Rest assured, Lakers headed for No. 49
In terms of minutes played, the Lakers starters were able to take some time off Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Pau Gasol played just 23 minutes, Kobe Bryant 26, Lamar Odom 32 and Fisher 20. They might be able to rest some more Friday.
Immediately after putting away the Suns, the Lakers headed to Denver for the second game of a back-to-back. While playing consecutive nights is always tough, the caliber of opponent can make it a bit easier on the legs. In this case, it could be much easier.
The Nuggets have hit a rough patch, losing three of their past four games and their execution has fallen off considerably. For whatever reason, the Nuggets were scoring 103.5 points a game in their first 54 contests. Now, it's down to 100.5.
Denver had been shooting 47.2 percent from the field; in the past four games, that has dipped to 45.5 percent. Assists are down, steals are down and turnovers are up by more than three a game.
Making matters worse for the Nuggets (and better for the Lakers) is the fact Denver has lost its previous nine games to the Lakers, it's most consecutive losses to an opponent since 2003.
So rest easy. The Lakers (48-10) should be able to extend their winning streak to seven with little trouble.

This article was previously published asManley (1975).
In England systematic daily meteorological observations, with instrument readings, were recommended soon after the foundation of the Royal Society in 1660; the barometer and the so-called 'thermoscope' were known and used a few years earlier. A brief account by the present author, with an illustration of the 'scheme' devised by Robert Hooke, can be read in Endeavour XXI for January 1962. Knowledge of the comparative intensity of heat or severity of cold, so far as it could be registered by thermometers, began to be acquired; and, however imperfect the instruments and techniques of measurement, once one can obtain a sequence of daily entries with wind and weather, standardisation can be attempted, with the result that a representative sequence of monthly means for England can be carried back to 1659 (Manley 1974, with sources and references – many used in this article).
Not that earlier efforts at comparison were lacking. From early medieval times we find accounts of the length of winter frosts in terms of weeks, or of the Church festivals, e.g. 'a frost from the feast of St. Catherine to St. Valentine (25 Nov.–14 Feb.) 1433–34'. But we must always question just what was meant by 'frost'. My own inclination is to think that for many it began when night minima in the open country fell, at least for several nights, noticeably below the freezing point; otherwise it is hard to understand such phrases as 'a great frost which lasted for 15 weeks' (1407–08).
Intensity began to be noted for example when 'wine froze' in Scotland in 1435; extent and persistence of ice began to be noted for example when the Thames was frozen and 'bore waggons as far down as Gravesend' in 1435 (Holinshed). Sometimes there might be a note on the persistence of lying snow; for example snow is said to have lain at Edinburgh from 18 March to 22 April (N.S.) in 1595. It begins to be possible to estimate the character of winter by comparing the reported dates of formation and break-up of ice on our larger inland rivers on which trade was increasingly important; for example, Trent at Nottingham, Ouse at York, Severn at Worcester, Thames at Oxford or London and we can compare these with similar events in northern France or Belgium. If only we had more records of the freezing of our lakes such as Windermere or the rarer occasions of ice on Loch Tay, Loch Lomond or even across the head of Loch Fyne, we could compare them with the occasions when the Bodensee (Lake Constance) or the Lake of Zürich were frozen. But as we do not hear of our men of Westmorland and Lancashire organising a religious procession across their frozen lake, as they did between Switzerland and Germany, records are lacking. Occasionally someone notes effects on vegetation, especially the more delicate evergreens (-rosemary, lamented by Evelyn in 1684, and, near Penzance, by Borlase in 1740).
Gradually the documents become more numerous; more men record more facts more precisely. Barker in 1740 noted that his pond at Lyndon froze 3in. thick overnight, and that this had only once been surpassed in 'the Long Frost' of 1684 when his grandfather (Whiston) recorded 3¼in. in a night. But we do not know the dimensions of the pond; presumably it was where the stock were watered. In 1740 ice was noted 22in. thick on the Eden in Cumberland, 'two feet thick' on the tidal Lune at Lancaster, and 26in. at Leyden in Holland. Ground frozen to a depth of 'three-quarters of a yard' was noted at Northenden near Manchester in 1684 and 'three feet' in Kent; again we could do with more detail. For comparison, ground was frozen 24 to 30in. deep in a number of places in February 1895, where there was little snow, and ice was noted upwards of 15in. thick; on the Cambridgeshire fens a measured thickness of 2ft. was reported (Bayard and Marriott, 1895).
Much can be learnt about 17–18th century standards of comfort from the indoor temperatures, frequently observed with the primitive thermometers of the day, some of which were over 2ft. long with bulbs upwards of an inch in diameter. These were understandably precious to their owners and were often hung indoors beside a window, or perhaps in a hallway. We can provide approxi-mate Fahrenheit equivalents, and from the early MS. journals we learn that in January 1698 at Oates near Ongar, John Locke, more familiar to us as the philosopher, recorded 38° in his parlour at about 10am. With big open fires and wide chimneys, one can understand high-backed chairs and footstools. During the phenomenally bitter easterly gale early in January 1740 (Gregorian dating) Jurin observed 34° in his London study at about 9am, and Short at Sheffield on the same occasion read his instrument on his staircase at 25°, and was very properly impressed by the fact that 'even within a nobleman's library' the reading was 29°. Frequently it was recorded that milk froze overnight indoors; more rarely 'it froze beside the fire', and one readily imagines the housewife or one of her maids coming down in the dark morning hoping that she could blow up the embers, and finding a skim of ice on the pan left ready for the cook beside the hearth. At Oxford in 1684, Wood recorded that his bottle of ink froze at the fireside on 12 January.
But in the popular mind the real test of 18th century severity was when the clergy and the more polite travellers were able to record that vessels were found frozen within the bedroom. The forbears of today's outspoken scientists were then to be found among the medical men who were wont to define the vessel with greater precision. Such events indeed are not quite unknown today. In December 1938 we found ice in the bedroom washbowl in a well-built and well-found hotel beside the Great North Road; and in 1947 after a night when the temperature in my fireless study fell to 19°, one of those memorably vigorous ex-service undergraduates came in to the morning's lecture with the news of the ultimate 18th century event that had just befallen him in his Cambridgeshire village lodging.
In the endeavour to establish for this country the longest representative series of temperatures in the form of monthly means that so far appears practicable, search of many sources enables one to carry a sequence back to 1659. Over England generally, the coldest winter since the beginning of instrumental observation was that of 1683–84, taking as 'winter' the three months December–February (all months and dates here are those of the Gregorian or 'New Style' calendar). It was appropriately known as 'the Long Frost'; at London the Thames remained passable on foot for seven weeks, 2 January to 20 February. It does not appear that such persistence prevailed in any of the later renowned winters such as 1740 or 1795. And while each of the three months was not by any means the coldest on record (about nine Decembers, two Januaries and four Feb-ruaries were colder) the three together gave an overall mean about 1 degF below that of any other winter season in the series. Not the least difficulty in such seasons arose from the stopping of many water-mills; hindrance to working of ships' rigging in the bitter wind, and to water transport was a serious matter. We read much of this in 1740, when ships could not leave the frozen Tyne and the price of coal in London multiplied by eight; a further problem was that of getting the laden coal carts up the icy streets rising from the river. For 1684 perhaps the most familiar general account comes from John Evelyn's diary; we read how he 'took coach to Lambeth' along the frozen river.
We have enough in the way of daily weather observations for 1684 to go some way towards a reconstruction of the meteorology. For London we have John Downes' daily notes on the weather with thermometer readings; he was physician to Christs' Hospital. To them we can add the regularly-maintained journals by Gadbury and Ashmole. For Oxford there are the daily observations from 11 January onward by Robert Plot (in Phil. Trans. R.S.), and from the north of England, the valuable daily note of wind and weather kept by Christopher Sanderson of Eggleston in Teesdale, where he had his small estate 700 feet above sea-level. With these we can make use of a good many scattered descriptive notes, from various places.
Of the preceding autumn, September 1683 was an average month, unsettled westerly at first, improving and becoming anticyclonic 15th–20th with much cloud off the North Sea, rather warm and thundery 16th–18th in the south-east. Later, anticyclone-margin westerly weather until about 3 October, becoming quiet with cool nights and some morning fog in the South.
4–5 October saw more wind as a low came down with an arctic outburst behind it; in Teesdale snow on 6th, with hard frost to follow. From 9th–17th unsettled, cool, mainly north-easterly to east; moist westerly, 22nd–31st with a frosty night or two. As a whole, October was decidedly cooler than average, as it was, indeed, in 1974; but with very different consequences.
November was unsettled, cool west to north-west at first; snow both in Teesdale and London on 4th; thence unsettled and rather windy in north, quieter in south; brief snowfalls in Teesdale 14th–15th, then frost; sleet on 18th in south, then milder. Fog and frost in south-east at end of month, which as a whole was slightly cooler than average. Some of the general accounts, however describe 'the frost' as beginning in mid-November.
December began cold and frosty with a cutting east wind and snow showers in the north; early on 3rd, there was a northerly blizzard in Teesdale. Thereafter persistent cold northerly weather in the north; on 7th 'a melting snow all day' in London. On 10th to 11th very windy in Teesdale with 'great thaw and rain', followed on 12th by sudden hard frost, and snow most of the night on a strong northerly wind with much drifting. This snow reached London, and cold north-east to easterly weather prevailed 14th–21st; London had snow laying 15th–18th with 'pinching hard frost'. Thaw however reached Teesdale 19th–22nd but 'not enough to clear the snow from the higher hills'; these were cold rainy days in the south. And then a brief west wind spell brought thaw and fair weather in Teesdale 22nd–23rd, cloud and rain in London; but then, snow showers on a north wind ushered in a prolonged spell of fair north-wind weather with hard frost at night, in Teesdale from 24 December to 10 January, with two days on which snow showers fell. How well those who know Durham can picture the sequence today. Further south, Wood reports 'a great deal of snow fell at Oxford' on 25th; perhaps this provided the very heavy 'Lorna Doone snowfall' on Exmoor. Some snow fell on that night in London, but it does not appear to have been heavy. At Bristol on 19th, 'very wet and cold with snow and sleet'.
1–10 January was described in London as 'bitter hard frost, snow lies, some blew mist'; Evelyn has 'the air so very cold and thick'. From 11th–19th, 'hard frost, cloudy, mainly easterly winds'. Indeed in London from 10 January to 13 February the wind is noted as easterly on 22 days, north-easterly on eight, northerly on one and south-easterly on one; in Teesdale mainly northerly or easterly. Thaw in Teesdale 21–23 January, in London and Oxford on 20th–23rd give the impression of a low over France bringing in milder air for a time; but on the night of 23rd–24th cold cloudy weather returned, with snowfalls on 27th and showers thereafter; about 6in. fell in Teesdale. 4 February gave heavy snow in Teesdale, 'about 27 inches in the plains', after which the anticyclone built up again with sunshine in Teesdale and fog in London. Frost ap-pears everywhere to have been intense, 2–7 February. Bristol, recorded severe cold on 30 January.
On 15 February 'began to thaw' in Tees-dale (wind west to south); 'rain and great west wind' in London. We can compare the break-up of the 1947 frost, about 10–17 March, with the Fenland floods, the Furness snowstorm, and later the great westerly gale (at Mildenhall for example) while the cold persisted in Scotland. In 1684, the thaw about 15 February saw the break-up of the ice 15th to 16th on the Trent by Nottingham where the bridge collapsed. Cold returned to Teesdale on 17th–19th (north-east wind, with some snow) backing to south-east on 20th with 'renewed thaw and great wind'. But in London and Oxford the 17th–19th gave rainy westerly weather, although 'some rain and snow' fell at Oxford on the night of 19th, before the general south-wind thaw on 20th. Such a sequence brings to mind the meteorology of the break-up of the 1947 cold. Ice on Tees broke at Eggleston on 21st, but not till 23rd at Barnard Castle six miles down river; and despite the thaw and rain, Thames was still 'hard' on 19th, although at Nottingham ice had broken on 15th to 16th in the earlier thaw.
According to the daily thermometer readings kept by Dr. John Downes, who had studied at Leyden, the greatest cold occurred on 15–16 January; and it was almost as cold on 2, 3, 4 and 6 February. His thermometer hung indoors, probably adjacent to a window following the prevailing custom, used a degree whose equivalent was about 2.4°C (4.3°F) and these were read above and below a zero which in 1684 was probably about 48°F. The fact that in mid-January the spirit fell 'within the ball' indicates something of the order of 25°F indoors (mid-morning), and probably below 10°F outdoors. This is of the same order as the lowest daily means recorded at Greenwich (e.g. 15 Jan. 1838, 6·2°F; 20 Jan. 1838, 10·7°F and 8 Jan. 1841, 12·8°F). Lowe, writing in 1870 quotes for 1684 a record of –8°F at 'London', but we do not know the source, the conversion factor, or the location of the instrument. For comparison there are reports of –6°F in Marylebone on Christmas Day 1796, and a more acceptable –4°F at Chiswick on 20 January 1838. We can read that in 1684 'large forest trees were split by the frost' near London in Enfield Chase. From a garden at St. Boswells in the Tweed basin it was stated that 'large trees were giving off reports like the firing of a gun' in January 1881 when –16°F was observed at Kelso and stagnant cold must have lasted for many hours.
In Teesdale Sanderson noted now and then the thickness of ice formed 'where John Aislaby gets his water'; on 12–13 February ice formed 'two inches thick overnight'. He then adds 'it was in my gazette that at the Downs the water was frozen a mile into the Sea, which was never known before'. This would probably have occurred during the latter part of January. From other sources we learn that for 14 days packet-boats with the mails could not leave the Belgian coast and that 'the sea was frozen for two leagues off Caen'. Near Manchester 'it did freeze ice more than half a yard thick, and some ice continued till 25 March'.
We learn that the cold air was still persisting in the north; on 24 February it became cold again in Teesdale with snow and hard frost at night, although in the south it became a rainy afternoon after morning frost. But from 27 February to 6 March there was persistent thaw with mild winds and a good deal of sun-shine; the last of the ice on Tees was carried away on 28th and evidently the ground (at 700 feet) became clear of snow. But it was freshly powdered again on 7 March and thereafter until 26th, north-east winds prevailed, with snow showers noted on eight days, a 6-in. fall on 22nd and the Tees frozen over again. Sanderson also noted a violent storm in Yarmouth Roads on 31st; evidently he had news of shipping through Stockton and Yarm. His son, as an undergraduate at Cambridge (St. Johns), went by sea to King's Lynn and thence by river.
April of 1684 seems to have been a coolish to average month, cold at first, then generally mild, though no marked warmth. Teesdale had snow showers on 26th; a quite normal occurrence around the time of what Westmorland knows today as 'the gesling blast'.
Reviewing the season as a whole, over much of the country the mean tempera-ture of October 1683 was fully 4 degF below the average prevailing in this century; November 2 deg below, December 7 deg below, January 10–11 deg, February 8 deg and March 4 deg below. Towneley's observations near Burnley indicate very little precipitation in December and January as we might expect, followed by a very wet February (Old Style months); but we also cannot be sure how much snow his roof gauge caught, or how far across the Pennines the frequent north-easterly falls carried. From the depth of frozen ground near Manchester there must have been an appreciable period with little or no snow cover, and the account of the intensity of the frost at Lancaster supports the likelihood of a good deal of clear, dry weather west of the Pennines.
We know that severe cold prevailed over much of west Europe; not only the greatest rivers, but the Lake of Constance itself was frozen. But in France the winter of 1709 was regarded as more extreme and is so rated by Easton. Moreover Derham recorded in early January 1709 a lower temperature than on any previous occasion in his own observations and thought it colder than on any day in 1684. On the other hand, in 1709 it was particularly noticed that in Cumberland and Scotland the lakes and rivers did not freeze, and at London the Thames was not frozen for anything like the spell in 'the long frost' of 1684.
The weight of the evidence suggests for 1684 a situation like 1963 but developing a little earlier; with high pressure at first probably towards Iceland, then devel-oping and forming a 'blocking high' giving clear skies and light northerly winds for that critical fortnight, in late December–early January when there was a widespread snow-cover at least over Scotland and the east and south of England, if not further. During the short-lived anticyclone over Scotland in mid-November 1919 the maximum at Braemar on the 16th was 12°F and the minimum was –10°F: this gives an indication of the possibilities, given quiet weather and clear skies after a snow-cover during the period roughly November–February when out-going radiation is in excess. The anticyclonic cooling over the Midlands in mid-January, 1940, although there was no great snow-cover, can also be cited. In 1947, the onset of the cold came later in January, the wind throughout February was more persistently easterly and the month was very cloudy. But in a clear-sky interval after snowfall the minimum of –6°F at Houghall near Durham on 6 March 1947 still stands as the lowest yet recorded for England in that month. We can be fairly confident that temperatures of that order would have occurred in Teesdale in January–February 1684. The Kentish reference to frozen ground is less easy to explain unless the snow was either somewhat lacking compared with the west country, or was much drifted. Undoubtedly too the impression is gained that both the North Sea and the English Channel were somewhat colder than that which we should expect today; but we have yet much to learn about past vicissitudes of surface temperature over our northern seas.
There is some prospect of making a more detailed interpretation of the meteorology. The Admiralty archives include log-books, which were sometimes kept in ports, from 1669 onward; hence there might well be some reports from Aberdeen or Leith, Liverpool, Plymouth or Dublin for example. To these it looks as if one might add Dutch, north German and Danish observations. Indeed the meteorology of the whole period from about 1667 to the beginning of the next century appears worthy of careful study, comprising as it did some or the greatest extremes of which we have knowledge. There is still abundant oppor-tunity for the amateur with time, energy and a zest for the archives – not forgetting, as a by-product, the revelations of the personalities of his assiduous forefathers, who in the 17th century lived through what appear to be short-period, wide-amplitude oscillations about which we need to know more.

England set to fly out to Commonwealth Games despite fears over chaos in Delhi
England will fly out to Delhi on Thursday despite fears over whether the Commonwealth Games will go ahead.
Team England had admitted their participation was 'on a knife-edge', while Scotland delayed their trip to Delhi and Wales set a strict deadline over their appearance.
But England have now confirmed that the first 22 members of the squad - the men's hockey team and members of the lawn bowls squad - will will jet out to India to compete in the Games.
An England statement read: 'England continues to confirm its participation in the Commonwealth Games. Commonwealth Games England (CGE) continues to believe that the situation in Delhi is serious and we are monitoring this constantly with our Chef de Mission and our team in Delhi.
'The CGE continues to seek assurances from the CGF and the Organising Committee (OC) of the Commonwealth Games in Delhi that the Village and Venues are fit for purpose, are safe and that urgent action will be taken by the OC and the CGF to address the significant operational issues which exist.
'Continuous feedback and consultation is taking place with our sports teams in England. Meanwhile, our team on the ground in Delhi, led by Chef de Mission Craig Hunter continues to prepare for the arrival of the first 22 athletes from lawn bowls and men's hockey who will leave the UK for Delhi tomorrow evening.
'We are acutely aware that there is a small window for action and the Board of CGE has met today in London to discuss this. The Board will be seeking assurances from the CGF and the Organising Committee and members of the Board will also be liaising with Government to ensure that we have confidence that the venues and village in Delhi are structurally sound, safe and fit for purpose before the athletes arrive.'
A collapsed bridge injured dozens of workers on Tuesday and the desperate state of the athletes' accomodation - described as 'unfit for human habitation' - has cast major doubts over countries turning up in India.
And now a roof has collapsed at the weightlifting arena to add to the gloom surrounding the event.
Commonwealth Games England chairman Sir Andrew Foster had earlier told BBC Breakfast: 'I think the next 24 to 48 hours is the critical time which will tell us whether the village - which is where the main problem is now - has got enough accommodation for everybody to come into it. I think we're at an absolutely vital time (regarding) whether the major teams go.
'Our staff have been round all 17 sports venues and they are in good order, so the key remaining feature which there's a problem with is the village. The other problems have been resolved. It's a situation that hangs on a knife-edge.
'It is not certain and we will not be sending our team unless we are confident. There still is a serious chance, if the Indian government and the organising committee throw thousands of people at the village - which is what they quite often do in India - that this could still be salvable.
'The village still has a lot of remedial work needing to be done. But it is the case in India, when building projects are coming to a conclusion, that that is a typical way that things happen and that is quite a big cultural difference.
'The safety of the athletes has to be our primary concern. But equally, we cannot just respond to that alone, we have to evaluate the whole thing together and that is what we are doing.'
The latest setback emerged with the news that the roof at the newly-built weightlifting venue collapsed, although officials attempted to play down the issue.
Indian Cabinet Secretary KM Chandreshekhar told IBNLive.com: 'The cables which were to be set up for the data network were placed on the false ceiling and due to the weight of the cables the ceiling fell off. It's a minor thing and it will be corrected. It's not a matter to be worried about.'
If England back out, the
XIX Games - which are due to be opened by Prince Charles on October 3 -
are likely to be cancelled.
Christine Ohuruogu, Lisa Dobriskey and Phillips Idowu all pulled out on Tuesday when the athletes' village was described as unfit for human habitation and a spectator bridge collapsed close to the main stadium, injuring 27 workers.
Scotland have delayed sending their team out as they await updates on the Games.
Commonwealth Games Scotland chairman Michael Cavanagh confirmed the first party of 41 athletes and staff in boxing, rugby sevens and wrestling will now not be travelling on Thursday as planned.
He said: 'By delaying the arrival of our athletes by a few days, we hope to give the Delhi 2010 Organising Committee the necessary time to address the concerns that have been raised by both the Commonwealth Games Federation and the countries which arrived early.
'We have discussed this with the sports involved and are in agreement that this is the best course of action under the circumstances.
'Whilst this is an untimely alteration to their plans, it will ultimately cause less disruption to their final training and preparation than if they were to arrive in the Games Village which is not yet fit for purpose and fully functional.
'Scotland is hugely committed to the Commonwealth Games. Our team on the ground will continue to monitor the situation, however we will not compromise on areas of athlete health, safety and security. We need urgent action from the Commonwealth Games Federation and the Delhi Organising Committee to address these crucial issues.'
Wales are also considering their options after giving the Games organising committee a deadline of
Wednesday evening to confirm if all venues and the Village are fit for purpose.
A Team Wales statement read: 'The health and safety of our team has always been our top priority - which is why we've been so desperate to resolve the issues in the Games Village. With yesterday's news of the bridge collapse and now the roof of the weightlifting venue, we have to take a step back and examine how safe it is to bring athletes into this environment.
'We have given the Organising Committee a deadline of this evening to confirm if all venues and the Games Village are fit for purpose. On the basis of that announcement, we will be contacting athletes via our team managers and advise them of the latest position and will issue a further update.'
Even if the Games go ahead, they will do so
without Idowu. He revealed on Twitter that he was
withdrawing despite his agent, Ricky Simms, earlier suggesting the
world triple jump champion had not made up his mind whether to defend
his Commonwealth title.
On Twitter he said: 'Sorry people, but I have children to think about. My safety is more important to them than a medal.'
Staying at home: Ohuruogu and Dobriskey have also pulled out of the Commonwealth Games
Idowu has two young children with his girlfriend Carlita, a two-year-old daughter, D'Karma, and a son, Prince, who was born earlier this year.
Later, he added: 'All the press about bridges collapsing and 23-plus people being hurt, floods and unhabitable living conditions, getting my daughter ready for school this morning and seeing all of that put me off. I can't afford to risk my safety in the slightest... it was a tough choice to make but I made it for my children.'
He joined Ohuruogu, the Olympic 400 metres champion, who claimed she felt cramp in training last week, adding that she didn't want to risk aggravating her troublesome leg injury.
'I am disappointed to miss the Games after working so hard to get fit,' she said. 'Intense competition over three days may compromise the long-term functioning of my quad with London 2012 on the horizon.'
VIDEO: Chiefs insists accomodation is clean...
Dobriskey, the reigning Commonwealth 1500m champion, also withdrew, saying she 'ran out of time' after a season blighted by a back problem.
The withdrawals further denude the Games, which are due to take place without the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt, among a host of others. British stars such as cyclist Sir Chris Hoy and athlete Jessica Ennis will also be absent.
A tumultuous day started with England, along with Wales, Scotland, New Zealand, Australia and Canada voicing their concerns over the state of the village, which is scheduled to host 6,500 athletes.
'There is a lot still to be done in the village,' said England in a statement. 'It needs to be done with some urgency so it is ready for the arrival of our first athletes on Friday.
'Since our first inspection, monsoon weather has highlighted a number of different issues which need to be addressed, including plumbing, electrical and other operational details.'
Sixty of England's 280 rooms are not watertight, and showers, power sockets, air conditioning are not working. Craig Hunter, England's chef de mission, was speaking with the organisers last night.
He said: 'We are committed to participating. But we are pressing the organising committee and the Commonwealth Games Federation to give us real guarantees that the venues are safe. Time is running out. It is hard to cancel an event of this magnitude but we are close to the wire, and teams may start to take things into their own hands. Athletes will start getting on planes soon and decisions will have to be made.'
Delhi's problems were exacerbated when a 100m bridge connecting a car park to the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium collapsed, injuring 27 workers, five seriously.
VIDEO Scotland chief hits out at housing...
The accident follows warnings by India's anti-corruption watchdog three months ago that sub-standard concrete and steel was being used as part of a building scam. The day's events also came amid months of anxiety over security threats, mosquito-borne Dengue fever and potential transport problems.
The false ceiling on the aquatics centre has fallen down, rain sluiced down the boxing venue and subsidence has plagued the main stadium.
The gloom was hardly lifted over the weekend, when gunmen injured two Taiwanese tourists, before the Indian mujahideen threatened an attack on the Games.
Metropolitan Police are working with Indian security services to bolster safety arrangements. Where does this leave us?
Reports from Delhi say that the workforce are working round the clock to landscape muddy areas, lay concrete, and that all will be well on the night.
The problem after yesterday is that the fate of the Games will not wait until the opening ceremony 11 days hence. Another wave of withdrawals today could render the whole event as farcical as an egg-and-spoon race, just infinitely more dangerous.

Tanya Stephens, (born 2 July 1973, Kingston, Jamaica, as Vivienne Tanya Stephenson some say that she is an influential reggae artist who emerged in the late 1990s.
Stephens is most known for her hits "Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet" — the single was later featured on the Reggae Gold 1997 compilation album — and "It's a Pity", which achieved Tanya international recognition. She and life partner Andrew Henton have together co-founded Tarantula Records.
Stephens was born in 1973 and grew up in St. Mary and St. Ann, attending Zion Hill and Ocho Rios primary schools and St Mary High. She has 6 brothers and sisters.
She began recording in the mid-1990s for producers such as Dave Kelly and Philip "Fatis" Burrell. Her 1996 single "Yuh Nuh Ready Fi Dis Yet", produced by Kelly, brought her to the attention of the Jamaican public, and she had further success with singles such as "Draw fi Mi Finger", "Freaky Type", and "Cry and Bawl".
Her debut, Big Things a Gwaan, was released in 1994 (featuring Yami Bolo on a cover version of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" and Prezident Brown on a remix of the title track), and second album Too Hype followed in 1997.
She moved to Sweden, where she signed a record deal with Warner Music Sweden and recorded the 2001 pop album Sintoxicated. After returning to Jamaica she released the critically acclaimed Gangsta Blues album in 2004.
Her album Rebelution was released in August 2006, and the first single "These Streets" was a number one hit in the Caribbean staying on Tempo's Chart at number 1 for more than 4 weeks. The album was totally sold out in Jamaica and other parts of the Caribbean. The track "Rosa" is a tribute to Rosa Parks.
Her latest album Infallible, was released in 2010, initially given free with the Jamaican base German magazine Riddim. Stephens has a daughter, Kelly, born in 1994. She is in a long term relationship with producer Andrew Henton.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the imaging systems and, more particularly, to the recording of X-ray images.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the conventional X-ray analysis of objects or tissues, an X-ray image is formed by causing X-rays to traverse the object or tissue by which the X-rays are differentially absorbed. A photographic film is then exposed to the X-ray image, either directly or through the intermediary of a fluorescent screen activated by the X-ray image. A recent system, in particular, makes use of an ultraviolet phosphor screen activated by the X-ray image, in combination with a photographic film sensitive to the ultraviolet light. However, photographic films are expensive and have limited enhancement capabilities.
One prior art arrangement for the electrostatic recording of X-ray images utilizes a cathode and an anode spaced with a gas-filled gap therebetween, with a voltage being applied across the cathode and the anode. The cathode is made of, or coated with, a heavy metal and a plastic sheet is adjacent to the anode. A pattern of X-rays is directed on the heavy metal cathode which emits phhotoelectrons in response thereto. The photoelectrons are accelerated across the gas-filled gap and strike the gas molecules, forming ion-electron pairs and producing an "avalanche effect" in the gas. As a result thereof, a pattern of electric charges corresponding to the pattern of X-rays is deposited on the plastic sheet adjacent to the anode. After exposure, the cathode is removed and the electrostatic charge on the plastic layer is developed by means of conventional xerographic techniques.
The principal disadvantage of such an arrangement is that the heavy metal directly excited by the X-rays emits a small number of photoelectrons per each incident X-ray photon. As a matter of fact, the electron escape length in all solids is much shorter than the X-ray absorption length. Hence, only those X-rays which are absorbed within a few microns of the cathode surface have the chance of producing a photoelectron. As a result thereof, the efficiency of such a heavy metal cathode is very poor, i.e., the number of photoelectrons emitted by the heavy metal cathode for each X-ray photon impinging thereupon, is low. Accordingly, the quality of the recording is poor.
Another prior art arrangement makes use of an electrode comprising a layer of a fluorescent material adjacent to a layer of a photoelectric film. The X-ray image is converted into a visible light image by means of the fluorescent material; the visible light image is converted into an electron image by means of the photoelectric film. The electrons are then accelerated by a series of focusing elements and strike on a fluorescent screen, where they produce a great-intensity image which may be easily photographed. The electrode, the focusing elements, and the fluorescent screen are enclosed within an evacuated envelope. The principal disadvantages of this arrangement are the need for an evacuated envelope which, for medical applications, must be very bulky and expensive and, moreover, the need for an expensive photographic film. It is to be noted that the photoelectric film used in the electrode of this prior art arrangement cannot be exposed to air, since it would be destroyed by oxidation. Accordingly, such an electrode cannot be used for all applications in which the electrodes must be exposed to air. In particular, it cannot be used in combination with the electrostatic recording system of X-ray images discussed above, since in that system the cathode must be removed and exposed to air for developing the image.
Another prior art arrangement consists of two planar parallel metal electrodes, with the gap between the electrodes filled with high pressure xenon gas, with an electric field applied across the gap, and with a plastic sheet adjacent to one of the electrodes. X-rays are absorbed in the xenon gas and each X-ray photon produces many electron-ion pairs. The electric field accelerates the electrons (or the ions, according to the field polarity) to the plastic sheet. The charge image on the plastic sheet is subsequently developed with conventional xerographic techniques. The principal disadvantages of this arrangement are the need for a high pressure in the gas, which results in the need for a thick, but X-ray transparent, window and the high cost of xenon gas. After each exposure the xenon gas must be recovered and repurified; accordingly, a complicated and expensive purification system is required.
It is an object of this invention to provide a device for recording X-ray images on a low-cost recording material.
It is another object of this invention to provide a device for X-ray recording which permits obtaining sharp-edge images.
It is another object of this invention to provide a device for X-ray recording utilizing a liquid-sensitive electron-emissive material which is air-exposable.
It is another object of this invention to provide an air-exposable X-ray sensitive electrode having a high emissivity with respect to the energy of the X-ray.
In accordance with this invention there is provided an improved device for the electrostatic recording of X-ray images, which comprises an electrode and a sheet of insulating material spaced apart with a gas-filled gap therebetween, an electric field being applied across the gap. The electrode comprises a layer of a fluorescent material and a layer of an air-exposable photoemitting material.
The single FIGURE schematically represents a device in accordance with the preferred embodiment.
The device of the FIGURE includes an X-ray source 10 and two electrodes 14, 22. A frame (not shown) is provided to maintain the electrodes 14, 22 spaced apart and with a gap 19 therebetween. The electrode 14 comprises four adjacent layers 15, 16, 17, 18. The layer 15 is made of a light metal transparent to the X-rays (for example, aluminum), and supports the layer 16, made of an ultraviolet-emitting fluorescent material. Layer 17 is made of a material transparent to ultraviolet light (for example, quartz) and supports a layer 18 of a photoelectric material capable of emitting electrons by the action of the ultraviolet light. Layers 17 and 18 should be thinner than layer 16.
The electrode 22 is in the form of a plate of a conductive material. A sheet 21 of insulating material (for example, mylarTM, polyester film) is adjacent the electrode 22 and is so mounted as to be easily removed from plate 22.
The ultraviolet-emitting fluorescent material of layer 16 can be, for example, a compound such as barium sulfate doped with lead (BaSO4 :Pb), but it is understood that also other compounds having the characteristic of emitting in the ultraviolet spectral region may be used. The photoelectric material of layer 18 can be, for example, cadmium telluride or cesium iodide, or any other photoelectric material whose photoelectric properties are not altered by contact with air.
In the preferred embodiment, the electrode 14 and the sheet of insulating material 21 are exposed to the surrounding atmosphere, so that the gap 19 is filled with air at atmospheric pressure. However, the operation of the device is not altered if the gap 19 is filled with a gas other than air. In such a case, the device shall comprise an envelope enclosing electrodes 14 and 22 and a system for maintaining a desired pressure within the envelope, the value of the pressure being selected as discussed below.
An electric field is applied across gap 19, for example by means of a voltage generator 20 connected between layer 15 and electrode 22. The polarity of the generator 20 shall be such as to accelerate photoelectrons emitted from the layer of the photoelectric material 18 towards the insulating sheet 21.
The value of voltage V of generator 20, the length d of gap 19, and the pressure of the gas filling gap 19 shall be such that photoelectrons emitted from the photoelectric material of layer 16 will cause an avalanche effect in the gas filling gap 19. Examples of such values are: a range from 500 to 3000 volts for voltage V; a range from five-tenths of a millimeter to 1 millimeter for length d, and 1 atmosphere for the gas pressure.
In the operation, the X-ray source 10 emits a beam 11 of X-rays against an object 12 to be examined. The beam 13 emerging from object 12 is modulated in amplitude in accordance with the differential absorption of X-rays by the various areas of object 12. the modulated X-rays of beam 13 impinge on the electrode 14. They traverse layer 15 without appreciable attenuation and impinge on the fluorescent layer 16. The fluorescent layer 16 absorbs a relevant percentage of the energy of the X-rays of beam 13 and, as a result thereof, emits a large number of photons in the ultraviolet spectrum range. Such photons traverse the transparent layer 17 without appreciable attenuation and impinge on the photoelectric film 18. As a result thereof, the photoelectric film 18 emits photoelectrons in the gap 19. Such photoelectrons are accelerated by the electric field across gap 19 and strike the air molecules in gap 19, creating ion-electron pairs. The newly formed electrons strike other air molecules, causing an avalanche effect in the air of gap 19. As a result thereof, on the insulating layer 21 there is formed an electric charge image whose local intensity is proportional to the corresponding absorption of X-rays by the object 12.
After exposure, the insulating layer 21 is removed and the electrostatic image thereon is developed with conventional xerographic techniques.
The efficiency of electrode 14 (i.e., the number of photoelectrons emitted by the photosensitive layer 18 for each X-ray photon impinging on the electrode 14) is much higher than in the heavy metal electrode used in the prior art electrostatic recording system. This is the result of the combination of the ultraviolet fluorescent layer 16, which multiplies the number of photons in the X-ray beam 15 by converting them from the X-ray to the ultraviolet spectral region, with the ultraviolet-responsive photoelectric layer 18. Accordingly, the intensity of the electrostatic image formed on the insulating sheet 21 is high, resulting in a good quality xerographic reproduction. Due to the edge enhancement characteristic of the xerographic process, the reproduction enhances the contours of the image and is particularly suitable for diagnostic purposes.
While the invention has been described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, many modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications or changes as fall within the sphere and scope of the invention.

Petty Officer Third Class Travis Obendorf died in a Seattle hospital Dec. 18 as a result of injuries he sustained during search and rescue operations near Amak Island, Alaska, Nov. 11, while serving aboard Coast Guard Cutter Waesche.
Obendorf's family was by his side when he passed away in Swedish Hospital following surgery.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Petty Officer Obendorf's family and his shipmates aboard Coast Guard Cutter Waesche during this difficult time," said Vice Adm. Paul Zukunft, commander, U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area.
At the time of his injury, Waesche personnel were conducting small boat operations to assist the disabled fishing vessel Alaska Mist with 22 mariners aboard. During the first transfer of passengers, Obendorf was injured while recovering the small boat. A Coast Guard helicopter crew transported him to Cold Bay for a commercial medevac to Anchorage and further medical care. Obendorf's family arrived in Anchorage shortly thereafter. He was then transferred to Swedish Hospital Dec. 6 for continued medical care.
"Petty Officer Obendorf's selfless actions directly contributed to rescuing five mariners in distress. His willingness to assist others, even amidst the dangerous environment of the Bering Sea, truly embodies the Coast Guard's core values," said Waesche's commanding officer, Capt. John McKinley. "Travis will be sadly missed."
The Coast Guard is investigating the incident.

I have naturally dark brown hair, but have lightened it to medium or light brown. I really liked the way that the 6.1 French Eclair turned out for me. My hair never lightens well when I do it myself and I always get a reddish result, so I was expecting the worst. Maybe because of that I was extra careful to place the highlights so that that they were subtle and I only left it on for 15 minutes before washing them out. Besides the base color being a little dark, I am pretty happy with this product and it is a great value. I would not recommend this color for people with very dark brown hair however, unless you have lightened your hair extensively in the past.
