Welcome to Manor Field Junior School
Developing confident, responsible learners…
As headteacher, I am proud to tell you about our school where a commitment to Rights, Respect and Responsibility underpin all of our work. I can only offer you a snap shot so please do make an appointment to visit us so you can see our school at work.
Ofsted visited our school in September 2018 and agreed with our judgements that we are a good school. To access a copy of our full report, please click here.
We value pupil participation in every aspect of our school day and when you visit, you will see this evident in every classroom. What you will notice is pupils engaged in a range of activities, sometimes working collaboratively, at other times with independence and at all times within a calm, purposeful and hardworking environment. Behaviour is good and if you talk to our pupils, their pride in their school is clear.
We believe that our pupils have much to offer and have high expectations for them.
We expect all of our pupils to be involved in decision making .This may include involvement in reviewing the policies which affect them, such as the anti-bullying policy. It also includes planning aspects of the curriculum and even risk assessment. Our pupils are brilliant at this and take their roles seriously; we believe that our pupils have much to offer and have high expectations for them as responsible citizens who contribute to school life as well as to wider world issues.
We use our local environment as a stimulus for much of our learning and embed into our work a pride in Basingstoke and its facilities.
Our curriculum is based on an integrated approach to learning where themes provide a basis for teaching National Curriculum objectives. Children learn best when work is based on first hand experience; links are made across subjects and we welcome many visitors to school - some international - to see this in action. In addition, we use our local environment as a stimulus for much of our learning and embed into our work a pride in Basingstoke and its facilities. You can find out more details in our curriculum section but, when you visit Manor Field, the children's work will demonstrate the high quality learning and pride in presentation.
Parents are a valued and important part of our school community.
As a team, we are currently working to develop the attributes of "The Manor Field" learner so that academic achievement is supported by key skills required for the future. If your child comes home and tells you they have been resilient or curious today, please congratulate them and ask them to tell you how they demonstrated this!
Parents are a valued and important part of our school community, and we involve parents in all aspects of school life. Our Open Days provide a brilliant opportunity for parents to find out how their child is learning and are superbly supported by parents, grandparents and siblings.
There is so much more I can tell you about Manor Field Junior School: our superb learning environment (including outside learning), excellent displays of children's work and, most importantly, a team of excellent teachers and support staff. However, please do come and see us first hand.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — An army general's concern that officials are at risk of assassination if they oppose President Yoweri Museveni's alleged plan to have his son succeed him has stirred controversy in Uganda because it challenges the popular view of Museveni as a moderate leader, analysts said Tuesday.
Police continued their search Tuesday of a daily newspaper's offices to find Gen. David Sejusa's provocative letter, which the publication printed. The Kampala newspaper was raided on Monday by police who searched for evidence against Sejusa, who recently urged an investigation into reports that officials could be assassinated for opposing the rise of Museveni's son.
Museveni, who has held power in the East African country for nearly three decades, has been a successful politician in part because many here praise him for leading Uganda to stability after a succession of brutal leaders since independence in 1962.
At stake in the unfolding fallout from Sejusa's letter is what Museveni feels is his legacy as a moderate who tamed what used to be a troublesome military and ushered in an electoral democracy, said Charles Rwomushana, a former intelligence official who worked in the president's office.
In the days since Sejusa's concerns were published in the Daily Monitor, detectives have searched the general's house and office, arresting four of his aides. Sejusa, who is traveling in London, has postponed his trip home so that his legal term prepares for any potential cases against him, according to his lawyer, Joseph Luzige.
Rwomushana said Museveni "has cast himself as different from past regimes," while Sejusa's letter encourages a new perspective on Museveni's record in that regard. "Sejusa crossed a red line," he said. "In effect, Sejusa was asking for Museveni to be investigated."
Rumors that Museveni is grooming his son, a senior army officer named Muhoozi Kainerugaba, as a future president have been around for years, fueled in part by Kainerugaba's meteoric rise in the military. But no official until Sejusa had ever publicly raised concerns.
His letter to the internal security service was leaked to the Daily Monitor, an independent daily frequently criticized by Museveni as biased against him.
As the police build their case against Sejusa, they have sought the cooperation of the newspaper's journalists who wrote or edited the story. News editor Alex Atuhaire said police want the newspaper to reveal the source of the letter.
Uganda's army code of conduct bars serving army officers from speaking to journalists without official authorization. If the police can prove that Sejusa himself leaked the letter, the apparent aim of the Daily Monitor raid, he could face court martial and jail.
Sejusa, a decorated hero of the bush war that brought Museveni to power in 1986, has a history of standing up to the president. In the 1990s he tried and failed to quit the army after accusing the top leadership of incompetence against the fugitive warlord Joseph Kony. Since then he has been largely disgruntled, said Nicholas Opiyo, a prominent Ugandan lawyer and political analyst.
Opiyo said the succession debate provoked by Sejusa is unwelcome at a time when Museveni is trying to reassert his authority as rival centers of power form within his party. Such a debate, he said, makes Museveni look weak at a time when he needs to project strength.
"They want to stifle the succession debate," he said. "My reading is that there is a deliberate effort at avoiding a discussion of the issues the general raises in his letter."
Museveni has recently seen his authority challenged by some within his party amid uncertainty if he will run again in 2016. Gilbert Bukenya, a former vice president, announced this month he will run for president in 2016, while Rebecca Kadaga, the parliament speaker, has resisted pressure to have the seats of four independent-minded lawmakers declared vacant after their expulsion from the ruling party.
Even Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, a politician once close to Museveni, is widely believed to have lost favor with the president because of his apparent presidential ambitions. In his letter alleging a secret succession plan, Sejusa cited himself, Mbabazi and army chief Gen. Aronda Nyakairima among those who could be killed for opposing the rise of Museveni's son.
Some government officials now say Sejusa may be positioning himself to become the leader of those senior army officers who are disenchanted with Museveni's long stay in power and unhappy with the suggestions that Kainerugaba is being groomed for president. Frank Tumwebaze, a government minister who speaks for Museveni, has said Sejusa has "clear presidential ambitions." The military's leadership has said Sejusa's letter is full of opposition propaganda.
Last year Kainerugaba was made a brigadier in changes that also saw him take full charge of the country's special forces, an elite unit within the military that protects the president and guards national assets such as oil fields. "Kainerugaba will almost certainly be promoted to general within the next two years," wrote the global intelligence think tank Stratfor in February.
If that happens, he will be at the same rank as Sejusa.

Twelve-year-old singer-songwriter Grace VanderWaal won the 11th season of "America's Got Talent" in the live finale Wednesday on NBC, taking home the $1 million prize.
The New York native broke down in tears, and judge Howie Mandel told her, "You are a shooting star."
The show's final five acts, who rose above this season's slate of comedians, dancers, singers, impressionists and more, were singers VanderWaal, Sal Valentinetti and Brian Justin Crum, and magicians Jon Dorenbos — also a Philadelphia Eagles player — and the Clairvoyants.
U.S. & World
The Clairvoyants were the runners-up, while Dorenbos finished third.
A multi-instrumentalist who favors the ukelele, VanderWaal's audition performance of an original composition earned high praise from judge Simon Cowell, who called her "the next Taylor Swift." The performance quickly went viral.
The finale, shot at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, featured performances from each of the top 10 finalists, plus appearances from Stevie Nicks, Paula Abdul and Broadway's Jersey Boys.
Nicks performed after VanderWaal on Wednesday night, and said the girl reminds her of herself.
Nicks said she likes to be "weird and different," and noted that VanderWaal had that same quality: "She's got it, she's got that. So whatever happens, Grace is going to the top."

Part IV - Discovery and Hearing Preparation Procedures
5 VAC 5-20-240. Prepared testimony and exhibits.
Following the filing of an application dependent upon complicated or technical proof,
the commission may direct the applicant to prepare and file the testimony and exhibits
by which the applicant expects to establish its case. In all proceedings in which
an applicant is required to file testimony, respondents shall be permitted and may
be directed by the commission or hearing examiner to file, on or before a date certain,
testimony and exhibits by which they expect to establish their case. Any respondent
that chooses not to file testimony and exhibits by that date may not thereafter
present testimony or exhibits except by leave of the commission, but may otherwise
fully participate in the proceeding and engage in cross-examination of the testimony
and exhibits of commission staff and other parties. The commission staff also shall
file testimony and exhibits when directed to do so by the commission. Failure to
comply with the directions of the commission, without good cause shown, may result
in rejection of the testimony and exhibits by the commission. With leave of the
commission and unless a timely objection is made, the commission staff or a party
may correct or supplement any prepared testimony and exhibits before or during the
hearing. In all proceedings, all evidence must be verified by the witness before
introduction into the record, and the admissibility of the evidence shall be subject
to the same standards as if the testimony were offered orally at hearing, unless,
with the consent of the commission, the staff and all parties stipulate the introduction
of testimony without need for verification. An original and 15 copies of prepared
testimony and exhibits shall be filed unless otherwise specified in the commission's
scheduling order and public notice, or unless the testimony and exhibits are filed
electronically and otherwise comply with these rules. Documents of unusual bulk
or weight and physical exhibits other than documents need not be filed in advance,
but shall be described and made available for pretrial examination.
5 VAC 5-20-250. Process, witnesses, and production of documents
and things.
A. Subpoenas. Commission staff and any party to a proceeding shall be entitled to
process, to convene parties, to compel the attendance of witnesses, and to compel
the production of books, papers, documents, or things provided in this rule.
B. Commission issuance and enforcement of other regulatory agency subpoenas. Upon
motion by commission staff counsel, the commission may issue and enforce subpoenas
at the request of a regulatory agency of another jurisdiction if the activity for
which the information is sought by the other agency, if occurring in the Commonwealth,
would be a violation of the laws of the Commonwealth that are administered by the
commission. A motion requesting the issuance of a commission subpoena shall include:
1. A copy of the original subpoena issued by the regulatory agency to the named
2. An affidavit of the requesting agency administrator stating the basis for the
issuance of the subpoena under that state's laws; and
3. A memorandum from the commission's corresponding division director providing
the basis for the issuance of the commission subpoena.
C. Document subpoenas. In a pending proceeding, at the request of commission staff
or any party, the Clerk of the Commission shall issue a subpoena. When a matter
is under investigation by commission staff, before a formal proceeding has been
established, whenever it appears to the commission by affidavit filed with the Clerk
of the Commission by the commission staff or an individual, that a book, writing,
document, or thing sufficiently described in the affidavit, is in the possession,
or under the control, of an identified person and is material and proper to be produced,
the commission may order the Clerk of the Commission to issue a subpoena and to
have the subpoena duly served, together with an attested copy of the commission's
order compelling production at a reasonable place and time as described in the commission's
D. Witness subpoenas. In a pending proceeding, at the request of commission staff
or any party, the Clerk of the Commission shall issue a subpoena.
5 VAC 5-20-260. Interrogatories or requests for production of
documents and things.
The commission staff and any party in a formal proceeding before the commission,
other than a proceeding under 5VAC5-20-100 A, may serve written interrogatories
or requests for production of documents upon a party, to be answered by the party
served, or if the party served is an entity, by an officer or agent of the entity,
who shall furnish to the staff or requesting party information as is known. Interrogatories
or requests for production of documents, including workpapers pursuant to 5VAC5-20-270,
that cannot be timely answered before the scheduled hearing date may be served only
with leave of the commission for good cause shown and upon such conditions as the
commission may prescribe. Such otherwise untimely interrogatories or requests for
production of documents, including workpapers pursuant to 5VAC5-20-270, may not
be served until such leave is granted. Interrogatories or requests for production
of documents may be served upon a member of the commission staff, or an expert or
consultant filing testimony on behalf of the commission staff, in a proceeding under
5 VAC 5-20-80 to discover: (i) factual information that supports the workpapers
submitted by the staff pursuant to 5VAC5-20-270, including electronic spreadsheets
that include underlying formulas and assumptions; (ii) any other documents relied
upon as a basis for recommendations or assertions in prefiled testimony, staff reports
or exhibits filed by staff, or by an expert or consultant filing testimony on behalf
of the staff; or (iii) the identity of other formal proceedings in which an expert
or consultant filing testimony on behalf of the staff testified regarding the same
or a substantially similar subject matter. The disclosure of communications within
the commission shall not be required and, except for good cause shown, no interrogatories
or requests for production of documents may be served upon a member of the commission
staff, or an expert or consultant filing testimony on behalf of the staff, prior
to the filing of staff's testimony. All interrogatories and requests for production
of documents shall be filed with the Clerk of the Commission. Responses to interrogatories
and requests for production of documents shall not be filed with the Clerk of the
The response to each interrogatory or document request shall identify by name the
person making the response. Any objection to an interrogatory or document request
shall identify the interrogatory or document request to which the objection is raised,
and shall state with specificity the basis and supporting legal theory for the objection.
Objections shall be served with the list of responses or in such manner as the commission
may designate by order. Responses and objections to interrogatories or requests
for production of documents shall be served within 10 days of receipt, unless otherwise
ordered by the commission. Upon motion promptly made and accompanied by a copy of
the interrogatory or document request and the response or objection that is subject
to the motion, the commission will rule upon the validity of the objection; the
objection otherwise will be considered sustained.
Interrogatories or requests for production of documents may relate to any matter
not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved, including the
existence, description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any books, documents,
or other tangible things, and the identity and location of persons having knowledge
of evidentiary value. It is not grounds for objection that the information sought
will be inadmissible at the hearing if the information appears reasonably calculated
to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
Where the response to an interrogatory or document request may only be derived or
ascertained from the business records of the party questioned, from an examination,
audit, or inspection of business records, or from a compilation, abstract, or summary
of business records, and the burden of deriving or ascertaining the response is
substantially the same for one entity as for the other, a response is sufficient
if it (i) identifies by name and location all records from which the response may
be derived or ascertained; and (ii) tenders to the inquiring party reasonable opportunity
to examine, audit, or inspect the records subject to objection as to their proprietary
or confidential nature. The inquiring party bears the expense of making copies,
compilations, abstracts, or summaries.
5 VAC 5-20-270. Hearing preparation.
In a formal proceeding, a party or the commission staff may serve on a party a request
to examine the workpapers supporting the testimony or exhibits of a witness whose
prepared testimony has been filed in accordance with 5 VAC 5-20-240. The movant
may request abstracts or summaries of the workpapers, and may request copies of
the workpapers upon payment of the reasonable cost of duplication or reproduction.
Copies requested by the commission staff shall be furnished without payment of copying
costs. In actions pursuant to 5 VAC 5-20-80 A, the commission staff shall, upon
the filing of its testimony, exhibits, or report, provide (in either paper or electronic
format) a copy of any workpapers that support the recommendations made in its testimony
or report to any party upon request and may additionally file a copy of such workpapers
with the Clerk of the Commission. The Clerk of the Commission shall make any filed
workpapers available for public inspection and copying during regular business hours.
5 VAC 5-20-280. Discovery in 5 VAC-5-20-90 proceedings.
This rule applies only to a proceeding in which a defendant is subject to a monetary
penalty or injunction, or revocation, cancellation, or curtailment of a license,
certificate of authority, registration, or similar authority previously issued by
the commission to the defendant:
1. Discovery of material in possession of the commission staff. Upon written motion
of the defendant, the commission shall permit the defendant to inspect and, at the
defendant's expense, copy or photograph (exclusive of investigative notes): (i)
any relevant written or recorded statements, the existence of which is known, after
reasonable inquiry, by the commission staff counsel assigned to the matter to be
within the custody, possession, or control of commission staff, made by (a) the
defendant, or representatives or agents of the defendant if the defendant is other
than an individual, or (b) any witness whom the commission staff intends, or does
not intend, to call to testify at the hearing, to a commission staff member or law
enforcement officer; (ii) designated books, tangible objects, papers, documents,
or copies or portions thereof, that are within the custody, possession, or control
of commission staff and that commission staff intends to introduce into evidence
at the hearing or that the commission staff obtained for the purpose of the instant
proceeding; and (iii) the list of the witnesses that commission staff intends to
call to testify at the hearing. Upon good cause shown to protect the identity of
persons not named as a defendant, the commission or hearing examiner may direct
the commission staff to withhold disclosure of material requested under this rule.
The term "statement" as used in relation to any witness (other than a defendant)
described in clause (i) of this subdivision includes a written statement made by
said witness and signed or otherwise adopted or approved by him, and verbatim transcriptions
or recordings of a witness' statement that are made contemporaneously with the statement
by the witness.
A motion by the defendant or staff under this rule shall be filed and served at
least 30 days before the hearing date. The motion shall include all relief sought.
A subsequent motion may be made only upon a showing of cause as to why the motion
would be in the interest of justice. An order or ruling granting relief under this
rule shall specify the time, place, and manner of making discovery and inspection
permitted, and may prescribe such terms and conditions as the commission may determine.
Upon written motion of the commission staff, staff may also obtain the list of witnesses
that the defendant intends to call to testify at the hearing, and inspect, copy,
and photograph, at commission staff's expense, the evidence that the defendant intends
to introduce into evidence at the hearing.
The commission staff and the defendant shall be required to produce the information
described above as directed by the commission or hearing examiner, but not later
than 10 days prior to the scheduled hearing; and the admission of any additional
evidence not provided in accordance herewith shall not be denied solely on the basis
that it was not produced timely, provided the additional evidence was produced to
commission staff or the defendant as soon as practicable prior to the hearing, or
prior to the introduction of such evidence at the hearing. The requirement to produce
the information described in this section shall be in addition to any requirement
by commission staff or the defendant to timely respond to an interrogatory or document
request made pursuant to 5VAC5-20-260.
Nothing in this rule shall require the disclosure of any information, the disclosure
of which is prohibited by statute or other legal privilege. The disclosure of the
results of a commission staff investigation or work product of commission staff
counsel shall not be required.
2. Depositions. After commencement of a proceeding to which this rule applies, the
commission staff or a party may take the testimony of (i) a party, or (ii) a person
not a party for good cause shown to the commission or hearing examiner, other than
a member of the commission staff, by deposition on oral examination or by written
questions. Depositions may be used for any purpose for which they may be used in
the courts of record of the Commonwealth. Except where the commission or hearing
examiner finds that an emergency exists, no deposition may be taken later than 10
days in advance of the formal hearing. The attendance of witnesses at depositions
may be compelled by subpoena. Examination and cross-examination of the witness shall
be as at hearing. Depositions may be taken in the City of Richmond or in the town,
city, or county in which the deposed person resides, is employed, or does business.
The parties and the commission staff, by agreement, may designate another place
for the taking of the deposition. Reasonable notice of the intent to take a deposition
must be given in writing to the commission staff counsel and to each party to the
action, stating the time and place where the deposition is to be taken. A deposition
may be taken before any person (the "officer") authorized to administer oaths by
the laws of the jurisdiction in which the deposition is to be taken. The officer
shall certify his authorization in writing, administer the oath to the deponent,
record or cause to be recorded the testimony given, and note any objections raised.
In lieu of participating in the oral examination, a party or the commission staff
may deliver sealed written questions to the officer, who shall propound the questions
to the witness. The officer may terminate the deposition if convinced that the examination
is being conducted in bad faith or in an unreasonable manner. Costs of the deposition
shall be borne by the party noticing the deposition, unless otherwise ordered by
the commission.
3. Requests for admissions. The commission staff or a party to a proceeding may
serve upon a party written requests for admission. Each matter on which an admission
is requested shall be stated separately. A matter shall be deemed admitted unless
within 21 days of the service of the request, or some other period the commission
may designate, the party to whom the request is directed serves upon the requesting
party a written answer addressing or objecting to the request. The response shall
set forth in specific terms a denial of the matter set forth or an explanation as
to the reasons the responding party cannot truthfully admit or deny the matter set
forth. Requests for admission shall be filed with the Clerk of the Commission and
simultaneously served on commission staff counsel and on all parties to the proceeding.

For Immediate Release
Wednesday, September 29, 2011
Wednesday, September 29, 2011
Summer is ending, and with the advent of fall we are drawing that much closer to the early-bird deadline for registration to the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG). It's only a month away! If you register for SLIG after October 30, 2011 you will pay an increase of $50 ($400 for UGA members and $450 for non-members). The current registration cost is only $350 for UGA members and $400 for non-members. To register visit www.slig.ugagenealogy.org.
Often genealogists are self-taught and gain most of our knowledge from books like Professional Genealogy and The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy. But there are always gaps in any self-taught knowledge base. The Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy is designed to help fill in those gaps. Whether you are taking Paula Stuart-Warren's American Records course to cement your basic and intermediate knowledge, or one of our more specialized courses—Advanced Land Records or Original Source Repositories for example—to take your research to the next level.
Sometimes our research takes us to new countries and may even introduce us to records in new languages. At these times a knowledgeable guide can shave years off your learning curve. This year we are immersing students in four highly specialized areas: Welsh Research, Swedish Research, Midwestern Research, and Genealogical Librarianship. You may not think those last two require specialized knowledge, but have you ever tried to research in the Ohio Military Districts? Kory Meyerink sure has and he can guide you past the land mines. Drew Smith will help genealogical librarians learn how to best aid their patrons in their research adventures.
We are also offering a first-rate technology course with expert George G. Morgan. More and more we are seeing the genealogical arean transformed by technology--blogs, relational database software, online record collections, etc.--and it can be difficult to keep up. George G. Morgan will guide students past the pitfalls to a successful tech.
It's especially important to register now if you want to take the Problem Solving course. The project submission is also due by October 30, 2011 and no registrations will be taken after that point (unless special permission is granted from the coordinator).
The Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy will be held January 23, 2012–January 27, 2012 with a welcome social the evening of January 22, 2012. The Plenary Session will be presented Monday, January 23, 2012, at 7:00 PM by Thomas W. Jones. The topic is "The Genealogical Proof Standard: What It Is and What It Is Not" and is free to the public. A banquet will be held to honor graduates on Friday, January 27, 2012 at 7:00 PM. Awards will be presented at the banquet, including the prestigious Fellow of the Utah Genealogical Association (FUGA); Lou Szoucs will present the banquet program, subject TBD.
We will again be offering evening sessions. These sessions are open to both registrants and the public for $10/each. For a full schedule visit our website. Due to their smashing success in 2011 we will again offer vendor lunches Monday through Thursday. A standard lunch hour will facilitate these lunches and ensure students are able to attend without disrupting their regular class schedule. The vendor lunch schedule is available online and tickets can be purchased through the SLIG registration process.
We highly recommend staying at the conference hotel, the downtown Salt Lake City Radisson. The rate is $85/night for single or double occupancy; The UGA rate is available from January 19, 2012–January 30, 2012. RootsTech begins February 2, 2012 and also has a dedicated rate at the Radisson as well. If you are staying through both conferences please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line SLIG/RootsTech Hotel and the dates you are staying to ensure your hotel reservations are processed correctly. Book your SLIG reservation at http://www.radisson.com/uga.

Witness: Bloodcurdling screams before Pistorius shooting
- Athlete called %22Blade Runner%22 is charged with shooting girlfriend in bathroom of his home
- Pistorius claims he thought model Reeva Steencamp was an intruder
- Shooting on Valentine%27s Day 2013 has captivated South Africa
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – A witness at Oscar Pistorius' murder trial testified Monday she heard "bloodcurdling screams" from a woman and then shots, the first testimony in the trial of the Olympic runner.
"I heard her voice during the shots," said neighbor Michele Burger, a University of Pretoria economics professor.
Pistorius, who shot his girlfriend Reeva Steencamp on Valentine's Day 2013, says he thought she was a burglar when he fired at her. If convicted, the venerated athlete and a double amputee, faces life in prison.
Burger told the Pretoria court she was suddenly woken by a women screaming at 3 a.m.
"I was still sitting in the bed and I heard her screams," Burger said. "She screamed for help. Then I also heard a man screaming for help — three times he yelled for help. I heard the screams again (and) it was more intense… she was very scared."
"After, I heard four shots. Four gun shots — bang, bang, bang, bang."
Pistorius has pleaded not guilty to all four charges against him: murder, two charges relating to discharge of a firearm in a public place and one charge of illegal possession of ammunition.
South Africans were shocked last year when Pistorius, one of the country's most famous athletes, was charged with shooting his model girlfriend four times through a toilet door with a pistol.
The case has created a sensation here where Pistorius, known as "Blade Runner" for his carbon-fiber prosthetic legs, is among the most famous athletes in the country.
"I don't know whether the judge will find Oscar guilty or not," said said Silindile Nyathikazi, a 26-year-old media relations manager. "I think there are still a lot of unanswered questions with regards to what happened that night."
Pistorius arrived in North Gauteng High Court wearing a dark gray suit and black tie. Before the trial started he walked past the victim's mother who says she came to court so she can "really look him in the eyes."
Defense lawyer Kenny Oldwadge said in his opening statement that the killing was an accident and that there were inconsistencies in the state's case, as well as an attempt to introduce inadmissible character evidence to discredit him.
He said Pistorius brought two fans in from the balcony on the night of the killing, after speaking to his girlfriend who was in bed beside him. He said Steenkamp must have gone into the bathroom while Pistorious was fetching the fans. Pistorius said he did not notice that she had gone and heard the bathroom window open.
"I approached the bathroom, armed with my firearm, so as to defend Reeva and I," Pistorius said in the statement that was read by his lawyer.
He said he then heard a noise in the toilet, and was in a "fearful state" because he was unable to run away or defend himself physically since he was not wearing his prostheses.
However, the prosecution says some people heard arguing before the shots. But Pistorious' lawyer said that claim was an "unsubstantiated" allegation. According to Pistorius' statement, other neighbors living nearby said they had not heard any argument.
The trial has riveted the attention of the country, Until last week, it was not clear if the trial would be broadcast because the judge felt TV cameras would be a "potentially distracting feature" to witnesses and interfere with a right to a fair trial.
But the judge relented and said some of the proceedings will only broadcast and other portions he said would only be made available to the public via audio.
"This is a big mess, it's huge, but I think if he is guilty he must go to jail," said Nthabiseng Mahlangu, 25, an office administrator.
"Some say he is disabled or he was under the influence, but why should he be set free?"
Others believed he was not entirely at fault.
"I feel sorry for the guy maybe he was on drugs or alcohol or something but I feel like he is showing remorse," said Helen Mokgope, a 53-year-old office cleaner.
The trial is expected to last about three weeks. Pistorius remains free on bail.

Johnny Acosta and Celso Borges scored as Costa Rica burst ahead in the first 9 minutes, Joel Campbell added a goal on a late counterattack, and the Ticos beat the visiting United States 3-1 in a World Cup qualifier Friday night at San Jose.
Clint Dempsey, making his 100th international appearance, converted a penalty kick in the 43rd minute for the U.S. and nearly tied the score with a 20-yard shot off a post in the 60th minute.
Avenging a March loss to the U.S. in a Colorado snow storm, Costa Rica ended the Americans' team-record 12-game winning streak.
The Ticos (4-1-2) moved into first place in the final round of qualifying in North and Central America and the Caribbean with 14 points, one ahead of the U.S. (4-2-1) with three games remaining. Honduras (3-3-1) is third with 10 points after a shocking 2-1 win at Mexico (1-2-5), which is fourth with eight points. Panama (1-1-4) is another point back after behind held to a 0-0 tie at home by last-place Jamaica (0-4-3).
The top three nations qualify for next year's 32-team field in Brazil, and the fourth-place finisher goes to a playoff against New Zealand for another berth.
Despite dropping to 0-8-2 in Costa Rica, the Americans could clinch their seventh straight World Cup berth when they host Mexico on Tuesday night in Columbus, Ohio. Jozy Altidore, Geoff Cameron, Matt Besler will miss the match after getting their second yellow cards in qualifying — Altidore for a shove of Michael Umana in front of Mexican referee Marco Rodriguez during second-half injury time.
Midfielder Michael Bradley also figures to miss the Mexico match. Originally in the starting lineup, Bradley limped off the field during warmups because of a sprained left ankle and was on crutches at the bench during the game.
Dempsey became the 14th U.S. player to make 100 international appearances and started together with Landon Donovan for the first time since June 2012. Michael Orozco started at right back, his first qualifying appearance since Oct. 15, 2008, against Trinidad and Tobago.
The game was played at 2-year-old Estadio Nacional, which has grass and a running track keeping fans far from the field. Previous qualifiers against the U.S. were at Estadio Saprissa, which has artificial turf and fans right near the sidelines.
Costa Rica attacked from the start, and U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard had to sprawl 85 seconds in to deflect an open 8-yard shot from Bryan Ruiz.
Campbell's inswinging corner kick in the second minute went to the near post, where Acosta outjumped Dempsey and sent a header in off the head of DaMarcus Beasley, who wasn't tight enough on the post. It was the first international goal for the 30-year-old Acosta.
Christian Bolanos then sent a long cross around Omar Gonzalez from Costa Rica's left flank, and Borges climbed over Beasley for a header to Howard's right from 6 yards.
Overwhelmed for the first 25 minutes, the U.S. started to gain some possession thanks to Donovan and Fabian Johnson. The penalty kick came when Graham Zusi played a long ball into the penalty area in the 41st minute, and goalkeeper Keylor Navas tripped up Johnson.
Dempsey's hard shot on the penalty kick went in off Navas' body for his 36th international goal.
The U.S. dominated possession in the second half as it searched for the tying goal. Altidore didn't start after injuring his right hamstring during training with Sunderland but entered in the 71st. 13 minutes after Eddie Johnson.
Costa Rica scored the final goal after Altidore's shot was blocked by the defense. Jose Miguel Cubero played a long ball to Campbell, who held off Besler and slotted the ball through Howard.

Finally it's spring. That means baseball, hay fever and the start of painting season.
"May through September are the biggest months for paint sales," says Mark Sposito, vice president of marketing for Sherwin-Williams' Eastern Division. As temperatures rise, so do the number of home painting projects, he notes.
The Sherwin-Williams paint factory on Hollins Ferry Road is operating 24 hours a day, five days a week. Soon the plant will be working around the clock on weekends as well, says plant manager Mike Levitsky.
About 120 employees work at the factory making the paint that covers HGTV dream homes, M&T Bank Stadium, Oriole Park, the Bay Bridge and even the white and yellow lines on Maryland highways. It is one of the largest Sherwin-Williams paint-production plants in the United States, Levitsky says.
Located on nearly 23 acres in Southwest Baltimore, the plant turns out 150,000 gallons of paint a day under the Sherwin-Williams, Duron, HGTV Home, Dutch Boy and Martin-Senour brands.
Satin is the most popular finish for interior paints, but favorite colors vary from region to region, Sposito says. In the East the favorite is Powder Blue; in urban areas, it is Amazing Gray. The Northwest is partial to Melange Green and the Southeast to Watery. In the Midwest, the most popular color is Latte.
Although the recession was hard on the construction industry, the paint business fared better because homeowners still wanted to keep their homes looking nice, Sposito says. "We came out of the housing downturn quite strong," he says.
Two years ago, Sherwin-Williams decided to boost its retail sales by teaming up with HGTV to produce paint for the television network's new home products line. The paint colors are designed to complement each other and an array of other products, such as wallpaper, flooring, furniture, lighting and accessories.
"HGTV is a terrific brand," Sposito says. "Over 90 million households follow it. …They were able to bring a lot of new customers to us."
HGTV launched its home products line in 2011 as a way to extend its brand and increase revenue, says Robyn Ulrich, HGTV's senior vice president for consumer products.
"We're very picky about who we license with," she says. "We are looking for integrity and consumer trust. Some of our contracts are two to three years in the making."
Designers at the partner companies work with HGTV designer Nancy Fire for a coordinated look, Ulrich says. She describes the HGTV look as a balance between classic and modern.
"We're trying to be wide enough to get a great cross of consumers," she says. "As a young brand, we're trying to grow."
HGTV outlined its ideas for the new product line, and Sherwin-Williams designers supplied the colors. "We're the color experts," Sposito says.
The HGTV Home paint line features eight collections with 20 colors each. The collections include Coastal Cool, with blues, beiges and browns of the seashore; Global Spice, which features oranges, plums and golds; and the bolder Color Pizzazz, with bright pinks and blues. In addition to colors that complement each other, the paint is designed to be environmentally friendly.
This year's hot color is emerald green and Ulrich says she sees lots of designers using tone on tone — for example, tan on tan or green on green. The company is encouraging home owners to be bolder in their use of colors, she says.
But at the Baltimore paint factory, the color being poured into gallon cans is white. Tints are made in other facilities and are mixed in the Sherwin-Williams stores.
Paint production on the Hollins Ferry Road site goes back more than 60 years. The factory began work in 1949 as a Baltimore Paint plant and was acquired by Dutch Boy in 1977. Three years later, Sherwin-Williams bought the plant when it acquired Dutch Boy.
The paint production has not been without controversy. In October 2011 the plant reached a settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency for improperly storing hazardous waste.
"It was a labeling issue," Levitsky says. "Ever since the finding, we've been in compliance 100 percent."
Dry pigments arrive daily by truck and rail and are held in large storage silos until ready for use. The pigments are mixed with water and ground to a fine powder. The slurry is then combined with latex, anti-foamers , binders and other agents in various amounts dictated by precise formulas sent from corporate headquarters in Cleveland.
"It's like making a cake," Levitsky says.
Most of the work in the plant is automated. Shiny one-gallon cans line up on conveyer belts and march rapidly down the line as machines apply labels, pour in the paint, seal the lids and attach handles before the cans move down the line for boxing and shipping.
The factory can produce 80 cans a minute if all of the equipment is working properly.
From start to finish, the process takes about eight hours. To the untrained eye, all the paint filling the gallon containers looks simply white, but Levitsky notes, "Every paint has a different quality level."
The paint that is used to make the yellow and white stripes on a highway must be much more durable than that which coats a bedroom wall. Even the highway paint varies. Many states have their own formulas, so there is Maryland white, Connecticut white, West Virginia white, etc.
Samples of each batch of paint are analyzed in a laboratory by the plant chemist to make sure they are the proper color and consistency.
The people who work at the plant take what they do seriously, Levitsky says. When they pass by a painting project — whether on a building or a parking lot — they will note what kind of paint it is, Levitsky says.
"Paint making goes beyond the four walls," he says. "We like to see people using our brand. We take a lot of pride in what we do."
Sherwin-Williams by the numbers
8 – HGTV color collections ranging from Coastal Cool to Global Spice.
49 – The year the Baltimore paint plant at Hollins Ferry Road went into production as Baltimore Paint.
80 – Cans churned out each minute at the factory when all equipment is operating properly.
120 – Number of people employed at the Baltimore factory.
150,000 – Gallons of paint produced each day under a variety of brand names.

A personal report from the 2020 CCA Awards.
Of all the lonely ways to spend money, paying for phone sex strikes me as the most pathetic. A prostitute is really there. A phone sex companion is only a soundtrack for masturbation, and the man who needs one must have a desperate lack of imagination.
Equally depressing to me are some of the reviews received by "For a Good Time, Call…," the story of two former college enemies who team up as phone sexers and become gal pals. "Enough laughs and goodwill to be disarmingly entertaining," I read in one review. "A feel-good raunch-com," says another. I quote them as a public service, since one male reviewer thinks women could like this movie enough to come back a second time "and bring their boyfriends."
I wouldn't want to be one of those boyfriends. I'm not objecting to the movie on grounds of taste but because it is stupid, vulgar, crass and mercilessly formulaic. On second thought, maybe I am objecting on grounds of taste. It is quite possible for the vulgar to be funny, but to succeed, it must rise to a certain genius. Shortly after Mel Brooks released "The Producers" (1968), I was in an elevator with him when a woman said, "Your film was nothing but vulgar." Brooks regarded her sternly. "Madam," he said, "my film rises below vulgarity."
The story involves Lauren and Katie (Lauren Miller and Ari Graynor), who have hated each other ever since a college-party malfunction involving urine. Now Lauren is desperate when her boyfriend (James Wolk) announces he is moving to Italy and orders her to leave their apartment immediately. Meanwhile, Katie faces eviction from her late grandmother's rent-controlled luxury apartment overlooking Gramercy Park. Their needs are matched up by a mutual best friend from college named Jesse (Justin Long), who is gay, fulfilling the unwritten requirement that any male capable of being the best friend of two women at the same time must be gay, because a straight man cannot be best friends with more than one female, at most.
Even under rent control, an apartment overlooking Gramercy Park is far from cheap, and Katie has been making ends meet, so to speak, by inspiring orgasms over the phone. Lauren is shocked, but it's amazing how being a roommate can broaden your standards, and soon she graduates from doing the books to performing on the instruments herself.
We see a few of their pitiful customers, played by Seth Rogen (who is Miller's husband in real life) and Kevin Smith, who doesn't seem to require the Method to play his role. There's also a scene where Lauren's parents (Mimi Rogers and Don McManus) drop in unexpectedly and find two enormous dildos on the coffee table. At least I hope to God they're enormous. One is black and the other looks like it may have been inspired by Shrek.
The Little Movie Glossary requires that all sexcoms must end with at least one example of sincere romance. Considering that Jesse is gay, the only possible candidate for this obligatory role has to be one of the clients. I can understand sincere romance between a prostitute and a client, because, like, they're both in the room, right? But if your dating pool consists of the clients for a phone sex service, that suggests right away these guys may be lacking in social skills.
I dunno. The screenplay by Miller and Katie Anne Naylon excels in its mastery of filthy talk, which is delivered with such velocity and mastery that the movie shows every sign of considering it funny. The performances by Miller and Graynor are high-spirited enough that you yearn to see them in worthier material. The potential is there. If there's anything more seductive to Manhattanites than sex, it's a cheap apartment overlooking Gramercy Park.

Denver 16-year-old boy shot in cross-fire at park
Xavier Walker used to crack his older sister Brandis Patterson up.
There was that time when he told her the only way he could get his big head in a football helmet was to slather grease all over his hair. The way he described it, she could picture him straining to pull the helmet on. She laughed and laughed.
Xavier was somewhat of a jokester.
"He made people laugh," Brandis said.
Xavier could draw Daffy Duck and other Disney characters in such hilarious detail in his special drawing pad.
Xavier would pull the pad out and show Brandis, who was two years older. He drew elaborate drawings of super heroes of his own invention with bulging muscles.

Colorado State Rams: More on impending opening of spring football practice
My story on the Colorado State Rams heading into Tuesday's opening of spring practice is in the Sunday paper and online here.
Here's some additional material:
— Despite the departure of Kapri Bibbs, who rushed for 1,741 yards last season as a redshirt sophomore before declaring himself eligible for the NFL draft, CSU still has Donnell Alexander, who gained 428 yards, returning at running back.
"I'm a guy who historically has played three backs," said McElwain, who came to CSU after a stint as offensive coordinator at Alabama. "It's one of those deals where there's one who might end up getting more carries, but at the same time, you need to keep them fresh. In our case, we're going to experiment a little bit there, too, bringing Jasen Oden over from the defense. He played running back in both high school and prep school, and he's a guy we're going to take a look at. And we have some young guys and I know I'm excited see get off that scout team field and get an opportunity to go prove themselves and play."
Oden is a junior from Buffalo, who also attended North Carolina Tech before coming to Fort Collins.

What's it with Tim Burton and Abraham Lincoln? In his daft version of Planet of the Apes he closed with the Lincoln Memorial redone as a presidential primate.
Here, he's the producer of a film about Abe as vigilante axeman taking on Confederate vampires - ones having no problem with sunlight - intent of making slaves, and/or snacks, of everyone.
Yes, it might give a new meaning to "redneck". But other than a few action scenes heavy on digital dazzle - Russian director Bekmambetov offering up some of the quick-quick-slow tricks that impressed in his Night Watch and Day Watch supernatural flicks and Hollywood action debut Wanted - it doesn't generate as much outlandish fun as a movie with that title really should.
Why so serious? Well, maybe it's the lumpy plod of a screenplay of Seth Grahame-Smith adapting his own mash-up novel (his Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is also shuffling cinema-wards) which feels the frequent need to remind that when he wasn't dispensing the undead, the 16th president was an earnest guy with a way with words. Then again, maybe it's the lack of any distinct vampire nemesis, with the likes of our own Marton Csokas, Rufus Sewell and others crowding each other out with characters who might be evil and ravenous but who would get eaten alive most nights on True Blood.
Or maybe it's Benjamin Walker as Abe, who in his younger years resembles a young Liam Neeson before suddenly turning into the guy on the US five dollar bill.
He swings a mean silver-bladed axe, care of Bekmambetov's box of tricks, but otherwise he's just not much chop. It's a performance from the Madame Tussaud's School of Acting. He's the dull centre of film doing a halloween spin on hallowed history which should be good for a giggle or two. But for a movie so full of teeth, it doesn't offer much for one's own laughing gear.
Stars: 2/5
Cast: Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Rufus Sewell,
Director: Timur Bekmambetov
Rating: R16 (horror scenes and violence)
Running time: 105mins
Verdict: Lacks bite.

Flights & Getting Around
Africa is well served by international airlines and its gateway airports are Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. Once you've arrived, we can easily arrange a group or private transfer that will take you directly to your city hotel or we'll show you how to connect with your ongoing flights.
Our top safari destinations are usually accessed via a scheduled flight to the nearest airport and then a pre-arranged transfer to the lodge; however, private charter flights can also be arranged which will take you to the nearest airstrip, often just minutes away from camp. Have a look at our detailed Flights section for more information on airports as well as flying into and around Africa.
For the more independent-minded visitor, South Africa and Namibia are great self-drive destinations and suitable vehicles can be hired and dropped off at their major airports.
Read more about getting around Africa in our blog post: Africa Safari Vehicles - What to Expect on Your Trip.
Health & Safety
A question often asked by first-time visitors to Africa is: "is it safe?". Well, our recommended African destinations are actually some of the safest in the world and many are ideal for families travelling with children. We have many child-friendly safari lodges to offer you, malaria-free Big 5 reserves, and beach resorts with professional kids clubs. Medical facilities in Africa's cities and major tourist destinations are fine and staff at safari lodges will brief you about camp safety on arrival.
Security issues are no worse in Africa than the rest of the world: it's simply a case of using your common sense and not exposing yourself to risk. Our African Safari Experts will give you all the advice you need, and it always pays to ask for local advice once you're in Africa. Read our blog "How to Travel Safely in Africa" for more helpful tips.
One thing that you will need to take care of is any medication that's needed for your trip, whether it's malaria prophylactics or a yellow fever injection. Consult your doctor during your planning or simply check with your African Safari Expert.
Money & Spending
With ATMs and bureau de changes found throughout Africa's major towns, you can access cash pretty much anywhere. Most African countries accept US dollars as their currency of choice (as well as Euros and Sterling in some countries) but you'll need Rand (ZAR) for South Africa.
As for cards, Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted across the continent but be aware of incurring high transaction fees in certain countries. For peace of mind, we'd recommend purchasing a world currency card or cash passport card before you leave.
While tipping and gratuities are not compulsory on your African safari, they are always appreciated. Ask your African Safari Expert for details on tipping, check out our country-specific travel advice pages or simply ask your lodge manager or host on arrival.
Read more about guides and tipping protocol in our article Africa Safari Guides & Trackers.
What to Pack
Packing for Africa depends on where you're going as well as what time of the year you're travelling.
If you're going on safari, it's wise to pack decent walking shoes, light or neutral coloured clothing (not white) and a warm top or jacket for the evenings. A sunhat is vital, as are sunglasses, binoculars, a camera, spare batteries or a charger, insect repellent, sunscreen and malaria prophylactics if necessary. An international plug, small daypack and personal water bottle are also recommended.
You may also need several items of warm clothing if you're on a winter safari in places like Botswana and Namibia as night time temperatures can dip below freezing. Conversely, if you're heading off on a beach holiday then we recommend you bring along a bathing suit, sarong, wide-brimmed hat and flip-flops.
Passports & Visas
It is essential to ensure you have the right paperwork in place before flying to Africa. Generally all passports need to have a number of blank pages available while visa specifications differ depending on nationality and destination. Note that visa regulations can sometimes change without much warning.
We recommend contacting the relevant authorities in good time or simply chat to your African Safari Expert before you go - they'll have all the answers.

* Outlet malls. I went outlet mall shopping this week on my day off. It was the first time I've "outleted" in years and years. I scored some HUGE deals. Crocs for $7. Plaid shorts for the boys for $3.99. Leather dress shoes for Miles for $6. Earrings were buy 2 get 1 free at Claire's and I am the proud owner of three new pairs of earrings. Actually I am the owner of a total of three pairs of earring because I am the queen of losing one earring. I tell myself that this is why I can't have nice things and therefore still shop at Claire's as a 30 year old. I did have to dig through lots of peace sign earrings and Justin Beiber notebooks to find the perfect three pairs. I should have bought a Justin Beiber notebook while I was at it. That boy is too cute.
* Ellen. My friend Ellen is one of my favorite "by-products" of blogging. Long long ago she was a blog reader who emailed me about adoption and I wrote her back and gave her my phone number. Y'all, I give my phone number out to most everybody that emails me about adoption and in all this time, I think that only 4 people have actually ever called. Ellen was one of them. If you ask her about it, she'll say she stalked me. I think that she was just be thorough. (which is my nice way of saying that she stalked me.) She called me one day and spilled her life story to me and her three girls were screaming in the background and I loved her instantly. Then she came on the mother's retreat last year and now she is single handedly responsible for my need for unlimited text messaging. She is a true friend through and through and she is the funniest person I know in real life. She's adopted the cause of the fatherless in Congo and this week I trekked it to her town to get the 100 cans of formula that she's been collecting to get to orphanages in DRC. She and I prayed over that formula and asked God's blessing on the babies that would drink it. That formula will be making it's way to Mississippi later this week and then on to Kinshasa. How cute is Ellen posing with all that formula? Love that girl!
* Sudoku. I'm so late to the party since Sudoku was all the rage years ago- but I'm totally into it all over again. Unfortunately, my brain can only work hard enough to complete the easy level puzzles. What this really means is that I have a million Sudoku books that I can only do the first 30 pages of and the rest of the book stays blank. One day I will grow a bigger brain.
* The 5 foot chicken. Oh. My. Word. Last week, I read this blog post that is truly the funniest blog post I've ever read in my whole life. It is about a five foot tall metal chicken. The language is really salty so if that is not your thing, then I don't recommend it. But given my affinity for the occasional "f bomb" it was right up my alley. Go check it out if you'd like to laugh your head off. http://thebloggess.com/2011/06/and-thats-why-you-should-learn-to-pick-your-battles/
* Men Of A Certain Age: current favorite TV show that doesn't belong in the reality genre. I'm trying to branch out from reality TV but I. Just. Can't. Break. Away. Except for Men of a Certain Age (on TNT). Hubs and I watch it together every Wednesday night. It's a great date night and helps me understand my man better. For instance- as men age they can no longer ride in the car with their wallets in their pockets because their butts become more sensitive as they get older. Who knew? I'm learning tons.
* Advertising revenue. There's not a lot of it, but all the money that is made on this blog from advertising goes to orphan care initiatives. That makes me happy.
* My daughter's heart. Girlfriend is cooking up a fundraiser with her friends that I think you all are going to love. I can't wait to reveal what it is.
* This foo foo tank top:
|Something on the ceiling must be really interesting.
This was one of my outlet mall finds and it is now going to be my summer uniform. Consider yourself forewarned. If you plan to encounter me from now until the end of summer- I will be wearing this. I'm not typically a fan of tank tops because I'm not fond of my arm fat flapping in the breeze. But I will make an exception for this one. If you are lucky, I will wear pants with it.
* Vampires: These little ones just ran into the kitchen and said, "Look! We're vampires!" Evidently, vampires now cover themselves in blue marker. If you come upon a person with similar markings on the street- RUN!
* Seattle's Best Hazelnut coffee: I picked up a pack at the grocery a couple of weeks ago and now I am hooked. I think I'm going to start mainlining it. It has totally replaced my diet Pepsi addiction. I figure it's better for me since coffee is a natural substance. By that same token, though, cocaine is also a natural substance so maybe my logic is flawed. Anyway, with the exception of 2 splurges, I've been diet Pepsi free for 2 1/2 weeks and my stomach is so pumped about not having that battery acid in it!
* My sister-in-law: she out of the blue offered to let all three of my hooligans spend the night with her on Friday night AND keep them most of the day on Saturday. Ooo-la-la :-) Moms- y'all know how rare it is that someone calls and says, "Can I please have your kids?" Usually we are the ones calling and begging so this is a ridiculously awesome treat.
* Adopt-USkids. This is one of my favorite websites. It is full of children in foster care who have already been cleared for adoption. Children only get on their photo listings when all other avenues have been exhausted for them. Many teenagers who are about to age out of foster care put themselves on this list so that they can have a base to come home to. This week, this darling little 6 year old girl caught my eye. You know how some children just pull at you? That's what Marshae did to me. I've looked at her photo listing every morning and prayed that she would get a family. Are you Marshae's mommy?
UPDATED! Marshae's info is no longer available. Does that mean that one of you all inquired about her!?!?! AWESOME!
* These crazy kids: They make my heart go pitter pat. And not just because they raise my blood pressure.
Happy Thursday!

A Nigerian community leader says the government is negotiating the release of another 83 of the Chibok schoolgirls taken in a mass abduction two-and-a-half years ago but more than 100 others appear unwilling to return home.
Pogu Bitrus, chairman of the Chibok Development Association, told The Associated Press that the unwilling girls may have been radicalized by Boko Haram or are ashamed to return because they have married extremists and have babies.
Bitrus said the 21 Chibok girls freed last week in the first negotiated release between Nigeria's government and Boko Haram should be educated abroad, because they will probably face stigma in Nigeria.
U.S. & World
Some 276 schoolgirls were kidnapped from a school in northeastern Chibok in April 2014. Dozens escaped early on and a few died in captivity.

Students in the skilled trade programs are trained in shops similar to those of private industries. The shops contain testing and measuring instruments, tools, and equipment of the same size and types as found in private firms. The facilities make possible practical instruction which is essential to the preparation of skilled workers needed by today's modern industries. Students in these trade programs spend twenty-five to thirty hours per week in school: this time is divided between classroom studies and practical shop work.
A diploma is awarded to those students who satisfactorily complete the full-time trade program. To be eligible for the diploma, students must maintain satisfactory grades in all shop and class work, and maintain an overall grade point average of 2.00.

Green Planet, Inc. Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall of One Lot of Night Bullet, a Product Marketed as a Dietary Supplement to Support Male Sexual Performance, Due to Undeclared, Potentially Hazardous Active Ingredient
Monday, 11 March 2013 14:48
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 12, 2013 - Riverside, CA – Green Planet, Inc. is conducting a voluntary consumer recall of a product sold as a dietary supplement under the brand name of "Night Bullet," found to contain trace amounts of an analogue of an FDA-approved drug.
Finished product of Night Bullet was tested and found to contain trace amounts of an analogue of an FDA-approved drug. Analytical tests conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Night Bullet found that the product contains trace amounts of Sulfohydroxyhomosildenafil and Aminotadalafil. Sulfohydroxyhomosildenafil and Aminotadalafil are an analogues of sildenafil. Sildenafil is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in an FDA-approved drug that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) making this product an unapproved drug.
These undeclared active ingredients pose a threat to consumers because sildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions and they may seek products to enhance sexual performance. Additionally sildenafil may cause side effects such as, headaches and flushing. Green Planet has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
Night Bullet is marketed as a supplement for male enhancement. The recalled products are in capsule form, packaged in one (1) count blister packs. The lot and expiration date can be found on the back of the package. The following lot is being recalled:
|Batch Lot #
|UPC Code
|Night Bullet
Night Bullet was sold nationwide between October 2012 and March 2013 to wholesalers and sample provided at trade shows.
Green Planet is notifying its wholesalers through written correspondence. We urge consumers who have purchased these products to immediately discontinue their use and contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking this product. The Company is advising consumers to return the product to their place of purchase. Consumers may also return products directly to Green Planet, Inc. Customers can call the Company at 877-621-2048 Monday through Friday from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm PST for instructions on the return and refund process.
Any adverse events or quality problems experienced with the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting Program either online, by regular mail or by fax:
