A MUM accused of murder has told jurors she had no idea about a plan to set fire to an East Oxford house 17 years ago.
Fiaz Munshi, 38, denies murdering two children in an arson attack in Magdalen Road in 1997.
And she said she returned to the UK from Pakistan in 2004 as she had "nothing to hide".
The mother-of-four, who began giving evidence today, admitted she was in one of two cars that travelled to Oxford on the night of the blaze but thought the group was going to have a fight.
She said her boyfriend Haq Nawaz - who was convicted of the murders in 1998 - had forced her to come along.
She said: "I agreed because I was scared of him."
The prosecution say Munshi wanted to set fire to the house after a bitter argument with the Khan family that lived there.
Anum Khan, eight, and her brother Majid, 15, died in the fire.
But Munshi said she thought she was going to fight their elder sister Shehnaz Akthar that night, adding: "I would have pulled her hair and punched her but nothing more."
She also said Nawaz told told her to lie to the police after the fire.
The jury heard Munshi left the UK for Pakistan three months after the fire to be with her ill father.
She said she was forced to marry and could only return to England in 2004 after she had two children.
But the former Donnington Middle School pupil said was not afraid of returning despite her sister Riaz being convicted of manslaughter.
She said: "Why should I not come back? I have not done anything wrong, I have got nothing to hide.
"I am not guilty of murder."
The trial continues.

Now it's California Thursday. With little depth for Utah, these consecutive tournament games are tough, but good to Utah for winning the USC game. I am proud the way the Utes have played at the end of the season That's 3 PAC 12 wins in a row now). Utah has shown heart and pride. The program is in good hands with Coach K jr.

Great game, Utah! I hoped you could beat USC, but I wasn't sure. These
tournaments have added a new dimension to NCAA play. I was sorry to see my BYU
team lose but they weren't able to maintain their game all the way to the
end. (I am a BYU alum). Now, I can cheer BYU on if they play in the NIT and
cheer Utah if they go on and make the NCAA tournament. It has been a new
experience for both schools to play against tougher competition without the
super-stars they have enjoyed having on their teams. But it makes the game more
interesting when I don't know who may be the one to step up his game and
surprise someone!
Good luck with California next. I know you can beat them; your team has shown it has a little in reserve still to deliver to Cal and then, on to winning the tournament!

Nice win; talk about back and forth. This tournament is soooo wide open I wouldn't be surprised by any team winning it; including Utah. Nice to live to fight another day. What were all the Haters saying yesterday? The Utes have no chance. Where are they now? The Utes certainly have a fighters chance. Go UTAH!

Great job, Utes!! Here's one diehard Cougar fan cheering wildly for you.
Hope you keep on rolling to the finals. Things are truly looking up for you
guys! Wish my cougs had a similar end of season success too but they
didn't. So sad! Seemed like they didn't have any fight left in them
in the end so, I guess it's wait till next season again.
Good luck, Utes! And go Cougars, if you make it to the NIT!

great win for kristko and the UTes! He is a great coach! I love the way the team plays defense. They all play hard, and they are all unselfish. Give coach a few years to recruit his own guys and they will be one of those teams that gets to skip the first day of the tourney year in and year out.

Kosta Fesenko, do you know how ridiculous that sounds? You schedule only one
Utah team and you lost to them... Now the U is the best team in Utah?
I am happy to see the Utes advance... I have to say that I expected it however, after 2 of the teams starters and primary players were suspended for the game for violation of team rules.

I believe this win just qualified Dotson for a medical redshirt. This was a "must win" game to ensure we might get an extra year with this talented athlete. Great win for Utah!

"I believe this win just qualified Dotson for a medical redshirt. This was a "must win" game to ensure we might get an extra year with this talented athlete."
A medical redshirt may be granted an athlete who appears in fewer than 30% of his or her team's competitions (with none coming after the midway point of the season), then suffers a season-ending injury.
Dotson's injury occurred in the 15th game of the season, so it was before the midway point, but since he played in 10 games, the Utes would have to play 34 games for him to meet the "fewer than 30%" threshold - in other words, the Utes would have to reach PAC-12 tournament final for Dotson to qualify for a medical redshirt.

New Arm, Same Spirit
Shark-Attack Survivor Bethany Hamilton Gets a Prosthesis to Replace the Limb She Lost
Still, she is not completely at ease with her new appendage, which is mostly cosmetic (Bethany can only move it by manipulating it with her other hand), and truth be told, it's a little pale compared to her tanned torso. "She calls it haole girl," says her father, Tom Hamilton, using the Hawaiian term for a white person. An artist at the California offices of Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics Inc. will dye it to better match her skin color in the next couple of weeks. The company is also working on a mechanical arm that, controlled by the nerve endings in the 1½-inch stump she calls "Stumpy," will allow Bethany to grab objects and do two-handed activities. Even that prosthesis won't help her surfing, however, and it won't be ready for another month. "What she has now is a go-to-the-movies, wear-a-long-sleeve-shirt-and-not-be-noticed sort of thing," says Tom.
To make her current prosthesis—which was partially paid for by the Hamiltons' health insurance—technicians took a plaster mold of Bethany's right arm last December then spent a month tweaking the design. Bethany has a teenager's reluctance to discuss her feelings about the new arm, but when she first tried it on, "it was an emotional moment," says Hanger clinical specialist Troy Farnsworth. "When someone sees a replication of the arm they just lost, it can be pretty powerful."
Don't expect Bethany, who has been unfailingly upbeat since the attack, to wallow in drama. Since she received the arm on Jan. 24, she has only worn it around the house, once to lunch and once to the church she attends with her family on their home island, Kauai—in other words, she says, "not enough to feel comfortable." So how does it feel? "It's okay," she says, with characteristic nonchalance, shrugging. "But it's kind of sweaty right now."

Although eddy-current testing is king in the tube production industry, flux leakage is worth a look. Using a small test sample, equipment-maker InspecTech found that for 3.50-in. to 4.00-in. carbon steel tubing with wall thickness from 0.056 in. to 0.100 in., the flux leakage method found more defects and turned out fewer false alarms than the eddy-current method did.
Tube producers routinely test weld seams in carbon steel on the tube mill as the product is made. Such testing is a vital part of any well-rounded quality assurance program. Ultrasonic or electromagnetic nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques are acceptable methods under most codes and practices.
Ultrasonic testing is the method of choice, but for thin-walled or small-diameter tubing (wall thickness less than 3 mm or 0.125 inch, or diameter less than 50 mm or 2 in.), ultrasonic testing is not applied easily to online testing. This leaves electromagnetic testing as the most viable option for testing small tubes. Specifically, eddy-current testing has been unchallenged in the tube industry for several decades.
Tube producers have another electromagnetic testing option: flux leakage (or diverted flux).
The standard reference for the NDT industry is "The Non-Destructive Testing Handbook," which now runs to 10 volumes and covers all aspects of NDT. Volume 4, which deals with electromagnetic testing, discusses two factors:
Tube producers want NDT systems that have PD= 1 and PS= 0. This leads to two observations: First, this isn't feasible, and second, the working relationship between PDand PSis influenced by external factors such as operator skill level and the mill environment.
Therefore, selecting an optimum test method for a given environment can be complex, involving not only how effectively a given system will find defects, but also how well the system will be understood and used in the harsh environment of the tube producer's plant. Simultaneously operating two systems, eddy current and flux leakage, on one tube mill to inspect the same product yielded the differences in the two systems' capabilities.
It is important to note that carbon steel is a ferromagnetic material, and a direct eddy-current test on a magnetic tube weld is nearly useless because the weld surface generates many meaningless signals. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a strong magnetic field to the steel to render it the same as a nonmagnetic electrical conductor such as copper or aluminum. A magnetic saturator applies the magnetic field.
The distance between the probe and the item under test influences the eddy-current effect, so it is important to minimize any variation in the spacing. Also, the eddy-current field decays in the material, resulting in reduced sensitivity through the thickness of the test piece. Finally, the relative permeability is 1 for nonmagnetic materials, but over 3,000 for unmagnetized steel. This is why the magnetic saturator is needed for measuring anything other than the surface noise in the weld.
The flux leakage test does not require eliminating the nuisance value of the magnetic permeability of steel. In fact, the flux leakage method actually uses this property.
If the material is defect-free and homogeneous, the system distributes magnetic flux uniformly throughout the weld zone. Singularities distort the field and cause some stray flux to leak at the surface, where it is detected, amplified, and presented as an alarm.
Eddy current testing is characterized by a simple relationship between defect depth and signal amplitude. This is not the case for flux leakage testing. That aside, flux leakage has a good response to ID singularities, with signal decay proportional to defect depth. Compared with eddy current, flux leakage is easy to calibrate and operate, and it provides good absolute results.
Flux leakage testing also is useful when the parent material is galvanized or aluminized, and the weld zone is remetalized immediately after welding and before testing. In this situation, a thin coating of zinc or aluminum covers the steel to be tested. The conductivity of the zinc or aluminum is about 60 percent on the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS) scale; the steel's conductivity is around 10 percent IACS. The eddy-current activity is concentrated in the coating, and testing the steel below becomes a second layer problem. The flux leakage test, on the other hand, responds only to magnetic materials and treats aluminum or zinc coatings as it would respond to air.
An eddy-current test system was installed alongside an existing flux leakage unit on a tube mill that was producing 3.50-in. and 4.00-in. carbon steel tubing with wall thickness from 0.056 in. to 0.100 in. To eliminate any variations between the two systems, one factory technician supervised the calibration of both systems, using one set of calibration pieces. The data loggers recorded production characteristics and defect indications only when the factory technician was present and supervising both systems. During the course of the test, the data loggers tested 104,700 feet of material.
The trials tested both carbon steel and aluminized product, but the test regimen did not require separate records for each type of product.
The systems automatically marked all defect indications by separate spray paint systems. Quality assurance personnel inspected coupons cut from the painted locations. This study ignored defect clusters at the beginning and end of each coil because tube producers routinely crop these from the finished product.
In most cases, the reason for the indication was visually obvious. When there were no visual clues, the coupon was crush-tested to check for internal defects.
These factor weights were assigned:
|Figure 1
The analysis showed that flux leakage performed well in finding actual defects (categories 1, 2, and 3) and had fewer false alarms (category 4) than did eddy current (see Figure 1).
The probability calculations are somewhat crude because of the small sample size and the lack of minute investigation for additional defects that might have been missed by both systems.
If all defects of severity level 1, 2, and 3 are considered rejectable and all category 4 indications are considered spurious, this test generated 27 rejectable indications and 36 spurious indications.
This analysis of PDand PSis superficial at best, and accurately determining these factors in a tube mill would be close to impossible. Nonetheless, the results indicate that the flux leakage test method has much to offer.

President Obama has faced a plethora of challenges both at home and abroad during his first term. While some challenges were inherited, the Arab Spring uprisings provided a new opportunity for him to strengthen America's role as a global leader. Much debate has raged over the way in which Obama dealt with the uprisings. Supporters view Obama's foreign policy as a selling point as he moves toward the 2012 elections, while opponents have condemned him as a follower "leading from behind." Absent in this debate is an objective attempt to both articulate Obama's foreign policy agenda in both a historical and cross-national context, and an effort to analyze Obama's reaction to the Arab Spring uprisings vis-a-vis other state leaders. This article attempts to rectify these problems to better understand whether Obama was a leader or a follower during the Arab Spring.
We begin with a thorough discussion of Obama's foreign policy approach and then present empirical analysis of original data of all state signals during the Arab Spring uprisings.
Though we find some evidence pointing toward leadership, the bulk of our evidence indicates that Obama was largely either an active spectator or a follower during the uprisings.
We conclude that, at best, Obama showed weak evidence of leadership during the Arab Spring uprisings.

Posted on 04/07/2011 4:31:20 PM PDT by Nachum
And to think
. It was only a few short hours ago that far left Wisconsin candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg declared victory in the states Supreme Court race. Watch the first 36 seconds if you want a good laugh.
(Excerpt) Read more at gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com ...
Oh Snap!
Ultimate Schadenfreude!
Oh well. As long as Obamakaka doesn't step in and declare the election void :).
Waukesha Co: Human error caused mis-count of votes
WAUKESHA, Wisconsin - The Waukesha County Clerk says "human error" led to not counting several thousand votes on Tuesday night. The adjusted totals give an unofficial 7,500 vote lead to incumbent Justice David Prosser in the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus said Thursday that the votes weren't reported to The Associated Press on Tuesday due to "human error."
She says she noticed the error on Wednesday when she came in to start the process of canvassing, or rechecking the numbers from Tuesday's vote.
Nickolaus says they worked through Thursday to verify the new numbers were correct.
Before the announcement, it was assumed 68-year-old conservative Justice David Prosser's race against liberal assistant state attorney general JoAnne Kloppenburg was headed for a recount.
But Prosser's lead is likely to stand if the new numbers hold up through canvassing in all of Wisconsin's 72 counties.
Opponents of the union rights law had hoped a Kloppenburg victory would set the stage for the high court to strike it down.
I've seen reports that this only affects the AP's numbers, and not the official tally. I wish I could find the truth either way.
The dem commie liberals are finally losing ground to the more reasonable conservatives and republicans.
We can only hope that this is a harbinger of even bigger and better gains for conservatives in 2012.
This must happen if we are to take the country back from the commie leftist liberal bastards currently in power.
In fact, that should be the slogan of the republican party in 2012 - "help us take the country back".
Hey lefties, how does my a@@ taste..signed..the rest of America
Man, is she ever dumb.
I just watched the vid at the link. Her makeup looks like she has a five-o'clock shadow.
Good that leftist bat gets the bad news.
There is no official tally yet.
Praise G-d!
"Yes! Yesss! Oh, let me taste your tears....Mmmmmm, your tears are so yummy and sweet! Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-yummy!"
Not trying to pick nits here, but when did AP become the official election arbiter?
LOL I remember that episode
If Prosser does win, what does this say about the unions? They spent $3 million that could have gone to the 2012 elections.
Payback's a total bitsch sometimes, eh J-Klo?
Your presence and guidance are required here Chode.
They spent $3 million that actually could have gone to their workers....you know....the people they supposedly represent.
Hard on the eyes, too.
Snappy looking chart.
Hear hear!
The Wisconsin Supreme Court! So easy, a ditzy, braindead useful idiot supported by commie union thugs can do it! No judicial experience required!
that reporter sure pinned her tail against the wall did he not? lol Challenging her 'early victory' call etc etc. Clearly she was uncomfortable to the point of wanting to tear the little feller's head off! :)
Oh no you din't......I agree 100%
Maybe if we are lucky the papers can show some libs crying like when Kerry lost.
Priceless, like that episode of South Park when Cartman drinks his rival's tears.
I'm having the time of my life watching their heads explode,
They are totally off their rockers right now.
I can see the dem future election fraudent tactics being much more under the radar
Kloppenburg is running around looking for a trunk full of ballots.
Dude, the only thing that's worse, is the insistence that the press has, to call a race before official numbers are compiled.
The official numbers are exactly the same, with these votes. The UNOFFICIAL numbers, the ones reported seconds after the precinct closes, THOSE are the ones that were in error.
I emailed the EAA that I wasn't going to fly to WI Air Adventure this year bacause of the Union Thugs. Now, I think I will change my mind :-))
I don't think there is an official tally yet, so the only thing that could be affected is unofficial numbers.
She'll have a takeback on that one. LOL.
"The Waukesha County Clerk says human error led to not counting several thousand votes on Tuesday night.
Right out of the democrats play book!!! LOL
Kloppenburg is running around looking for a trunk full of ballots.
She might try looking in Lake Michigan. That's where the democrats put the ballots when Kennedy was elected.
I get sick listening to her lies saying they were respectful. They were anything but. Just a like a bunch of hungry vultures is more like it.
The best part, the election official IS A DEMONRAT, HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA

Results of Round 13 of the Wolfgang Battle.
Cronk vs. Swordman B - Critical Hit
Nyx vs. Swordsman A - Hit
Atramor vs.
Spider vs. Crossbowman A - Shield Poison Fang
Rufindel vs. Halberdeer - Damage
The party quickly recuperates and attacks again, Cronk, Nyx, and Atramor move in side by side, Cronk and Nyx bashing on both Swordsmen, Cronk with his sword, Nyx with her Dawnstar. Both Swordsmen fall over. Atramor, seeing his original target fall, makes a sudden move towards the Crossbowman, who does not expect him, which gives the rogue the opportunity to deal 37 damage with his slashing blade, and he also takes a pouch containing 37 gold in the process. The spider quickly follows up Atramor's attack, and deals 10 damage to the Crossbowman by sinking his venomous fangs in the Crossbowman's arm, and poisoning him. Rufindel furiously battles with the Halberdeer, but unfortunately the halberd proves a more effective weapon than the staff, and Rufindel takes 4 damage. The Crossbowman takes 1 damage from the poison.

) My Journey to Homeowners hip (new: 10/23)
06-13-2012 08:12 AM - edited 10-23-2012 01:36 AM
I say "hopefully" because there are some "unique" pieces to my situation that we are trying to work around. Long story short and drama-free, I moved myself and my kids 1,000 miles away from my marital home a few years back for an internship that became a real job. I'm tired of paying a boatload of rent and utilities for where I am living and decided to try for a USDA Guaranteed loan September 2011 (when I foolishly thought my scores were in the low-600s). I had a wake-up call at 568 and 586, discovered MyFICO and started to work on my credit.
I was able to get a bunch of junk off through GW letters and some help from HIPPO minus the PO, plus an AA. In the middle of the credit work, my EQ score went to around 638, so I felt safe to start looking at builders. I found the houseplans that were perfect for us in the right neighborhood, plunked down $500 deposit, and signed on the dotted line in March 2012. Continued hammering away until the only stuff left is consequences of poor decisions and I have to live with it. Happily, my credit scores are now 715, 701, and 682, plenty good for USDA Guaranteed.
This is where it gets hairy. My DTI ratios are fine unless everything goes against me in UW. I'm on a mortgage on a marital home which was given to "ex" in a separation agreement. We are not divorcing. I can only prove 4 months of payments from his personal account, they are asking for 12, only, we didn't KNOW it had to be 12 months to be excluded, besides, we only officially separated in December 2011. I also receive child support in the separation agreement, but since it is not a divorce, not sure if they will count it. Finally, I have student loans that are in the process of being consolidated (since early March, what the HECK is taking so long???) and put into the IBR plan which will help the DTI.
I was asked to submit so far:
2 months of bank statements along with explanations for all non-direct deposits over $100
2 months of retirement account
4 weeks of paystubs
Last 2 W-2s
Last 2 tax returns
Driver's License and SS Card
Copies of checks for the child support and promissory note on the marital home
Rental lease and copies of checks for the last year
LOE for why I'm not getting divorced and why I moved
LOE for any late payments on my credit report (2007 and some from early 2011, all over a year past)
Had a chat with the mortgage person today and she finished up my file as much as she could without the stinkin' student loan reporting correctly. That's the big piece we are waiting for. She is going to talk to the UW about the marital home mortgage and the child support to see what, if anything, can be done there. She did say we could NOT do a "settlement at closing" on the marital home which was something I was hoping for. I have $5K currently tied up in earnest money on the new house and since I'm doing USDA, will get all of it back, so could easily pay off the other mortgage with it if I could do it that way.
So I continue to wait...
Current Score: EQ 664 TU 700 EX 701 (FAKO)

I have to say, the rate this team is trending, we will get our first rounder back.
No not this year. The only way I see that happening is if we sweetened the pot more for them and take back contacts and give them another expiring. Perhaps, a 2015 first round pick may be in order.
Monroe + Stuckey for Jeff Green + 1st rounder?
Ugh. way to blow this Dumars. Thank you so much!
I find Shabazz to be the the sound at 8. It is not a stretch. He is exactly in our reach and it fits our needs. So many knocks on Drummond prior to the draft. I've wanted him since last year and feel...
This is great news. Drummond coming into the next season with a post move or two would but a GIANT leap for his offensive game. Hakeem is the guy to help make that work.
I heard on 97.1 today McMillan was the front runner to land the job. I would not mind him either. I thought he got the shaft in portland. That was such a promising team....
Bring on Phil haha!
Bynum should be subbed out. No point in winning this game.
If we do not draft a pg (Burke) I wouldn't mind the idea of offering Bledsoe a contract offer. back to the question I would say Knight. As Gators put it he is younger and under contract.
That was a pretty sick move my Irving. Too bad he isn't wearing piston blue, white and red.
I am kind of shocked Frank did not take Drummond out. Either he is showing he found a pair or realizes it does not matter win nor lose down he stretch since we played pretty decent tonight.
Monroe & Drummond pairing doing work tonight.
Basket beating 3 pointer for Cleveland to win the game.
No chance in hell we pick Zeller.
If we get jumped and say our pick is now 6th or 7th I think Muhammad will be there and that should be the pick we take. He seems to have more potential than Oladipo. I would take him with our 5th as...
Jonas has been doing pretty well of late from 3pt land. Especially since the start of the season. It makes his 4 mil contract much for feasible being able to play inside and out.
Its funny how Knight was the starting PG at the beginning of the season and Stuckey playing the 2. Now the roles are completely switched.
Anyone know if D Rose is shut down for the rest of the year or will he be making a Post Season appearance?
All the same reasons already posted. Middleton has more room for growth imo than English. I think he has shown better flashes of what he can do for us than English.
Way to stat pad.
Give it to Toronto!!!
Where was this Stuckey all season long huh....
Ouch! Tough luck on that kind of injury. Hope for a speedy recovery.

Principals will reapply and be chosen first, and then will have an opportunity to evaluate their staffs and select a team, according to school spokesman Steve Wasko. Flint schools will get a boost from Americorps By Steve Carmody • May 6, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio More than 80 Americorps members will spend part of the next few years helping Flint school children. The national service program named Flint as one of ten communities nationwide that will participate in its Operation Americorps. Similar grants have already been announced in New York, Tucson, Arizona and Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The program combines three different parts of Americorps. MSU grad students march for better pay, benefits By Michigan Radio Newsroom • May 1, 2015 Ashlie Forchione Michigan State University graduate students marched on campus to protest a contract they say does not provide an adequate lifestyle for vital university staff. About 250 students participated in the march, sponsored by the Graduate Employees Union. They are demanding a set of accommodations in their next contract that includes tuition waivers, affordable health care, an inclusive work environment, and a living salary. Union President Sylvia Marques says MSU's pay for graduate students is on the low end for Big Ten universities, and that combined with high health care premiums, it is difficult for the students to make ends meet. Snyder's plan to overhaul Detroit Public Schools By Kate Wells • Apr 30, 2015 Sarah Hulett / Michigan Radio Governor Snyder rolled out his plan today to overhaul education in Detroit and get Detroit Public Schools out of the deep, deep hole it's in now. DPS is reportedly the worst-performing urban school district in the country, with years of falling enrollment and $2 billion in crippling debt. Meet the "King of Second Chances" at Cody High School in Detroit By Stateside Staff • Apr 30, 2015 Andrea Claire Maio Listen Listening... / 8:38 Listen to Stateside's conversation with Michigan Radio's Jennifer Guerra. Where do students in a neighborhood struggling with blight, drugs, and gangs turn? If you're talking about students at Cody High School in Detroit, it's to Coach Jimmie Knight. Report: Other schools would pay the price if DPS's debt is forgiven By Rebecca Kruth • Apr 23, 2015 Christian Schnettelker / Creative Commons A new report says restructuring Detroit Public Schools' debt could cost other school districts millions of dollars. The Citizens Research Council of Michigan says other districts would lose about $50 per student if DPS is allowed to use property taxes to pay off its debt. Schools normally use these taxes to fund operations. But if the taxes were used to pay off debt, the state would have to make up the difference. Meet one of Detroit's last remaining Hmong families By Zak Rosen • Apr 23, 2015 Zak Rosen / Michigan Radio When we talk about immigrant communities in Detroit, the Hmong don't usually come up in that conversation. The ethnic group from Southeast Asia began settling in Northeast Detroit's Osborn neighborhood in the years after the Vietnam War. 27 of Michigan's lowest-performing schools make enough improvements for state superintendent By Lindsey Smith • Apr 16, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio The state ranks schools on a top-to-bottom list each year. Those in the lowest five percent are considered "priority" schools. There were almost 260 priority schools until now, when the state superintendent removed 27 of them from the list. He said the schools had implemented improvement plans successfully since the schools were placed on the list in 2010. Ann Arbor school board bans guns on school grounds By Kate Wells • Apr 16, 2015 Tracy Samilton / Michigan Radio The Ann Arbor school board has unanimously voted to ban guns on school grounds, less than two months after a man wore a gun to a school choir concert. Dozens of parents turned out to recent board meetings asking the board members to pass the ban. But it required lengthy discussion with the board's legal advisors, because technically, an exception in Michigan law makes it legal for someone with a concealed pistol license to open carry in schools. Detroit charter school teachers working to unionize By Virginia Gordan • Apr 15, 2015 Liza Lagman Sperl / Flickr Teachers at three charter school districts in Detroit could vote as early as next month on whether to unionize.

Flint schools superintendent retiring By Steve Carmody • Apr 8, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio The Flint school district needs a new superintendent. Larry Watkins announced today he's retiring. During Watkins' two years as interim schools superintendent, the Flint school district has seen its budget deficit grow (from $4 million to nearly $22 million), staff laid off and enrollment continue to decline.

State lawmakers are being asked for $725,000 dollars to cover unpaid debts of the former Buena Vista school district, the one they dissolved two years ago. Anti-Common Core groups urge parents to opt out of new state test By Steve Carmody • Apr 6, 2015 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Nearly 800,000 Michigan students are scheduled to take a new standardized test this month. But some parents may opt their kids out of the test. The new Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress, or M-STEP, is replacing the old MEAP test. Third through 8th grade students will take the M-STEP exam beginning next week. Roughly 80% of the students will take the test online. But some groups oppose the new test and its ties to Common Core standards. They are encouraging parents to pull their children from the testing. Oops… reporting error leads to perfect review of teachers at state's largest online school By Lindsey Smith • Apr 3, 2015 SpecialKRB / flickr More than 2,800 students log online to attend Michigan Virtual Charter Academy. The state's largest virtual school is also one of its worst performing districts. Yet every single teacher was rated "highly effective" for the last two years, according to data recently released by the state. Where are Michigan's best and worst teachers? By Lindsey Smith • Apr 3, 2015 Mark Brush / Michigan Radio Today, we reported about how much teacher evaluations vary from district to district.

Imperial Tobacco Intends IPO of Logista Unit in Spain
Imperial Tobacco Group Plc plans to sell shares of its Logista unit on the Spanish stock exchange in an initial public offering that analysts estimate may value the European logistics company at as much as $2.5 billion.
Imperial Tobacco will retain a majority of the stock, while selling a portion to institutional investors, the Bristol, England-based company said today. Logista won't receive proceeds from the sale, which is slated for the first half of July.
Bought by Imperial Tobacco in 2008 as part of its takeover of cigarette maker Altadis SA, Logista distributes goods from customers including tobacco producers and pharmaceutical companies. The IPO will enable Imperial to pay down some of its
11.1 billion pounds ($19 billion) of net debt, giving it leeway to participate in deals that may become necessary should Reynolds American Inc. bid for Lorillard Inc., according to Erik Bloomquist, an analyst at Berenberg Bank in London.
"It gives it a bit more flexibility if it were interested in picking up any brands that could come up for sale after a Reynolds/Lorillard merger," Bloomquist said. He estimates that at least four brands -- Kool, Salem, Winston and Maverick -- could become available for as much as $5 billion.
Imperial Tobacco spokesman Simon Evans declined to comment on the speculation, adding that the company has always viewed the U.S. as a growth market.
Logista is the fifth company to announce plans to sell shares this year in Spain as the country's economy emerges from three years of economic contraction. That's putting 2014 on track to be the best year for IPOs since at least 2011, according to data data compiled by Bloomberg. Applus Services SA raised 1.1 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in May, the country's biggest listing in almost three years.
Imperial Gains
Logista's IPO is likely to value the company at 1.1 billion pounds to 1.5 billion pounds, according to Damian McNeela, an analyst at Panmure Gordon & Co. in London.
"Although any potential transaction would be dilutive, we think it would be well-received," McNeela wrote.
Imperial Tobacco rose 0.7 percent to 2,621 pence at 9:52 a.m. in London trading.
The maker of Gauloises cigarettes inherited a 59.6 percent stake in Logista at the time of the 12.6 billion-euro Altadis takeover and later bought the rest in a deal that valued the logistics company at 2.3 billion euros.
"This is a business that even on a superficial basis drags on the financial performance of Imperial," Philip Gorham, an analyst at Morningstar, said by phone. "It's capital intensive and detrimental to profitability. And strategically it doesn't really give them that much."
