Jennifer Aniston Shows Off Her Toned Abs in SmartWater Ad
The actress, who has been a spokesperson for the brand since 2007, shows off her abs in a new ad for the water.
"Working out feels great ... afterwards," the tagline for the photo reads. "That's why I drink smart. It's hydration I can feel. (And it's one part of my routine I never sweat.)"
"Jennifer truly embodies what SmartWater is all about as she combines substance and style," one executive said when Aniston signed on to represent the company three years ago.
The 41-year-old star is famously fit, and is often seen gallivanting on the beach in small bikinis. Recently, she's was hit with rumors that she was on a baby food diet, which she quickly dispelled.
"Sorry, but the last time I had baby food, I believe I was 1. I've been on solids for about 40 years now," she told PEOPLE.

you people are so critical of her, like you know her or something, you sour put down people need to get a life. She is beautiful, with money, smart and has always had fans, way before Brad. He lost when he left her for that skinny, fat mouthed shank he is with now.

Is Jennifer Anison beautiful? Yes
Does she obviously love the limelight and attention? Yes
Is she over exposed? That is an understatement.
I wish she would back off just a little and take a cue from Angelina. Less is better, and when you are in the spotlight, let it be because of a great movie role or humanitarian reasons.
- Wednesday 19 MayBy Barb
It seems she is obsessed with her image, being sexy and her looks. I think it is because she needs to feel attractive because Brad left her for Angie and also that every man she is with dumps her. So, she is always trying to prove how sexy she is - that she is as beautiful as Angie, which she isn't.
Good that she is fit, but so? Her lifestyle is sort of pathetic.

Jen will look great...even laying in that damn box. Contrary to popular opinion, she is America's Sweetheart....she and Kris Williams (Ghost Hunters). You can have Megan Fox and Olivia Wilde, my money is on Jen...for the long haul. Hopefully, she will, one day, find a guy who doesn't just want her for her money. Unfortunately, they guys she dates that do have money, only want her for sex. Such is the shallow world of Hollywood. In the meantime, we can enjoy the fact that she takes good care of herself, and will be around for a long time...as long as he behaves.

Jen looks fabulous I only wish everyone in America look like that instead of the fat slobs all are turning into. Best picture I have ever seen of her. Jolie eat your heart out. Talk about and old hag with to many kids and her husband looks like an old drunk.

PLEASE!!!! i,m so tired of this lady..something has to be wrong with her..she cant keep a man,hello stuck on herself
- Thursday 20 MayBy Jennibean
Haters!!!! Not one person on here will ever or has ever looked that good at 40! Get a hobby and stop bashing people and picking people apart that you secretly wish you could be or be with!

Kinda ironic...Farrah Fawcett was going to do the SmartWater campaign a year before she got cancer. Jennifer Anistons uniqueness and star-quality remind me so much of Farrah's!!Although Aniston is not NEARLY the beauty Farrah was. And SmartWater was gonna hire Farrah well into her fifties..I doubt Jennifer will be relevant when she hopefully reaches Farrahs age. Just my opinion.

Jen looks like she's supposed to look here; like she in the middle of or finishing a work out, not at her best. While she doesn't have Angie's beautiful face lines, she's still a very pretty woman. Anyone who says otherwise is lying thru their teeth. And BTW I'm not one of her fans, I never watched her on tv or any of her movies.
- Thursday 20 MayBy ro
big deal alot of people have bodies like her.
- Thursday 20 MayBy Sherry
Just another desperate attempt by Jennifer to get a man. I'm sure her abs will keep her very warm and ocntent in her old age. Maybe if she worked on her inner self . . . She's such a sad person who still doesn't know what is real and important in life.

Luis Suarez returns to Barcelona training while "paying for a mistake"
Aug 15, 2014, 12:36 PM EDT
Clad in a hot pink shirt and flashing that trademark Luis Suarez smile, Barcelona's high-profile summer addition to the training field with his new teammates for the first time.
That's because while his 4-month suspension for biting Giorgio Chiellini at this summer's World Cup still stands, Suarez was given a reprieve on his ban from training with the club. Friday was his first day on the job.
[ MORE: Neymar returns to training for Barca, could make La Liga opener ]
It's been hard for Suarez to be away from the game, and he gave an interview to his new club's web site.
Suárez described this situation as "really tough…it was a situation that made me feel really uncomfortable. I'm paying for a mistake I made and one I have apologised for, but I have to forget about all this". Following on, the new Barça number 9 said: "I am only thinking about the future, which is at FC Barcelona, the Club who I dreamed of playing for".
Finally, the Uruguayan striker wanted to thank Barça for the support he has had since the announcement of his signing. "I am very grateful to the Club for all it has done for me over these last few weeks and days. They have been great with me and I appreciate it because I am realizing my dream, to play for Barça".
Barcelona also release a video on Suarez's first day "in 100 seconds".

Vouch for your financial future by clipping some coupons
Take advantage of the many codes available for online discounts to keep your finances in check
Wednesday 18 August 2010
Collecting vouchers and cutting out coupons may once have been associated with prudent housewives and penniless pensioners, but it's becoming increasingly popular with a generation of savvy students. Struggling to make their money last the duration of their courses, many are turning to internet vouchers to help stretch out their student loan. The proliferation of online vouchers for everything from theme park tickets to free cookies means there's no excuse for three years of baked beans and pints down the pub.
"I use voucher websites a lot," says Lawrence Eagling, 20, a second-year student at the University of Southampton. "It means I can go out more often, because things that are usually expensive, like going to the cinema or eating out, become more affordable."
Like many of his friends, Eagling rarely goes out for a meal without downloading a voucher first. "It's well worth taking the time to look for one if it cuts your bill in half," he says.
One of the most popular places for student vouchers is studentbeans.com. More than 500,000 students have registered since it was founded by graduates Michael and James Eder in 2005. "Students can save a huge amount of money looking online or offline," says James. "We are committed to finding the best deals for students, so whether that is going out and negotiating deals on behalf of students, or bringing together some of the best deals on the web, we try to make sure we do the searching so students don't have to.
"Make a rule to only buy with a discount voucher, code or similar. You'll be hard-pressed to find an online shop that doesn't offer some student or new customer discount."
Popular voucher downloads include two-for-one cinema tickets and meal deals at restaurant chains, but it also promotes cheap gym memberships, insurance deals and discounted newspaper subscriptions.
James advises students to buy items online rather than in shops. "As a rule, nearly everything is cheaper online, and students get extra benefits on top of standard online prices. Laptops, textbooks, meals, gigs – you can save on essentials and treats."
The National Union of Students gives its cardholders cheap deals online, as well as offering discounts on the high street. Their website, nus.org.uk, has links to offers ranging from books at Amazon to burgers at McDonald's.
Students can also take advantage of a variety of voucher websites which, although not specifically targeted at the student market, offer worthwhile discounts and savings. As a rule, it is better to use reputable, well-known sites as some smaller sites host broken links or out-of-date vouchers that are not accepted in stores.
A good source for vouchers is moneysavingexpert.com/vouchers. Dan Plant, from moneysavingexpert.com, says: "Retailers regularly release vouchers online now, which can either be printed off and taken into stores, or used as a discount code on shopping websites. Gap, H&M, American Apparel and loads more often have these – we collect all the legitimate ones."
The vouchercloud.com website is also useful. You can search for items and services within a specified radius of your location and, if you own a smart phone, you can download a mobile discount app from vouchercloud.com/download to check for discounts on the go. It's the first app of its kind in the UK.
Following these websites on Facebook or Twitter is an easy way of staying up to date with the latest offers. Social networking websites themselves often advertise offers and deals aimed at students, but Plant advises: "Do your research to make sure you're getting a genuinely good deal. This can be looking at other sites, or going out into the real world to compare prices."
Shopping for discounts on the internet isn't all about vouchers, however. Comparison websites are a helpful tool for students to find the best deals, which is especially important when it comes to buying more expensive items, such as laptops.
"If you're shopping for a particular item, 'shopping robot' websites such as foundem.co.uk and pricerunner.co.uk search multiple online shops for you in one click to find the cheapest price for CDs, gadgets, clothes and more," says Plant. "We've built a special free tool, at megashopbot.com, that combines all the best robots to get the biggest range of shops in one click."
Music fans who want to buy songs and albums cheaply online should go to tunechecker.com, which allows you to search for an artist or song title and then compares the results from different online retailers. Better still, music can be listened to for free on spotify.com, which is becoming increasingly popular thanks to its huge range of genres and artists – providing you don't mind listening to adverts.
Another website great for getting you free stuff is freecycle.org. It enables members to give away unwanted items, allowing you to pick up a washing machine, barbecue, or anything else that you might want but cannot afford absolutely free. You also gain environmental brownie points, as it helps the environment by reducing the amount thrown into landfill.
Students can also save themselves some money by getting cash back from their online purchases through websites such as topcashback.co.uk and quidco.com. These give you a small percentage of your money back whenever you make purchases with an online retailer that you have reached through their website.
If you're still struggling to balance your finances, there are some free websites that can help you to manage your money. A quick and easy way to balance your income with your spending, ensuring that you don't lose track, is offered by www.studentcalculator.org.uk.
Shopping around and planning ahead are two of the main ways that students can save money by going online, and the widespread use of vouchers among students means that there is no stigma attached to them, assures Eagling. "No one thinks you're cheap, it's just the normal thing to do," he says. "I'm a student – I'm not going to pay full price when I don't have to."

United Way raises more than $51 million in 2012 campaign
Send this to a friend
- David Schuyler
- Digital Producer- Milwaukee Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
United Way of Greater Milwaukee said Tuesday that it raised $51.67 million this year, exceeding its projected goal by $171,080.
The total represents a 3.3 percent increase over the 2011 total, when United Way hit the $50 million mark.
Funds will allow United Way of Greater Milwaukee to help nearly 400,000 people in 2013 by funding more than 160 programs in education, income and health at more than 80 agency program partners.
"This is an amazing achievement. The needs in our community are great, so we knew we had to set an ambitious goal," said Paul Jones, chairman and CEO of A.O. Smith Corp. and 2012 Community Campaign co-chair. "The results of this campaign show that United Way matters to people, and the spirit of generosity is alive and well in our community."
Highlights included the largest annual combined workplace campaign total in United Way's 103-year history, with Johnson Controls Inc. raising $5.4 million and surpassing last year's company record total.
Northwestern Mutual raised $4 million for the first time and set a new company record, achieving more than 82 percent employee participation. Nine local companies contributed more than $1 million in employee gifts and corporate support, with each company increasing their contribution over 2011.
"We are so proud of what we've accomplished. Last year's results were exceptional, with United Way cracking the $50 million mark," said Greg Marcus, president and CEO of The Marcus Corp. and 2012 Community Campaign co-chair. "Not only did we achieve that again – but we exceeded it. Our community believes in United Way and we knew we could raise the bar higher."
David Schuyler is Digital Producer overseeing website content and also serves as a reporter covering the arts and nonprofit organizations for the Milwaukee Business Journal.

Twitter raises price for initial public offering
Shares set to sell between $23 and $25 each, raising more than $2 billion for the social media company

NEW YORK, N.Y.—Twitter's IPO could now raise more than $2 billion.
Twitter's confidence appears to be increasing ahead of its initial public offering set for later this week.
The 7-year-old short messaging service on Monday boosted the price range for the IPO, saying that it now expects to price its shares at between $23 and $25 each. It previously planned to sell the shares for between $17 and $20 each.
The increase doesn't come as a big surprise. Many observers considered the previous pricing to be relatively conservative, given that Twitter is poised to pull off the year's hottest IPO. And some predicted that rather than set its expectations too high the company would likely raise its pricing in the days leading up to the IPO.
Twitter said in its regulatory filing that it still plans to sell 70 million shares. If all of those shares are sold, the offering's underwriters can buy another 10.5 million shares.
At the $25 share price, Twitter's market value would be around $15.6 billion. Twitter's value is based on 625.2 million outstanding shares expected after the offering, including restricted stock units and stock options.
Some analysts had expected that figure to be as high as $20 billion. But Twitter's caution suggests that the company learned from Facebook's rocky IPO last year.
Facebook's IPO was marred by technical glitches on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in May of 2012. As a result, the Securities and Exchange Commission fined Nasdaq $10 million, the largest ever levied against an exchange. Those problems likely led Twitter to the New York Stock Exchange.
The San Francisco-based company plans to list its stock under the ticker symbol "TWTR" on the NYSE. Twitter will begin trading on the NYSE on Thursday morning after setting a price for its IPO sometime Wednesday evening.
Twitter also said in its filing that it received a letter from IBM accusing it of infringing on three of its patents. The letter asks Twitter to take part in settlement negotiations, but Twitter said in its filing that it believes it has a "meritorious defense" to the allegations.
Meanwhile, the company faces skepticism from potential investors and the broader public, according to an Associated Press-CNBC poll.
According to the poll released Monday, some 36 per cent of Americans say buying Twitter shares would be a good investment, while 47 per cent disagree. Last May, ahead of Facebook's IPO, 51 per cent of Americans said Facebook Inc. would be a good investment. Just 31 per cent didn't agree.
And surprisingly, 52 per cent of people ages 18 to 34 say investing in the company's stock is not a good idea.

Man dies in early-morning rollover near Alonsa
RCMP are investigating the cause of a crash that killed a 29-year-old man Saturday. (file image)
Published Sunday, September 2, 2012 9:36AM CST
Last Updated Sunday, September 2, 2012 11:49AM CST
RCMP believe seatbelt use was a factor in a rollover that killed a 29-year-old man early Saturday morning.
Around 4:30 a.m. a minivan carrying three people drove off the road and rolled at least once when it was driving south on Highway 278, RCMP said.
The 21-year-old female driver and a 29-year-old man weren't injured in the crash, but another passenger, a 29-year-old man, was thrown from the van.
RCMP said the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man's name will not be released, and RCMP continue to investigate the crash.

St. John Properties revives spec office construction
Send this to a friend
- Kevin Litten
- Reporter- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
St. John Properties Inc. is set to build more than 320,000 square feet of speculative office space as company officials express confidence that demand will rise.
There has been little spec office construction in recent years. But Gerard J. Wit, a senior vice president for St. John, said the company sees "a glimmer of light after a long, dark recession," adding the company is confident it can find tenants.
New buildings include a 25,160-square-foot Class A office building inside Aberdeen Proving Ground and a 140,000-square-foot Class A office building in the Maple Lawn mixed-use development in Howard County. Those two areas are showing promising signs of growth, Wit said.
"Ever so slowly in these micromarkets, there is a perceptively stronger heartbeat of demand and a low supply," Wit said.
In Howard County's Maple Lawn, a 600-acre site is being transformed into a Main Street-style development that includes offices, restaurants, retail and medical buildings.
At Aberdeen Proving Ground in Harford County, St. John's building is part of the Government and Technology project, a 416-acre private business development.
Wit said the company has been eyeing competitors' occupancy rates and thinks demand is beginning to fill up in vacant office spaces. St. John has an occupancy rate of 87.5 percent.
Existing tenants expanding their businesses will make up about 30 percent of the new office space tenants, and about 70 percent will be new tenants, Wit said.
St. John has between 300 and 400 acres of land it had plans to build on, and had buildings designed in 2009 and ready to begin construction when the economy showed signs of a turnaround.
Wit said the company also plans a 51,240-square-foot "flex building" at BWI Technology Park II in Anne Arundel County and a 54,120 square foot building in Ashburn Technology Park in Northern Virginia near Washington Dulles International Airport.

Goldie at Trilogy in DubaiBe the first to comment 16 December 2012
There was a time when Goldie was cool. His early '90s breakbeat-inspired releases helped set the template for drum n' bass, and the likes of David Bowie, Noel Gallagher and KRS-One all cued up to collaborate. He was in a high-profile relationship with Björk when she herself appeared to be the coolest woman in the world. Even his acting career started well, working with Guy Ritchie on Snatch and on Bond movie The World is Not Enough, until he slid down the television ladder to Celebrity Big Brother and Strictly Come Dancing. So it was a curious, rather than fervent, crowd who turned out at Trilogy to hear the once-great gold-toofed one drop a set of jungle, drum n' bass and more . He marks the last international guest getting behind the decks at Trilogy this year, so we expect it'll be the biggest night until the club's NYE Anthems night rolls around on December 31.

Email this Question
What causes plants to look dirty and lose their green color during the heat of the summer? One culprit is spider mites.
Rate This FAQ
Another droughty year with intense heat - another bad year for spider mites. Or a good year for mites, depending on your point of view. Spider mites are prolific arthropods, related to ticks and spiders, that attack most types of plants and suck the water and life out of them. Spider mites are small (1/60 inch) and make the leaves appear dirty due to their copious webbing and adhering dust. They feed primarily on leaves, but can also feed on fruits. Symptoms are at first white stippling, turning to bronzing or silvering as mite feeding increases, and finally resulting in complete browning or necrosis of foliage when damage is severe. Shake suspected mite infested leaves over a white sheet of paper and if the small dots that fall to the paper walk around, they are spider mites. So what do you do when the weather is hot and dry and mites are increasing in the late summer?
Good plant care that includes adequate water, fertilization and reduction of stress. Water stressed plants attract mites. Water adequately and if possible, sprinkler-irrigate to occasionally to wet the leaves, unless this may cause other problems. A stiff spray down with a hose can wash off some mites and the moist environment deters their population growth. Some plants are more likely to attract mites, including some weeds. Field bindweed, morning glory, mallow, and knotweed are attractive weed hosts. Avoid ornamental plants that have chronic problems with spider mites. Utah is a haven for spider mites, and they will flourish in hot years.
Predatory mites that prey on spider mites occur naturally. They are more prevalent on perennial plants, such as fruit trees, caneberries and some ornamentals where they can over winter and find spider mite prey year after year. Predaceous mites can be purchased and released, but generally the native species perform better in home yards and gardens. Avoid insecticides that are nonselective to help preserve the predators. Examples of insecticides that can kill predaceous mites include carbaryl (Sevin), malathion, pyrethroid insecticides, such as Asana, Pounce, Tempo and Talstar, and miticides, such as Kelthane and Vendex.
Soap and oil can help control spider mites by disrupting their cuticle (skeleton on the outside) and suffocation. Insecticidal soap and horticultural oil (1 to 1.5%) should be applied at dusk for best effects. If applied in the heat of the day, the products will dry too quickly giving reduced effect and can burn plant leaves. Soap and oil applications should be made two or three times, 5-7 days apart for better kill of mites. Chemicals that specifically target mites, such as Kelthane and Vendex, should only be used in cases where mite populations are high and severe plant damage is likely. They are effective in killing spider mites and most beneficial arthropods. Following use of a miticide, resurgence of spider mite populations is common, requiring additional treatments. And beneficial arthropods may be diminished for several years.

Team preview: Georgia Tech
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2003-04 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
Updated: November 6, 2003, 10:51 AM ETBlue Ribbon Yearbook
Editor's Note: Insider has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, long known as the Bible of college basketball, to provide a comprehensive look at all 327 Division I teams. When the 2002-03 season ended, Paul Hewitt appeared to have Georgia Tech positioned to contend for ACC and national honors in 2003-04. The Jackets finished smack in the middle of the nine-team ACC last season with a largely freshman-sophomore team. Hewitt expected to return his entire roster, including ACC Rookie of the Year Chris Bosh.
"After the Texas Tech game, Chris told his teammates that he was coming back," Hewitt said of the gifted big forward. "Right until the end, it was his intention to come back. But I said, 'Let's wait and see.' I didn't want him making any public statements that he might have to retract."

Comets find positives in scrimmage
SoVaNow.com / August 18, 2014Halifax County High School had some positives Friday from a three-team varsity football scrimmage.
The Comets battled Staunton River to a tie and lost to Prince Edward, but it would be a mistake to read too much into the preseason efforts. Comet coach Kenneth Day is working everyone into the action and trying to get a gauge on the Comets' progress.
"We did all right. We held our own," said Day yesterday.
Day remained positive about the way his charges played. Halifax played hard and the team is improving.
HCHS ran some 53 plays, with different formats. The Comets had a couple of passes picked off on fourth down plays but did not lose any fumbles. Overall, Day said the Comets moved the ball, executed "pretty well."
HCHS missed some assignments, had some dropped balls, and missed some blocks. But Day said the
The defense played well, created two turnovers and had some tackles for loss. The defense appears to be ahead of the offense, in an overall sense, at this point.
HCHS hosts a benefit game Friday night against Buckingham, which had a strong run to the state playoffs a year ago.
The jayveess play at five p.m., followed by the varsity at seven p.m. Friday.

Last week in Ex parte Gross, __ WL ___ (PTAB 2014)(Mantis Mercader, J.), the panel reversed a rejection of claims for indefiniteness under what today is 35 USC § 112(b) based solely upon the use in the claim of the "disjunctive conjunction 'and/or'", In re Herrick, 344 F.2d 713 (CCPA 1967)("disjunctive conjunction 'and/or'").
Win at the Patent Office, but what Happens if the Patent is enforced? One may question the wisdom of the use of the disjunctive conjunction in patent claims as they create unnecessary challenges before the Examiner (as here) but, more importantly, leave the question of patent validity an open book as seen in the Bushnell case:
"A claim is indefinite when an 'and/or' construction requires separate infringement determinations for every set of circumstances in which the claim may be used, and such determinations are likely to result in differing outcomes (sometimes infringing and sometimes not)." Bushnell, Inc. v.
Brunton Co., 673 F. Supp. 2d 1241, 1256 (D. Kansas 2009)(citing Halliburton Energy Servs., Inc., v. M-I LLC, 514 F.3d 1244, 1255 (Fed. Cir. 2008)).
An Established Meaning: As explained in the Pavilion case:
"According to [the patent challenger], the use of the term "and/or" renders the entire claim fatally indefinite. [The patent challenger] feigns confusion over the meaning of this phrase *** However, most, if not all, ordinary speakers of the English language should recognize that "and/or" has a particularized meaning that is distinct from the individual words "and" and
"or." See AM. COLLEGE HERITAGE DICTIONARY 53 (4th ed. 2002) (describing "and/or" as a conjunction "[u]sed to indicate that either or both of the items connected by it are involved")." Pavilion Techs., Inc. v. Emerson Elec. Co., 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 100913 (W.D. Tex. 2006).

Comments about Alvin Onyx Storage Shelf:
when I bought the Alvin Onyx Stow-n-Go Adjustable Drafting Table I was a little worried about how sturdy it would be (actually it's fine be itself) and this handy shelf makes it more so. I got the 12" version and my printer/scanner fits on it perfectly. I thought I'd be disappointed that it only comes in black (the table is white) but it looks fine.

Judge approves consultant's plea deal in Finmeccanica bribery case - sources
BUSTO ARSIZIO, Italy
BUSTO ARSIZIO, Italy (Reuters) - An Italian judge approved on Friday a plea bargain deal between prosecutors and a consultant accused of bribing Indian officials to help a unit of Italy's Finmeccanica (SIFI.MI) win a helicopter contract, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
Under the deal - which was reached last week but needed to be ratified by a judge - Guido Ralph Haschke was sentenced for international corruption to serve a year and 10 months under home detention or performing community service, the sources said.
This is the first sentence handed down in the scandal that has harmed state-owned defence group Finmeccanica and its helicopter unit AgustaWestland. Prosecutors said AgustaWestland paid about 50 million euros in bribes to win the 560 million euro Indian contract in 2010.
Under Italian law, entering a plea bargain does not amount to an admission of guilt. Haschke, 62, who could not be reached for comment on Friday, has never publicly admitted the bribery accusations.
Former Finmeccanica Chairman and CEO Giuseppe Orsi and the former head of AgustaWestland, Bruno Spagnolini, are on trial in the case after being charged with international corruption and falsifying invoices.
Finmeccanica, AgustaWestland, Orsi and Spagnolini deny any wrongdoing. They have said the consultancy deals related to engineering services which have all been documented and that no payment ended up in the pockets of Indian officials.
For Haschke, a Swiss-resident Italian and U.S. national, the plea bargain means he gets a lighter sentence than if he were convicted on the same charges in a trial. The prosecutor avoids a lengthy trial process that, in Italy, involves two appeals.
The sources said Judge Alessandro Chionna in the Tribunal of Busto Arsizio would give Haschke, who owns a management and business strategy consulting business, the reasons for the sentence in around 15 days.

Russell Group universities accused of killing key subjects such as economics and the arts at secondary school level
Head of one of the country's top performing grammar schools claims Russell Group is encouraging their demise through its promotion of a list of 'facilitating' subjects
Richard Garner
Richard Garner has been Education Editor of The Independent for 12 years and writing about the subject for 34 years. Before becoming a journalist, he worked as a disc jockey in London pubs and clubs and for a hospital radio station. His main hobbies are cricket (watching these days) and theatre. On his days off, he is most likelt to be found at Lord's or the King's Head Theatre Club.
Thursday 31 January 2013
Britain's elite universities have been accused of presiding over the death of key subjects like, music, the arts and economics in secondary schools.
The head of one of the country's top performing grammar schools has claimed that the Russell Group - which represents 24 of the country's most research intensive universities including Oxford and Cambridge - is encouraging their demise through its promotion of a list of "facilitating" subjects which will smooth pupils' paths to the most selective universities.
In an open letter to Dr Wendy Piatt, director general of the Russell Group, Hilda Clarke, head of Tiffin school in Kingston-upon-Thames, said: "If ever there was a time when the Russell Group needs to spring into action and communicate effectively, it is now and we urge you to do so.
"Albeit with initial best intentions, we feel that you have inadvertently become a pawn in some kind of political agenda."
Her campaign to persuade the group to speak out in defence of the arts and related subjects was backed last night by leaders of the country's two main headteachers' organisations - the National Association of Head Teachers and the Association of School and College Leaders.
Russell Hobby, general secretary of the NAHT, said: "I think there is a case that the Russell Group have overstated their case for individual subjects."
Heads have been angered by the fact the list of facilitating subjects omits music, religious studies, politics and government, philosophy, economics, art, design and technology, theatre studies and PE and that exam league tables now rank schools by the percentage of pupils with two A grades and a B at A-level in facilitating subjects - which puts many independent schools with a strong tradition in the arts well down the list.
"Since the term has been introduced, schools had seen a decline in the number of students choosing these subjects at A-level. Often under pressure from parents, the Russell Group advice was being misinterpreted as measuring that students should only chose facilitating subjects," Miss Clarke said.
She warned that - if the Group did not speak out strongly - "you will have presided over the death of these enriching subjects in schools, ultimately depriving a generation of this country's young people a balanced, meaningful and fulfilling experience in their most formative years."
It was pointed out that Prime Minister David Cameron had obtained a place at Oxford with history, history of art and economics A-levels - only one of which was a facilitating subject.
Dr John Newton, head of Taunton School - one of the country's leading independent schools, added: "I think the lady is right. There are a few people who haven't caught up with how subjects have developed in the last few years.
"Some people believe that what served pupils in 1982 still serves them in 2013."
Dr Piatt, who said she would be replying to Tiffin School, stressed the Group had highlighted the fact that taking two facilitating subjects out of three was "a smart way for students to keep their university options wide open."
The Group had also said "it would be wrong to use this simple indicator (the DfE's league table ranking) as a measure of the number of pupils in a school who are qualified to apply successfully to a Russell Group university".

Despite being ordered to hand over private emails to the U.S Government, Microsoft has made the decision to refuse U.S prosecutors access to its client's private emails and by doing so is defying a Federal court order. The company is planning to take the matter to appeal and will not be releasing any data or private emails to federal authorities.
The case was originally heard by the Judge Loretta Preska in the U.S District Court in Manhattan on July 31st, and while the order to release private cloud data was issued, it was suspended when numerous complaints were received. A number of technology companies and legal experts have argued that her order has broken international law. If data is not held within U.S borders, the Government and Federal authorities had absolutely no jurisdiction, and should not even be making the request to release data through the U.S court system.
However, on Friday – a month after the suspension was issued – it has been lifted. In spite of this, Microsoft is still refusing to hand over data and private emails. The judge has stated that the matter is one of control, and believes that since the data is held by a U.S company, the physical location of the data is irrelevant and the matter falls entirely under U.S jurisdiction.
Microsoft is arguing that since the data is held in Ireland, if it complies with the order it will be violating Irish law and in a case such as this the correct way of proceeding would be for the U.S Government to arrange a legal treaty with Ireland which would allow access to data and private emails in criminal cases. The case is being closely watched by internet privacy watchdogs as it is believed a precedent could be set in this landmark internet privacy case.
Should the case be ruled in favor of the prosecutors, it would make it difficult for other companies to deny future requests by the U.S Government to release private data held in worldwide cloud data centers. This is not the first time the U.S Government has demanded access to users' private emails and data, and while companies have made stands in the past on moral grounds, first time that a U.S company has defied an order issued by a Federal court.
Microsoft is fighting the order because it has profound implications for its customers and the cloud data services they are offered. The company is believed to have already suffered as a result of the U.S government' s online spying activities and should customers believe that their data is not actually private and the U.S Government can gain access to whatever data it wishes, customers would be unlikely to continue using its cloud data services.
Microsoft's actions have been backed by a number of U.S technology companies including Verizon, Cisco, Apple and AT&T, all of which would be negatively impacted should the appeal be ruled in favor of U.S prosecutors. Many legal experts also agree that federal authorities have absolutely no jurisdiction over data held outside the country's borders.
Microsoft and Federal prosecutors have until Friday 5th September to advise the judge on how to proceed. In a statement issued by the software giant, "Microsoft will not be turning over the email and plans to appeal".
