Sean Penn to direct 'The Last Face' with Charlize Theron, Javier Bardem and Adèle Exarchopoulos
It looks like Sean Penn is set for the director's chair for the fifth time in his career with "The Last Face," a drama starring Charlize Theron, Javier Bardem and "Blue is the Warmest Color" starlet Adèle Exarchopoulos.
Theron will star as a doctor doing humanitarian relief work in Africa with the continent's violent political conflicts as a backdrop. Bardem will play another doctor and the story revolves around "tough moral decisions that must be made during time of civil unrest," according to Deadline. Exarcopoulos, the outlet reports, will play a journalist.
The film is being produced by River Road and Bill Pohlad, who produced Penn's last film, "Into the Wild," and Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," which starred the actor/director. Bill Gerber and Matt Palmieri are also on board as producers. "The Yellow Handkerchief" scribe Erin Dingam (who had a role in Penn's "The Crossing Guard") is writing.
Penn's work behind the camera has always been of a certain class. The time he takes to choose projects and meditate on what story he wants to tell has always been mirrored in the exacting nature of the actual work. And he's never starred in one of his own pictures, so they never have devolved into any sort of vanity project. I've always respected him for that.
"Into the Wild" was the only one that ever had a brush with the awards season. And it endured a surprising fall. After being a pretty dominant figure on the circuit — a DGA nomination for Penn (which he was most proud of), leading the BFCA's list of nominees — the film only landed two Oscar nominations, for Best Supporting Actor (Hal Holbrook) and Best Film Editing. The biggest tragedy to me, though, was that Eddie Vedder was completely snubbed by the music branch for his many wonderful songs in the film. But, well, crazy, kooky music branch.
Perhaps "The Last Face" will be a different story, but it's certainly, on paper, a project that has us interested from afar. Guys like Pohlad (also a producer of last year's Best Picture winner "12 Years a Slave") have class and taste, and Penn has already assembled a handful of stellar actors for the project: Theron ("Monster") and Bardem ("No Country for Old Men") are Oscar winners, as, of course, is Penn ("Mystic River" and "Milk").

In previous communications1 has been reported the influence of acute infections on the plasma lipid values of children ranging in age from infancy to 14 years. There was definite lowering of the values for total cholesterol, for total fatty acids and for phospholipids at the height of the disease as compared with the levels during convalescence. Diet had no demonstrable influence. Fever per se was not responsible for the lowering of the various lipid constituents of the blood plasma. Since experiments on animals have already shown that the lipids are involved in some way in the phenomena of immunity, further studies were made in order to furnish data which might be of value in more complete investigations into the chemistry of immunity. An analysis was made of the changes which occur in the free cholesterol and in the cholesterol esters and of the variations in the degree of unsaturation

A combined evolutionary search and multilevel optimisation approach to graph-partitioning
Soper, A. J., Walshaw, C. and Cross, M. (2004) A combined evolutionary search and multilevel optimisation approach to graph-partitioning. Journal of Global Optimization, 29 (2). pp. 225-241. ISSN 0925-5001 (Print), 1573-2916 (Online) (doi:10.1023/B:JOGO.0000042115.44455.f3)Full text not available from this repository.
The graph-partitioning problem is to divide a graph into several pieces so that the number of vertices in each piece is the same within some defined tolerance and the number of cut edges is minimised. Important applications of the problem arise, for example, in parallel processing where data sets need to be distributed across the memory of a parallel machine. Very effective heuristic algorithms have been developed for this problem which run in real-time, but it is not known how good the partitions are since the problem is, in general, NP-complete. This paper reports an evolutionary search algorithm for finding benchmark partitions. A distinctive feature is the use of a multilevel heuristic algorithm to provide an effective crossover. The technique is tested on several example graphs and it is demonstrated that our method can achieve extremely high quality partitions significantly better than those found by the state-of-the-art graph-partitioning packages.

Vermont GOP expected to offer amendment to budgetBy Peter Hirschfeld
Staff Writer | March 28,2013MONTPELIER – Having failed in their bid to derail a tax bill that would raise more than $20 million in new revenue next year, House Republicans have now turned their focus toward changing the ways in which Democrats want to spend the money.
The GOP super-minority will offer an amendment to the budget Friday that would ax spending on new programs and redirect the money to buy down public-pension obligations and bolster rainy-day reserves.
The amendment will undoubtedly fail, and by a wide margin. But House Minority Leader Don Turner said his caucus is at least making its points.
"Vermont needs to get its fiscal house in order,"Turner said Thursday. "It's already very expensive to live in Vermont. And these (budget and tax) bills make it much, much worse."
Turner said that at the outset of the session, he presented House Speaker Shap Smith with the conditions that would be needed to earn his caucus' support for the fiscal year 2014 spending plan. They included: an overall spending increase of not more than 3 percent; limiting new employees to the 17 positions needed to staff the new state hospital; and the creation of a $20 million reserve to absorb looming cuts in federal aid.
"We knew full well we wouldn't achieve everything on this, but we hoped to see some movement on some," Turner said. "This budget being brought to the floor does not do that."

It's official: the last remaining ostensibly politically viable member of the once-powerful Carnahan dynasty has decided to not seek a third term. I say 'ostensibly' because it was actually unclear that Robin Carnahan was ever going to recover from her humiliating shellacking at the hands of Roy Blunt in last year's MO-SEN race (13 points is pretty bad). And I say 'last remaining' because her brother Russ Carnahan is, metaphorically speaking, a dead man walking: the Missouri legislature took the opportunity offered by redistricting to excise Carnahan's seat in a heroic act of political eugenics.
As you may have guessed from the above, I am not particularly enamored of the Carnahan dynasty. Truth be told, I mistrust any American political dynasty that doesn't have John Adams as a primary genetic ancestor: frankly, they tend to turn to the bad by the third generation*. So you can imagine that the news that Robin is not going to wait around to be tossed out of office is a pleasant one for me... particularly since it means that Tom Carnahan has a little bit of a patronage problem now for his wind
boondoggle business. As in, a little bit of a lack of patronage problem.
No wonder Tom is sucking up to the President, these days.'Government patronage' is pretty much his company's business model.

Here's a perl script that takes email addresses as arguments, and returns javascript code that hides your email address from web spiders. The email address is also linked so it's clickable.
This is a bit of code to add a floating box to your page that will let you switch stylesheets and fonts. I wrote it specifically to start trying out different "themes" and fonts, not to allow the end user to do these things. But the client will be using it to preview.
It's not fully parameterized, nor does it generate the HTML for the selects, so you'll need to hack the code.
I'm kind of bummed out. GoDaddy's free web page builder, InstantPage, isn't being given out with the domain anymore. I thought it was going to kill the website building business (meaning something I do for money) but the prospect of a nice page done in an hour or less, hosted for free, was just too awesome.
Maybe the free product was cannibalizing sales of their other products.
I've been writing HTML forever, but really never looked at the new HTML5 tags. For the most part, I'd devolved into using DIV and SPAN and FORM and a few other tags to code up webpages. That's OK for writing software, but it was getting pretty stupid when I was putting in code like DIV CLASS="address". A quick trip through the HTML5 tags revealed a cornucopia of tags relevant to writing academic papers and computer programming tutorials.
We all take it for granted that most sites will have a user registration system, and way to log in. We're used to it, and most people are unaware of how complex it is.
So, how complex is it?
It's around 15 different steps or screens.
I've done it a dozen times, and I think that's about right.
I'm one of those HTML losers who doesn't use the REL attribute unless is is LINK REL="stylesheet" HREF="...", or if it's provided in some template and I just paste it. (You can also use it for linking RSS and Atom feeds, but I rely on the software to do that for me.)
There's been some loving and some hating on HATEOAS (which I don't know how to pronounce), but I'm starting to get it. See: REST Cookbook, Timeless, and PayPal's API.
The core idea is, in addition to the data, you send over some information about the possible URLs you can use as a next step.
Here's a little bit of code that shows how to create a "dial" knob that you can control with the mouse. It's entirely in HTML, CSS and Javascript.
It's not hard, but there are a lot of little details to make it look reasonable and not completely goofy. I think it moves a little weird - and it should respond to both x and y axes, but doesn't.
This is a somewhat elaborate example of how to use conditional CSS and transitions to create a fluid, responsive stack of rectangles that are polite enough to stack up when the screen is narrow. The idea is I'm working on is to have a menuing system that stacks when the screen shrinks.
I don't know anything about CSS Transitions, so I made this little demo to try it out. It's ultra-simple, and I normally wouldn't post this kind of thing, but the examples I saw were a lot snazzier, so it was harder to read the code. (To this end, this is probably too fancy.)
Python and Django like snake_case.
AngularJS feels like Java, and likes camelCase.
HTML likes dashed-words.
MySQL docs like snake_case, but I see more PascalCase used in databases. It's case-sensitive, too.
Parse.com uses PascalCase for tables/classes, and camelCase for columns/properties/fields. That's like Java OOP.
Django likes to append _id to your primary keys.
So... the problems start to happen when one piece of named data is passed from one layer of the system to another. It's just a good policy to use the same names at all layers, if possible.
This is a common UI element that hovers between "pattern" and "anti-pattern", but it's one I've seen in Drupal, WordPress, and a few other places. It's the button next to a link, where the link acts just like a button:
Technically, it's a violation of UI principles, to have a link that does something to the server's state. Anthony at uxmovement thinks so, but I disagree with him, because the way the link is next to the button, it's obvious that it complements the button.
I have to learn the Chromium bug reporting system. Found an interesting rendering bug if, on a label, you specify a padding with an even number of points (pt), the rendering is shifted up a little bit, and the border can disappear if it's adjacent to another element.
Two examples are attached, differing only in the amount of padding.
Maybe it's a difference in how the values are calculated and either rounded off or truncated.
The problem goes away if you use pixels instead of points.

Dang, but it took me forever to learn CSS. Maybe I should have used a book. Here, I'm going to share with you the hard-found knowledge, presented using technical programmer jargon. (Revised in 2014.)
What is Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)? The typical answer is that it's a way to separate the way a page looks from the the underlying HTML, which describes the structure of the document.

BC-BKN--Cavaliers-Bobcats, BKN
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Al Jefferson scored 28 points, Kemba Walker had 20 points and 14 assists, and the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-92 Friday night for their sixth straight win at home.
Jefferson shot 12 of 18 from the field and reached 20 points for the 22nd time in his last 24 games. Chris Douglas-Roberts added 14 points, including four 3-pointers, and a season-high nine rebounds for Charlotte (29-33), which surpassed its win total from the previous two seasons combined.
The Bobcats, seventh in the Eastern Conference, improved to 3-0 this season against the Cavaliers and now own the tiebreaker against both Detroit and Cleveland, the ninth- and 10th-place teams in the East.
Dion Waiters and Luol Deng each scored 19 points for Cleveland, which began the night 3½ games behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the East.

Integrated Healthcare Said to Market S$650 Million Facility
Integrated Healthcare Holdings Sdn. began marketing a loan of about S$650 million ($521 million) to help finance the acquisition of a Turkey hospital chain, a person familiar with the matter said.
The three-year facility is split into a S$470 million part and a 450 million ringgit ($150 million) portion, the person said, asking not to be identified as the details are private.
Asia's biggest hospital operator is offering to pay a starting margin of 100 basis points, or 1 percentage point, over the Singapore dollar swap offer rate for the Singapore dollar-denominated loan, the person said. That increases to 150 basis points after 12 months, and 200 after two years, the person said.
Integrated Healthcare, controlled by Khazanah Nasional Bhd., Malaysia's state investment company, agreed to buy 75 percent of the owner of Turkey's largest hospital group, Acibadem Saglik Hizmetleri & Ticaret AS, in December.
CIMB Group Holdings Bhd., Bank of America Corp., Credit Suisse Group AG, DBS Group Holdings Ltd., Deutsche Bank AG and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. were hired to arrange a loan to help finance the transaction, another person familiar with the matter said on Dec. 8.
CIMB, which is acting as the loan's agent bank, will fund the ringgit portion itself, the person said today. That part of the lending initially pays a margin equal to CIMB's cost of funds plus 60 basis points more than benchmark rates, rising to 110 basis points after the first year and 160 after the second, the person said.
The five other banks arranging the Singapore dollar funding expect to attract another two to four banks in general syndication, a process which should take four to six weeks, the person said.
Ahmad Shahizam Mohd Shariff, an executive director of Parkway Pantai Ltd., didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment on the financing. Parkway is a unit of Integrated Healthcare operating hospitals across Asia.

Spielberg and Crichton set sail for 'Pirate Latitudes'
Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg were good friends for most of their professional lives, meeting originally in the early '70s at Universal. Their friendship's most famous by-product was "Jurassic Park" and its sequels, but they also collaborated on "E/R" and "Twister" over the years.
I guess, then, it shouldn't come as a huge surprise that they have one final collaboration developing right now, and it sounds like it could be a perfect vehicle for Spielberg to return to merge his skill at staging adventure while also indulging his appetite for history.
Anthony Breznican broke the story over at USA Today, and it looks like David Koepp (who scripted "Jurassic Park") has been brought on to adapt the script from Crichton's new book, set to be published at the end of November. Set in 1665 off the coast of Jamaica, the article describes the novel as "a daring plan to infiltrate Port Royal, one of the world's richest and most notorious cities, and raid a Spanish galleon filled with treasure."
The article quotes Stacey Snider, the CEO of DreamWorks, as saying, "It's a mission movie, and we see it through the prism of what it might have been like to live on the island during that time."
[more after the jump]
What's tricky here is that DreamWorks recently signed a distribution deal with Disney, which, of course, had a major hit with their "Pirates Of The Caribbean" films, and they're planning to make another one in that series very soon. My guess is "Pirate Latitudes" is a very different tone and style, and besides... if Steven Spielberg tells you he wants to make a pirate movie, it doesn't matter what else your company is doing. You let Steven Spielberg make the pirate movie. I'm willing to bet that like a lot of guys his age, Spielberg was a big fan of "High Wind To Jamaica," which is set in the same general area, and I wouldn't be shocked to hear that movies like that are what have him itching to make one of his own.
I think it's terribly sad that Crichton won't be around to enjoy this newest creative union with Spielberg, but I hope this turns out to be one of the last great movies based on his work. Most of his still-unadapted books really wouldn't work as movies, and I'm guessing that even if they're optioned for film, they're going to be really difficult to pull off. Here, you're talking about a big adventure story, and you're talking about perhaps the greatest adventure filmmaker working. I love the idea of him working in this genre without the burden of Indiana Jones or George Lucas, and I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that this turns out to be the thing he makes after "Harvey," and that it is indeed the rollicking good time it sounds like it could be.

The whale that inspired Greenpeace
The whale that inspired Greenpeace The organization that would become Greenpeace started off as an advocate for peace and as an anti-nuclear group. It expanded its activities into fighting whaling and had a major influence on the virtual cessation of the commercial fishing of whales which made Greenpeace a household name. That change in direction can be traced to a single whale. Allow me to introduce to you, Skana.
Whaling in the Antarctic (Australia v. Japan: New Zealand intervening)
A case currently before the International Court of Justice has Australia (supported by New Zealand) seeking to either stop the flagrant abuse of a loophole in the International Whaling Commission's rules by Japan, or a nasty cultural imperialist "moral crusade" attempt to suppress a sustainable, ancient tradition of killing whales with factory ships around Antarctica. You can watch Court arguments here.
Battle on the Hypothermic Seas
Yarrrr/Banzai! All you "Talk like a pirate day" keyboard swashbucklers take heed: The Sea Shepherd Society's flagship Farley Mowat is now officialy a pirate vessel after Canada, Britain, and Belize revoked their registration. As the Japanese winter Antarctic whale hunting season begins (previously), the M/V Farley Mowat is setting sail to meet them, armed with a hydraulic "can opener" battering ram, a pie cannon, and moral conviction. With the Japanese whaling fleet now majority owned by the Japanese government, a subject of international diplomatic intrigue, and after last year's confrontations, this could get ugly!

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- This is essentially the situation the Detroit Lions wanted to be in before the season.
They are in contention for their first ever NFC North title and are certainly in a good position for a potential wild-card spot if that works out. But Sunday, against Chicago, is a huge barometer for the rest of the season.
And in some ways, the Lions understand that. A win Sunday puts them in no worse than a tie for first place with Green Bay, and if the Packers lose, first place would be solely Detroit's for a week.
"Any time you play Chicago, it's a big game," Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "Obviously you're playing a division team, so it counts twice. It's a game on the road for us. Tough environment, they are coming off a win against a division opponent."
The Bears knocked off Green Bay last week, setting up this situation. So how can Detroit win?
Here are this week's four keys.
The effectiveness of Jay Cutler: The Chicago quarterback, who has had major success against Detroit in his career, was cleared to play Thursday and could start Sunday against Detroit. Usually, this would be a bad thing for the Lions. However, perhaps this is a benefit for Detroit this time. If Cutler plays, he isn't going to be at full strength, and the Detroit defensive line, led by Ndamukong Suh, had its best game of the season against the Bears in September.
Suh said this week that he wanted to face Cutler because he wants to go against the best -- a message his teammates echoed throughout the week. Now, they'll get it. Suh in particular has had success against the Bears in his career, having five sacks in seven games.
Keep the short/long game going: Detroit has been at its most effective when it has had a mostly healthy Reggie Bush and Calvin Johnson on the field at the same time. The Johnson/Bush combination becomes a difficult matchup for teams who want to double Johnson or roll a safety his way on most plays. That leaves a softer front for Bush to deal with, either rushing the ball or with screens. With Lance Briggs also out, that could be even more of a problem for Chicago in dealing with Bush.
Find Joseph Fauria: The rookie tight end has been fairly quiet since his three touchdown performance against Cleveland last month, including not receiving a single target against Dallas two weeks ago. With the Bears likely focusing heavily on Johnson, and receiver Kris Durham likely more heavily noted on the scouting report, this could be a game where Fauria can finally have the breakout full-field performance he's been looking for this season.
Don't buy the hype: This is, no doubt, a big game for Detroit. If the Lions win on Sunday, it gives them a good position over the Bears in the overall playoff picture (both divisional race and wild card) since they would hold all tiebreakers against their rival. And Detroit has done well with breaking streaks this season, save the epically long losing streak in Green Bay.
Detroit hasn't won in Chicago since 2007, also the last time the Lions swept the season series against the Bears. This season's Lions have the offensive capability to hang with any team in the league, except, maybe, Denver. But Detroit needs its defense to play more at the level it played against the Bears in the first meeting, instead of at other points this season when it has struggled because of a tendency to allow big pass plays.

The Seattle Mariners made some noisy free-agent signings early in the winter but have since quieted down, just like the rest of the baseball world, which is waiting on pins and needles to hear who remaining top prize Masahiro Tanaka will play for.
Even though the M's signed a couple of big names, there are still holes in the roster that need to be filled before the season begins.
There's still no third starter, and the back of the rotation is full of young arms with barely a full season under their collective belts.
The bullpen needs a lot of help, evidenced by the unit's abysmal ERA from a season ago.
The situation at catcher is still muddy following the demotion and suspension of Jesus Montero.
All that being said, here are the top free agents the Mariners can bring in for Spring Training.
All statistical information was obtained via ESPN.com, baseball-reference.com and fangraphs.com.

Here are the latest performer, and the scaly friends that he brought with him.
A tortoise grazing in Moscow's East City Park isn't something that you see every day. But during this week's edition of Entertainment in the Park, the area transformed into a reptile petting zoo.
"Interesting," a girl said.
"We target to families, but we're trying to provide entertainment for the entire community at the same time," said Latah County Libraries Youth Services Librarian Jacki Fulwood.
Scott Petersen, also known as The Reptile Man, and his cold-blooded assistants provided this week's entertainment.
"Well they call me The Reptile Man, but I run a reptile zoo in Monroe, Washington," said Petersen.
He travels the Northwest, teaching kids that there's no need to fear reptiles.
"These animals are very shy creatures, and they're actually good for people," said Petersen.
As it turns out, reptiles are friendlier than you might think. Boa constrictors have never killed a human.
"Snakes don't chase people," said Petersen. "They're afraid of you. And so you don't need to kill them. Snakes eat rats and mice, and that saves our grain like wheat and corn and rice."
Despite the snake's agricultural benefits, the kids favored the alligator.
"Because it has a weird face," said attendee Emerson Snyder.
"It's kind of sandy when I touch it," said a young girl.
"I learned that they're not scared than I thought," said a young girl.
The Entertainment in the Park performances are held on Thursday nights at 6:00 p.m., but there are only two more weeks left before the series ends for the year.

John and Jenny Deaves reunited 30 years after Mr Deaves separated from Jenny's mother.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.com.au ...
She is her sister's mother. She is her own aunt. Interesting.
A logical extension of gay marriage rights.
Looking at the two of them, they had very limited options within the species.
Send treats to the troops...
Great because you did it!
Coming soon, something I cant spell ... but all three should be happy :)
LOL.They should have gone outside the species.
Oh, many, many years ago
When I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
For my daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter
Though it really brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy
This little baby then became
A brother-in-law to Dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle
Then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
WHo of course is my step-mother
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
Oh, I'm my own grandpa
My father's wife then had a son
Who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild
For he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife
She's my grandmother too
Now if my wife is my grandmother
Then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it
It nearly drives me wild
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandma
I am my own grandpa
Pass the puke bucket, please.
Ewww...just frackin Ewwww...
Consenting adults in private, so the argument goes.
Yes, I do see a family resemblance.......
I wish I hadn't read that article.
I need to go wash my brain out now.
hidden cameras ?
Welcome to Woop-Woop. A movie which defines this situation, by location as well.
Do the father(s) of Ms. Deaves's other children have an opinion on the matter?
Does the state have an opinion as to whether the Deaveses are fit parents?
Because I sure do. That little baby needs to be somewhere else.
When the relationship should end, does that mean child-child support though?
I dunno,looks like somebody in their family tree already did...
That is hysterical!
If so, I pity the poor officer wh has to watch that footage.
You guys are brutal. IMHO those two look like the average person within their age demographic. Did you ever see "the beautiful people" our culture parades in front of our faces without makeup, personal trainers, Gucci clothes, and at 7:00AM?
The least of the worries this woman has is whether or not he's going to bail on her and her sister-daughter like he did on her mom.
What about the lesbian couple the conspired to create a daughter who'd be deaf at birth (genetic disability)?
I think the first time they tried they had a deaf son and they gave it another try.
PBS did a documentary about them.
Amen. Compassionate love. Classic case of the good with the bad.
I wonder...do those who think oppposing gay marriage means you're a bigot have anything to say about this?
Are they SURE he was the father of the woman on the right? That looks like Webb Hubble's genes.
officer: "hey sarge, who is gonna watch the monitor of the hidden cameras over at the deavers ?"
sergeant: "let the new guy do it."
They should be careful of wild dingo.
Hey I can't see nuthin' wrong wit it.
No, me neither.
Dude, you're insane or forgetting the sarcasm tag. This is a perfect example of what's really meant by the word "perversion." They've taken two relationships meant to be beautiful and twisted them like a pretzel for their own gratification.
Big deal. This practice is one more sexual preference to the enlightened progressives in San Francisco. Shortly, they will be asking for corporate sponsorship to support the lifestyle of such preferences.

Reviews of subsidised bus services, our bus tender awards and strategies on the public bus services.
Bus strategy
Buses are at the heart of our second Local Transport Plan [1]. The Bus strategy (pdf format, 2.3 MB) [2]
builds upon our past success of enabling and encouraging a growth in bus use.
It describes how we create the conditions in which commercial bus services can thrive, whilst ensuring that subsidised services are provided where necessary to supplement the commercial network, which best meet local needs and provide best value for money.
Information strategy for bus services
The Transport Act 2000 gave local authorities powers to determine the type of information about local bus services which should be available, and how it should be made available. Our first Information Strategy came into force in January 2003, and has since been updated in line with our Local Transport Plan.
We work closely with operators to ensure that good information is provided for all services and that the requirements of the strategy are met.
- Information strategy for bus services - main report (pdf format, 149 KB) [3]
- Annex 1 (pdf format, 47 KB) [4]
- Annex 2 (pdf format, 388 KB) [5]
You can download a copy above, or purchase a copy by contacting the Public Transport Development Officer [6].
Bus tender awards
In accordance with the Transport Act 1985, we make the results of our bus tender awards available to the public. Recent awards are available to download below:
- May 2015 (pdf format, 164Kb) [7]
- June 2014 (pdf format, 225Kb) [8]
- November 2013 (pdf format, 187Kb) [9]
- June 2013 (pdf format, 298Kb) [10]
- November 2012 (pdf format, 176Kb) [11]
If you require copies of older awards please contact us [12].
Quality bus partnerships
Ensuring that we work with local bus companies to offer the best possible bus services.
What are quality bus partnerships for?
Under the Transport Act 2000 and Local Transport Act 2008, such partnerships can be arranged to ensure that our role as the provider of high quality infrastructure, and the bus operators' role of providing high quality bus services, is combined in the most effective way possible to achieve this goal, without the need for public subsidy for bus services.
We share a common goal with bus operators of increasing the number of passengers, improving public transport punctuality and minimising the environmental impact of bus services.
Quality bus partnership agreement in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire County Council has worked in partnership with bus operators for many years. There have been regular partnership meetings at a senior level for over 15 years, and two previous quality partnership agreements, in 1998 and 2006 respectively.
