Schools are facing new restrictions on which teachers can drive school minibuses.

Some are having to hire cars and taxis to fulfil sports fixtures or take field trips as a result.
Principals have been warned by the Education Authority (EA) that some teachers who currently drive minibuses may be doing so illegally.
The EA said the change was due to the Driver and Vehicle Agency clarifying the rules on minibuses.
However, one principal told the BBC the change would have "huge implications" for schools.
Previously, staff who held a licence which qualified them to drive a car would also have been able to drive a school minibus.
However, revised guidance from the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) states that teachers must now have a D1 licence and a driver's qualification card to do so.
The EA letter to principals, issued in June, states that if this is not the case there will be serious consequences.
"If this criteria cannot be met, any journey undertaken by staff will not be considered legal and may leave the driver and the employer facing prosecution and penalties," it states.
"It is imperative that the school at all times and you satisfy yourself that the relevant criteria have been met before authorising employees to drive a minibus."
The principal of Lisneal College in Londonderry, Michael Allen, said the new restrictions were having a serious impact.
"No-one at my school currently meets the new criteria," he said.
"I am now having to pay for taxis to take pupils on geography field trips before the end of term.
"A school team was also due to play a cricket match which we were about to cancel until another school, who had a qualified driver, helped us out.
"This change could end up costing my school up to Â£1,000 before the end of term alone."
In a statement, the EA said it had written to all schools to make them aware that DVA had clarified the licence requirements in relation to minibuses".
"These requirements apply to those employed in schools who drive minibuses."
The DVA has not yet responded to a request for further details.


With each obscenity, quick-witted put down and victory, Conor McGregor lights up the city that built him.

This cult of personality ignites Dublin's youth as a symbol of hope while those of a certain vintage remain vocal in their distaste for his words and uneasy with the sport he represents.
Critical moments shaped his childhood, interests and mind to form a persona he labels 'The Notorious'. But what made the man behind the manic eyes? And how much of it is real?
Dublin's River Liffey is tranquil when we visit three weeks before McGregor will earn a reported $100m (£77,500,000) in his boxing debut against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr.
A few streets away, Aisling Daly - Ireland's first MMA world champion - has just taken one of her clients as a personal trainer and sits in a gym in front of a white board, scrawled with the words 'demand the impossible and you will receive the maximum'. It fits the topic of conversation - McGregor - who met Daly when both he and his world were changing.
A house move from Crumlin to Lucan in his teens forced McGregor to switch schools. He was dismayed and vividly recalls a feeling of "isolation".
But already a skilled junior boxer, he met new classmate Tom Egan. Egan preached MMA and satisfied McGregor's rabid interest in combat enough to prompt a change in focus. Both men would make it to the UFC through Dublin's Straight Blast Gym.
Daly, now retired from UFC, recalls McGregor's first SBG visit. Wishing to prove his worth, he "dropped" her with a body shot and did the same to Owen Roddy - the gym's best fighter.
"It was a tumultuous one," says Daly. "At the end of that first session, our coach John Kavanagh took him and put manners on him.
"He was arrogant, the same way he is now with the swagger, probably thinking this MMA stuff was easy.
"So John took him down to the mat straight away and controlled all the positions on the ground. He just incapacitated him, landing a few stingy shots. Conor had respect after that round."

McGregor was hooked. It transpired that unwanted house move was critical. And in joining the SBG Gym he was timely, invading a blossoming crop of talent. He was given his own key after consistently waking Kavanagh up requesting the SBG be opened.
Obsessive in his learning, his study honed in on a noteworthy subject.
"He's always been a massive Mayweather fan," says Daly with a smile. "He'd be coaching, showing us punch combinations and videos and he showed us the Mayweather pull-counter.
"Now he's in a position where one of his idols is his rival. Knowing Conor, he will believe he is his equal."
Interviews across Dublin consistently ratify Daly's view that what we see in the media is McGregor calling on a genuine charisma. The persona is the man.
"What you see on TV is just an amplified version of Conor," she adds. "He has a genuine self-belief you can't teach. He believes himself to a point where eventually it manifests."
To the TV viewer, that self-belief is the foundation from which the soundbites launch. It is perhaps McGregor's key component and took work to develop.
'The Secret', written by Rhonda Byrne, was thrust upon McGregor by one of his two older sisters, Erin. The self-help book outlines ways for someone to reach their dreams through positive thinking and visualisation - believing and living as if good things have already happened.
The intervention should not be underestimated. McGregor talks about the book's impact passionately. Both he and girlfriend Dee Devlin follow its guidance to this day.
"Before anything big had happened, he'd be in the gym saying 'we have multiple world titles, we are millionaires, we have everything we want,'" says ex-UFC fighter Paddy Holohan. "I could just tell he meant every word.
"Conor is an absolute animal, people don't understand. This guy is different. He had incredible belief in himself."
This surge in confidence came at a time where McGregor's father - Tony - told him MMA would not pay.
They clashed when McGregor sacrificed a plumbing apprenticeship in order to train. Retaliating, he told his father he would be a millionaire by the age of 25. He was by 26 and the bloody-mindedness in getting there has influenced a generation.
"When Conor rose to prominence in 2009, the country was in a crippling recession," Peter Carroll, Ireland's longest serving MMA journalist, tells us.
"He was one of the guys affected by it. He was the one guy who said: 'I'm going to do something no one really knows about and I'll be the biggest success story this country has seen.' I think it gave people hope and a lot of people, particularly youngsters, attached to that."
Carroll has covered McGregor closely since the early years. He has witnessed his desire to visualise positive outcomes, notably when spin-kicking in his boxer shorts each morning while verbally convincing himself an injured knee had improved overnight.
The street on which we meet in Blanchardstown houses a butcher, bakery and coffee shop. It feels sleepy, local. Carroll is passionate, insightful and almost disbelieving of how McGregor became so global.
"I always thought he was going to either die really young or be a superstar because he was a million miles an hour," he adds.
"He had this aura about him right back then, when he walked into a room, every single eye was on him. He's not staggeringly handsome but he exudes this energy, this presence. I've never witnessed it in anyone else.
"It was like he was trained from nine years old how to do interviews. He was always an extrovert. I remember the first time I saw him, there were around 200 people at a fight in a small club and Conor was the loudest person in the room.
"Even there, he was decked out in the highest trends, the funky jeans we all thought were really cool but look atrocious now, and he had a Paddy cap on. I don't think he needed cameras to be that guy, he was always that guy."
Both Daly and Holohan echo Carroll's recollections of McGregor's fashion statements long before his Instagram account began showcasing his expensive threads, long before £20,000 mink robes, long before suits with expletive-laden pin stripes.
A day before we meet with all three of them, they team up to defend MMA in a radio debate. McGregor's success helps catapult a sport some deem too violent into the mainstream.
"I think it's a generation problem," adds Carroll. "I don't know how we are stuck in a conversation which was going on 25 years ago in America, especially given we have the biggest star in combat sports here in Ireland."
Mark, a cabbie awaiting a fare on O'Connell Street, believes McGregor is "love-hate".
"We don't like people who are arrogant and brash as a rule," he says. "My generation tends to think 'calm it down a bit Conor'."
In studying what makes McGregor, one wonders if this divide in some way suits him. The more you delve into his self-belief, the more you feel he'd rather lead an army of fellow believers than carry those of indifference.
"There's this avid cultural transition we see through Conor," adds Carroll. "He's seen as a compass for youngsters when it comes to fashion, how they speak, how they act. I don't think Ireland has ever produced a bigger star in sport.
"This is the first time we have had someone trying to get on to the next thing, constantly breaking boundaries. A lot of Irish stars before have been unassuming, with an almost happy-to-be-here mentality.
"Knowing Conor like I know Conor, he always wants to do something bigger. I don't know how the hell it gets bigger than this but it will."
Crumlin Boxing Club, where McGregor started hitting bags aged 12, is nestled between the local football club's artificial pitch and parkland equipped with rugby posts.
McGregor's face can barely be found among the hundreds of images on the walls lapping two rings. The truth is that this place lost him. Those MMA conversations with Egan in class proved too distracting.
A short drive away is the Black Forge Inn, where a visit from the local hero is known to prompt "mayhem".
"The last time he was in here, I told him he could buy this pub," says landlord Liam Flynn. "The next time I see him, I will say to him: 'Conor, I don't think you can afford it.' With him, that reverse psychology means he'll buy it."
In almost 48 hours in Dublin, Flynn is the first person to state McGregor - now a father - may be mellowing, describing him as "totally different to five years ago".
While we are told his frenzied approach is his true nature, surely a personality so unique, puffed-up by ongoing success, will need to plot carefully to avoid flying too close to the sun? If the rise was rapid, the fall could be spectacular.
"The guys you see with him in photographs are the ones who liked the irritating spotty 18-year-old Conor and they are still there because they care," adds Daly. "He can trust them. Not many new people have come into the circle, so he's making smart decisions."
Those closest to him knew McGregor when he was picking up 188 euros a week in welfare. Success has brought a new home on the exclusive grounds of the K-Club, located just outside his home city.
"What you see of Conor now is what he was when he had less money," says Holohan, as he prepares to take a kids' MMA class in his new SBG Dublin 24 gym. "People don't know what it's like to be 29 years of age and be able to have anything they want. Thinking about it, he is probably a bit tame for someone with that kind of power.
"For me, Conor is handling things like a boss. Now he has the chance to kidnap boxing."
Our visit to Dublin issues a belief that McGregor is more than a passing trend or conversation point.
"Every single young guy in a MMA gym now thinks they are Conor McGregor," adds Carroll. "It's crazy but there will never be another one."
Tellingly, those close to him maintain what we see is what they have always got - a vocal, visionary and vicious force.
It seems the public can trust in his persona.
But how quickly will Father Time erode its magnetism? Will age dilute the confidence holding the key elements of The Notorious together?
Nine frantic years have passed since his first MMA fight. A win in his first boxing bout could take McGregor's influence beyond a point not even he could have visualised.


Chelsea Ladies suffered a shock Women's Continental Cup first-round exit as they lost 4-2 on penalties to second-tier London Bees after a 3-3 draw.

Holders Arsenal safely navigated a tricky away tie at top-flight Reading, winning 3-1, while Women's Super League One leaders Manchester City won 8-0 at WSL 2 side Aston Villa.
Liverpool Ladies won the Merseyside derby at WSL 2 side Everton 1-0.
Sheffield FC Ladies beat Bristol City Women 2-0 in the only all-WSL 2 clash.
Chelsea, winners of the Women's FA Cup and the league title in 2015, fielded four senior England internationals in their starting XI, but were trailing 2-1 when their defender Niamh Fahey was dismissed late on.
Down to 10 players, Chelsea sent the game to extra-time with Millie Bright's stoppage-time goal before Beth England put them 3-2 up, but Deanna Cooper's leveller brought about a penalty shootout.
England winger Karen Carney and South Korea forward Ji So-Yun both missed penalties for Chelsea before Merrick Will struck the part-time side's final kick.
On Sunday, the remaining first-round ties see Doncaster Rovers Belles host Sunderland, Oxford United host Birmingham City and WSL 2 leaders Yeovil Town host Notts County Ladies.
Chelsea Ladies manager Emma Hayes: "The Bees put everything on the line for their team. It was a fantastic effort against a group of professional players and they deserve what they got from the game.
"It wasn't about who has the best individuals because that's clear. Ultimately the best team won because they took all elements of the game seriously and they respected the opponent."
London Bees substitute Merrick Will: "It was brilliant. It's great to beat Chelsea, a quality side like that, and go through to the next round.
"We came into it with not much pressure and I knew we could do it. We definitely went in there underestimated and I think that showed in our performance."

Ouseph, 29, faces the Danish fourth seed, who beat Ireland's Scott Evans 21-16 21-12, on Wednesday.
Langridge and Ellis have a chance to secure Britain's first Olympic badminton medal since Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms won mixed doubles silver in Athens 12 years ago.
"Our record against the Chinese pair is not as good as we would like but the thing is, this is the Olympics and anything can happen," said Langridge.
"If you had told me before the start that we would make the semi-finals I would have bitten your hand off.
"It is amazing - we are one of these pairs that are quite up and down - but this tournament we have shown our ability."

Shares in AO World, the online domestic appliance retailer, have fallen sharply after the firm warned that growth at its UK business was expected to slow "significantly" in the first quarter.

"Challenging" UK trading conditions seen last year had continued, it said.
AO said the UK market had been affected by weaker consumer confidence after the Brexit vote, the pick-up in inflation and a slowdown in the housing market.
Its full-year operating losses widened to Â£12m from Â£10.7m last year.
However, revenues in the year to 31 March rose 17% to Â£701.2m.
Despite the warnings about trading conditions in the UK, the operating losses come from its business in the Netherlands and Germany, where AO said investment in its new regional distribution centre in Bergheim in Germany had been higher than it had anticipated.
Shares in AO tumbled throughout afternoon trading, losing 11% to 128p. The firm floated on the stock exchange in 2014 with its shares priced at 285p.
Neil Wilson of ETX Capital, said the company was facing a difficult challenge: "It's tough shifting fridges and big-screen TVs. Without slashing prices, and destroying margins in the process, customers can go just about anywhere.
"There are similarities between AO World and Ocado. Like the grocery pick-and-pack specialist AO World is growing sales impressively but finding it hard to turn a profit."


Defender Carl Magnay is one of 11 players to leave Gateshead this summer after not being offered a new contract by the Conference Premier club.

Magnay, Colin Larkin, Jack Lester and Liam Hatch depart despite playing in the play-off final defeat by Cambridge.
In addition Ryan Noble, Josh Walker, Luke O'Brien and Jordan Holt will leave on the expiry of their current deals.
Three players who ended the season out on loan - Adam Boyes, Joe Tait and Richard Brodie - also exit.
Gateshead-born Magnay, 25, joined the Tynesiders in January 2012 following his release by Premier League side Chelsea and went on to make 67 league appearances.
He was a regular under both Anth Smith and then Gary Mills last term, scoring two goals in 34 games.
"Would loved to have stayed," Magnay posted on Twitter.
He added: "I didn't negotiate or try getting a few extra quid. Just not in the plans. Look forward to a challenge.
"It's been a pleasure Gateshead. All the best to the club and the fans."
However, Gateshead have offered new deals to the remaining members of the squad - all of whom are out of contract this summer.


Britain's Amir Khan is expecting a "crazy" atmosphere when he meets Mexico's Saul Alvarez in Las Vegas.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Former light-welterweight world champion Khan, 29, has not fought since outpointing Chris Algieri in May 2015.
But he has made a jump of two weight divisions to set up a WBC world middleweight title on 7 May, ruling out a meeting with fellow Brit Kell Brook.
"I'm going to the lion's den," said Khan. "If I beat him, it will be one of the biggest upsets in boxing."
"It's Cinco de Mayo as well, the Mexican holiday, so it's going to be crazy," he added. "I think it's brave and I think it's the right thing to do."
Khan said he wanted to fight multiple world champion Floyd Mayweather and seven-weight world champion Manny Pacquiao, but neither fights happened.
He added: "I want to be in the big fights with the big names. Alvarez I think is probably the biggest name in boxing right now.
"At first, I thought he was too big for me, but when I studied a few tapes, I thought: 'You know what, I've got a good chance of beating him'."
Bolton's Khan has won 31 and lost three of his 34 professional fights but has not won a world title after losing to Lamont Peterson in 2011.
He last fought at the MGM Grand in December 2014, beating American Devon Alexander on a unanimous decision.
"I've fought in Las Vegas three times, but normally I'm top bill," Khan told BBC Sport. "This time I'm the underdog. That will push me on even more.
"People are going to be doubting me, people are thinking it'll be an easy fight for Canelo, but he'll have his hands full."
Alvarez, nicknamed 'Canelo', has lost once and won 46 of his 48 fights. That defeat came against Mayweather in 2013.
The fight has been set at a catch-weight of 155lb, eight pounds more than Khan weighed in victory against American Algieri.
The usual limit for middleweight is 160lb, but Alvarez's last few fights have had the same weight stipulation.
"When I announced that it was going to be Alvarez, everyone was shocked," said Khan. "That's what makes this fight bigger because it was a shock to everyone.
"What's going to win the fight for me is my skills and my speed.
"I don't think I can out-power Canelo. The only way I can beat him is my speed, skill and my techniques. I think it's a 50-50 fight."


Stephen Lee has been found guilty of match-fixing charges in what officials have called "the worst case of snooker corruption we've seen".

Media playback is not supported on this device
His penalty will be announced on 24 September, with snooker's governing body expected to push for a life ban.
Lee, 38, denied the allegations, which concerned seven games in 2008 and 2009, including a World Championship match.
The World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association said more than £40,000 was paid to his wife's account.
Lee, the winner of five ranking titles, has been suspended since October 2012, when he was ranked eighth in the world.
The verdict followed an independent tribunal held in Bristol last week.
World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) chairman Jason Ferguson said in a statement: "His future participation in the sport is now in real doubt as he will face a significant sanction."
The tribunal concluded that former world number five Lee deliberately lost matches against Ken Doherty and Marco Fu at the 2008 Malta Cup and agreed to lose the first frame against both Stephen Hendry and Mark King at the 2008 UK Championship.
In addition, Lee lost matches by a pre-determined score to Neil Robertson at the 2008 Malta Cup and to Mark Selby at the 2009 China Open.
2008 Malta Cup: Conspired to lose to Ken Doherty and Marco Fu, as well as losing to Neil Robertson by a pre-determined score, with the match ending 5-1 to Robertson.
2008 UK Championship: Agreed to lose the first frame in matches against Stephen Hendry and Mark King.
2009 China Open: To lose to Mark Selby by a set score, Selby winning 5-1.
2009 World Championship: That Ryan Day would win by a pre-arranged score, Day winning 10-4.
Lee similarly conspired to lose his 2009 World Championship first round match to Ryan Day, going on to be defeated 10-4.
There is no suggestion that any other player was aware of Lee's involvement.
"This is the worst case of snooker corruption that we've seen," WPBSA disciplinary chairman Nigel Mawer told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Stephen Lee was working with three different groups who were betting on multiple platforms and the exact score and frame outcomes for matches he played in those tournaments.
"The worst case is the World Championship because that is an iconic event. To think that someone could play in that and to arrange the outcome is more than shocking."
In a full ruling, Sport Resolutions, an independent body specialising in sports arbitration, said the bets placed on the seven matches were "substantially successful".
One group associated to Lee earned towards £60,000 and another £35,000 on internet gambling alone, although these figures are likely to be higher as a result of bets placed with high-street bookmakers.
According to the WPBSA, payments of £40,000 were paid into Lee's wife's bank account between January 2008 and April 2009, while other deposits of £600, £1,000 and £2,000 are also known. Potential cash payments have not been identified.
Joe Jogia: Suspended for two years in 2012 after a probe into suspicious betting patterns
John Higgins: Found guilty of 'giving the impression' he would breach betting rules, and of failing to report the approach in 2010. Banned for six months.
Quinten Hann: Banned for eight years in 2006 after being found guilty of breaking rules by agreeing to lose a match in exchange for money.
Peter Francisco: Found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute in 1995 and given a five-year suspension.
World number three Judd Trump, speaking before the Lee verdict was announced, said that any player found guilty of match-fixing should be banned for life.
"If anybody is found guilty, they should be chucked out of the game," he told BBC Points West. "There's no time for it in any sport. It is ruining the game.
"It's going to push away sponsors and money coming into the game. People are going to look at it differently so anybody found guilty should be punished with a lifetime ban."
Lee's fellow professional Joe Jogia was given a two-year ban in July 2012 for "lower-end" offences after an investigation into suspicious betting patterns on a match in which he played.
Australian Quinten Hann was banned for eight years in 2006 for match-fixing offences after a newspaper sting in which he accepted a proposal to lose a China Open match.
While Hann remains suspended, South African Peter Francisco has returned to the game at a low level after serving a five-year match-fixing ban handed down in 1995, following his 10-2 loss to Jimmy White at the World Championship.

Germany is likely to be anxious after Brexit about the direction taken by the EU in trade and industrial policies.

On the whole Germany and the UK agree on the need for free-market and sound-finance policies, against the more protectionist and sometimes financially lax views of other member states.
The Council of Ministers is - in practice - the EU's most important arena of decision-taking.
But Germany, despite having the largest population and by far the most substantial economy, with an output almost twice that of Italy, has been no more powerful on the council than five other countries.
The UK, after Margaret Thatcher's election in 1979, was generally pro-liberalisation and internationalist in its dealings with the EU. So the UK and Germany have seen eye to eye on many issues.
Viewpoint: Brexit throws uncertain EU off balance
Without the UK as a spokesman for the market economy in the EU, it remains to be seen how other European nations will organise their thinking on these issues.
Differences of view within every European nation are profound, as part of a larger battle of ideas.
In recent decades the UK has usually been the second-largest net contributor to the EU budget, behind Germany.
The EU will need to trim its spending by at least 10% because of Brexit. Many supporters of Brexit would suggest that the EU should reduce corruption and waste, and stop entirely its expenditure (under the heading "Global Europe") on EU foreign policy.
Of course, with the UK out of the EU, our interest in these questions is that of a bystander, not a participant.
Will the eurozone go full steam ahead to close political integration?
Jean Monnet (1888-1979) is often seen as the main architect of post-war European integration and has been quoted as saying "via money Europe could become political in five years".
The so-called Five Presidents' Report of 2015 did envisage greater fiscal centralisation as a condition for the eventual success of the euro. If that were to happen, the EU would be moving closer to the full political union about which Jean Monnet dreamt.
But the euro, introduced in 1999, has not worked as he planned. There are obvious tensions between creditor nations (Germany, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands) and the debtor nations (Greece particularly, but also Italy and Spain).
With the UK again able to tailor financial regulation to its own needs, the City of London can prosper outside the EU.
The most-traded currency in the City is the dollar. But the UK is not a state in the US - it has not had to become the 51st state in order to maintain its high share of international financial business denominated in dollars.
Securities issued in many nations and in more than 100 currencies are bought and sold in London, and that will continue after Brexit.
The eurozone's share of world output has fallen heavily in the past 20 years. It is now only 15% and still declining.
The EU Single Market sounds appealing, but supporters of Brexit tend to be suspicious. They see it as an area of common and "harmonised" regulation, with the harmonisation intended to facilitate the free flow of goods, capital and people.
The free flow of people means unrestricted immigration from the EU, which Brexit is intended to stop.
Of course, when they export to the EU, British companies must comply with EU regulation, whether the UK is in the EU or not. But is there any reason why the UK should not seek an arrangement with the EU like that of, say, the US, Australia or Canada? They flourish without belonging to the Single Market.
Arguably, the UK does need special deals with the EU in such areas as cars, aerospace and food, but it should pursue its own interests.
On no account must the UK pay any money to the EU for access to the Single Market, as Norway and Switzerland do.
Nations benefit from free trade. The acme of free trade is indeed the absolute, unconditional and unilateral free trade pursued by Singapore and Hong Kong.
There must be no doubt about Britain's ability to establish a successful trade policy of its own outside the EU.
Even nations as small as Iceland and Chile, with trade values that are fractions of the UK's, have extensive international commerce, based on both mutually advantageous bilateral trade deals and the multilateral framework established by the World Trade Organization.

A pair of robins and their chicks are thought to have been driven for at least 250 miles after setting up home under the bonnet of a car in Somerset.

Dave Marchant, of Henley, found them in the engine compartment of his Toyota Land Cruiser when he checked the oil.
He believes the nesting female and six chicks travelled more than 250 miles (402 km), before being found.
Mr Marchant, said he will not use his car until the chicks have fledged.
Mr Marchant said he had initially found the nest of unhatched eggs after clocking up more than 80 miles (128 km) in one day.
"I didn't think they'd be any good. I thought the mother must have flown away, so I carried on driving it," he said.
After driving for up to another 170 miles (274 km), he checked the nest again.
"When I looked again there were a whole heap of chicks in there and they'd all hatched out," he said.
As soon as he saw the young brood, Mr Marchant said he "stopped driving the car" and "won't use it again until they have flown the nest".
"I've heard of birds nesting in old vehicles but not in one that's in use," he added.
"Just goes to show how steady a driver I am."


Alton Towers theme park has been closed while an investigation continues into a crash on their Smiler ride.

3 June 2015 Last updated at 17:10 BST
Four people were seriously hurt in the collision on Tuesday and were taken by helicopter to hospital.
Officials are trying to work out how it happened and how to keep people safe in the future.
Merlin Entertainment, which runs the park, said: "The park will remain closed until we understand better the cause of this dreadful incident."
It's not known when the park will reopen.
Ricky's been looking into the story.


Irish band U2 have mourned the death of their "irreplaceable" tour manager Dennis Sheehan, who has died of a suspected heart attack.

Singer Bono said: "We've lost a family member," adding, "He wasn't just a legend in the music business, he was a legend in our band."
Sheehan had been on the road with U2 for more than 30 years.
The band are in the middle of their latest tour and are currently playing a string of concerts in Los Angeles.
They paid tribute to Sheehan on the video screens at Wednesday night's show, said Billboard reporter Shirley Halperin.
As he introduced the song Iris, from their latest album Songs of Innocence, Bono said: "U2 is kind of family. We look after each other and it takes a lot to put on a show like tonight.
"Last night we lost a member of our family. Dennis Sheehan was his name. He was U2's tour manager for 33 years. He loved, as we all do, the city of Los Angeles and he called the Sunset Marquis his 'home away from home'.
"He came to this city as a young man in the 70s, working for Led Zeppelin. He always thought maybe U2 could be the next Led Zeppelin, which of course is impossible."
Sheehan, who was in his late 60s, had worked with other rock legends including Iggy Pop, Patti Smith and Lou Reed.
Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Chris Reade said a medical response team was sent to the Sunset Marquis hotel at around 0530 (1330 GMT) on Wednesday to reports of a man in cardiac arrest.
Sheehan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Global Music Live Nation chairman Arthur Fogel confirmed the death calling Sheehan "a dear friend to us all".
"Our heartfelt sympathy is with his wonderful family," he added.
Sheehan's death is the latest in a series of recent woes for U2.
Last year, Bono underwent extensive surgery following a high-speed bicycle crash, leaving him unable to play the guitar.
Guitarist The Edge then fell off stage on the opening night of the band's tour in Vancouver, gashing his arm.
The band were also derided when Songs of Innocence was automatically uploaded into customers' iTunes libraries.
Bono later apologised, saying the stunt was inspired by "a drop of megalomania".


A campaign to keep a Gwynedd coastal bridge open to walkers and cyclists has seen over 20,600 people sign a petition to safeguard continued access.

Gwynedd council pays Â£30,800 annually towards Network Rail's maintenance costs for Barmouth Bridge railway viaduct, which has spanned the Mawddach estuary for 148 years.
But it could withdraw funding for the link between Barmouth to Fairbourne as it looks to make Â£9m in cuts next year.
It would mean a 16-mile (26km) detour.
Campaigner Amy Martin, who was brought up at nearby Llwyngwril, started the petition amid concerns the detour could put people off visiting the area.
"This spectacular route is a strategic link across the Mawddach estuary, and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Cardigan Bay coastline and Cambrian mountains," she said.
Until 2013, 90p tolls were collected from users towards the maintenance of the Grade II-listed structure, which is largely wooden.
It is part of the Wales Coast Path which stretches 870 miles (1,400km) from the Dee estuary in Flintshire to Chepstow in the south east of Wales.
The council has identified over 100 cost-saving options worth Â£13m which will be the subject of a public consultation in the autumn before any final decisions are made.


Jim Murphy has resigned from the shadow cabinet to focus on his campaign to become the next Scottish Labour leader.

Mr Murphy had been the shadow international development secretary since October of last year.
He is one of three candidates standing in the contest to replace Johann Lamont, who quit as leader of the Scottish Labour Party last month.
Meanwhile, the MSP Kezia Dugdale has confirmed she has entered the deputy leadership race.
Speaking to BBC 5Live's Pienaar's Politics programme, Mr Murphy said: "I want to dedicate myself full-time to changing Scotland and changing the Scottish Labour Party.
"It's difficult to do that and to serve in the Shadow Cabinet, and therefore after talking to Ed Miliband over the past couple of days I've decided to stand down from the shadow cabinet."
Confirming her deputy leadership candidacy on Twitter, Ms Dugdale said: "Delighted to have secured enough nominations for deputy leader to be on ballot - will be saying much more tomorrow".
She is regarded as being a rising star within Scottish Labour, and had been seen as a potential candidate for the party leadership before ruling herself out soon after Ms Lamont quit.
The Lothians MSP is currently Labour's education spokeswoman in the Scottish Parliament.
Seven of the 11 MPs and MSPs to have nominated her for deputy leader have also nominated Mr Murphy for the leadership job.
The only other candidate to have confirmed she is standing to replace Anas Sarwar as deputy leader is the North Ayrshire and Arran MP Katy Clark.
Ms Clark has received the support of the Unison union, which on Saturday backed the MSP Neil Findlay to be party leader.
The Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) and Bakers Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) have also said they are supporting Ms Clark.
She said: "Thousands of trade unionists will be participating in this election which is a real opportunity for the leadership and deputy leadership candidates to engage with the thousands of trade unionists up and down the country who will have a vote on who leads Scottish Labour.
"Trade union members and Labour Party members have a shared agenda of wanting a Scottish Labour Party which fights to defend and improve public services and living standards.
"Scottish Labour needs to listen to what trade union members are saying. I hope that this contest will see a genuine debate as to how we can build stronger links between Scottish Labour and the trade union movement and trade union members."
Unison Scotland Labour Link chairman Gordon McKay said: "Katy Clark has a great record of campaigning on the issues that matter to Unison members in Scotland. On public services, employment rights, pensions, inequality and many other concerns.
"Her views have remained consistent with Labour's traditions and values and that is vital if Scottish Labour is to build its support in Scotland. Katy has shown before and after becoming an MP that she is on the side of working people."
The MSP Sarah Boyack is standing alongside Mr Murphy and Mr Findlay in the leadership contest. The new leadership team will be named on 13 December.


Former England captain Charlotte Edwards has joined Adelaide Strikers for the Women's Big Bash League.

Edwards, who made her England debut in 1996, retired from international cricket after being replaced as captain by Heather Knight this summer.
The 36-year-old has since led the Southern Vipers to the inaugural English Women's Super League title.
Edwards' new deal with the Strikers follows previous stints in Perth with Western Fury and the Scorchers.
The Women's Big Bash League is due to run in Australia from 10 December 2016 to 28 January 2017.


Eating a low-fat, rather than a low-carb diet leads to a greater loss of body fat, according to US National Institutes of Health scientists.

They strictly controlled the diets of 19 people so they all had exactly the same calorie intake.
The results, presented at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, showed 67% more fat was lost on a low-fat diet than a low-carb one.
But experts questioned which diets people could stick to in real life.
The researchers said most dieters ended up cutting out a mixture of protein, carbohydrate and fat from their meals so the scientists set out to explore the relative contribution of each food type.
It required experiments that could not be repeated outside a laboratory environment, in which the content of every meal was precisely controlled.
The 19 volunteers were all obese with an average body fat percentage of 40% at the start of the trial.
They spent five days on a diet designed to match how many calories their bodies were burning. It consisted of 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat and 15% protein.
They then moved to the focal point of the study for the next six days, in which calorie intake was cut by 30% or around 800 calories per day.
Half were placed on a low-carb diet of 30% carbohydrate, 49% fat and 21% protein.
The rest were placed on a low-fat diet - 72% carbohydrate, 7% fat and 21% protein.
After those six days, the participants had a couple of weeks to recover before starting all over again and trying the other diet.
Their scientific presentation said: "Body fat loss was 67% greater after six days of low fat versus low carbohydrate."
Dr Kevin Hall, from the NIH National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, told BBC News: "It's not easy, these folks had to eat the same meals every day.
"This was very strictly controlled and they had to eat the food provided and nothing else, the diets got pretty boring pretty quickly."
While providing interesting physiological insights, those comments raise concern in experts trying to help people lose weight outside strict laboratory conditions.
Susan Jebb, a professor of diet and population health at the University of Oxford, told the BBC News website: "This is a neat study, but it is very small and designed to investigate the metabolism of fat and carbohydrate under highly controlled conditions, rather than longer-term weight control, where behavioural factors become increasingly important.
"In 'real life', other factors such as the acceptability of the dietary programme, are likely to be an important factor associated with adherence and, for the most part, adherence over the longer term is likely to make a bigger difference to people's weight."
Dr Hall said long-term forecasts were "fraught with difficulties" but said their mathematical models suggested that the low-fat diet would lead to more long-term body fat loss.
The idea behind the merit of the low-fat diet is generating "fat imbalance".
The low-fat, high-carb, diet does increase the amount of fat being burned by the body, but preventing the fat entering the body in the first place seemed to have greater impact.
Cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra was concerned about the health impact of such a low-fat diet.
"The total fat intake of 7% is way too low for this to be sustainable and would likely lead to nutritional deficiencies for the essential fatty acids and the fat soluble vitamins.
"For the best health, even in the short term, eat real unprocessed foods, concentrate on good nutrition and stop counting calories!"


A teenager remains in a critical condition in hospital after getting into difficulty while out swimming in the River Nith near Dumfries.

The incident happened at about 19:30 on Wednesday when emergency services were called out to the riverbank at Carnsalloch Gardens near Kirkmahoe.
Scott Couper, 15, from Dumfries, was taken to the town's infirmary.
He had been out swimming with six friends when it is believed he suffered problems under water.
Police have urged parents to remind their children of the dangers involved with playing at, or near, water.
"Remember underwater currents may be stronger and the water may be deeper than you think," a statement said.
"There may also be thick undergrowth under the water that you are not aware of and could become entangled in."


Police are investigating the possibility that a Scots soldier who died in Florida was involved in a hit-and-run incident, his family have said.

Pte Shaun Cole, 22, from Edinburgh, had been attending the Ultra Music festival in Miami with two friends when he died.
It was reported that his body was found on a pavement on Sunday and that he died as a result of a head injury.
He was serving with the Royal Scots Borderers. Miami Police are still investigating Pte Cole's death.
Pte Cole's family said: "We would like to inform everyone that Miami Police are now following a line of inquiry that would suggest that Shaun was involved in a hit-and-run incident.
"We would like to thank Miami Police and consular staff and everyone who has offered support to our family over the last few days."
Police in the US said the former Tynecastle High School pupil had suffered a blunt force trauma to the head.
Pte Cole had recently returned from serving in Sierra Leone, where he was helping in the fight against Ebola.


When Rangers and Aberdeen met at Ibrox 25 years ago, they were only separated by the narrowest of margins.

They converged for a title-deciding match, and the outcome left one club on course for a historic achievement and the other only with regrets.
The occasion, and the raucous intensity of the crowd, was a test of the players' characters. Meekness would have undermined either side's challenge for the title, but the encounter was finely-balanced before it began.
Rangers had the advantage of being at home, with the backing of the vast majority of fans inside Ibrox. Yet Aberdeen were the form team, arriving in Glasgow on the back of a run that saw them recover from being seven points behind with 10 games to go.
On the day of the decider, they were top of the league courtesy of having scored two more goals than Rangers. That was all that was between the teams, because they were level on points and on goal difference.
"We were in really good form and it was all looking good going into the game at Ibrox. We were pretty confident," says Brian Irvine, who was a key pillar of the Aberdeen defence in that campaign, but was injured for the decider and had to watch from the bench.
"It was very tense and nervous the night before the game. But in Alex McLeish, Stewart McKimmie and Theo Snelders, we had excellent players, and Hans Gilhaus was also a real top-class player. Peter van de Ven, Brian Grant, Bobby Connor, were all great midfield players."
Rangers, too, were burdened by their own difficulties. Key players were injured and suspended, while others who made the squad were barely in any condition to play.
John Brown took an injection in his Achilles tendon before kick-off, but was still told that it was inevitable the tendon would snap during the game. Ally McCoist and Ian Durrant were on the bench, despite neither being fully fit, and both had to come on to play for significant periods.
The manager Walter Smith, too, was working in new circumstances. He had been assistant to Graeme Souness for five years, but the latter's abrupt departure for Liverpool the month before left Smith in charge at a pivotal moment.
The Aberdeen game was only his fourth as manager, and the previous week a defeat by Motherwell had handed Alex Smith's side a slight initiative. At Ibrox, a draw would have been enough for the visitors to triumph.
"I was captain that day, because Richard Gough had been ill for a few weeks in hospital," recalls Nigel Spackman, the former Rangers midfielder.
"I can always remember Walter calling me in - and it was his first title as well - that with all these injuries he was struggling to put a team out and we had to beat Aberdeen."
Critical events were scattered through the game. Mark Hateley's unforgiving leap into the air to win a high ball from Michael Watt, Aberdeen's young goalkeeper, set the tone for the occasion. It also left Watt crumpled on the ground.
Aberdeen might have taken the initiative, but Gilhaus headed over and Van de Ven shot straight at Chris Woods when clean through. Rangers needed to overcome further setbacks, with the left-back Tom Cowan breaking his leg - although he played on for 10 minutes before realising and being replaced by Durrant.
The decisive moments came either side of half-time. Hateley delivered them both, winning a towering header from Mark Walters' cross to bullet the ball past Watt, then after the interval converting from close range after Watt spilled a Maurice Johnston cross.
"We always felt we were going to win that day," Spackman says.
"After John Brown [injured his Achilles], I ended up playing centre-half, Terry Hurlock ended up playing left-back. It was just one of those amazing games.
"You can still remember the day because the atmosphere was so good. I see Big Eck [Alex McLeish] sometimes doing my TV work and I always remind him of big Mark knocking him out the way for that header. Great memories.
"That was [a pivotal moment in the nine-in-a-row run]. It never got that close again, having to win on the last day of the season. From that point on, Walter was in charge and things got better and better."
When Smith ended his second spell as Rangers manager five years ago and reflected on his career, he described the win over Aberdeen in 1991 as the greatest of his time in charge at Ibrox.
His team went on to achieve nine successive titles and match Celtic's record, but Aberdeen fell into a slump. The previous season, Alex Smith's side had won the Scottish League Cup and Scottish Cup, but following the Ibrox loss the club struggled to repeat their title challenge, slumping to sixth.
"It was pretty agonising to watch [the defeat at Ibrox]," says Irvine. "Rangers got off to a good start. We had chances as well, and if we'd got a goal early, it would have been a whole different game.
"We were just so close. When Rangers got their goal, it gave them confidence and it just drifted away from us."

A road named after the heroine of the Tomb Raider video games has opened in Derby.

In Pictures: Lara's Way
Lara Croft Way is part of the city's new Â£36.2m inner ring road system designed to improve traffic flow.
The name was chosen from a shortlist by public vote, with 89% of those polled opting for the character devised by Derby-based game studio Core Design.
Another stretch of the network will be named Mercian Way after the local army regiment.
The ring road is part of the Connecting Derby scheme, a long-term project to improve transport links in the area.
Councillor Matthew Holmes, cabinet member for planning and environment, said: "The opening of Lara Croft Way signifies another major milestone of the Connecting Derby scheme which is fast approaching completion after many years of hard work by a great number of terrific individuals.
"Derby is proud of its place in a vibrant creative industry and Lara Croft Way is fantastic way to celebrate that."
The completion of Lara Croft Way will allow drivers to access Burton Road, Babington Lane and Normanton Road via the new roundabout at the junction of Burton Road and Normanton Road.
The Inner Ring Road project is due to be fully completed at the start of 2011.


US officials say Osama Bin Laden's body was treated with respect and buried at sea, but some Muslims argue there was no good reason for not burying it on land.

Islamic tradition requires the dead to be buried as soon as possible, unless an autopsy is required.
The US military took this requirement very seriously, burying the body within hours.
"Traditional procedures for Islamic burial were followed," an official said.
Religious rites were carried out on the deck of a US aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson. The body, shrouded in a white sheet and placed in a weighted bag, was then positioned on a flat board, tipped up, and eased into the Arabian Sea.
This occurred at 0600GMT, approximately 12 hours after the firefight during which Osama Bin Laden was shot in the head.
After this first shot, reports ABC News' The Blotter, he was shot again, to make sure that he was dead.
â€¬The body was then flown to Afghanistan and Bin Laden's identity was confirmed. Officials say a DNA sample was taken that matched that of several other family members. Some sources say facial recognition technology was also used.
From Afghanistan, the body was, it appears, flown to the USS Carl Vinson.
"A military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker," a US defence official said.
According to UK-based Imam Dr Abduljalil Sajid, Chairman of the Muslim Council for Religious & Racial Harmony, four key steps need to be followed:
There is no necessity for an imam to be present, he says, but the procedures should be carried out by Muslims at least one of whom "knows the minimum basic Muslim law of burial".
Whether any such person was present is impossible to know, he says, based on the limited information provided. But he also questions whether sea burial was appropriate in this case.
It is correct to carry out a burial at sea when someone dies on a sea journey, he says, but in this case there was no sound reason for it.
The US authorities could surely have found someone - a member of the extensive Bin Laden family, or even one of the many supporters of his "evil" ideology - who would have been prepared to give the body a proper burial, he argues.
His words were echoed by Mohammed Qudah, a professor of Islamic law at the University of Jordan, who told the Associated Press news agency that burying Bin Laden at sea was not forbidden if there was nobody to receive the body and provide a Muslim burial.
But he went on: "It's neither true nor correct to claim that there was nobody in the Muslim world ready to receive Bin Laden's body."
The agency also quoted Dubai's grand mufti Mohammed al-Qubaisi, saying that sea burials were permissible only in extraordinary circumstances, adding: "This is not one of them."
"If the family does not want him, it's really simple in Islam: You dig up a grave anywhere, even on a remote island, you say the prayers and that's it," he said.
US officials have given two reasons why a sea burial was chosen. First, that they did not want his grave to become a shrine. Second, that there was no time to negotiate with other countries to arrange a possible burial on land.
According to CBS News, Saudi Arabia refused to take the body. If correct, this suggests that an offer was made - and that had Saudi Arabia accepted the body, there would have been a grave, which could in theory have become a shrine.
However, ABC's Jonathan Karl, writing before the burial was confirmed, painted a different picture:
"US officials tell me the last thing they want is for his burial place to become a terrorist shrine.
"To avoid that, an informed source tells me, the intention is to bury his body at sea - leaving no definitive location for the final resting place of his body."


An Australian court has granted bail to a Malaysian woman who withdrew more than A$4.6m (Â£2.3m) mistakenly made available to her by a bank.

A lawyer representing Christine Jiaxin Lee, 21, said she had spent about A$1m on luxury items including handbags.
Ms Lee, a student, was arrested at Sydney airport on Wednesday while trying to travel to Malaysia.
Prosecutors say she withdrew the money from Westpac bank within a year and did not notify authorities of the error.
She has been charged with obtaining financial advantage by deception and with knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime, Australian broadcaster ABC reported.
The court in Sydney heard that Ms Lee, a chemical engineering student who has lived in Australia for five years, had opened a Westpac bank account in August 2012 and had mistakenly been given an unlimited overdraft.
Magistrate Lisa Stapleton granted Ms Lee bail on Thursday, although under strict conditions.
Ms Lee's lawyer said the student had been trying to return to Malaysia to visit her parents.


Noel Fielding told the Sunday Times earlier this week that he "can't put on weight" because he gets more work when he's thinner.

He later clarified his comments but the new Great British Bake Off host had lifted the lid on a big issue.
The beauty standards imposed on women in media are nothing new, but the experiences of their male counterparts have often been overlooked.
In recent years, more male stars have spoken out about their struggles.
This week, Blue singer and stage actor Antony Costa spoke about the fat-shaming abuse he faced on social media and explained the pressures of showbusiness.
"Me as a bloke being in this business, it's hard because you've got to keep up with the Joneses, you've got to been seen to have the six pack." he told ITV's Lorraine.
In a 2016 survey of more than 1,000 boys aged between eight and 18, 55% said they would consider changing their diet to look better and 23% said they believed there was "a perfect male body to strive for".
The survey also found that the four biggest sources of pressure on secondary school boys to look good were:
Despite the relentless pressure that young men can feel from the media, the survey found that more than half of the boys (56%) would find it difficult to talk to a teacher about their confidence and nearly one-third (29%) would find it difficult talking to their parents about it.
Here are nine male celebrities who have spoken out about body image and are calling on the media to change their attitudes.
After losing almost 50lb in a year, singer Sam Smith told NME magazine in October 2015 that negative body image has been something he has struggled with since childhood.
"I still feel pressured to look a certain way," he said. "For women, the pressure in this industry is horrendous and it's got to stop. But it's the same for guys, even though they won't speak about it."
He continued: "I want to be a voice for that: just because I've lost weight doesn't mean that I'm happy and content with my body. Because of the media, and because of what I feel I should look like, it's always going to be a battle in my head."
Yes, you read that right! Actor Chris Pratt - who plays the gun-toting, butt-kicking, ripped Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy - has struggled with body image, too.
In a press conference for the film in 2014, he said: "I'm sure I can't relate to what females go through in Hollywood. I'm sure I can't. But, I do know what it feels like to eat emotionally, andâ€¦ to be sad and make yourself happy with food.
"And then to be almost immediately sad again and now ashamed and then to try to hide those feelings with more food. I know what that's like. It's a vicious cycle and it's a very real thing."
In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2016, talk show host James Corden opened up about how he dealt with his confidence in school.
He explained: "If you're big at school, you've really got two choices. You're going to be a target. If you go to school and you're me, you go, 'Right, I'm just going to make myself a bigger target. My confidence, it will terrify them.' That's how I felt in school."
Corden also touched on his frustrations on the way Hollywood represents larger people.
He said: "I could never understand when I watch romantic comedies. The notion that for some reason unattractive or heavy people don't fall in love.
"If they do, it's in some odd, kooky, roundabout way - and it's not. It's exactly the same."
Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller opened up about his depression after being the subject of an internet meme joke by The Lad Bible in 2016.
Miller wrote in a Facebook post: "In 2010, at the lowest point in my adult life, I was looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction. And I turned to food."
He continued: "It could have been anything. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. But eating became the one thing I could look forward to. Count on to get me through".
Alex Sharp starred alongside Lily Collins in Netflix drama To The Bone, which follows a girl's treatment for anorexia.
When Collins' character is admitted into a recovery home with six other patients, she meets Luke (played by Sharp), the only male patient in the house.
Talking to Broadway World about portraying a man struggling with an eating disorder, Sharp said: "It happens a lot and I think sometimes - because it is under-discussed and a taboo subject generally - when it is discussed it tends to be more about the female experience, because it is more prevalent, numerically.
"There had never been a representation of that in a feature-length movie. So that was something I was very interested in doing."
Iron Man 3 star Ashley Hamilton told People in 2013 that he had suffered from bulimia and anorexia since he was a teenager and that he used drugs and alcohol to control his food addiction.
"I've been free from bulimia for years but I still struggle with food, restricting or overeating. That's been the hardest for me in sobriety," he admitted.
He continued: "It's almost like drug addiction is totally acceptable to talk about in Hollywood. But food addiction? Nobody wants to talk about that. It's really shameful as a man to have that."
The chart-topping singer told Planet Radio in a 2014 interview: "I was never really happy with my image and then I realised it was because I was eating fried food and drinking beer every day. You don't have to kill yourself by getting into shape. Just eat right and don't drink every day."
Commenting on body image pressures in the music industry, Sheeran said: "There's enough fat people in the industry and there's enough skinny people in the industry and there's enough ginger people in the industry.
"There's enough of everyone in the industry, and usually the ones that aren't attractive are the ones that do the best."
Before starring in Orange is the new Black and How to Get Away With Murder, Matt McGorry used to be a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder, which actually made him more critical of his body.
When asked what we could do to change the conversation around male body issues he told US TV show Today: "When we lock our boys away from these feelings, not only are they more likely to hurt themselves but they're also more likely to hurt others and to be the ones who are policing masculinity amongst other men."
Despite being nominated as one of the world's "sexiest men alive" in 2009, Twilight star Robert Pattinson has still admitted to feeling insecure.
In an interview with Australia's Sunday Style magazine in 2013, the Twilight actor revealed he suffers from body dysmorphia - an anxiety disorder that causes a person to have a distorted view of how they look.
"I don't have a six-pack and I hate going to the gym. I've been like that my whole life. I never want to take my shirt off," he said.

Canadian defenceman Jerome Leduc has joined the Belfast Giants for the remainder of the season.

The 24-year-old from Québec was with Czech Republic side HC Dynamo Pardubice before signing for the Giants.
"We're excited to be able to bring in a player of Jerome's quality - he'll add stability to our d-corps," said Steve Thornton, Head of Hockey Operations.
Leduc is available for this weekend's two games against leaders Cardiff, with the Giants three points back.
He was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the third round, 68th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Following his draft year, in the 2011/12 season Leduc led the Québec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in both goals as well as points by a defenceman.
Leduc spent the following four seasons in the AHL with the Rochester Americans, the Buffalo Sabres affiliate, where he posted 19 goals and 38 assists in 228 games played.
The Ottawa Senators traded for Leduc in a seven-player deal in February 2016 and he was directly assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, for the remainder of the season.
Leduc then signed a one-year contract with HC Dynamo Pardubice, posting four goals and five assists in 41 games played, before joining the Giants.
Thornton added: "Unfortunately we received news that Alex Foster will miss a significant number of games following an injury sustained in the game against Fife and we made sure to move quickly to bring in the best possible player available."


Kal Naismith was on target again to help Portsmouth move eight points clear of fourth-placed Luton as they beat Yeovil 3-1 at Fratton Park.

The away side almost took the lead in the fourth minute but Tom Eaves could not direct his free header on target.
However, Yeovil were punished for the missed opportunity 10 minutes later when defender Bevis Mugabi caught Pompey's Gary Roberts in the area to concede a penalty.
Gareth Evans confidently stepped up to tuck the spot-kick into the bottom corner, sending goalkeeper Artur Krysiak the wrong way.
But Yeovil drew level six minutes after the interval when Francois Zoko looped his effort over the head of goalkeeper David Forde.
Naismith restored Pompey's lead in the 68th minute as he drilled an effort past Krysiak to take his tally to 11 goals in all competitions this season.
Substitute Jamal Lowe added a third two minutes after coming on to open his Portsmouth account and edge them closer towards League One.

Heavy snow has disrupted public transport in southern China, stranding tens of thousands of people outside a rail station, police say.

The crowd outside Guangzhou station swelled to nearly 100,000 at its peak on Monday night, police said.
Central China has experienced some of its coldest weather in years.
The rare snow has coincided with the run-up to Chinese New Year - where hundreds of millions of migrant workers travel home to see their families.
Many trains from north and central China were delayed by the snow - leaving passengers in the south stranded with no transport.
More than 50,000 people still remained stuck outside Guangzhou railway station on Tuesday, state media said.
Local police said 5,200 officers had been deployed to maintain order.
They urged passengers to check their train details online and avoid "blindly heading to the station to wait for trains", saying this would exacerbate the overcrowding.
Officials estimate nearly three billion trips will take place over the holiday season, in what is considered the world's biggest annual human migration.
Meanwhile, traffic jams had led to more than 400 people in Guangzhou missing their flights, Xinhua news agency reported.


Essex batsman Kishen Velani is pleased with how his side are progressing in the limited-overs formats.

Essex are through to the T20 Blast quarter-finals and currently sit top of the South Group in the One-Day Cup.
"The team's in a great place, especially in white-ball cricket," 20-year-old Velani told BBC Essex.
"We've won five of our last seven T20 games and now won our first two one-dayers. Hopefully we keep this momentum going throughout the competition."
Essex's 152-run victory over Warwickshire on Wednesday was built on a 191-run opening partnership between Tom Westley and Mark Pettini, with both hitting centuries.
"Tom Westley and Mark Pettini batted fantastically; they set the platform for us," said Velani.
"With the strength of our batting, that's all we can ask for - to keep wickets at the end and then the lower order can come in and bat freely."


A 51-year-old man has died after getting into difficulties while kitesurfing off the coast of Hampshire.

The man was in the sea near Hayling Island when he got into trouble during a sudden squall on Sunday morning.
A fellow kitesurfer dragged him to a buoy and raised the alarm with lifeboats.
He was taken ashore and the coastguard helicopter was called to the scene. The man was airlifted to hospital but later died.
Hampshire Constabulary said he was from Hayling Island and that officers were supporting his family.


A converted chicken shed and a family home have picked up prizes at the Welsh Architecture Awards.

The Royal Society of Architects in Wales (RSAW) picked Silver House on Gower as building of the year and The Chickenshed in Trellech, Monmouthshire, won an award in the special category.
These buildings were picked from a shortlist of four.
Judges described Silver House as a "very elegant and thoughtful piece of architecture".
Silver House was designed by Hyde + Hyde Architects while The Chickenshed, a holiday home, was designed by Hall + Bednarczyk Architects.
The Chickenshed was described as "very simple and elegant" by the judging panel when the winners were announced at Cardiff and Vale College on Tuesday.


Harassment against US diplomats by Russian security and intelligence services is on the rise, US officials say.

The issue has become so pressing that it has been raised directly with President Vladimir Putin, a US Department of State spokeswoman said.
The problems began two years ago following US-imposed sanctions over the Ukraine crisis, she added.
Specific incidents have not officially been revealed.
But the Washington Post said they included breaking into the homes of embassy staff, rearranging furniture and even killing a family pet.
No official response has been made by Russia but a statement to the Post did not deny the charge and said there had been US provocation against Russian diplomats.
The former US ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, told the newspaper that while his family was living in Moscow they were routinely followed by security services that wanted him to know they were being watched.
He said that incidents increased after the US and European Union imposed sanctions on Russian leaders following the annexation of Crimea and ongoing Russian involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
"After the invasion of Ukraine, it got much, much worse," Mr McFaul told the newspaper.
"We were feeling embattled out there in the embassy," he said.


A couple knocked themselves unconscious practising a lift from the Dirty Dancing film for their wedding.

Sharon Price and fiance Andy Price were trying to recreate a scene from the 80s film, in a pub garden in Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, at the weekend.
Mr Price said: "We were about 30ft apart and Sharon ran and I grabbed her hips and the next thing we knew we were flat out on the floor."
The couple, who are marrying next year, are now planning a slow dance.
The 1987 film, starring Patrick Swayze, is one of Ms Price's favourite films.
"I've always watched it and me and my daughter watch it, over and over again," she said.
"We thought it would be something different.  Everybody else slow dances, so we thought we'd jazz it up a bit."
It was on Saturday, on the "spur of the moment" that the couple decided to "get a bit of practice in" and try out the famous Hollywood dance move.
"There was no build up, no warm up and that was it," said Mr Price.
"I think I knocked myself out biting the floor as hard as I did. I wasn't too aware of what was going on after that."
Ms Price is also unsure: "I can remember running towards Andy and then the next thing just struggling for breath and my back was hurting."
With him "in and out of consciousness" and her conscious but "struggling for breath" - an ambulance and rapid response vehicle were called and the couple were taken to Southmead Hospital.
The couple, who coincidently have the same surnames, said they would rethink their first dance for the wedding.
"I don't think we'll have that one at the wedding, I think we'll go for a traditional slow one and I'll let Andy choose," said Ms Price.


Enterprise zones are not a "quick fix" for the Welsh economy, a Labour AM and former council leader has claimed.

Swansea East AM Mike Hedges said the zones did not include life sciences, or do enough for hi-tech communications.
In an article for the Institute of Welsh Affairs, he called for closer links with universities, with the aim of long term, sustainable job creation.
The Welsh government said enterprise zones were "just one component" of its action to boost jobs and growth.
The Welsh government set up seven enterprise zones in 2011 and 2012 to encourage new firms in specific industries:
Mr Hedges said lessons had to be learned from enterprise zones of the 1980s - which included Swansea - saying reports showed up to 80% of the jobs created had been lost elsewhere, especially in retail.
"In Swansea, the term enterprise zone is used as an alternative name for an out-of-town shopping area," he said.
The AM also noted that the record of just over 2,000 jobs created in the seven new zones over four years would be "disappointing to those who see enterprise zones as a quick fix".
"Whilst enterprise zones are one way of helping to develop the economy, working closely with universities and commercially exploiting their research is another," he said, warning against expanding or creating new zones.
"We need to be patient and produce sustainable employment rather than bringing in another LG at substantial cost," he added.
In 1996 the Korean firm LG had promised to create 6,000 jobs by opening an electronics plant in Newport, in one of Wales' biggest ever inward investment projects.
At its height the site employed 3,000, closing in 2006 at a cost to the taxpayer of Â£60m.
The Welsh government said its pro-business policies were delivering record levels of inward investment, and incomes and employment was rising faster than other parts of the UK.
A spokesperson said: "The report recognises and reiterates what we have said from the outset, that enterprise zones are not a quick fix and form just one component of our action to create jobs and economic growth in Wales."
The spokesperson added that between 2013 and 2014 employment in the life sciences sector in Wales increased more quickly than in the UK, and more quickly than in all the other priority sectors in Wales.


Jennifer Aniston is set to return to TV screens for her first series since Friends wrapped in 2004.

She's set to star alongside Reese Witherspoon in a new HBO drama about breakfast TV shows, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Jennifer has been busy appearing in films since Friends ended, but has made the occasional guest appearance in shows like 30 Rock and Cougar Town.
This currently-untitled show would be her first role in a full series.
The project is at the very early stages and hasn't started filming yet, or even been bought by a network.
It is being led by former HBO head of drama Michael Ellenberg and his newly launched film and TV production company Media Res.
Jennifer and Reese will be credited as executive producers - but it's not clear how much involvement that will actually involve behind the scenes.
The pair have of course been seen on the small screen together before, when Reese played Rachel's self-centred younger sister in Friends.
Jennifer has been concentrating on her movie career in recent years - starring in films like We're The Millers, Cake, Horrible Bosses and Marley & Me.
This new series is far from the first fictionalised account of what goes on behind the scenes in TV studios.
Recent movies to tackle the subject include Morning Glory, starring Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton, while Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom depicted a nightly cable news programme.
More recently, Vanessa Williams has been seen playing the creator and executive producer of the lunchtime talk show in VH1's Daytime Divas.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says the club are likely to make a third bid for Wayne Rooney - but not until after Monday's clash with Manchester United.

United have rejected two bids, the latest £25m plus add-ons, from Chelsea for the 27-year-old England striker.
"I don't want Chelsea to do it before we go there," Mourinho said after their 2-1 defeat of Aston Villa.
"I think this period, by the ethical point of view, is a period where we're going to be quiet."
Mourinho takes Chelsea to Old Trafford on Monday for new United manager David Moyes's first home match.
Rooney, who came on as a substitute in Manchester United's 4-1 win over Swansea on Saturday, is understood to be intent on leaving, even though United manager Moyes insists the striker is not for sale.
Mourinho said in July that Rooney is his only transfer target, but then claimed before his side's win over Aston Villa that the club have back-up options if they fail to sign the former Everton player.
"We have plans B and C. Don't ask me names. It's difficult to speak about players from other clubs," he said.
"We have the conditions to try to improve our team by bringing in one more player and we are going to try that till the end."
Mourinho admits the Blues are likely to continue their pursuit of Rooney, although the Portuguese accepts United are under no obligation to sell the player, just as Chelsea rebuffed Barcelona's attempts to sign David Luiz.
"You try, because nobody forbids you to try," Mourinho said.
"When you think that you'd like to have one player and the market is open and the official bids are not forbidden, official bids are always accepted in an ethical way.
"Of course, the player's owners can do exactly what we did in relation to David Luiz and Barcelona."

Everyone got into the party spirit on Wednesday evening after the Republic of Ireland beat Italy 1-0 in Lille, including these fans in Clonard.

The historic win secures the team of a place in the final 16 of the Euro 2016 Championship, alongside Northern Ireland.
Paula McCann captured the celebrations on her way home from the 21:00 BST Novena service at Clonard Monastery.
She said she heard about the victory at the Monastery shop.
"I was delighted to find out that both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland had made it through to the next round.
"As I was driving home, I came across a party taking place near to the monastery. It looked like they were having so much fun - I was really tempted to stop and join.
"Some of the fans came over and spoke to us in the car to tell us about the match. It sounds like it was a tricky enough game, but we were all routing for them to get a win and thankfully they did," she added.
However this wasn't the only celebration taking place in Clonard.
Even the priest delivering the last Novena service of the evening showed his support for the Boys in Green.
Northern Ireland will play Wales on Saturday at 17:00, while the Republic of Ireland will face the host nation France on Sunday at 14:00.

A man who is in a critical condition after being shot in the neck in Carrickfergus, County Antrim has been named locally as George Gilmore.

DUP MP Sammy Wilson told the BBC Monday's shooting was part of an ongoing paramilitary feud in the area.
The victim is understood to be a high-profile loyalist.
Mr Wilson said things had escalated to the point where one side "in broad daylight and unmasked had taken the opportunity to try to kill".
There has been an ongoing feud between loyalist factions in Carrickfergus for months, and Mr Wilson said there was a chance of retaliation in the area.
"There is no point in me or anyone else appealing to the two sides to back off, the police should make quick arrests and put people behind bars to send out a message that if this continues then people will be caught and they will serve long times in jail," he said.
The gun attack happened at Pinewood Avenue in Woodburn on Monday afternoon.
The ambulance service received a call at about 14:15 GMT following reports of a man with a gunshot wound, and he was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.
DUP MLA David Hillditch said: "When guns are brought on to the street in broad daylight in a heavily built up area, it only brings home the dangers that are involved in this type of feud.
Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson said the attack had "cast a shadow" over the area.
"Any attack of this nature where a weapon is discharged is incredibly scary for the community," he said.
"Who knows what the risks are - obviously an individual has been seriously injured, but on top of that there there are people living in houses locally, there are schools and businesses in the area that are vulnerable to this type of attack.
"It is absolutely appalling."
The shooting came after a serious assault on a door man at a nearby bar on Sunday.
Two brothers and another man from Carrickfergus appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with attempted murder.


A rare purse has been found in the middle of one of the world's largest hoards of celtic coins.

The Jersey hoard was found in a field by metal detectorists Richard Miles and Reg Meade in 2012.
The leather purse is about the size of an average palm and is described as an important find by senior conservator Neil Mahrer.
He said they have so far removed some 40,000 coins and this was the first bag they had come across.
Mr Mahrer said: "It is made of leather, it looks like it is either made of one sheet or bootlace strands.
"It is about 8cm across and 4cm deep. It is joined at one side to two rings that could have been for fixing it to a belt."
The team from Jersey Heritage have been working for the past 18 months on removing the coins one at a time. There are an estimated 70,000 coins in the hoard.
Mr Mahrer said: "The really important thing that might change our ideas is when we get to look at the coins themselves as we don't know the significance of the purse to the people who buried the hoard."
He said they would be removing all the coins surrounding the purse so they could then remove it with the earth in a single block.
The previous major find from the hoard was a selection of gold jewellery.
Mr Mahrer said: "Since removing the gold torques we thought we were in a coin-rich areas but seeing this it looks like we're in a rich seem of surprises again.
"Finding a purse where the whole thing is intact with the coins inside is pretty rare."


Full-back Ben Ransom has joined Championship side London Irish from Premiership and European Champions Cup winners Saracens.

The 24-year-old spent six seasons with the north London side and has previously spent time playing in the second tier with Bedford Blues.
The Exiles have not disclosed the length of the former England under-20 international's contract.
"Ben is a great acquisition," director of rugby Nick Kennedy said.
"He has Championship experience which will be very useful as we gear up for what will be a very competitive campaign."


A tax on sugary food and drinks may need to be introduced to fight obesity, says the chief medical officer for England.

Professor Dame Sally Davies is the government's top medical adviser. She told MPs that they had to be tough on food and drink companies.
The food industry said it was working on cutting sugar in their products.
A sugar tax would most likely mean that sweet foods cost more to buy.
Dame Sally said: "We have a generation of children who, because they're overweight and their lack of activity, may well not live as long as my generation."
In January, a new campaign group was formed to call on food and drink companies to cut the amount of sugar in the things they make.
Yeo Valley Family Farm 0% Fat Vanilla Yogurt (150g serving) - contains equivalent of 5 teaspoons of sugar
Heinz Classic Tomato Soup (300g) - 4 teaspoons
Kellogg's Frosties (with semi-skimmed milk) (30g) - 4 teaspoons
Heinz Tomato Ketchup (15ml) - 1 teaspoon
Hovis Soft White Bread Medium (40g) - 0.4 teaspoon

Do you think a sugar tax is a good idea for fighting obesity? Would you be happy about paying a bit more for sweet treats?
Perhaps you think there are other ways to help kids stay healthy?
Thanks for all your comments on this - a selection of your comments are below:
Being quite athletic means I need energy, and I have to sometimes have sugary foods, but a tax would just put me off the food, and I don't have any other way to gain energy, so in my opinion, it's a bad idea.
Zoe, Luton, England
I think it is a bad idea to eat junk food because it can cause obesity and diabetes which can kill you. Also because I eat lots of it I get sick all the time.
Ciara, Croxley Green, London
No way, because when my mum makes cakes it's very expensive! If you add on more it will be very expensive!
Emily, Channel Islands
I think it is a good idea because there are so many overweight children, that I think may have a heart attack in the future. This will stop some children from being overweight.
Sophie, Kent, England
I don't think it's a good idea because what about the people who aren't obese and like to spend pocket money on chocolates every now and then? If there is a sugar tax, it's just making people have to spend more money- rip off.
Jessica, Manchester, England
I think it is a very good idea because then people will not eat as many sugary things because it will be more expensive.
Bethany, Isle of Barra, Scotland
I think it is a good idea, they should maybe lower the price of fruit and vegetables even more but still pay the people who produce the fruit and veg the same amount if not even more. It will encourage us to think about what we are eating and also to eat more fruit and veg.
Holly, Edinburgh, Scotland
I think it is a good idea because some people won't pay that much for junk food but I think people who are obsessed will buy it no matter what.
Fatima, Leicester, England
I think it's a great idea to put a tax on all sugary foods.  In order to get people to eat more fruit and vegetables, the price of healthy food should be brought down a lot so it helps to stop people from suffering from obesity and diabetes.
Jess, Essex, England
I don't eat a lot of sugary food, but I still think a tax isn't the right answer. It will mean that people who don't have much money can't afford treats, plus I won't be able to buy myself an occasional sugary drink!
Stephanie, Norwich, England
I think it's a great idea to put a tax on all sugary foods. It will stop obesity and the prices will be too much for people to buy. It will also prevent young children from getting tooth decay at a young age.
Kegan, Great Yarmouth, England
Most of us feel that if it is really about fighting obesity then it is okay to put the tax on the sugary foods as this will hopefully stop people from buying so much of it. We also think that in order to get people to eat more fruit and vegetables, the tax on healthy food should be brought down.
Sapphire Class, St Catherine's Primary School, England
I think that a sugar tax is a good idea because people should not eat too many sugary things. Sugar is not good for our bodies. It's okay to have sugary foods sometimes but you should not have too much of it.
Jessica, London, England
I don't think it's the best idea because I eat junk food and so do people I know. But as long as we exercise, we don't put on weight or lack activity.

Garth Brooks has said he wants to put on all five concerts in Dublin or none at all after the city's council refused licences for two of them.

Dublin City Council granted permission for only three out of five Brooks concerts - on 25, 26 and 27 July - at Croke Park this month.
About 400,000 fans have booked tickets.
The organiser of the concerts said he was hopeful but not optimistic that all five would go ahead.
Peter Aiken, from Aiken Promotions, said that those with tickets should "hold fire" on seeking a refund or cancelling travel plans, but that the chances of all five concerts going ahead did not "look very promising".
On Thursday evening, the Press Association reported Brooks as saying: "I can't thank the people of Ireland enough for how welcome they have made me feel.
"I have faith that Dublin City Council will make the best decision for the people of Ireland.
"For us, it is five shows or none at all. To choose which shows to do and which shows not to do, would be like asking to choose one child over another."
Mr Aiken said he felt "disbelief" at Dublin City Council's decision but was trying to make sure the concerts went ahead.
"I'm doing everything I can but there's only so much I can do," he said.
"The man himself, Garth, has said, and I support him, that he cannot come and do three shows and not do two.
"I think the police or anybody would applaud that. I think it would be crazy to do three shows.
"The 160,000 people who don't have tickets, what are they supposed to do? They would be devastated."
Mr Aiken dismissed reports the concerts could be staged at a different venue and said: "It's Croke Park or nowhere."
He also said he had never heard of permission being denied to "any other major show in Dublin ever".
In a statement on Thursday, Dublin City Council said: "It would not be appropriate to grant five consecutive nights of concerts."
They said the scale of the concerts was "unprecedented" and would lead to "an unacceptable level of disruption" for residents and businesses near Croke Park.
However, Mr Aiken said he had no indication that the council would reject the five concerts and that the company had followed their usual procedure for applying for the licences.
"The thing people don't understand is, I wouldn't be allowed to put the show on sale unless people said go ahead.
"In every way we went, we did it exactly how we've done every other show in Ireland.
"The deadline for the licence application is 10 weeks. We had it in 14 weeks beforehand.
"Dublin City Council need to know that what we're putting in is safe, that we can get it done in the time that we say.
"It would be foolish of them not to put us through a rigorous examination, and they did."
Earlier, some residents near Croke Park started a petition to allow the concerts to go ahead.
Dublin City councillor Gary Gannon, who is from the Croke Park area, said that there was a "silent majority" of residents who are not against the Garth Brooks concerts.
Residents near the GAA stadium had threatened legal action after the initial two concerts were increased to five.
The council said 373 submissions had been received from residents, residents' groups and local businesses.
However, Mr Gannon said: "Some of those most vocally against these concerts don't live in the area.
"There is no single voice or group who speaks for the area's residents.
"There is a silent majority. Some are indifferent to the concerts, but there are also many who feel disrespected by the GAA.
"They have no sympathy with Croke Park, but they do have sympathy with the thousands of fans who have tickets for these concerts."
Mr Gannon said that residents would let the concerts go ahead if it was followed by the full implementation of the recommendation of mediator Kieran Mulvey.
Last month, Mr Mulvey, from the Labour Relations Commission, produced a report aiming to strike an agreement between the GAA and Croke Park area residents.
He said that in "no circumstances" should four or five consecutive concerts be organised for the venue in future and recommended a 500,000 euro (£396,000) "legacy fund" for the area.
The only way to appeal the Dublin City Council's decision is by going to the courts.
However, Mr Gannon said that "common sense" should allow the concerts to go ahead if the petition is successful.
"These concerts are important for the local and national economy. We're asking for some level of leadership and that people don't make excuses behind legislation."
Irish prime minister Enda Kenny said he hoped a solution would be found but said he would not "interfere in any way".
In a statement on Thursday, Dublin City Council said: "It would not be appropriate to grant five consecutive nights of concerts."
They said the scale of the concerts was "unprecedented" and would lead to "an unacceptable level of disruption" for residents and businesses near Croke Park.
The council also said that granting all five concerts, following on from three by One Direction in May, would have doubled the previous maximum number of concerts held at Croke Park per year.
It is understood to be unlikely that promoters will be able to use an alternative venue, such as the Aviva Stadium, as there is not enough time for a licence application.
The GAA said they "will fully assess the implication" of the announcement and make no further comment before Monday, 7 July.


A car ploughed into the front of a bungalow after colliding with another vehicle and coming off the road.

It happened on Hearthcote Road in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, just before 02:00 BST. The Range Rover ended up embedded in the property.
Derbyshire Police said no one was hurt but two people had to leave their home and have not been able to return due to fears over structural damage.
An investigation has begun and police have appealed for witnesses.
BBc reporter Martyn Williams, at the crash scene, said: "Part of the front wall has been completely demolished with bits of brick and wall everywhere.
"One part of the wall has moved at least four or five metres from where it originally was."
The road was closed for about an hour and no arrests were made.
Police said one driver suffered minor injuries but did not need to go to hospital.


Hundreds of swimmers have braved the sea off Porthcawl, Bridgend county, for the annual Christmas Day event.

The fancy dress theme for the 51st Christmas morning swim was pirates and parrots - along with the usual Santas and elves.
The event, which included carol singing and Christmas music, raised money for lifeboat charity, the RNLI.
Organisers thanked volunteers and swimmers for their "unquestionable dedication and support".
