Antarctic lake race sees scientists dash for life's secrets in subglacial world
Five things we learned from the Premier League this weekend | Jacob Steinberg, Tom Bryant and Evan Fanning
Stewart Downing is a failure, while Andre Villas-Boas, Mick McCarthy and Alex McLeish is looking over their shoulders
1) Downing: a waste of money
Manchester United and Liverpool both raised eyebrows to lose the wing of Aston Villa last summer. Ashley Young started his life in the United States promising enough before the loss of form and reduce the damage of your progress at Old Trafford against Chelsea last week was probably the worst player on the field and there was no place for him in the team against Liverpool on Saturday. With Antonio Valencia cement its status as top scorer in England and Ryan Giggs continues to ignore time and logic, is a luxury that America can not afford -. Unlike Liverpool
Liverpool has its fair share of baffling decisions in recent weeks and months, but spending 20 million pounds to bring Stewart Downing to Anfield should certainly be considered a big mistake in the transfer Kenny Dalglish market. Some point to the books on 35m Andy Carroll, others to 16 million pounds of Jordan Henderson, however, are young and when they were almost certainly too expensive - Liverpool is undergoing tax in English - who have been purchased not only by what they can do, but what they can offer to the club in the future. Although Carroll hardly deserves to be the eighth most expensive player of all time and almost certainly never justify the price, remember that panic spread through the defenses of the opposition when he was at Newcastle United Liverpool means can not give up yet.
This argument can not be used to Downing. We know what to do since 2003. Many executives saw and ruled without feeling that there is a hole in the form of Downing, meanwhile, which is why no big club movement was bothering him before last summer. It belongs to Liverpool, which is a mid-table player and his constant presence in the England team says more about the state of them that what he does. No change of pace, without artifice or bending for racing fans on their feet and this season, no goals or assists in the league: to put it bluntly, this is the type of business that loses its Director work
The largest load that could face Downing display against United was in a game where Liverpool could not carry passengers hiding. When Rafael da Silva hit, earning a booking in the first half, said he was in, like when Craig Bellamy, who should have started instead replaced him after 61 minutes of ineptitude. When Rafael Benitez was in charge of Liverpool, lack of money thwarted his attempts to sign a top class striker. Dalglish took the money. Downing bought.
2) Villas-Boas is running out of time
Accounts Chelsea revealed last week that costs £ 28m to replace the double winner, Carlo Ancelotti, with Andre Villas-Boas. This cost could be higher if the new manager can not take the club back in the top four places to ensure Champions League.
defeat Everton 2-0 Saturdaysad to Chelsea has 17 points from the top of the table in the fifth. In case of Villas-Boas did not stop the decline of his team, a season in League Europe alone has cost the club in terms of income, but it could also mean a higher payment Villas-Boas flew through the door output, with his pockets full of the inevitable pay-off will be their reward for failure.
his arrival, he was charged with rebuilding the club. However, it is difficult to see how he slept with young talent. Last week, the suspension of Ashley Cole presented the opportunity to play Ryan Bertrand on the left side, but took Jose Bosingwa, who is hard enough on the right side. He sent the promising Josh McEachran on loan at Swansea City, and insists on playing on the wing Daniel Sturridge, despite Fernando Torres in front of goal difficulty. Remained the center of the defense of England Gary Cahill on the bench despite the hilarity continues the procedure of David Luiz in the back.
addition to Manchester United game last week, it was a time when Chelsea played the opposition supposedly weaker: Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sunderland, Norwich City, Swansea City, then, after United, Everton. They won two convincing wins against these two have had a chance to shoot against the next two years, threw a three-goal lead against Manchester United, then lost to Everton. Not bode well for the close of the season in which theywill play Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool in a month and a half.
tuberculosis
3) Saha is a great signing
- Tottenham had their fair share of sicknotes over the years. In fact, they had the original and the best, Darren Anderton, an end very well unfortunately spent more time in the treatment room than in the field. Her captain, Ledley King, the knees are ball faster than Ricky Hatton on how to relax, but a rare talent which means it is capable of forming a judgment and still the best defender in the club. Louis Saha, who are finally home.

The Health Bill - Good or bad for northern England?
The North tutor
's political columnist Ed Jacobs presents a mini-debate with the participation of Minister of Health
Simon Burns
and Labour shadow
Andrew Gwynneused to say that the toughest job in British politics was the opposition leader - a role where you can talk and talk as if no tomorrow, but can not really make any thing. I would say that perhaps at this moment, the health secretary Andrew Lansley might feel the same sense of helplessness, as has been shaken by events beyond their control.
since taking the opinion of the health of the Conservatives in opposition in 2004, Lansley, alongside David Cameron, has a mission to detoxify the party's image in the NHS and restore public confidence in the management of one of, if not the institution, the most precious in the UK. In opposition was the mantra "NHYes" The consolidation of the Prime Minister's statement before the general elections that the health service would be of his party, the number one priority.fast forward two years, and ministers are now scratching their heads over what went wrong. After introducing a bill and social health, which requires the pause button to be pressed to meet the increasingly critical of health professionals about their potential impact, it is increasingly difficult to find someone willing to openly declare their support.
If only the shadow health secretary, Andy Burnham, the statement that the government faces the fight of his life on the bill, so I suspect, Andrew Lansley, a good sleep during night. But it is not. Its bigger than this, and the Department of Health knows.
After spending political capital to win the confidence of the creation of the NHS, the face of opposition or doubts about almost every major medical and health organizations, representing all nurses to doctors, psychiatrists guardians and patients to surgeons, shows that the government is in trouble. And this week to research published in theLancet
Health Journal seems to have contradicted Andrew Lansley said that productivity in the NHS had fallen under the work, while reports internal to the NHS have identified the risks that could raise the bill. Regarding the north of England, The Guardianthe political correspondent, Juliet JOWIT this week wrote:
According to the report for the North of England, a risk score of 15 or more are considered "important" and coded in red, 8 to 12 are considered of "high" risk or orange. In northern England, responsible for preventing the risk of reaching "productivity gains at the expense of quality", defined as "the safety, clinical efficacy and patient experience, "rates of 12 - a possible event with a major impact - even after mitigation measures are taken now elected.
The same report also indicates a high risk of "instability and organizational system" claims management and governance, and the uncertainty caused by changes that could reduce the capacity and capability personnel and organizations.
unskilled problems - still considered a high risk - covering a wide range, again, after the existing roof, including a "loss of control over the current performance" that "security is compromised by the absence of clear accountability, low morale and loss of consciousness "that the benefits of reforms are not achieved, and there is a loss of public confidence in the NHS.
- difficult times for the Ministry of Health, but none of them compared to headache in the end politics now. First, a growing sense of unease on both sides of the ruling coalition of things have been treated with the Deputy Leader Liberal Democrat Simon Hughes, it is very clear on the weekend that his conviction should Lansley be once the reforms were adopted. And even more damaging revelations in the website of the influence of the basic Conservative Home
A recent YouGov poll for the
Sunday Times showed that when we draw on Scotland, which will not be affected by changes , north of England is the region most skeptical when it comes to debate the bill on health. Only 19% of respondents in the region have expressed their support for the proposals compared with 58% who oppose it openly. 53% said that increased competition in NHS services could lead to worse, while 55% called for reforms to be totally abandoned. Indeed, despite the Force supports the idea of ??setting GP, 49% of survey respondents in the north of England, estimates that give physicians more control over how money is spent on service health worsened.

Education: let's celebrate both academic and vocational learning | the big issue
We encourage both hands and mind in education
For too long (in the shadow of Plato), our education system is based on the distinction between "gold" (ie university) students, "money" (c . to technical) and bronze (ie the rest). In an Olympic year, where, in a sporting context, such distinctions may be important, we should, as pointed out last week writing, giving the Platonic self-fulfilling discrimination and to promote a new standard education / training that encourages and celebrates love with both hands and minds on learning by doing ("We must educate, not only in school, young people").

"self-confidence, adaptability, resilience, determination. These skills are golden," you say, their leader. Or perhaps - but the skills? Things are really that can be trained, like changing a tire or make joint development of writing? Are not the qualities of character, rather, and almost the opposite of competence, to un-trainable? You can try to instill those qualities, but which is so different to train a skill like chalk mining cheese. All the sub-skills that are the jurisdiction can not be on the list, or the order they should be taught. Even if the inculcation seems to work, in this case or that, you have no idea why or how, reliably, to get to do again.
And even if these things were skills, teach them why the goal of schools and universities (unlike, for example, Sandhurst and the Army Cadet Force)? It is so easy (or difficult) to be determined in a bad cause well. Which showed more determination than Hitler? Mao or Pol Pot, perhaps. These qualities can help organizations or savings to survive and prosper, but not the skills and the inculcation of them is not an aim of education.

Towns where 1 in 4 young people are 'Neets'
Doncaster, Grimsby and Warrington named in the first study to map clusters under 25 who are not in work, education or training
Nearly a quarter of 16 to 24 years are not in work, education or training (NEET) in some English cities -. And it is likely to increase in coming years
in Grimsby, Doncaster and Warrington, nearly one in four children under 25 are NEET, according to a joint report by the Work Foundation, a think tank job market, and private charity Equity Foundation.
aa
- The study is the first to map the towns and cities in England, Scotland and Wales, where the NEET groups under 25 are located. The researchers focused on 53 villages and towns. They found that the black spots tend to be NEET in the North of England, in areas with a history of industrial decline is largely dependent on public sector employment. In addition to Birmingham, these towns were on the outskirts of large cities, has had relatively unskilled and citizens have worked to attract private sector companies.
- academic has warned that in some areas, it became a "sense of no future" and that reductions in the coalition were "useless sacrifice" youth. Although in Grimsby, Doncaster and Warrington, one in four children under 25 are NEET, northeast of London, are fifth. In Blackpool, Rochdale, Oldham, Wirral and Ellesmere Port, nearly a fifth of the 16 - to 24 years can be classified as NEET. The same is true in Birmingham, Newcastle, Barnsley, Swansea and parts of east London. However, at Oxford, Aberdeen, Cambridge and Plymouth, fewer than one in 10 are in school and unemployed.
