The riots may be long gone, but the aftermath still dominated the front-pages this week, as the nation wrung its collective conscience and pondered whether harsh sentences that made an example of the guilty would dissuade copy-cat activities in the future.

For thousands of sixth-form students, however, the only stats worth knowing were the percentages of those successfully making the grades necessary to secure them their first choice of university. With student fees set to rocket next year, unsurprisingly record numbers of would-be undergraduates were fighting for one of the coveted uni places - or just fighting to get a connection to the UCAS website, which crashed under the collective weight of the clearing scrabble.

Just in time, HuffPostUK launched its very first new section since launch, Universities & Education, providing a platform for educators and the would-be educated to tell their stories, swap advice and flex their blogging muscle.

We were delighted to have NUS President Liam Burns blogging alongside the Shadow Secretary for Education, however, this is a platform for everyone and I invite those of you who got the A-Levels you wanted, and those of you who didn't, as well as everyone for whom A-Level-results day is a distant if still painful memory, to join the debate.

If nothing else, it should give you something to do in-between X Factor episodes - or maybe you're not watching this year? Got another TV recommendation for the rainy Saturday nights? Our entertainment team is all ears!

The riots will most likely return ..... The world money supply is imploding and freezing .....

The 16 hours of 22-23 August 2011 represent a 153 year crystalization point of US Equity second fractal nonlinearity in Saturation Macroeconomics. There will be lower lows to come but the nonlinear lower trading gaps will be obvious.

In 2005 the simple operational workings of the debt-money-asset macroeconomic system, observationally and empirically derived, were defined in the main page of The Economic Fractalist.

In the final paragraph of the final daily update posting there is a self made challenge

Saturation Curve Fractal Analysis - A Real Science?

.......... The evolving integrative fractals that appear to so well describe ..... the saturation areas, and importantly predict with relative exactness the expected nonlinearities of the complex
macroeconomic system, have the fundamental characteristics of a real science.

In the Huffington Post, 11 October 2007 was predicted prospectively as the peak saturation day for the Wilshire and was the 40th day of a x/2.5x/2x :: 20/50/40 day reflexic Lammert fractal.

Historical 150 year nonlinearity for US and global equities and nonlinear reciprocal money flow dependent into the now rated AA+ US long term debt instruments resulting in 150 year low interest are crystallized into a narrow time window of 16 or so hours on 22, 23 August and perhaps 24 and 25 August with expected trading halts.
