Annual specific rates for acute rheumatic fever (ARF) in Auckland children less than 15 years were 22/100 000 for the years 1980 to 1984. From 1984 to 1992 the rates remained relatively constant with an average of 45 (range, 30 to 70) children annually admitted with ARF to the Auckland Children's Hospital. This study examined retrospectively Group A streptococci identified from hospitalized pediatric patients during these 9 years. The total of 2410 isolates included 32 isolates from well-documented cases of ARF and an additional 6 from siblings of cases. Results of M typing indicated that streptococci associated with ARF are generally different from those described overseas and involved types which cause more skin than throat infections in the community.

Guitar / Vocals
Burnley's STREETFIGHTER is best noted for their ex-lead guitarist's exploits. JOHN SYKES left the band and joined TYGERS OF PAN TANG, THIN LIZZY and WHITESNAKE before inevitably going solo in ventures that have seen the creation of BLUE MURDER and a string of successful solo albums in Japan.
In the wake of Sykes' departure STREETFIGHTER soldiered on by bringing in two replacement guitarists, Dave Senczek and Mick Kremoustoulis. When the band split Senczek created CANNES and guested on LEA HART's 1994 album 'Ready To Rumble'.
Bassist Merv Goldsworthy teamed up with a covers band for a four month band residency in Khartoum, Africa of all places. A return to Britain saw him as a member of DIAMOND HEAD, SAMSON and slick AOR act FM. Goldsworthy is now a member of THE SLAVES, an act founded with ex ROMEOS DAUGHTER and MEAT LOAF members.
Drummer Gary Taylor joined BUFFALO (as had an earlier STREETFIGHTER drummer Paul Milek) then TANK, before relocating to New York where he formed SHOTGUN RATIONALE with ex PLASMATICS man Chris Romanelli.
The band's sole legacy is a four track EP and a track, 'She's No Angel', on the 'New Electric Warriors' compilation album. Sykes has since recreated THIN LIZZY.

Ok, while you slhoud concede that the Lightning's top shooters aren't exceptional in the Shoot Out given the percentages the following stat is interesting. Of the 9 SO wins the Lightning have, Lecavalier and St. Louis have each scored the winning goal 3 times. Richards has won it once. The other two were Dimitri Afanasenkov (who is now on Philly) and Nick Tarnasky (who?). So yes their goaltending is clutch but so are their top shooters. Also in regular OT, a predominance of their winners are scored by Lecavalier, and St. Louis. This would seem obvious given their ranks in the scoring race, but considering their record in the extra period(s) it's worth noting.|

I think they're half right.Fans souhld show support for their favourite team, especially if its their home team. However, times are really tough for the majority of Americans.

..:: Awards ¦ New England Hall of Fame
Ginger & Lou Brown enjoyed all forms of the folk dance available in New England and from this they conceived the idea, with the help of their demonstration group the Contraband, of bringing the various groups together in one place. In 1954, the Atlantic Convention was born at Mechanic's Hall in Boston. Thru their efforts six other conventions followed that were the basis for several conventions that are still held today including the New England Square & Round Dance Convention, Washington DC, Toronto Canada, and Delaware. The New England Convention started as the EDSARDA Festival in 1959 in Swampscott, Massachusetts with John Kobrock as Chair and Ginger as Programmer and Halls Chair.
Lou & Ginger traveled all over Massachusetts teaching RID classes that produced many of the teachers that were to follow. Their efforts on the EDSARDA Screening Committee laid the ground work for the first N.E. Classics List. Ginger's choreographic skills not only thrilled audiences with the Contraband exhibitions across the nation but gave us round dances: Gingerbread, Linda, and Rumba diRoma.
Ginger & Lou have earned our admiration for the fine job influencing the growth of the round dance activity in New England and, with the Contraband, growth of enthusiasm for the activity across the nation. Today it is our privilege to induct Ginger & Lou into the Square Dance Hall of Fame.

Markleville - A manhunt lasting several hours ended around 3 p.m. on Wednesday when police apprehended the male suspect at the Marathon gas station located at the corner of Ind. 109 and Ind. 36.
Madison County Sheriff Ron Richardson confirmed that police had spent hours searching for the man after suspicious activity was reported earlier that morning.
"We received a call regarding suspicious activity near Menards and Meijer around 10(a.m.) this morning," Richardson said.
The suspect's car was reported again, Richardson said, after damage to a resident's car and mailbox.
"The suspect was followed south of 300 East," Richardson said. "He then bailed from his vehicle into a cornfield."
While his name was not released, Richardson said the man was believed to be involved in several other central Indiana crimes.
"We believe there to be an outstanding warrant for him out of Hamilton County regarding theft," Richardson said. "We also believe him to be involved in a similar case out of Alexandria."
The manhunt took place about a mile from East Elementary. Police said area schools were notified of the activity.
The man was apprehended just as area schools were releasing children for the day.
Richardson said no weapons were found on the man and that no injuries had been reported regarding his suspicious activities or during the manhunt.
"The persistence of not just police officers, but of citizens, led to this arrest," Richardson said. "A big thank you is deserved for all those involved."
In addition to the Madison County Sheriff's Department, representatives from the Markleville Police, Indiana State Police and Department of Natural Resources, as well as off duty officers and several K-9 units, were on hand throughout the day setting up and searching the perimeter near Ind. 36.

The command to watch and report on the Queen's Speech in 3-D did not augur a Happy Christmas for me as someone who determinedly avoids 3-D at the cinema because it is too consuming of the eye and inhibits imaginative, mindful interaction with the film.
It was a surprise then to discover that television 3-D feels completely different. On a normal television the Queen can appear distant and even aloof in her annual speech. In 3-D, it really did feel as though she had stepped out of the set and was right in front of the viewer in an unexpectedly

No. 18 Albany Downs Mason for Third Straight
from press release
FAIRFAX, Va. - Rachael Burek tabbed five goals
on seven shots to lead all scorers as No. 18 University at Albany
won its third straight with a 12-5 victory over George Mason
Saturday, March 10 in non-conference women's lacrosse action.
Burek collected three first half goals to put the Great Danes up 4-1 just nine minutes into the game and she collected two insurance goals in the second half. Jess Antelmi contributed another career game with two goals and five assists and picked up two ground balls and one caused turnover. Ariana Parker scored three goals in the winning effort.
UAlbany (4-1) commanded the second half with a 15-7 shot advantage and 6-2 scoring margin. The Great Danes took seven of nine draw controls in that half as well. The Great Danes took a 2-1 lead with 24:48 remaining in the first half and held onto it for the games entirety.
Antelmi began the second stanza scoring 55 seconds in for a 7-3 UAlbany lead. Parker and Burek each registered two goals in the six-goal half and Maureen Keggins completed all scoring in the game with her third on the season with 58 seconds remaining.
George Mason (1-5) looked to stay in the game in the first half with two consecutive goals to bring the score to 4-3 with 15:33 on the clock, but only managed two more goals in the game. Emily Ellisen tallied twice for the Patriots and won six draw controls.
In goal, Anna Berman managed four saves for her third win on the season. Brittany Pastrana made eight saves between the pipes for George Mason in the losing effort.
The Great Danes will return to Albany with a three-game homestand starting with No. 18/13 Boston College Wednesday, March 14 at 3:00 p.m. on John Fallon Field.

With figures greater than most Series 7 episodes in the UK, the broadcast of Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor is estimated to have pulled in an extra 1.5 million international viewers on top of the 6.5 million who watched Peter Capaldi do his best William Hartnell impression in the UK.
According to BBC America there were 895,000 total viewers for the show which was broadcast at 2pm Eastern Time. This made it the best telecast ever outside of primetime among the 25-54 demographic, and it was only beaten by The Royal Wedding as the best non-prime telecast ever on the channel.
What's more, Trendrr.TV reports that other than sporting events the grand unveiling of the Twelfth Doctor was the most talked about programme on social media in the good ol' USA – beating the likes of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never on MTV and Keeping up with the Kardashians on E!
Getting into specifics, there were 11.84 million views of the Official US Doctor Who Tumblr page since the announcement – with fans creating three million Doctor Who related reblogs on the day of the show.
Twitter activity around the special was double the sci-fi series' season average for BBC America and at the peak of the activity; six out of the ten trending topics in the US were related to the Twelfth Doctor.
Doctor Who continues to be the highest rating programme on the network.
In Canada, the show was broadcast on SPACE, which reported 412,000 viewers at its peak – making it the numero uno network for the key 18-54 demographic during that time.
While in Australia, 40,000 bleary eyed Aussies tuned in to the live broadcast at 4am ET with a total of 200,000 watching the show or its more sleep friendly repeat on ABC2.
So far an additional 41,000 have watched the special on the iView, ABC'S catch up service.
So where were you when they announced Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor? How many times have you watched the special since? Were you one of those tweeting, GIFing and blogging about the Twelfth Doctor?

20 May 2015
As part of the Victorian Government's commitment to keeping the state safe, the Inspector-General of Emergency Management (IGEM) was asked to review performance targets for the bushfire fuel management program on public land.
IGEM invited public submissions into the current approaches to fuel management for bushfire protection in Victoria and suggested future performance targets.
The report makes recommendations which include a shift away from a hectare-based fuel reduction target. It recommends a move toward a risk-reduction approach where the most at-risk areas are prioritised for fuel reduction.
IGEM considers a risk-reduction target as the most effective form of performance target to guide the fuel management approach, to protect life, property and communities.
The Government will now begin consulting with stakeholders, including fire management agencies and community groups to ensure local values and knowledge are considered. It will respond to the recommendations later this year.

Reticulate Damselfish
The Dascyllus damselfish are often purchased as juveniles because they are so cute–but many members of the genus go from being charming little fish to nasty big fish. While they may not work in every marine fish community, they are well-suited for an aquarium with more assertive tankmates. The reticulate damselfish or reticulate dascyllus (Dascyllus reticulates) is a handsome species that is not as aggressive as some of its cousins (e.g., domino damselfish, Dascyllus trimaculatus).
Difficulty: The reticulate damselfish is almost bullet-proof. It will readily acclimate to aquarium life and accept any aquarium food you toss its way. Feed it frozen foods, like finely chopped seafood, fish eggs, mysid shrimp and preparations for herbivores. The reticulate damselfish will also eat flake food.
Physical description: The reticulate damselfish is a deep-bodied damsel that is pale bluish-gray overall with black-edged scales. There is a black bar that runs from the front of the dorsal fin to the anal fin (which is also dusky in color). It also has black lips. The most similar species is the Indian dascyllus (Dascyllus carneus), which is found on reefs in the tropical Indian Ocean. It has a blacker dorsal fin and has blue trim on the scales. The margined dascyllus (Dascyllus marginatus) is another close relative that is found in the Red Sea and Gulf of Oman. The reticulate damselfish is brown on the front of the body, white on the rear with black fin highlighting, and a black spot at the base of the pectoral fin. Both species are similar to D. reticulates in their husbandry requirements. The reticulate damselfish reaches a maximum length of around 3 inches.
Range: The reticulate damselfish ranges from the Cocos Keeling Islands in the eastern Indian Ocean to Samoa in the Pacific. It lives on sheltered lagoons, patch reefs, reef flats, reef faces and slopes at depths of 1 to 160 feet. The reticulate damselfish is almost always found living among the branches of small-polyped stony corals in the generaAcropora, Pocillopora and Stylophora. Groups of reticulate damselfish hover above their coral colony home and pick off zooplankton that drift in ocean currents. Groups of reticulate damselfish often consist of one male, a number of females and few juvenile fish. The size of the group of reticulate damselfish will be directly correlated to the size of the coral head they are living in (i.e., the bigger the coral head, the bigger the group).
Compatibility: The reticulate damselfish is often peaceable as a juvenile, but as it grows it can become quite bossy. The reticulate damselfish is likely to chase and nip at smaller fish that come near its preferred hangout (often a branching coral colony) and may even harass more passive species to the point of causing them to hide constantly (this type of behavior is exasperated if space is limited). Adult reticulate damselfish are best housed with moderately aggressive species, such as pygmy angelfish, other damselfish, hawkfish, larger wrasses, rabbitfish and surgeonfish. Because the reticulate damselfish is deep-bodied and has a spiny dorsal fin, it tends to be less attractive to predators. Occasionally, a soapfish or frogfish may attempt to ingest a dascyllus only to find that it cannot swallow it completely. In some cases, the would-be predator will succeed in spitting the reticulate damselfish out, but in other cases it may become lodged in the mouth or throat of the larger fish. This can be disastrous for both fish species if the predator is unable to spit out the hapless damselfish. The reticulate damselfish does well in the reef aquarium and groups of these fish may actually benefit small-polyped stony coral colonies. Their presence among the branches of these corals helps irrigate the entire colony with fresh, oxygenated seawater and the ammonia the reticulate damselfish releases may be used by the coral as a nutrient.
Aquarium conditions: The reticulate damselfish should be housed in an aquarium of 30 gallons or more. It actually does best if housed in a small group in an aquarium of 100 gallons-plus. In a larger aquarium, these groups of reticulate damselfish are less likely to cause behavioral problems. Keep the water parameters for reticulate damselfish as follows: pH of 8.1 to 8.4, specific gravity of 1.019 to 1.025 and a water temperature of 74 to 82.
Breeding: The reticulate damselfish is a protogynous hermaphrodite (females can change into males). They are haremic, with the male reticulate damselfish defending a group of female reticulate damselfish. During courtship, the male's head turns dark. The female reticulate damselfish will lay her eggs on a piece of rubble or shell near their preferred hiding place. The reticulate damselfish egg clutch usually contains over 1,000 eggs. The male reticulate damselfish guards and fans them, and the reticulate damselfish eggs hatch in 2 to 2.5 days.

"Perfect for this window"
By MaryAnn from Baton Rouge, LA
This was affordable solution for covering this window. And it looks great. It is easy to operate. The color choices were very good. We got a textured surface, and it makes it look really "designer-like". I love Blindsgalore! They have wonderful customer service. They guarantee their products.View this product

He's also stated that it was such an ordeal that he'll never work with John K. again.[[/note]]. He (along with Joe Alaskey) has become one of few voice actors who can impersonate Creator/MelBlanc in his prime, including characterizations of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome Elmer Fudd]] and other characters from the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes. He's also the Red M&M. Even before he was known for all these roles, West worked in radio, and was actually a cast member of ''Radio/TheHowardSternShow'' from 1989-1995. He was also Rayman in a short-lived CG cartoon based on the video games he came from.[[NamesTheSame Not to be confused]] with the guy from the video game ''VideoGame/TheAdventuresOfBayouBilly''.----!! Notable roles of Billy West include* Stimpy, and Ren in the later seasons, from ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''* Doug Funnie and Roger Klutz from ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''* Harvey the Wonder Hamster and the announcer from ''Series/TheWeirdAlShow''* Slimer from ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters''* WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker, Wally Walrus, Doug Knutts, and Smedley in ''The New Woody Woodpecker Show''* Rancid Rabbit and Mr. Sunshine from ''WesternAnimation/CatDog''* Phillip J.

He's ''that'' good.** He even voices an old lady in one episode of WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger. It takes a sharp ear to notice as she sounds like Fry on helium.** He also (at some point) voiced Comic/{{Popeye}}- whose iconic growl is actually ''two voices speaking at the same time an octave apart,'' as demonstrated by West in a Fresh Air interview.** He revealed on Podcast/TalkinToonsWithRobPaulsen that he was a voice match for Della Reece of all people in the video game adaptation of the film ''Disney/{{Dinosaur}}''.* VocalDissonance: He claims to have based the voice of Phillip J. Fry on himself when he was 25 years old. It's ''barely'' any different from the way he sounds now. He's in his mid-60s and yet the very youthful voices of Fry, Doug, and the Red M&M are the voices he does that are closest to his natural speaking voice.----

Check out the above screenshot for mysterious Wii game Sadness.
We've been hearing dribs of info about this gothic-horror-adventure game for at least the last year and a half, and yet it never seems any closer to coming out, so we can judge if the moody, black-and-white possibilities of the few screenshots that have dropped can be realized in a full game.
Today, we learned that the game will be based on the Gamebryo engine.
"Without a doubt, Gamebryo is the most powerful engine available for the Wii. After getting familiar with the engine several months ago we made the decision to choose Gamebryo. Since then, our team has been working on Sadness and we are quite impressed," said Tomasz Wisniowski, Project Manager of Nibris. "We will have quite a few graphical effects in our game, which some believe are impossible to attain on the Wii. Gamebryo helped make it possible. We are firmly convinced we made the right choice."
Okay, so impossible-to-achieve effects... sounds terrific.
At the risk of spreading rumors (that we totally made up), we heard the real reason Sadness is taking so long to release is that early builds of the games caused panic attacks. Some easily-impressionable early playtesters have had adverse psychological reactions as well, some serious enough to require hospitalization...

THURSDAY, Oct. 4 (HealthDay News) -- For women with idiopathic urgency urinary incontinence, the reduction in frequency of episodes of urinary incontinence is similar for treatment with anticholinergic medications and onabotulinumtoxinA, according to a study published online Oct. 4 in the New England Journal of Medicine to coincide with presentation at the annual meeting of the American Urogynecologic Society, held from Oct. 3 to 6 in Chicago.
Anthony G. Visco, M.D., from the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., and colleagues compared anticholinergic medications and onabotulinumtoxinA for women with idiopathic urgency urinary incontinence who had five or more episodes per three-day period. Data were analyzed for 241 women who were randomly allocated to receive either daily oral anticholinergic medication plus one intradetrusor saline injection or one intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxinA plus daily oral placebo for six months.
The researchers found that, over the course of six months, the mean number of episodes of urgency urinary incontinence reduced from a baseline average of 5.0 per day to 3.4 and 3.3 in the anticholinergic and onabotulinumtoxinA group, respectively (P = 0.81). Thirteen and 27 percent of women, respectively, reported complete resolution of urgency urinary incontinence (P = 0.003). Quality of life improved in both groups, with no significant difference seen between the groups. There was a higher rate of dry mouth and lower rates of catheter use at two months and urinary tract infections in the anticholinergic group.
"Among women with urgency urinary incontinence, there was no significant difference between anticholinergic drugs and onabotulinumtoxinA by injection on the reduction of the frequency of episodes of urgency incontinence or improvements in quality of life," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

Two Upper Arlington High School football players signed national letters of intent Feb. 6.
Defensive lineman Nick Milo signed with Cornell University, and defensive back Alex Husted signed with Dayton.
Milo, a co-captain this past season, had 53 tackles — 18 solo — six sacks and a fumble recovery for the Golden Bears, who finished 6-4 overall and 5-2 in the OCC-Central Division. Husted had an interception and 22 tackles, 12 solo, and a fumble recovery as a defensive back and also filled multiple roles on offense. As a quarterback early in the season, he was 17-for-32 passing for 227 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions and rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. Husted also caught four passes for 77 yards and a touchdown.

Buying recommendations: Brussels sprouts can be found at the farmers market this time of year, either loose or still attached to the stalk. Look for small to medium-size sprouts that are tightly closed (and thus, the freshest).
Make-ahead: Sprouts can be shredded the day before and stored covered in the refrigerator. Using the shredding disk on a food processor makes the work go quickly.
Variations: Substitute different nuts or a handful of crumbled bacon (or both!). As mentioned above, this salad works well with heartier greens such as kale or brusselini; just increase the cooking time by 3 to 5 minutes.
Using leftovers/storage: These are great the next day and complement meats and mashed potatoes perfectly. They are also delicious tossed with pasta or as a pizza topping with Gruyère and pancetta. » Read Full Article

BROOKLYN - Brooklyn residents paid tribute tonight to Nelson Mandela at a tree lighting ceremony in Flatbush.
Residents lit a tree at the Flatbush Caton Market to celebrate the holiday spirit and pay tribute to the former South African leader.
Members of the largely African-American and Caribbean community say they honored Mandela for spending 27 years in prison to fight apartheid in South Africa.
The market will also be holding a Kwanzaa celebration later this month where they will also honor Mandela and celebrate African culture.

Compatibility and Installation
AVC Extra-sensory perception Integrating is compatible with all contemporary platforms. It is always installed with screws inserted through the PCB and a backplate that is stuck to the bottom of the board:
When you install this cooler onto AMD platforms, you must use the reference backplate of the particular boards.
Once the backplate is attached and the thermal interface is applied to the CPU heat-spreader, we install the cooler and tighten the spring-screws evenly using an L-shaped hexagonal wrench:
This is a not very convenient process, because tall heatsinks over mainboard voltage regulator components or tall memory module heat-spreaders may be in the way of the wrench. However, in the end you will be rewarded with a very secure hold and reliable contact between the cooler base and the processor heat-spreader.
Despite the size of this cooler the only component that may interfere with it when installed onto the board is the tall memory module heat-spreaders, because the distance between the PCB and the lower heatsink plate is about 40mm:
As for the dependence of cooling efficiency on the way the cooler is installed onto the CPU, we can say that AVC Extra-sensory perception Integrating is hardly sensitive to this factor (-1..1.5°C when the cooler is installed so that the airflow is directed towards the top of the system case):
Well, it is certainly a matter of personal perception, but for me the shape of the new AVC cooler looks more like a Batman logo than some extra-sensory perception.

Archaeology of Southwark, Central London
Archaelogical Overview
Are there any prehistoric features and finds, and what are they?
No prehistoric evidence was found in the lift pit excavation or within the watching brief areas.
What was the nature and extent of Roman occupation at this site?
The excavation area produced a two post holes, a drain and a pit/ditch, all dating to no later than the 2nd century AD. Alluvial silts through which the drain cut, also filled the disused 'drain' suggesting that the site was prone to flooding and indicating that it lay towards the margins of one of the islands occupied in the early Roman period.
What is the nature of medieval activity at this site?
In the post-Roman period the area in the vicinity of the excavation trench appears to have become reclaimed land. Sealing the Roman sequence were leveling deposits, including possibly 'dark earth', followed by further leveling deposits in the 14th century. This was cut by a pit and masonry cellar/cesspit, both dating to the 15th century and possibly associated with St Thomas' Hospital. The use of two early medieval grave slabs, thought to come from the chapel of St Thomas', in the construction of the masonry cellar/cesspit, suggests demolition of the chapel. and the reuse of materials including graveslabs, for other structures in the vicinity, some time during the 15th century.
What is the archaeological sequence at this site?
Natural sand was sealed by alluvial silts. The alluvial silts were cut by an east-west aligned Roman drain and post-hole. A second post-hole, cut through the backfill on the southern side of the drain. A later Roman pit/ditch, cut through the second post-hole.
Significance of the data
The Roman evidence suggests an open area towards the margins of an eyot prone to flooding. The discovery of Caerleon stamped pottery, even though it is from a medieval context, represents the most significant pottery find as it is the first recorded fragment of its kind in London.
Archaeological Fieldwork
No previous archaeological work has been recorded on the site. The redevelopment involved refurbishment which required limited intrusive work, below the existing slab level. Two drain runs, with depths ranging from 0.50-1.06 metres, a lift shaft c. 2.25 metres deep and a goods hoist shaft, the depth of which was only sufficient to disturb the current slab were proposed. These works were carried out under watching brief/evaluation conditions, with provision for controlled excavation in the area of the lift shaft should archaeological deposits survive.
The western drain run was monitored and section drawings made of two faces of the trench on 14th July 1997 by a member of the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS). The deposits found in the east-west leg of the trench were of 20th century date relating to the construction phase of the building. The north-south leg indicated an in-situ dump deposit cut though by a post-medieval wall. Another visit to the site on 17th September 1997 saw the start of the excavation of the lift pit, measuring 4.00 metres north-south by 4.00 metres east-west on the central southern side of the site.
Immediately below the make-up for the slab, two chalk walls were visible, both aligned slightly to the west of grid north-south. These cut through an earlier dump deposit. It was evident that a considerable depth of in-situ material was present which required detailed investigation. A trial pit measuring 0.60 square metres was dug to a depth of 1.20 metres in the south-west corner of the trench. Medieval pottery, including one fragment of Roman was found within the test pit. The watching brief ceased at this point and the developers informed of the decision. After consultation with the London Borough of Southwark Archaeology Senior Officer, a proposal for an excavation was put in place.
On completion of the controlled excavation, the eastern drain run was recorded in section on 8th October 1997. The section along the length of this trench showed an in-situ dump deposit of a similar nature found in the western drain run and in the lift pit.
The archaeological deposits in the excavation were recorded using the single context recording system in conjunction with the Archaeological Site Manual (3rd edition), (MoLAS, 1994).

Live at Starbucks
Live at Starbucks took place in Seattle in 1999, when pianist Geoff Keezer and drummer Karriem Riggins backed bassist Ray Brown. An unusual thing happened during that coffee klatch: another master class, aside from the one Brown gives, developed with Keezer. It begins with the muscular tremolos that end the first chorus of the second song, "When I Fall in Love," and builds to the very end. At no time does Keezer get in the way of Brown; his comping always is respectful of the leader's solo brilliance. But in his own solo excursions, Keezer displays overwhelming technique and he often outshines that of his mentor, Oscar Peterson-no easy task.
Keezer seems to have separate motors in each hand; they operate simultaneously on "Lament" and "I Should Care." To be that contrapuntal one has to beside himself. Another amazing ability is the way Keezer plays with time. Listen to "Caravan" and see if you can stay with him-or with Riggins, a monster on drums, who contributes a memorable solo on "Mainstem." Brown's trademark, triplet-laced comping is all over the place, but his solo peak is reached on the slow "Starbucks Blues," with Keezer comping by gently strumming on the piano strings.

November 2009
Zack Greinke finished 17th in the MVP voting.
Apparently pitchers don't impact a season…
And the AL MVP is…
According to me anyway…
1) Joe Mauer: I am honestly at a point where if a voter does
not vote for Mauer first, then they should have their privilege taken
away. Sure, others had great years. But to do what Mauer did as a
catcher, it simply is astonishing in a baseball sense. Not like a man
on the moon in the 60's. And not like all that butterfly love crap.
But astonishing, regardless. Voters have no real excuse, except maybe
voting Zobrist ahead of Mauer because he led the league in WAR. But
few will base their judgements on such an "omnipotent" metric. But one
aspect of WAR that is "flawed" is that they cannot value catcher
defense accurately, just as none of us can. But I, for one, purchase
much stock in the value a catcher has. Maybe that is because I have
been told my whole life about it, or because I still believe that
catchers are not exactly the same when it comes to calling a game.
Joe Mauer was hands down the best player in baseball this season.
He won his third batting title, led the league in OBP AND Slugging.
And as mentioned, was a FREAKING catcher.
For any of the voters who care too much about a candidate's team making the playoffs…well he did that too…
2) Zack Greinke: A pitcher finishing this high?
Definitely. Whether you think a pitcher can be as valuable as a
position player at this level of performance is up to you. But I
believe it to be true. Especially when the pitcher has a historically
great season. Sure, he played on a terrible team. But the fact the
said team ignores OBP, don't have much money, and are pretty much
sub-par in many of their qualities, should not be a knock on Greinke.
His FIP was 2.33, his ERA 2.16. Greinke is as good as it gets, and was easily the best pitcher this season.
3) Ben Zobrist: Zobrist finally put it all together for a
season. And boy did it come together. According to WAR, Zobrist was
the best in baseball for a year. He batted .297/.405/.543 while
manning seven different positions, predominantly second base for the
injured Iwamura. And although a rather small sampling, his UZR was off
the charts at the up the middle position. Basically, what more does
one want from a player? He did whatever the team asked, filled in
wherever needed. And not only did that, but did it very well. Sounds
like an MVP to me.
But when all is said and done, I still care most about performance.
So whether an 8.6 WAR be put up by a guy that plays only one position,
or a guy that plays seven positions, it makes little difference.
Although I have to admit, it is cool to have a player move all over the diamond and do whatever the team needs done…
4) Derek Jeter: Seriously, where did this season come from?
I was on record saying I thought that Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie
could be roughly what Jeter would be in 2009.
Simply put, I was well wrong. Jeter finished third in WAR amongst
American League position players, and reached base as much as anyone in
the league not named Joe Mauer or Kevin Youkilis. He supposedly hired
someone to help him increase his range, allowing him to get to more
balls to his glove side, which was becoming a serious problem. And
according to the metrics, it helped. The only question I ask is why
wasn't it done sooner? I guess on that note, better late than never
(cliche alert).
What Jeter did at this age was remarkable. First ballot Hall of
Famer, no doubt. Although I wonder how much money he will want to
remain in New York…
5) Evan Longoria: Running down the WAR leaderboard…
Longoria was great yet again. Don't let the Rays place in the
standings fool you. They had a few truly great players, and they
played in the toughest division I have seen in a while. It isn't
Zobrist's fault, or Longoria's that they didn't smell the postseason.
Anyway, Longoria hit .281/.364/.526, and fielded third as well as anyone not named Ryan Zimmerman.
Once again, it wasn't his fault that the Rays finished so far out of the postseason.
What are ya gonna do?
Please comment at my new site.
When the Red Sox offered Jason Bay four years, $60 million, they
offered more than enough for the defensive liability that is Jason
Bay. Bay quickly declined, and decided that his best interests are
exploring the free agent market.
Bay was given a very fair, make that more than fair contract offer,
and he chose to see what else is out there. Whether that be for
location (he's from the northwest), or for financial reasons (another
team may make the mistake of giving him too much).
Bay can hit, and he can hit anywhere. We know that. But we also
know that his skill-set doesn't age particularly well. He can't play
defense, and is a corner outfielder that may need to be a DH to not
hinder his teams chances down the road. He walks back to the dugout
often without putting the ball in play. And he struggles with the
breaking stuff.
Simply put, at age 35, Bay may be simply taking a roster spot that
could be used more resourcefully, especially for the money he might be
getting paid.
With that being said, the Red Sox have a need, and they have the
ability to flex their financial muscles when needed, at least in most
cases. If Bay doesn't play left field, then who?
Matt Holliday? Many questions lingering around him, and more money involved.
Josh Reddick? After he performs consistently in the minors, then give me a call.
A platoon? Talk to me AFTER Jeremy Hermida learns how to use his God-given skills.
They could take a chance on something, and if it works, then it works. If it doesn't, then so be it.
Bay is the safest, for he is a known quantity, but he too brings much risk.
Reddick and whoever else is in the minors would be the most financially sensible plan, but they too have questions.
If Bay doesn't want this contract, the Red Sox should not budge at all. They have more important things in mind.
And that is the future…
Dave Cameron chimes in on the Yankees payroll…
Mike Cameron > Jason Bay ?
An exploration of the future…
Fangraphs had
an article recently, describing both players' (Jay Bay and Mike
Cameron) past impact. And ultimately coming to the conclusion that
Cameron has been more valuable than Bay in recent years.
Why you say?
Cameron is a defensive pleasure, and one that covers ground in center rather than at a corner.
Bay is a liability, disguised by the eyes that watch him, and a
giant lingering wall that takes away some of the ground he wouldn't be
able to handle to begin with.
By the "eyes that watch him?" Yes, Bay doesn't look bad
out in left, in fact he looks like a definite upgrade over what we used
to watch out there. Manny was notorious for taking funky looking paths
to the ball, and making circus catches…or circus misplays, all while
possessing terrible range.
Bay doesn't do that. Bay breaks to the ball, wide-eyed, alert on
making the play, and rarely does he not make the play on a ball within
his range. But what is within his range isn't exactly a lot.
His UZR is terrible. And since UZR has to be taken in doses that
are greater than a year, preferably three, then Bay has been the worst
defensive left fielder in baseball, among qualifying defenders.
And my friends, the metrics don't lie. They may not be omnipotent, but they definitely do not lie.
Anyway, over those same three years, Cameron has, according to UZR,
been the second best defensive center fielder in the game, behind only
BJ Upton.
Not too shabby.
Basically, Bay is a very good offensive player, but gives back a lot
with his inability to be even an average defender. Cameron however,
plays very good defense, even as he is not the same force at the plate
as Bay.
But what about now? After all, that was the past. Cameron is now
37. Bay is 31. Will Cameron still be "better" than Bay? And what
about if Cameron were signed by an AL East tea, such as, well, how
about the Red Sox?
We know Bay can hit AL East pitching. Even though he has a few
holes in his swing, strikes out a ton, and struggles with the breaking
stuff. He still has the ability to work the count, draw walks, and hit
for enormous power. And he does that against any pitching in
baseball. Although naturally, struggles with the better arms in the
game, just like everyone else does.
Would Cameron respond well with the bat in a return to the AL? Or
is his "success" due in large part to a weaker, inferior National
That is a legitimate question, as I am not just pounding the "league
difference" argument into your head because it is such a hot topic
nowadays. Cameron would definitely see some decline with the stick,
switching to the stronger league. How would his defensive talents
translate into his overall game if he hit for a lower average, reached
base a little less, and slugged a few less over the fence?
The one thing, other than Cameron's good D, that is playing in his
favor, is his "ability" to sign a one year deal, two at the most.
Sure, he is old. But is one year at say, $10 million much more
comforting to a front office than 4 years, $60-65 mill?
Sure sounds like it would be.
Cameron may or may not have been better than Jason Bay, it is fairly close. And metrics aren't perfect.
But could we really blame a front office for choosing to bring in
Cameron for one year, rather than Bay for multiple seasons? Especially
if they happen to have a left fielder waiting in the wings?
Although subjectively, trust me, I would want Jason Bay.

Greetings! When I was on holiday in Mexico last week, I found a whole new use for Goody Spin Pins (see my original review here) – creating tousled waves. I was using the pins during the day to keep my hair up but found that after a day of salt and sunshine, my normally stick straight hair was retaining the curl in the evening after taking the pins out.
The above picture was after I had my hair up in two buns (like in the video in my review). I'm now on the lookout for a good surf spray to recreate the curls without having to be on a beach!
As a side note, I also spotted Goody Spin Pin Mini in the shops (in New York anyway) which is a pack of three shorter pins if you find that the original Goody Spin Pins are too big for your hair type, or if you just want to create styles with smaller buns.
Is anyone else using the Goody Spin Pin to create curls? Any recommendations for a good surf spray?
Hope everyone is enjoying the start of autumn. As one of my friends put it, "love autumn in London, it's like summer but wearing the right clothes…"

Yesterday Ubisoft announced Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots. The latest edition of the franchise is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal with the support of Ubisoft Toronto and Red Storm for a 2013 release date on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
We talked about the sweet preview gameplay video, and now we have it for your viewing pleasure. Check out the first six minute action-packed Rainbow 6 Patriot's video below:
The game will revolve around a single-player storyline that "captures the reality of modern-day terrorism and allows players to experience it from multiple characters' perspectives." Trust me when I say the collective G4 editorial staff found this footage insanely awesome.
"Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6," said David Sears, creative director at Ubisoft. "In Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction." He continues, "This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience."
Team Rainbow will face a threat called the "True Patriots", a highly-trained, well-organized group that believe the American government is corrupt. These True Patriots "will do whatever it takes to reclaim their country." As a member of Team Rainbow, you'll face tough ethical decisions in order to stop these terrorists.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots will also feature co-op and multiplayer experiences. These modes will test your communication and tactical execution skills between teammates.
I have to admit that I'm not too familiar with the Rainbow 6 franchise as a whole, but just seeing the test footage of the new game gets me really hyped up. Touch ethical decisions on the fly isn't really something that we're used to seeing in first-person shooters today and if they all work like they do in that video, this game is going to help elevate the genre to new heights.
What do you think of the announcement of Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots? Did you check out the video from GI? What were your impressions?

Guest Post by Sara Jane Stone, author of COMMAND PERFORMANCE
An Interview with Sara Jane Stone, author of COMMAND PERFORMANCE By Maggie Barlow, Heroine of COMMAND PERFORMANCE!
Thank you Love Passion Romance for inviting me! I'm Professor Maggie Barlow, the heroine in Sara Jane Stone's debut novel COMMAND PERFORMANCE. Ms. Stone has done a number of interviews as part of her ongoing COMMAND PERFORMANCE Blog Tour. Today, I decided to interview her. If I can get answers from the sexy Army Ranger who I gave me the best orgasms of my life before I learned he was assigned to be my Army liaison, I can get a few juicy answers out of Ms. Stone!
Maggie: Hi Ms. Stone! Thanks for sitting down with me today.
Sara Jane Stone: Thrilled to be here. I've missed you. After months of writing and revising, it seems strange not to spend hours each day with you. And please, Maggie, all me Sara Jane.
Maggie: Ok, first question Sara Jane. Of all the places to find a one-night stand, why did you send me to a car show?
Sara Jane Stone: Your best friend Olivia and I had the same idea. Google top places to meet men. Car show was on the list and my imagination took it from there.
Maggie: I think Hunter is perfect for me. It took some convincing, but now I'm head over heels. Where did you find him?
Sara Jane Stone: On the pages of a nonfiction book. After reading a review for Doug Stanton's HORSE SOLDIERS, I thought the idea of a soldier who literally rode a horse through Afghanistan sounded like the perfect romance hero. What romance reader could resist a "cowboy soldier"?
Maggie: Don't let Hunter hear you call him that. He hates that label. Trust me.
Sara Jane Stone (laughing): I remember. He set you straight during your first interview, didn't he?
Maggie: Yes. But he had a good point. Riding a horse through a warzone did not make him a cowboy. He's part of a team. Now, back to the questions. I know my favorite scene in the book. It is close to the end and includes those three magical words: "I love you." I'm not giving away too much am I?
Sara Jane Stone: No. Your story is red-hot, but it is a romance novel. Readers expect a HEA ending.
Maggie: Phew. I was nervous there for a minute. Now, back to my questions. What is your favorite scene in the book?
Sara Jane Stone: I'll give you a hint. It involves a hay bale and roasted marshmallows.
Maggie: The s'mores scene! I loved learning more about Hunter while we sat around the fire. And what girl can resist melted chocolate? That scene is on my favorites list too, probably number 3.
Sara Jane Stone: Just curious. What is your second favorite scene?
Maggie: That might be giving too much away.
Sara Jane Stone: Your blushing. Now I'm curious.
Maggie: The hotel room in Tennessee. Hunter was very creative that night. Now for the last question: was it really necessary to share my love of linguine Alfredo with readers? Does everyone need to know I hid my skinny jeans at the back of my closet because I thought my thighs looked a little too large in them?
Sara Jane Stone: Everyone has insecurities, Maggie. The important thing is Hunter loves you just the way you are. And trust me, the size of your thighs never entered his mind. Especially after you slipped out of those jeansJ
Maggie: You're right, he does. Thanks for sitting down with me Sara Jane. I hoped we've peaked the readers' interest today. If you'd like to learn more about COMMAND PERFORMANCE, keep reading! We also have a great prize for you today. A $10 Amazon Gift Card! And if you have a question for debut author Sara Jane Stone, leave a comment. She will stopping by throughout the day.
About the Book
Subject: Chief Warrant Officer Hunter Cross
Mission: Keep Margaret Barlow distracted…using any means necessary!
Ranger Hunter Cross is the army poster child—excitement, danger and no strings in sight. And he's been in town exactly three hours before a curvy blonde named Maggie flashes him a look that says "You belong in my bed." It's a night of wicked satisfaction. And it's a night they can never repeat….
All Professor Maggie Barlow wanted was an orgasm—or three— from the dead-sexy Ranger. Having him as her official army liaison while she works on her new book? That wasn't in the plan. Especially when she learns that Hunter has orders to "control" her. Little does the army know that when it comes to their deliciously naughty nighttime activities, Hunter is at Maggie's complete command….
Uniformly Hot! The Few. The Proud. The Sexy as Hell.
