BRENTWOOD Town boss Les Whitton was angry with his team'sdefensive lapses after they threw away a 2-1 lead at home to WalhamAbbey.
But despite those frailties the Blues manager is more thansatisfied with Town's start to the season as they sit top of theRyman League Division One North table and unbeaten so far thisseason.
"The two goals we gave away were from set-pieces," said Whitton.
"A few of the players seemed to switch off and you just can't dothat - we are going to work on it in training it just wasn't goodenough.
"The start we have had, well, it's going really well at themoment, you can't ask for much better than being top of the …
LONDON - Iran said a female British sailor seized with 14 other crewmembers would be released Wednesday or Thursday, softening Tehran's position by suggesting their boats' alleged entry into Iranian waters may have been a mistake.
Britain, meanwhile, said it was freezing talks on all other issues with Iran until it freed all 15 crew members seized last week, and the British military released what it said was proof its boats were within Iraqi territorial waters when they were seized.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki discounted the possibility of an escalation in the crisis, suggesting the British vessels may have made a mistake.
"This is a violation …

Rosicky is back after missing friendlies against Turkey and the United States in May due to an ankle injury.
Striker Milan Baros is not available due to an Achilles tendon problem.
The Aug. 11 game in Liberec is …
ABSTRACT
For single channel recordings, the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of kinetic rates and conductance is well established. A direct extrapolation of this method to macroscopic currents is computationally prohibitive: it scales as a power of the number of channels. An approximated MLE that ignored the local time correlation of the data has been shown to provide estimates of the kinetic parameters. In this article, an improved approximated MLE that takes into account the local time correlation is proposed. This method estimates the channel kinetics using both the time course and the random fluctuations of the macroscopic current generated by a homogeneous population of ion …
