It's often said that experience is the best teacher. In foodservice, it can also guide concept refinements that enhance an already successful operation. At Boston's busy Massachusetts General Hospital, where Nutrition Services has operated its high-volume Coffee Central unit for over 15 years, a recent overhaul gave the department a chance to use its experience to fine tune what has always been a hugely successful retail operation. The retail Coffee Central unit, which ...

The 9% Solution
Though I stopped listening to top forty radio when I got too old to pick up high school girls, and I haven't watched MTV since the M actually stood for music and not marketing, I've still managed to hear at least snippets of pop tunes. Despite my best attempts to the contrary, I know that little Spears girl apparently did it again, some fellow known as Nelly (what the hell?) has a hard time keeping his clothes on, and a funny white guy named after a hard-shell candy gets nervous in front of people.
So I got to thinking.
If pop, with only 9% of total record sales, can command such obsessive cultural saturation, what would it take for jazz to do the same? After all, jazz fans certainly have a greater command of disposable income than the average 15 year- old girl that pop music seems to be of, by and for. Mobilizing the kind of resources the average jazz listener can bring to bear might very quickly place our music back in the prime and in the process, make this country a wider, happier place in which to live.
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're also thinking that, in order to reclaim jazz's rightful prominence in the American cultural main, some compromises may be required. We'd have to dumb down the music, tart up our women, and require our men to tattoo every visible inch of their bodies and speak in a mixture of indecipherable colloquialisms and profanity. Eventually, one of us would be required to marry Jennifer Lopez.
I remind you, however, that one of the defining characteristics of pop culture is transience. Fifteen years ago, I sported a then-fashionable mullet and wore my skintight Levi 501 jeans tucked into my Reebok hi-toppers. While you can still see this look in Wal-Marts and on Dairy Queen parking lots throughout this fine land, it is nowhere near as chic as it was back in 1988. A few years from now tattoos will be embarrassing relics, the brand of a bygone herd; and closed-over piercing holes will be explained away as acne scars.
For pop culture to survive, it must be in a constant state of flux. The things that make a teenaged girl delirious at fifteen make her roll her eyes and sigh with the practiced ennui of a liberal arts major at twenty. The trick is to catch on at the right time, and adapt as we go. Jazz has never been afraid to reinvent itself, at one point going from good-time dance music to an atonal lab experiment in music for intellectuals not to get laid by within the span of a generation. If jazz could go from Benny Goodman to Pharaoh Sanders in twenty short years, then shoring up the gap between boy bands and Bebop should be no problem.
One potential problem, however, is the disparity in skill levels required between jazz and pop. Jazz requires a high level of technical ability augmented by years of practice and, in most cases, formal training. Pop requires secondary sexual characteristics and good hair. At one time, pop required at least the ability to sing or play an instrument. Now, most pop stars couldn't sing "Happy Birthday" without an effects processor the size of an industrial freezer or oversinging to the point of yodeling. And they couldn't play "Pop Goes the Weasel" on comb-and-tissue-paper. Rap asks nothing more than the ability to swear quickly over top of someone else's music and look menacing even while dressed like a rodeo clown who hit the lottery. Electronica is nothing that couldn't be achieved by a group of 12 year-olds playing with a demo Casio keyboard in K- Mart.
What I mean is that part of pop's appeal is in its eenie-meenie-meinie-mo path to stardom. Since any semblance of talent or ability has been eliminated as a requirement for pop success, anyone has a reasonable chance of making it big. Just look at American Idol. Can you imagine a television show where random people are taken off the street, given instruments, and expected to riff a few choruses? Or even asked what in the hell "riff" and "chorus" mean? While Wynton Marsalis assails them unmercifully for not swinging it like Louis did?
Note to creatively bankrupt TV programmers: I was being facetious, not brainstorming. I'd rather see another fatuous, unfunny sitcom or pretentious, "quirky" drama than another tired-joke high concept reality program. Not that I actually watch any of it. I've got cable, and I'd rather watch a two-hour Discovery channel documentary about corn than anything you network dry holes are pulling out of your collective primetime slots these days.
But I digress.

SALMON, Idaho — Idaho has called off a professional hunter hired to kill wolves in a federally protected wilderness area because he had reduced the population enough to protect the elk prized by hunters.
The hunter killed nine wolves since mid-December but none since mid-January.
Conservation groups failed to block the hunt in court.
The push by state wildlife managers to kill wolves in the wilderness renewed a battle over an animal that was nearly extinct in the continental United States when it was declared endangered in 1974.
As the population rebounded, wolves in the northern Rockies lost federal protection and can be hunted.

Main Forums > Living With HIV
Participate in an Important Study!
(1/6) > >>
Peter Staley:
As posted in today's AIDSmeds newsletter...The Institute of Work, Health and Organisation in the University of Nottingham in the U.K. is currently undertaking a research project with AIDSmeds.com and we would like to invite you to participate in the study. The aim of the project is to investigate the impact of online support group participation (i.e. forums, message boards, and chat rooms) in the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS. We would like to receive feedback from you about your experiences of receiving online support and how it affects your life. Your response will help us to understand the experiences and needs of HIV/AIDS individuals who participate in online support forums. Results would be published in academic journals and we believe they would serve as important tools in guiding the design and evaluation of intervention initiatives to improve the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS through effective online support.The survey won't take long to complete and the target is less than 25 minutes. Most of the questions can be answered with a click. If you have been HIV-positive for at least one month and are aged 18 or above, please click the link below to access the survey. You views will be treated in strictest confidence and we will not identify you from your response.http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=800992277081It would be great if you could also help us to forward the link to other HIV-positive individuals you know the more responses we receive, the better we know how to improve your life. Should you have any enquiries, please don't hesitate to contact Phoenix Mo at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you very much in advance and we are looking forward to hearing from you!Peter StaleyFounderAIDSmeds.com
Done Peter, and it took less than 25 minutes to complete.
Okie Dokie,Done and done. It didn't take 25 minutes though. Mark
I even surprised myself by some of the responses.
Where's the link to the full study protocol and details of how people with HIV have been consulted in the survey design (University of Nottingham?)

Dragon Warriors
Dragon Warriors Book 1 cover
|Dave Morris
Oliver Johnson
|Corgi Books
|Publication date
Dragon Warriors is a fantasy role playing game system written by Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson and published by Corgi Books between the years 1985 and 1986. In 2009 it was re-collected in a new hardcover edition by Mongoose Publishing.[1] This print run included the publication of several supplements to the Dragon Warrior's world "Legend", but as of September 2010 this publication run has been discontinued, the books continue to remain available in pdf format and the current publisher, Serpent King Games, has Print On Demand availability planned for all the new books.
Unlike most RPGs which were (and are) primarily presented as box sets or large hardback or softback books, Dragon Warriors consisted of six paperback books of ordinary size. This innovation may have contributed to its demise as the books superficially appeared to be some sort of gamebook rather than a full-fledged role playing system.[original research?]
Aside from its publishing format Dragon Warriors was chiefly notable for having a game system which was quick to use and easy to learn whilst retaining enough flexibility and realism to satisfy role playing aficionados.
Dragon Warriors is set in the world of Legend, the same as that of the Blood Sword game books.
Magnum Opus Press announced that Mongoose Publishing would publish a new edition in October 2008.[2] This has now arrived in hardback, and is essentially the previous books collated into one, without the incremental rules. It contains new artwork, some revised material and better organisation.
As of April 2011, Serpent King Games is the licence holder of Dragon Warriors, and has re-published updated versions of the Mongoose books which are available on DriveThruRPG.com .[3]

Books: Original Series[edit]
Books 1-3 were published together and established a coherent and fully featured, if lightweight game system. The latter three books were released one at a time and added depth to the game.
Book 1: Dragon Warriors[edit]
Dragon Warriors (ISBN 0-552-52287-2) was the original book. It included rules for combat, a listing of weapons and armor, and a selection of opponents. The game offered a choice of warrior classes, Knight and Barbarian, as well as the necessary information required to play a Human, a Dwarf, or an Elf. The book was published in 1985 and has 208 pages.
Book 2: The Way of Wizardry[edit]
The Way of Wizardry (ISBN 0-552-52288-0) expanded the original game to include magical spells, potions, and devices. It added Mystic and Sorcerer to the available classes. It was published in 1985 and has 176 pages.
Book 3: The Elven Crystals[edit]
The Elven Crystals (ISBN 0-552-52289-9) provided three long adventure scenarios, as well as a few new monsters, magic, and items, although the scenarios make up the bulk of the book. It was published in 1985 and has 192 pages.
Book 4: Out Of The Shadows[edit]
Out of the Shadows (ISBN 0-552-52333-X) added rules for the Assassin class. It includes rules for stealth, martial arts, alchemy, and trance-magic. It also includes a new selection of monsters, which for the most part are more powerful and less common than the ones featured in Dragon Warriors. It was published in 1986 and has 256 pages.
Book 5: The Power Of Darkness[edit]
The Power of Darkness (ISBN 0-552-52334-8) added rules for the Elementalist class. It includes new spells as well as an epic adventure scenario making up the bulk of the book. It was published in 1986 and has 192 pages.
Book 6: The Lands Of Legend[edit]
The Lands of Legend (ISBN 0-552-52335-6) adds rules for the Warlock class. It also includes several elements for campaign setting such as a complete world map and the accompanying descriptions of far away lands and cities. Sections are also devoted to popular myths or rare items, both of which lending themselves to become starting points of new adventures. It was published in 1986 and has 272 pages.
Books: Updated re-release[edit]
Dragon Warriors rulebook[edit]
Dragon Warriors rulebook (ISBN 978-1-906103-96-5) is the first book of the re-released series. The original material from the six Dragon Warriors books of the 1980s has been re-edited and updated, including new covers and artwork. The new material has been overseen and approved by the original Dragon Warriors authors, Dave Morris and Oliver Johnson, and includes a new introduction to the rulebook by the former. The 8.5" x 11" hardback book was published is 2008, and has 256 pages.
Dragon Warriors Bestiary[edit]
Dragon Warriors Bestiary (ISBN 978-1-906103-99-6) is the second release of the re-released series. It is a supplement containing a large list of monsters from the world of Legend along with a set of Random Encounter Tables for various terrain. It also contains an expanded Treasure/Habitat tables for the new and existing monsters. The book itself is a softback at 88 pages in length and was released in 2008.
Dragon Warriors Friends or Foes[edit]
A supplement containing 36 NPC characters for inclusion in campaigns.
Additional Campaigns[edit]
Published so far are The Elven Crystals (taken from book 3 of the original series), Prince of Darkness (taken from book 5) and Sleeping Gods (a compilation of the adventures contained in books 1, 2, 4 and 6).
Ordo Draconis[edit]
An unofficial fanzine ran for 2 issues, and was known as Ordo Draconis. It was produced in pdf-format only, featuring adventures, new professions, and other material for the Dragon Warriors RPG re-release. In August 2010 two fans who had contributed to Ordo Draconis released a 54-page pdf adventure through Magnum Opus Press titled Fury of the Deep; it is a digital-only release that will not be issued in printed form. These are available through sites that sell electronic versions of roleplaying games, such as DriveThruRPG and RPGNow.[4][5]
Game System[edit]
Like a number of RPGs, Dragon Warriors uses a variety of contextual rule systems rather than a single encompassing game mechanic or dice system. However, there are two primary mechanics within the game. The first is the opposed score system, where an ability value of a character or creature is subtracted from the opposed ability value of another to generate a number that must be rolled below on either a d20 or 2d10. Examples are ATTACK vs. DEFENCE, MAGICAL ATTACK vs. MAGICAL DEFENCE, STEALTH vs. PERCEPTION, and SPEED vs. EVASION. The second main mechanic involves an attribute score being compared to a difficulty score determined by the GM. If the attribute is equal or above to the difficulty, then the character succeeds automatically, otherwise they must roll below their attribute score on d20.
Dragon Warriors requires the use of the whole spectrum of polyhedral dice: d4, d6, d8, d10 (d100), d12, and d20. The game's designers have since stated that utilising mechanics that involve polyhedral dice, rather than just simply common six-sided dice, was an error of judgment, and could have had an effect on the accessibility of the original series.

By Sgt. 1st Class Kap Kim, 2nd BCT, 1st Cav. Div. Public AffairsJanuary 6, 2010
FORT HOOD, Texas - Although the last of 1st Cavalry Division's 2nd Brigade Combat Team members missed Christmas by a couple of hours, not one single Soldier or Family member seemed to care as they walked across Cooper Field, most donning Santa Claus hats, at 1:45 a.m., Dec. 26, on Fort Hood.
The 200 on the morning's flight was the last of the "Black Jack" Soldiers deployed to northern Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Amongst the passengers were the rest of the brigade leadership.
Many of the families spent a good portion of Christmas day either on the road or waiting a local hotel room waiting on the flight to arrive. Yet, for Sgt. 1st Class Jennifer Edwards, a platoon sergeant assigned to Company A, 15th Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd BCT, of Bakersfield, Calif., who showed up to welcome back her husband, Sgt. 1st Class Jerald Edwards, also a platoon sergeant, she has been waiting since Dec. 17, when she returned from Iraq.
During the mad rush to find family members and friends, most people get lost in the scramble for a few minutes. Yet, now on their second deployment to Iraq, the Edwards knew exactly how and where to meet on the division's parade field where the welcome home ceremonies are held.
"We have a system now. Isn't it sad that we have a system where we'll meet on the field," Jennifer joked.
The two deployed together for the year. Jerald, of Bloomfield, Ind., serves in the 2nd BCT Headquarters.
As the two career soldiers were about to enter another deployment, they decided that they should get on the same deployment cycle. Jennifer, who was assigned to the 20th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade, on Fort Hood, decided to be reassigned to 2nd BCT to deploy with her husband.
The Edwards, who have two, school-aged boys, thought it would be the lesser of two evils. When the two deployed, they left Hunter, 12, and Rylee, 8, with Jennifer's parents in Bakersfield, Calif.
"Rather than having one parent gone for a year, every other year, we thought it would be better on them for both of us just to be gone for one year," Jennifer said.
She's spent the last week making sure their home in Killeen was ready for her husband, their children and their pets. "She's a part of the family care plan," she said laughing.
Being the one back early, Jennifer said it fell upon her to make sure their cars, which were both dead, could start again, make sure she had some food in the fridge, and to clean up.
"There were a bunch of huge, dead spiders ... our house was cold, dusty and there was a lot of dead spider and crickets," she said. "My focus was on cleaning, getting food and getting it livable for everyone."
The two plan on going to California to get their children and to come back to Fort Hood to get them ready for school after the winter break. The last time the two saw their children was during their Rest and Relaxation vacation where they spent it with their children in Southern California back in August
Although there were separation issues, Jennifer said her children well, and she added that the first deployment helped them ease into the second one.
"I mean, what kid is happy with both their parents gone," she said of Hunter and Rylee."I think they did well; they're tough cookies ... and they had their grandparents help them out."

Turns Out Ron Johnson Did Something Good for J.C. Penney
Judge Jeffrey K. Oing is going to allow the store to sell its Martha Stewart merch, for now.
New York State Supreme Court Judge Jeffrey K. Oing decided today that J.C. Penney can continue to sell its Martha Stewart merchandise, as long as the stores do so using its JCP Everyday label, the Times reports. Oing referred to former CEO Ron Johnson as "the architect of this entire dispute," and added that his departure from the brand at the beginning of the week helped the judge make his choice. The move prevents J.C. Penney from having to dump about $100 million of housewares in a back alley. But the arrangement is temporary; as the Times writes, "Macy's [can] come back and claim harm once the actual sales data came in."

What defensive innovations will we see in the next ten years? Probably not many – there's nothing new in football. But there'll be adjustments, tweaks, and without a doubt, cool new nicknames for the same idea. What is the best defense to use this season? Whatever you know best, or whatever fits your personnel best. Depends on who you are, how you operate, and what you believe. Here's my Top 5 Defenses for 2010 and the decade to follow:
5. 46 Bear Defense
I'm no expert on the true 46 Defense. I know enough to know that it is not a 4-6 Defense (46 was the number of Doug Plank – I had to double check that with the 46 Bear Wikipedia Article). What I consider to be a bear front is anything with two 3-Technique Defensive Tackles, and a head up Nose Guard. At least, that is the simplest way to identify the front.
The Bear Defense relies on Man Coverage most of the time. It is a great run-stopping front, there's no question. But if you're not a big time Man Cover guy, you may not be excited about running it against a passing team. The true Buddy Ryan-created Bear Front also does some funky things with the backers and Strong Safety that I'm not going to get into. A great resource is Rex Ryan's book, Coaching Football's 46 Defense. Go ahead, click on it… buy it, I need the 40 cent sales commission.
With a version of this still being run in the NFL (Rex Ryan with the Jets), and a huge number of teams having it as a change-up front, I would put this as the 5th most effective defense around.
4. 3-4 Defense
No question that this is a great defense. But I don't see much of it. The 3-4 Defense is a version of the old 5-2 Defense, but there are enough significant differences to make it a separate defense. The defense is centered around 3 down linemen – normally a head up Nose Guard and two head up Defensive Ends over top of the Tackles (4-tech).
It also features two middle backers, lined up somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 yards off the ball, over the Guards. Finally, the front features two Outside Linebackers. These guys are going to be more athletic than the old stand-up 5-2 Defensive Ends. They are the natural fit for being contain-responsible, as well as handling the flats in pass coverage.
This is a good fit for a Cover 2 defense, or a Quarters/cover 4 defense. It makes a nice match-up for today's Spread Offenses because you've got a lot of speed on the field. Whether you slant the defensive front, or two gap them all the way across, will be dependent on your experiences and the talent on your roster, of course.
Modern defenses need to get the maximum number of athletes on the field, and be completely adaptable. The 3-4 Defense fits the bill, so we'll put it at #4 best defensive scheme.
3. 4-3 Defense
The greatest defense there is, in my opinion. The 4-man front is the way to go, in my opinion. And the 4-man front of the 4-3 Over/Under Front is awesome. You really need one true Defensive Lineman, the 3-Technique strong side Tackle in the Over Front. On the weak side, you can play another DT if you've got him, or a wrestler-type kid at the 1-tech Nose, a weak shade on the Center.
The ends are aligned outside shade of the end man on the line, either an Offensive Tackle or a Tight End. They're crashing hard, spilling everything to the outside, rushing the passer, and causing havoc. These guys are linebackers, freakishly fast for the defensive line.
The other linebacker-type on the field is in the middle, at the Mike Backer. He's over top of the Nose Guard, two-gapping the weak side B-Gap and the strong side A-Gap.
The strong and weak backers are more like Strong Safeties, that hybrid position everyone loves. One is probably more of a backer than the other. They, along with the two-deep safeties, make this defense so adaptable.
Any coverage, any time. Any blitz, any time. You can do it all. Check out Installing Football's 4-3 Over Front for all about how to run it.
Yes, I love the 4-3 Defense. I understand it better than anything else and can adapt it however it needs to be adapted. It works great with any coverage, but most importantly Quarters. I still feel you can get more speed on the field in a 4-3 (or 4-2-5) than you can with a 3-man front, because of the way the Ends play.
But I put it at #3 because this isn't about me, its about football. And while there may still be more teams running the 4-3 today, there are a couple of other defenses that are gaining popularity much more quickly.
2. 3-5-3 Defense
For today's Spread Offenses that are putting so many speed threats on the field, the 3-5-3 (or the 3-3-5, same thing) is a great way to answer. And whenever someone is looking for the best defense to run with their undersized defense, they seem to always turn to the 3-5-3.
Just like the 3-4 Defense, you've got a head up Nose Guard, and two guys lined up head up on the OTs, usually called Ends. The defense is also called the "Odd Stack" because of the alignment of the Linebackers – 3 of them, directly behind the Defensive Linemen, or stacked. The two outside backers, or overhangs, are going to be 3 yards deep and 3 yards outside the end man on the line of scrimmage. They're the contain guys, and responsible for the flats – the natural fit, once again.
The limitation of the 3-5-3 Defense is that it really fits with Cover 3, and running it with Cover 4 or Cover 2 is more difficult than doing it with the 3-4 Defense (or the 4-3). Don't get me wrong, it can be done and lots of folks do it, but it isn't the natural fit. The advantage is that you can bring blitzes from all over the place.
Most teams running the 3-5-3 are blitzing on every play – at least bringing one guy. Those who know what they're doing don't just blitz at random, either. They're creating fronts. With a combination of slants on the defensive line, and blitzing backers, you can create almost any of the other defensive line fronts under the sun – but do it all from the same initial alignment. The masters of the 3-5-3 are playing the ultimate head game with the offensive coordinator.
It's a great defense, and it easily adapts to the 5-3 if you play a heavy run team. I'm not a huge odd-front guy though, at the moment, so my vote for the #1 Defensive Scheme in Football today goes to…
1. 4-2-5 Defense (4-4 Defense)
If I had to install a defense from scratch tomorrow, train some assistants, teach the kids, and have them going in a week – this is what I'm going to run. There's nothing simpler, and nothing more effective. You've got the advantages of the 4 down linemen, with the ability to plug in those faster defensive ends mentioned in the 4-3.
The responsibilities for the backers are simpler. The overhangs (if you want to call it a 4-4, call your overhangs Linebackers instead of Safeties) have contain responsibility, and cover the flats. Plus you've got a Free Safety screaming downhill on outside runs.
The only difference between the 4-2-5 and the 4-3 Defensive Line is that the strong side Defensive End will play head up or shaded inside against a Tight End, handling the C-Gap, as opposed to crashing from the outside of the Tight End. Otherwise, you've got your athletic weak side End, crashing hard on the play.
You need one true Defensive Lineman, your strong-side 3-Technique, along with another Defensive Linemen that can also be a smaller and quicker guy, playing the weak shaded nose. The backers are aligned 5 yards off the ball, outside shade of the Guards, playing the open gap to their side. Everyone plays one gap, unlike the 4-3 Defense. That 6-man box is solid, and doesn't have to change versus any offensive formation.
The coverage in the 4-2-5 is the same as the 3-5-3. Its not impossible to run a 2-high coverage, but the natural fit is the Cover 3. The blitz possibilities aren't as varied as they are with the 3-5-3, but the presence of a consistent 4-man front lends itself to better run stopping ability.
Most teams are going to face everything from Spread Offensive attacks, to Wing-T, Double Wing, I-Formation and anything else. The 4-2-5 is easy to adapt to all of these, while that 6-man box never has to change a bit. You can use a wide variety of blitzes, as well as any coverage under the sun (though I'd still base out of Cover 3, but thats just me).
Simple for your guys, complex for the opponent, and adaptable to anybody… the #1 Defense in Football today is the 4-2-5 Defense. Strengthen your defense with our #1 Defensive Scheme. Get Coaching Football's 4-2-5 Defense eBook.
Honorable Mention:
5-2 Monster Defense – Who still runs this? I don't know. But they're out there. After all, its not that different from the 3-4, so you can adapt it. I like the "Monster" part.
Double Eagle Flex – Who runs this? I don't know that either, but when I read the book on this one (Coaching Football's Double Eagle Flex Defense), I was completely fascinated. Its got some cool stuff going on. And it also has a cool nickname, the "Desert Swarm."

BACKGROUND: Fecal incontinence is a socially devastating problem that can be cured by the artificial bowel sphincter in selected cases.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates short- and long-term morbidity and functional results of the artificial bowel sphincter.
DESIGN: This study is a retrospective evaluation of consecutive patients.
SETTINGS: This study was conducted at 2 academic colorectal units.
PATIENTS: Between May 2003 and July 2010, all consecutive patients who underwent artificial bowel sphincter implantation for severe fecal incontinence were included in the study.
INTERVENTION: The artificial bowel sphincter was implanted through 2 incisions made in the perineum and suprapubic area.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Patients were reviewed at months 1, 6, and 12, and then annually. Mortality, morbidity (early infection within the first 30 days after implant, and late thereafter), and reoperations including explantations were analyzed. Anal continence was evaluated by means of the Cleveland Clinic Florida score. Mean follow-up was 38 months (range, 12–98).
RESULTS: Between May 2003 and July 2010, 21 consecutive patients with a mean age of 51 years (range, 23–71) underwent surgery. There was no mortality. All patients presented with at least 1 complication. Infection or cutaneous ulceration occurred in 76% of patients, perineal pain in 29%, and rectal evacuation disorders in 38%. The artificial bowel sphincter was definitely explanted from 17 patients (81%). The artificial sphincter was able to be activated in 17 patients (81%), and continence was satisfactory at 1 year in those who still had their sphincter in place (n = 12).
CONCLUSION: There is a very high rate of morbidity and explantation after implantation of an artificial bowel sphincter for fecal incontinence. Four of 21 patients who still had an artificial sphincter in place had satisfactory continence at a mean follow-up of 38 months.

Since from construction the tangent bundle is locally diffeomorphic to the product of the base manifold G and the identity fiber g, you need only to show that the map is globally one to one. This is easily verified by the fact that .
Let G be a Lie Group and g his Lie Algebra, that is the tangent space at I have to show that the map : G x g -> TG, , (whereas
with L_h left multiplication )
is a diffeomorphism and a linear isomorphism on each fibre.
I'm really hopeless! I don't know how i can show this property's of .
Do you know some books or links, where i can read the proof? Or can you please explain it to me?
thank you for your help! I could show that the map is bijective. But i don't see why it is diffeomorphic, even locally diffeomorphic?
Now i have to show that is a linear isomorphism on each fiber.
I suppose that fiber doesn't mean , because is bijective. So what does fiber means here?
A bundle is DEFINED to be locally trivial, that is, locally diffeomorphic to the product of the base space and any of the fiber spaces( since all the fibers are isomorphic). In your case, the base space is G and the fiber at identity is g, the tangent plane. So \phi is DEFINED to be locally diffeomorphic.
To see it is a isomorphism between two fibers T_a and T_b, you only need to show that dL_a * dL_b^{-1} is an isomorphism. Intuitively, you can always translate a vector from T_b to g( the tangent plane at identity), then translate to T_a.

Wider, shorter and more suited to professional makeup, very effective especially to create "banana" shading.
Type of fibers: Straight.
Recommended textures: Cream, loose and compact powders.
Its small size is used for a local applications, like the lash line and eyelids. Its density allows to generously grab product and offers an intense result due to the nature of its fibers.
Pro tip: Its firm round end can accurately and easily blend different textures. Professional makeup artists working on the photo shoots, use this brush when applying beauty and fashion makeup in order to get a diffuse color halo result.
There are no reviews yet.

At long last, the Masahiro Tanaka sweepstakes has been settled. The prized Japanese free-agent right-hander is headed to the Bronx to play for the New York Yankees, and his agreement will likely serve as a big domino for the rest of the free-agent starter market.
In fact, it was reported that Matt Garza and the Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract, but as of Friday night nothing was official, per Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Meanwhile, there are several other starters on the market highlighted by Garza, Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez and Bronson Arroyo. As far as available hitters, outfielder Nelson Cruz, shortstop Stephen Drew and first baseman Kendrys Morales are still looking for work with about a month before spring training starts.
Still, the past few days have been marked by several signings by 2013 playoff teams that could have an impact on the 2014 pennant races. Here's a look at the latest big league agreements complete with analysis and grades.

This week I took two steps forward and one step backward! I researched deeper into the world of OTC drugs and identified two additional problems. For that reason, I took a step backward and re-explored the world of 3M, brainstorming products that could solve these issues.
I'm also revising my initial thoughts on what motivates the scientists at 3M– success! I first thought that 3M scientists are internally motivated and that was enough, based on my experience with sports. However, after my best-ever 9 holes of golf, followed by my worst-ever 9 holes in a tournament yesterday, I have to believe that along with a passion for science, success is what keeps the scientists motivated.
Having a personal mentor to keep me challenged and motivated with my science this summer, I have also been thinking about how great it would be if every student had access to a personal mentor throughout the school year. For example, a literature mentor who could provide insights into the required book we are reading and a math mentor who could explain in detail the reason behind a specific algorithm.

Cardoso, Hugo F.V. PhD
In this study, the accuracy of regression equations of developing permanent tooth length for age estimation (Liversidge and Molleson. J Forensic Sci. 1999;44:917) is tested on a sample of 88 Portuguese juvenile skeletons of known age at death. Results reveal an overall high accuracy for the method, showing an average difference between estimated and chronological age between 0.56 and 0.05 years, when using single teeth and 0.16 years, when using all available teeth. Accuracy tests indicate that age estimates can be obtained within ±0.17 years with a 95% confidence interval when several teeth are used. Overall between-tooth agreement in age estimates decreases with increasing age but there is less variability of estimates with more teeth contributing to overall mean age. However, there is a tendency for overestimation of age of younger individuals (<6 years) and of age obtained from half of the dentition. Although the advantages of this technique probably make it the preferred method of age estimation of human immature skeletal remains, when microstructural methods are not an option, a possible positive secular trend effect and differences in socioeconomic conditions detected between populations may warrant caution in its applicability to modern forensic cases.

Vertical Mailboxes
Answer: You will need to contact your local postal service to inquire.
Question: Do you sell just the portion of the mailbox that holds magazines/newspapers?? Basically, just the container that goes under the mailbox. Thanks!
Answer: That style of vertical mailboxes have been discontinued and most parts and accessories are no longer being made.
Question: Are 4C Pedestal Mailboxes available?
Answer: Yes, please view our 4C Pedestal Mailboxes. Thank you.
Question: Do you have any with nine vertical slots and 3 slots. We would need stands for them as well. I am talking about two 9 slots, two 3 slots and one 18-slot one. This is what we would need. And is there a price breakdown for this order? We would need nice and strong ones.
Answer: Please give us a call to discuss these details.
Question: Do you have 20 recessed vertical boxes?
Answer: No, the largest vertical mailboxes in production in the US are 7-door units.
Question: Do you have a 2-door mailbox for a duplex?
Answer: Not in a vertical. The three door is the smallest made; however, you could turn the third door into an outgoing mailbox by adding a mailslot. This would give you two tenant door and an outgoing compartment.
Question: Need 1 set of 8 standard vertical recessed mailboxes
Answer: The USPS does not approve an 8 unit vertical mailbox system. The best option for having a 8 tenant doors will be 2 x 4 tennant door vertical mailbox.
Question: I can't find anything on your site that speaks of locks and keys. Can a standard locally purchase lock fit your boxes? Can keys to your locks be reproduced locally? How can I find info on your locks and keys?
Answer: Hi Tom, with regards to your question about locks and keys for vertical mailboxes, please view this Screencast (click link) for a full answer.
Question: Do you have any 8-door surface mount verticle mailboxes? I'm looking for the best price and still reasonable quality.
Answer: No, anything over 7 is not up to current regulations.
Question: Do you sell 2-door recessed vertical boxes?
Answer: No, the three door is the smallest made.
Question: We need small horizontal mailbox, brass, for 6 customers. The space is limited; we need the ones that hold letter/legal size only, no newspapers and packages.
Answer: The 8-door brass mailbox is the smallest available.
Question: I need an 8-unit mailbox for a Mechanic shop with regular mail; it will be mounted on a wall (exterior). What model can you suggest?
Answer: Two of the 4-Door Vertical Mailboxes is the most cost efficient if you have approval from your local USPS to install.
Question: Can these be customized to have six boxes rather than five? Can they be stacked? We have 12 apartments in the building.
Answer: Yes, a six-door unit is available and they may be stacked 2 rows high.
Question: I currently have 2 banks of 12 (6 over 6) verticle mailboxes at our condominium in Florida (Century Village). These banks of 12 are 26" wide by 36 tall each. The two banks are butted together for an overall slot width of 52" wide by 36" tall. Do you have a product to replace my boxes from the middle 1970s?
Answer: These are the only vertical mailboxes we sell on our site.We offer Auth-Florence and Salsbury brand.
Question: I need an 8-door recessed vertical mailbox.
Answer: We do not sell an 8-door vertical box. You can purchase two 4 doors and install them together.
Question: Please provide installation details for Miami, Florida.
Answer: We do not have any relationship with installation companies.
Question: I'm looking for a 4 vertical mailbox to replace what is there. But the one I have has a large opening on top that mailman has a key to, he opens with one key and drops mail down into four boxes. Do you have any like that?
Answer: Yes we do. Here is the SKU: WL-3504BSUBM . This is a surface mount; there is also recessed mount and other colors available.
Question: Do you carry self -adhesive name tags for commercial mailboxes?e
Answer: In our keyword search, search the word "placard" for results.
Question: Can I get the vertical mailboxes in a double gang? I have 12 units that I need a mailbox for; wanted 6 over 6.
Answer: You can purchase two 6 door mailboxes and install them one over the other.
Question: Do you have a 10-door wall mount mailbox

text: Type C Redondo 98 in 4 5/8 (L5). Frame is 9.5/10, the only marks being two indentions in the paint at 12 o'clock and two at 6 o'clock where the stringing machine clamps marked the frame. The paint is "rubberized" so the stringing machine marked it up a bit. Otherwise, frame is pretty much flawless with a few very minor scuffs on the bumper guard. Strung with Bab Nat Gut mains and Tecnifibre crosses. Great, great frame, just not my cup of tea. Yours for $90 shipped USPS Priority. Comes with blue nylon PK bag.

SAN ANTONIO At Pizza Patrón's 2007 franchisee conference, founder and CEO Anthony Swad unveiled a drawing of the company's store of the future: a freestanding, pad-built 1,200 square-foot unit with a veritable three-way freeway of distribution points: an exterior order window, an inside order counter and a drive-thru window, the chain's first. That au courant design was history just a few months later, however, when a newer, less-expensive and sleeker 900-square foot ...

Low Run-Off Expected
by K2 News Desk, firstname.lastname@example.com
The Bureau of Reclamation says spring run-off in the North Platte River system will be far below normal.
The runoff for the entire system above Glendo Dam is only expected to be 32% of average. Current water storage is about 42% of average.
Wyoming area reclamation manager Coleman Smith says all water users should try to conserve as much as possible.
Ironically, river users can expect water levels to go up dramatically by early next week, as officials begin the annual flushing of the river below Gray Reef reservoir.

Any adult sports at Gregory Park? I'm new to Brainerd. I like to get out of the apartment and take part in sports and other activities. Does Gregory Park have sports for adults?
Link to this answerslowpitchh2+ weeks old
I know the town has an adult softball league, but it isn't at Gregory Park. I forget the name of the park that it's at, but I know it isn't Gregory. Anyways, the adult softball league is really fun, I played in another town a few years back and it was always a good time. Great place to meet people and the teams always go out for drinks and whatnot after the game, so it's never just softball. Usually isn't very serious and always a good time, definitely check it out.

I wonder if anyone could help me solve a mystery. I collect and research rugby medals and have bought two Town medals which were sold at auction in Scotland. They are a Rugby League Challenge Cup Final runners up medal for season 1954-55 and a Rugby League Championship Final runners up medal for season 1957-58. The Rugby League have engraved the medals for each competition, but neither the club nor the individual have added their names to the medals. The Rugby Football League were very strict in how many medals they issued which were usually 13 plus 2 for the Secretary and Chairman.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to who may have played in these two losing finals three seasons apart, but for what ever reason did not play in the 1957-58 losing Rugby League Challenge Cup Final team.
Any thoughts welcome.

Great album for the new youngsters who want to discover Thrash kind! cheers!

No way. It's good but not that good. The song writing and the sound are behind Ironbound let alone classics like Years oF Decay and Horrorscope. In fact the sound is somewhat sterile and mechanical.

Nothing special at all.
Seems to be so. Weird considering how much everyone seem to praise this. Gets very boring from the fourth track. Definitely lacking that headbanging thrash aspect and too much mid paced passages and boring riffs.

Jerome Bettis to trace his bloodline on NBC show
Fri, Mar 9
The Bus is heading Down South.
Retired Super Bowl champ Jerome Bettis will be featured on tonight's episode of NBC's hit family-tree fact-finding show "Who Do You Think You Are?" Page 2 snagged an exclusive clip of his segment, which has the Detroit-born Bettis heading to Paducah, Ky., to discover more details about his maternal bloodline.
In the episode, Bettis learns a great deal about his great great grandfather, who stood up to racism and ended up suing a corporate giant during the Jim Crow era.
Sounds like Bettis gets his strength naturally.
The show airs tonight at 8/7 Central on NBC.

AWESOME! I had some left over smoked chicken and used that. I also added some curry (eyeballed about a tsp) and this was so good! Thanks for the recipe!

Notable People
Stevenson Archer – served as paymaster of the 40th Regiment of Maryland Militia from Harford County
Though William Bainbridge was not from either Harford or Cecil Counties, he was honored in the latter county by the naming of the World War II era founded Naval Training Center as USNTC Bainbridge, a decision made by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was a Commodore in the US Navy notable for his victory over the HMS Java during the War of 1812. He was appointed to the command of the USS Constitution, a 44-gun frigate of 1,533 tons. After the War of 1812 Bainbridge served against the Barbary pirates in the Second Barbary War. In 1820 he served as second for Stephen Decatur in the duel that ended Decatur's life. From 1824 to 1827 Bainbridge served on the Board of Navy Commissioners and several ships in the US Navy have been named USS Bainbridge in his honor.
Commodore Joshua
Barney –
He was from Baltimore, but was immortalized at Bainbridge with the naming of one of the four camps in his honor.
Captain Henry Bennett –
He was in charge of Fort Hollingsworth near Elkton in Cecil County on 29 April 1813 when Mary Henderson, a slave of Frisby Henderson, Esq., was forced to show the British the route to Elkton after they'd burned Frenchtown. She took them a circuitous route to Cedar Point opposite Fort Hollingsworth, where they were spotted by Bennett and his men who opened fire on the British. They were forced to make a hasty retreat back to their barges.
Major William Boulden –
He was stationed at Welsh Point as the British sailed the Cecil County waters on 29 April 1813. Major Boulden had a small squad of militia with him at Welsh Point and made a brave but ineffective effort to thwart the British advance. He had no artillery so his effort was unsuccessful.
James Buchanan
of the Lancaster Militia rushed to defend Cecil when two companies of militia were sent south during the Elk River action. One company was commanded by the 22 year old man, who would later become the 15th president of the United States.
Judge Ezekiel F.
Chambers –
He was a young man and State's Attorney for Cecil at the end of the War of 1812 and had charge of one of the cannon that had been trained on the frozen Elk River at Elk Landing to fire on a barrel placed on the ice in celebration of the war's end. After a few shots were fired someone put a frozen clod in the muzzle of his gun, which caused it to explode and the Judge was seriously hurt, ending the rejoicing for that day.
Rear Admiral George Cockburn –
Commander of the Naval Forces that roamed the upper Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. He later became an Admiral in the British Navy and had the distinction of taking Napoleon to his exile on the Island of Elba.
Doctor Amos Evans
was a surgeon on the U.S.S. Constitution during the War of 1812. He served as a volunteer for a short duration in the fort at Frenchtown. When he heard firing at Frenchtown, while on a return visit home, Dr. Evans and H.D. Miller with a few others, rushed to the fort to lend aid. They rowed a boat to the fort and saw the British embark on barges. While Dr. Evans and the others were standing in the road surveying the damage at Frenchtown, one of the British swivel guns was trained on them and they were fired upon being showered with gravel.
Zeb Ferguson
was charged with treason for piloting the British up the Elk River. He was arrested & confined in the Charlestown jail before being marched by militia to Elkton's jail. It was argued that he was falsely charged.
Brigadier General Thomas
Marsh Foreman –
While in command of the Cecil district, he became involved in the tumultuous Battle of Baltimore. Foreman was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.
Colonel William
Garrett –
The defense at Fort Defiance, and perhaps Fort Hollingsworth, in Cecil County, are believed to have been planned by Colonel Garrett, who was in command of the force that erected them. His men manned the forts.
Colonel Gerry –
According to historian Guyas Cutas writing in 1876, "Col Gerry, of the War of 1812, was a notable Port Deposit man. When the British fleet was approaching Baltimore on the eve of the Battle of North Point, the old Scotch Colonel rushed onto the ramparts and shaking his sword at them exclaimed, 'Oh, Britons, I smell ye now!'" His son Robert was the father of L.A.C. Gerry of Snow's Battery B 1st Maryland Light Artillery, Civil War.
Thomas A. Hays –
served as quartermaster of the 40th Regiment of Maryland Militia from Harford County.
Frisby Henderson,
Esq. –
A lawyer from Elkton who lived at White Hall, near Elkton, Cecil County. He refused to show the British how to get to Elkton, prompting the British to abscond with his slave Mary Henderson, to give directions.
Mary Henderson –
A slave owned by Frisby Henderson, Esq., of White Hall, Cecil County, Mary was forced to guide British troops toward Elkton after the troops had laid waste to Frenchtown. Mary led the way, but instead of taking the British directly to the county seat, she guided them to a fort (Cedar Point opposite Fort Hollingsworth) where under fire the British retreated.
Samuel Hughes –
Owner of the famous Principio Furnace. This canon foundry was located in Cecil County along the Northeast River. It was captured by the British on the afternoon of the attack on Havre de Grace. The furnace suffered a devastating blow. Henry C. Whiteley, in a history of the Principio Furnace noted that Cockburn's first attack at Principio was on the cannon. The British then burned the boring mill, furnace, coal house, grist mill and a bridge across Principio Creek on the Post Road. After the close of the War, Col. Hughes partially repaired the furnace but he was close to financial ruin and two or three years later abandoned the property under a heavy mortgage.
Jacob Hyland -
Jacob took on the task of entertaining, feeding and caring for the soldiers stationed at Bull's Mountain in Cecil County, a company of cavalry set to watch the enemy and give quick word of any approach. During the summer of 1812 one of the soldiers, accompanied by his unnamed slave and dog, slept in Jacob's fish house on the Elk River, with the purpose of giving alarm if the British barges attempted to ascend the river during the night.
Stephen Hyland, Jr. –
Stephen Hyland, Jr., was the eldest son of Stephen and Araminta Hamm Hyland and served as a Colonel in the War of 1812. He was born in Elk Neck, Cecil County, MD.
Miss Catherine Knight
was a Cecil County born heroine who lived along the shores of the Sassafras River, and was buried in Cecil County at St Francis Xavier Church. In 1813, she defied Cockburn and his British troops as they burned houses along the river. Her bravery and bold demeanor halted their actions, thus sparing some of buildings from destruction. At the time of her death a newspaper noting her death observed, "Her appeal so moved the Commodore that he ordered the troops to their barges and left unburned a church and several houses standing there as monuments to her memory for this noble and hazardous act, a maiden fair, with courage bold."
Captain Isaac Lort –
He lived at Elk Neck, Cecil County, and owned and commanded a schooner named the Annon Ruth. Just prior to the British entering Elk River, he had returned from Baltimore on the Annon Ruth and found a vessel laden with flour, run aground near the mouth of Back Creek. The Captain of the grounded vessel begged Lort to load the Annon Ruth with the flour so the British wouldn't get it. Lort did so and when he returned to the grounded vessel he found the British had taken possession of her. He feared the British would take the Annon Ruth as well, so Captain Lort ran her aground and would have scuttled and sunk her, but he lost his axe. Instead he took off her sails and carried them with him to a hiding place while making his way home afoot. Meanwhile the British burned the grounded vessel and the Annon Ruth at Cazier's Shore nearly opposite Welsh Point where Frisby Henderson's home stood. They also captured the sloop Morning Star in North East.
Dr. George Edward
Mitchell –
an Elkton native, Mitchell was appointed in 1808 to the Executive Council of Maryland, of which he served as President. He resigned in 1812 and raised a company of volunteers in Cecil County to enter active military service. In the summer and fall of 1812 Major Mitchell and his Cecil volunteers went into camp at Albany, NY and then entered the campaign against the British on the Canadian front. On 3 March 1813 Mitchell was honored for his valuable services in Canada by being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and the following year was promoted to Colonel for his gallantry at Oswego, NY. Col. Mitchell was the first to announce the news of peace to the British authorities in Canada. The Governor of Maryland later presented him with an elegant sword in honor for his bravery.
Harford's John Montgomery – vthe State's Attorney of Maryland, commanded the Union Artillery in the Battle of North Point, September 12, 1814.
John O'Neill –
Hero and defender of Havre de Grace later became the Keeper of Concord Point Light House.
Matilda O'Neill –
Daughter of John O'Neill, the Defender of Havre de Grace. Matilda is reported to have rescued her father from British capture. She went to Admiral Cockburn and persuaded him that her father was doing his job as a militia and should not be taken away. Cockburn released O'Neil and is reported to have given her a "gold snuff box" as a reward for her courage.
Captain Thomas Patten –
Captain Patten was in charge of the First Independent Rifle Company of Cecil County, which was later attached to the 30th Regiment of Maryland Militia. They were a company of sharpshooters who hailed from Port Deposit, and reportedly warned a British officer that they dare not fire on Port as the "men there were such sure shots as to shoot an eye out of a crow upon the wing." The barracks for the company was in the area of 13 South Main Street, where a more contemporary building was erected and served as the Port Deposit library. The men of the company wore a suit of green trimmed with red and fringed with yellow, consisting of a hanging shirt and trousers, a rifle and a hat festooned with a buck's tail. Captain Patten and his men rendered service at Port Deposit, Elkton and Hampstead Hill. A Cecil Whig reporter in 1913 wrote of this company, "they went through the Battle of North Point and when the British attempted to destroy Port Deposit they learned that in the fort where now stands the National Bank and the Tome Institute offices, there were 200 sharpshooters who could pluck an eye at 600 feet and Admiral Cockburn sailed on from the town."
Oliver Hazard Perry –
Perry built and commanded gunboats. During the War of 1812, in 1813, ships under Perry's command defeated British forces in the Battle of Lake Erie, a turning point in the War of 1812. Perry's flagship Lawrence was incapacitated, but he went back and got the smaller Niagara, transferred the flag that read, "Don't give up the ship," honoring the last words of Capt. James Lawrence of the USS Chesapeake, and went back to beat the British ships. After the battle, his message to William Henry Harrison, waiting to advance in Canada, became famous, "We have met the enemy and they are ours. Two ships, two brigs, one schooner, one sloop." After the war he was promoted to captain and was later honored by the naming of one of the training camps at USNTC Bainbridge Camp Perry in his honor.
William Pinkney-
Harford County lawyer, brother in law to Commodore Rodgers. Ratified the Constitution, member of the House of Delegates and served as a major in the Baltimore Militia and was wounded in the Battle of Bladensburg.
Mark Pringle –
Owner of the house know as Bloomsbury Mansion. It was to Pringle's house that several towns' people fled during the attack. Pringle's house was not burned. It is also the house where Jared Sparks, later President of Harvard University was tutoring. This house was located on what is now the west side of Route 40 at Lewis Lane.
George Ricketts –
An Elkton resident, he was credited with writing the verse that was festooned on a board placed between the horns of a victory ox marched through the streets of Elkton on parade prior to a rather large bull roast. The sign read, "My horns, my hide, I freely give; My tallow and my lights, and all that is within me too, for free trade and sailors' rights." The Ox Roast was in celebration of the end of the War of 1812.
George Washington
Rodgers –
The brother of Commodore John Rodgers, was the youngest child of Col. John Rodgers and his wife Elizabeth Reynolds. He was born at Rodgers Tavern in Perryville Cecil County in 1787, his family having moved to Cecil County in 1780. George Washington Rodgers served in the United States Navy like his brother and was promoted to Captain in 1825. He was the commander of the Firefly during the War of 1812. A volume containing sailing instructions for the Firefly and other ships in the fleet and how to sail information with other ships and fog signals, part of George Washington Rodgers Navy documentation, is housed at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. He, too, became a Commodore in the United States Navy and married the sister of Commodores Oliver Hazard and Matthew C. Perry, Anne Perry. Several of his sons, grandsons and great-grandsons became Naval officers, as well.
Commodore John Rodgers –
John was the son of Colonel John Rodgers, the founder of the Rodgers family in Maryland. A few years before the American Revolution he was living on a farm in Baltimore County two miles from Lower Susquehanna Ferry. This little village was situated on the west bank of the Susquehanna near its mouth and on the Philadelphia-Baltimore post road, for many years the chief thoroughfare between the North and the South. About 1774, Rodgers moved to the village and opened a tavern. His house was sacked during the May 3, 1813 attack. He was the first of many naval leaders of the Rodgers family. He sailed the Atlantic during the war and his younger brother George Washington Rodgers served in the Navy as well.
• Harford County men also served on private ships which held a "Letter of Marque." This document from the President of the United States gave the ship's Captain the power to "seize and take any armed or unarmed British vessel, public or private…."
Harford County men also served in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army and became prisoners of the King. Dragoon Henry Welsh (or Welsch) and sailors Thomas Stevenson and Samuel McCoates are a few of the true Americans imprisoned by the British.
Thomas Jefferson Sample
was too young to be part of the militia in 1813, but shared his remembrances of the British intrusions in Cecil County through diary entries. He witnessed the burning of Frenchtown, and skirmishes at Head of Elk. He later became a judge.
Mrs. Sears –
Operated Sears tavern at the time of the attack on Havre de Grace.
Robert Smith-
Secretary of the Navy – Smith was a resident of Sepsutia Island and he served as Secretary of the Navy from 1801-1809. He prepared the Navy to fight the battles of the War of 1812. Smith changed the sailor's "rum ration" to "rye whiskey."
Jared Sparks-

Lieutenant Colonel John
Streett –
commanded Harford County's cavalrymen from the 7th Cavalry District during the Battle of Baltimore, September 12-14, 1814.
Col. Thomas Ward
Veazey -
He was born 31 January 1774 at Cherry Grove Plantation, Cecil County. In 1808 and 1812 he had been a Presidential Elector, voting for James Madison. In 1811 and 1812, he was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates but left to become a Lieutenant Colonel of Maryland Troops. He and Dr. John Thomas Veazey helped defend Fredericktown and Georgetown. With two rounds of ammunition for a small cannon, and about 35 men, their attempts to defend the villages failed. They held out for 30 minutes until surrounded. As they retired, the British burned the town and a number of neighboring farm houses. Veazey earned praise for his gallant attempts to defend Frenchtown.
Admiral Sir John B. Warren –
Commander of the British Navy in the Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812.
Lt. George Westphal –
British officer who helped lead the attack on Havre de Grace, he was shot in the hand during the attack. Depending on whose version one believes, he was shot holding a white flag or a sword. While Admiral Cockburn lay in wait on the Patapsco, Lt. Westphal attacked Frenchtown in Cecil County on 29 April 1813 while aboard the Marlborough and in command of 12 barges manned by 400 men. The previous day (April 28) Westphal had landed at Spesutia Island and acquired supplies (for which he and his men paid the inhabitants). They then sailed the same day or early on April 29 to Turkey Point in Cecil County and made an effort to befriend citizens, but it didn't work. Wrote Cecil County historian George Johnston, "The officer in command tried to make up with the daughter of the lady who lived in the farmhouse on the Turkey Point Farm. She was a bright little girl of 10 or 12 years of age and spurned the offers of friendship with scorn and contempt. The officer remarked to her mother that the child knew he was her enemy."
Lieutenant James Wilmer,
USN, Killed on board the USS Essex, March 28, 1814.
Reverend James Wilmer –
Clergyman who wrote the initial account of the British attack on Havre de Grace. It was printed in the Niles Register immediately after the battle.
Governor Levin Winder –
In December 1812 he reviewed the town speculation plat set forth by Philip Thomas (property owner) and Hugh Beard (surveyor) for the land south of present day Center Square in Port Deposit, and approved same. The plat recorded "A Village at Rock Run" but Governor Winder determined the village had become a port of deposit and thus it was bequeathed with the name Port Deposit, which was voted upon by the Maryland General Assembly in January 1813.
