"Kevin Gallagher has never been a coach or a manager and I know Jack is not," said Kean. "His comments are not helpful. It would be better if Jack could follow the narrow roads so that we can all camp. " 
Rowan Williams said that despite the "horrific" scenes during the riots of the summer, when it shows the love and support that young people can "grow"
Archbishop of Canterbury used his New Year message to ask the public not to give the younger generation, despite the "horrific" scenes during the riots of the summer.
Rowan Williams, described the violence as "angry" and "lawless" but said that when it shows the support and love, young people can "prosper."
describe the riots that swept the country, said: "It is very likely the images is not unlike the images of the riots of the summer is out of control youth on the streets They took the stolen stores, loudly against the police and so on.
"Everything flows into the national habit of being suspicious and hostile when we see groups of young people on street corners or outside shops and bus stops.
"We walked a little faster and I hope we can do without some kind of confrontation.
"The summer events were certainly horrific They showed us a side of our society we like to think -.. angry, destructive outlaw, "
"When you see the gifts they can offer, the energy can be released when they feel safe and loved, to see what a tragedy so often allow to happen," he said ."Look at the work of groups like the League of children or impressive network of Children's Society here in London, and see what can be done to awaken the energy and let it grow for good of all. "
The archbishop urged people to recognize that their actions could help to improve society as a whole.
wonders of the universe - the civilization of the frozen world and the revelations of the Norman conquest of Panorama
This was a good year for programs that inform, surprise and make you think, with the release of the HD and now 3D visual lift. Professor Brian Cox threw me in the beautiful series of BBC2, wonders of the universe, which applied the same techniques of celebration - amazing images, music in motion - that we associate with programs of Natural History, science. Cox is a beautiful star Mega-even now.
The rise of astronomy and astrophysics at the BBC is probably not possible without the backbone provided by Horizon, which launched a program authorized only two weeks after the Japanese tsunamilast March. This does not mean that the programs of natural history have been overshadowed. Frozen Planet is my first choice for 2011, despite the polar bears give birth in a zoo consecutive false. The biggest stars of this series were landscapes, glaciers terrifying roar of the stream of ice water, and the generation of huge icebergs cracking.
BBC2 series produced a pin, the Normans, narrated by Professor Robert Bartlett, and resistant to the new TV, I would like to see more. This outdoor built before 1066, and also fills a void for me, explaining how Scotland was able to work and maintain their own aristocracy and the royal family. Also greatly appreciate the National Geographic program, Anglo-Saxon treasure, gold medieval England, a treasure found in a field of Staffordshire.
Decision
BBC1to open the slot in the 22: 35 exceptional documentary that I deviated from the BBC program: one highlights the poor children by one of the producers of the most socially engaged independently in the United Kingdom UK, the true vision. The film follows the ruined lives of children, wise beyond their years, poverty and stressed fuel, unemployment, hunger, irregular arrival of advantages: a world of sailing is the norm
was an excellent year for Panorama, which burst into the primetime 21:00. I watched in horror shocked the undercover investigation into the abuses at Winterbourne View, a Bristol care home for vulnerable adults, which led to his early release in June, and a national debate. He also points out (I could barely see) was Killing Fields of Sri Lanka - a study by Jon Snow on extrajudicial executions and the long war against the Tamils ??ended
I tried not to miss the black world eclectic, who returned to Ivory Coast after months of civil war, and reminded us of the plight of Aborigines. And finally, I loved live births in Cumbria, especially when the winds kept interrupting the transmission! Tell us what attracted you in the comments.

VivGroskop: The Secret Life of Bob Monkhouse
probably one of the most powerful biographies of history, no matter if you are interested in acting and / or Monkhouse himself. The detail was looked after and fascinating. I am still haunted by images of his foray into the movement, but semi-disastrous "serious act". Books and their crazy ...

stabbed an elderly woman was killed on the first island in 56 years. Now residents fear that the killer lived among them
Islanders entering the church to hear a tribute to his neighbor brutally murdered waiting to hear kind words resounding priest in robes of purple. But the father of Peppino Mirabito was a warning.
"I hope that the murderer gave the law as soon as possible," said the priest at the altar flanked by the police chief and the mayor. "All we have to close ranks with the police."
before him, next to a crib decorated with local oranges, put the coffin with flowers Biviano Eufemia, wife of 62 years, who was stabbed to death on Christmas Eve - The murder victim first time in the idyllic island of Lipari in the Mediterranean 56 years.
outside the church full, some hundreds of people in shock that he had been unable to find a space inside turned to look through dresses Lipari bougainvillea track that fall on the black sand beaches and clear waters that attract thousands of tourists every year. Some noted the White House Biviano is a track on an embankment near the church. Always wash swing in line behind the scene of the crime police tape.
described as a species, the female private, not enemies, Biviano worked for years as a cleaner place to save money for the renovation of the house and garage, which had enough space for your Fiat 500. Police found there late on Christmas Eve, the car behind the neck pierced by a knife.
"This is one happy island, and the murder feels like the end of the world for us," said Mayor Mariano Bruno. "Here, people leave their keys in the ignition and the doors open."
But that changed, according to Biviano neighbor, Mary Corrieri. "We closed the doors and I have not slept since his death," he said.
last murder of the island was in 1955 when a woman was murdered and thrown into a well. Since then, the natural beauty of Lipari helped become a resort for the rich, the Italians, like their ancestors came here to Imperial Roman Baths.
Part of the chaineight Aeolian Islands north coast of Sicily, Lipari is known to neighbors as Stromboli and Vulcano geologically unstable, where the surf is heated sulfur bubbles appear between the stones.

Il Postino
was filmed in the Aeolians, the islands became a summer retreat for the organization of major Russian oligarchs and yachts designers such as Giorgio Armani, Domenico Dolce and Gabbana Steffano, leaving in the way of Capri to Sardinia.
singles without children, was seen the morning shopping at the port of Biviano Christmas Eve, before she goes to her village of Quattropani the other side of the island. As the time approached, the family say she declined the invitation to spend Christmas with them in Salina, the neighboring island, I could see from home.
Sallyanne Jones is a social worker specializing in child protection. Where is the neglect, abuse or cruelty, it may have to split up families. Now she has a baby of their own, making the approach work differently?
Sallyanne Jones is cradling her seven month old baby on her lap, smiling at her face. But how would you feel if you were to give your child this evening, knowing he would never see at least 18 years, maybe ever?
is a question that is often attached to a new mother, but Sallyanne not know why I ask. She spent the last 13 years as a social worker, many of whom specialize in child protection. She has been involved in hundreds of cases where children were removed from their parents - and where it led to its eventual adoption, they lost the right to see his son until the child reaches the age adult, and then only if agreed to make contact. So yes, it is a relevant question.
She winces and holds his daughter a little harder. "I can not really imagine," he said. "I do not even try."
Sallyanne is at the center of a fly on the wall new documentary on the protection of children in the first round upset, she is shown working with a young couple, Mike and Tiffany, which are clearly taken with the effort of trying to take care of their three year old son. She and her team are trying to support the family, but when Tiffany becomes pregnant with another child, the writing is on the wall.
First, the child is in foster care and the new baby, a girl, is taken directly from the hospital to another host family. Later, when she left Mike, that social workers consider the greatest threat to their children, Tiffany took the momentous decision at hand and striking both children for adoption. "There will be a day when I will not think about them, but they will have a happier life where they go," he said through tears.
As a spectator, I can not help but think that this is a terrible indictment of our system of social care, and Tiffany's mother, who loves his children very much , you can not support the care itself. But Sallyanne said about Tiffany's decision as courageous. She is so rude to say, but I feel he has seen many over-emotional, wool liberals like me who think removing children from their mother is almost always a tragedy.
The truth is, he says, it's always ugly - but when you saw what he saw and knows the difficulties that many children suffer, you know that sometimes the adoption , though forced, it is the right path to follow. As for my protest Tiffany loves her children, Sallyanne has news for me: all parents, even those who abuse and neglect their children, loves his children. "In 13 years in this business, I have only once encountered a case where the parents did not really seem to love their children," she said.
"Thus, even in the most desperate cases, no love. It is not enough. Just not enough. I have to do is to analyze the life of the family and work to determine whether. the child's needs met through a series of requirements are the basic needs of the child do? - Do you have a bed that feeds you go to school than be served and their parents emotionally involved with him and interact with him? put their needs before yours? "
Sallyanne has just initiated a proceeding in court when she was convinced that the removal of the child was the right thing to do and now she has her own child away to regret one of actions you have taken, who thinks that children need more protection than could have been done in the past. "Removing a child is terrible, and all the time to do this job you never get used to it. On one occasion I had to peel the hands of a mother of four, and it's not something that has never forgotten or do not want to repeat.
"But even the terrible incidents are not the worst of my work. The worst is when you know a child is at risk, but you can not do something. For example, occasions when a judge will not accept your request to remove children from their parents, and think you should go home, what will happen tonight, baby It's very hard not gender work that can be disconnected -?. your concerns with you at home "
"Who wants to be locked in a room with 30 people dressed like them to be surprised by a bell every 35 minutes in line at noon for 40 minutes and had to be left out in the cold twice a day? Jenn Ashworth, certainly not ...
We watched the family fortune. I was 11 to 1 baby late flowering in August, more like a child of nine years. One Sunday evening: the end of my first week at school. It was dark, my father liked to have the lights and only one large table lamps lined both, or because the darkness makes it easy to watch TV or because he wanted to save money on energy bills. Remember, no doubt, lying on the couch under a blanket of red plaid felt the car and the dog, and a few minutes before my mother noticed she was crying.
He asked what was wrong. I gave the simplest answer I could think of: I do not want to go to school. What should he say? Backpack that was right? The other girls were different types of socks? My hair would not stay in the clips? These things came later, while looking for a reason that could accept, but the truth is that it started with the feeling that they are still struggling to put into words. I hated that.
could not get used to the bell - noise damage the eyes and filled my mouth with a metallic taste. There are so many people walking in the corridors, all wearing the same clothes that I could not tell anyone, but I was convinced that among them I would lose, disappear or die. Blues Sunday school night are not unusual. What is strange is that I then refused to go. I stayed in bed and refused to get dressed. I ran from the house in the morning and not return until the bus was gone. I pretended to headaches, stomach virus, pain and phantom pain. I cried and epic tantrums lasted several hours. Threaten to kill me and I refuse to eat for several days.
This went on for years.
I am not the first nor the last to do so. There's even a name for it: the school refusal. Which distinguish it from regular school absenteeism, as there is no attempt to deceive - I never intended to take the bus. We normally disobedient in school academically brilliant or, if not brilliant, less willing. It was me. When the school, knowing that if he was wrong in the spirit in the body, sent to work for me to do at home, I sat in my room, and complete the organization of my books in a bag that never left the house. When I go out (which was rare), I take refuge in the library. Disobedient at school apparently depressed. They are anxious. It's a phobia, of a species.
If they wanted to put aside my negative as the product of an anxious personality, there was plenty of evidence. In the previous year, the last of the primary school, who had refused to join a group in order to intimidate a young girl who had fallen from his bike and broken ends of your two front teeth. The compliments I received from my position was addictive, but when it did not happen over time in a couple of weeks, he began to look more like what it was stubbornness. I sat on my own for a year and my hair fell out in groups. Even when the band broke up and was invited to return to normal social movement, I refused.
My mother told welfare officials that education history, and together they turned to him and told me that my hair fell out because I was afraid to go to the school and it turned out that he was anticipating change of fear.
Or maybe the cause was a postviral depression: one who is 10, had a severe case of chickenpox, so serious that he had been hospitalized for several days. Maybe I was never good for? For adults who work with me, this explanation sufficient will, so that all interventions and "treatment" in the next three years and half were dealing with an anxiety disorder or phobia. It was suggested that just go to school at night, and build more than a few months to a full week. They tried the cognitive-behavioral therapy to correct the flawed thinking that caused the concern that I said that I felt. It makes little sense for them.
But that's not what I felt.
is true, however, that less than 12 I was prescribed an antidepressant and then had a series of sessions with a child psychologist. I remember almost nothing, except he was wearing a brown leather skirt and told me that his goal was not for me to go to school. I'm not sure I believed her.
told them I would not take antidepressants, and I did it because I was told that it would help me sleep better. I pretended to sleep on the couch and I heard my parents talk about me. Do not take more tablets after. I did not sleep, not because I was depressed, but because they did nothing for me outside of tires. My mother advised him not to punish me for refusing school, but not to do at home one day treatment attractive, either. So I stayed and read.
therefore not depressed afterwards. But alas, no doubt. And catastrophically. I cried every day and months until they reach 16. I thought that too often, suicide as a solution better than what you expect miserable. My mother told me that the worst of the pain came in the second and third year of my refusal, and that's how I remember. It was all the preservatives education, endless meetings, the counselors, the constant pressure to do something that had already made my decision not to pressure to explain that my explanation was not, never, be acceptable to them, meeting in the deep unhappiness and real estate. They kept asking why and all they could say, like a broken record, that I did not. I knew, without being able to say that this place was bad for me. I refused. But I prefer to think of it, all this, or fall. I refused what was offered. I realize I'm not painting a picture of myself attractive. I'm sure it was difficult, so difficult to love, in those years, but it was as if life and death for me.
Local education authorities tore his hands and finally sent me home Mélèzes, a student referral unit that specializes in children with behavior problems may be excluded. I was 13. There was a child with epilepsy or medications for him, it unpredictable and aggressive. A girl who cut her hair with kitchen scissors, because she thought her mother was not sent to school if he looked like he had been scalped.
was no change. They were nice. They asked me what I wanted to read. They let me write stories. I was happy there. I had a friend in April that was like me - intelligent, quiet and no problems as long as it made its own way. We walked through the gardens and decided to invent a new language. I remember my mother commenting on how bright and happy I looked, how I had not seen him smile, with my hair in place for months and months. But my position has not been terminated because he refused to go forward when it became clear that I could participate in a single period, and the objective was to provide students like me, his phobias and return in mainstream schools. I refused.
At 14 there was another unit for children with behavioral problems who had been excluded. Now, I realize that I had no idea what to do with me. Classes are held in a warehouse on the drab wardrobe with a bit of sport management of the Council. There were rickety tables, mats for gymnastics and hockey nets stacked against the walls, and two tutors who had carried us through the English and mathematics for three hours every morning. I remember Julie, who dressed as a boy was happy when he was mistaken for one and always wore a hat because he had severe alopecia. And Emma, ??who was eating the rest of us on the playground, smoking furiously, to tell us about the joy she had sex with her uncle. Tutors told us not to pay attention - I was kicked out of school to tell stories in height
a few months ago, I went back and took a tour Alerces rooms that were familiar, looked at the garden in the rain. The director spoke passionately of the child-centered education, literacy, to make a difference. Phobic and disobedient, not to accumulate more playful with children, he said, meaning that if I were 11 again and start my antics now, do not send me Alerces. Medical education services that lead me on. Maybe being sick is better than being bad, but what if it is not? When I expressed this to the staff of the House Mélèzes, I did not make sense for them. "Children often refuse as a form of revenge on their parents," one teacher said, "as a way to return them for a divorce, or put too much academic pressure on them." I'm sure it's sometimes true.
Our brains can be programmed to look at the bright side, says neuroscientist Tali Sharot in this excerpt from his new book
We like to think of ourselves as rational beings. We see behind us, the balance of probabilities, an umbrella. However, both the neurosciences and social sciences suggest that they are more optimistic than realistic. On average, we hope that things go better than we find ourselves. People underestimate their chances of divorce, losing your job or being diagnosed with cancer, hope that their children are gifted, imagine achieving more than their peers, and likely to overestimate their lives (sometimes 20 years or more)
The belief that the future will be much better than the past and present are known as optimism bias. It is in every state race, region and socioeconomic backgrounds. The school plays when I-Grow-Up are optimistic endemic, but also adults. A 2005 study found that adults over 60 have the same chance to see the glass half full as young adults
overly positive assumptions can lead to disastrous miscalculations - we make it less likely that health checks, sunscreen or open a savings account, and more likely to bet the farm on a bad investment. However, the bias also protects and inspires us, moves us forward instead of the nearest high ledge. Without optimism, our ancestors may never ventured far from their tribes and we can all be inhabitants of the cave, always crowded and dreams of light and heat.
To move forward, we must be able to imagine alternative realities - the best - and we believe we can achieve. That faith helps us to motivate us to achieve our goals. Optimists tend to work longer hours and tend to earn more. Economists at Duke University found that optimistic, even greater savings. And although it is less likely to divorce, are more likely to remarry -. An act which is, as Samuel Johnson wrote, the triumph of hope over experience
In fact, a growing number of scientific evidence points to the conclusion that optimism can be programmed by the evolution of the human brain. The science of optimism, once scorned as a province intellectually suspect PEP rallies and smiling faces, opens a new window on the functioning of human consciousness. This shows could stimulate a revolution in psychology, as the country faces increasing evidence that our brains are not sealed in the past. They are constantly shaped by the future.
Wiringto expect?
say that I would have liked my work on optimism stems from an interest in the positive side of human nature. The reality is that I found a brain injury innate optimism. After spending 9 / 11, in the city of New York, I began to study the collective memory of the terrorist attacks. I was intrigued by the fact that people feel that their memories were as accurate as a video, while often were full of errors. A survey conducted nationwide showed that 11 months after the attacks, the memories of individuals about their experiences of that day are consistent with the initial accounts (due in September 2011) that 63% of the time. They were also poor in remembering details of the event, such as the names of the airlines. Where these errors come from memory?
Scientists who study memoryproposed meet fascinating memories are susceptible to errors, partly because the neural system responsible for remembering our past, episodes could not have evolved from memory only. However, the main function of system memory may be made to imagine the future - let us prepare for what is yet to come. The system is not designed to perfectly reproduce past events, the researchers said. It is designed to build future scenarios for the flexibility in our minds. As a result, the memory also ends up being a rebuilding process, and sometimes the details are deleted and inserted another.
To test this, I decided to record brain activity of volunteers as they imagine future events - not on the scale of the events of 9 / 11, but events in their lives everyday - and compare these results with the model I noticed that the same individuals, recalled past events. But something unexpected happened. Once people began to imagine the future, even the most ordinary events of life seem to take a dramatic turn for the better. Mundane scenes lit with data optimism, as if by a Hollywood script brilliant doctor. You might think that the hairdresser imagine the future would be boring. Not at all. This is what one of my participants to photography: "I was getting my hair cut to donate to Locks of Love [a charity that fashion wigs for young cancer patients] that m ' had taken years to develop, and my friends were there. to help celebrate. We went to my favorite hair house in Brooklyn and then went to eat at our favorite restaurant. "
asked other participants to imagine a plane trip. "I thought off - my favorite - and take a nap after eight hours in the middle and finally landing in Krakow and applaud the pilot for the provision of safe travel," she said. No bitumen delays, no babies crying. The world, only one or two years in the future, is a wonderful place to live,
If all our participants stressed positive thinking when it comes to what was in store for them personally, what does this tell us about how our brains are wired? It is the human tendency to be optimistic due to the architecture of our brains?
Time Machineto think positively about our prospects, we must first be able to imagine in the future. Optimism begins with what may be the most extraordinary human talent, time travel, the ability to move forward and backward in time and space in mind. While most of us take for granted that ability, our ability to imagine a time and place is essential to our survival.
is easy to see why time travel has been naturally selected for the course of cognitive development. This allows us to plan ahead, to save food and resources for times of shortage and support the hard work in preparation for a future reward. It also allows us to predict how our current behaviors can affect future generations. If we were not able to imagine the world in a hundred years or more, be affected by global warming? Try to live a healthy life? Can you have children?
Any time travel, has obvious advantages for survival, humans are aware of pension arrived at a huge price - the understanding that somewhere in the future, death awaits. Ajit Varki, a biologist at the University of California, San Diego, said the awareness of mortality alone, the evolution has led to an impasse. Despair would interfere with our job every day, so that the activities necessary for survival to a stop. The only way to travel in the spirit of the times could have arisen conscious course of evolution is so revealed, with an irrational optimism. The knowledge of death had to go from side to side with the ability to persist in a bright future.
The ability to predict the future is based in part on the hippocampus, a brain structure crucial for memory. Patients with hippocampal sclerosis can not remember the past, but are unable to construct detailed images of future scenarios. They seem to be trapped in time. The rest of us are constantly moving back and forth in time, could think of a conversation we had with our spouse, then and immediately after dinner plans for tonight
But the brain does not travel through time at random. They tend to engage in certain types of thoughts. Consider how our children are in life, how can we do the work, pay the house on the hill and find the perfect love. We envision our team winning the deciding game, expect a great night on the town or a good image streak in blackjack table. We also worry about the loss of loved ones, if in our work or to die in a terrible plane crash - but research shows that most of us spend less time mulling over the negative results of what we do on the positive. When we contemplate the loss and pain, they tend to focus on how these can be avoided.
The results of a study I conducted a few years ago with outstanding neuroscientist Elizabeth Phelps, suggest that the direction of our thoughts on the future towards the positive results from our cortex communication with the frontal subcortical regions Deep in our brain. The frontal cortex, a large area behind the front, is the latest evolution of the brain. It is larger in humans than in other primates, and is essential for many functions such as human language complex and goal setting. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) recorded the brain activity of volunteers scanner while imagining specific events that could happen to them in the future. Some of these events were asked to imagine desirable (or a big date to win a large sum of money), and some reactions (loss of a portfolio, ending a relationship). The volunteers reported that their images sought after events were richer and more vivid than those of adverse events.
This coincided with the increase in activity was observed in two critical areas of the brain: the amygdala, a small structure deep in the brain that is essential for the processing of emotion and the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (RACC), an area of ??the frontal cortex, which modulates emotion and motivation. The RACC is a driver of traffic, improving the flow of positive emotions and associations. The more optimistic a person has been more activity in these regions was positive, while imagining future events (relative to negative) and the stronger connectivity between the two structures.
