BSF bites the dust
Was scrapping Building Schools for the Future a step too far? BSF was a Labour government initiative set up to help finance the rebuild or revamp of schools. Only 180 projects have been completed and though 231 are due to start this year, these numbers are dwarfed by the 1,100 schools that had registered interest, or were engaged in a bid process, which have now been axed.

Military police records describe spousal sexual assault, hitting, shoving and screaming matches on or near Canadian Forces bases — family violence that counsellors link to repeated tours in Afghanistan.
The case summaries offer a rare view of tensions and conflict that regularly erupt in military homes across the country. They detail 49 incidents from July 1, 2008 to Feb. 1, 2009, in which charges were laid or complaints were deemed as "founded."
