The music you make ends up in the oddest places. You'd never guess I helped conjure this track into being by seeing it played in the first video having had a look at unkempt ST in 2014.
Meg was shy back then in 2010, hesitant to even play a melody aloud (to Percival and I, at least). It had to be coaxed. I could never take any credit for her wonderful song, but the world can thank me for diligence in insuring it was recorded.
It's a worldbeater, and Meg's first future jukebox classic.

The Bee Gees must be one of the best examples of an underrated overexposed band. To call hit makers of such magnitude underrated may seem somewhat perverse, but think about it. The layperson's association with the Bee Gees starts with Saturday Night Fever and ends with a groan. It surprises many to hear that more than 10 studio albums precede Barry's first released attempt at a falsetto.
Few hits penetrate popular culture to such a lasting, international degree as Staying Alive. This dominance is likely an enviable achievement for many songwriters. Certainly the promotion extended to ones finances would be something hard to resist the idea of. I wonder though, if Staying Alive actually serves as an obscurant to the numerous other achievements the Bee Gees legacy embodies.
So much is swept under the rug by a success of that scale. If we can suggest that a smash hit represents a consensus of the public, the inference is that people are most comfortable congregating around that which is generally agreed upon. By that logic the more consensus you have in a discography the less light creeps in around the edges.
Dark Side of The Moon is agreed upon in magazine lists throughout the decades as the best rock album of all time. Saucerful of Secrets likely doesn't crack the 1000 most listened to LP's of our age. Too much consensus.
There isn't a single song you could use to sum up the careers of David Bowie or R. Stevie Moore. Bowie had too many hits of the same size, R. Stevie Moore not a single one. No consensus for either and so as fans we take our pick of favoured eras and albums.
Like ABBA, The Bee Gees were prodigious songwriters whose genius is overshadowed by overexposure and specific association. They are the definition of a deep cuts band. Their albums are in dollar bins all over the world, golden discs mostly unwanted.
My favourite is Trafalgar, but Cucumber Castle and Bee Gee's 1st are great too. If you see those Rare, Precious & Beautiful compilations of their early Australian work, grab them. They are fantastic.
The Bee Gees are rightfully one of the best groups of the 60's and 70's. Have a listen to some of my favourites.
Although I like the SNL skits, this song is has been kind of maligned by them. Great choon.
And did you know Robin's early solo effort was one of the first records to use a drum machine? He also wrote a song called You Are the Worst Girl in This Town. Badass.

I'm on a bit of a Miles kick right now... Had never seen this before last night, but now feel like it's essential viewing.
First of all Miles is playing his horn through a wah wah. What the hell, the coolest thing I've ever seen.
The shit doesn't even really get cookin till Pete Cosey straps on the white 12 string. Holy hell, there's nothing like it. In and out of melody, following the invisible thread projected in his mind. I've never heard guitar playing like it. Wow.

The University of Notre Dame has had a presence in London since 1968 when the Law School opened a study abroad program in the city for its students. Notre Dame's position in London was consolidated in 1981 with the acquisition of larger accommodation in Albermarle Street in Mayfair, enabling the Colleges of Arts & Letters, Business Administration, and Engineering to develop their own programs in London as well. The steady expansion of these programs created demand for more space, and so in July 1998 the University moved into new premises at 1 Suffolk Street in St James's.
The first building on this site was erected in 1823 to provide accommodation for the new United University Club, an exclusive gentlemen's club for members of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. As the club expanded larger premises were required, and so the entire property was re-built on a grander scale in 1906 according to the designs of the eminent Edwardian architect Reginald Blomfield. The need for further space resulted in the addition of an extension on the north side of the building in 1924 (once again under the supervision of Sir Reginald) and a smaller extension on the east side in 1939/40.
As with so many gentlemen's clubs in the period after World War Two, the fortunes of the UUC went into decline, and in 1971 is was forced to vacate its premises and amalgamate with the Oxford and Cambridge Club which occupied a building further down Pall Mall. Number One Suffolk Street was then taken over by the bankers Coutts & Co., who remained on site until 1980 when the British School of Osteopathy took up a new lease on the premises. Once again, however, the cost of maintenance in a difficult economic climate proved too much for the BSO and in June 1997 it was forced to relinquish the remainder of its lease.
As a result of a generous bequest from Mr Charles Kennedy Fischer, a Trustee of the University, Notre Dame was able to take over the lease and initiate an extensive 10-month-long building project to refurbish 1 Suffolk Street. The plans included installing modern teaching facilities within the building, while at the same time sensitively restoring the interior to its former Edwardian grandeur. As a result, many of the original features of an elite gentlemen's club remain, including a particularly fine central staircase which merits "Listed Building" status. The main reception rooms fronting Pall Mall East and Suffolk Street also retain many of their historic qualities such as mahogany doors and wainscoting, ornate marble fireplaces, and intricate ceiling mouldings.
The building opened for use in July 1998, and at a formal dedication ceremony in February 1999 the President of the University, Fr Malloy, officially named the building the Marian Kennedy Fischer Hall in memory of Mr Fischer's late mother.
Fischer Hall is now a most worthy flagship building representing the presence of the University Notre Dame in the UK and indeed in Europe as well.
In August 2011, the University opened its second building in London, a residence building close to Waterloo Station in the South Bank area. The new hall is named in honor of Robert and Ricki Conway, and offers nearly 50,000 square feet of living space and contains a chapel, six common rooms, study space, laundry room and luggage storage. Conway Hall is another historic building, built in 1823 and originally used as an infirmary for indigent children, known at the Royal Waterloo House.

SolarWorld increases your gross solar product: Presenting excellence in design and quality in Frankfurt at this year's Light+Building showMontag, 16.04.2012 15:04
SolarWorld AG's exhibit at this year's Light+Building trade fair will be shaped by energy-efficient construction: From April 15 to 20, the company presents its solutions for the integration of solar power systems that combine high quality with elegant design in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
There will be a series of applications under the motto "We will increase your gross solar product" demonstrating how the systems can guarantee optimum efficiency. The new Sunmodule Plus SW 196 Vario poly makes it possible to install an additional row of solar modules for the first time ever. It is two cell rows shorter than other standard modules. The design of the new model has been matched to fit with other Sunmodule types, which means you can now combine different module sizes with one another. This technical feat guarantees an optimized use of roof area and increases your system's yield. With a 25-year linear performance guarantee and a ten-year product warranty, your yields are guaranteed for many years to come.
In the area of improved design, the company will present the Sundeck system, which can seamlessly integrate a solar power system into any roof. Installers won't need to handle aluminum profiles and hooks. Instead, they attach the solar modules directly to specially designed support elements. The benefits: For one, the system can replace part or all of the typical roof covering and in so doing, eliminate costs in new buildings or refurbishment projects, in particular. For another, the system does not stand out because it becomes a uniform element of the roof. SolarWorld AG delivers all Sundeck roof integration systems as a complete kit with Sunmodule Plus modules, cables, and the appropriate inverter.
SolarWorld AG also offers the SunPac storage system with an improved capacity of 13.8kWh to increase the portion of homemade power. Customers can take advantage of this backup system to provide security in case of power failures and energy price increases. They also become more independent of utility companies. And now the data can be monitored when you are on the go with the new Suntrol mobile app from a smartphone or over the Internet portal, regardless of whether you have a storage system.
Come and visit SolarWorld at booth D82 in hall 8.0!
About SolarWorld AG: SolarWorld (ISIN: DE0005108401) is a worldwide leader in offering brand-name, high-quality, crystalline silicon solar-power technology. The company's strength is its fully integrated solar production. From silicon as the raw material through wafers, cells and panels all the way to turn-key solar systems of all sizes, the group combines all stages of the solar value chain. The central business activity is selling high-quality panels into the installation and distribution trades and wafers to the international solar cell industry. Group headquarters are located in Bonn, Germany, with sales sites in Singapore, South Africa, Spain, France as well as in the U.S. state of California.

Chelsea's European defence faces tricky opening night
With memories of Munich glory still fresh in the memory, Chelsea kick off their defence of the Champions League on Wednesday.
It is tempting to live permanently in the afterglow of 19th May 2012; images of Thomas Muller's premature celebration, Didier Drogba's header, Arjen Robben's saved penalty, Drogba's winning kick and Roberto Di Matteo's joyous lifting of the cup continually flashing across one's eyes. But football is eternal and is constantly regenerating allowing teams to build on the previous campaign's successes or right last year's wrongs. It is with these ambitions in mind that a pursuit of a second European Cup gets underway.
And it could not begin with a tougher challenge. Juventus are the reigning Serie A champions and they claimed their 28th Scudetto without losing a game. The 'Old Lady' was the strongest team that Chelsea could have drawn from Pot 2 (with Manchester City not eligible to join a group headed by a fellow English club) and they will be desperate to impress on their return to Europe's top table.
Among their numbers will be some faces familiar to the Blues. Nicklas Bendtner will be keen to make his mark back on London soil having joined on loan from Arsenal though he has rarely been a striker to make defenders quiver in their boots. One player who will send shivers down the spine of John Terry and Ashley Cole is Mirko Vucinic. The Montenegro international ran Chelsea ragged as he scored twice when playing for Roma against the Blues in a Champions League group stage fixture almost four years ago and with two goals already to his name he will be the man most likely to punish the holders.
The tricky Sebastian Giovinco will be another to keep tabs on while the sorcery of Andrea Pirlo is well known by all. At the back, Juventus have a wealth of experience to draw on with Gianluigi Buffon shielded by fellow Italy internationals Andre Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini; the trio providing a formidable wall of defiance that conceded just 20 goals in their march to the title.
As the reigning champions of Europe and opening the new campaign at home, the onus will be on Chelsea to take the game to their opponents. Naturally we all want to see free-flowing attacking football however it must be remembered that while the Champions League is not quite a marathon, it certainly isn't a sprint. A draw at home would not be the worst result as long as lesser opposition are dispatched with few alarms. Arguably, what is more important is the performance. The two quality teams that Chelsea have faced this season - Manchester City and Atletico Madrid - both created a host of chances on their way to victory so it would be nice to see that those problems have been addressed when the Blues undertake their next big examination.
Once again the displays of John Obi Mikel and Frank Lampard will be scrutinised as will the discipline and composure of David Luiz but equally as important will be the contribution in the attacking third. The last two outings have seen Chelsea's attack blunted with Fernando Torres on the periphery in Monaco and at Loftus Road. Some have cited a lack of service to the front man and that has certainly been part of the story but his movement, along with his desire to make things happen by himself, has also been questionable. A show of commitment to the cause would go a long way to dispelling any concerns that he might be reverting to the Torres of the previous 18 months.
Reports that John Terry is winning his battle for fitness are very encouraging as experience is key on big occasions such as these. That said, I would love to see Oscar given a decent run-out either from the start or from the bench. He has understandably been used sparingly given his lack of pre-season assimilation in the squad but he retains the kind of vision and ability that looks to be ideally suited to European competition. What I definitely do not want to see is a repeat of Ramires and Ryan Bertrand both starting the game posted on the flank. Caution is all very well when protecting a lead or playing vastly superior opposition but deploying both against QPR fatally undermined the team's ambition.
Three points would be very welcome on Wednesday but with a trip to Arsenal looming in a couple of weeks' time, a demonstration of cohesion and balance throughout the team would be equally as pleasing.

Alistair Overeem destroys Brett Rogers to retain the Strikeforce Heavyweight Title; Calls out Fedor Emelianenko againPosted on May 15, 2010, 11:10 PM by Anton Gurevich
Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem delivered one of the most one-sided performances of the recent time, by defeating Brett Rogers in the main event of Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery. "The Demolition Man" demolished "The Grim" Brett Rogers with a vicious gound and pound that forced the veteran referee Big John McCarthy to stop the fight after 3:40 minutes of the First Round.
Weighting 253 pounds for this fight, Alistair Overeem threw the 265-pound Brett Rogers around the cage like a dummy, signaling his physical dominance over the former WAMMA Heavyweight Title challenger. On his feet, Brett Rogers' cautious approach allowed Alistair Overeem to dictate the pace in the fight, outpowering Rogers in every aspect of the game. Alistair Overeem's vicious ground and pound was too much for Rogers, struggle to respond during 3:40 minutes of the showdown.
Speaking to Gus Johnson immediately after the fight, Alistair Overeem had a clear message for the fans:
"You know it's been awhile, but I'm back. I'm the champion of Strikeforce and I'm going nowhere, I'm here to stay. I was in the best shape of my life, and I think this fight proved it.," Declared Alistair Overeem. Answering on who he wants to be his next opponent, Ubereem repeated for another time what he said 6 months ago at the Dynamite!! 2009 post-fight press conference: "Fedor Emelianenko. His management declined for him to fight me tonight. Respect for Brett Rogers because he stood up and wanted to fight me like a man, I think now it's Fedor's turn."
Alistair Overeem removed all questions regarding his credibility as a possible challenger for Fedor Emelianenko's crown, which will be defended on June 26th against Fabricio Werdum. The Golden Glory Gym will probably continue his K-1 adventure during the summer, but this is not a secret that the next time we should see him fighting MMA again, is against no one else than "The Last Emperor" Fedor Emelianenko.
"You know it's been awhile, but I'm back. I'm the champion of Strikeforce and I'm going nowhere, I'm here to stay. I was in the best shape of my life, and I think this fight proved it.," Declared Alistair Overeem.

Brett was out of his depth. I never really liked Overeem but he did impress me how he just bulldozed Rogers. Still think Fedor would beat him tho

I don't think so, Fedor has reaction time like no other, remember that KO to Andrei?

It's time for Fedor to fight this man (Alistair Overeem) I'm really curious to see what the excuse is going to be this time from Fedor's management......

What excuses? He fights a dude who's beaten Overeem in a fight that was in the makings long, long before Roidstar decided to return.

Im sorry can i get a map to that statement? Fedor's management has been making excuses for him not to fight this year.. Im not hating on Fedor, im hating on his shit management. Cuz im sorry but the "Best Pound for Pound Fighter" in my eyes fights more than once a year

Rogers looked like some random guy they pulled from the stands. Overeem just totally walked through him. I am not sure he even broke a sweat in the process. I think it paints a pretty clear picture of who will win a Fedor vs Overeem fight.
FedorsNutsSharp6Weak | 2Cool | 1Funny | 0
This was the first guy Rogers couldn't bully with his size and it got to him. It's pretty clear Fedor doesn't have those issues.

How can you make conclusions like that?, Rogers is no bum, he is good, that just proves how Alistair has improve, but to say that he is a clear winner against Fedor, dude, are you sure?, Like I have said a thousand times, everybody has a chance but Fedor is not Rogers I bet you Fedor vs Reem would not be as easy to win for neither of them.

Ubereen put a beatdown on Brett who gave Fedor a run for his money (breaking his nose and leaving him with a broken finger)...If Fedor or his management doesn't accept the Reem's challenge, it would be a clear indication that the Emperor is shying away from tough competition. My guts tell me, though, that this fight will happen...If Fedor beats Werdum, this match-up is the most logical for both champs...
I won't be surprised if the Reem beats Fedor...His super-size, strength, experience, and great technique are more than a match for the Emperor's superior skills...

Overeem calls out Fedor.....careful what you wish for.
Size doesn't seem to be any real advantage to fighting Fedor
Overeem is one of my favorite fighters and it will be a great fight, but if Fedor can't KO him he will probably armbar him from the guard.
falcon4917Sharp2Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Quite possible I will say, but Overeem actually seems very hard to control and he is pretty quick. I am for the first time ever convinced that Fedor is in likely trouble with Overeem. I know I can't count Fedor out but I just have this gut feeling this is the man that will beat him. We shall see I hope but if it doesn't happen then something is wrong with M-1.
divoSharp1Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
fedor has a chance to KO him, sure. But dude overeem is a world class striker and fk is he quick on his feet for his weight.
Overeem is def up there with carwin, lesnar, jds and cain as top heavyweights.
**** yeah !

i've watch these guys for years in pride. Overeem has just finaly got to his body peek fador is the man but i think Overeem will take him. in pride Overeem would gas out and was much thinner i guees will see, old bull against young bull. this will be a great fight for sure
mokokoCool1Funny | 0Weak | 0Sharp | 0
Overeem is axepting Fedor for the best HW fighter in the world and wans to fight him
Overeem is a good solid fighter whichever way you cut it and i think he has a better chance at Fedor than anyone else SF can provide, Overeem is way more technical than Brett both standing up, with submissions and on the ground and it showed, it went pretty much how i thought it would just in a much shorter time frame...........
They should just take out Werdum & replace him with Alistair. It's not like Alistair even broke a sweat.
DELETE MESharp1Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
I don't give a rat's ass about watching a fight bettween Fedor and Lesnar anymore...
Fedor vs Overeem , that is the fight I'll be wishing for from now on!!!
I do hope though that the Athletic Committe will be strict in their drug tests, I want to see a clean fight, and something is not right about this guy's (overreem) muscle gain.
DELETE MESharp3Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Werdum is way far from being a push over though... I do consider him among the top10 heavyweights.
Seems like Fedor has his hands full for his next 2 fights... who can say now that top competition doesn't exist outside the UFC walls.
Fedor will always be my favorite fighter whether he retires undefeated or he loses to spme up and coming young star.
What most people can't realize about the fedor fans is that we are not nut-hanging from his wins/losses record.
We love him because he represents MMA fighting to its purest form. Skills+Class as a person. The only one else I am willing to compare him with in that respects is Randy Couture.

for those who say that oveerem improves so much and if fedor will fight with him he will be in trouble I say you are wrong, oveerem wouldntt differ from any other of his opponents he will still win tko or submission, idk why suddenly some of you doubt in fedor. I know if that fight happen fedor will effectively win this fight i just know that i can tell that fedor is not out of gas yet, cuz when it happen i belive he will quit and it maybe be somewhere in 2-3 years from now.

Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321 / Florence / Italy)
O Intelligence Moving The Third Heaven
O Intelligences moving the third heaven,
the reasons heed that from my heart come forth,
so new, it seems, that no one else should know.
The heaven set in motion by your worth,
beings in gentleness created even,
keeps my existence in its present woe,
so that to speak of what I feel and know
means to converse most worthily with you:
I beg you, then, to listen to me well.
Of something in me new I now will tell—
how grief and sadness this my soul subdue,
and how a contradiction from afar
speaks through the rays descending from your star.
A thought of loveliness seems now to be
life to my ailing heart: it used to fly
oft to the very presence of your Sire;
and there a glorious Lady sitting high
it also saw, who spoke so pleasingly,
my soul would say "Up there dwells my desire."
Now one appears, which I in dread admire
a mighty lord that makes it flee away,
so mighty, terror from my heart outflows.
To me he brings a lady very close,
and "Who salvation seeks," I hear him say,
"let him but gaze into this lady's eyes,
if he can suffer agony of sighs."
Such is the contradiction, it can slay
the humble thought that is still telling me
of a fair angel up in heaven crowned.
My soul bemoans its present misery,
saying, "Unhappy me! How fast away
went he, in whom I had some solace found!"
And of my eyes it says, with mournful sound,
"When was it such a lady pierced their sight?
Why did they fail to see me in her guise?
I said, 'Oh, surely, in this lady's eyes
the one must dwell who kills my peers with fright.'
To no avail I warned them (Oh, my dread!),
but look at her they did, and I fell dead."
"Oh, no, not dead, you are bewildered much,
O my poor soul, so pained and grieving so,"
replies a loving spirit, kind and sweet,
"For the fair woman, that you feel and know,
has changed your life so quickly and so much,
you now are trembling in your vile defeat.
Look how humility and mercy meet
in one so wise and gentle in her height:
so call her Lady, as by now you must.
And you will see, if steadfast is your trust,
such lofty miracles, such full delight,
you'll say, 'O Love, true lord, do as you please:
here is your humble handmaid on her knees.'"
My song, I do believe that those are few
who can unravel your most hidden sense,
so intricate and mighty is your wit.
Therefore, if by some fate or circumstance
you stray and venture among people who
seem not completely to have fathomed it,
oh, then, I pray, console yourself a bit,
and say, O lovely latest song, to them,
"Notice, at least, how beautiful I am!"

Joe Hunt: White Collar Psychopath
The List
Dean introduced Joe to a security guard who called himself Jim Graham, although in reality his name was Jim Pittman. He was a muscled black man who claimed to have once played pro football and to have won weight-lifting contests. He had fled Delaware to escape felony charges. Yet because he knew things about guns and explosives, he was allowed into the inner sanctum. He became the BBC's head of security.
Around this time, one of the boys figured out that the group was spending around $70,000 a month, but he didn't see that same amount coming back as income. He realized that Joe was spending money entrusted to him by investors. Clearly, things were deteriorating.
Joe decided it was time to pressure Levin to pay them at least something. He decided that he would have to force Levin to sign over some assets and then kill him. He would leave a contract for Microgenesis in Levin's home so that it would be easy to explain why he had a signed check, and he created a paper trail by writing a series of letters back and forth about the deal. These, too, would be planted in Levin's house. Being the organized person that he was, one day Joe made a seven-page list of things that had to be done, that included some of the following:
Jim digs pit.
Joe arrives at 9:00. Lets Jim in.
Execution of agreements.
Close blinds
Tape mouth
Kill dog.
The plan was to take some dinners over to Ron as a friendly gesture so they could have a meeting. Then Jim would arrive with a gun and demand money that Joe supposedly owed him. Joe would tell Levin that Jim was a Mafia enforcer and that he will kill them both if Levin doesn't sign over a sizable check. Once they had the check, they would pack Levin's bags, since he was scheduled to go to New York the following day, and "send" him out of town. Then Jim would go to New York and use Levin's credit cards in the hotels to make it look as if he had actually gone there.
On Wednesday, June 6, 1984, Joe and Jim carried out this plan. They got Levin to sign over a check from a Swiss bank account for $1,500,000. Then they handcuffed him and took him into the bedroom, where they made him lie face down on the white comforter of his bed. One of the two men shot Levin it was never clear who and then they wrapped him in the comforter and hauled him outside to stuff into the trunk of a BMW.
It was Joe's idea to take him to Soledad Canyon, about an hour from Los Angeles. He often went hunting there, and he had noticed that it would be a great dumping ground: anything or anyone left there would never be found.
Dean Karny later testified that Joe had described what they had done at the canyon as an added touch: They shot Levin's corpse numerous times to make him unrecognizable. During this grisly session, Levin's brain had popped out of his skull and landed on his chest — an image that Karny was never to forget. What made it worse was the way Joe told the tale, as if he though it had been kind of neat to watch.
Then Jim went off to New York, while Joe tried to cash the check. He'd left the contract and correspondence in Levin's house, so he felt perfectly safe, but what he'd forgotten in all the haste to get rid of the body was the "to do" list. That, too, was back at the house.

Drawing on his extensive knowledge of history, law, and economics, Richard Epstein examines how best to regulate the interface between market choice and government intervention—and find a middle way between socialism and libertarianism. In the process, he provides and illuminating analysis of some of the ways that special interest groups, with the help of sympathetic politicians, have been able to manipulate free markets in their favor.

On the same weekend a year ago, a young and rebuilding D.C. United team hosted the New York Red Bulls and got throttled in a match in which coach Ben Olsen said his team had been outclassed.
Chris Pontius, one of two United starters remaining from that game, helped show just how much the roles have been reversed this season with his first career hat trick in United's 4-1 rout of the Red Bulls before a rain-soaked 13,262 at RFK Stadium. The victory extended United's unbeaten streak to six games, its longest since 2009.
"I think we're a more mature team," Pontius said, comparing Sunday's game to the one United lost 4-0 a year ago. "We close out games better. We see plays out better, and we make a lot less stupid mistakes."
The longest tenured United player -- in just his fourth season -- after a host of offseason roster changes, Pontius made his second straight start after coming off the bench in United's previous four games. He wrestled control of the match in the eighth minute.
Stripping New York forward Thierry Henry at the edge of the midfield circle, Pontius turned and ran toward goal, holding off Red Bulls defender Markus Holgersson as he unleashed a 25-yard blast that dipped over goalkeeper Ryan Meara.
"Chris gives a little shimmy and bangs one," Olsen said. "I thought he had a good night. He still doesn't know to play forward though. That's the scary thing. He's still new at the position, and some of his movements can get a lot better. But three goals isn't too bad."
Pontius doubled up in the 32nd minutes thanks to Maicon Santos, who displayed his confidence by splitting a pair of New York defenders to get into the box from the left side. He held off a third to cross from the end line, and Meara got a touch, as did defender Connor Lade, but the ball came right to Pontius, who slammed it home from close range.
New York's mess of a defense, without suspended Rafael Marquez and injured Wilman Conde, teed up a third goal for United (3-2-3) two minutes later, with Victor Palsson pushing the ball backward into the Red Bulls' box. Dwayne De Rosario shoved aside Lade and centered the ball to Nick DeLeon, whose shot deflected off Holgersson and past Meara.
Pontius capped off his night when he picked up a loose ball in the New York midfield. A touch left Holgersson flailing, and Pontius moved the ball to his left foot for the finish past a sliding Meara in the 69th minute.
Only Thierry Henry's superb free kick in the 72nd minute, from which he walked away from without a hint of celebration, ensured United wouldn't match the biggest margin of victory in the series with the Red Bulls (3-3-1).
"You're going to have games like this when you're a playing a team that's a little down, and you've got to step on them and take advantage of it," Olsen said. "I thought we did a very good job from start to finish of putting them under a lot of pressure and not letting them get comfortable."

The Daily Item
Brecken has been on the Sunbury police force for three weeks and, according to his trainer, the 2-year-old German shepherd is doing just fine.
Thanks to Northumberland County President Judge Robert Sacavage and chief probation officer John Wondoloski, Brecken was donated to the city after his original handler, Chris Kemble, left the probation department for a new job.
Brecken had been with adult probation before becoming part of the Sunbury police force.
Brecken is certified in drug detection, tracking and protection, Sunbury officer and trainer Scott Hause said.
"This is a highly skilled dog," he said. "He will be a huge help to us."
Wondoloski said Brecken has recovered several amounts of drugs and has helped the probation department track individuals when probation officers are in search.
Losing the dog was difficult for Wondoloski, but knowing he is close is a plus.
"The dog becomes part of the family," Wondoloski said. "We are happy he will be close by."
Brecken is getting used to being with Sunbury police, Hause said.
"He's training me," Hause joked. "We are feeling each other out and we are getting used to each other."
Brecken takes his commands in German, Hause said.
Sunbury already has a K-9 unit, which was led by Rocky, a chocolate Labrador, who recently retired, so bringing in Brecken was a perfect fit, Sunbury Mayor David Persing said.
"We are glad to have him," he said. "This is also a great way to be working together with the county."
Hause might have summed up what other Sunbury officers are thinking about having Brecken on the force.
"He's our all star," he said. "He really is a rock star."

It took me awhile to learn to appreciate rex begonias. I'm not a fan of overly ornate things and rex begonias always seem to be pushing it just a little. But the sun has been hiding and I need a good hit of vibrant color. Talk about flashy. The leaves of rex begonias positively flaunt their colors. These fascinating little plants make wonderful house plants without having to worry about flowers. Leaves can be multi-colored, patterned or glazed in icy silver. They're a popular plant to collect and if you think 1 begonia is showy, you should see 30 of them scattered about - all with different markings.
If you're looking for a little color in the winter months or if you're lucky enough to be gardening in zones 9 or 10, try growing a rex and see if they start to fascinate you as much as they do me.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a pediatric disorder characterized by osteonecrosis of the proximal femoral epiphysis. The etiology probably involves successive vascular occlusions, in which hypercoagulable disorders may play a role. We evaluated the etiologic role of thrombophilia in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease in a pediatric population.
One hundred and sixty-nine consecutive patients who had been diagnosed with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease at two centers in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, when they were between 1.5 and 13.5 years of age were identified between 2000 and 2003. The study also included two control groups: 474 subjects (16.3 to 73.1 years of age) from a population-based case-control study on the etiology of venous thrombosis as well as thirty-eight children (1.8 to 18.8 years of age) who were treated for asthma at one of the centers. We determined levels of protein C, protein S, factor VIII, and fibrinogen and tested for the factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A mutations. We calculated age and sex-adjusted odds ratios as measures of the relative risk of the development of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.
The incidence of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease was increased in the presence of the factor V Leiden mutation (odds ratio, 3.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.6 to 6.7), in the presence of the prothrombin G20210A mutation (odds ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.0 to 6.3), in association with elevated levels of factor VIII (>150 IU/dL) (odds ratio, 7.5; 95% confidence interval, 2.2 to 25.2), and in association with protein S deficiency (<67 U/dL) (odds ratio, 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 0.7 to 10.8). Neither high levels of fibrinogen (>4.0 g/L) nor protein C deficiency (=55 U/dL) had an apparent effect on the risk of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. (Odds ratios were adjusted for age and sex.) Overall, males had a 2.4 times higher risk of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease developing than did females. The effect of the factor V Leiden mutation, high levels of fibrinogen, and increasing levels of factor VIII was stronger in males than in females. The risk of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease increased with an increasing number of coagulation abnormalities in males but not in females.
There appears to be a thrombotic component in the etiology of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.
The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the etiology of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease and may thus have implications for its prevention or treatment.
We would like to thank Dr. Hayek for his interest in our article and for his valuable remarks. We agree with Dr. Hayek that our study may not yet be the final answer on the role of hypercoagulability in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD). However, our study included the largest group of patients so far which may at least have led to a considerable contribution to the discussion.
As indicated by Dr. Hayek, the prevalence of genetic coagulation factors are population dependent. Factor V Leiden shows an uneven geographical distribution and is most commonly present in Caucasians. In the Dutch population the prevalence of the Factor V Leiden mutation was previously found to be 3.6% (1) which is similar to the 3.1% we found in our control population and clearly different from the 9.6% in the LCPD patients. It should be noted that we contrasted patients and controls from the same population, so ethnic differences could not have biased our results. The prothrombin G20210A mutation is mainly observed in Western European countries. The prevalence within the Dutch population varies between studies from 1.0-2.3% (2,3), which is again similar to our control group with a prevalence of 2.1%. Nevertheless, these differences in prevalence between populations can not explain the controversy Dr. Hayek refers to. A relative risk (of which an odds ratio is an estimate) compares the risk in unexposed and exposed subjects and, for this comparison, the prevalence of the exposure is not relevant (unless it is completely absent). The discrepancies between reported results are most likely the result of the small size of several previous studies and other methodological deficits.
We agree that the use of an age-matched control group would have been ideal, but collecting a larger group of children as controls or confirming protein S deficiency in relatives was difficult due to medical ethical constraints. However, the limitations of the use of an adult control group may seem more serious then they really are: the cut-off value of 67U/dL for protein S was well justified because levels in children reach adult ranges early in life and mean levels in children are equal to adult means (4,5). Increased FVIII levels may lead to a hypercoagulable state which is an established risk factor for deep venous thrombosis and may result in an increased risk for developing LCPD. Indeed, testing during the acute phase of LCPD should not be recommended as it is an acute phase protein. However, in our study blood collection was performed on average 3.5 years after the first onset of symptoms of LCPD. There is indeed a possibility that FVIII levels were occasionally increased due to infections or other medical conditions, but even if this occurred sporadically at the time of blood sampling, it is as likely that it occurred in the cases as in the controls. This would at most have resulted in an underestimation of the odds ratio. Of course, none of these issues are relevant for the investigation of factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20210A, which have a prevalence that does not change with age, or concomitant circumstances.
Dr. Hayek agrees with us that the association with factor V Leiden and LCPD is likely to be true. If we accept that one thrombophilic defect has an effect on LCPD, it makes sense that other thrombophilic abnormalities do so as well, even though these associations may be more difficult to demonstrate due to measurement problems or insufficient power. From our results we concluded that thrombotic abnormalities contribute in the etiology of LCPD. We certainly did not suggest that anticoagulant therapy should be used. Instead, we consider it ineffective, because LCPD is often diagnosed at a late stage and additionally, anticoagulants introduce a bleeding risk. We also would not recommend testing for these abnormalities in the clinical setting, since the presence or absence of them would not affect clinical management.

To the Editor:
We have read with great interest the manuscript "Coagulation Abnormalities in Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease" (1). After carefully reading it, we would like to comment on the results and methodology of this study.
So far, a considerable number of case reports, cohort and case control studies have been published on the subject of the prevalence of hypercoagulability in Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) and it seems that the controversy on this issue has not yet been resolved. In our recent article, "Perthes' disease and the search for genetic associations: collagen mutations, Gaucher's disease and thrombophilia", we performed a prospective case controlled study as well as a systematic review of 11 case control studies and found that the role of thrombophilia risk factors in LCPD could not be established (2). We do agree that the presence of factor V Leiden seems to be higher in LCPD patients as demonstrated in this study and it also showed a trend towards statistical significance in our literature review. On the other hand, the same systematic review found no evidence of a higher prevalence of prothrombin mutations G20210A in LCPD patients. Since the prevalence of genetic thrombophilia mutations is not equal in different populations, the result of finding this mutation in 5.3% in patients and 2.1% in the controls may be unique to this population (3).
The use of adult controls as references for tests in pediatric patients may yield some misinterpretation of results. For example: protein S levels are age related and to be considered low should be 2 standard deviations from the age adjusted normal value. In this study (1), levels below 67U/dL were considered low. This cut off value may be true in the adult population, which made up the majority of the control group, yet it may be within normal levels in the LCPD patients whose lowest age when tested was 2.8 years (4-5). In cases where pediatric age- adjusted controls cannot be matched with the patient group, it would have been advisable to repeat testing and confirm the diagnosis of suspected protein S deficiency by testing first degree family members. Factor VIII is an acute phase reactant that may rise in stress related situations, following infections or vaccinations. Thus, levels should be measured repeatedly, preferably following some time interval, in the non-acute phase, to secure a positive result. According to the literature, only levels above 150% may be considered as risk factors for venous thromboembolism (6). Again, among pediatric patients frequently exposed to viral infections or vaccinations, there is a high likelihood of detecting occasionally high factor VIII levels as compared to adult controls, especially if patients were not uniformly tested during the course of their disease with some FVIII tests obtained at acute phase. Considering the above and the results of previous studies, it seems that a clear conclusion that thrombophilia is a risk factor in the pathogenesis of LCPD may not be validated and the suggestion of anticoagulant therapy in these patients is certainly premature. The association of factor V Leiden mutations and LCPD is an important finding that should be further investigated.

|YOU CAN HELP US make sure that our distributional information is correct and current. If you know that a plant occurs in a wild, reproducing state in a Jepson bioregion NOT highlighted on the map, please contact us with that information. Please realize that we cannot incorporate range extensions without access to a voucher specimen, which should (ultimately) be deposited in an herbarium. You can send the pressed, dried collection (with complete locality information indicated) to us (e-mail us for details) or refer us to an accessioned herbarium specimen. Non-occurrence of a plant in an indicated area is difficult to document, but we will especially value your input on those types of possible errors (see automatic conversion of distribution data to maps).
