Scholars have hit their target of raising £1.1m to secure the future of an early Biblical manuscript.

Article: The couple, who were married in England last year, have begun a court challenge to Northern Ireland's marriage laws.
It is the only part of the UK and Ireland that bans same-sex marriage.
Their barrister said they were stripped of lawful marriage at home, with their rights "returning and disappearing" as they cross state lines.
The couple have taken a case at the High Court in Belfast in an attempt to get the court to declare that their marriage remains fully constituted throughout the UK.
The men, who want full legal recognition as spouses rather than civil partners, claim that failure to recognise their marriage within the UK amounts to unlawful discrimination.
The couple cannot be named as they have been granted anonymity by the court but their legal action is being supported by the gay rights group, The Rainbow Project.
Last week, Stormont MLAs voted to support the introduction of gay marriage, but it was vetoed by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) using a blocking mechanism known as a petition of concern.
Opening the court case on Monday, the couple's barrister said: "The petitioner and his spouse find themselves in a particularly arbitrary situation where lawful marriage is stripped from them whenever they reside in Northern Ireland, returning and disappearing as they cross state lines."
She said the petitioner "takes the view that his marriage has been demeaned, devalued and undermined by virtue of the (society) in which he lives".
She added that the couple's legal status was "perplexing and distressing" and "caused them to feel acute embarrassment and alienation".
In a sworn statement submitted as part of their case, the couple set out their future plans to adopt children, saying they believed marriage offered the most appropriate relationship and best foundation for a family.
Their barrister said most people struggle to understand why they are not married in Northern Ireland.

Summary: A gay couple's marriage has been "devalued" by the fact that it is not legally recognised when they are home in Northern Ireland, a court has heard.

Article: The Cambridge University Library has housed the Codex Zacynthius since 1984.
It was offered first refusal to buy the New Testament manuscript and had until the end of August to find the funds.
The fate of the historical text had been in doubt after the Bible Society in Swindon, which owned it for almost 200 years, decided to sell it off to raise money.
The society, which was presented with the 176-page volume in 1821, wanted to shore up funds for a new £1m visitor centre inside a deconsecrated church in North Wales.
Dr Rowan Williams, the former archbishop of Canterbury who supported the Cambridge University Library's fundraising campaign, said securing the text would allow further study.
The bible features an early seventh century script which has been partially scraped away and written over to make way for a 13th century entry.
It is regarded as an important text in studying the development of the New Testament.
"The discovery and identification of the under-text represents a fascinating detective story," Dr Williams said.
"By securing the manuscript, we hope that multispectral imaging techniques will enable scholars to recover fully the hidden text."

The UK's top professional body of referees has been criticised for not being able to provide a good relationship with the referees.
"The referees are not the only ones who are not the only ones who are not the only ones who are not the only ones who are not the only ones who are not the only ones who

Fans of the Twilight film series have been warned that they could be putting their sight at risk by sharing cosmetic contact lenses bought online.

Article: John Fleming believes the challenges facing referees are greater than ever but insists a good relationship exists between managers and top officials.
Fleming was speaking exclusively to BBC Scotland at the referees' winter training camp in Spain.
"There's many occasions in the six years I have been in here when referees have been really down," said Fleming.
"They have been down because they feel as if the criticism they are getting is way over the top, and I would agree with that."
Without naming individuals, Fleming says he is sometimes angered by comments made by pundits when it comes to refereeing decisions.
"I will never be obstructive to working with the media, but there is a line that can be crossed and it has been crossed several times," he said.
"It is very frustrating. Sometimes I get angry, especially if the comments made are not technically sound. Especially if they are personalised, which they have been recently.
"That becomes very frustrating when the individual making the comments has not had the common courtesy to perhaps contact me prior to it just to find out if what they are saying is factually correct.
"My door is always open, the phone line is always open."
Although Fleming has issues with recent media comments he says his relationship with managers is more positive.
"I have a good relationship with the SPFL Managers and coaches and other managers and coaches in Scotland, and I want to protect that," he added.
"The only way I can do it is to speak to them. Speak to them after matches, and accept the decision was wrong. Accept it was a big error. It was a clear important mistake as we phrase it in refereeing.
"And on the other hand I will tell them if the referee is right.
"It is up to me to coach the managers and the players to say [in this example] the referee is correct, and here is the reason why he is correct. So you either adopt the practice to combat that, or the referee will be correct and penalise you going forward."

Summary: Scotland's head of referees has been angered by what he calls "over the top" criticism of match officials.

Article: Cosmetic lenses are available to buy on the internet, in novelty stores or at market stalls, close to Hallowe'en.
Trading standards officers said the law stated that lenses should be sold with an optician or medic present.
Youngsters buying the lenses may wish to recreate the look of the Twilight films and Vampire Diaries TV show.
Cosmetic lenses are used to change the colour of the eye, and are also known as plano or zero-powered lenses.
Trading standards officers and health experts say young people are known to share them, leading to an increased risk of corneal ulcers and infections.
Alistair Bridge, director of strategy at the General Optical Council said: "Opticians make sure that contact lenses fit properly and that wearers receive expert advice on how to wear and store them safely.
"They will also offer important advice such as not to sleep in contact lenses and to never share or swap lenses, which can spread eye disease."
Leon Livermore, Chartered Trading Standards Institute chief executive, said: "Cosmetic contact lenses are often made and distributed on a one size fits all basis and not tailored to the wearer's needs which can increase the risk of eye health issues."
"We would advise against buying products like these online or from retailers as without professional supervision there are more likely to be health concerns for the individual."

Article: Where once low-wage workers churned out clothes for export, today a new company has taken up residence that is riding the wave of China's consumer spending boom.
In fact Mr Wedding - a small business employing 16 people - is part of an industry that has been booming like few others anywhere in history.
According to state media, China's marriage market - the money spent on ceremonies, catering, honeymoons and hospitality - has grown from almost nothing a couple of decades ago to a whopping annual 800bn yuan ($130bn; £78bn).
And Mr Wedding, from its old factory base, is trying to carve out a little slice of that economy by offering Shanghai's brides-and-grooms-to-be a familiar service with a twist.
"People can do a lot of almost impossible postures under water," the founder and owner, Tina Liu, tells me.
"The sense of losing gravity creates the beauty of floating."
Underwater wedding: In pictures
Two of her customers Lin Enxiao and He Huan introduce themselves by their English names - Lamea and YY.
They're not getting married until next year, but like many Chinese couples they've decided to get the wedding photographs out of the way early.
"Most of our friends did their photo shoot on dry land," YY tells me. "We wanted something different."
"When people think about wedding photos it's always grassland, white walls and doves," Lamea agrees.
"It feels good to change that picture."
China did not invent the underwater wedding shoot but it has embraced it like nowhere else.
There are dozens of studios offering the service in Shanghai alone, and it is a crowded, competitive market.
"Some talented people have a good concept and good creativity but they don't make it because they lack persistency," Tina says.
Each individual photo shoot is a painstaking, time-consuming process.
Mr Wedding's team of stylists gives Lamea and YY a full makeover, spending a couple of hours on their hair and make-up.
"We suggest that for underwater wedding pictures brides should wear a white wedding dress with a long trail," Tina says.

Article: It was responding to a global study that suggested investing heavily in computers and classroom technology does not improve pupils' performance.
Highland Council has a plan to give every P6 to S6 students access to a tablet computer.
The local authority said the study also suggested that good teaching coupled with technology could benefit pupils.
The study of schoolchildren in more than 70 countries was carried out for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The think tank said frequent use of computers in schools was more likely to be associated with lower results.
The OECD's education director Andreas Schleicher said school technology had raised "too many false hopes".
But he added that the findings of the report should not be used as an "excuse" not to use technology, but as a spur to finding a more effective approach.
A spokesperson for Highland Council said: "Highland Council is committed to providing technology rich environments in schools, this includes appropriate access to technology for learning purposes.
"We are also committed to reducing inequalities where pupils do not feel excluded due to not having access to appropriate technology for their learning.
"We welcome the OECD report which demonstrates that when good teaching is coupled with appropriate technology it leads to improved outcomes for children and young people."
Highland Council plans to increase the availability of the devices for P1 to 5 pupils to share and give every P6 to S6 student their own tablet.
The proposal is also expected to help the council save money.
The project could form part of the local authority's new IT contract.
The aspiration was first discussed at a meeting of Highland Council's education, children and adult services committee in February.
Councillors heard that the use of tablets at Alness Academy and other schools had led to pupils producing better work.

An inquest into an IRA massacre of 10 Protestant workers has been delayed because there is no coroner to hear it.

Article: But the Fraser of Allander Institute said the Scottish economy would  be "cushioned" from the likely impact compared with the rest of the UK.
A report suggested that Brexit could lead to more migration to Scotland from other parts of the UK.
Prime Minister Theresa May has insisted Scotland and the UK could "get a better deal abroad" after leaving the EU.
Holyrood's Europe committee convener Joan McAlpine said the outlook was "grim", and warned there could be a "huge constitutional crisis" if Holyrood was not consulted about the "Great Repeal Bill", which severs ties between the EU and the UK.
The report from the Fraser of Allander Institute examines a series of potential post-Brexit scenarios. These range from an "optimistic" model similar to Norway's relationship with the EU to a "pessimistic" one based on a so-called "hard Brexit" outside the single market, based on World Trade Organisation rules.
The group said the most optimistic outlook would see Scottish GDP drop by 2% within 10 years, causing the loss of 30,000 jobs. The most pessimistic model would see GDP 5% lower within a decade, with 80,000 fewer jobs in the economy.
Prof Graeme Roy, director of the Strathclyde University institute, said the "detailed assessment" had found Brexit was likely to have "a significant negative impact on the Scottish economy".
However, the report noted that "throughout all scenarios, the estimated negative impact of Brexit on the rest of the UK is greater than it is on Scotland, in terms of GDP, employment and other measures".
This is because the rest of the UK's economy has greater exposure to EU trade than Scotland's, while the financial relationship between Scotland and the rest of the UK dampens certain effects.
The report notes that "to a degree this acts to cushion the impacts on the Scottish economy", adding the "shock" of Brexit could "induce net migration into Scotland from the rest of the UK".
The prime minister has insisted Brexit will "enhance" Scotland's standing in the world rather than diminish it.

Article: Republicans ambushed a mini-bus carrying the men at Kingsmill in County Armagh in 1976 and murdered them after checking what religion they were.
Senior coroner John Leckey is retiring this year and told a preliminary hearing of the inquest in Belfast that no replacement has been appointed.
His retirement could leave only one coroner in Northern Ireland.
Kingsmill is among dozens of inquests dating from the early days of the Troubles that face delay because not enough money is available to investigate or there is nobody to oversee fresh hearings.
Mr Leckey said: "I feel for the bereaved families, not exclusively Kingsmill but for other inquests I am involved in.
"It is a disappointment that is widespread."
A lawyer for some of the Kingsmill victims' families said they would be pressing Stormont's justice department for more resources to allow an inquest to go ahead.
Karen Armstrong, a sister of one of the murdered men, said the lack of resources was "a political problem".
"We are not going to lie down and accept it," she said.
"We will fight until we get another date and they have to make sure there are enough coroners in Northern Ireland to deal with our and many other cases."
Ulster Unionist MLA Danny Kennedy said he would be asking Justice Minister David Ford to ensure the matter was referred to the relevant authorities so that "action can be taken as soon as possible".
"Justice has been denied for almost 40 years and it is totally unacceptable that this inquest should be delayed further due to the unavailability of a coroner," he said.
"This was one of the most shocking and cruel events of the Troubles and the inquest must be treated with the seriousness this crime merits."
A Department of Justice spokesman said: "Officials are actively working to ensure that all necessary resources are provided for the conduct of inquests in Northern Ireland.
"There are currently three full-time coroners in Northern Ireland. In addition, one High Court judge and one County Court judge have also been appointed as coroners."

Mr Obama gave his address at the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in Washington DC almost 50 years to the minute after Martin Luther King Jr culminated the march with his celebrated I Have a Dream speech
The time - 15:00 local time (19:00 GMT) - was marked by ringing bells.
Mr Obama began by honouring King, as well as the many African-American and white marchers who descended on Washington to protest for equal rights for black citizens 50 years ago.
"They assembled here, in our nation's capital, under the shadow of the great emancipator, to offer testimony of injustice, to petition their government for redress and to awaken America's long-slumbering conscience," Mr Obama said.
"Because they marched, city councils changed and state legislators changed and Congress changed, and yes, eventually the White House changed," Mr Obama said to great cheers. "Because they marched, America became more free and fair."
He praised "those maids, those labourers, those porters, those secretaries" who had transformed the US into the nation "our children now take for granted", in which individuals of different races mix freely in public and private life.
"To dismiss the magnitude of this progress," he said, "to suggest, as some sometimes do, that little has changed - that dishonours the courage and the sacrifice of those who paid the price to march in those years."
But Mr Obama argued "the very significance of these victories may have obscured a second goal of the march" - jobs and the promise of equal economic opportunity.
"They were there seeking jobs as well as justice," he said.
"We must remind ourselves that the measure of progress for those who marched 50 years ago was not merely how many blacks had joined the ranks of...

Article: Tens of thousands of pilgrims joined him for the Way of the Cross ceremony, recalling Jesus' crucifixion.
Among the cross bearers were Syrian and Iraqi refugees, and Nigerians who had escaped Boko Haram persecution.
The service came a day after almost 150 people were killed in an al-Shabab attack on a Kenyan university.
"We still see today our persecuted brothers, decapitated and crucified for their faith in you [Jesus], before our eyes and often with our complicit silence," Pope Francis said, presiding over the ceremony at the Colosseum.
Earlier, he condemned the attack in Kenya, where Christians were singled out and shot, as an act of "senseless brutality".
In another Good Friday ceremony, Pope Francis listened as the Vatican's official preacher Raniero Cantalamessa denounced the "disturbing indifference of world institutions in the face of all this killing of Christians".
He too mentioned the Kenya attack, as well as the beheading of 22 Egyptian Coptic Christians by Islamic State (IS) militants in Libya in February.
Pope Francis has spoken out against the persecution of Christians before, saying that the world would be justified using military force to combat the "unjust aggression" by IS.

Article: Russian warplanes have now been seen carrying air-to-air missiles and a Russian warship - the Moskva - was moved closer to the Syrian coast, to enable its air defence missiles to provide additional cover over the Russian air base near Latakia.
But the most significant reinforcement has been the deployment of a sophisticated S-400 air defence system. Its large tubular launchers and associated radar and command vehicles are now in position at the Russian base.
The S-400 is one of Russia's most modern air defence systems with an extraordinary reach. From the airbase near Latakia the S-400's surface-to-air missiles could strike targets in an arc that takes in much of Israel; the eastern Mediterranean (including Cyprus where British jets are based); and northwards to cover a large part of Turkey beyond the Syrian border.
Russia's powerful radars - that reach even further than its missiles - enable it to have a detailed picture of the wider "aerial landscape".
For example, they can see developing coalition air operations and can keep a close track on what the Israeli Air Force is doing.
Manufacturer: Almaz-Antey arms firm; Deployment: Hmeimim airbase near Latakia - entered service in Russia in 2007; Range: 400km (248 miles); Speed: up to 4.8km (3 miles) per second; Max target height: 30km - can track hundreds of targets simultaneously; Types of target: aircraft, cruise missiles, medium-range missiles, drones, other airborne surveillance systems. (Sources: RIA Novosti, Russian 1TV.ru)
There is of course no suggestion that Russia intends to disrupt coalition air operations. Moscow is making a point by deploying the S-400. It sends a robust signal, not just to Turkey, but to public opinion at home that Russia intends to protect its air assets in Syria by whatever means necessary.
However it is very hard to imagine the S-400 actually engaging a Western warplane. Given the number of aircraft operating over Syria it would be difficult, for example, to specifically pick out a Turkish jet. But the presence of the missile...

Article: A team from Cardiff University has appealed to more than 3,000 beekeepers to send them photos, videos and audio files from hives over the summer.
The noises will be analysed at the School of Pharmacy.
The research will also help them learn where the bees find their feed by mapping the exact locations they were pictured or recorded.
"The Africanised honey bee makes different sound to the European bees," said microbiology professor Les Bailie.
"The bees we have on the roof of the school here are Italian. Do the bees in Cardiff make the same sound as those in Aberystwyth or Wrexham?"
Prof Bailie said bees could make up to 10 different noises depending on their mood, including angry, calm or ill.
Analysing the "known noises" can help determine where bees are from, but could also be used to play to bees to help their mood.
"A happy bee is a productive bee. If you can make the bee happy by playing them the right sound they can produce more honey," Prof Bailie said.
"Plotting these differences could ultimately help us in our bid to find out which plants help bees the most.
"Gathering photos, video and sound files will help us understand where gaps lie and will help put plants in the right places to make bees more productive."
If enough beekeepers respond, and investigators detect initial differences, the project could be rolled out to include more than 40,000 beekeepers across the UK.

Article: Matthew Gillard, of Connsbrook Avenue in east Belfast, pleaded not guilty to charges including kidnapping and false imprisonment.
The defendant, 25, also denied charges of common assault, assaulting a police officer and driving dangerously.
The charges relate to incidents in east Belfast and Comber on Saturday 4 April.
Newtownards Magistrates Court heard that the defendant and the woman were in his car in east Belfast when he began questioning her about who she was seeing.
A detective giving evidence in court said the woman tried to get out of the Seat Toledo car but the defendant allegedly drove off at speed, through a red light on Bloomfield Avenue.
When the car stopped on the Belfast Road in Comber, the woman escaped along a lane but was carried back to the car by the defendant, the court heard.
An off-duty police sergeant saw this and went to help the woman.
When the sergeant tried to intervene, the defendant allegedly drove his car at the officer, forcing him to get out of the way.
The sergeant was able to pull the keys from the ignition through the car's open window, but the defendant wrenched them from his grasp.
He then drove to the Grand Parade area of east Belfast where the woman was released.
He is also alleged to have sent the woman a message threatening that if she went to police about the incident he would "ruin her life in every possible way".
The court heard that the defendant handed himself over to police on Wednesday, despite being aware since Saturday that he was wanted by the PSNI.
But during police interviews he refused to answer questions put to him.
An application for bail was made but this was refused.
Mr Gillard will appear again in court on 1 May.

The company which manages Southampton port has bought industrial estates close to its western side.

Article: The lens module features optical image stabilisation (OIS) tech to counteract the effect of shaky hands - marking the first time the feature has appeared in a handset's front camera.
The firm also says the HTC 10's rear camera is ranked as one of the best.
But analysts are doubtful whether such features are enough to improve the Taiwanese company's fortunes.
Five years ago, HTC was the world's fourth bestselling smartphone maker with a market share of about 9%.
But in 2015, it fell to 17th place with a share of about 1%, according to research firm IDC.
HTC posted a 15.6bn Taiwanese dollar ($480.5m; Â£335.8m) loss in its last financial year, leaving it with cash reserves of just over double that sum.
It blamed its ill fortune on a lack of demand for its last top-end handset - the HTC One M9.
"To be very candid, our flagship did not perform well," the firm's chief financial officer Chialin Chang told analysts in February.
"Actually I would say our flagships are falling far short of our expectations for the entire cycle of 2015."
One company watcher said the new Android handset addressed complaints about the M9's camera, display, battery life and ageing design - but said it might still struggle.
"HTC has righted all the wrongs with the last two generations of products and delivered the phone that it needed," said Ben Wood from the consultancy CCS Insight.
"But it still has a mountain to climb to gain any traction despite the fact this looks like a beautiful device.
"That's because there are many, many other manufacturers out there with stunning products too, and HTC can't afford the marketing firepower to match rivals like Samsung and Huawei."
HTC says that by adding OIS to both the 10's cameras they should cope well in low light conditions since they can keep their shutters open for longer without risking blurred results.
"It's a world's first - optical image stabilisation in the front-facing camera," explained its executive Graham Wheeler.
"It was incredibly difficult to do because OIS is quite a large module...

Article: The Marchwood Park and Cracknore Hard industrial estates, covering 113.73 acres, were acquired by Associated British Ports (ABP) for an undisclosed amount.
Port director Nick Ridehalgh said the estates would provide "strategic long term value" for the company.
Local councillor David Harrison called for a "statement of intent" from ABP.
The estates are located on the western side of Southampton water, opposite the cruise terminal and Southampton Docks, and are six miles (9.5km) from the M271 motorway.
The sites had been owned by Oceanic Estates for the last 15 years and and are among the largest self-contained industrial and warehouse holdings in the South East with occupiers including Ocado and Royal Mail, according to property consultants Lambert Smith Hampton.
Mr Harrison, who represents Totton South and Marchwood, said: "In the longer term, local people in Marchwood and Totton South will be particularly concerned about any change to future usage of the site. For example, any increases in traffic and more pressure on our overburdened local roads will be completely unacceptable".
Mr Ridehalgh said: "Our intention is to continue to develop the estates to increase the income... and directly contribute to the economic success of the Port of Southampton and the wider region."

Article: Ryan Walls took pictures of 101 passengers during the Edinburgh Festival in 2015.
The 42-year-old said only two people refused out of the 103 people he asked due to being in a hurry and having a bad hair day.
Now the father-of-three's pictures will go on display at Out of the Blue Drill Hall, Dalmeny Street, in August.
Mr Walls told the BBC Scotland news website how he took photographs of a hen party, stag do, football fans, a chef, a high court judge and a TV agony aunt from Kuwait.
He said: "Everyone was so nice. One of the pictures is of a passenger who was in such a hurry that he couldn't wait for another taxi when I discovered the central locking system was broken so I had to pull him in and out of the taxi window.
"I also had an elderly former English teacher who had suddenly decided she wanted to go out to a show at the festival at the last minute and she had lots of words of encouragement for me so I really enjoyed chatting with her.
"I also got a Jambo fan and was worried I wasn't going to get a Hibs fan but luckily I did.
"I'm really interested in people and wanted to capture that moment in my cab, I only had seconds to take a few pictures and I'm really pleased with the end result."
The exhibition runs from 31 July until 5 August.

A unique perspective on a landmark social event is to be unveiled as part of Nottingham's Caribbean Carnival.

Article: James Seevakumaran, 30, was found with explosives and firearms in his room at the University of Central Florida.
Officials said he pointed a gun at another student, who called the police, before pulling a fire alarm and shooting himself.
Hundreds of students were evacuated early on Monday but classes were held after the explosives were removed.
The incident occurred as the US holds an emotionally charged debate about how to curb its gun violence epidemic.
At a news conference on Monday, authorities said writings found in his dorm room suggested Seevakumaran was planning a massacre on the scale of the horrific US school and university shootings of recent years.
Campus Police Chief Richard Beary said he believed Seevakumaran shot himself as police answered the emergency call shortly after midnight on Monday.
"His timeline got off," Chief Beary said. "We think the rapid response of law enforcement may have changed his ability to think quickly on his feet."
Four explosive devices were found in a back pack, the police chief added.
Investigators think Seevakumaran may have triggered a fire alarm in the building in order to push students outside into the open so he could massacre them, Chief Beary said.
His roommates told investigators he had at times been anti-social but had not displayed violent tendencies.
But a spokesman said the university, based in Orlando, had been in the process of removing him from his dorm after he failed to register for classes.

Summary: A US university student may have been planning a massacre before he killed himself instead, authorities have said.

Summary:


A public spending watchdog has published "serious concerns" over the financial control of East Dunbartonshire Council.

Article: Under the headline DO NOT PUB Kirk Douglas Dies, the magazine accidentally posted a pre-written tribute to the actor, who turns 98 this month.
The post listed details about Douglas's life and career spanning six decades, including his 1956 Vincent Van Gogh biopic Lust for Life.
The obituary, which sparked reaction on Twitter, has been removed.
It is unclear whether the tribute, which had a date stamp of 29 September, had been online for two months.
It read: "Kirk Douglas, one of the few genuine box-office names to emerge just as TV was overtaking American culture in the years right after World War II, died TK TK TK. He was 97 (DOB 12/9/1916) and had been in good health despite having suffered a debilitating 1996 stroke that rendered his speech difficult."
Douglas starred in his first movie in 1946 - the classic film noir The Strange Love of Martha Ivers.
His other films include Gunfight at the OK Corral, Lonely Are the Brave and Cast a Giant Shadow.
The actor has received three Oscar nominations during his career, for Lust for Life, The Bad and the Beautiful and Champion.
Although he never won, Steven Spielberg presented him with an honorary Academy award in 1996.
It is common for media outlets to write obituaries of celebrities or important figures in advance.
In 2008, Bloomberg made a similar mistake when it reported Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had died, three years before his actual death in 2011.
People has yet to comment on its Douglas error.

Summary: Kirk Douglas is alive and well, despite his obituary being published online by People magazine on Sunday.

Article: The Accounts Commission said there was a risk services could not be maintained without improvements in the way the council was run.
But the report recognised that the council delivered good services at the moment.
The authority needs to save Â£22.3m - 10% of its budget - by 2017/18.
On top of that, council reserves are low and are projected to fall further, the report said.
The Accounts Commission is the public spending watchdog for local government in Scotland.
In its report, the commission said the council urgently needed "clearer priorities" in its transformation programme to ensure key projects were completed and savings made.
The report recognised the council's "commitment to improvement", but added that it was concerned about the pace of those improvements.
Deficiencies highlighted by the commission included financial control and management of resources.
The chairman of the commission, Douglas Sinclair, said: "There is a gap between the council's ambition and seeing evidence of that on the ground. This is what East Dunbartonshire needs to address if it is to continue to deliver good quality services in the future."

Article: Sir Iain Lobban will leave later this year, after six years as director.
The Foreign Office said Sir Iain, 53, was doing "outstanding job" and his departure was "planned".
Officials denied the move was linked to controversy over GCHQ and its US counterpart, the NSA, sparked by disclosures from former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
Sir Iain, who first joined GCHQ in 1983, became director in June 2008.
"Today is simply about starting the process of ensuring we have a suitable successor in place before he moves on as planned at the end of the year," a Foreign Office spokesman said.
ln November, Sir Iain became the first head of the agency to give evidence in public when he appeared before MPs on the Intelligence and Security Committee, alongside the heads of MI5 and MI6.
They came under pressure to be more open after leaks by Mr Snowden revealed widespread spying by GCHQ and the US National Security Agency.
Sir Iain told the committee Mr Snowden's disclosures had done immense damage to Britain's counter-terrorism efforts.
MPs asked Sir Iain why he felt it was necessary to "collect information on the majority of the public in order to protect us from a minority of evildoers".
He said GCHQ did not spend its time "listening to the telephone calls or reading the emails of the majority" of the public.

Summary:


The new Epic telecommunications spacecraft will be used for all manner of data connections, from broadband access in remote areas to machine-to-machine communications - the so-called "Internet of Things". Media companies will use Epic to transmit video channels, and telcos will route backhaul traffic through 29e from their cellphone networks.

North Korean scientists have invented a hangover-free alcohol, according to the Pyongyang Times.

Article: The high-throughput platform should provide customers with superior connections at a lower cost.
Designated Intelsat 29e, it will sit at 50 degrees west, and deliver services to the Americas and the North Atlantic aeroplane and shipping routes.
At least six more Epic spacecraft will follow, to cover other regions and to provide back-up.
Commentators and analysts see the success of the fleet as critical to the fortunes of Intelsat, which is based in McLean, Virginia, and is battling to hold its ground in a fiercely competitive market.
At 6.5 tonnes, Intelsat 29e is a heavyweight "bird", and was the only passenger on its Ariane launch rocket, a vehicle that normally puts up two platforms at once.
All the major commercial satellite operators are in the midst of introducing next-generation systems.
The 29e has substantially enhanced capability compared with Intelsat's previous spacecraft, delivering a throughput of 25 gigabits per second.
Stephen Spengleris is the CEO of Intelsat: "Intelsat 29e is the first of our Intelsat Epic high-throughput satellites. Its entry into service starts the first phase of establishing a high-performance overlay for our global fleet. And more importantly, it allows us, our partners and our customers, to deliver broadband services that will impact the lives of millions of people around the world."
The satellite will be used for all manner of data connections, from broadband access in remote areas to machine-to-machine communications - the so-called "Internet of Things". Media companies will use Epic to transmit video channels, and telcos will route backhaul traffic through 29e from their cellphone networks.
Special antennas are being developed that will allow even motor cars to talk to the Epic system.
But two key areas of business will be the aeronautical and maritime sectors. Providing connectivity to planes so that passengers can surf in their seats has become a booming business.
The footprint of 29e will cover the region of the North Atlantic with the densest traffic.

Article: The state newspaper says the "suave" liquor will spare you wincing when you wake, despite boasting 30%-40% alcohol.
The brew is reportedly made from a type of indigenous ginseng called insam and glutinous rice, and cultivated by an organic farming method.
North Korean media is known for making often outlandish claims about its domestic achievements.
Last year, it said medical products containing extracts from the insam plant could cure Mers, Sars and even Aids, NK News reported.
The Pyongyang Times said the new alcohol "exudes national flavour", without dampening your national fervour the following morning.
Among its other unique selling points, according to the paper - the spirit "is highly appreciated by experts and lovers".
The newspaper article, titled, "Liquor wins quality medal for preserving national smack", says the Taedonggang Foodstuff Factory has been working for years on the elixir.
The drink derives from Kaesong Koryo insam - a natural herb thought to have medicinal properties. According to the Pyongyang Times, replacing sugar with the scorched, glutinous rice removed the bitterness from the insam and, crucially, the hangover.
"Koryo Liquor, which is made of six-year-old Kaesong Koryo insam, known as being highest in medicinal effect, and the scorched rice, is highly appreciated by experts and lovers as it is suave and causes no hangover," the article reads.
The liquor "has already been registered as a national scientific and technological hit", it adds.
Andray Abrahamian, who travels to North Korea on business for Chosong Exchange, told the UK-based North Korean News website that insam liquors were "OK"  but he is "not that keen on it as a tasty treat".
"There are some high quality liquors made in North Korea, though in my experience there is no such thing as hangover-free booze anywhere in the world," he said.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) aims to finish its inquiries by April "at the latest".
A report will be published "soon after" this point, an IPCC spokesperson said.

The IPCC is investigating complaints connected to former and serving police officers into how they handled child sex abuse allegations in Rotherham.
It previously said it was conducting 62 inquiries with 30 officers formally investigated, with that figure rising to 88 investigations into 35 officers.
The figure had increased after some of the "more complex investigations" were split into smaller ones, a spokesperson said.
Professor Alexis Jay's 2014 report detailed how children as young as 11 had been subjected to trafficking, rape and other sexual exploitation between 1997 to 2013 by gangs of men who were predominantly of Pakistani origin.
Initial inquiries by the IPCC began in late 2014 after South Yorkshire Police referred 14 members of staff to the police watchdog.
It has now grown into the "the second largest operation" the IPCC has undertaken after the Hillsborough inquiry.
In a statement, the IPCC said: "The very nature of these investigations makes them difficult to conclude quickly, we are dealing with highly sensitive issues and the allegations can date back decades.
"Our priority is to conclude our investigations rigorously and thoroughly and we thank the survivors and all those affected by these investigations for their patience and understanding."

Article: Doctors have told her there is an 85% chance she will develop breast cancer as she has inherited a mutation in her BRCA 1 gene.
But are you at risk and what can you do reduce your chances of contracting it?
Katherine Woods from Breast Cancer Campaign explains.
"The risk of a woman developing breast cancer in the UK is one in eight.
"That's about 50,000 women a year. Women are far more likely to develop the disease, but it does affect men too.
"Around 350 men a year are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK.
"Gender, age and family history are the three most important risk factors. The older you get, the greater risk of getting breast cancer.
"More than 80% of breast cancers are diagnosed in women over 50, so it's a lot more common for women who have gone through the menopause.
"In terms of family history, some have a higher risk of getting breast cancer.
"But not everybody with a family history will have that high risk. One in five women that get it have a family history of the disease."
"Women who have family history and have a confirmed higher risk can opt to have risk-reducing surgery.
"The most common type is a double mastectomy. A mastectomy removes tissue from both breasts. It reduces the risk by up to 90%.
"Removing the ovaries can also reduce risk by around 50% in younger women.
"In terms of lifestyle there are three things people can do to reduce their risk. Cut down on alcohol, be a healthy weight and to get 30 minutes of exercise five times a week."
"It's the removing of breast tissue from both of the breasts.
"For a lot of women there is an option to have reconstruction at the same time as they have surgery.
"So it doesn't necessarily mean that the entire breast and nipple are taken.
"This surgery can reduce the risk of getting breast cancer by 90%.
"But a risk-reducing mastectomy still leaves part of the chest wall behind and actually breast cancer can still develop in those tissues which is why we can't say it reduces the risk by 100%."
"It is really important to check whether you have a high...

Article: Bill Cosby 77 was to have been streamed from 27 November. It is not clear when or if the special will now be shown.
Netflix's announcement came shortly after Tuesday's airing of an interview with a model and TV host who claimed Cosby sexually assaulted her in 1982.
Cosby's lawyer previously said the comedian would be making no comment.
John P Schmidt said the allegations were a "decade-old [and] discredited" and that he did not intend to "dignify [them] with any comment".
A follow-up statement amended the earlier denial to say it did not refer to Andrea Constand, an accuser whose civil action against him was settled in 2006.
The latest allegation came from TV presenter Janice Dickinson, who accused Cosby of sexually assaulting her after a dinner date in Lake Tahoe, California.
"The next morning I woke up and I wasn't wearing my pyjamas," she told Entertainment Tonight. "I remembered before I passed out that I had been sexually assaulted."
Dickinson claimed she had written about the alleged assault in a 2002 autobiography but had been pressured by Cosby's lawyer and her publisher to remove the details.
Dickinson, a contestant in the 2007 series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, is one of several women to have accused Cosby of sexual assault going back almost 30 years.
Cosby remained silent during an NPR radio interview that aired on Saturday when he was asked to comment on the accusations levelled against him.
The veteran comedian is best known for playing Cliff Huxtable, benign patriarch of an African-American family in hit US sitcom The Cosby Show.

Gay and bisexual men convicted of abolished sex offences in Northern Ireland look set to be pardoned.

Article: "Inseparable" Bella the ewe and Blake the border collie disappeared from their owner Natalie Haywood's home near Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire.
Ms Haywood posted on Facebook saying someone had picked up Blake and returned him home.
She said Blake was "all well" and was behaving "like nothing has happened".
"The hunt for Bella continues still, with Blake's help we will bring her home," she wrote.
Bella was five weeks old when she went missing from her home in the village of Perlethorpe on 8 May.
Because of her age, she needed regular bottle feeding.
She had been adopted from a farmer neighbour after being orphaned, and quickly bonded with Ms Haywood's pet dog.
"They are the best of friends, she follows him around everywhere," said Ms Haywood after the pair's disappearance.
The disappearance sparked a campaign to find them and the hashtag #findblakeandbella.
A £1,000 reward for their recovery was offered by ITV presenter Philip Schofield on This Morning, and thousands of people joined a Facebook group set up to find the pets.
Eight cameras were set up in four locations and tracking dogs were used in the search.

Article: Justice Minister Claire Sugden confirmed a motion will go before the assembly for approval.
The move will bring Northern Ireland in line with England and Wales, where plans for automatic pardons were announced last month.
Those proposals would see men convicted of now-abolished sexual offences receive posthumous pardons.
Dubbed 'Turing's Law', after the World War Two code-breaker Alan Turing, the law will also allow living men convicted of such offences to apply for a pardon.
The motion in the assembly is expected to contain the same provisions and allow for pardons both posthumously as well as for living gay and bisexual men.
The minister said she has secured executive agreement to ask the assembly to pass a legislative consent motion to pardon convictions related to abolished sexual offences.
Ms Sugden said that arrangements would be brought in "as soon as possible to ensure that there is equal treatment for gay and bisexual men here as for their counterparts in England and Wales".
"This is an opportunity for the criminal justice system to try and right the wrongs of the past and one which will allow for much earlier resolve than that presented by way of an assembly bill," she added.
The motion will now go forward for consideration by the assembly.

Article: Shop Direct, which bought the Woolworths brand out of administration, said it had secured a legal settlement with the store in Dorchester, Dorset.
Wellworths will rebrand itself as Wellchester after failing to agree terms that would have let it keep the name but restrict its expansion.
Shop Direct said protecting its brand was of "paramount importance".
Wellworths, launched by former Woolworths manager Claire Robertson in March 2009, has been given two years to change its branding.
First-year profit
The branch was one of 815 that closed after Woolworths went bust in November 2008 with debts of Â£385m.
But Ms Robertson reopened the store, gave about 20 colleagues their jobs back and saw the business make a profit in its first year.
Wellworths said Shop Direct "initially supported the opening of the former Woolworths store in Dorchester as Wellworths, but then sought an agreement which would place limits on the growth of the business under the Wellworths name".
"Regretfully, rather than accept those limits, Wellworths have decided to replace the Wellworths name with Wellchester over the course of the next two years."
Ms Robertson said she was aiming to expand the brand across south and south-west England, in towns similar to Dorchester.
She announced her intentions in March, although other sites have yet to be found.
"We're really happy with the way things are going and have been extremely well supported by our customers in the first year-and-a-half," she added.
Mark Newton-Jones, chief executive of home shopping firm Shop Direct, said: "Protecting your brand is of paramount importance to every business and no less so to us with our Woolworths brand."

Summary: A former Woolworths store which reopened as Wellworths has been forced to change its name.

Article: My sources include collectors all over the world, dealers, auctions, flea markets, and just about any place I can think of. The accumulation, as I like to call it, includes all kinds of material related to the Indian matchbox industry.
Within this rapidly growing accumulation, I often come across labels and subjects that I get curious about and that is how my collection takes a thematic approach.
My recent exhibition, titled "Matchbox Labels And The Stories They Tell", features some prominent trends and themes spanning the entire history of the matchbox industry.
I exhibited 5,000 labels from my collection of 25,000.
AE Matcheswala was an early matchbox label which started using sulphur. It set up its factories in Mumbai in western Maharashtra and Khambhat (also known as Cambay) in Gujarat state, and continued to trade in matchboxes until after World War Two.
The company exported its matchboxes to Arab countries. Ambarnath, written in Hindi on this label, was the location of the first Wimco factory in western Maharashtra state. Very few Wimco labels used Indian languages and they did not last long. This rather drab label featuring the dhow is not one of their common brands.
This label promoted the Swadeshi (self-reliance) movement during the partition of India's Bengal region in 1905. A number of Indian labels started during the independence struggle after calls were made to boycott British goods. Most firms used Indian languages to add nationalist fervour to their brands. Labels from the 1920s and 30s tell the story of India's struggle for freedom. Some labels even celebrated important personalities associated with the freedom movement.
It's believed that this matchbox was commissioned by the royal family of Bhavnagar in western Gujarat state for their personal use during British rule. Little is known about such matchboxes because records were not kept at the time and little research is possible today.
Many Bollywood films were promoted on matchboxes in the 1950s. Some labels even featured Pakistani films....

Article: Moderate exercise increased the size of the hippocampus, an area of the brain that makes memories, in 120 volunteers.
The year-long trial, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed performance on memory tests also improved.
Exercise may buffer against dementia as well as age-related memory loss.
The latest work looked at healthy people in their 60s rather than people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia.
But the findings have important implications for ageing societies faced with a dementia time bomb.
In the UK, 820,000 people have dementia, and this figure is set to double by 2030.
Until a cure is discovered, finding cheap and simple ways to reverse this trend is imperative, say experts.
Professor Kirk Erickson and colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh in the US set out to investigate the impact that even moderate exercise might have on preserving memory.
They split their 120 volunteers into two groups. One group was asked to begin an exercise regimen of walking around a track for 40 minutes a day, three days a week, while the others were limited to doing simple stretching and toning exercises.
Brain scans and memory tests were performed at the start of the study, halfway through the study and again at the end.
Scans revealed hippocampus volume increased by around 2% in people who did regular aerobic exercise. The same region of the brain decreased in volume by 1.4% in those who did stretching exercises, consistent with the decrease seen in normal ageing.
Both groups showed some improvement over time on memory tests. In the walking group, the improvement appeared to be linked with increased size of the hippocampus.
Professor Erickson said: "We think of the atrophy of the hippocampus in later life as almost inevitable. But we've shown that even moderate exercise for one year can increase the size of that structure.
"The brain at that stage remains modifiable."
Dr Simon Ridley of the Alzheimer's Research Trust said that although the study does not look at memory loss in...

Scotland's newest police horses have been named after two of the country's most famous islands.

Article: Coinciding with the Year of Food and Drink, a Scottish government-led celebration, dairy products will be the focus of events in August.
The trail is designed to allow visitors and locals to travel around Scotland's best ice cream sellers.
Leaflets have been produced to highlight more than 100 businesses. The trail has been launched at The Milk Barn in Falkirk.
The government estimates that Scotland generates over Â£2.5m every day through food and drink tourism.
Scotland's Food Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "I'm delighted to hear that Scotland's Ice Cream Trail has been launched - our dairy produce is among the best in the world and it extends to so much more than milk.
"It's great that this has been launched during the Year of Food and Drink and couldn't have been timed better for the start of Delicious Dairy Month in August."
Suzannah Reid, from The Milk Barn, added: "We're delighted to be part of Scotland's Ice Cream Trail and look forward to welcoming lots of new visitors as a result.
"Our ice cream is made using milk from our very own herd of cows, which are milked just yards away every morning, to make a wonderful and diverse range of flavours which delight our many customers."

Families of people allegedly killed by an Army undercover unit have been told former members of the unit who appeared on TV admitted no crimes.

Article: Mark Neale, of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, agreed that the bailout plans in Cyprus underlined the risk of undermining savers' confidence.
But he said the UK's position was entirely different from that of Cyprus.
The first £85,000 of deposits per person, per UK-regulated institution are protected by the FSCS.
If a UK-regulated bank, building society or credit union goes bust, then each depositor will be paid compensation, up to this limit, quickly - usually within seven days.
A 10bn-euro ($13bn; £8.6bn) bailout for Cyprus has been agreed by the EU and IMF, but all bank customers in the country must pay a one-off levy.
Under the currently agreed terms, depositors with less than 100,000 euros in Cyprus accounts would have to pay a one-time tax of 6.75%. Those with sums over that threshold would pay 9.9%.
Cyprus' parliament will vote on the plan on Tuesday.
UK savers who live in and have bank accounts in Cyprus will be hit by the levy, but deposits with the UK arms of Bank of Cyprus and Laiki Bank will not.
Under the plan, people are being taxed on savings, but they would have been compensated for these savings had the banking system in Cyprus collapsed. Cyprus has a deposit protection scheme, similar to the FSCS, that would have protected the first 100,000 euros (£86,000) of people's savings if banks in Cyprus had gone bust.
Q&A: Cyprus bailout
Europe markets fall on Cyprus fears
Mr Neale, chief executive of the FSCS - the UK's deposit protection scheme - said the situation in Cyprus was "unique" and it was "inconceivable" that the same could happen in the UK. That meant UK savers should be confident that their funds were safe in UK banks.
"The UK government is not in anything like the same position as Cyprus. I am emphatic that people [in the UK] will not lose a penny of their savings in this way," he said.
He said that the situation in Cyprus would not affect the way the FSCS was run. but he said that more needed to be done to ensure people knew of the protection that was in place.

Article: The Military Reaction Force was the subject of a BBC Panorama programme last November.
Former members said the unit had shot people who may have been unarmed.
The PSNI investigation has found none of the men featured "admitted any criminal act or being involved in any of the incidents portrayed".
In a statement,  the PSNI said: "Detectives from Serious Crime Branch have studied the contents of a BBC Panorama programme broadcast last year into the activities of the MRF.
"Although there does not appear to be any admission to criminality by individuals featured in the programme, it will form part of an HET review into all deaths linked to soldiers.
"This review will begin when HET resumes its work in the near future."
The unit was disbanded in 1973, after 18 months.
The plain-clothes soldiers carried out round-the-clock patrols in Belfast in unmarked cars.
Three former members of the unit talked to Panorama. They said they had been tasked with "hunting down" IRA members in Belfast.
When asked if on occasion the MRF would make an assumption that someone had a weapon, even if they could not see one, one of the former soldiers replied "occasionally".
"We didn't go around town blasting, shooting all over the place like you see on the TV, we were going down there and finding, looking for our targets, finding them and taking them down," he said.
"We may not have seen a weapon, but there more than likely would have been weapons there in a vigilante patrol."
One of the soldiers said they were "not there to act like an army unit, we were there to act like a terror group".
Solicitor Padraig Ã“ Muirigh represents families who believe their relatives were killed by the MRF.
He said police should further investigate the soldiers' claims.
"They very openly and brazenly admitted that they were in a terror gang, that they acted outside the rule of law, that they also acted outside of the yellow card rule," he said.
"They also admitted being involved in fatal incidents in which people may not have been armed.

Article: The council said there were 8,300 people on the waiting list for social housing - a figure set to increase further in the next five years.
It has 13,470 properties, which has fallen from 23,000 since 1985, largely due to the Right to Buy legislation.
The Welsh Government has already said it wants to abolish it in Wales.
Most council tenants have the right to buy their homes after five years and receive a discount of up to Â£8,000 on the value.
But the authority said there was a "very high level of housing need" in the city which needed to be addressed.
Susan Elsmore, cabinet member for health, housing and wellbeing, said the council estimated it would need an extra 2,024 affordable homes each year for the next five years and research showed more than 5,000 families were living in overcrowded or unsuitable homes.
"Every month, 450 new applications for housing are received but only 860 council properties became vacant and available to let in the whole of 2015/16," she said.
"Every house sold through the [Right to Buy] scheme is a home that is no longer available to a family in need so for this reason, we will consider suspending the scheme and consulting with those who would be affected."
If the plans are agreed by councillors at a meeting on 10 November, a consultation will begin with the results considered in the new year.
Several other councils in Wales, including Swansea, Carmarthenshire and Flintshire have already approved plans to suspend the scheme.

Summary: Council tenants in Cardiff could lose the right to buy their home under plans to address the shortage of rented homes in the city.

Article: Kamal C Chavara was detained by the police in Kerala state on Sunday after the youth wing of the Hindu nationalist BJP lodged a complaint against him.
Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that the anthem must be played in every cinema before a film is screened.
Some 20 people have been held in Kerala and Tamil Nadu since then for remaining seated during the anthem.
Also, India's colonial-era sedition law has been often used against students, journalists, writers and social activists and those critical of the government.
Reports said that the BJP's youth wing lodged a complaint against a Facebook post by Mr Chavara which allegedly insulted the anthem. The post was apparently an excerpt from one of his books.
Senior police official Sateesh Bino told the NDTV news channel that the writer-activist "is being questioned for his controversial post on the national anthem on Facebook" and had been charged with sedition.
Earlier this month, 12 people were arrested at a cinema in Kerala, after they remained seated while the national anthem played.
The cinemagoers, who were attending an international film festival, were later freed but they face charges of "failure to obey an order issued by a public servant, thereby causing obstruction or annoyance to others".
And at a cinema in Chennai, eight people who did not stand for the anthem were assaulted and abused, police said. The eight were later charged with showing disrespect to the anthem.

Article: In a statement,the US Department of Agriculture saidschools buying beef from a central government scheme could now choose from a range of options.
The term has become used to describe a type of beef trimming commonly found in school and restaurant beef in the US.
Reports it was widely used in schools prompted a popular outcry, although the beef is certified as safe to eat.
Social media campaigns and an online petition sprung up to oppose the use of the product. The beef's producerled a campaignto explain it was nutritional and safe.
Last year, British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver publicly criticised the product on his now-defunct US TV show, and McDonald's recently said it would phase out the use of "pink slime" in its burgers.
The US agriculture department said on Thursday it would now offer alternatives to the beef - officially called lean finely textured beef - for schools buying meat through its programmes.
The department (USDA) said the change was "due to customer demand".
"USDA continues to affirm the safety of Lean Finely Textured Beef product for all consumers and urges customers to consult science based information on the safety and quality of this product," it added.
School administrators reacted positively to the change.
"Our district has long advocated for purity and disclosure in food products. And we will definitely be moving to the pure ground beef when that becomes available," John Schuster, spokesman for Florida's Miami-Dade school system, told the Associated Press.
"Pink slime" - a term reportedly coined by a microbiologist working for the US government - is a form of lean beef formed by reclaiming the small parts of meat from leftover cuts with a high fat content.
The beef is spun in a centrifuge to separate the meat from the fat, before the final product is treated with a puff of ammonium hydroxide gas to kill any bacteria.
Produced in bulk by a firm in South Dakota, the pejorative nature of the term "pink slime" has coloured the debate, some experts say.
It is "unappetising", Sarah Klein,...

Article: The victim was fatally injured outside a property on Daniel Hill Terrace, Upperthorpe, close to the city centre.
People living in the area said the man was either in, or close to, a black Mercedes car he had been driving when he was shot.
Officers, called to the scene at about 13:35 GMT, found the man with a gunshot wound to his chest. Armed police sealed off the area.
The victim was taken to Northern General hospital but died from his injuries.
Local residents said the man was a member of a family who live close to the scene of the shooting.
They said relatives had been gathering for a family celebration when the attack occurred.
Many came out of the house to try to help him after hearing the shot, neighbours said.
There have been a number of shootings in Sheffield in recent weeks, although all the previous incidents have been in the north of the city and not close to the Upperthorpe area.
On Monday, a 25-year-old man was seriously injured when he was shot in the street in the Shiregreen area.
Earlier this month, an elderly couple were left shocked when shots were fired through their living room window in the Southey Green area - an incident police believe was a case of mistaken identity.
In January shots were fired at houses in two separate incidents in the same street in High Green.

An update to the Tor browser has disabled the tracker.
Tor is designed to let people access pages from the so-called dark web and browse free from surveillance.
But the hidden code in the illicit website exploited a security flaw in Tor to send user information back to a mysterious server in France.
The vulnerability also affected the Mozilla's Firefox browser, on which Tor is based.
Technology news site Motherboard found online posts referring to the discovery of the tracking code on the child sex abuse website.
One user described the code as a network investigative technique (Nit), which can be used by law enforcement to help identify people browsing the web anonymously.
The website in question was shut down on 15 November.
The party behind the tracking code has not been identified, but one security researcher told news site Ars Technica that a majority of the code matched a script deployed by the FBI in 2013.
Daniel Veditz, security lead at Firefox-maker Mozilla, said in a blog: "The exploit in this case works in essentially the same way as the 'network investigative technique' used by [the] FBI to deanonymise Tor users.
"This similarity has led to speculation that this exploit was created by FBI or another law enforcement agency.  As of now, we do not know whether this is the case.
"If this exploit was in fact developed and deployed by a government agency, the fact that it has been published and can now be used by anyone to attack Firefox users is a clear demonstration of how supposedly limited government hacking can become a threat to the broader web."
The security flaw has now been patched in both Firefox and Tor.

Article: Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said the idea was "attractive" and could help tackle poverty and inequality.
Supporters said it would help unemployed people who fear taking a job would lead to cuts in their benefits.
But Patrick Minford from Cardiff University's Business School said it was "not a workable scheme".
Under Universal Basic Income (UBI) everyone would receive the same sum of money regardless of whether they work or not.
There would be no requirements to show an individual is looking for a job either.
In Scotland the policy has support from across the political spectrum, with feasibility work under way ahead of possible pilot schemes in Glasgow and Fife.
Jamie Cooke, head of the RSA think tank in Scotland, told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme: "Moving from a system where you aren't working to a system where you are, you won't face those penalties, you retain your consistent payment.
"You're given the security to be able to choose to work... or training, or to set up your own business in a way that is beneficial to you."
However Prof Minford, who was an adviser to former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, told the programme: "This is not a workable scheme because it's far too expensive.
"It creates a tremendous tax, a disincentive for the average person further up the income scale who's paying for it all."
Mr Drakeford told the assembly earlier in January he found the idea of UBI "attractive in the way that it can simplify and support people who currently have to rely on a very complex set of part-time work, part-time benefits and so on".
But he added: "The political world will face a job of convincing the public about the merits of the scheme."
Asked if he was worried by Mr Drakeford's comments, Prof Minford replied: "It's quite worrying for Wales.
"I'm hoping Wales won't go the same way [as Scotland] towards this sort of extremely expensive socialist experiment".

Ofgem has asked for more information on why a subsea cable is needed to carry electricity generated on the Western Isles to the mainland.

Article: Huw Aled Jones, 44, of Rhydtalog, near Mold, Flintshire, was found to have dead and dying animals on his land.
He admitted causing unnecessary suffering to animals, failing to identify them, failing to report animal deaths and not disposing of carcasses.
He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison, suspended for two years at Flintshire Magistrates Court.
The court heard Jones had always worked on the family farm but had been unable to cope after his father died.
His marriage broke down, the farm was no longer sustainable and he worked 12-hour days at a dairy in Shropshire, which led to his failure to care for the sheep and cows.
The court heard he had ignored advice from council officers, failed to get veterinary attention for the animals, and did not properly feed them, resulting in their long-term neglect.
Several dead, injured and dying animals were discovered on the farm following a tip-off, including calves and lambs.
Probation officer Pamela Roberts said Jones did try to care for the animals and had shown great remorse for his actions.

Summary: A farmer who failed to properly care for his livestock has been banned from owning animals for six years.

Article: Scottish Hydro-Electric Transmission Ltd, a division of energy giant SSE, submitted the "needs case" as part of the planning process for the cable.
After assessing the case, energy regulator Ofgem has asked for further details to be submitted.
The project has been hit by delays and a rise in costs to an estimated Â£780m.
Islands local authority, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, has said major renewable energy projects planned for the isles cannot go ahead without the cable.
The interconnector would export electricity to the mainland for distribution.
It would stretch to about 50 miles (80km) from Gravir on Lewis to Ullapool on the north-west coast of mainland Scotland.
The Scottish government has been involved in talks on the project.
A spokesperson said: "This is a matter for SSE and Ofgem, but we would encourage the company and regulator to move swiftly to resolve this issue.
"Improved grid connections will enable the huge renewable energy resources of Scotland's islands to create jobs - up to 3,500 jobs in the Western Isles, almost 2,900 in the Shetlands and over 4,500 in the Orkney Islands by 2030.
The spokesperson added: "SSE put a business case for the Western Isles link to the electricity regulator Ofgem on 14 June, and today Ofgem have responded by setting out the detailed further information they require."

Article: Fast forward again to 2014 and the characters have been revived for the big screen by DreamWorks in Mr Peabody and Sherman. This time, in the hands of The Lion King director Rob Minkoff.
Modern Family star Ty Burrell provides the voice of Peabody - a talking dog, business titan, inventor, scientist, Nobel laureate, gourmand, and two-time Olympic medallist.
The cast also included the voices of Burrell's on-screen Modern Family daughter Ariel Winter, Stanley Tucci and comedy stars Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann and Mel Brooks.
"It was important to us from the beginning to be as authentic as possible to capture the spirit of the original but for a new audience," says director Minkoff.
It was originally created by US television-animation legend Jay Ward, who also came up with characters like George of the Jungle and Dudley Do-Right.
Each short segment saw Peabody and Sherman use his WABAC (or Wayback) machine to travel through time to visit historical figures such as Napoleon, Lord Nelson and Leonardo Da Vinci.
"I think Rob and DreamWorks have done a very good job in being very respectful to the original series," says Burrell. "We've been working with Jay Ward's estate and his daughter Tiffany and they gave us the thumbs up after seeing it which was a big relief."
Burrell, 46, is best known to TV audiences as the well meaning but clumsy "cool, dad" Phil Dunphy in the hit US series Modern Family - a role for which he has won one Emmy and been nominated for three more.
"I had done some TV voice work and I've done some commercial voice work but this is my first feature film and I tried to enter into it with my ears and eyes opening in terms of learning," he explains.
"I wanted to be respectful of Bill Scott who was the original voice and pay homage to him but also it's important that I create my own voice.

Although the UCI press release states that organisers have agreed to remove the poster, which also carries the tagline, 'Who squeezes them in Harelbeke?', it is still being used to promote the event on social media.
