Although they sound like higher education institutions, in fact UTCs are non-selective colleges for pupils aged from 14 to 19, sponsored by universities. They teach practical subjects such as engineering, product design and health sciences, which require specialised equipment, as well as English, maths, science, humanities, foreign languages and IT. Pupils also do 40-80 days' work experience a year. "This is going to be the answer to all the mistakes we've made in British education," Baker told the Guardian this year.

In 1952, O'Connor graduated near the top of her class, got married - not to Bill, but John Jay, a colleague on the Stanford Law Review - and excitedly entered the outside world. But the world wasn't ready for an ambitious, intelligent woman who could hold her own in conversation and shoot a jackrabbit at 50 yards. 'No one gave me a job,' she says. 'It was very frustrating because I had done very well in both undergraduate and law school and my male classmates weren't having any problems. No one would even speak to me.'

Brennan, Blackmun, Powell and Marshall were gone within the decade, replaced by Republican nominees Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter and Clarence Thomas, leaving White the sole 'Democratic' voice before Bill Clinton's appointments of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer in 1993 and 1994 respectively. Liberals were crying out for moderation, and in O'Connor, it seems, they got what they were asking for.

After despairing that only a third of young people could name the three branches of government, O'Connor also set up ourcourts.org used in schools as a civic educational tool, which has proved a great success.

The UK 's first university college offers hands on training for the young engineers of the future needs of the industry

The 18th-century mill in the village of Rocester, near Uttoxeter is a stunning blend of ancient and modern. Rooms are spacious and light, with views of the Staffordshire moorlands. This was a cotton mill for two centuries, until its closure by Courtaulds in the 1980s. It has now been adapted for academic use - to educate the engineers who will be required by the industries of tomorrow. This is the site of the JCB academy, Britain's first university technical college (UTC), which opened for its second academic year on 22 August.

UTCs are the brainchild of Mr. Baker. The former education minister is back with a rekindling of the vision for reform. He is chairman of the Baker-Dearing Trust, which developed the idea of ??colleges. JCB may be the first to be UTC, but it won 't be the last. Next month, the Black Country academy is open, also in Staffordshire, and the current education secretary and the chancellor, George Osborne, has already provided funding for a further 24-2014 known. Baker sees 200-300 in 10 years 'time.

Although they sound like the universities, in fact UTCs are non-selective schools for pupils aged 14 to 19, sponsored by the universities. You need to teach practical subjects such as engineering, product design and health sciences, specialized equipment, as well as English, mathematics, natural sciences, humanities, languages ??and IT. The students also do 40-80 days \ professional experience of the year. "This will be the answer to all the mistakes we've 'be made in British education," Baker told the Guardian this year.

"No pressure then?" I ask Jim Wade, rector of the JCB, which is supported by five universities, including Cambridge.

"All I can do is try to deliver a first-class education for the students who come here," he says. "And it's my belief that there are a group of youngsters out there for whom this is a preferred way of learning. If you can provide them with that, you can enthuse them."

You must be enthusiastic, because they 're here from 8:30 am to 5pm three days a week. Students come from a 18-mile radius, so they get buses in Derby, Stafford or Stoke-on-Trent at 7:20 every day. "You get used to it," says Wade. The record attendance is 95.6%, higher than the national average. "And they do work experience during their holidays. You may meet real engineers."

Gimmick of the year

Most annoying use of gadgetry

British theatre faces a tough financial future, but a rising generation of graduate companies flocked to Edinburgh this year. That they got here at all suggests a steely determination and an entrepreneurial spirit; what's more, many of these youngsters have considerable skills - Robert Lepages in the making. Curious Directive's superbly confident multi-layered Your Last Breath was a case in point.

The very weighty topics award

The Dutch striker says his new club \ Care and Vision 's owner is with Qatar \ reconstruction "to create a power base in southern Spain

It 's hard to resist interview Ruud van Nistelrooy and the temptation of your tongue firmly in cheek, the wedge and open the question with the obvious joke. Sitting next to him to escape, a pair of northern Europeans on plastic chairs under the shade of a withdrawal of the empty stand the relentless sun of the Costa del Sol sits, the mind inevitably wanders wife Debbie McGee Merton interrogate about her relationship with Paul Daniels. So, Ruud, what it was, it has multi-millionaire at the Malaga Club de Futbol?

Van Nistelrooy was top scorer in the Dutch league top scorer in the English league, top scorer in the Spanish league top scorer in the Champions League have been. Three times. He has won five league titles in three different countries and generated 35 times for his country. Malaga, now have ... well, they have a record number of actions in the First Division. The problem is that to say 'sa roundabout way, they have banned a lot - 12 times. They have invented new and bust in all its forms and not have a single trophy.

What they have is money too suddenly. A lot of money. A little more than a year ago they were in administration, but before the start of last season, bought the Qatar Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser al-Thani, the club for ? 36 million. Earlier this season, she admitted that the club 's budget would be ? 150 million - easily the biggest in its history and the third largest in La Liga after Real Madrid and Barcelona. A new force has appeared on the Spanish scene, promised a power base in the south of the center (Madrid) and north (Barcelona) challenge.

Malaga nine players this summer for almost ? 60 million have been signed. Diego Buonanotte arrived, as well as Nacho Monreal, Jérémy Toulalan, Joris Mathijsen, Sergio Sánchez, Joaquín Sánchez and Francisco Román, known as Isco. The last to arrive was the Spanish international Santi Cazorla. Have paid the ? 19 million covered Malaga Villarreal for him their entire budget just a few seasons ago. In a league where players are often unpaid - Malaga have the chance to open their season against Barcelona last Sunday, because the players 'strike - they pay now and pay well.

It was Fernández who discovered Dani Alves and Julio Baptista for Sevilla. Pellegrini took Villarreal to the Champions League semi-final and second place in La Liga. When his embryonic Málaga side looked on the verge of relegation last season, rather than sacking him the club renewed his contract. There is a complicity between coach and club so conspicuously lacking when Pellegrini was at Real Madrid. There has been investment in the youth academy, and for all the cash and the sheer number of signings there is a logic to it all.

Was that a surprise?

The muffled sounds of an angry man 's voice was heard through the open door, and saw a neighbor with a world-weary indifference. "It 's not \ the first time," said Dave, a 58-year-old who would not give his last name. "You 've been here."

Officers eventually went out of the house with a 25-year-old man in handcuffs and a sweatshirt with the words "Smoke Homegrown" emblazoned beneath a large cannabis plant. In a storm of expletives, he gave the finger to the press, as he was escorted to the van.

Detective Sergeant Andy Chandler, who was leading the raid, said the man under suspicion had been arrested in the supply of drugs and money laundering offenses.

Not the suspect, whose name published, was part of Operation Connect, an initiative of the Metropolitan Police to combat a rise in gang crime in the capital led to the goal being targeted. The project, which draws taken on the successful anti-gang approaches by police in cities like Boston, Massachusetts, and Glasgow, has been running since the spring, to be used with Waltham Forest as a blueprint for other communities.

But, after a summer in which gangs have returned to the headlines in a big way, interest in Connect is greater than ever. Speaking in the aftermath of the riots in English cities this month, David Cameron declared an "all-out war" on criminal gangs. They had been, he told MPs on another occasion, "at the heart of the protests and have been behind the co-ordinated attacks".

Out of the glare of the media and the Westminster spotlight, however, has steadily advanced Connect operation in Waltham Forest, where a spasm of gang-related violence last summer, among other factors, the police called on individuals from the community for special attention.

For those gang members who decline the offer of engagement, but the soft approach is ditched, and no-holds-barred enforcement kicks in. "It 's Al Capone \ kind of approach," said Chandler. \ That could be in the class A drug dealing or failure to pay a TV license, "We will for their crimes. \ Target".

Detective Chief Inspector Tim Champion, from the Connect operation, said officers justified in their pursuit of those gang members were for the smallest offenses. "We would not have to speak for no insurance if they 'weren ta violent gang member," he said. "We are there to reduce speed violence. We will do this in any form. ... If the individual has been offered a way out ... and they 've decided not to do that, they 've been a very clear steer that we target. "

For many communities in which gangs of frustrated, the tough stance is welcome. And there are already signs that Connect is having an impact in Waltham Forest: The latest figures show that in the first three months of the project, knife crime by 5%, robbery by 13% and gun crime fell compared to 25% in the last year.

But Scotland Yard are no illusions that a substantial decline in gang crime in London is anything but long and be fraught with difficulties. In areas such as Waltham Forest and Haringey, the next step in Connect 's development, transition issues remain widely disseminated.

Yesterday, another robbery, carried out in a terraced house in Leyton, to spread the arrest of a person, a 39-year-old Vietnamese man on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis in a factory about four rooms in the property. In a room about 250 cannabis plants were under heat lamps while hoods and moth balls have been used to reduce the pungent smell. In another land lay in a heap next to a pink dust pan and brush. According to one estimate, the factory had the capacity to bring its owner an income of over £ 500,000 per year.

Despite the sustained intelligence gathering, some anti-gang work can still be hit and miss: local officers had originally raided the Leyton address expecting to find evidence tying local gang members to the riots. No such items were found. And, while the government is pointing the finger of blame at gangs, officers in the field would prefer to wait and see the evidence before concluding that such a link was justified.

"Were there any band members involved in [the riots]? \ Without a doubt," said Master, it is "natural", that the riots had focused attention on gang-busting efforts.

"But you must be very careful as to come out to the actual statistics of how much it was gang-related and how much it was pure violence, we 're only speculate."

Carnival of police work

The Metropolitan Police has said it will prepare hundreds of additional officers as this year deploy 's Notting Hill Carnival to a million people in Europe \ participate largest street festival.

It will be 5500 police officers Sunday 's family day and 6,500 on the main carnival day Monday. The inserts provide a 10% and 15% increase over the previous year respectively.

There is nothing new about outsourcing: the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker had their supply chains, too. But the scale of it is new. Some 86% of organisations outsource some operations, and well over a third of public service workers are employed by private and voluntary sectors. This means millions of people effectively work not for a single organisation, but for networks of subcontractors, many of whose interests they are under some obligation to satisfy, but none of whom could be said to be entirely responsible for the work.

When Xchanging takes over a client's staff, it works to a six-point plan. First, there is "disorientation" as transferred staff are led to doubt the wisdom of their old work habits. Next comes a period of "self-examination", leading to "mutual change recognition" - the feeling that their new employer might have something to offer, then "realignment" followed by the construction of a "new service mindset", and so on.

If that sounds a bit like having an operation, it may have something to do with "transactional" outsourcing's fundamental principles. The industry applies lean manufacturing techniques - consistency, standardisation - to services. Every process is analysed for efficiency, innovation and the potential use of technology, in an echo of the classic 19th century scientific management approach to factory productivity.

When Maurice Glasman - for his work with the campaign of Ed Miliband, ennobled, and now a prominent "Blue Labour 'thinkers - is reflected in a book of essays, although it was difficult to meet to get with executives, points out the similarities at shareholder meetings proved highly contagious. "It was always ... more time than not, has led to the cleaning and catering staff, back into the house."

Cost trumps quality

The government should put innovation front and centre of their regulatory strategy. TV is going global and transforming in form. This new era, where innovation and speed are paramount, has parallels to the internet. To compete on the world stage, your content businesses need the freedom and legal framework to behave more like internet companies. The starting point for every new piece of legislation should not be "how do we regulate this" but "how do we protect the space needed for innovation".

The computing and creative industries are both a remarkable journey. Sometimes our paths are intertwined, where you least expect. The possibilities are enormous, and the British television is uniquely well positioned to take them if we work together.

. This is an excerpt from the MacTaggart lecture Eric Schmidt has announced today at the Edinburgh International Television Festival Media Guardian

The school's principal, Martin Bayliss - Mr B to the pupils - was in high spirits, snapping pictures of the youngsters, to the embarrassment of some, and trying to cajole the "coolest dude" in the year to open his envelope (he refused, wanting to take it home and open it in front of his mum). Bayliss accepts the school as being on the "frontline" but is proud that it was not targeted by rioters - a sign of its standing in the community. "Ex-pupils rang me up and told me, don't worry, we'll make sure the school isn't damaged," he said.

"There has been enough demonising of young people in recent weeks but these results should provide a lift for everyone, proving the students of Handsworth are industrious, ambitious and full of high hopes for the future."

Some 73.5% of girls' entries achieved at least a C, compared with 66% of boys' entries. Last week, the A-level results showed the opposite pattern, with boys narrowing girls' lead at A*.

At the moment, pupils can take their courses in bitesize chunks, known as modules, for most subjects. Coursework is included in the final mark. "Consistent application to schoolwork is more often a characteristic of girls," Smithers said. "Boys tend to show up better in end-of-course examinations."

Newcastle United have confirmed that Joey Barton has signed for Queen 's Park Rangers on a four-year contract.

"Some answers come in the enormous Cyril Kinnear Get Carter in question in this week 's knowledge," tweets to break my colleague John Ashdown, a study of the concentration to sit across the desk from me, news like a cowboy is wild horses, wearing a dark blue Mustang T-shirt 's seen better days.

I 'm not point to a Vuvuzela this snippet, because it' s talking about, but simply because it 's Harry Redknapp, the \ s there discovered from a broad range of new icons I' ve and not to use. so now seems a good time as any. Harry 's been entertaining his friends from the press today, telling them that he things Manchester City' s squad is now better than the European champions Barcelona.

You don 't have Messi but man for man, they certainly have a stronger team than Barcelona. You have two men in each situation, in which top players. It looks that forward-looking online now and they [Sergio] Aguero, [Carlos] Tevez, [Edin] Dzeko, [David] Silva - it 's amazing. Then you can have players like [Mario] Balotelli, who 't come into the team with [Emmanuel] Adebayor, [Craig] Bellamy and [Roque] Santa Cruz. It 's an amazing number of players have. "

I must go and make a cup of tea, so here 's something to keep you amused while I' m away.

"The Art of Noise's theme music, Gordon Burns 'helmet hair ... classic." It' s not wrong.

This club has had many highs over the years and also many lows. You probably find out more about people when you have the lows. I don't have any doubt that the boys in the dressing room will bounce back in terms of the performance and their desire to get a result against Aberdeen.

So now you know - there are some Dialogue goes, but a deal has been by any manner or form suggested in this moment in time by Scott Parker.

NEWS FLASH: Tottenham are in talks with West Ham over the possible transfer of midfielder Scott Parker, Hammers manager Sam Allardyce has confirmed.

In the wake of Colin Ward's travelogue, and in the interests of balance, some pro-London propaganda:

14.10: Here 's David Moyes on Fitba, and the output of the Old Firm and the heart of Europe last night.

No country would want that - it's disappointing. But it is difficult for Scotland. You don 't get the finances, we are down here. Sometimes we can sit here and look and say, "How bad is Scottish football" But they get very little money in their league and the teams set buy 't the top players now can.

That is why Walter Smith and Martin O 'Neill always Rangers and Celtic Cup final was remarkable.

It was a bad year for them, but I 'm sure they bounce back - they are two massive clubs. Hearts are good and Dundee United are a strong side, so Scottish football is good.

UEFA president Michel Platini said on Friday that the flashing warning lights, and he fears for the future of professional football when the game do not act urgently to clean her.

Platini and stressed that he gave his personal opinion, told reporters in Monte Carlo in the traditional season-opening message: "I see flashing a lot of red lights and I'm afraid for the future of football, the go is pear-shaped in some areas \. "

He said he had no fear that the game would always be loved by millions, and would always be played on the streets and parks, but was serious about the money flooding into the game and the viability of the clubs to survive affected.

He said that Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules were vital in ensuring that some degree of accountability was introduced to the leading clubs, and although there had been some criticism of his insistence it was introduced, there was no turning back.

"There is no alternative," he said, "have clubs to live within their means. But we are facing major problems. Perhaps I am scaremongering, but we need to match fixing, corruption, illegal betting, violence on the playing field, racism and hooliganism.

"Of course there are many good qualities and values ??of football, but we ignore the problems at your own risk."

Right, here are the teams in the Europa League draw:
Spurs,

Disappointing as it was to have the Serie A strike confirmed, it comes as not great surprise. It's been on the cards all summer, and the language used by the Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani last week, when he warned that teams were willing to "wait till December" if necessary, was indicative of an increasingly beligerent stance from the league's owners.

Including Antonio Cassano at Sampdoria and Lazio Goran Pandev to - - is out of training on perceived offense frozen in recent years, there were a number of sensational cases of players. The players view this as a restriction of trade and as such had written a clause into the contract to eliminate the practice. However, should the owners have refused to make anything of their managers the autonomy to do their job as they see fit.

The Italian soccer player 'Association launched a last-ditch attempt to save the first weekend' s games this morning, with its president, Damiano Tommasi suggesting too that the two sides of a temporary one-year contract to bridge them to sign up for next season, but the league has rejected this proposal. Provides the international break it is now time for further discussions will be, but it is perhaps an indictment of both sides that these negotiations until now, even if the contract had been prepared and signed by the players were left in May.

He'll still hold his general conference and he should
be in decent spirits after Udinese on Wednesday evening, despite his selection splitting headache Old Trafford. I can 't remember arsenal are bigger underdogs before the season' s showpiece fixtures. "

11:36: "In my opinion, it seems pretty fair to say that Wenger started tendering for Cahill so low - the business, is not it" Rollick Henry Rudd-Clarke. "He 's hard for £ 17m to go and Wenger knows that Bolton need the money. Should always start bidding low and try to get the best deal in these situations. Add that to the fact that we just sold Clichy £ 7mil for the same contract situation, he has a lot of Champions League experience and is also a (longer) than regular international Cahill It 's reminded that Bolton aren' t in the Champions League but - they can keep Cahill. until January, and he is still seen as an asset of the Champions League clubs, because he will be cup-tied \ won 't \.

"I was in Birmingham last night after Chris Hughton 's provisional team Clock exploit fully a very disappointing Nacional side. Nathan Redmond, a 17-year-old England youth international was outstanding and could be observed in this season . Anyway, you realize, 've been on the line after the UEFA this morning - you asked if there was any truth the rumor, St Andrew' s last night, that wants the UEFA Stoke to Birmingham in the last "Yes to make? Of course I asked her, and that Michel Platini has confirmed that it is precisely the kind of showcase event that would bring the tournament from the Champions League 's shadow.

10:34: The "harsh punishment", which Ferguson says Manchester United players received by the FA last season? Presumably he 's, which has long ban on the Wayne Rooney for thrusting his elbow into the face Wigan' s James McCarthy. Oh no, wait ...

First, the UEFA for a Swiss civil court to decide on Sion 's case will be waiting.

And I should also point out that in the last ten years or so, the results of the League of Ireland teams in Europe improved significantly on the spot, where Rovers have a decent draw in this season.

10.12: We 've already seen, Pat Sullivan' s force in Shamrock Rovers 'historic victory last night, now my colleague John Ashdown, thank you for sending the link to this jewel for PSV: a sumptuous finish, and just reward for Jeremain Lens for staying on his feet.

10.09: Owen Coyle has confirmed that Arsenal in fact declined a bid for Gary Cahill, Bolton, however, on the grounds that it was "well below our valuation model" of the player.

10.06: What happened when will-o'-the wisp Scottish winger-turned-DJ-for-hire Pat Nevin met Fiver scribe Jacob Steinberg? The answer to that question and several even more ludicrous ones can be found here.

09:59: "I'm a Stoke City fan living in Bucharest," boasts Steve Clowes. "The Europa draw involves four groups of ten. I'm praying for my team to be drawn against a Romanian team. Rapid Bucharest is out as they've been put in the same pot as Stoke. That leaves FC Vaslui and Steaua. Steaua's colourful owner has assured fans that they will make the final in their home city. In the last round they played their home game in Cluj. I'm not sure where they will play their home games in this group stage. Can you shed any light on this matter?" The good people of Uefa tell me that Steaua will play their group games at the national Stadium in Bucharest. I also asked if they could arrange for Stoke to be sent there just for you, but the line went curiously dead straight after that ...

9.51am:Thanks for posting this mike65ie below, Pat Sullivan 's stonking equalizer for Shamrock Rovers in Belgrade last night.

09:36: "17.00 clock today is the deadline for the 'agree' takeover of Plymouth Argyle: If this is not fulfilled, it is likely that the club should be disbanded," recalls Marc Woodward threatening.

09.27 Clock: "Do we know if there is any truth to the 'Arsenal bid £6 million for Cahill' stories?" wonders Peter Thorn, . "It sounds depressingly Wengeresque for this Arsenal fan, but the tabloids are not exactly huge Wenger fans anyway. Chances of three new signings before deadline day? Very, very slim indeed." I don't know how much truth is in that but you can be sure Wenger will be asked about it today at his 12:30pm press conference and you'll learn of his reply right here, right then. But you're right about the reported fee: Wenger seems to have a habit of making bids that have little chance of being accepted.There's something charmingly quixotic about his insistence that the football market will eventually come around to his way of thinking, no? Mind you, he has just bid over £20m for Yann M'vila.

She concludes:

"Looking at this list, what lesson can I learn I think a few themes emerge?
- I find it extremely useful when people are able to listen and empathize, without trying to fix me or fix the situation.
- I appreciate it when people are honest if they don't know what to do to help.
- Some of the comments on my last list negates my point of view of my own illness. I can understand that there are people very uncomfortable, but the denial of the existence of my problems is very discouraging. Good friends and good health care provider to accept my version of my experience.

"Definitely gets my support as an Early Years professional. It's so true that not all parents know automatically what to do with their children in order to give them the best start in life. In my view, parenting is a job - and like any other job, it's possible to do a good job, a bad job and even an inadequate job. And equally, like any other job, there should be support, training and encouragement available for the people that do it."

From October it is hoped that the Rolls Building will become the new home of the chancery division of the high court, the admiralty and commercial court, as well as the technology and construction court. The government hopes it will attract high-profile business disputes from around the world, such as rows over pipelines and property ventures, contested insurance payouts, environmental pollution claims and disagreements over complex contracts. When the project was launched five years ago, it was claimed the Rolls Buildings would develop into "the biggest dedicated business court in the world".

The development comes as the Justice Department and Great Britain to promote trade and investment, British courts as the gold standard for the settlement of international disputes, in the hope of benefiting from their excellence. "The message is that there is a focus for the settlement of international and national disputes," said Michael Todd QC, an expert in the field of company law, the chairman elect of the Bar Council, which represents lawyers.

In the same way that the city has promoted itself as an international financial center, he said, London has become a global legal center. "It 's true that London can be solved as a place where financial disputes, should be considered."

The Rolls-building dishes are also on the mediation and arbitration, both of which are increasingly popular alternatives to the traditional confrontations involved in legal disputes. "There will be 31 court rooms and 55 suites consulting," said Todd, who was in the development of the project as a former head of the Chancery Bar Association involved. "The Super-looking dishes particularly well. It 's going to bring together all kinds of experts in tax, shipping, finance and antitrust law.

"The idea is a nearly paperless court. As lawyers, we are so accustomed to leafing through bundles of paper are. It should be possible to work with less paperwork."

Developed Chris Dale, an Oxford attorney and software experts, has "e-disclosure", is among those who have a critical look at the Rolls-building. "It is no use to induce only rich foreigners their money in the register ... and specialized courts to spend, while small and medium enterprises (who generate most of our GDP) can not afford to bring and defend claims, "he wrote on his blog. "It is disingenuous of a shiny new buildings offer neglecting the courts, where most of our litigation is in progress."

The price of justice

Chester

. Simon Tisdall (Report, 24 August) is a portrait of a mad dictator Gaddafi 's remarks quoted by the banlieue riots of 2005. I find it very difficult, with Gaddafi 's speech do not agree. Yes, the North Africans were encouraged to come to France as cheap labor. Yes, they were isolated in the bleak suburbs, and yes, they were beaten by French police when they protested. I'm no apologist for Gaddafi, but surely these are not the words of a troubled eccentric. While he certainly amassed wealth for himself and his family, he also used the oil revenues to a backward country into a desert place has modern hospitals to turn a good education system for boys and girls, an efficient infrastructure of services, and above all a secular constitution. Britain and Nato have little interest in the Libyan people, but are there to install a puppet regime to access Libyan oil without the problem of dealing with a stroppy nationalist leader. Their intervention will ensure a weak government, which will soon be toppled by Islamists. Who wins then?

. The "historic moment" (Striking image as rebels take 'the beating heart' of dictator's regime, 24 August) when Saddam Hussein's statue was toppled in Baghdad was not the spontaneous eruption of the people's passion that it is usually assumed to be. When the cameras panned out from the image it was clear that the crowd was small and it was the act of a relatively small group of men aided by American soldiers.

"I don 't think that he was arrested. I really don' t," he said. The Plan 's spectacular misfire "You learn a lot about the incompetence of the rebels," he added. "This is worrying." It might even, he said, have tried the opposite of what would such a campaign to achieve. "His reappearance encourage probably the remains of Gaddafi followers. There is potential for Saif lead a rebellion," said Gerges.

Larbi Sadiki, from the University of Exeter, agreed that the rebels could also have a clumsy attempt at psychological warfare to "sow doubt and chaos in the enemy 's Camp'.

'To demoralize's capture or death of one of Gaddafi charged the regime' "The idea is that the news of Saif \ to defend s supporters, especially putting up a fierce resistance in Tripoli, Gadhafi and co. Saif 's Cameo appearance was aimed at making these reversed the reversal of psychology against the rebels, \ said, "he said.

Both sides 'Strategies said that he had added, "\ an element of a gamble" to them, but during the regime' s tactics suggested that the despair, the rebels 'decision "is apparent from perhaps over confidence "and zeal to oust Qaddafi.

Whatever the origins of the saga, the picture of IT-projects of the rebels is not flattering - and while Saif 's dramatic resurgence is by far not the only occasion on which the international community has reason, the credibility of the combatants, this question had misstep could be disastrous.

In an interview with the Australian broadcaster ABC, he added: "I would like to see his sons dealt with in a more secure way . I would say that the way they dealt with Muhammad last night was not adequate."

. The children are now much more than e-mails and websites to read comics, according to a National Literacy Trust survey of more than 18,000 eight to 17 year olds.

. There's a row brewing over Scottish university fees. Scots pay nothing, EU students pay nothing, but students from other parts of the UK have to cough up thousands of pounds a year if they wish to attend a Scottish university. Now leading human rights lawyer Phil Shiner is girding his loins to mount a legal challenge against the Scottish government.

A Guardian editorial said:

"The financial schism on Scottish campuses will widen to a chasm, with unknown consequences. For one thing, English students bearing chequebooks might appear rather attractive to cash-strapped institutions far over Hadrian's Wall. For another, the EU's bar on intra-state differences being applied between member states could stoke English ire. It means English students will pick up their bills while watching Germans and Poles enjoy a Scottish-style waiver."

. With figures out last week showing youth unemployment reaching more than 20%, the scrapping of the education maintenance allowance and a large hike in tuition fees, young people need decent careers advice more than ever. But, as Louise Tickle (@louisetickle) reports, it's a service under siege. A new national service is due to launch next April - but teenagers will no longer be entitled to any face-to-face careers guidance. Instead they will be pointed to a website or told to call a helpline. The duty to provide personal advice will be transferred to schools, though they are to get none of the £203m central funding that pays for the existing service.

A 17-year-old who watched on television in shock, such as riots 's Restaurant returns to Tottenham' near her family \ s streets

My family's restaurant

It 's heavy rain on Wednesday evening when I return with my family' s Ghanaian restaurant, Akwaah 's Kitchen, just off the Tottenham High Road, where the unrest began. We had seen a much larger restaurant with room for more than 100 people running the catering large local Ghanaian community, but the economic downturn has forced it intolerable, and we zoom out last year.

Our new place was only two months when the riots began to open, but right now my step-father is more worried about what is wrong in his neighborhood, as his new business. "It 's obviously a problem of discipline. Some children have been no limits during the riots, all four of my children were sitting in front of me saw it go on TV and I said," Don' t move ' , "he says as we sit at one of the empty tables. It is quiet today, there are only a few to eat, how we clear things are 't come back to normal yet.

Watching the riots on television with my family, which was shocking on Saturday night. I could 't believe what is happening around me. The well-known places of my childhood had turned into a war zone. It hurt to see the Aldi supermarket go up in flames. I'm often in there on the way to school to buy snacks, but now it was looted and burned. It was tough at Tottenham recently. This year, Haringey Council's cuts, the closure of most of the community 's run youth clubs. Nothing can justify the riots, but my stepfather is anxious to talk about these issues: "So much was taken away by these young people in such a short time, it 's no wonder that they' re angry and betrayed . I know how hard it is to tell my kids they can 't have something and not be able to give them a different explanation, but "Things are more closely' \."

The Restaurant Co-Manager, Nana Agyeman, remembers that on the night of the riots, everything seemed normal, although it "a kind of protest of the road, which seemed to us from the hand". When she went to work after midnight saw the extent of destruction: .. "It was just despicable We must respect the police, but they need because they trust us to see if the people that they can 't protect us, that' \ s wrong. Police only stood and watched them destroy the Community \. "

Now she is worried about the future. \ If "they [the rioters] back, and if so what if I 'm not so lucky? And now all of my expenses are going sky-rocket, business tax, insurance, everything. But the community is so supportive and that 's all I can ask for what I \. "

At the Salon Berce appears booming business, but Stacey Tambu, the hairdresser and barber shop managed, says revenue by 60% since the unrest: "It .. dead on the first ladies were afraid to come here was"

I think Stacey braids of a young girl 's hair in the little parlor at the back of the barbershop. According to Congolese music plays and lively discussions in the air, but Stacey has a commanding voice and say too much about the recent events.

On the night of the riots, she left the salon during the evening to attend a funeral, returning to see the devastation. "There was a police car on fire under the bridge. I've never seen anything like this in my life. Everything was getting smashed, robbed, chaos!'

Since the riots has Stacey was furious: "The people tried out, it was the only black children, but that 's not what I was doing it every \ .."

She makes no excuses for what happened, but believes that the "aggressive" stereotype of disadvantaged areas like Tottenham hooligans may have inspired. "It 's upsetting to see the church issued are described as animals, it doesn \ on a ghetto and the young people' help .. T, the situation is there something they live up to"

I don 't the way that my church has often been depicted in the aftermath of the riots. Some newspaper reports and TV coverage of Tottenham have it sound obscure, with little resemblance to the area that has good memories for me. It 's not the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, but it' s my home.

In school for test results

The next morning 's time to get my test results. I 'm nervous and add a cloudy sky just my hunch. It 's been a difficult year for the school in a way, as construction work meant moving to a temporary site at a previously disused school building, while our common room was housed in a portable building. But the atmosphere on my all-girls 'convent school in Hackney is still good. The staff place great emphasis on the importance of values ??and social commitment.

I let out a scream of joy when I open my envelope to discover I 've got four As at AS-level in my tear. Looking around me on the girls always look their A-level results I am a mixture of responses were, some happy, others not, while others examine desperate logging on to the UCAS website to see if they've 'their places despite secured obtaining the necessary qualities. My head teacher, Jane Gray, is here to congratulate and regret with students, thrilled with how well we 've done a whole. "This is truly the best day of the year for me," she says. "If parents and schools work together, 99% of the time their children come with success."

It was great to meet so many school friends again, most of which I saw hadn 't since before the riots. I was so all my friends who lived in the middle of the riots and was in constant contact with them worried about BlackBerry Messenger.

Sandra Frimpong is studying the nursing at Middlesex University. She lives on the farm Broadwater property and felt the effects after the riots in the morning when they go couldn 't to her store around the corner, because they are too afraid, were open. "It was just stupid, you waste places will only make their lives more difficult stores, job centers, supermarkets -.. And it 's parents, going to have to pay for everything that is".

But Sandra knows first-hand the tension caused by poor relations between the police and young people: "I've been with my brother so many times when he's been stopped and searched by the police for no proper reason. It's too much."

Nancy Adimora won three As and is the law at Queen Mary, University of London read. She feels "\ no connection" to the young people involved in the riots: \ "It's ridiculous to feel for some of them have a right to do these things because we live in these conditions.

"We 're all a part of the same company, but opportunities in different ways. Some see social deprivation as an excuse to steal, destroy and to complain, while others see it as motivation to do better in life , and use most of what we have. We 're all opportunists. "

As I leave school I'm overwhelmed with emotion thinking about the people I've spent several years with and who are now going on to pastures new. With everything that has gone on recently, it feels important to share these happy moments with my mates. At the moment, I don't feel daunted by the prospect of another year of midnight revision followed by £9,000 tuition fees.

The London Citizens Network

It 'sa short bus ride from the school in Whitechapel to visit the offices of London Citizens, the network of community organizers in East London. It 'sa journey that I have done many times in the past year working as a youth leader with the citizens. It is gratifying to know I 'm working on something valuable as its living wage campaign at a low wage increase does. Nearly 1,000 people had come to send peace vigils in and around Hackney last week organized by the citizens.

The atmosphere is busy, almost hectic, as people rush in and out of the meeting, but we found a quiet room. I 'm glad to hear that they don' t believe that churches have been destroyed by the riots, although they reported that some people used the riots as an excuse to "grab their neighbors and to settle old scores have heard. It 's as in Bosnia, people exploit the situation. "

It is a crucial time for citizens. "We 've done it must be [arrange] better and smarter than the gangs," says managing director Neil Jameson. "Gangs have a high level of awareness, so we got 've to work harder against them, gangs provide the people power, prestige and territory, so we'. Ve got to offer them an alternative - and that is politics ".

Jameson as a community organizer at the same time as Barack Obama made in Chicago in 1989. In May he attended instead of the meal, which Obama for the queen of the American Embassy.

Be their immediate response to the riots, a massive consultation, during which they hope to obtain the views of 100,000 people in the capital, looking to decipher the problems and work towards solutions.

Sebastien Chapleau, Senior Community Organizer for Hackney, grew into one of the toughest in Paris Banlieues . He sees parallels between his youthful experiences there and the current situation.

"Every Christmas they used to burn cars on my estate," he says. "It was as if they were saying, 'We can't afford to buy things like this or give nice presents so we're going to destroy it.' It feels the same as the looters deciding that because they can't afford to buy the stuff in the shops they are going to steal or destroy it. It's sad."

To learn more about what do young men in Tottenham, I walk a few meters down the road from White Hart Lane Stadium Spurs 'football field, the Haringey Boxing Club.

It is a modest one-story building in the parking lot outside the Tottenham Community Sports Centre, located far away from its glamorous neighbor on the street, but in 11 years has the club in the heart of the community.

When I arrive, the evening session just started and the boxers sweat under the coach 's firm view. A sign outside the gym advises players "Leave your attitude at the door". Gerry Willmott MBE, a local police officer, founded the club and coach the aspiring fighters. It is about the cuts, which shut down eight of the affected community 's 13 youth clubs this year.

"Any kind of club that 's of interest from young people hanging around they will keep in the road and away from peer pressure that she gets into trouble," he says. Until this year the club ran a summer scheme for more than 300 young people aged 11-18: "say I 'm not, I could have predicted the riots, but if the kids had come here, I would have to are able to talk to them and gauge feelings. "

He feels that youth services have been irresponsible "ripped" and are for the community. His club has some recommendations of youth crime and children's teams, which were excluded from schools. "I tell them that I 't turn your life around, but if you want change then I can help you."

Catherine Hakim is a sociologist at the London School of Economics, who has written a book called Honey Money. "The world smiles at good-looking people, and they smile back", is its subtitle, and it goes on to posit this theory: that we have erotic capital, and this divides into six categories: beauty; sexual attractiveness; social skills like grace, charm and discreet flirtation; liveliness, which is a mixture of physical fitness, social energy and good humour; social presentation, including dress, jewellery and other adornments; and finally, sexuality itself, competence, energy, imagination.

"I think it's true generally of Anglo-Saxon puritan cultures, and that includes Britain - and the rest of the world values erotic capital and therefore you might say it was normal rather than abnormal. Abnormality is the Anglo-Saxon response. The research evidence is from Britain and America so it's difficult to generalise from."

"Well, I think it has a lot to do with Christianity."

(Actually, she also says it in her book: "The Puritan ethic did a lot more than promote capitalism. It seems to have ruined sex for a lot of people in the western world". Evidence base? That I'd like to see.)
