know where half of the radar actually is.
Contemporary radars bounce electromagnetic pulses off targets and pick up the reflections with antennas at the same site, but there is no need to put the transmitter and receiver in the same place.
Griffiths says some radar techniques that have been around almost from the technologies very beginning can provide the impetus for a new generation of radar systems by doing things conventional radar systems cannot.
One further advantage is that, by removing the power-hungry transmitter from the receiver, it is possible to make the sensor-end of the radar more mobile.
"We are very interested in using UAVs now and bistatic operation is very compatible with all that," he says.
Griffiths says that by using more diverse signals, it is possible to home in on targets designed to evade traditional methods and avoid jamming signals.
One issue that today's radar systems have is that they are constrained in the frequencies they can use, but an option being explored is building radar systems that sniff the airwaves to dynamically adjust to use pieces of unused spectrum. Even regular TV and radio signals could be adjusted to make them compatible with radar.
"Everyone wants more bandwidth, but it's increasingly difficult to fit everyone in. So there is a lot of interest in techniques that might use broadcast signals as radar sources. You could even think of designing your broadcast waveforms so that they do not just do their normal job, but are also made more useful for radar," says Griffiths.
"The key is identifying the right applications. Air-traffic control looks to be an interesting one. You could use broadcast signals for that. In densely populated areas, suitable radar exists; but in some areas there is nothing. Broadcast signals are strong and their transmitters are favourably located to give high coverage. In Africa, for example, being able to use broadcast sources for radar would give you something you don't have yet."
The technique scales down too; burglar-alarm systems of the future may piggyback off wireless network signals to determine if an intruder is moving around inside or outside the premises. Splitting the radar in two is set to put it on its next wave of development.
Professor Andy Hopper, president of the IET, says: "Our judging panel were presented with some very high calibre candidates, but Professor Griffiths' work shone through. I really hope this prize will help him to continue his ground breaking work with radars."
Professor Griffiths' A F Harvey Prize Lecture: From a different perspective: "Principles, practice and potential of bistatic radar", takes place tomorrow at the IET's Savoy Place venue.

"ALLEGIANT," by Veronica Roth, Katherine Tegen Books, $19.99, 544 pages (f) (14 and up)
Veronica Roth's "Allegiant," the last book in the Divergent series, jumps right into the faction-less world that Tris Prior and her friends are a part of. Her world is scarred by violence and power struggles, and Tris wants no part of it.
Soon enough, Tris and her small party of friends are given the opportunity to search the world beyond their gates. Tris eagerly accepts — though she has no idea what is waiting for her.
Tris leaves one community only to be trapped in another. She quickly learns the truth about her home and why she is divergent. She learns about her history and where her mother came from. She also learns that those she loves are genetically flawed and prone to certain behaviors.
"Allegiant" is told from the perspectives of Tobias and Tris. It can be difficult to adapt to the constantly changing narrations.
One of the book's flaws is how philosophical the main plot became. Roth goes deep into the world of the "experiments" and the "genetically disabled" and creates a complex explanation for their existence. It is too much information crammed into one book. It is also a disappointing way to answer all the cliffhangers at the end of "Insurgent," the second book.
The love story between Tris and Tobias is also forced. There are multiple scenes where the two passionately kiss for no other reason but to relieve stress. Their relationship is not explored and developed.
Despite this, "Allegiant" is fast-paced and entertaining. Tris is a likable character because she is not a helpless woman. The story is really about Tris finding herself — and that is exactly what the book is about.
The biggest surprise is the controversial ending. Despite it being a complete shock, it is a satisfying conclusion to the end of the series.
There are scenes of a sexual nature in the book and though sex is never mentioned, it is implied between the two main characters.
"Allegiant" should be read by those who need closure to the series. Though not as explosive as it could have been, it is still a fun read.

In the purpose of practicing for an upcoming programming contest, I'm making a very basic search engine in C# that takes a query from the user (e.g.
"Markov Decision Process") and searches through a couple of files to find the most relevant one to the query.
The application seems to be working (I used a term-document matrix algorithm).
But now I'd like to test the functionality of the search engine to see if it really is working properly. I tried to take a couple of Wikipedia articles and saving them as
.txt files and testing it out, but I just can't see if it's working fast enough (even with some timers).
My question is, is there a website that shows a couple of files to test a search engine on (along with the logically expected result)?
I'm testing with common sense so far, but it would be great to be sure of my results.
Also, how can I get a collection of
.txt files (maybe 10 000+ files) about various subjects to see if my application runs fast enough?
I tried copying a few Wikipedia articles, but it would take way too much time to do. I also thought about making a script of some sort to do it for me, but I really don't know how to do that.
So, where can I find a lot of files with separated subjects?
Otherwise, how can I benchmark my application?
Note: I guess a simple big
.txt file where each line represents a "file" about a subject would do the job too.
