Why Nicky Morgan needs to set a curriculum for teacher training
In many ways, this will be a Parliament of consolidation at the Department for Education. The policies of the last five years are coming into force, and Nicky Morgan will need to put her political energy into seeing them through. But there is one area that does need reforming, and it needs it now. It is possibly the biggest opportunity to improve education in this Parliament, and one that would last well beyond 2020. It doesn't sound glamorous or exciting, and won't make the headlines. But its potential should not be underestimated. Nicky Morgan should use this Parliament to set a curriculum for teacher training.
Teacher workload is already extremely high, as Morgan has publically recognised. This means that government can't improve outcomes in a way that puts pressure on schools – there are no more gains to be made from making teachers work harder. Instead, government has to look for ways to help teachers be more effective; and it should start by making sure every new teacher gets the training they deserve.
When I did my teacher training we spent laughably little time learning about learning. We discussed what made a good lesson (in the lecturer's opinion…) but rarely why those components were good. We were often given quasi-moral justifications, like the assertions that "it is better to discover things for yourself" or "children learn better when they work in groups", but I cannot recall a single time I heard something explained in terms of how a child's brain would be responding.

Five lessons I've learned about genetics
I admit that I began reading to find evidence that supported my view. I was sure science would back me up. And then I, complete with a list of Harvard-format references, would win the next debate. The problem was that science didn't agree with me. I could find pockets of supporting evidence, but the overwhelming consensus was that I was wrong. It made me phenomenally uncomfortable to see a consensus emerging that directly contradicted my beliefs about how the world should be. But ultimately, science is not about how the world should be. Science is about how the world is. And if I want to make it different, I need an accurate picture of how it is now.
This is a blog on reading about genetics – what I've learned, and what I want to do about it. The lessons are the things that struck me as a teacher most, and are largely based on reading about intelligence or other cognitive characteristics. I want to note up front that I am not an expert, and that writing this is part of my attempt to learn more. If and when I've made a mistake please let me know and I will rectify it as quickly as possible.
Lesson #1: Genetics explains much more of the variation between people than I was willing to accept
The most influential type of study for this blog is the twin study, which looks to explain the variation between people and attribute it to one of three categories of cause: the shared environment (factors that would be common to a pair of twins living in the same household and attending the same school); the non-shared environment (all other environmental factors); and genetics. Studies of cognitive ability tend to find that variation is 10-20% shared environment, 30-40% non-shared environment, and 50-60% genetics.
This was hard for me to accept. I wanted to believe that most variation is caused by things within our control. Instead the shared environment, of which school is only one part, explains under a fifth of the variation between people.
Before moving on to Lesson #2 it is important to stress that we are talking about variation here – not absolute levels. We can say that 50% of variation in intelligence is genetic in origin, we can say nothing about how much of your intelligence is caused by your genes.
Lesson #2: Environments change how genes are expressed
Your genetic code is fixed, but what you do with it isn't. Geneticist Nessa Carey likens your genetic code to the script of a play, which is then interpreted extensively by the actors and director before becoming the performance that eventually appears on stage. Epigenetics is the study of these interpretations, which are as crucial to our biological functioning as the genetic code itself.
One thing we learn from epigenetics is that our environment shapes how we interpret our genetic code, and that these interpretations stick. Once we have scrawled annotations over our genetic script they will stay unless we actively rub them out – and when our children inherit our scripts they will find many of our annotations still in place.
Extreme or consistent environmental stimuli can create epigenetic modifications that change how your genes are expressed. For example, a stressful environment can lead to genes that control the production of cortisol (a stress hormone) becoming over-expressed, meaning that you become much more easily stressed in the future. Such a change will then persist, shutting off chunks of working memory and reducing executive function in years to come.
As many epigenetic modifications are heritable it is difficult for twin studies to separate their effect from the effect of genes themselves, and so it is possible that some of the causal impact of genetics is actually environmental in origin. As our ability to do more complex analysis with the genome itself increases we will no doubt find out whether this possibility means anything in practice.
Lesson #3: Environments correlate with genes
A tall child is more likely than a short child to be asked to try out for the basketball team. Where we may have a genetic propensity towards a certain area we tend to seek out (or be pushed towards) an environment that increases that propensity. This means that a small effect that begins life as just an inkling of interest or talent can easily grow into a specialised environment that exaggerates initially small effects. It is possible that correlations like this are responsible for a significant proportion of our genes' impact. If we adapt environments, whether consciously or not, we will be magnifying genetic differences.
Lesson #4: Genetics does not determine outcomes
Twin studies observe the differences we see today and explain their origins. They do not have any say in how big these differences are or will be in the future. So the fact that 50% of variation in a characteristic is due to genetic causes today does not mean that it must be tomorrow. Nor does it mean that we must accept present levels of difference as necessary. The numbers we find in these studies are not natural constants.
Behavioural geneticist Robert Plomin says that studies tell you what is, not what could be. He likens our genetic understanding of intelligence to our understanding of weight. Whilst it is obviously the case that people can be genetically predisposed to put on more or less weight than each other, it is also true that with the right interventions almost anybody can achieve a healthy weight. The same is true for intelligence. There may be genetic predispositions, but we can make sure that everybody achieves an acceptable level by providing the right environment.
Lesson #5: Genetics assumes determinism
If a study assumes that all difference is caused by either genetics, the shared environment or the non-shared environment, then it is also making one other underlying assumption: that everything about a person has an external cause. It assumes that your intelligence or success is a function solely of your genes and your environment. But what if everything about us is not 100% deterministic?
I was hesitant to write this lesson down, for fear of seeming to criticise the entire body of work genetics has given us. Science has to operate by studying the relationship between cause and effect. I cannot challenge it for failing to account for independent free will. But I am nonetheless uncomfortable not accounting for it. I do not know nearly enough in this area to do anything more than speculate. But I do wonder whether the large influence of the non-shared environment, that bucket for everything we can't put our finger on, may be substantially down to things like attitude and motivation that may not be fully caused by an external mechanism.
So what do I take from all this?
Firstly, that genetics plays an unquestionably big role in explaining who we are, and how our brains work. Even if some of the effect attributed to genes is in fact environmental in origin (due to epigenetics or gene-environment correlations) there is no doubt that genes have a huge influence.
But secondly, even though genes make us all different, they don't determine our cognitive future. Long-term memory still has unlimited capacity; brain plasticity is still immense; and good teaching can still take advantage of this. Genes determine difference, but they're no excuse for educational inequality.
We can't afford to ignore the lessons from Chinese school
Imagine I told you there was a way to make our children perform 10% better in their exams after just four weeks of study. It involves changing a school's timetable and teaching style, but still leaving plenty of room for leadership opportunities and extra-curricular activities. You'd expect to hear a clamour insisting that we roll this out in all schools immediately. Instead, Chinese School has earned itself a long list of critics. They don't like Chinese education because it of its values. Or more precisely, because it values knowledge.
They argue that we should not be seeking to learn from Chinese teaching, despite its superior results. They concede that doing so would make our children learn more, but that this would come at too high a cost. Any improvement in our teaching of knowledge, they argue, would stop pupils being creative thinkers or challengers of the status quo. Yes, Chinese teaching may improve the learning of rules and information, but it does nothing to teach originality.
They seriously appear to be arguing that in a system in which 35% of 16 year olds failed English GCSE this year our problem is learning too much vocabulary, knowing the laws of grammar too well, and sticking too rigidly to the traditions of the literary canon. Otherwise why complain that Chinese teaching is good at helping pupils learn information?

3 Teaching Techniques That Made My 2014
At the start of this academic year I wanted to really put the theory of learning I knew into practice. Here are three teaching techniques I tried that I'll be taking with me into 2015.
1. Interleave *everything*
We know that interleaving concepts and procedures is a desirable difficulty that improves learning. This year I've made it my aim to never teach a lesson that uses only one topic. Extension work doesn't count: the main bulk of a lesson must include multiple concepts. In practice, this means that every set of questions I write includes applying the new thing being learned to problems involving other concepts from earlier on in the curriculum. I found this daunting at first – "what if it's just too confusing for them?" – but I've found there's tremendous power in my expectation that they can competently use everything I have taught them, at any time.
It's also made the questions I write far richer and more interesting than ever before. A standard lesson on volume would include questions on upper and lower bounds, percentage changes to a volume when dimensions change by different percentages, and using Pythagoras' Theorem to find missing dimensions before calculating a volume. These questions were the normal ones. They were not special extension questions for the top 20%. The message this broadcast, combined with the cognitive effect of the desirable difficulty, has made a noticeable impact on learning.
2. Spaced testing of *everything*
We know that spacing and testing are two of the most powerful tools in an educators' arsenal. So I've made it my aim to space out testing of everything my students' have studied.
The first way I've done this is through our departmental testing. This year we're using low-stakes quizzes on each topic as a replacement for the half-termly summative tests we used to use. What's great about this is that each topic has two quizzes: one taken at the end of the topic, and one a month later. This reinforces the expectation that students should remember what they've been taught, and incentivises them to revisit their learning when it will have the biggest impact on longer-term retention.
The second way is through an idea I've borrowed from Bruno Reddy and Kris Boulton at KSA. Long ago they told me about "Only 100% Will Do" starters: simple recall or procedural questions that had been previously studied. Now my students begin every lesson with an "Only 100% Will Do" sheet where they work on concepts from any past year group to make sure that they're keeping up to speed.
3. Lightning fast in-class assessment
I have always been a big fan of in-class assessment, and could singlehandedly prop up the UK's mini-whiteboard industry. But over the summer Joe Kirby introduced me to an app called Quick Key. It changed my life!
Quick Key is an optical scanning app for mobile phones. It works by scanning in students' answer sheets to a multiple choice quiz, and giving you great analytics on your phone or in a spreadsheet. It's also fast – I can scan a whole class set of answers in about a minute. This lets me pinpoint exactly how well the class are doing at a topic. I will discover that one mistake or misconception is bogging down the whole room, or that four students need extra support in this lesson and another five need extra challenge. The laser-like precision with which I can adapt during a lesson or plan the next one is having a big impact on my teaching.
Like any technique, these three have worked well because I made them a habit. We do these three things in the same way in almost every lesson. This consistency no doubt aids their effectiveness. But they are nonetheless three real techniques that put into practice the theory of learning we know to be so powerful.
There Is a Magic Bullet: how to reduce teacher workload in one fell swoop
Teaching is a tough job, with a tough workload. It isn't easy, and it isn't going to become easy either. But it can and should be manageable. Sadly in too many schools workload can become excessive, and can do so without improving teaching. But there is one policy that would reduce teacher workload and improve lessons in English schools:
Abolish the Quality of Teaching judgment in Ofsted inspections.
We should do this because:
It incentivises bad leadership
It is easier to tick QoT tick boxes than it is to actually improve results. It is easier to produce an evidence trail than it is to produce an impact. And it is easier to force teachers to work ever harder than it is to make their effort more productive. School leaders who face a grilling from external inspectors, be they Ofsted or otherwise, will find it much easier to create an illusion of performance and score well on QoT than to create actual performance and score well on Achievement.
So why not insist that all staff plan all lessons in detail and in writing on a school proforma? It might not improve learning, but it's good way to demonstrate QoT. Why not make all staff mark all books every night in four different colours of pen? It might not improve feedback, but it's a good way to demonstrate QoT. And before you know it, terrified leaders in many schools are imposing dreadful policies on their staff; because it's easier to put on a show for an inspector than it is to improve results.
It makes teachers teach worse lessons
QoT judges teaching by how it looks, not by what it achieves. This makes teachers ensure teaching looks better, even if that doesn't make it achieve more. So teachers spend their time on appearances. They buy books on 100 ways to make their lesson look outstanding, and trade chinese whispers about what Ofsted want to see. The time they would spend increasing the impact of their teaching they spend implementing new fads; not because they work, but because they look good.
It harms the quality of teaching – and causes excessive workload
The QoT grade doesn't improve impact, just appearances. But even if some of this pressure does rub off on impact, that impact doesn't come for free. There is a huge opportunity cost to everything that a teacher does. If they're spending their time on appearances then they're not spending their time improving learning. And that matters. It matters because teachers can't work infinite hours, and so something has to give. When that something was improving the actual quality of teaching, not the illusory QoT, it's children who lose out.
So instead we should lose the QoT grade. Judge schools on the impact they have, not on how they look. Then we can lose the smoke and mirrors policies that look good but make real improvement harder. Leaders and teachers will have one aim – to improve the impact they have on children. And there will be no perverse incentive to distract them from it.
This isn't a blog about private schools
But it's not because I couldn't write one. I have quite strong views on private schools, and I even think they're well-reasoned. But I'm not going to write about them.
Because this debate doesn't matter. Will forcing reluctant private schools to share their theatres change education? Would an extra £150 million for the DfE budget really improve the system? No.
One day we might reach the point where the next most important change is reform of private schools, in which case we can have this debate. But until then we should focus on bigger things. Like:
- Over a third of schools either Require Improvement or are Inadequate
- Over a third of 16 year-olds don't get at least 5 A*-C with English and Maths
- Our alternative provision fails almost everyone who needs it
- Teacher Training fails to teach you about how people learn
- CPD tells teachers piles of rubbish pseudo-science
- Teachers spend much of their time doing things without an evidence-base to please various interest groups
Sharing theatres might be nice, but it won't solve these.
Let's postpone the debate until we have.

Anything remotely associated with Beyonce I would not even bother trying. How does one even get a name like Beyoncé anyway????

she got the name when someone caught her running down the road, she Beyoncé-d the whole time!
I haven't heard any of this album, and I'm not listening to that clipjust now because I am listening to something else...
but I have heard a handful of earlier songs from Solange, and I will say that, while I wasn't going to race out and buy it, I liked what I heard a whole lot better than anything I have heard from Beyonce.
Check out for example a song called "Lovers In the Parking Lot." You have to agree that it's at least an interesting tune. (It helps if you just listen to the video without watching it.)
Also, surely someone who, as she did, gets into a fight with Jay-Z and is so pissed off at him that she slaps him repeatedly, is deserving of a few automatic points just for that.

I just listened to that clip that MH posted. You know something... I actually think that's not a bad song. My big criticism of it is that the synthesised percussion is too loud and too prominent. If that was mixed down a fair bit. I could see myself going back to that song for repeated listenings.
I wish we could keep politics in the politics thread.

We conducted a prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label 2-year trial with 76 postmenopausal women aged ≥60 years with low (T-score less than −1) lumbar bone mineral density (BMD). The hormone replacement therapy (HRT) group received a low dose of conjugated estrogen (CEE) at a dose of 0.31 mg/day ± medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) 2.5 mg/day. Group HRT/D received the same dose of HRT together with alfacalcidol in a daily dose of 1.0 µg/day. Changes in lumbar BMD measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were followed every 6 months for 2 years. The lumbar BMD of group HRT increased 3.37% [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6%–5.2%], 4.00% (95%CI 1.6%–6.4%), and 2.32% (95%CI −0.7% to 5.3%) at 12, 18, and 24 months, respectively, when the baseline value was taken as 0%. Lumbar BMD of group HRT/D showed a significant increase beyond 6 months. The percent increases for this group at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months were 6.18 (95%CI 1.3%–6.6%), 6.18% (95%CI 3.9%–8.5%), 7.17% (95%CI 4.3%–10.0%), and 8.75% (95%CI 6.0%–11.5%), respectively. In addition, there was a significant difference in the changes of the lumbar BMD between the two groups at 24 months, suggesting that the combination of HRT and alfacalcidol is more effective than HRT alone in terms of the BMD effect. This study is the first prospective trial demonstrating an additive effect of alfacalcidol on lumbar BMD in postmenopausal women receiving low-dose HRT. It suggests that the combination therapy can be considered to be a promising mode of treatment for bone loss after menopause.

Parents: Man shot by off-duty trooper was asking for help, suffered from depression
BUTLER TOWNSHIP, Pa. - The parents of a man shot and killed by an off-duty state trooper Friday night said their son was likely going to their neighbor's house for help.
Bob Barkus said his son Kristopher, 25, was crying out for help when he went the trooper's home on September Drive in Butler County.
"You've lost the biggest treasure you've been blessed with," Bob Barkus said. "I believe he went to the neighbor's house. He met him before [and] knew he was a policeman and he could help him."
Bob Barkus said his son was an accomplished musician who suffered from depression and recent health problems. The man's father said about a month ago, Kristopher Barkus approached the trooper and asked if he could arrest him and put him in jail.
"We, and especially my wife, have been dealing with this for so many years…, his health problems, trying to get him squared away," Bob Barkus said.
Bob Barkus said his son took off from their home Friday night and threatened to harm himself. Bob Barkus said his other son followed Kristopher and witnessed the shooting.
"I regret I didn't follow him with my son," said Bob Barkus.
Investigators said the trooper told the men to leave. Neighbors told investigators that they heard a man yelling "drop your gun, drop your gun" and then shots were fired.
"[Kristopher] Barkus brandished a firearm, and the trooper stopped his action by discharging his firearm," said Pennsylvania State Trooper Dan Kester.
Bob Barkus said his son only owned an airsoft gun.
An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

It's a nice top, fabric is nice. The opening at the back is much bigger than I expected. Great for inside the gym and will be good for the hottest point of summer
Super cute details, sizing is pretty generous. Nice soft fabric and pretty colour.
This top is ok, the fit is quite big so i need to tie it at the back more. the white material is also quite see through at the front. I love the idea of the top just not quite right.
I LOVE this top. So comfortable. Wore it for a spin class and a gym session and so comfortable for both. Had compliments first time wearing it. It comes up big. I'm a 14-16 and the XL is still roomy. Great thing is the tie at the bottom of the back is adjustable so suits any shape.
Love this top! It's extremely flattering as it's slightly longer at the front, but the tie back gives a little bit of back on show. I just throw this on over a sports bra and away I go. I opted for an XS - i'm a size 8 and this fits perfectly! Thinking of ordering in white.
This has become my favourite work out top by a long way! The style and fit is really fashionable and I love the longer length style. The tie at the back can be changed to be looser or tighter, which is great depending on what type of work out you are doing. Would highly recommend if you want something that is highly functional but also looks great.
I am only a small and this was massive. Came right over the bottom it was that big. Very Disappointed. Goes Well With:A bigger person
Bought this plainer vest to go with my bright sports bras, was definitely not disappointed. The back is really pretty with the bow detailing and has the whole back open so you can easily see coloured and patterned sports bras underneath. Perfect for layering! Will be buying in the other colours for sure. Goes Well With:Bright sports bras

French DJ David Guetta, Coke launch talent contest
By Bob Tourtellotte
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - He launched his own dream career spinning records, and now David Guetta hopes to spin the dreams of aspiring DJs into their own reality through a contest he has cooked up with energy drink, burn.
The Grammy-winning music producer and DJ, who worked with the Black Eyed Peas on their smash hit "I Gotta Feeling," and the Coca-Cola Co, which makes burn, unveiled a promotional partnership on Thursday that includes both the competition and the making of a documentary movie about Guetta and his music.
"I've always wanted to, how can I say, give back the love a little bit to younger producers," the Parisian told Reuters. "I've been very, very blessed with success, and I want to help other people achieve this.
The documentary, which has yet to be titled, covers the 43-year-old's life from spinning records in French nightclubs in the 1980s and 1990s to producing records for top acts such as Akon and creating his own hit albums.
The film also will explore the recent history of the underground dance music scene, electronica, house tunes and the large festivals that are now a routine part of the industry.
"People from my generation and even younger know my history, but a lot of kids don't know the history of this music," he said.
Details of both the movie and the competition were scant at the time of the announcement. An official with Coca-Cola said a director will soon be hired, production will begin in April and the hope is to release the documentary in September.
Rules for the contest are expected to be posted in the near future on the energy drink's website, burn.com. The winner will get his or her big break spinning records at Guetta's dance parties on the tourist island Ibiza, off the coast of Spain. Continued...

Additional Location Information
Villa Filira is set near Kolymbari, a small village in western Crete nestled between the sea and the cliffs, at 22 km from the bustling town of Chania. Still retaining its original character, as the area in not a mass tourism destination, it will offer a good taste of local lifestyle. You can will have the opportunity to socialize with the locals, taste fresh seasonal products and regional specialties, wander around the seaside promenade and dine at simple family-run eateries and taverns. The village's beach has bot a sand and a shingle part, with some more popular and some quieter spots,
so you can take it as you please. In Kolymbari you can find all basic facilities, such as a supermarket, pharmacy, post office, bakery, bank, ATM's, fuel station and a doctor's office. There is a frequent bus service with Chania town and a taxi station. Should you feel like having a late night out or do some shopping, you can drive to the lively resort of Platanias, a 10min drive away, or to Chania town, for an even wider variety.

Going behind the scenes, you can explore spots off the beaten track, with influences that give Chania a very unique character
Taking the inland drives, there is an impressive variation of mountain and coastal scenery. The White Mountains, with a number of gorges – Samaria Gorge being the most famous.

"Stunning villa! Highly recommended"
Enjoy this beautiful villa with stunning views and amazing furnishing. The hosts are lovely and very helpful. We enjoyed the infinity pool, outdoor bbq and patio. You will see the sunrise right from one of the upper bedrooms. The next time we are in Crete, we will stay at the same place. What a treat!
A FlipKey verified reviewer
Not only is the house beautiful, comfortable and charming but the village in which it is located is a gem as well. The people are lovely, the history abundant and the food is fabulous. And if that is not enough for you the five star hotel down the road has a first rate spa. Perfection!
"Haven of tranquility"
Splendid villa in beautiful garden with nice pool and view. Catched some hot autumn sun in October. Had a great stay! The villa is perfect for discovering Western Crete. Located close to the village of Kolymbari, but you will need a car to get around. Facilities are modern and the villa is well kept and clean. Vegetable garden and the local welcome basket are delicious! The host family is very welcoming and helps guests to make the most of the stay at Villa Filira. Absolutely recommend!

"Beautiful Villa with a personal touch"
We spent a wonderful week in sumptuous surroundings . The Villa is tastefully designed and beautifully situated overlooking Kolymbari. It has picturesque views from every aspect to both the mountains and the sea. What makes the stay at Villa Filira special however, is the personal touch from Roula and Manolis the Villa owners and an extra delight is the free use of the vegetable garden with its organic produce and herbs. I'd recommend this Villa to anyone who wants to both rest in and explore Western Crete.

"Beautilful Villa, Wonderful Hosts"
A group of 5 of us recently spent a week at Villa Filira. It was everything we had imagined and more. The pictures just do not do this place justice. It is magnificent! The property, the grounds, the garden, the infinity pool - everything was perfect and exceptionally well adorned. We were only a short drive away from a Super Market but with the wonderful gardens, we had complete access to all the fresh vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.) that we could ever imagine, herbs (oregano, rosemary, chives, etc.) and their pomegranate and limes were the best I have ever tasted! Because the place was so beautiful, with such a magnificient view, we had a hard time pulling ourselves away from the Villa. The outdoor space is heavenly!! That said, I would highly recommend visiting Chania, a 20 minute drive from the Villa, as it is beautiful. The property was clean, well maintained, spacious and super comfortable for 5 adults to live together easily. Roula and Manoulis, the owners, were very accommodating, and always accessible. Roula was quick to respond to all of our questions and offered assistance and useful information in every way possible. We were greeted with an amazing welcome basket complete with home-made Raki, Wine, Honey, Marmalade, Olive Oil and Lemonade. Both Roula and Manoulis were very warm and hospitable. I would highly recommend this property to any friend or relative looking for a place to stay in Crete. Thank you to Roula and Manoulis for making our stay that much more pleasant!

We have had a perfect holiday - redolent of beauty, substance - a delight from start to finish. Roula and her husband have created a haven which is as marvelous inside as out. Situated in an olive grove and with a garden featuring fresh limes, lemons, fruits, vegetables, as well as roses, hibiscus and jasmine, we often had to pinch ourselves to realize it was real. Indeed the garden, the pool, the views, the sea, the house itself created a backdrop of enchantment. The house itself is a joy. Immaculate, perfectly furnished - and with great good taste - stocked with anything anyone could possibly desire - what a joy. None of us wanted to leave. As for Roula and her family, their hospitality was extraordinary. Really beyond words. They were available to answer our questions, give us guidance and direction but only as we needed. Their hospitality defined the concept. Their graciousness, too. Roula's daughter, Joanna, met us at the airport and guided us brilliantly through the car rental process and then gave us a fascinating tour of the village of Kolymbari. We were smitten from the moment we landed with a sense of gladness and well-being. Not one bit surprising given our guides. Our thanks for a splendid holiday. We will be back! In the mean time, we carry with us a present memory of wonder and appreciation. I must add we loved the village of Kolymbari. Wonderful places to eat - esp. Argentina, which we went to several times - a fascinating and beautiful monastery, a lovely little beach; and it was within easy distance of all sorts of wonderful places to visit. I can't think of a village in this part of Crete where we would rather have been living. Roula, Manolis, Joanna, Gregory... our ebullient thanks, and as ever, Liz and Woody Littlefield - and Kate Littlefield

"It could not have been better!!!"
What a dream!! The house, the view, garden, pool, absolutely everything has exceeded our expectations. We have spent an unforgettable week at Villa Filira. Everything fits perfect and you feel the loving details of the owners. The warm and bright friendly welcome gave us immediately the feeling of beeing at home. Roula and Manolis have created a jewel at Crete, and we can only be thankful that the both of them share it with their guests. We say thank you again! Thank you for everything and we would love to come back any time but then for a longer stay!
The owner's hospitality is beyond expectations. We were greated with homemade Raki and fresh cucumbers from the garden, along with a basket of homemade olive oil, wine, raki, herb tea mix, honey and jams. The villa is beautiful, very clean with all the comforts of home. The outdoor space is private, pool sparkling, and gardens beautiful. The usable vegetable garden and fruit trees were a treat and added to many of our Cretan meals. The location gives you expansive views of coastline, olive trees and the village Kolympari below. We walked to this village for pastries, groceries and memorable meals in restaurants next to the sea. It was very hard to leave, and look forward to my next visit.

"Beautiful villa in a perfect location"
Last friday we came back from a one week stay in villa Filira in sunny Crete. What a splendid week we had! The villa exceeded our expectations. The whole villa smelled fresh and was very clean, we felt instantly at home. Every detail is taken care of. The beds are excellent, perfect showers with view (!) There are infact a lot of views in this beautiful house, even the bbq has a window with a gorgeous view! The gardens are meticulously taken care of and beautiful. The lemons from the lemon tree were amazing and we made drinks and lovely desserts with them. There is every opportunity to enjoy the sunny climate of greece. We admire the owners who put there soul in this place and felt privileged that we could enjoy this. This is a holiday destination we hopefuly return to soon.

"A lovely holiday experience in a truly magnificent villa"
We stayed at Villa Filira 3 weeks in October and had a really enjoyable stay, many thanks to the beautiful villa with all its lovely qualities and the great follow-up and hospitality we received from Roula, Manolis and anna. The check-in and check-out procedures were easy and smooth, from anna met us at the airport upon arrival til we left the gate three weeks later. The villa was spotless upon arrival - as it also was after the cleaning and laundry service twice a week during our stay. The villa's high qualities are sustained throughout - including the very nice interior decoration and amenities, the lovely terraces, the beautiful and well-kept garden and not at least the fantastic swimming pool. It was also fun and practical to be able to pick fresh tomatoes, peppers, salads, limes and grapes from the garden! The outdoor barbecue was frequently used in the evening. We travelled with small kids and the villa was very suitable for our needs. The pool was excellent with its separated child area and shades. Upon our request, Roula and Manolis kindly supplied many outdoor toys for the children, e.g. a play house, a slide, swings etc. The location was nice with lovely views of the sea and the small village of Kolymbari. Although not a very picturesque village, we learned to appreciate the charm of the day-to-day life in Kolymbari during our stay. Unfortunately the road was not very suitable for walking, so a car was needed to drive the 1-2 kilometers to the village. Chania was only 15-20 mins away, and the beautiful Falasarna beach about 30 mins. All in all the villa and the services exceeded our expectations and gave our stay a touch of luxury - we can highly recommend a stay at Villa Filira!

Cathy Marlow, 28, was killed in a frenzied attack after popping into her firm's London HQ at the weekend.
Speaking from the family home in New Zealand, her father, Bernard, said: 'It is a very difficult time.
'We've got no information other than that she's dead and that it's not straightforward. Foul play was involved.'
Police believe Miss Marlow was stabbed to death but have refused to reveal whether she was sexually assaulted. No murder weapon has been found.
Officers were sent to her workplace on Saturday night when a 28-year-old man dialled 999 to say he had found Miss Marlow's body in a shower stall.
The man - believed to be a former colleague of the financial manager - has been arrested on suspicion of murder and was still being questioned last night.
Police sources stress however that detectives were keeping an 'open mind' as to who was responsible for the killing.
News of Miss Marlow's death shocked her 100-plus colleagues at Research Now in Vauxhall, South London.
She had gone into the market research firm's office in South Lambeth Road on Saturday to catch up on some paperwork.
None of her colleagues were at work that day but police are checking CCTV footage from the security camera at the front door.
There has been no suggestion that she was being stalked and she is not thought to have been in a relationship.
Miss Marlow, who had worked for Research Now for 18 months, came from Napier in the Hawkes Bay area of New Zealand's North Island.
Friends there said she had trained as an accountant before setting off for Europe three years ago.
She returned home last year to catch up with family and friends and told them how much she was enjoying life in London.
'She was a lovely girl - very popular with the staff, a bubbly personality and one of those people everybody liked,' said Peter Hensman, her boss at the accounting firm she worked for at home.
'She was a very active young woman. She played touch rugby and netball but she also worked very hard. It was typical of her to be at work on Saturday.'
Mr Hensman said Miss Marlow had gone overseas with three other staff, all within a few months of each other.
'They all lived together at some stage in London and socialised together,' he added.
'One of the girls contacted me to let me know what had happened.
'She had been expecting to meet up with Cathy on Saturday night and she failed to turn up. It's pretty tragic. The staff are very upset.'
A post-mortem examination was being carried out last night.

text: I love reading, I love writing. That's mainly why I am here. My favorite books are those of Harry Potter, I have many others as well but couldn't sit and list them (I'm pretty picky so when I get a book I usually love it so I can't really pick favorites - other than Harry Potter. I'm also addicted to TV, having an embarrassing amount of shows that I watch/watched. The top 5 would have to be Dexter, Skins (UK), 30 Rock, Weeds and Misfits. And as such, I'm interested in screenwriting. I'm really inspired by Tina Fey because of that since she is brilliant. Other hobbies include nature photography, art stuff, and internet surfing. Animals are my passion and would - in an ideal world - sit in a jeep in the middle of some exotic area (I'm obsessed with traveling and new cultures) studying some animal whilst writing my novel/screenplay and snapping pictures every now and then for my wildlife photography career. We will see how that turns out.

No Significant Cancer Risk For Patients From Lupus Drugs
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly known as lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks healthy tissue such as the skin, joints, kidneys and the brain, leading to inflammation and lesions. The disease affects about 1 in 2000 Canadians, particularly women.
Previous research has suggested that lupus patients have an increased risk of developing cancer, particularly lymphoma. Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when cells called lymphocytes, which usually help protect the body from infection and disease, begin growing and multiplying uncontrollably leading to tumor growth.
"Treatment for Lupus consists largely of immunosuppressive medications, which lower the body's immune response," explains Dr. Sasha Bernatsky, first and corresponding author of the study, who is a researcher within the Divisions of Clinical Epidemiology and Rheumatology at the RI-MUHC and at McGill University.
According to Dr. Ann E. Clarke, director of the MUHC lupus clinic and study co-lead, the fear of developing cancer among Lupus patients has been so great that some were reluctant to take their medication and others stopped altogether. The international study involved 75 lupus patients with lymphoma from different centres around the world and nearly 5,000 cancer-free lupus patients as a control.
Researchers studied most of the drugs commonly used to treat SLE including cyclophosphamide, a drug reserved for severe lupus cases and other chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.
The results showed that the risk for lymphoma in lupus patients exposed to cyclophosphamide was less than 0.1% per year. In addition, no clear association was observed between lupus disease activity and lymphoma risk.
"People have been wondering for a long time whether the medications were to blame and the results are reassuring, suggesting that most lymphoma cases in SLE are not triggered by drug exposures," says Dr. Bernatsky.
"This is very good news that cancer risk associated with lupus medication is relatively low," said Louise Bergeron, who has been living with lupus for 12 years.
"It reassures me, especially if I need to take more effective immunosuppressive treatments in the coming years."
Future research will focus on the genetic profiles of lupus patients and what impact that can have on the interaction between medication exposure and lymphoma risk in lupus.

They created a courtyard by adding a master suite.
Where is it written that an addition must touch the existing house? By locating a new master suite 20 feet across a paved court and then surrounding the court with 12-foot-tall walls, Tucson architect Corky Poster not only provided a tranquil adult space but also created an outdoor room his family enjoys most of the year. Little was done to the existing 860- square-foot house; it still contains the kitchen, living-dining room, a bath, and two children's bedrooms. Poster concentrated his efforts on the square courtyard and the modest suite with the bonus of a new roof deck. An always-on intercom monitors the children. A greenhouse on the outer south wall collects solar heat during winter days; a fan blows it into the addition. With its brick floors, concrete roof, and sand-filled concrete-block walls, there is enough mass around the space to store heat overnight with a drop of only 4'. On the blocks' exterior, 2-inch-thick foam covered with stucco also moderates temperatures. In summer, greenhouse glazing is whitewashed, and windows are opened.

Tip Trays
Tip trays are a great way to present the bill to your customers in a clean, safe, and secure transport. They let you collect checks, cash, or other forms of payment, while making it easy for the server to keep everything organized.

Foodservice Superstore has a good selection of tip trays from brands like Carlisle Foodservice and Vollrath, so you can trust in the quality.

Many of our trays are inscribed with the words "thank you", which is a great way to send another message of appreciation to your customers. Not only are tip trays great for holding money and the bill, they are also great for holding after dinner mints, or chocolates. This increases the likelihood of a better tip for your wait staff, which keeps them efficient and happy, while making a good impression on your customers, which keeps them coming back. We also offer money maids which are coin and bill carriers that help you keep track of money and keep your finances accounted for.

State salutes
Van Asten was all over the football field for the Chiefs in their 35-0 victory over Darlington in the Division 5 state championship game Nov. 21 at Camp Randall Stadium. The senior split time between running back and quarterback and led the team in both rushing and passing. He gained 109 yards and scored two touchdowns in 22 carries and completed 7 of 11 passes for 147 yards and three scores. He also made six tackles and finished the season as the team leader in that category. "He's a quality football player and he sure ended it on a nice high note whether he was throwing the ball, running the ball hard and then defense, obviously," Chiefs coach Dino Heinemeyer said. "I could go on and on about him."
Oshkosh North
Neveau's football season came to a tough end Nov. 22 with a 51-10 loss to Kimberly in the Division 2 state championship game, but the Spartans would have never made it that far without the senior's ability to move the ball on the ground and through the air. He gained 1,000 yards both ways. The 5-foot-9 165-pound standout shone brightest in the state semifinals, when he completed 14 of 18 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 72 yards in seven carries in a 38-0 victory over Menasha. He had 247 yards rushing and passing in the final. "It doesn't matter if he's playing pingpong with his dad or on the basketball floor or he's playing football, he hates to lose," North coach Chris Kujawa said. "He hates to lose more than he loves to win."
Appleton Xavier
The senior capped a record-setting season by winning the state offensive player of the year award from the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association. Ferris set single-season records for touchdowns (50) and yards (3,949) and established a single-game mark with eight touchdown passes. His single-season marks blew away the previous standards, beating the old touchdown record by 10 and the old yardage record by 442 yards. "If you would have told me all this stuff would be happening at the beginning of the year, I'd have told you you were crazy," Ferris told the Appleton Post Crescent. His totals during his two seasons as a starter were 413 of 685 passing (60.3%) for 5,896 yards and 68 touchdowns.

Ellerbe played at 266
A lot of the bad things appear to be behind him now. Ellerbe once weighed 266 pounds. He now stays under a team prescribed 240. He is still learning the game from Lewis and Reed, but teaching it to some of the younger players as well. He has stepped up as well as grown up.
Re: Ellerbe played at 266
He's very athletic. I don't recall him ever seeming to play that outsized. He just needs to work on being more coachable, imo. He's got the physical skills to be a very good linebacker. If he inculcates what the coaches and Lewis are teaching and showing him, he'll get there.
Re: Ellerbe played at 266
I told you he was fat and slow last year. You could just see his fat gut hanging out, no definition in his arms and had a fat arse on top of it. The Ravens D in the AFC C game vs NE got better once he left with an injury, he couldnt handle the TE's or anybody for that matter. Still not sold on him as a player, he's the not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Re: Ellerbe played at 266
LOL at 266 for a linebacker being "fat", especially on the inside in a 3-4 where you typically have one "thumper" and one speed guy.
This 240lb ILB thing is quite new, and was far from the norm until recently with all the passing.Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/#!/thenflanalyst
Re: Ellerbe played at 266
Re: Ellerbe played at 266
He may have been playing at 260+ but that wasnt by his or the teams design most likely. When youre injured, staying in shape is hard, especially leg injuries. I can see how he put on a few while dealing with his hamstring.-JAB

Ellerbe at 260+ is for too heavy IMO because the guy is barely 6'1". 235-245 should be about right for him. When he was at Georgia he was around 230.

University authorities fear that listing could involve them in expensive planning battles as they need to improve facilities to cope with one of the biggest intakes of students since the war. Financially hard-pressed schools fear it will make maintenance and repairs dearer.
Six years ago, English Heritage named 70 post-war buildings for listing, but the Department of the Environment accepted only 18. Now it has drawn up guidelines on what makes a post-war building interesting and begun its survey. The list of educational buildings is the first fruit of this exercise, and English Heritage expects a more sympathetic response from the Department of National Heritage, which will decide what to list in March.
English Heritage's listing inspector, Dr Diane Kay, said: 'We hope what we put forward will get through. We've been very responsible and what we're going to put forward will be very good.'
The list will include such buildings as Leicester University's engineering block, whose laboratories, which look like space-age greenhouses, were designed in 1960 by the late Sir James Stirling and James Gowan; St Catherine's College, Oxford, by Arne Jacobsen, where the listing will include all the furniture and fittings designed by the architect; and the school at Hunstanton, Norfolk, which was designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, architects of The Economist building in Westminster, and is considered one of the most visionary post-war schools.
Already, Leicester's expansion plans have been affected by its being on the list. Last week the city council decided to recommend refusal of permission for alterations to the laboratory wing. The university wants to increase the size of its rooms by taking space from a balcony. The council consulted English Heritage after learning that the building was a candidate for listing and was told that the changes would 'lessen the drama of the building'.
A similar row is brewing at Sussex University, where the 30-year- old Falmer House building, considered one of the finest examples of Sir Basil Spence's work, is likely to be listed. The university wants to change its internal layout to extend the teaching space.
Sue Yates, a university spokeswoman, said: 'We are not at all happy about being listed. We consider we've got a very good record caring for our building and we don't feel we need external authorities telling us what to do. It's quite unnecessary and unwarranted interference.'
Southampton Institute, which has three 1963 buildings, is to apply for a Certificate of Immunity from listing, which it fears could jeopardise plans to redevelop its campus to accommodate growing student numbers.
The authorities at St Catherine's have more land and resources at their disposal. Dr Fran Dinshaw, the financial bursar, said: 'We are siting a new accommodation block on a car park. Listing does actually have some advantages. It means you don't pay VAT on repairs.'
Douglas Little, headmaster of Smithdon High School (formerly Hunstanton Secondary Modern School), said: 'If we become listed at least we'd be eligible for grants. But I can envisage a lot of bureaucratic red tape.
'The classrooms are now too small. Kids have grown since it was built and the rooms are full of computers and filing cabinets. The school is nightmarish to heat. All the rooms are on the first floor and there are no corridors, so there's no space for lockers.
'It was very visionary in 1954 and still looks very modern. If it's listed, it would be kudos, but it would have practical disadvantages.'
Dr Kay commented: 'Some of the schools and universities are probably panicking, but they are misinterpreting what listing is about.
'If the universities want to rearrange their rooms, that's not a problem, but it's more difficult if the building has been designed down to the nth degree. Listing is not meant to fossilise a building, but it means that it can't be changed willy-nilly.'
Other buildings to be recommended for listing include: New Hall, Cambridge, and Harvey Court, Caius College, Cambridge; Essendon School and Templewood School, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire; and Phoenix School, Bow, east London.

Claude Debussy Quotes About ArtQuotes about: Art
There is no theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law. I love music passionately. And because l love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. It is a free art gushing forth, an open-air art boundless as the elements, the wind, the sky, the sea. It must never be shut in and become an academic art.
What I am trying to do is something different an effect of reality, but what some fools call Impressionism , a term that is usually misapplied, especially by the critics who don't hesitate to apply it to Turner , the greatest creator of mysterious effects in the whole world of art.

Horn of Africa Update: May 2012
Dry conditions have generally eased in many parts of the Greater Horn of Africa following the onset of rains in parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti, Somalia, South Sudan and Uganda. However, significant rainfall deficits remain in some parts of the subregion and are likely to affect crop production in eastern Kenya, southern Somalia, southern Ethiopia and southern parts of South Sudan. Northern parts of South Sudan and Sudan, remain seasonally dry and do not expect rain until June.
The ongoing recovery from the severe 2011 drought in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya; below-normal start to the 2012 rains in many parts of the Greater Horn; the impacts of conflict in Sudan, South Sudan and southern Somalia; and rising food prices in the region, imply that food insecurity is likely to persist for months.

Search on to learn who shot, killed horse in Seminole County
SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. - Seminole County investigators are trying to find out who shot and killed a prized show horse.
The teenaged owner said she was devastated when she found her beloved pet in the middle of a Geneva pasture last weekend.
Michelle Tournour and her show horses are close to inseparable.
"All these horses are like my family. I've had them for years," said Tournour.
Tournour described the horses as her best friends. On Saturday, she discovered one of hers horses, Martini, dead.
Deputies believe someone used a high-powered rifle to shoot Martini earlier that morning.
But investigators said the shooter left no clues behind.
Deputies said it's impossible to tell where the bullet came from.
The area is popular for hunting, but Tournour said she thinks the shooting death of her horse wasn't an accident.
She said she doesn't know why Martini was targeted, but said the shooter aimed directly at the horse's heart.
"I believe someone was trying to really kill her," said Tournour.
Now the entire community is on alert.
Many who live in the area have horses of their own.
The family is offering a reward, in hopes someone comes forward with information.
"Everybody loves their animals here, and if they can kill a horse, how they going to stop him from killing another animal, like a donkey or someone else's precious animals?" said Tournour.
If you have any information on the horse's death, you are asked to contact the Seminole County Sheriff's Office at 407-665-6600
