An Unfair Game: Standardized Testing Ruins a School's Spirit
This is my third blog post here at Edutopia.org, so maybe it is time to introduce myself in the actual style of a blog and explain a bit about what my goals are in doing this.
If you have read my earlier posts, you will have noted that my main theme is the limitations and dangers of the high-stakes-testing mania that is consuming our schools. I realize this theme is a limited one, and I hope to venture into other areas in future posts, but for this week, I am going to go meta and try to explain why I return to this topic time after time.
I taught middle school science in Oakland for eighteen years, and I have worked for the past three years as a teacher coach. When I started my career in the late 1980s, students took standardized tests in math and English in the spring each year, and we were concerned about our test scores even then. We participated in something called the Mid-City Writing Project, associated with the University of California at Berkeley's Bay Area Writing Project, which had us integrating different forms of writing across the curriculum.
We were gratified when student scores rose in the years that followed. But we were not obsessed with those scores. Our school was not under the sword of closure if our scores did not rise. We were committed to the students we worked with, and that was more than enough motivation to be creative and to work hard to get them excited and engaged in learning.
In the subsequent decade, we had a good principal who hired strong teachers, and we worked together well as a team. We saw our test scores continue to rise, although as an urban school with a large population of students from poor households, we had challenges. In the years between 1999 and 2002, our students were coming to us as sixth graders scoring in the low 30th percentile range, but when they took their tests as eight graders after three years with us, they had moved up to nearly the 50th percentile compared with other students in the state.
But the laws we were facing changed. A decade earlier, others would have recognized our students' rising scores as a sign of success. But in 2001, No Child Left Behind passed. It decreed that every subgroup in a school had to improve, or the government would consider the school a failure. Of course, we wanted to help all our students, but we were among the most diverse schools in the city: We had whites, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans -- no group was a majority. According to NCLB, if just one of these subgroups did not improve, the whole school failed.
The first year of this regime, our scores went up overall, and our African American students improved the most. But our Latino students dropped by a few points. We had received a large number of immigrants who spoke little English, but they had to take the test along with everyone else -- no excuses! The next year, our overall scores improved again, but the scores of our Asian American students, who were already performing at a very high level, stayed the same. They didn't decline, but they didn't improve, either, so the government once again panned our school. We began to see that this was a game with rules that would never allow us to win.
I wish I could say that we teachers knew we were doing good work, and so we were able to ignore the depressing news that we were "failing" year after year. I wish I could say we were able to ignore the messages that told us the most important thing we could do was raise those test scores, because we knew it wasn't true. But the negativity took a heavy toll on the staff.
There are still wonderful, dedicated teachers at my former school. But the science department I helped build is almost gone -- just one teacher remains from the time when I worked there. And many of the other experienced teachers who helped make it a strong school are gone as well. The school is now in its fourth "unsuccessful" year of Program Improvement under the Adequate Yearly Progress mandate, and the government could dismantle it in a year or two if scores do not improve.
The reasons for the school's troubles are more complex than the description I have given above, but I think the test mania and the impossible mandates of No Child Left Behind have been a very destructive force against the spirit of schools like mine.
I left the school almost three years ago, but I still carry the spirit of its staff with me. I try to create community wherever I work, and I remember the spirit of community we had there. I use my writing to try to help people understand what really matters in our educational institutions and what does not really matter in the hopes that we can rebuild some of the schools that NCLB is perverting and destroying. Welcome to my blog.

You are so right. The implementation of NCLB, no matter how well-intentioned, has created a cruel game in which the rules and the targets keep moving in a calculated attempt to limit the "winners." Yes, we want all children to be taught well and receive a high quality education. But is the best way to do that by disparaging the good work that teachers do by only pointing to failures? Or, by making "failures" out of what may actually be advances? In my former high school, we routinely helped students move from reading at a 3rd or 4th grade level (these were 9th graders who had been socially promoted to us) up to 6th-8th grade level in one school year. However, because they were still below grade level, they and our school were labeled as failures. The net result is to frustrate people who are working as hard as they can, to embarras students who have done everything that was asked of them, and to create a false image of our school.
Glad you're blogging on these important issues.
Thank you Renee. You have a very important voice. These stories are as common as the schools that struggle to serve the most needy students in our society. We never objected to the work of educating them. But it is hard to take the systematic disrespect that has lately been made part of that territory.
I am sadden by society's blindness when it comes to the rewards that a good public education can offer a citizen of this country. NCLB has lead the way with identifying what schools do wrong instead of what they do right. Thank goodness for the many dedicated teachers that are trying to find the cure for this disease.
Well said...more focus needs to be on the development of student "soft skills". This should not be at the expense of content knowledge or technical skill, but as an important component of student development. Far from emphasizing one assessment for students, I think assessment should be on-going, that students should track themselves and that educators should look for improvement in individual students as opposed to lumping them together in demographic groups. In that way students compete against themselves and will make progress - sometimes in short bursts, sometimes in longer curves. Whatever the case, the current testing culture is a complete failure. Teachers are leaving in droves, students hate school and the only folks who are happy come from the political elite who have basically created this abomination.
Thanks for raising this issue. unfortunantly we are going the same way here in Australia. We are starting National Testing of all grade 3,5,7,&9 students this year (next week infact). While this is the brainchild of the former (very) conservative government of Aust... it would seems as though the incumbent is all for it as well.
At least he is not continuing the previous governments talks about performance based pay - your students don't make the grades one year, your pay goes down the next...
Crikey Mate - what happened to being able to celebrate that kid who has finally reached the numeracy goals for a grade 6 kid (in grade 9)?
Individucal learning is being pushed by all the educators who are in the know, but the government is still pushing for this mass produced National Testing robot-like teaching.
why is the place were i live not exsesible to high speed internet??LSU STINKS
no offence to anyone who supports the guy but if a kid fails this test it should be his fault not the schools,or the governments for ishuing it out, and if the school is discouraged by this they should use it to do better and not complane like a bunch of babys.
My school has also fallen victim to testing mania. The overwhelming pressure has pushed our district to over-emphasize testing. We had our first testing pep rally this year. Although, in the spirit of being a teamplayer, I have wholeheartedly participated in our testing mania overkill, in my heart I know that what we are participating in is wrong and not what is best for our students. I reason that I am not the one who has made the situation, I am just dealing with it- I didn't make the game, I'm just playing it. Don't hate the player, hate the game, right?
We have always made AYP and in fact we have always been in the top 5 high schools in the state of Michigan. However lately with Michigan's changing curriculum and new graduation requirements we may no longer make AYP!! This has all occured within the last year. I feel your frustration!
It is sad because good teachers will begin leaving a school becuase of job security; all this does is bring in new, inexperienced teachers resulting in the school failing instead of passing.

WASHINGTON — The every-four-years ritual of a national "town hall" style debate began as a nerve-racking experiment in live television. Moderator Carole Simpson was so nervous about turning over the microphone to regular folks and their questions that she spent days mapping out the presidential candidates and their issues on "a zillion 3-by-5 cards," in case she had to take over the questioning herself.
"I was afraid these undecided voters from Richmond, Va., might get into this huge TV studio where they'd be seen by millions of people and they'd just freeze," the former ABC journalist recalls. "I wanted to be prepared."
No need to worry. The voters did fine. That "town hall" 20 years ago was such a hit that there's been one in every presidential election since.
The sixth will bring President Barack Obama and his Republican rival Mitt Romney to Hofstra University on New York's Long Island Tuesday night to take questions from undecided voters selected by the Gallup polling company.
Debate coach Brett O'Donnell, who worked with John McCain in 2008 and Romney during this year's primaries, says: "This is the one debate that belongs to the people."
It can be a tricky one for the candidates.
Obama, especially, needs a forceful showing to recover from his leaden performance in the campaign's first debate. But he must tread carefully in an atmosphere more suitable for share-your-pain moments than aggressive attacks.
"You can't have this sort of all-out slugfest at a town hall debate," O'Donnell said, so don't expect the fireworks of last week's Joe Biden-Paul Ryan vice presidential match.
Viewers want the candidates to show respect for those voters in the room, who stand in proxy for all Americans.
"You've got to connect with the person who's asking the question — look them in the eye," said Robert Denton Jr., head of the Communications Department at Virginia Tech. "It's about empathy and connection."
Romney comes to the arena strengthened by his first debate. And the people-first format gives him a unique chance to overcome a persistent weakness: suspicion among some voters that he's too wealthy to relate to the middle class and the poor. But if Romney fails to engage with his questioners, he could reinforce that impression.
That's what happened to President George H.W. Bush in the first televised town hall debate, a low moment in his failed 1992 re-election bid.
The three-way contest at the University of Richmond between Bush, Democrat Bill Clinton and independent Ross Perot stands unmatched as an example of the format's risks and rewards.
Bush was thrown by a woman's oddly worded question: How had the national debt personally affected the candidates? He stumbled through a meandering response, asked the woman to clarify and ended up sounding irritated and a bit argumentative: "Are you suggesting that if somebody has means the national debt doesn't affect them?"
Even worse, just as she began her question, TV cameras caught Bush checking his watch.
That gesture would be replayed over and again as evidence that the president was indifferent and out of touch. "I took a huge hit," Bush said years later.
When Clinton got his shot at the same question, he set the standard for town hall emoting.
Clinton crossed the stage to stand before the woman, locked her in his gaze, and recounted the economic pain he'd personally witnessed as governor of Arkansas. "He just burst through the TV set," Simpson recalls.
How did that first town hall come about? Not surprisingly, Bush had resisted the risky new idea. But Clinton pushed it in negotiations with Bush and the Commission on Presidential Debates because his campaign thrived on town hall-style events.

Bordeaux Index online market brings in £1.5m
Bordeaux Index,Bordeaux News Wine News http://www.decanter.com/news/wine-news/484858/bordeaux-index-online-market-brings-in-1-5m- 2009-05-08T16:18:00+01:00 Friday 8 May 2009
Live Trade allows registered users to buy and sell 60 of the world's leading wines online. It is open both to the trade and to private customers.
The screen displays guaranteed buying and selling prices for the wines – currently focused on top-end Bordeaux, but likely to expand to include top Burgundy and Champagne in the future.
Bordeaux Index associate director Tom Mann said Live Trade's first week of trading had been 'extremely positive'.
'It's early days, but in a week's trading we've done about £1.5m through it.'
Buying and selling had so far been split about 50-50, he added, with private clients mainly buying wine and the trade looking to sell. So far, about 40% of those trading had been private individuals.
'Anybody used to using a City trading platform should find it easy to use,' Mann said.
'If someone in Hong Kong wants to buy or sell wine at two o'clock in the morning, then they can – and they already have.'
He said the company planned to let the new system settle in before considering its expansion. 'There's no reason why we can't include Champagne, other Bordeaux and lesser Burgundy in the future. The potential for expansion is huge.'

When I'm home, I like to invite all my family over, cook them dinner, and spend time catching up. My favourite food is a Maldivian dish of tuna soup and rice. I also enjoy surfing, fishing, scuba diving, and freediving.
As well as my job as a tour leader, I also work freelance with Voyages Maldives, which is where I came across the opportunity to work for Explore. My favourite part of being a tour leader in the Maldives is that it gets me closer to the ocean and I get to meet different people from around the world. I love my country: the sun, sea, beach, and the local people.
When you come to the Maldives, make sure you protect yourself from the sun. My handy tip: If you can, use biodegradable, eco-friendly sunscreens, as this will prevent chemicals from getting into the ocean.

Even harder coin problem
In three weighings there are 27 possible outcomes (3 * 3 * 3). One possibility (all balanced) is not useful to us since we are trying to identify a single odd coin. This leaves 26 useful results, or 13 pairs of opposite results. (For example, RRB is the opposite of LLB.) Since we want to know which coin is odd (1 in 12) and how it is odd (heavier, lighter) it is necessary to consider the results as pairs of opposites, with one pair indicating the coin, and which form indicating whether it's lighter or heavier. Since there are 24 actual possibilities (1 of 12 coins, light or heavy), I have enough weighing results to cover all coins. All we need to do now is determine a proper ordering of the expected results which will map to a possible weighing. It turns out we need to weigh 8 coins at a time, 4 on each side. So once we determine the combinations of weighing results, we must order them so any one weighing (first, second or third) has a particular result exactly 4 times. (eg. for 12 outcomes, I can have the first weighing be LEFT in exactly 4 of the outcomes.) Here is the table I came up with of the 27 possible outcomes, paired with their opposites and ordered as necessary to be useful for the problem: Weighing Opposite Coin (see below) A B C A B C -------- -------- ---------------- B B R - B B L 1 B R B - B L B 2 B L R - B R L 3 B L L - B R R 4 L B R - R B L 5 L B L - R B R 6 L R B - R L B 7 L B B - R B B 8 R L R - L R L 9 R R L - L L R 10 R L L - L R R 11 R R B - R R L 12 R R R - L L L -> leave out, for balance B B B={not useful} Notice that in each column (representing one weighing) there are 4 L's, 4 R's and 4 B's. L's are LEFT, R's are RIGHT, and B's are BALANCED. For each triplet of weighing results we get to choose one outcome. But the outcome we "assign" to a HEAVY weighing result determines the outcome which must be assigned to a LIGHT weighing result for the same coin. So if BBR is the HEAVY result for COIN 1, then BBL must be the LIGHT weighing result for COIN 1. With this table ordered thusly, we can arbitrarily assign the coins to the 12 result pairs (which I went ahead and did in the above table). This then determines the weighing order. I will arbitrarily decide that the left column of triplets indicates the odd coin is heavy and the right column indicates the odd coin is light. So coins 1, 2 and 8 are present in only 1 weighing. Coins 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are present in 2 weighings; and coins 9, 10, 11, and 12 are present in all three weighings. All that's left is to translate the above map into the weighings we will request. Since the left column is the HEAVY result, I can see that coins 5-8 must be on the LEFT in the first weighing. Likewise, 9-12 must be on the right in the first weighing. I continue mapping like this for each column above and get this arrangement of weighings: Weighing A: Left: 5 6 7 8 Right: 9 10 11 12 Weighing B: Left: 3 4 9 11 Right: 2 7 10 12 Weighing C: Left: 4 6 10 11 Right: 1 3 5 9 By getting the results from these three weighings and comparing to the above table, I can determine the odd coin and whether it's heavier or lighter. For example, a weighing result of LRR indicates that 11 is the odd coin and it is LIGHTER. RLL indicates that 11 is odd and HEAVIER. BRB means 2 is HEAVY. RBR means 6 is LIGHT. And so on. Because I omitted RRR and LLL, these results should never appear. This was a tough problem. It took me about 5 minutes to determine that it was possible, and then about an hour to arrange everything so it worked and write up the results.

Hi ! It took me a lot of time to prove that there exists a solution..., and then the same approach to solving it was followed - essentially start backwards with the outcomes and how the outcomes would result and then see if that can be forced. It is still a nice exercise to come up with a formula for number of weighings needed for N coins (The BBB outcome can actually be used if N is odd) There are altogether 27 outcomes to the weighings since each of the three weighings can be either Left Tilt, Right Tilt or Balanced (LRB) the outcomes are LLL RRR LLB RRB LLR RRL LBL RBR LBB RBB LBR RBL LRL RLR LRB RLB LRR RLL BLL BRR BLB BRB BLR BRL BBL BBR BBB Notice that withe exception of BBB they are paired up such that the L and R when exchanged give the other member of the pair. Now we can arbitarily number our coins from 1 to 12 and assign each of these numbers to the outcomes. LLL RRR 1 LLB RRB 2 LLR RRL 3 LBL RBR 4 LBB RBB 5 LBR RBL 6 LRL RLR 7 LRB RLB 8 LRR RLL 9 BLL BRR 10 BLB BRB 11 BLR BRL 12 BBL BBR unused BBB unused Now just think of where the defective coin should be in a weighing so as to case the given outcomes. One outcome is for if the coin is heavy and the other for if it is light. Now you are allowed to choose either the left outcome or the right outcome and place the numbers for their positions in the balancing, you can just follow a dynamic allocation procedure and make corrections as you go on. (LLL) RRR 1 LLB (RRB) 2 (LLR) RRL 3 LBL (RBR) 4 RBB (LBB) 5 (RBL) LBR 6 (RLR) LRL 7 RLB (LRB) 8 LRR RLL BLL (BRR) 9 (BLB) BRB 10 BLR (BRL) 11 (BBL) BBR 12 BBB In the process i was forced to drop the LRR RLL outcomes in favor of another because it was not possible to balance the Left and right hand sides with it. 1,3,5,8 + 2,4,6,7 1,3,7,10 + 2,8,9,11 1,6,11,12 + 3,4,7,9 Q.E.D. - Shyamal Shyamal L, Bangalore, India

PSYCHO-GOURMET - Geoff Nicholson on food, drink, sex, obsession and the madness of the mouth.

So maybe I've have found a picture of William Burroughs, if not exactly eating, then at least with some food in front of him.
In the picture above, doesn't that look like it might be a slice of cake he's got on a napkin in front of him? Maybe spongecake, maybe cheesecake. But I'm not absolutely certain, and I'm happy to stand corrected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by joan50 from Perfect Solid Wood Console We have been searching for a solid wood media console for at least a year. We were so excited to find this piece. It is perfect for our needs. The piece works great in a city apartment. It was important that the piece was completely solid word as we are concerned about toxic furniture and the glues that off gas. We are completely satisfied with this media console.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lauren from Beautiful Media Console We bought this as well as the "Frame" console table and end table and we love all of the pieces. The unfinished look of the wood is beautiful. The media console is quite heavy, feels well constructed, and was packaged well when we picked it up at the warehouse. We spent months looking for the right furniture for our living room and could not be happier!

Rated 5 out of 5 by RichardC from Beautiful finish, sturdy build I bought this a month ago and am very pleased with the purchase. The console feels solidly built. I would note that in person, the finish on the unit appears more vibrant (and slightly lighter) than it does in the photos on the website. In short, I think it actually looks better in person.

Caloric requirements of patients with burns under one year of age. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 8454656 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Formulas for estimating the caloric requirements of pediatric patients with burns have been suggested. However, the needs of infant patients with burns have not been specifically addressed. This study was undertaken to determine the caloric intake required to maintain weight in patients under 1 year of age who had burns covering more than 25% total body surface area. Thirty patients were studied, and a comparison was made between the actual intake required for weight maintenance and the suggested calorie levels provided by published pediatric caloric formulas. The results indicated that a new formula was needed. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that body surface area and burn surface area were significant predictors of caloric requirements, but body surface area was the more important predictor in this infant population. The equation resulting from the regression provides 2100 kcal/m2 body surface area/day plus 1000 kcal/m2 body surface area burned/day. |

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Season 10 Speculation: What Are the "New Sets"?
We still have over a month until Grey's Anatomy Season 10 returns on February 27, 2014, but at least spoilers are slowly coming in. One of the most interesting pieces of info so far is that there are several "potentially permanent" new sets in the works, one of which will have to do with a major plot point down the line for one of the show's "longtime" couples. What could this info be referring too? We thought we'd have some fun speculating — and then we want to hear your theories! A new workspace for Derek. Now that the president has given Derek a personal call, we can't imagine he'd turn down the request to work on the presidential brain mapping project. If he does take the new job, it will probably mean a new workspace. That could easily become a major plot point, especially if it's an office in a different part of the country. Maybe Mer starts to resent Derek for dropping daddy duty? A house for Calzona. If there's one longtime couple whose relationship has been at the center of the season so far, it's definitely Callie and Arizona. Maybe they decide that to fix their relationship, they need a fresh start — and with it, a fresh house. Or a new apartment for either Callie or Arizona. At this point, we're feeling pretty sure that Callie and Arizona are going to make things work, but we all know it's a mistake to get too confident about anything when it comes to relationships on this show. Could one of these lovely ladies decide to move out in a permanent way? We really hope not. A house for Jackson and April. While April and Jackson haven't exactly been together for an extended period of time, their feelings for each other have been a plot point for several seasons now, so it's possible they're who the spoiler is referring to. Perhaps after Jackson's declaration at April's wedding, they decide to go all in and move in together. What do you think this spoiler is about? Share your theories in the comments below!

Deployment Manifests for Office Solutions
A deployment manifest is an XML file that describes the deployment settings of a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System solution and identifies the current application version to deploy.
Visual Studio Tools for Office uses a subset of the deployment manifest schema defined for ClickOnce. Only the elements and attributes listed in this table are supported for Visual Studio Tools for Office solutions. Any elements and attributes that are part of the ClickOnce schema but are not listed here are ignored, with no error raised.
Visual Studio Tools for Office deployment manifests have the following elements and attributes.
Element | Description | Attributes |
<assembly> Element (Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment Reference) | Required. Top-level element. | manifestVersion |
<assemblyIdentity> Element (Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment Reference) | Required. Identifies the application manifest for the solution. | name version language publicKeyToken processorArchitecture |
<description> Element (Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment Reference) | Required. Provides application information used to create a shell presence and the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel. | publisher product |
<dependency> Element (Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment Reference) | Required. Identifies the version of the solution to install for the deployment and the location of the application manifest. | name version |
<deployment> Element (Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment Reference) | Optional. Identifies the attributes used for the deployment of updates and exposure to the system. | install |
<dependentAssembly> Element (Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment Reference) | Required. | codebase size hash hashalg |
The deployment manifest file identifies the current version of a solution. It references the application manifest, which describes the solution and all of the files contained within the current version. When you make a new version of a solution available, you must update the deployment manifest to refer to the new application manifest. When the document runs, the runtime detects that the deployment manifest has a new version. The new application manifest specified in the deployment manifest is downloaded to the document.
The MSBuild task GenerateDeployManifest generates the deployment manifest in the output folder. This task is invoked by the Publish Wizard, and also when you build a Visual Studio Tools for Office project from the command line and specify a Publish target. For more information, see GenerateDeploymentManifest Task.
Application and deployment manifests in Visual Studio Tools for Office solutions are not signed, as ClickOnce manifests are. The manifests cannot be validated before they are used.
Some of the fields in application and deployment manifests that are generated by the publish tools are not used in Visual Studio Tools for Office solutions, including some fields that identify properties of the assembly such as size and version.
The following code example illustrates a deployment manifest for a Visual Studio Tools for Office solution.

(North side)
Christ Church
Church. 1875. T. D. Barry and Sons Ltd, Liverpool. Rockfaced yellow sandstone with ashlar dressings. Plain tile roof with decorative ridge.
PLAN: Three cell church with west tower, nave with two south porches, north and south aisles, chancel with Sacristy to the north and Lady Chapel to the south.
FAÇADE: The west tower has stepped angle buttresses and plinth and four stages rising to a corbelled table with gargoyles at the angles and in the centre of each face supports the broach spire with lucarnes on two levels set at opposite diagonal stages divided by offsets carried across from angled buttresses. On the top stage of the tower, on the north, east, south and west elevations, are pairs of pointed arch openings with simple reticulated tracery and timber boards with quatrefoil cut outs. On the first stage the west front has an entrance door with double timber doors, a deeply moulded pointed arch with hood mould terminating in decorative crocket finial and foliate ball stops. The west elevation is pierced by three quatrefoils and the north elevation is plain rock faced. On the second stage the south elevation carries the dedication stone set in a pointed arch with geometric tracery with quatrefoils and trefoils, and on the third stage is a pair of single long narrow windows with ogee heads. A feature of the façade on all four elevations is the very fine window tracery set largely in pointed headed arches with moulded drip stones rising from foliate ball stops, in geometric patterns with a variety of motifs including quatrefoils, trefoils, cinquefoils and mouchettes. Windows of two lights occupy the first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth bay of the south aisle elevation, bays one and two of the Lady Chapel south elevation and second bay of the Sacristy, and bays two, three and four and five of the north aisle. Similar but grander windows occur on the east elevation in the gables of the Lady Chapel, Chancel and Sacristy, being of three, five and two lights respectively. Beneath the Sacristy is a simple shouldered flat headed entrance to the boiler room below with a chimney on the north side of the gable. Windows to the clerestory form pairs of pointed arch headed windows with simple reticulated tracery and moulded drip stones rising from foliate ball stops. There are four pairs above the south aisle and six pairs above the north aisle. The south porch occupies the second bay; it has angled buttresses, a pointed arch doorway with moulded drip stone terminating in foliate ball stops and a cruciform finial on top of a steeply pitched plain tile roof. To the east and west elevation are pairs of ogee headed windows. The porch steps up to a second transept with a single arched window with geometric tracery. At the end of the south aisle is a priest's porch with an octagonal Sanctus bellcote topped by a spirette. The porch is square in plan with set back stepped buttresses, a narrow deeply set timber door with a shouldered triangular head set in a crocheted mock gable. Gargoyles project from the angles at the string course. The bell cote has pierced lancet headed openings with simple reticulated tracery. The octagonal spirette has trefoil piercing and lucarnes at the cardinal points. The north façade has a north entrance to the Sacristy up external stone stairs with simple iron handrails on top of a solid stone balustrade. The door has a pointed arch with moulded drip stones rising from foliate ball stops. A second north door occupies the eastern most bay of the north transept also with a pointed arch with mould dripstone and foliate ball stops.
INTERIOR: The interior is simple with a plain nave roof in a pointed tunnel vault. There is a simple wagon roof in the chancel and timber pent roof in the aisles. The nave has an arcade of alternate drum columns and octagonal piers with rather stiff foliate capitals. The aisles are wainscoted in tongue and groove timber panelling. The majority of the pews survive in situ, except at the rear where they have been removed to form a modern meeting space. The nave and aisles are paved in red and black quarry tiles set on the diagonal. The sanctuary beyond the alter rails has a fine polychrome encaustic pavement. The original pitch pine and wrought iron choir stalls, alter rails, pulpit and altar survive in situ. The east window was designed by Charles Eomer Kemp in 1895. The font is carved octagonal pale stone with niches alternating saints and scripts with black marble shafts between. The organ which occupies the end of the north transept is by Nicholsons of Malvern Link in 1884 and has 1486 painted pipes. The Lady Chapel is at the end of the south transept and has a window by Clayton and Bell in 1886. The 1914-18 war memorial in white marble with an alabaster surround is by the Bromsgrove Guild in 1921. The interior presents a simple but competent scheme with the effect of the excellent window tracery enhancing the overall character of the church.
HISTORY: Built in 1875 in the expanding suburb around the recently opened station, Christ Church, Malvern was founded by the Lady Emily Foley, the Lady of the Manor at a cost of £8,000-£9,000. The architect was a known church architect and established practitioner of the Gothic Style, T. D. Barry and Sons Ltd of Liverpool.

AC Milan and Barcelona chase Manchester United's £25m Vidic
Manchester United face a battle to keep hold of defensive kingpin Nemanja Vidic, with AC Milan and Barcelona eager to sign him.
Sportsmail revealed last month that United had concerns as Vidic's wife Ana has struggled to settle in Manchester and is keen on moving away from the city to a better climate.
Now Milan and Barca hope to capitalise on the Serb's predicament and tempt him away with a bumper £25million deal and the benefits of a new environment.
United will resist all offers for the 27-year-old, who has just enjoyed an outstanding season.
He is pivotal to their plans and hugely popular with staff and fans alike, but club insiders say they recognise there could be a problem.
Vidic feels that Old Trafford is the best place for his football career but is worried about the strain which could be placed upon that if his wife remains unhappy.

When I have to eat now, and real cooking is out of the question, I head for the pantry and grab 1 can of rotel tomatoes, 1 can cannellini beans (both drained or undrained, your choice.).

Please critique my itinerary for 5 night trip to San Francisco (DID LOTS OF RESEARCH) If you decide to drive south on Highway One in the morning, Duartes in Pescadero is well worth a stop. Excellent breakfast and homemade pies in a real small-town coastal california atmosphere. For my money, the coast road doesn' t get really good until you get south of Carmel, but the section between SF and Monterey is still worth a look if you' ve never been. As others have mentioned, Nepenthe is a spectacular place to stop and have a drink on a beautiful terrace overlooking the Big Sur coast. A little further south is the Henry Miller Library, and the Post Ranch Inn with it's Sierra Mar restaurant perched on a cliff over the Pacific. A restaurant with views as amazing as this will almost always have lousy food, but this place is the exception to the rule. Everything we ate here was first class for both lunch and dinner. Enjoy! |
Second this delicious prep. I grew up eating this and make it myself when I manage to find some black radishes.

New twist for Wolverines in home finale
NOV 17, 2012 2:07p ET
Gardner was the star of Michigan's 42-17 victory over Iowa, running for three touchdowns and throwing for three more, but Denard Robinson's new role might have been the bigger story.
In a scheme drawn up by offensive coordinator Al Borges, Robinson returned from injury to snaps at tailback, wide receiver and quarterback. Robinson hadn't played since sustained nerve damage in his passing elbow during Michigan's Oct. 27 loss at Nebraska.
The Big House crowd gave Robinson a standing ovation when he was recognized during pregame Senior Day ceremonies, and roared again when he took the field for Michigan's first offensive play. Instead of taking his normal quarterback position, he lined up at running back next to Gardner and took a pitch for a three-yard run.
Robinson also caught a screen pass on Michigan's first drive, and later busted out his specialty — a 40-yard gain on an option keeper from the quarterback position. He led Michigan with 98 yards rushing on 13 carries, and caught two passes for 24 yards.
"I got cleared to practice earlier this week, and when coach Borges suggested this new role, I was all for it," he said. "This was my last game in this stadium, and I wanted to get on the field."
Robinson had thrown a few passes in the pregame warm-ups, but didn't try one in the game. He smiled when asked if he could have thrown if needed.
"I guess we'll find out next week," he said, referring to Michigan's game at Ohio State.
Gardner also thinks having two multiposition players — he went back to wide receiver when Robinson was at quarterback — will give the Buckeyes something to worry about.
"They are definitely going to have to think about that," he said. "If they don't, that's fine with us."
Robinson's comeback drew cheers Saturday, but the day belonged to his current and future replacement. Gardner became the first Michigan player to account for six touchdowns since Steve Smith did it twice in the 1980s.
"Did he really have six touchdowns?" Brady Hoke asked. "I wasn't keeping track. I guess he was pretty good."
Gardner completed 18 of 23 passes for 314 yards and rushed nine times for 37 more. He led Michigan on six straight touchdown drives to start the game before throwing an interception with a 42-10 fourth-quarter lead.
"I never thought I'd be able to do things like this," said Gardner, who is expected to be Michigan's quarterback next year and could be back in 2014 if he's granted a retroactive medical redshirt for his injury-shortened freshman season. "I've gotten a chance to play quarterback at Michigan, and I'm thankful that I've been able to take advantage of it."
Gardner wasn't one of the seniors being honored before the game, but he's certainly earned the respect of the players who were leaving Michigan Stadium for the last time.
"He's made a lot of progress," said Roy Roundtree. "He's stayed humble and shown all of us what he can do."
All of Michigan's offensive players were a little quieter after the game than normal, after witnessing tailback Fitzgerald Toussaint suffer a severe injury to his left leg. Toussaint was hit by two Iowa defenders at the same time, and replays showed his left shin buckling in a grotesque manner.
Hoke didn't give many details, saying that he wanted to make sure Toussaint's mother had been properly informed. Hoke did say that the redshirt junior was at UM Medical Center and undergoing surgery for a leg injury.
"I've never seen Fitz in that kind of pain," Gardner said. "I just started praying."
Robinson, who served as a mentor to Toussaint during his early-season suspension for drunk driving, said it was a very emotional moment.
"I never wanted to see anything like that — Fitz is like a brother to me and to all of us," Robinson said. "It's tough to see your brother lying there, hurting like that, and knowing there's nothing you can do to help him."
Still, at the end of the day, Robinson and Roundtree's memories of Saturday will revolve around that last walk off the field with 113,000 fans cheering another victory.
"There were just so many thoughts going through my mind when I was coming off the field," Robinson said. "I've had so many memories here, some bad but mostly good. I wasn't thinking about any one game, just about how fast my four years went. I guess they aren't kidding when they say that time goes fast when you are enjoying yourself.
"I just wish I could say thank you to every person who has been at one of my games here. It's been amazing to play in front of 110,000 fans every time."
