Iron Phosphide is a semiconductor used in high power, high frequency applications and in laser diodes. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.
Iron (atomic symbol: Fe, atomic number: 26) is a Block D, Group 8, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 55.845. The number of electrons in each of Iron's shells is 2, 8, 14, 2 and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d6 4s2. The iron atom has a radius of 126 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 194 pm. Iron was discovered by humans before 5000 BC. In its elemental form, iron has a lustrous grayish metallic appearance. Iron is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust and the most common element by mass forming the earth as a whole. Iron is rarely found as a free element, since it tends to oxidize easily; it is usually found in minerals such as magnetite , hematite, goethite, limonite, or siderite. Though pure iron is typically soft, the addition of carbon creates the alloy known as steel, which is significantly stronger. For more information on iron, including properties, safety data, research, and American Elements' catalog of iron products, visit the Iron Information Center.
Phosphorus (atomic symbol: P, atomic number: 15) is a Block P, Group 15, Period 3 element. The number of electrons in each of Phosphorus's shells is 2, 8, 5 and its electronic configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p3. The phosphorus atom has a radius of 110.5.pm and its Van der Waals radius is 180.pm. Phosphorus is a highly-reactive non-metallic element (sometimes considered a metalloid) with two primary allotropes, white phosphorus and red phosphorus; its black flaky appearance is similar to graphitic carbon. Compound forms of phosphorus include phosphates and phosphides. Phosphorous was first recognized as an element by Hennig Brand in 1669; its name (phosphorus mirabilis, or "bearer of light") was inspired from the brilliant glow emitted by its distillation.

UB student affairs chief gets mention in NYT
Travis Nemmer, president of the University at Buffalo's Student Association, got a mention in a recent New York Times item about SA presidents, what they get as perks and the issues on which they're working. Read the article here. An article in the UB Spectrum about Nemmer's election can be found here (complete with a singularly awesome photo).
Nemmer told the Times he earns a $12,000 stipend, presumably annual, and plans to work on better financial safeguards "after two student officers almost lost $300,000 last year on a plan to develop a mobile app."

We went to the Collinwood store in search of a new mattress and couch. Lots to choose from....tons of styles and colors all there to see. Sales guy was very helpful but not overly pushy. The prices were super reasonable. We selected the bed and couch we wanted...paid and that was it. Overall...good shopping experience..no hassles or frustrations. Our stuff was delivered quickly. Would shop there again.
Worst place in the world. Very unpressional! The delivery sucks so bad! I waited two days for my furniture. It was the worst experience I ever had! And these little companies wonder why value city does so well!

SDOT NEGEV REGIONAL COUNCIL - A Kassam rocket fired by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip heavily damaged a factory in a community in the Sdot Negev Regional Council.
"The rocket landed right next to the packing house. The equipment near the packing house was damaged and the building itself sustained damage from shrapnel," a local resident said.
"A Color Red siren was sounded at around 4:00 a.m, followed by a rocket that landed inside the community, near the packing house," said Avi Aptelboim, head of the community's rescue squad.
"The packing house sustained heavy damage and it won't be operating today. There were no injuries, thank God," he said.
Following the early morning attack, residents gathered at the community's synagogue to thank God that no one was injured.
Last week, a long-range rocket fired from Gaza exploded near a kibbutz in the same region, with no resulting property damage or personal injuries.
Earlier the same day, Palestinians fired two mortar shells at the same area, again without injuring anyone or damaging any property.
On Monday, an IAF (Israel Air Force) aircraft opened fire on a terror operative who launched an anti-tank missile at IDF forces patrolling near the security fence. Direct hits were identified, the IDF Spokesperson's Office reported.

So some people might ask, why not AD runes? Well, her Burnout AD ratio is horrid and it's only good for her Twin Bite but I still think that building AD on her is worthless.
Some early game magic resist but more over per level magic resist for late game as you don't need early game magic resist since only champions do magic damage.
There are 3 item builds that are all situational, I will explain each item build why and when to use them, but first we'll have to go through basics.
Basically the standard start that everyone does. Warding totem is best for early game and once you get to mid game switch to sweeping lens.
Once you hit the Spirit of the Ancient Golem your clears become ridiculously fast, and your naturally given resistances so that mean's the health added to you will synergize real nice with your dragon form resistances, and since Shyvana has a lot of high damage output, she'll be a real threat if she sits on the enemy team as she can tank them and chip away at there health.
So right now mid game should look something like this, which will increase your team fight potential and will give your team a whole bunch of resists. You can just sit on the enemy team and do massive amounts of AoE damage while tanking all there hits. Your high damage output will show no mercy for the weak who try to penetrate your dragon skin.
NOTE: Do not get Locket of the Iron Solari if the enemy team is all AD, stay at Aegis of the Legion or build a Randuin's Omen first.
Also get Sweeping Lens as you are going to try to clear wards around objectives.
Now your 6 item build is complete, once you get randuin's omen you lessen the enemy ADC's DPS if he focuses you, and of course it gives a lot more HP!. We just get Warmog's Armor as there's no point in stacking more armor since they already have Last Whisper so we'll just try and beat there DPS off with more HP. Also now with Randuin's Omen you have an AoE slow around you, so now you do have some crowd control!
Skill Sequence
Max W, then E, and then Q.
I max WBurnout first because of the fast campclear
Then i max E Flame Breath because it is nice because of the extreme dmg u can deal with it and it have a long range so its easy to ensure kills with it too
And last i max Q Twin Bite the reason i don´t max this 2nd is because Flame Breath scales better and the cooldown on Flame Breth reduces w/ points in the ability
How to Effectively do Jungle Creeps
Level 1 : Burnout - auto attacks.
Level 2 : Burnout - auto attacks - Twin Bite
Level 3 : Flame Breath - Burnout - auto attack - Twin Bite
Early Game
I feel that Shyvana is one of the best junglers, who excels at clearing the jungle because of the high damage output and mobility from Burnout. With the increase % damage from Spirit Stone gives even faster clears.
Usually when I jungle Shyvana, I always have the mentality of farming hard and also going to where the enemy jungler might be, as Shyvana isn't the best ganker but damn once she goes in a fight where the enemy blew their gap closers / escapes, there's no turning back now for them and now its up to them to withstand the heavy farmed dragon. So I will have about 100 cs while the enemy may have a few kills and 50 CS. I only counter gank or gank very over extended lanes. I only gank rarely. I know that if I gank there's a slim chance I'll get a kill unless that I can already somehow get in melee range. Also, most of the time I'll want to have flash by my side, just so I can secure kills.
Always keep tabs on your blue buff/red buff and do them immediately or have some ward coverage so the enemy jungler doesn't steal it, he will steal your red buff (blue side) if you're ganking top and he notices you started there and it's 7:15 minutes. I may not counter jungle a whole lot but I do like to protect my own jungle.
Some Junglers out there will not keep tabs on their buff, and at 7:15 if you know he started blue on purple side and you see him ganking top, that's a free blue for you. Little notes like these will make you a better counter jungler and player.
Basically, a gank early game isn't easy to pull off. If you're already behind him, you just activate burnout and catch up to him, hit him with a Flame Breath and activating Burnout and do an auto attack + Twin Bite combo and just keep attacking him. The reason this is hard to do is because the only CC that Shyvana will bring early is red buff, a smart player will just either flash once you get in melee range of her when you're behind him or just CC you and walk away.
I don't like these ganks at all, I only like to gank when I hit level 6 as I have gained access to my gap closer and an extra nuke, with this kit I can actually deal damage and keep up with the enemy.
Once you get your ultimate, you basically start off a gank with Dragon's Descent unless of course already behind him, and activiting Burnout when your sort of in range of the enemy and the same Flame Breath + auto attack + Twin Bite combo and just keep hitting the enemy. If you are already behind him wait until he blows an escape and then Dragon's Descent.
A counter gank gives freedom for Shyvana to output her high damage onto the enemy longer and is easier since the enemy probably just blew all their **** on your ally.
Shyvana is a decent duelist, she has a double auto attack and a auto reset but the only thing is she'll need a red buff + burnout to chase down people and doesn't have a lockdown like most junglers.
Shyvana meets dragon, who wins the half dragon or the dragon? The half dragon.
Mid Game
Mid Game
Mid game you should have Spirit of the Ancient Golem and Aegis of the Legion, you shouldn't die instantly since you have bonus resists and you can easily get out of the frey with the bonus movement speed from Burnout.
Time for you to lead your team to push towers, maintain control over dragon/baron and win. So always have a Vision Ward on dragon. And if you feel real confident, do it on baron and try to secure it and estimate whether you should do baron or not (some of enemy team is around bot side, your grouped 5) etc.
Shyvana's pretty good at doing baron/dragon, as her Flame Breath gives 2% of maximum health on auto attacks (it actually caps at 100 max damage source: Riot Employee Source) So when you do a AA + Twin Bite combo it does 300 damage, it's still pretty good damage, add on to her dragon form which can tank a lot of damage coming from the baron / dragon.
This is where also the best team fights come alive, since everyone is around level 13 and multiple variables happen instead of late game where it's peel for carries.
Late Game
You should have a Randuin's Omen at this time as the enemy ADC should have a The Bloodthirster/ Infinity Edge + Phantom Dancer and will do tons of damage. Attack Speed reduction will cut a ADC's DPS massively, although once he gets that Last Whisper, he'll still be doing tons of damage. Just remember when you're chunked to disengage/retreat to an ally and let them switch focus off you, though this part is kind of easy with shyvana as she has a lot of movement speed in team fights with her Burnout.
If you get super super late game, I think that Shyvana is one of the best late game characters as not only is she tanky, but her kit allows her to build damage, so you can replace one of your items with a Ravenous Hydra or a Blade of the Ruined King, and also you can replace your boots with Zephyr. Since she doesn't bring a lot of crowd control, you should build some damages and be like a good anti carry. Also late game damage > tank since armor penetration and life steal and what not.
When To Take Dragon
Bot Lane is dead/back. Reason: When doing dragon, it would be a 4v2 if they try to contest it.
You see bot lane recall and your mid and bot lane help do dragon.
Mid laner down. Reason: Mid is basically worth 1.5x of an ADC early game, because of the level advantage.
So you have a clear advantage at dragon.
You feel confident on doing it. You feel that the enemy team won't contest, feeling more powerful, etc.
Can solo it with
Can dragon form over the wall on blue side and kill dragon if you know the dragon isn't warded but around it is.
Vision warded, can solo or ask for some help.
Shyvana can tank the dragon easily with the free armor and do a lot of damage with her triple flame breath proc combo on it, and is easily do-able with 3-4 members.

April 2, 2009 · Christian LemonMaite Cortin set a Middle Tennessee record of 162-7 in the hammer throw at last year's Tiger Track Classic (Athletic Communications)
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - The Middle Tennessee track and field teams will travel to Auburn, Ala. for the Tiger Track Classic hosted by Auburn University.
The Tiger Track Classic will feature a strong cast of athletes from some of the best teams in the country. Three men's teams including Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina and three women's teams including host Auburn, Minnesota and South Carolina will all be represented and enter with top 25 rankings. Sun Belt rivals Louisiana-Lafayette and Troy will also be present.
The meet will be the third outdoor meet of the season. Unfortunately, last weekend's meet at Georgia Tech was cancelled because of rain.
Coach Dean Hayes' team will compete in a full slate of individual track events, field events and the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays.
Tiger Track Classic Heat Sheets
Middle Tennessee has competed at the Tiger Track Classic the last two years having great success including two school records set at last year's meet. Zamzam Sangau's time of 10:07.40 in the 3000 meters broke a 16 year old outdoor record of 10:21.74 set by Sharon Smith. Sangau placed third overall.
Then junior Maite Cortin's toss of 162-7 in the hammer throw also set a Middle Tennessee record. Cortin finished seventh overall.
Full meet results and coverage will be available on auburntigers.com and goblueraiders.com.

In the final part of our review of the past year here on the Heritage Journal, we look at some of the stories we covered from September through to December this year.
We continued our 'Fascinating Facts' series throughout the month, looking at dog kennels, four-posters, the folklore of the Stanton Drew area and asked "what is a henge?" One of our members also wrote about the Modern Megaliths of North Wales, following his recent trip there.
The plight of Oswestry was further discussed as we asked, "why build there?", and published a guest blog from a local campaigner. Further south, Stonehenge continued to be in the news as the building of the Visitor Centre gathered pace toward the December opening.
In Heritage Crime news, we started another short series of 'Embarrassing Inconsistencies' and highlighted a statement from Rescue about the ongoing cuts in service.
Our campaign against unethical metal-detecting continued unabated, despite all attempts to discredit us.
Much the same stories continued throughout October. On the planning front, Owen Patterson displayed a remarkable amount of 'front', by suggesting a kind of 'Heritage Offset' scheme for builders and planners. This prompted a guest article from another of our readers. Even the Chairman of the National Trust got into the act! And this in a month when hundreds of ancient sites were rediscovered, thanks to LIDAR. Of course, we couldn't mention planning without returning to the Oswestry Hillfort story once again.
The Stonehenge plans moved forward, and we gave some first impressions, reported on the closure of the A344 and reminded people what might have been.
In terms of Community involvement, statistics showed the true impact of the budget cuts, and we commented on English Heritage's volunteer recruitment plans and the HLF award to the CBA for Community Archaeology Training Placements.
meanwhile, on one of our regular trips to Cornwall, we reported on three 'on the ground' projects there. Firstly, the work being done to reinstate a fallen monument at Carwynnen, then attempts by volunteers to clear up a lesser known site, the Mulfra Courtyard Houses. Finally, we drew attention to some serious neglect issues at the Men an Tol and nearby sites, which are being tracked in detail by the Save Penwith Moors group.
With the (food) harvest safely gathered, it was time for another harvest to begin in earnest, with metal detectorists out in force. We pointed out another 'Embarrassing Inconsistency', showed that our own Artefact Erosion Counter is wrong, and pointed out why we think artefact hunting is so wrong.
The month started off with our most read post ever. Indeed, on the day it was briefly the most read WordPress.com posting in Britain, which apparently upset one of our webmaster colleagues. We can't think why!
Over in Wales, we returned again to the Mynydd y Betws story, and whilst a lot of media fuss was made of a new Archwilio Android App, we pointed out some deficiencies which should really have been addressed before its release.
In Planning news, we continued asking questions about the situation at Oswestry, and there were questions about Stonehenge too.
We also attended a very good Community Archaeology Open Day in Cambridgeshire, and celebrated Dr William Stukeley's birthday.
And so to December. The Oswestry planning issue was still looming large so a local author took to our pages with an important question to start the month, and our own Sue Brooke gave an indication of what the future may hold for Oswestry. We could only await the outcome with bated breath.
With English Heritage's fate seemingly sealed by a new funding deal, we tried to summarise and interpret what those closest to the deal were saying.
The Stonehenge opening went well by all accounts, though the impending 'advance booking' requirements drew some adverse comments. We were concerned for some regular inhabitants of the stones, and also about the ongoing suggestion that EH want to continue to press for a tunnel.
An archaeological 'blogging carnival' started in November, and we published our responses to the first two questions. More to come, maybe?
Celebrating the birthday of Sir Richard Colt-Hoare, we moved into the festive period, and in a first for us, published a short Christmas Eve Quiz (answers to come very shortly, stay tuned!)
In an attempt to look forward rather than back as the year draws to it's final end, as far as metal detecting is concerned, there appears to be a faint chink of light in the far distance. What will the future bring I wonder, for those of us with an interest in, and concern for, the distant past?
That's it for another year. We hope you've enjoyed reading the variety of news that we've covered during the year, and that you'll stick with us for another year of news and views on heritage matters. If there's a particular subject you'd like to see covered, or if you'd like to contribute to the Heritage Journal in any way, please feel free to get in touch with us – the link is there on the menu bar. We look forward to hearing from you.
If you're out celebrating tonight, enjoy yourself but stay safe: don't drink and drive!
We continue our look at the past year here on the Heritage Journal, highlighting some of the stories we've covered.
We started the month examining the looming crisis of storage of archaeological finds, and some of the less pleasant aspects of being a Finds Liaison Officer. On a lighter note, we exposed some of the absurd and sometimes hilarious spam comments we've received on the site.
The Caerau story finally concluded but Mynydd y Betws was still in the news.
We hit the road this month and took drives around the Home Counties and looked at some Wessex Hillforts, the latter inspired by our earlier 'Guess the Hillfort' competition. We also suggested 5 Ideas for School Trips.
Midsummer and the Solstice featured strongly this month, with Stonehenge stories and Postcards appropriately to the fore.
A visit to the British Museum left us with feelings of disquiet, and we also discussed some of the technological issues surrounding 'Preservation by Record'.
This month we said goodbye to two long-standing institutions, Professor Mick Aston, and the A344 at Stonehenge.
In travels, we highlighted another blogger's trip to Orkney, and looked back at one of our member's early memories of visiting his local sites.
This month was a cause for some celebration here at the Heritage Journal, as it was our 10th birthday, and as (mostly) unqualified amateurs, we gave a consumer's view of the value of public engagement. Some aspects of that engagement were highlighted through the month: An opportunity to take part in a geofizz survey in Hertfordshire, visit a dig at Avebury, and to provide feedback to English Heritage about some experimental archaeology at Sarum.
We took a look at the Vale of Worship in Glamorganshire, and had an update from the Caerau project.
In Ireland, we heard of damage to a ring fort, and the failure of the commercial archaeology model over there. Elsewhere, we once again implored people not to climb on Silbury Hill and pointed out a Russian initiative to increase fines for heritage damage.
We started the month looking at the relative punishments for heritage crime, and the reasons for them, before reviewing a couple of particular aspects of the new Planning Guidance for Renewable Energy.
And talking of planning guidance, the possible plight of Oswestry hillfort was brought to our attention this month.
Our stance regarding Ethical Detecting once again drew a storm of abuse, all of which confirms our belief that Ethical Detecting is a good idea!
Out and about, we revisited Mynydd y Betws once more, and paid visits to the Norton Henge dig and to the site of the Staffordshire Hoard. Our new occasional series of 'Fascinating Facts' also began this month, with a look at Zennor Quoit.
To be concluded tomorrow, in Part 3.
In attempting to establish something of a December tradition here on the Heritage Journal, we once again take a look back at the past year. Once again, the year has had it's ebbs and flows in what has been a very bad year generally for the heritage sector, with budget cuts very much the order of the day, and seemingly still ongoing.
So what did we highlight, month by month?
It wouldn't be a new year without resolutions, so we listed some of ours which others may have liked to follow. But we began the year by discussing two prominent threats to buried archaeology: deep-seeking detectors (a theme we were to return to throughout the year) and bracken control.
A holiday in Cornwall allowed us to catch up with goings on down there, with updates on an archaeology experiment, and the need for education. We also started a series which was to continue throughout the year, of 'Postcards from a World Heritage Site', focussing on stories from Stonehenge and Avebury.
January also saw the start of another regular feature, Diary Dates, which started on a geographic basis but soon morphed into a monthly feature highlighting events and exhibitions around the country.
Our popular 'Inside the Mind' features continued sporadically throughout the year, but an attempt at a similar series showing the work of the Portable Antiquities Scheme Finds Liaison Officers sadly came to naught.
We began celebrating the birthdays of various antiquarians throughout the year, starting with William Borlase. We also gave a (very brief) history of archaeology in Britain, and a guest post showed how one county is tackling the regular inspection of its ancient monuments.
The damage caused by metal detectorists is never far from our thoughts, and a TV series glorifying finds was particularly upsetting. Another guest post showed the desecration of a wedge tomb in Ireland being used as an outhouse!
Meanwhile in Wales, the ongoing story of the archaeological issues at the Mynydd y Betws windfarm continued. And we began a look at the Caerau hillfort, subject of a Time Team program, from the viewpoint of one of our newer members, Sue Brooke.
Many of the stories above continued throughout March, with bracken control, Caerau hillfort and Mynydd y Betws all receiving ongoing updates. Referring to the situation at Mynydd y Betws, we reflected on similar monumental settings on Dartmoor and showed that the battle for preservation of 'setting' is far from over.
We took exception to a statement in an article in the respected Post Hole student journal, and our Artefact Counter appeared to be backed up by the CBA.
On a brighter note, we covered the events at the Current Archaeology Live conference, held in London. An enjoyable event which we'll be returning to in 2014.
Who says we don't have an effect, no matter how small? April started by pointing out an outrageous rule on a metal detecting club's website, a rule that was suddenly changed (for the better) the very next day!
The Caerau story continued through the month, as did the examination of the Dyfed Archaeological Trust's response on Mynydd y Betws.
There were four more WHS Postcards through the month, and another visit to Cornwall to see several old and much loved friends.
We finished off the month with a peek 'Inside the Mind' of Sue Greaney, of English Heritage.
Plus of course, all our usual news, views and diary dates were included!
To be continued in Part 2, tomorrow…
And so we come to the last part of our review of the Current Archaeology Live conference, held earlier this month in London's Senate House.
The after-lunch session is usually regarded as a bit of a 'graveyard shift' (a wrong choice of words possibly, given the subject matter of many of this year's talks), but everyone was attentive on return from lunch on the second day for what was possibly the most keenly anticipated talk by many of the whole conference.
Session 7. From Medieval to Early Modern
Richard Buckley, fresh from having been presented the award for Research Project of the Year the previous evening, took a spellbound audience through "Leicester's Greyfriars and the Search for Richard III", a subject that by now doubtless needs little introduction or review, having been the subject of several TV and radio programs, and multitudinous magazine and web articles. Richard's now famous quote at the start of the dig, "I'll eat my hat if we find Richard III" symbolised the fact that the actual hope of finding him was a very long shot. The initial appeal of the opportunity to dig at Greyfriars was the chance to survey the lost friary. To set context, Richard gave a timeline of Richard III's movements, leading up to the Battle of Bosworth and discussed the sources of detail about his grisly end. Looking at maps of the Greyfriars area, only 14% of the site was undeveloped and potentially available for excavation, and two overlapping trenches were decided upon. Bones were uncovered within the first 5m of trench 1, but covered over again until the location and orientation of the church could be identified. A third trench identified the choir, and the bones were further investigated. Curvature of the spine was a strong clue, and RC14 dating was close to the required date. Skeletal details showed a slight build, of immediately indeterminate gender, but wounds (fatal and non-fatal) which matched the historical sources. Due process was followed, and DNA matching with two identified descendants took identification to 'beyond reasonable doubt' level. Cue hat-eating activities!
You had to feel a little sorry for Heather Knight, up next to tell us about the Curtain Playhouse in London, having to follow such a stunning tale. But she started by comparing today's Shoreditch, a hotbed of art and creativity, with the same area in Shakespeare's time. All performance was banned in the City of London in the 16th century, and as ever, space was at a premium within the walls hence the theatres on the outskirts: "the original 'fringe theatres'". Heather gave some background to the style of Elizabethan theatres and their construction and usage. It's possible that the Curtain, sister/overflow venue for the nearby The Theatre, saw the first performance of Shakespeare's Henry V in 1599 – the "wooden 'O'" mentioned in the Prologue. Whilst the rough location of the Curtain was known – even today the road is called Curtain Road – all physical traces were thought to have vanished. But when the area was marked for development, the archaeologists moved in. The first discovery was 19C cobbles – a good sign as this meant no 19C basements! They then found asymmetric load bearing walls, indicating a round building some 22m across – typical Playhouse style. Also uncovered within the narrow trench was a floor made of sheep bones. Apparently common and hard-wearing. Much of the archaeology is 2.5m below current ground level, so it is hoped more is preserved in situ below the Horse and Groom pub for future archaeologists to investigate further.
To close off this session, Pieta Greaves told us a little about her role as a Conservator on the Staffordshire Hoard, with some stunning closeup photographs of the intricate designs. Sadly, as the hoard was discovered by a Metal Detectorist, there were absolutely no clues as to it's context, just some 205 bags of gold, silver and glass pieces. Many of the pieces were so brittle that thorns were used to clean them, rather than the more usual cocktail sticks or scalpels, to avoid damaging the fragile surfaces of the gold. It is hoped that chemical analysis of the alloys and adhesives may help identify a workshop for some of the pieces, and thus provide some context but there are too many outstanding questions, and of course, pieces are still being illegally removed up from the original site, (as we highlighted recently) which police are aware of and are investigating.
After a short question time for the session, a tea break was more than welcome before the final session of the conference.
Session 8. Operation Nightingale: Injured soldiers on the road to recovery.
Surgeon Commodore Peter Buxton introduced a short film about Operation Nightingale (ON) excavations at Caerwent and explained that the project uses archaeological fieldwork to help the recovery of wounded servicemen returning from Afghanistan. Phil Harding (CA Archaeologist of the Year) is Honorary President but Peter explained with a smile that "rumours I told the soldiers to vote for him are untrue!" He went on to explain that many MOD sites (10 World heritage Sites, 800 listed buildings, 734 Scheduled Ancient Monuments in their care) are so well protected that they contain some amazing archaeology. Many of the soldiers involved in ON have moved on to study archaeology on a full-time basis as a result of the project. The first dig for the project was Chissenbury Midden, a 3m deep Bronze Age deposit threatened by badgers. Examining the throw resulted in up to 25kg of pottery sherds, without any excavation ("the post-ex costs would have bankrupted us!"). The success of the project was summed up in the example of a soldier, mute for 4 months following injury, who started speaking whilst sorting pottery on the project. It was explained that many soldiers' injuries, mental or physical, may not necessarily be 'visible' injuries but all must be rehabilitated in their own ways. Whilst the focus is on the healing process, some good archaeological work is also being done by the unit; Caerwent Roman villa and Barrow Clump Saxon cemetery (featured in a Time Team Special) were honorable mentions here. One questioner asked "are results published, or is it a military secret?" The reply was that work will be published as it's all part of the archaeology.
But all too soon, it was time for closing comments from both Matthew Symonds, CA editor and Andrew Selkirk, editor in chief and founder of the magazine. And that was it for another year.
There were some trips organised to visit the St Mary Spital Charnel House and also the Billingsgate Bathhouse on the Sunday, but I didn't attend these, so cannot report on them here.
Was the conference a success? Judging from the increase in attendance figures from last year, and the reactions on Twitter and Facebook I'd have to say positively yes, and I personally am already looking forward to next year's event, although whether the Senate House will be large enough is open to debate. Book early to avoid disappointment, as they say…
Current Archaeology Live is an event hosted annually by Current Archaeology magazine since 2008, and incorporating the Current Archaeology Awards. Again, as last year, I attended and live-tweeted the event.
After a full first day, attendees arriving at Senate House found the entrance they had been told to use for Day Two was off limits – the Muppets were filming in the building for the day! So a quick leg stretch was required to circumnavigate the building to an alternate entrance. Despite this, the conference timetable was adhered to – kudos to the organisers.
Session 5. The Making of Medieval England
After a recap of last year's award winners, Duncan Sayer started the day, taking us through Anglo-Saxon Oakington, northernmost of a cluster of Anglo-Saxon cemeteries in Cambridgeshire. Analysis of the graves showed no patterning according to age or gender, but there were lots of children interred. One couple buried together were shown – she was much the taller of the two, so much so that her knees were bent to fit her into the grave cut. However, analysis of finds showed a pattern of clusters of long and round brooches, suggesting two separate plots. Amusingly, two horse burials were uncovered, until one was found to have horns! A woman buried with a cow was a first.
Alexandra Knox then took us through the recent excavations at Lyminge in Kent, site of an Anglo-Saxon Timber Hall. A monastic abbey site, previous excavations have identified two distinct phases of occupation in the area, with no overlap. Evidence from excavated Sunken Floored Buildings (SFBs) shows that the area was important prior to the estalishment of the abbey there. The big find of the 2012 season though was the Great Hall, of double plank in trench construction and preliminarily dated to around AD600. Christianisation of the area is reflected in both the settlement shift and the diet – from mostly pigs to mainly sheep/goat, though over 10000 fish bones have been uncovered, some 10 miles from the (then) coast. Other finds have identified Middle Saxon Lyminge as a centre of production. Textiles, metalworking, bone working etc.
Finally for this session, Neil Faulkner returned to the stage, taking as his subject 'Monarchy, Church and Great Estate, the making and remaking of an Anglo-Saxon village' – Sedgeford. Neil made the point that while with Roman sites it's easy to identify their function: town, fort, villa etc., no such typology exists for Anglo-Saxon sites. What is a monastery, what does a manor look like? He then discussed how far the social structures described in Anglo-Saxon written sources can be seen in archaeology. Sedgeford is a long term investigation of settlement and land use, for instance: Middle A-S Sedgeford is mainly located south of the river, with Medieval Sedgford to the north. Why the move? Many questions still unanswered, though the impact of the creation of petty kingdoms etc. needs to be considered – dynamism of society reflected in the archaeology?
After such a thoughtful talk to close the session, it was time for a coffee break and more browsing round the Fair stalls looking for some bargains.
Session 6. A Tale of Two Cities: Pompeii and Herculaneum
The World Archaeology session returned to Roman matters with three talks covering "two ordinary towns with a spectacular end". Paul Roberts of the British Museum was up first to introduce the upcoming exhibition on the two cities, "Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum", which promises to 'provide vivid insights into ordinary Roman life'. Pompeii had a population of between 12-15000, Herculaneum was smaller. Up to 50% of the population of Herculaneum were of slave origin. The exhibition focuses on the home; for instance, a fresco of a baker and his wife was shown where she holds a stylus and tablet appears to show her doing the accounts for the family business. Many other images were shown in a slide show, including how a large mosaic had to be tilted to fit through the doors of the museum for the exhibition, and a bronze statue of Empress Livia squeezed through with just 2cm to spare. Tricky stuff. The exhibition reminds us that the artefacts aren't just objects, they were someone's possessions, like the carbonised baby's wooden cradle, and the carbonised table that also appears in a wall fresco.
Andrew Wallace-Hadrill then guided us through Herculaneum, where just 5 hectares have been excavated to date, about a tenth of the area dug so far at Pompeii. Although both cities were wiped out by the volcanic eruption, there were doomed in different ways. Pompeii was suffocated by the initial ash, but Herculaneum was covered by the pyroclastic flows. Different ends, different effects (the organic material was preserved much better in Herculaneum), and different excavation methods are required for a total of '450 million truckloads' of material covering the two cities. In Pompeii, pumice pebbles can be excavated, but Herculaneum is covered in solid rock. Much more difficult to excavate! But Herculaneum is in decline through neglect – hence the Herculaneum Conservation Project, but water management is a big problem, with regular flooding so reconstructing the drains is important as the Romans knew how to keep their city dry.
Sarah Court then took to the stage, all the way from Italy, to tell us more about the outreach aspects of the Conservation Project. The excavations initially created generations of local employment, but the area around Herculaneum is now very poor with high unemployment and very little tourism so far. The Project is involving the local community again, giving them a sense of pride and ownership in an area that could again be engulfed by another eruption at any time! Many locals feel that tourism is the only hope for their town, and local schoolchildren are being used as 'ambassadors', in a 'peer learning' scheme.
The session was closed with a Q&A section, where debate centred around the possible 'Disneyfication' of the area and moves to prevent this happening whilst still providing a sustainable future for the region. After which, the conference broke off for lunch before the final sessions of the two day event…
To Be Continued.
We continue our review of this year's Current Archaeology Live conference, held on March 1-2 at Senate House, in London.
After a pleasant lunch in the cafe in the park at Russell Square, I returned to the melee at the Archaeology Fair. The second-hand bookstall was proving popular, as were all the other stalls ranged around the room. But all too soon the bell summoned us back to the lecture room for the afternoon sessions.
Session 3. Researching Roman Britain
Now, I'm far from being a Romanist – it's all far too modern for me! – but I found much of interest in this session. Are those damn Romans assimilating me into their empire? Matt Symonds was certainly in raptures during this session!
First up was Keith Parfitt, from Canterbury Archaeology Trust, to tell us about a Rescue Dig at Folkestone Villa. The villa was first excavated by Winbolt in the 1920′s and last dug in 1957 when it was backfilled. The site is now in danger from coastal erosion – where it was recorded as far as 200 feet from the cliff edge, parts are no more than 8 feet from the edge! As Keith said, "cliffs don't crumble, they go in chunks", so the next collapse will likely take some of the villa with it. It's possible the villa may once have been a trading post, as much as half-a mile inland. There have been some fascinating finds, both at the site and at the bottom of the cliff on the shoreline below, including a beautiful Iron Age gold coin – a photo of which drew gasps from the audience, and a lovely signet ring gem, found trodden into the gravel in the yard of the villa.
Andrew Birley then attempted to summarise 5 years work at Vindolanda in 25 minutes… Vindolanda contains a long sequence of forts on a single site – as many as 11 – with other forts nearby too, so an impossible task to fit it all in, but he made a brave attempt. The last 5 years have concentrated on the 3rd century site, where two pieces of painted glass, excavated in different areas of the site were found to fit together perfectly. Amazing stuff. Many of the finds at Vindolanda are so well preserved because of its isolation – there were no medieval settlements here to rob out the stone, although some Saxon strap ends built into the fabric of the wall indicate the length of the occupation. One sombre find was the grave of a murdered Roman child, born in North Africa and buried under the garrison floor. Among other finds have been some pieces matching parts of the Crosby Garrett helmet – suggesting mass-production of components?
To finish the session, Ian Haynes told us about recent work at Maryport, Cumbria. In particular looking at new ideas about the largest collection of Roman altars in Britain and a reappraisal of the 1870 pit discoveries. It is now felt that the altars were not ritually buried as originally thought, but may have been used to support the timber posts of later buildings.
Session 4. Keynote Speaker
After a tea break, Neil Faulkner introduced the Keynote Speaker, Martin Carver (who has previously featured in our Inside the Mind series). Martin's talk, entitled 'Around the World with a Pointed Trowel' took us on a whirlwind tour of archaeological digs in different countries: Turkey, Senegal, Sweden, Iceland, Cambodia, Japan etc. showing that different terrains can't be excavated by standard means and techniques. Each site has unique problems to overcome, such as the comparison of excavation techniques used for permafrost versus a jungle terrain or the use of 'CSI archaeology' to analyse chemical properties of soil to identify the usage of different parts of a site. Moving on to talk about the social context and problems of looting, local communities need to feel important to value their heritage and stop looting. Closing thoughts from Martin Carver: every site has its own personality. 'Design, not dogma, is what makes archaeology happen,' and 'Local archaeological societies are local experts and must be included in archaeology design'.
After a short break, during which everyone decanted into the Fair hall, it was time for the awards. Firstly the World Archaeology Photo of the Year winner was announced: Sophie Hay was the worthy winner.
Then a special award, The Royal Archaeological Institute presented a special award for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, for the best report on archaeological achievements in the last 60 years. The worthy winners were Cornwall Archaeological Society, for their work at Carn Brea.
The Current Archaeology Awards, voted for by the magazine readership were then presented. The winners were as follows:
- Book of the Year: Roman Camps in Britain, by Rebecca Jones
- Rescue Dig of the Year: Folkstone: Roman Villa or Iron Age oppidum?
- Research Project of the year: Richard III: The search for the last Plantagenet king.
- Archaeologist of the Year: Phil Harding
The awards were in the form of flint arrowheads, which particularly pleased that well known knapper, Phil Harding
And that was that. Drinks and nibbles were accompanied by some wonderful medieval music by Duo Parva Antiqua as the first day of the conference came to a close. Back tomorrow for more!
To Be Continued.
Current Archaeology Live is an event hosted annually by Current Archaeology magazine since 2008, and incorporating the Current Archaeology Awards. Once again, this year's event was held in the prestigious Senate House building in London, reputed to be one of the inspirations for Orwell's '1984′ from his time working here. I was fortunate to be invited along once again this year to 'live tweet' the event across the two days.
As previously, the format across the two days was roughly chronological, kicking off with the Prehistoric, moving through Roman and Medieval sessions up to Early Modern, with sessions on Rescue Archaeology and World Archaeology thrown in for good measure.
Session 1. In Search of the Prehistoric
Matt Symonds gave the customary Health and Safety speech after welcoming everyone, and introduced Julian Richards of Meet the Ancestors infamy, which as he said "was a very long time ago now". Julian then passed the stage to Nick Card who told the audience all about the ongoing excavations on the Ness of Brodgar, including spectacular geofizz results, and Aerial-Cam photos of the site. It seems, even where test pits were dug away from any known anomalies archaeology was still present! Radio-carbon dated to around the same age as Stonehenge, some of the structures have been very impressively preserved – walls up to 1m high still complete, and a boundary wall that was over 6m thick in places – wider than Hadrian's wall some three millennia later!
The second speaker was from an excavation in complete contrast: Mark Knight told us about the 'deep space archaeology' at Must Farm, in Cambridgeshire. The excavation of this largely Bronze Age site is taking place several metres below the current sea level, near to Flag Fen. Unlike Orkney, there is no stone here, but several log boats have been found, perfectly preserved in the anaerobic sediments. Whilst previous Fenland archaeology has concentrated on the relatively 'high' ground in what is essentially a flat area today, extraction of clay for brick-making has allowed a view of the previous, earlier topology, and this is now being investigated. Tracking the beds of old rivers, wattle and stake fence lines have been found, with thousands of animal hoof prints preserved in the mud alongside. Fish traps and spears with metal blades have been among the finds here, along with a total of nine log boats so far, from just a 250m section of old watercourse. In fact, the scale of varied, well preserved finds, including evidence of repair work on traps, fences and boats suggests that this use is typical along the length of the old watercourse, and not just a fluke.
To finish off the prehistoric session, Niall Sharples of Cardiff University spoke of his experiences at the recent excavations at Ham Hill, 'the largest hillfort in Britain'. Ham Hill is four times the size of Maiden Castle, at 88ha., but little is known so far of its chronology. Much of the hill has been quarried away (starting with the Romans), or wooded, but part of the northern ramparts have been excavated, and show a possible neolithic origin with flint rubble. Much Bronze Age metalwork was found, suggesting consolidation work on a pre-existing 'important place', later with massive 3-phase expansion in the Iron Age. Looking at the possible population, a total of 54 grain storage pits have been found, estimates put the total occupancy at around the 1500 mark. The summer of 2013 will see the last season of excavations for now.
A coffee break allowed the first glimpse of the 'Archaeology Fair' – a series of stalls affording an opportunity to purchase a selection of books, archaeology-related jewelry and tools, and to speak to various providers of archaeological services. The Fair proved to be very popular over the two days.
Session 2. Rescuing the Past
This session included three talks about rescue digs, in London, Ipswich and Ireland. First up was Don Walker talking about the finds at St Mary Spital, in London, a cemetery site of mass fatalities in use between 1120 and 1539. Expecting to find around 4000 skeletons, almost 11000 were excavated, and the final total may have been as high as 18000. The cemetery included 143 mass graves, where the bodies had been interred neatly, not just thrown in. Examination of the bones showed two main phases of mass burial. Lack of trauma and radiocarbon dating ruled out battle casualties and the Black Death. One possible cause is a starvation event, which leaves little conclusive evidence in the bones. Historical sources record odd weather patterns and pestilence in the mid 13th century – harvest failure causing starvation? There is evidence for a volcanic eruption around this time bringing climate change.
Next up were Richard Brown and Andy Shelley, to tell us about the excavations at Stoke Quay in Ipswich – a 25 week excavation and post-ex fully supported by the developers. Stoke Quay is south of the Orwell, and medieval Ipswich was mainly to the north, so Stoke Quay could be considered as suburban. Most previous excavations in Ipswich (over a 30 year period) have been to the north of the river, so this waas a good opportunity. What was found was not only a Saxon cemetery with over 1100 bodies, but also a much earlier barrow cemetery too – a possible 'burial landscape', "similar to nearby Sutton Hoo, but without the riches". Low value grave goods were found, including Seax and wooden staffs, over 100 boxes of pottery fragments and more than 500 boxes of animal bones. The excavation has provided an ongoing research potential for the evolution of Ipswich and study of burial rites across a wide period.
Finally, leading into lunch, Ronan Swan from the Irish National Road Scheme (NRA) spoke about the archaeological investigations carried out by the unit. With a vast range of over 15000 sites in the country, the three main approaches are preservation by avoidance, preservation in situ, or by record. Which is useed is determined by a host of varied factors. In the last 20 years, the Irish road system has expanded dramatically, and this has offered many archaeological opportunities. As it's so difficult to avoid sites in Ireland, archaeologists were included in the road design teams. A quick slide tour of four sites was given, showing the range involved: Mesolithic fish traps found below Neolithic burnt mounds in Neath, Edercloon, Co Longford found wooden trackways in use from the Neolithic through to the Iron Age, Mitchelstown in Cork uncovered Bronze Age pottery, and Johnstown in Meath, a multi-period site with burials from the late Iron Age through the medieval period. In a nice 'show and tell', a model of a Mitchelstown pot with an odd face on it was passed around the audience. The model had been produced using a 3D printer, and a cast of the pot was also available to view.
The Show and Tell brought the morning sessions to an end, and we broke for lunch after Matt had thanked the morning's speakers, and cracked an awful joke about the pot being the original 'ugly mug'!
To Be Continued…
In which we conclude our look back at the past twelve months and come up to date.
The month began with a round up of some heritage based events running throughout the month, and a trip through Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
The ongoing story of the earlier desecration of Priddy Henges encountered more delays, whilst news reached us of the destruction of a possible henge and later settlement in Hertfordshire and we looked at three different approaches to museum closures.
We took a brief look at Roundhouse Reconstructions and Archaeology Courses.
In terms of new beginnings, we (re)launched our Public Forum which is slowly growing, and started a new series looking at the Scheduling system in the UK.
Our weekly series looking at Scheduling continued throughout the month.
We briefly looked at human transport of the Stonehenge Bluestones and at yet another sponsored desecration of a well loved site, whilst the Duddo Stones earned a possible reprieve.
The sentencing for the Priddy desecration was finally passed, and we had our say on the matter.
Cornwall was again well represented (there's so much archaeology down there!) with a story on Carwynnen Quoit, and a short series of diary entries from a recent trip.
Several of our recent series continued throughout the month: we got Inside the Minds of James Gossip and Tim Darvill, continued questioning the Scheduling System and had some further thoughts on Priddy.
Pip Richards gave a guest round-up of the summer dig at Carwynnen Quoit, and we reprinted what we think is a classic essay written for us by our member Tombo in 2004 soon after Heritage Action was formed.
On a more unsavoury front, we reported on recent threats made to our Chairman by members of the metal detecting fraternity.
On a more light-hearted note, we reported on sightings of Witches at the Rollright Stones and a Dalek at Aldbourne!
The Scheduling System continues to come under scrutiny, while Lorna Richardson allowed us to peek 'Inside the Mind'.
We also started a new series, 'Postcards from a World Heritage Site' presenting short vignettes from and about the Stonehenge and Avebury areas.
Well, that brings us up to date in our look at the highlights from this year, and we hope you've enjoyed reading as much as we've enjoyed producing the Journal this year. Keep following us next year for more news, views and stories about our ancient heritage, and the threats to it.
See Part 1 here, and Part 2 here.
We continue our look back at some of the stories that we've highlighted during 2012.
We kicked off the month with an article about the Young Archaeologists Club and their appeal for funds. Sadly, with the ongoing cuts more branches than ever are in danger (Southampton Archaeology Unit has recently been identified as a victim of government cuts) so please give them your support where you can!
We highlighted the Tangible Benefits of Time Team style community archaeology and raised a question about the possibilities for a 'Heritage Crime' app for smartphones. Despite some useful comments, we've seen no tangible results of that discussion as yet. Has anyone got something they would like to tell us on that front?
We wrote about the newly restored Devil's Quoits at Stanton Harcourt, looked at some often overlooked sites that are Hidden in Plain Sight and continued our Olympic Campaign to get the Torch to stop at Silbury Hill.
We held our first Competition and wrote about visits to Carwynnen Quoit, the Falmouth Log Boat construction and Bosiliack Settlement, all in Cornwall.
Once again, Mynydd Y Betws returned to the spotlight and we looked at further deterioration at Thornborough Henges.
Heritage Crime was covered with the announcement of a series of talks on the ARCH initiative, a hammer attack on the Lia Fail standing stone at Tara in Ireland and we advised on How to Report Dumped Rubbish or Damage.
The Courtyard Houses of West Penwith and the Harlow Temple were visited during the month.
Meanwhile, Stonehenge was in the news with the announcement of another new theory of its origins, and the start of work on the new Visitor Centre there.
July is always a month of meetings and get togethers, many as part of the CBA's Festival of Archaeology. There was our very own Megameet, held every year in Avebury and well attended again this year, the Megalithic Portal event in the Peak District with one of our own leading a guided walk up to Gardom's Edge, and a talk at the Thornborough Henges.
We also reported on the Welwyn Archaeological Society conference and a potentially damaging TV Series, Britain's Secret Treasures.
We featured articles this month about Heritage Crime, developer damage and insensitivity.
In outings we visited Flag Fen and the Norton Henge.
Suggestions for new ways to use Stonehenge was a popular mini-series throughout the month, and we suggested Six Newsfeeds you shouldn't miss.
In addition to the above highlights, as ever we also continued our usual coverage of news items about archaeological heritage and crime, metal detecting and planning inconsistencies.
…to be concluded in Part 3. See Part 1 here
As the year draws to a close, it's traditional to look back at what has been, and possibly to look forward at what's to come. 2012 was a busy year for the Heritage Journal, so join me as we look back and recall some of the highlights, month by month…
Our series looking at Local Archaeological Societies, begun in December 2011 was now in full swing with 4 areas covered throughout the month. We also peeked 'Inside the Mind of…' Mike Heyworth, Director of the Council for British Archaeology as part of an occasional series which has continued throughout the year.
We celebrated 25 years of Meyn Mamvro magazine and gave some advice on What Not to Do at Heritage Sites which proved a very popular article. We continued the write up of Scubi's Scottish Adventure series, which had commenced some six months previously. But the big news story which was to continue throughout the year was the discovery of a threatened stone row at Mynydd Y Betws.
We continued with our in-depth look at the situation at Mynydd Y Betws, and finished off the Local Archaeological Societies series.
Nancy Wisser, owner of the Clonehenge website gave us an insight into it's creation, and we suggested 6 ways to enhance your heritage monument visits.
A personal highlight for me was attendance at the Current Archaeology Live conference, having been lucky enough to win a ticket in a contest on Facebook!
We gave some advice on How to Best Preserve Ancient Sites and How to Become an Archaeologist, the latter as an introduction to the DigVentures team's attempt at crowd-funding a dig at Flag Fen later in the year.
Richard Mortimer and Carenza Lewis played nicely for 'Inside the Mind', and we provided a brief insight into the history of Heritage Action.
The National Planning Policy Framework was released, and we gave our layman's verdict: Must Try Harder! Meanwhile, the funding cuts for the Wiltshire Heritage Museum were also highlighted.
This month, with the Olympics on the horizon we campaigned for the Olympic Torch to stop for a photo opportunity at Silbury Hill. Alas, our pleas fell on deaf ears, and a chance to highlight an iconic British monument was lost.
Raksha Dave and Rachel Pope featured on 'Inside the Mind of…', where Raksha's responses turned out to be our most popular post of the year according to the WordPress statistics on the site!
RESCUE's Fighting Back guidelines were updated, and we discussed whether it's best to publicise site locations of the more obscure ancient heritage sites or not.
As usual, we also continued our campaign for responsible and ethical metal detecting throughout the year, as well as our regular news items, travelogues and opinion pieces.
…to be continued in Part 2.

Fukuda wins Japan leadership race
Tokyo, September 23, 2007
Japan's ruling party on Sunday picked Yasuo Fukuda, an advocate of warmer ties with Tokyo's Asian neighbours, to succeed Shinzo Abe as prime minister in an effort to revive party fortunes and end a political vacuum.
Fukuda, 71, seen as an experienced moderate, defeated hawkish former foreign minister Taro Aso in the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election, ensuring he becomes prime minister because of the ruling camp's huge majority in parliament's lower house.
Abe, whose year in office was marked by scandals and a humiliating election defeat, stunned allies and foes by announcing his resignation on Sept. 12, just days after staking his career on extending a Japanese naval mission in support of US-led military operations in Afghanistan. -Reuters

The Greenbrier East-Woodrow Wilson basketball game has always included a little extra tension.
Ask legendary Woodrow Wilson head coach Dave Barksdale, who heard more boos in his trips to Greenbrier County than Rich Rodriguez walking into a Mountaineer pep rally.
Check with Greenbrier East play-by-play radio announcer Jeff Campbell, who exclaimed on the air, "Ding-dong the witch is dead," when the Spartans upset the Flying Eagles last year in Beckley.
The schools simply love to hate each other.
But never has the rivalry — which will be renewed tonight at 7:30 p.m., when the Flying Eagles travel to Fairlea — been more heated than in recent years. Not only are the Spartans led by a Woodrow graduate in head coach Jim Justice, adding a little personal fuel to the fire, the series has also reached a new level of competitiveness.
Historically, Woodrow has been the Goliath, with East playing the role of David. The Flying Eagles have won 16 state championships to Greenbrier East's single title. The Flying Eagles came within a whisker of winning another championship last season, while the Spartans haven't been to Charleston since 2002. The series itself, in fact, has been largely dominated by the boys in maroon.
But these Spartans are a little different. East finished 20-5 last season, its second with Justice in charge, and spent most of the year ranked among the state's top teams. It knocked off Woodrow Wilson 61-59 in the teams' only regular season meeting last year — the Spartans' first regular-season victory inside the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center since 1976 — and its roster includes two Division I signees in Rondale Watson and Obi Romeo.
"Those guys didn't sign D-I scholarships for no reason," said Woodrow Wilson head coach Ron Kidd, who found revenge against East last year with a blowout victory in the sectional final. "And (point guard Isaiah Kinder) is a really good player, too. They're going to be a good team."
The Spartans (5-2) were ranked No. 6 in the Class AAA preseason poll and are led by Watson, a Wake Forest signee who's already scored more than 1,100 points in his high school career and is averaging 26.3 points per game. Romeo, a St. Joseph's signee, is a walking double-double, who also swats away shots like a high school senior matched up against a sixth-grader, and Wyoming East transfer Josh Tunstalle is averaging double figures with a little more than 11 points per game.
Tyler Canterbury is the Spartans' outside sharpshooter, and Kinder, who quarterbacked the football team, has managed the basketball offense effectively.
Woodrow (1-1), ranked No. 3 in the Class AAA preseason poll, will be missing its biggest star tonight. Point guard Donte Nabors, a Class AAA first team all-stater as a junior, was injured during the Flying Eagles' win over Oak Hill a week ago today. He'll be out, "at least 10 days," according to Kidd, but the Flying Eagles won't be without offensive weapons.
Dai Dai Fortune — fully healthy after a car wreck that caused him to miss a large chunk of the 2012-13 season — is averaging 12.5 points per game, and sophomore Nequan Carrington is a force inside, averaging 11.5 points per outing. Jaylon Breckenridge (10 ppg) and Chase Hancock (10.5 ppg), one of the state's best defenders, give Woodrow two other double-figure scorers.
"It's a big change," said Kidd of the absence of Nabors, who will be replaced at point guard by junior Corey Acord. "But it just creates an opportunity for some other kids. Somebody's got to step up.
"I would think the kids would be hyped no matter who we have out there. You throw that stuff out the door in a rivalry game like this."
Kidd also expects his defense to pick up some of the slack from the missing offensive spark. Woodrow has long been known for its relentless pressure attack, and Kidd said this year's defense is well ahead of the offense at this point.
East does have the advantage of having played seven games, compared to two for the Flying Eagles. Kidd said the experience of playing in front of a crowd with referees more often could help the Spartans, but he's just anxious to get his team back on the floor.
"We just need games," he said. "I'm tired of practicing. The more we play, the better we're going to get."

I reproduced a particularly intriuging Neville Colmore Fatgravure today that I felt compelled to share. The accession number is missing so I have not been able to track down any associated journal entries or notes as of yet. However, I wanted to share this with those of you that are following the project. I am finding more and more evidence that Colmore's process created a physical passage rather than just a visual one. This plate seems to provide support for my suspicions. Is that Colmore's hand on the other end of the spoon reaching around or through the Spectobarathrum? I believe the magnetic field it generated extended beyond the the wooden case that housed the lenses, mirrors and mechanisms.
borealnz, Aaltra, and thespyhole added this photo to their favorites.
yes, you're getting closer and closer.

Magical, and has Colmore left a ghostly fingerprint on the plate I wonder?
Hmm, there is something that looks like a fingerprint but the Spectobarathrum used a large format camera of Colmore's own design. If it is indeed a fingerprint, the finger was quite large and most certainly not Colmore's! Quite mysterious and a bit frightening.
