Malissa Knight Garcia recently returned from Australia Fashion week where she worked alongside hair mogul Kevin Murphy. The Denver-based hair stylist is making waves in her industry, styling her way to the top. Cutting, coloring, educating, and styling all fall under this creatives realm. Whether prepping models for a runway or doing a quick updo for a socialites night out, Garcia revels in the unique artform of hair design.
There is nothing better than hearing clients tell me they get complimented on their beautiful hair, Garcia smiles. I love doing hair!
Malissa has been working in her industry for 6 years, 5 on her own at The Oxford Club Spa & Salon located in the heart of LoDo, Denver at the historic Oxford Hotel. When the Kevin Murphy product line and education became available in the United States, Malissa jumped at the opportunity to work with the legend, his work and products influencing her own style.
Alongside Kevin, Malissa was recently involved with Melbournes Fashion Week in Australia. Her unique use of bringing back such classics as waves, curls, volume and movement to hair caught Murphys eye for a World-wide styling competition. Malissa was hand-selected for her involvement and was thrilled to style the models for fashion week.
It was one of the most exciting opportunities for me, Malissa explained, The experience inspired me to work harder than ever in my industry.
Garcia plans on going back to Australia and future aspirations include New York, Milan, and Paris. Whether print, runway, or salon, this up and coming stylist is one to watch. Working on both men and women, you can book Malissa at The Oxford Club Spa & Salon in Denver.

Walpole Co-operative Bank collects Toys for Tots
Employees and customers of Walpole Co-operative Bank showed true holiday spirit this year, donating well over 350 gifts to the annual U.S. Marine Corps Reserve's Toys for Tots campaign.
The Bank served as a collection point for the gifts, which were picked up by the Marines and distributed to less fortunate youngsters in the community.
The Marine Corps Reserve has organized and sponsored the Toy for Tots project nationwide at Christmas every year since 1948.
"We were delighted with the response of our staff and customers to our Toys for Tots campaign," said Joseph V. Scholl, Walpole Co-operative Bank President and CEO. "And we are proud of the Marine Corps Reserve for their ongoing commitment to the success of this meaningful program, which helps so many deserving families during the holiday season."

text: Posted October 6, 2012 The Israeli air force shot down a drone after it crossed into southern Israel on Saturday, the military said, but it remained unclear where the aircraft had come from. The drone was first spotted above the Mediterranean in the area of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip to the west of Israel, said military spokeswoman Avital Leibovich. It was kept under surveillance and followed by Israeli air force jets before it was shot down above a forest in an unpopulated area near the border with the occupied West Bank. Leibovich said it was shot down at about 10 a.m. (0700 GMT), after it travelled east some 35 miles across Israel's southern Negev desert. Defence Minister Ehud Barak praised the interception as "sharp and effective". "We view with great severity the attempt to compromise Israeli air space and will consider our response in due course," Barak said in a statement. Soldiers, assisted by helicopters, were searching the area for the remains of the drone, which security sources said most likely did not originate from the Gaza Strip. Israel's Army Radio reported the drone was not carrying any explosives. Israeli parliament member Miri Regev, a former chief spokesman of the military, wrote on Twitter it was an "Iranian drone launched by Hezbollah", referring to the Lebanese Shi'ite group that fought a war with Israel in 2006. Defence officials would not confirm Hezbollah's connection to the drone. On at least one occasion, Iranian-backed Hezbollah has launched a drone into Israel. And in 2010, an Israeli warplane shot down an apparently unmanned balloon in the Negev near the country's Dimona nuclear reactor. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/israeli-air-force-shoots-down-small-unpiloted-aircraft-131440054.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Home > World News > Article
The former Scotland Yard detective - and presumably the Sunday newspaper which carried his claims - believed one of the great mysteries of modern times had been cracked.
Duncan MacLaughlin had located Lord Lucan, the dapper Old Etonian, who lunched on lamb cutlets and regarded the lower classes with contempt.
In fact, it now appears, MacLaughlin had traced not the fugitive aristocrat but a heavy-drinking former folk singer called Barry Halpin, a well-known character in the pubs and clubs of north-west England in the 1960s who always addressed friends as "old cock".
In a letter to the London-based Guardian newspaper folk singer and comedian Mike Harding said he laughed until he cried when he saw newspaper pictures in the London-based Sunday Telegraph of the missing Lord Lucan, purportedly tracked down to Goa in India.
"To think that anybody could mistake my old pal Barry Halpin for Lord Lucan," he said.
Mr Harding said he first met Halpin near Manchester in the 1960s. During the day he worked as a teacher and at night was a "musician, storyteller and goodtime Charlie".
Friends of Halpin inundated MacLaughlin and the publishers of his book, a lengthy extract of which was carried in the Telegraph, with calls to point out the error.
Despite mounting evidence that MacLaughlin had most definitely not got his man, the Telegraph, which trumpeted the extract as "the end of the most baffling disappearing act in British history", stood by its decision to publish, saying it was pleased it had stirred up such controversy.
MacLaughlin, who resigned from Scotland Yard after being suspended, and the book's publishers remained defiant, appearing to suggest the real Lord Lucan may have taken on Halpin's identity.
The aristocrat disappeared in 1974 the day after Sandra Rivett, nanny to his three children, was bludgeoned to death.
MacLaughlin was disappointed to find Barry died in 1996. But he was excited again when several people examined photographs of Lord Lucan and confirmed he was the man they knew as Barry.
But there might have been a clue in Halpin's death notice. "Dearly loved and sadly missed by all of us," it said, before concluding in a most unaristocratic manner: "Goodbye old cock."
Lady Lucan, 66, who believes Lord Lucan is dead, said she was "adamant" Barry Halpin could not have been her husband, who was declared dead by the high court in 1999.
"It's unutterably boring. I could never imagine my husband looking so pathetic."
Nevertheless MacLaughlin said he stood by his story.
He said: "I have had 230 Barry Halpin calls from around the world today, mainly from the US, Australia and South Africa. I have had people saying Barry Halpin is my father, my long-lost brother, my son, my sister.
"I expected this to happen. There is no way someone would go on the run and not assume someone else's identity. But I say to people, please produce photographic evidence that your Barry Halpin is my Barry Halpin.
"I have never said that I had proof, that I had found the remains or the last watering hole. I have good evidence, but that's different. We will never ever get to the bottom of this mystery."
MacLaughlin, who worked for Scotland Yard's central drugs squad and regional crime squad for more than 20 years, says he resigned from the Met after giving evidence about the "sexual antics" of a senior officer.

Urban spelunking: Timmerman visit opens door to a new look at Milwaukee
Living in Bay View, I saw a lot of air traffic overhead. These days, living on the Northwest Side, I still witness a lot of air travel from below, but more of it buzzes rather than zooms past these days, as we live in the approaches to Timmerman Airport.
Driving past the 420-acre airport, you can see two TV news helicopters taking off or landing, blimps and zeppelins parked or getting ready to waft up and a steady stream of small craft making use of Milwaukee's second-tier airport.
Recently, I met with Daniel Gerard, of Gran-Aire, the family-run company that operates Timmerman, to get a behind the scenes look at the place. We spent about 45 minutes talking about the airport's services and looking at its flight simulator, maintenance shops and other areas before Gerard said, "you ready to go up?"
I admit, I hesitated. I wasn't sure if I was ready to make my single-engine prop plane debut. But I decided to give it a whirl. I got the ride of my life and earned the first 6/10 of an hour toward my pilot's license, should I decide to pursue that.
Born as Curtiss-Wright Field
Timmerman opened in 1930 as Curtiss-Wright Field, built – along with 24 other similar airfields across the country – by plane manufacturer Curtiss-Wright. At the end of the war, Fliteways purchased Timmerman, and Milwaukee County purchased it two years later. In 1959, the county renamed the airport in honor of County Board president Lawrence J. Timmerman.
"Our main job is the building and the airport operations: the fuel sales, the hangars. That aspect," says Gerard. "Milwaukee County still does all the plowing and the lawn maintenance, all the signs. The FAA does all air traffic. They contract with a company called Midwest Air Traffic Control Services to do smaller airports like Timmerman, Waukesha, Janesville.
"The control tower and everything outside of the building is very strictly regulated by the FAA. We have very little to do with that."
In addition to serving the helicopters of Channels 4 and 12, Timmerman is home to Milwaukee Youth Aviation, Civil Air Patrol Squadrons, more than a 100 private plane owners who store their craft in Timmerman's hangars, gas up there, have their planes repaired and maintained in its shops, Gran Aire's flying school – which accounts for a large part of its business – and lots of charter and private travel, too.
"We have eight airplanes, five flight instructors," says Gerard. "The majority of people coming in are coming in to inquire about flying lessons. There are 100-plus hangars, most have planes in them. Just privately owned by one person, or a group of people, or a corporation.
"Seems like every year we have at least one blimp or, last year, we had the Farmer's zeppelin. During the playoffs last year, the Goodyear blimp was here, too.
The Sky Room bar and restaurant that long inhabited the second level of the main building has been long closed and, according to Gerard, there are no plans whatsoever to reopen it.

Now you, my good friend, are a good one. You not only gut the two songs, looking carefully at each of their details, but you also added even more into them, making some of the best music in video game history even better.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
WOW........ you are so awesome.. sir combee you are my role model for real :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This is a great remix. It's really beautiful. But the volume at the beginning and end are so different that I always find myself adjusting the volume whenever listening to this song. I think the beginning is too quiet and the part at 1:50 is a bit loud. But everything is so beautiful I really love it. The drums and percussion at 2:52 is a bit loud, especially the snare.
I've probably listened to this over 100 times already :P 4/5 stars cuz its such a great song and its really well made, but needs a bit of adjusting with the sounds and all ;)
Rated 5 / 5 stars

Arcade Fire Issues Dress Code for Tour and We're Like Uggghhh...
Win Butler of Arcade Fire discussed the mystery-laden campaign leading up to the band's latest album Reflektor with the BBC, revealing that he wanted fans to experience the album "as an event" akin to when Michael's Jackson's video for "Thriller" came out.
Well, Arcade Fire are going a little bit further to inorganically push that feeling on the audience by issuing a dress code for their North American tour. As Stereogum points out, the "Please Note" section of the purchasing page on Ticketmaster reads "NIGHT OF SHOW: Please wear formal attire or costume."
Hey Arcade Fire, shut up! We understand the desire to control the atmosphere and achieve the desired effect, but just get on with it. Oh sure, people have done it before. LCD Soundsystem kindly asked patrons of their last Madison Square Garden show to wear all white, but that's because it was their last show! You know, like a notable event instead of just another stop on the tour, as Megan Wiegrand, writing for Slate, observes:
And that's the thing: For most of us, formal attire is reserved for weddings or special nights out. Trying to force otherwise ordinary rock shows into the special category strikes me as presumptuous—an attempt to reinforce the band's status as capital-A Artists. But Arcade Fire is no longer an indie darling playing intimate general-admission venues: They're releasing albums that top pop charts and playing arenas named for the likes of Verizon, Pepsi, and Comcast. Asking attendees to dress up might seem to restore an air of specialness to unspecial tour stops at unspecial concrete behemoths that double as ice rinks and basketball courts—but nothing about a routine date in an arena decked out in corporate branding is arty. And demanding that fans old and young scale many flights of steep stairs in ball gowns only to sit in seats possibly soaked with overpriced Bud Light from last night's hockey game seems less than thoughtful.
Butler and company are known for their earnestness and onstage theatrics—qualities I've appreciated in their songs and in live shows at venues both large and small. Nowadays, the band can afford to alienate some fans with requests like their costume mandate—but that doesn't mean they should. If their music and live shows are good enough, they don't need fans to play dress-up to make them memorable. And although the dress code surely won't be enforced (I'd love to see ticket-takers try to turn away attendees whose outfits don't meet the band's guidelines for "formal"), it's still a poor way to repay people for supporting the band's music.
Simply put, Reflektor is a good album, but it doesn't warrant this level of pretension. Win Butler addressed complaints at Arcade Fire's recent London show, via NME:
Afterwards, Win Butler addressed the fact that the audience had, at fairly short notice, been told that "formal wear or fancy dress" was mandatory for the performance. In response, the crowd was full of people in suits, dinner jackets, masks and even full costume, despite some grumbling on Twitter earlier in the day. "To anyone who felt uncomfortable dressing up – I'm not sorry," said Butler. "At least 70 percent of you are getting laid tonight… As long as you showered. That's the secret. Boys."
So, Win Butler has just been trying to get dudes laid this whole time like some indie ladies man?

New York ranked eighth in the country for providing online access to government spending data, a report today from the United States Public Interest Research Group.
New York got a B+ and a score of 89. Texas and Kentucky received A grades from the group.
The group graded all 50 states on how well they provide online access to information about government spending. The report comes on Sunshine Week, a national campaign celebrated each March that highlights the effectiveness of federal, state and local open records laws.
"State governments across the country continue to be more transparent about where the money goes, extending checkbook-level disclosure of data on spending to contracting, tax subsidies, development incentives and other expenditures," said Phineas Baxandall, senior analyst for Tax and Budget Policy at U.S. PIRG, in a statement. "But most states still have a lot of room for improvement."
The report said that New York's annual report on state tax expenditures posts detailed information on "breaks in income taxes, bank taxes, sales taxes, petroleum taxes, real estate taxes and many others, dating back to 2003."
Here's the report:

NEW YORK (Jul. 20)
The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the American Jewish Congress today praised a Catholic Bishops' organization for declaring the 1970 Oberammergau Passion Play "offensive" to both Christians and Jews and a "purveyor of hatred and injustice." The declaration was issued by the Rev. Edward H. Flannery, executive secretary of the Secretariat for Catholic-Jewish Relations of the U.S. Bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Inter religious Affairs, The ADL and the AJ Congress, in a Joint statement, called it "a sensitive and objective analysis of a long-standing vehicle of injustice not only to Jews but to Christian scripture as well." Dr. Joseph L. Lichten, national director of the ADL's Intercultural Affairs Department, additionally called the Flannery statement "a straightforward stand against an unhappy source of anti-Jewish bias," and said he hoped it would expedite "long-called-for changes not only in the Oberammergau play but in others like it produced in this country."
Phil Baum, assistant director of the AJ Congress, said, "The statement will caution potential audiences to view such plays in the spirit of Vatican II. We are aware that there already have been hundreds of cancellations to the Oberammergau performances from all over the world. We are confident that the Secretariat statement will induce many more Americans to reconsider their attendance at a spectacle that is so dubious morally, artistically and religiously." The two Jewish organizations said the Oberammergau play, despite revisions and a disclaimer of anti-Jewish Intent, "remains deeply hostile to Jews and Judaism." The Rev. Flannery, who is also co-chairman of the Institute of Judaeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall University, South Orange, N.J., Issued his statement over the weekend.

A Magna heating and air-conditioning company is being sued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for allegedly firing two black employees who complained they were harassed racially.
"Racial comments, racial 'jokes' and repeated use of the N-word were commonplace" at Holmes & Holmes Industrial Inc., 9152 W. 2700 South, said the suit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for Utah by the EEOC. It was filed on behalf of former employees Antonio Bratcher and Joby Bratcher, who are brothers, and "a class of employees who were adversely affected by such practices."
The EEOC said the racial comments were made frequently by managers and co-workers at one of the company's construction sites, and that Holmes & Holmes supervisors did not respond to the men's complaints about the workplace discrimination.

Social Circle resident Theo Ramakers always keeps an eye to the sky. Thursday, he took this image of the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Atlantis as it tracked across near the sun's equator.
Ramakers is a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador, part of a group of NASA/JPL trained volunteers. He is also the outreach coordinator for the Charlie Elliott Chapter of the Atlanta Astronomy Club.
"Even though the clouds would impact the quality of the image, I had to do this. This is an image for the scrap books, and the history books as well,' he said in a release.
The Atlantis returns on Thursday to Earth, marking the end of the shuttle program.
The Charlie Elliott Chapter of the astronomy club meets at 5 p.m. on July 30 at the visitors center of the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center in Mansfield. See ceastronomy.org

OK for Children
James Cameron generally gets the bang for his bucks, even though the bucks are mind-boggling. This fascinating sci-fi adventure took four years to produce. There is very little wasted on speeches about people contemplating their navels. Cameron's films are action films and they proceed apace.
There are really two stories when you go to see "Avatar." The first is that Jake Scully (Sam Worthington), a wheelchair-bound former marine, goes to Pandora, a moon with an Earthlike environment 4.4 light years away, to work for a company mining a mineral key to resolving Earth's 22nd century energy crisis. Because earthlings can't breathe in Pandora's environment, the company has created avatars to go out into the environment. The consciousness of Jake and Chief Scientist Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver) are transferred to two avatars, so the avatars think and react like Jake and Grace. In fact, they are Jake and Grace in different bodies.
There's a bad guy, Col. Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) and a love interest for Jake among the native Na'vi, Neytiri (Zoë Saldana). All the minerals are on Na'vi sacred land, so the company wants to destroy all the trees to get the minerals. Once Jake ventures forth as an avatar, unexpected things happen.
Some may claim that this has some implications that it is a roman à thèse but the political slant is relatively muted and it could, in fact, be interpreted in several ways. My feeling is that if Cameron does, indeed, have some sort of political message, it's vague enough that it should be ignored, just to enjoy the adventure.
The second story is how it was all put together. Are the avatars and the Na'vi real actors or animation? This is where true movie making science is at least as interesting as the movie itself. All the scenes were filmed with real actors as the avatars and Na'vi. But after all the scenes were shot with the human actors, the animators got involved and 'converted', I guess is the best word, all the actors' actions and movements into the alien creatures of Pandora. When you see an avatar or Na'vi make an eye movement, for example, that's the exact eye movement that the real actor made in the studio. The avatars and Na'vi are such realistic creatures that one never thinks of them as cartoons, or anything but real creatures.
The locale for the film is a lush tropical rainforest in the mountains. It looks astonishingly real but it is all computer generated.
Filmed in mind-blowing IMAX 3-D, the story is so entertaining that I soon paid little attention to the 3-D. It's a rip snorting tale until the final dénouement, which went on too long and strains credulity to the breaking point, even for sci-fi. Even though the entire story is fantasy, it's Cameron's talent that he creates it in such a way that it is believable… until the final battle.

Electronic Arts
Electronic Arts (EA) somehow has survived, and thrived. I wrote in late 2011 that EA was facing some challenging competition, and that, "It's a "buy" for aggressive investors, while others may want to wait for a pullback to increase their margin of safety." If you were aggressive and listened to me, you have a 140% return.
EA stayed on top of its game, so to speak, and is now growing EPS at a 23% long term rate according to analysts. Earnings for the period ending in March of 2015 are expected to be $1.89 per share, meaning fair value is somewhere around $43. The stock trades at $36.76, so there's room to run. The balance sheet remains strong, with $1.78 billion in cash offset by only $580 million in debt. In fact, that's $4 per share in cash, meaning the effective stock price is around $33.

Trying something new
I am a fun loving Italian girl who understands the importance to building relationships, and holding on to the ones I have. I love what I do every single day. Not to many people can say that, but I am very lucky and grateful for that. I like to go feet first I don't always land on my feet, but I always get up. I like to live my life with no regrets. My friends would say I'm always someone they can count on. If they ever needed anything they know I am always there for them. I would give the shirt off my back to someone in need. I am very easy going and can enjoy a great laugh. I am not offended by a dirty joke and can dish out one of my own.
Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Swimming
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign

Middle of the Road
I love trying new restaurants downtown. I love going any place that is stimulating, something that will make you think.
Scottsdale Culinary Institute, Scottsdale, AZ
I have so many favorite things! Tv shows would have to be the Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Breaking Bad, and Dexter! Food would be any type of Italian. Music anything goes except rap.
In my free time I love to do anything I can outside. Even if its just laying low reading a book, or going for a walk on the beach. I love spending as much time with my big Italian family as I can ( even though I can't get a word in)

Clinical Epidemiology Definitions
Return to Main Page
Absolute risk: The observed or calculated probability of an event in the population under study.
Adjustment: A summarizing procedure for a statistical measure in which the effects of differences in composition of the populations being compared have been minimized by statistical methods.
Association: Statistical dependence between two or more events, characteristics, or other variables. An association may be fortuitous or may be produced by various other circumstances; the presence of an association does not necessarily imply a causal relationship.
Bias (Syn: systematic error): Deviation of results or inferences from the truth, or processes leading to such deviation. See also Referral Bias, Selection Bias.
Blind(ed) study (Syn: masked study): A study in which observer(s) and/or subjects are kept ignorant of the group to which the subjects are assigned, as in an experimental study, or of the population from which the subjects come, as in a nonexperimental or observational study. Where both observer and subjects are kept ignorant, the study is termed a double-blind study. If the statistical analysis is also done in ignorance of the group to which subjects belong, the study is sometimes described as triple blind. The purpose of "blinding" is to eliminate sources of bias.
Case-series: Report of a number of cases of disease.
Case-control study: Retrospective comparison of exposures of persons with disease (cases) with those of persons without the disease (controls) (see Retrospective study).
Causality: The relating of causes to the effects they produce. Most of epidemiology concerns causality and several types of causes can be distinguished. It must be emphasized, however, that epidemiological evidence by itself is insufficient to establish causality, although it can provide powerful circumstantial evidence.
Co-interventions: Interventions other than the treatment under study that are applied differently to the treatment and control groups. Cointervention is a serious problem when double blinding is absent or when the use of very effective non-study treatments is permitted.
Cohort study: Follow-up of exposed and non-exposed defined groups, with a comparison of disease rates during the time covered.
Comparison group: Any group to which the index group is compared. Usually synonymous with control group.
Co-morbidity: Coexistence of a disease or diseases in a study participant in addition to the index condition that is the subject of study.
Confidence interval (CI): The range of numerical values in which we can be confident (to a computed probability, such as 90 or 95%) that the population value being estimated will be found. Confidence intervals indicate the strength of evidence; where confidence intervals are wide, they indicate less precise estimates of effect. See Precision
Confounding variable, Confounder: A variable that can cause or prevent the outcome of interest, is not an intermediate variable, and is associated with the factor under investigation. A confounding variable may be due chance or bias. Unless it is possible to adjust for confounding variables, their effects cannot be distinguished from those of factor(s) being studied.
Dose-response relationship: A relationship in which change in amount, intensity, or duration of exposure is associated with a change-either an increase or decrease-in risk of a specified outcome.
Determinant: Any definable factor that effects a change in a health condition or other characteristic.
Effectiveness: a measure of the benefit resulting from an intervention for a given health problem under usual conditions of clinical care for a particular group; this form of evaluation considers both the efficacy of an intervention and its acceptance by those to whom it is offered, answering the question, "Does the practice do more good than harm to people to whom it is offered?" See Intention to treat.
Efficacy: a measure of the benefit resulting from an intervention for a given health problem under the ideal conditions of an investigation; it answers the question, "Does the practice do more good than harm to people who fully comply with the recommendations?"
Exclusion Criteria: Conditions which preclude entrance of candidates into an investigation even if they meet the inclusion criteria.
Follow-up: Observation over a period of time of an individual, group, or initially defined population whose relevant characteristics have been assessed in order to observe changes in health status or health-related variables.
Gold standard: A method, procedure, or measurement that is widely accepted as being the best available.
Incidence: The number of new cases of illness commencing, or of persons falling ill, during a specified time period in a given population. See also Prevalence.
Intention to treat analysis: A method for data analysis in a randomized clinical trial in which individual outcomes are analyzed according to the group to which they have been randomized, even if they never received the treatment they were assigned. By simulating practical experience it provides a better measure of effectiveness. (versus efficacy)
Interviewer bias: Systematic error due to interviewer's subconscious or conscious gathering of selective data.
Lead-time bias: If prognosis study patients are not all enrolled at similar, well-defined points in the course of their disease, differences in outcome over time may merely reflect differences in duration of illness.
Likelihood ratio: Ratio of the probability that a given diagnostic test result will be expected for a patient with the target disorder rather than for a patient without the disorder.
Number Needed to Treat (NNT): the number of patients who must be exposed to an intervention before the clinical outcome of interest occurred; for example, the number of patients needed to treat to prevent one adverse outcome. Equal to the inverse of the absolute risk reduction: NNT=1/ARR = 1/CER-EER.
Odds: a proportion in which the numerator contains the number of times an event occurs and the denominator includes the number of times the event does not occur.
Odds Ratio (Syn: cross-product ratio, relative odds): a measure of the degree of association; for example, the odds of exposure among the cases compared with the odds of exposure among the controls.
Precision: The range in which the best estimates of a true value approximate the true value. See Confidence interval.
Predictive value: In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., does have the disease), or that a person with a negative test truly does not have the disease. The predictive value of a screening test is determined by the sensitivity and specificity of the test, and by the prevalence of the condition for which the test is used.
Prevalence: the proportion of persons with a particular disease within a given population at a given time.
Prognosis: the possible outcomes of a disease or condition and the likelihood that each one will occur.
Prognostic factor: Demographic, disease-specific, or co-morbid characteristics associated strongly enough with a condition's outcomes to predict accurately the eventual development of those outcomes. Compare with risk factors. Neither prognostic or risk factors necessarily imply a cause and effect relationship.
Prospective study: Study design where one or more groups (cohorts) of individuals who have not yet had the outcome event in question are monitored for the number of such events which occur over time.
Randomized controlled trial: Study design where treatments, interventions, or enrollment into different study groups are assigned by random allocation rather than by conscious decisions of clinicians or patients. If the sample size is large enough, this study design avoids problems of bias and confounding variables by assuring that both known and unknown determinants of outcome are evenly distributed between treatment and control groups.
Recall bias: Systematic error due to the differences in accuracy or completeness of recall to memory of past events or experiences.
Referral filter bias: The sequence of referrals that may lead patients from primary to tertiary centres raises the proportion of more severe or unusual cases, thus increasing the likelihood of adverse or unfavorable outcomes.
Relative risk (RR, or risk ratio): the ratio of the probability of developing, in a specified period of time, an outcome among those receiving the treatment of interest or exposed to a risk factor, compared with the probability of developing the outcome if the risk factor or intervention is not present (ie., the ratio of risk in the treated group to the risk in the control group: RR=EER/CER)
Relative risk reduction (RRR): the extent to which a treatment reduces a risk, in comparison with patients not receiving the treatment of interest (ie., the percent reduction in events in treated compared to controls: RRR=[(CER-EER)/CER]).
Reproducibility (Repeatability, Reliability): the results of a test or measure are identical or closely similar each time it is conducted.
Retrospective study: study design in which cases where individuals who had an outcome event in question are collected and analyzed after the outcomes have occurred (see also Case-control study).
Risk factor: patient characteristics or factors associated with an increased probability of developing a condition or disease in the first place. Compare with prognostic factors. Neither risk or prognostic factors necessarily imply a cause and effect relationship.
Selection Bias: a bias in assignment or a confounding variable that arises from study design rather than by chance. These can occur when the study and control groups are chosen so that they differ from each other by one or more factors that may affect the outcome of the study.
Sensitivity (of a diagnostic test): the proportion of truly diseased persons, as measured by the gold standard, who are identified as diseased by the test under study.
Specificity (of a diagnostic test): the proportion of truly nondiseased persons, as measured by the gold standard, who are so identified by the diagnostic test under study.
Stratification: division into groups. Stratification may also refer to a process to control for differences in confounding variables, by making separate estimates for groups of individuals who have the same values for the confounding variable.
Strength of Inference: the likelihood that an observed difference between groups within a study represents a real difference rather than mere chance or the influence of confounding factors, based on both p values and confidence intervals. Strength of inference is weakened by various forms of bias and by small sample sizes.
Survival curve: A graph of the number of events occurring over time or the chance of being free of these events over time. The events must be discrete and the time at which they occur must be precisely known. In most clinical situations, the chance of an outcome changes with time. In most survival curves the earlier follow-up periods usually include results from more patients than the later periods and are therefore more precise.
Validity: the extent to which a variable or intervention measures what it is supposed to measure or accomplishes what it is supposed to accomplish.

Welcome to my Junkyard!
I use this site to play around, and to share some of my personal thoughts. My weblog page contains short works on a variety of topics which could include hardware, software, religion, politics, etc. My reviews page is what it says: I review things, mostly hardware and software, maybe TV shows.
Who am I?
You can read more about me on the "about me" page, but basically I am a software engineer and I keep my own website to tinker and play and share my thoughts about various topics.
Change log
Welcome to my website reboot. I've made some changes under-the-hood for fun. I also reverted to its old appearance (tho' slightly different/updated). If you don't come to my site often, you probably wouldn't know that.
I've altered the PHP and am using parsed XML files for content instead of simple HTML includes. There is a little more logic around loading and parsing files, but it is still basically a "file include" sort of design.
I had considered moving everything off into a MySQL database and defining classes around the content types, but... no. I still might do that in the future but that feels like a lot of work.
I would love to reimplement my site in Euphoria again, someday, but GoDaddy does not support it, and they won't unless I pay them a sick amount of money. Let's face it, this site is not worth ANY amount of money.

Progressivity, Redistribution, and Equity, with Application to the British Tax and Benefit System
We propose a general class of indices of horizontal inequity that complements existing classes of progressivity and vertical equity indices. The class of horizontal inequity indices can also correct for biases in measuring a general class of inequality measures. We illustrate our results using the 1985 British tax and benefit system, highlighting the separate contribution of individual taxes and benefits to the overall indices of progressivity, vertical equity, horizontal inequity, and inequality reduction.

Complete Story
News About Governmental Regulations
Comment from Jay Timmons, President and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM):
Early in September, President Obama asked Lisa Jackson, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to withdraw the agency's proposed ozone standard that threatens jobs and economic growth.
This announcement arrives just as we received more concerning news about the economy: There were zero jobs added last month (August). This is a critical time for our economy, and these proposed standards threaten to send it over the precipice. The EPA estimated that the new regulation could cost as much as $90 billion. A study by the Manufacturing Alliance/MAPI concluded that the compliance costs could range as high as $1 trillion annually. Nevertheless, until today, it appeared the Administration would proceed with this voluntary action and set the ozone standard at a level that would be impossible to achieve.
Manufacturers have been engaged on this issue from day one. I met with Administrator Jackson and told her about the devastating impact the agency's discretionary action would have on manufacturers. I reiterated those concerns more recently when I met with the President's Chief of Staff Bill Daley. Today's decision is a sign that the Administration got manufacturers' message.
The President deserves credit for making this choice. He chose jobs over politics. But there are many more proposed regulations that could have devastating impacts on jobs and economic growth. We need to keep the pressure on the Administration. As the President's decision today demonstrates, our efforts are working.

Militias complicate situation on Texas border
MISSION, Texas (AP) — Authorities are concerned about the presence of private armed militias patrolling the border in search of people sneaking into the U.S. from Mexico.
The U.S. Border Patrol circulated an "issue paper" warning agents after a recent incident in Mission, Texas, in which armed men in fatigues showed up while agents were rounding up immigrants hiding in and around a canal near the Rio Grande.
The agents assumed the men who assisted them were part of a Texas Department of Public Safety tactical unit. But they later learned the men belonged to the Texas Militia, whose members dress like a SWAT team and carry weapons but have no law-enforcement training or authority of any kind.
The incident ended peacefully, but officials say it's easy to imagine a deadlier outcome.

Ah man it HAS to be hairy! It's so refreshing to see the body hair. It's also refreshing to see a nice smile that seems full of kindness too. MOST attractive :-)

Afternoon all. How's things? I've been away for a few days, and I've spent most of that in a cold sweat. Suddenly our PM is the son of a Scottish Presbyterian Minister, hapless lunatics are setting themselves on fire and driving into airport doors, no one is allowed to smoke in pubs, it's June and half the country is flooded, and, I know this is the clincher for all of you, I've moved house. Oh yes, and the West Indies won a cricket match. I just don't know what's going off out there.
Good thing then that somethings haven't changed: England are still deeply mediocre at one-day cricket, and Shiv Chanderpaul is still scoring runs. His 116 made the bulk of the 278 that England have just conceded. It's a total which, given the looming clouds, they'll struggle to overhaul. Read all about Chanderpaul's wonderful innings by clicking here or, read all about what England need to do to become the world's number one side (according to, ummm, me) by clicking here.
Check these numbers out: 82, 74, 50, 116, 136, 70, 41, 53, 116. Not only the combination to the GU Bunker's front door, but also Shiv Chanderpaul's sequence of innings since he arrived on this tour.
"Did it really need two players to replace Plunkett today?" wonders Andrew Milligan, "It seems Yardy has come in to replace his batting at number 8, and Sidebottom has come in to replace his bowling. Good Ol' Monty is the one sacrificed to make way." You just wait till they're 80-8 in the 20th over. Yardy's abillity to grit out 15 off 55 balls as we go down with 20 overs to spare will never have been more welcome. Oh look. It's starting.
1st over: England 4-0 (Cook 4 Prior 0) Ravi Rampaul, destined to be number 33,124 in our ongoing series of "whatever happened to that talented young West Indian cricketer?" opens the bowling with a near-wide, and follows it with a string of pearls that pitch on off strump and swing back in towards Cook's gate. Cook manages to make the powerplay look like facing Ambrose and Walsh on the Sabina Park pitch in 1997. And then, just to spite me, he spanks a four past extra-cover.
2nd over: England 6-0 (Cook 5 Prior 1) Prior, exempt from being labelled a pinch-hitter because he's too good a batsman, but equally exempt from being called an opener because he's not a good enough batsman, knocks a limp pull up over mid-off where it loops over the fielder and plops onto the turf behind Darren Sammy. Cook almost runs himself out looking for a gratuitious second. The two batsmen meet in the middle to frantically prod the turf in an effort to reassure each other that they haven't made too much of a hash of Powell's first over.
3rd over: England 8-0 (Cook 6 Prior 1) "Can we have the Chanderpaul runs sequence again please, this time with asterisks? I'd guess the number of not outs is almost as remarkable as the volume of runs..." Certainly you can Tom Innes: 82, 74, 50, 116, 136, 70, 41, 53, 116. It's f*****g m*********g c******** incredible isn't it. A wide adds one, and Cook pushes another, as England continue to show off their shiny new powerplay tactics.
4th over: England 12-0 (Cook 9 Prior 1) Cook tucks two to fine leg as Powell's line drifts a little too far across. He over-corrects, and Cook knocks a single to third man. Sammy, by the way, is on the field for Chanderpaul, who has decided that he's knackered and is going to sit the rest of this one out while nursing a cup of tea and a sore hamstring. Much like Adamson actually, who, after knocking out a quick 5,500 words for the morning session has disappeared, presumably to the physio's table to cure his RSI.
5th over: England 23-0 (Cook 19 Prior 1) Why is James Benning not in this team already? Who really thought that Jon Trott was a better candidate for adding some upper-order biff? Bah! Back on the pitch, Cook has played a glorious shot, sweetly driven through long-on for four. Rampaul tries to bounce him by way of retribution, but the ball sits up and Cook pulls it through mid-wicket for another boundary. And his latest, a easy-going prod that whistled the ball straight past the stumps for a strolled two is the best yet. A leg bye from the last will keep him the strike.
WICKET! Cook 19 c Edwards b Powell (6th over: England 27-1) And all that wonderful timing comes to nought, well, ok, to 19, as Cook pushes a strange-looking drive up into the air where it drifts sedately into the hands of Fidel Edwards at mid-off. He totally misjudged the speed of that ball, and the resulting shot made him look distinctly amateur. So, Ian 'devastation' Bell comes in to join Matt Prior as England's rampant big-hitting upper-order attempts to curb it's aggressive instincts. Sorry, excessive sarcasm there I feel. Anyway, Bell and Prior knock four runs around the near parts of the ground off the rest of the over.
WICKET! Bell 2 lbw Rampaul (7th over: England 30-2) "Watching another painfully slow start from the England openers is no-one else regretting Mal Loye wasn't given a more extended run in the side?" yes yes crikey yes, David Bilyard, "Surely a few quickfire twenties would give the innings some impetus and give the rest of the batsmen something to build on." Giving a player one series, against Australia at that, is no way at all to repay his ten years or so of top-level domestic performance. I've no idea why Prior is being shoe-horned into the opening position: he's.... OH never mind. Bell is out. What a shocking start by England. Rampaul produced a peach of an indipper that snuck back off the pitch and beat Bell's downward thrust of the bat, hitting him on the top of his pad, just in front of off stump.
8th over: England 40-2 (Prior 10 Pietersen 1) Andy Stiff, the only man on earth knocking Shiv Chanderpaul: "his sequence is all well and good but you have to remember how any of those games the Windies have won and Shiv failed to take control when the third Test got down to a close finish and once more left the tail to take all the strike when his side was getting skittled in the fourth. I'm sure England don't care too much about his record at the moment. It's all about getting ten men out, it doesn't matter which ten." Yes. That Bradman fellow? Rubbish wasn't he? Back on the pitch Matt Prior has just hit the first six of his one-day career, heaved over mid-wicket with a tremendous waft.
9th over: England 46-2 (Prior 16 Pietersen 1) What a shot by Prior! A walking on-drive, hit with his back foot in the air, speeding the ball across the turf and to the ropes. I immediately retract every jibe I've made about him since this session started. He's clearly the best thing since sliced Bradman. Rampaul almost foxes him with a slower ball, but Prior is able to readjust his shot at the last moment, and blocks the ball.
10th over: England 46-2 (Prior 16 Pietersen 1) Paul Frew "read this morning that Ian Bell is trying to model his Number 3 batting on Ricky Ponting. And apart from the fact he hasn't scored any runs he's done rather well I think." Indeed, Paul's not the only one making that comparison: "Shiv Chanderpaul is in that similar situation to Ponting in the winter - I remember the feeling of joy when we got him out for "only" 40 was nearly as much as the happiness as when Bell got a "decent score" of 40. These batsmen have this aura, where the opposition think they've done brilliantly to get them out for under 50." That's from Gavin Hudson. Prior essays a cover-drive that goes nowhere near Powell's slower ball. England need 233 from 40 overs.
11th over: England 53-2 (Prior 21 Pietersen 3) Prior nudges one, KP steals two, I take five. And then Prior decides to ruin a perfectly good gag by driving four runs through extra-cover.
12th over: England 58-2 (Prior 21 Pietersen 5) "James Benning seems to have acquired something of a mythological status among cricketing aficionados" begins Nick Hughes, "despite not having achieved very much at all. A quick trawl through anorak-land shows he scored 242 runs in six FP trophy innings, 152 of which came in one game. This suggests he's a one in six innings biffer at best which is surely not sufficient to justify a place at international level. More to the point he can't even nail down a place in Surrey's Championship team. I'd argue Tim Ambrose, David Sales, Loye or even Solanki have far stronger claims for a starting birth." As well you may... but letting a self-confessed anorak wearer make such decisions on the basis of six innings holds less water than a colander. Go watch the boy bat - all we want him to do is slap a quick 40 runs, and boy can he do that. Solanki, though, I agree with that, even if he has proven himself to be a flake.
WICKET! Pietersen 9 b Rampaul (13th over: England 64-3) England need to have 98 by the 20th over if the rain comes. And Beefy seems pretty certain that it is going to come. Of course, they need to get 20 overs in before the deluge for the match to stand. And KP, with a mighty swing and a late flick of the wrists, ahs struck four more runs through cover. The next ball almost strangles him down the leg side, and Ramdin shies at the stumps as KP wonders out of his crease. And that is what then cost him wicket, as he strode down the pitch Rampaul pushed his length up at the last moment and clean bowled him through the enlarged gap between bat and pad. Humiliating stuff for KP, but brilliant bowling by Rampaul.
14th over: England 68-3 (Prior 27 Shah 1) And only now, with England limping along, does Fidel Edwards come in to the attack. Prior takes a single, and Shah is almost cleaned out by Edward's inswinging yorker. "Nevermind Benning ...what about the original Surrey biffer Ali Brown?" asks Chris Brown. Too right. I was watching him at Lord's last night, and he made one of the best 19s I've ever seen. And it looks like I'll have plenty of time to tell you all about it because....it's raining and play has stopped.
A fine email here from Jean-Marc de Verteuil: "The mention of James Benning's name has brought up a long repressed memory of when I dropped a routine take in the Bucks Cup final of circa 1999, after which he went on to slap us around the park. Perhaps his low totals for Surrey are indicative, if anything, of the fact that I haven't fielded at point against him since that occasion." Indeed.
Look! Someone actually clicked on the sidebar pop-up thing: "Hi Andy, I see you'll be racing A select group of your fellow GU hacks next week in some - race day media junket. You're being billed as Andy 'Raging' Bull "one of Somerset's 36 best cricket writers" and are 2-1 favourite," says Sian Gleen. "Is it worth having a punt on your chances? Or should I take the 12-1 on Scott Murray?" Actually I'd take the 2-1 on that I'll total the seat. Sorry, SEAT. Murray is not expecting to walk away from this with his driving licence still in his possession. If I were you, and I'm not, I'd take Dart to win. Dark horse that fella.
The covers are coming off and the game should shortly be starting again. And so it does.
15th over: England 71-3 (Prior 28 Shah 2) Dwayne Smith has come into the attack, and his second ball is flicked to square leg for a single. Shah, despite seemingly being cooler than a block of ice up top, has the general demeanour of a man who has just left his own burning house.
16th over: England 78-3 (Prior 28 Shah 3) Edwards almost has Shah caught behind, with a fizzing length ball that spat up off the pitch and forced the batsman to sway his bat out of the way. My good friend Max has correctly pinpointed me as: "you corporate sellout! media junkets! what happened to your relaxed westcountry ideology, and your rolliesmoking benificence? next thing we know you'll be advertising nestle killkidsquick syrup while sitting in a box in Ascot talking about how Bush may have been onto something with the whole war on terror thing and quietly waiting for five minutes to nip to the bog with the FT companies and markets section to check your stock options..." Yup, and calling for a cull of the lentil-wearing sandal-eaters and the return of Kilroy-Silk. Edwards meanwhile, has bounced five wides over Prior's head and away beyond Ramdin's outstretched gloves.
17th over: England 82-3 (Prior 30 Shah 4) West Indies are holding off the third powerplay, quite possibly because Crystal Gayle can't be bothered to raise his voice loud enough for the umpire to hear his request. Or perhaps becuase he thinks it's going to rain again, and wants to limit England's 20-over score. On reflection, I'm plumping for the first.
18th over: England 85-3 (Prior 33 Shah 6) Edwards cuts a slower ball past Shah's prodding outside edge, and then whistles a bouncer past his head with the next ball. He edges the next to third man, where Bad Bad Leroy Morton pulls off an outstanding diving stop to keep them to one.
19th over: England 92-3 (Prior 37 Shah 7) Smith bungs a wide well down the leg side, and straightens his line just a fraction next ball allowing Shah to whip a single to leg. Prior repeats the trick, but gets two runs and there then ensues one of the most embarrassingly bad pieces of cricket you'll ever see: Prior inside edges an innocuous ball behind, Ramdin misses the catch by a distance, and the ball bounces out to leg. Powell picks it up and throws it way beyond the stumps despite the fact that Shah had already made his ground and the batsmen take two. Moving swiftly on then....
20th over: England 95-3 (Prior 39 Shah 10) Bravo is on, and his first ball has been clouted straight back into his ankle by Shah. That's the end of the 20th, and this game will now definitely have a result: right now England are 17 runs behind their D/L score.
21st over: England 98-3 (Prior 39 Shah 10) I'm afraid I missed this over. Blame Zadok Prescott, who challenged me that I wouldn't link to this. I've no idea what he thought would disturb me about a facebook group. But hey, he now owes me £5.
22nd over: England 104-3 (Prior 45 Shah 13) Having successfully doubled my day's wages, I can now tell you that Matt Prior has equalled his best-ever ODI score with a four off Fidel Edwards that sped through mid-wicket.
23rd over: England 109-3 (Prior 49 Shah 13) Prior pushes a single to move on past that top score of his. Bad Bad Leroy Morton produces a woeful misfield at mid-on, failing to pick up the ball as it trundled past his right ankle.
24th over: England 111-3 (Prior 50 Shah 13) Prior raises his fifty and gets a neat round of applause. Well played. New information has now come to light about Zedok's link, which has forced me to render it defunct. If you want to know what it was all about, sorry.
WICKET! Prior 52 c Smith b Powell (25th over: England 115-4) Powell returns and Prior dispatches his first ball over the head of short fine leg with a very clever shot indeed, a kind of twisted paddle sweep. Unfotunately his next shot is as foolish as his last was glorious, he looked to guide the ball to leg but chipped a leading edge up to mid-wicket for a simple catch. Collingwood comes in and, well, the idea that he is England's closer looks more than a little stupid now, what with 165 runs still being needed.
WICKET! Collingwood 1 lbw Edwards (26th over: 116-5) "Given this ODI already appears over as a contest, wouldn't it be a better idea to cover the Nathan's Famous competitive hot-dog eating instead for those of us who don't have ESPN? This year is especially exciting, as it looks as though Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi will lose his crown to the American gastronaut Joey Chestnut..." Andy Kocen that is actually the best idea I've heard in a long time. Is that little japanese fella's name really Kobayashi or have you just made that up? Anyway, I don't believe for a minute that he's going to lose. The guy is as fine a professional athlete as I've come across since last Thursday.... hang on. Collingwood has gone, and he's got a face like thunder. Understandably so, as he just fell for the oldest trick in the quick's manual: a bouncer followed by a full ball. Roughed up by the first, and undone by the second, pinned back on his crease and plumb lbw. Michael Yardy is in, plying his curious hot-footed shuffle across the crease.
27th over: England 120-5 (Shah 18 Yardy 0) Shah lumps two runs into the vacant long leg area. England need 159 to win, and they have 138 balls to get them.
28th over: England 125-5 (Shah 19 Yardy 4) "Kobayashi is indeed his name." Sunil tells me, "Last I heard, he's hors de combat after an unfortunate jaw injury (true!) caused, no doubt, by trying to eat something bigger than his head." Mmm. Awatermelon perhaps? Try dunking one of those in a pint of water and then sliding it down your gullet. Look at that Yardy scores the first of his inevitable tally of 140 runs with a four through cover point.
29th over: England 126-5 (Shah 20 Yardy 5) Will you look at that... six balls and so little to say about them. Yardy crabs around his crease, generally looking uncomfortable,and eventually manages to knock a single out to the off.
30th over: England 128-5 (Shah 20 Yardy 5) Mixed messages as Dominic O'Reilly tells me this: "I believe the Japanese trencherman has arthritis in his jaw and now struggles to open his mouth wide enough to accept anything thicker than a cocktail sausage. Maybe he could go into spaghetti eating contests?" just moments before Sunil tells me this: "I just switched over to ESPN and the Champion is indeed coming onto the Stage. More after this word from our Sponsors...". If this all adds up, it's turnign into one of the greatest sports comeback stories of all time.
31st over: England 134-5 (Shah 22 Yardy 5) "The Gurgitators are underway" writes Sunil "Joey Chestnut (Chicken Wing World Champion) is pulling ahead of Kobayashi who is definitely struggling. That jaw injury didn't respond to acupuncture..." Shah punches two runs out to mid-on.
32nd over: England 137-5 (Shah 24 Yardy 6) I'm flagging a little in the bayou-like mire that is the bottom level of the GU concrete bunker, so here's an old friend, Rikki Clarke, to fill in with some cricket-related chat: "England are not good chasers. No siree. I am quids in - again. This is getting embarrassing." Crystal Gayle breaks into a huge grin after missing a run-out from about a yard away from the stumps. No joke.
33rd over: England 153-5 (Shah 40 Yardy 9) Shah thwacks a four through long-off, and then leans back and makes a glorious pull for six over long-leg: he is in the midst of a brilliant innings here. He's flicked the next for four to fine leg as well: it's raining, so I suspect he's trying to up the run rate and get up near the D/L total before they all go off. He's in serious danger of playing a brilliant innings here, and hauling England out of the fire.
Meanwhile, over on Coney Island: "Kobayashi is picking up the pace, he's only four dogs back....four minutes to go Chestnut maintains a slender lead over Kobayashi 51-49....With 3 minutes to go Chestnut smashes Kobayashi's old record of 53 and 3/4 by scoffing his 54th!.....In a cheek to cheek finish Chestnut wins 63 -62, 3rd was a distant 47!" Many thanks to Sunil for providing the best sports coverage the site has had this year there.
34th over: England 159-5 (Shah 41 Yardy 11) Edwards returns, knowing that a wicket here should seal the win for the Windies. The batsmen trade singles, and Edwards tries to decapitate Yardy with a ripsnorting bouncer.
35th over: England 165-5 (Shah 43 Yardy 11) England need 120 to win from 95 balls. Shah belts two of them out to mid-wicket with a low-slung pull shot. Bravo tries to trick Shah out of his wicket with a slow leg-cutter, but the batsman picks it and pushes it out to cover for one.
36th over: England 167-5 (Shah 44 Yardy 19) Ravi Rampaul is back into the attack. Yardy backs up a touch to far and has to scuttle back into his ground to avoid being run out by a throw from cover. Somehow he has now snuck his score up to 19. Which is grossly at odds with what I've been reporting for the last half hour. Still, we'll all have to just deal with it ok?
WICKET! Yardy 19 c Smith b Bravo (37th over: England 172-6) Yardy scrapes four leg byes to very fine leg, and then belts the next ball straight to deep square leg. Yardy leaned back a little too far and tried to loft a six over leg, succeeding only in landing the ball in the waiting fielder's grasp. Shah uneasily knocks a slower ball past point and takes a single to give Dimi Mascarenhas the strike for the first time.
WICKET! Shah 45 c Ramdin b Rampaul (38th over: England 174-7) Well that just about caps it I'd say. Shah swings his bat across the line of a quicker ball on off stump and snicks a thin edge straight through to the wicketkeeper. An excellent innings from him, far more convincing than any of his teammates have managed today. Stuart Broad is in and England still need 107 to win. Broad takes one of them with a no-look hook to leg.
39th over: England 177-7 (Mascarenhas 4 Broad 2) Mascarenhas - a man in search of a nickname if ever I saw one - drives a tidy shot between mid-off's open legs for one, and Broad plays a tidy hook to add another, and the procession of singles continues as Mascarenhas squeezes another off his outside edge and down to third man. Bravo has had enough and bowls yet another slower ball, which Broad pops up to mid-off, where Gayle should take an easy catch but for some reason - I suspect chronic laziness - he doesn't get more than his fingertips to it and it slides out of his grasp.
WICKET! Mascarenhas 3 c Powell b Rampaul (40th over: England 179-8) England are fifty runs short of the D / L target, and, as it is once again starting to rain, that's pretty vital. Less so perhaps now that Mascarenhas has spanked the ball straight to Daren Powell with a lazy swing of his bat. Not that he had much choice given that England need ten an over. Ryan Sidebottom walks out, to display his meagre batting skills in a futile innings on a very grim and wet evening in Birmingham and someone decides that playing "Don't stop me now" by Queen is an appropriate thing to do. Not for the first time, I'm struck by how bad cricket is at judging it's own demographic. Rampaul now has four for 41, and that's his best figures in one-day cricket.
The umpires end the session because it's belting down with rain and well, it's all but official that England have lost.
Well for some reason unknown to me the game is going to resume. England need 99 runs, and they have Sidebottom, Anderson and Broad to get them. In ten overs. My dreams of wrapping this up and actually getting home to eat some dinner have disappeared for another while then.
41st over: England 191-8 (Broad 5 Sidebottom 11) Runako Morton hurls four pointless overthrows past the stumps. Much hilarity ensues. Sideshow cracks a four over mid-on with a miscued pull.
WICKET! Sidebottom 15 run out Smith (42nd over: England 200-9) At the other end comes Fidel Edwards. He too is spanked for four by Sideshow, this one carved through the covers. And the next ball brings his startling little cameo to a close, as he tries a run to Dwayne Smith at point, giving himn all the time he needs to take aim and throw down the stumps, just before the bat slides across the crease. Broad cracks a square cut away for four to the next ball, repeats the shot only a little worse and is dropped.
43rd over: England 203-9 (Broad 12 Anderson 0) Broad cuts a couple past gully, and then leaves Anderson to face as the rain begins to fall again.
44th over: England 207-9 (Broad 15 Anderson 1) Edwards continues, and Lou Roper shrewdly observes that: "The game has resumed because Andy Bull is doing the OBO. Don't the Laws include a provision that rain must periodically interrupt hopeless run chases and unreasonably delay the conclusion of matches to which the GU authorities have assigned you?" Yes. Yes they do. Difficult to say which is sloppier at the moment, as the Windies fluff a run out chance by failing to pick up the ball, the cricket or the commentary. Anderson takes a single off the last with an edge to third man. 72 runs needed from 37 balls.
45th over: England 215-9 (Broad 22 Anderson 1) Broad hits a four over long-on with an ungainly swipe. Dwayne Smith is on, bowling to Anderson, who is scoring like a man with a Test match to save. Smith puts out a feeble lbw shour for a ball that hit Anderson some six inches outside the line of the stumps.
WICKET! Anderson 3 c Ramdin b Edwards (46th over: England 217) (Broad 22) This is getting a little painful. Anderson still looks unable to get a run, the West Indians look equally incapable of getting him out. Edwards produces a succession of bouncers, which Anderson ducks underneath with some ease.Jimmy is at least grinning - I guess he's enjoying playing batsman. And there he goes: the blade flashes and a pair of runs dribble out to deep cover. And that's enough for him: he edges thenext ball through to Ramdin and the West Indies have won by 61 runs.
Cheerio. Thanks for the emails. I'm off to try and eat 61 hotdogs in five minutes. See you round these parts sometime soonish.

the security from lift to room very goodno no
Proximity to the Tourist center for Meyer Werft tour. The children were very well treated by the staff. The spa baths were just large bathtubs and needed a token. There was no signage saying where to get this token.
The location was perfect, and it was very peaceful.
The hotel was newer than I thought and very clean with a staff who all new English very well. We arrived early and still had no problems checking in. The breakfast was very good with many things to choose from. The dinner menu was very resonable priced and the food was always well cooked.
It was clean, with a good sized room and comfortable bed. The breakfast choice was excellent, but not cheap. There are few comfortable lounge facilities and the lack of of a good restaurant. Most people in the fish restaurant opposite were from the Hotel.
Everything, I will deifnely being going there again The Price of Breakfast - 15 Euro? a little bit expensive, to say its a buffet breakfast with the usual Continental food!
Very friendly. Nice breakfast. Very large and clean / renewed room. Lots of history and ancient furniture.
Cosy and wellkept old house with a nice atmosfere. The lady-owner was friendly and helpfull None
Friendly informative staff, lovely breakfast, clean room
The location to the shipyard, town centre and the Bellini restaurant. The poor state of the gym equipment, the lack of staffing at the hotel, i tried to check out at 7am but nobody was available in reception until 8am, i also called back at lunch time and could not get access to reception to get my key. No Bar that was open.
