Question: I’ve just paid off my mortgage if it be not that the Halifax has said that they do not have my deeds. I also checked the Land Registry which said it had no information on my house. In a word, help! What on earth do I do to prove I’m proprietor if I want to sell in the future? I bought the property in 1984. D Gurney, via email

Antony Gormley’session One and Other is a very British work of business, putting medium British Joes on the empty fourth plinth and letting them do their diverting British thing. It deserves, and is receiving, a very British welcome.
One of the things that must most run aground the tourist on arriving at Trafalgar Square is how utterly past help we are as a nation at material the most of our public spaces. In any other city in any civilised part of the world, a square as big and glorious as this one would contain al fresco coffee-houseésession, icy beers and tanned people relaxing in the open air. What do we have? Pigeons.

When you invest a summit 3 round pick on a starting pitcher, you expect that pitcher to be one of the best, most consistent arms in the league all season diffuse. Johan Santana has been that jar year in and year gone out, but last season something changed. His strikeout numbers took a substantial dive from their previous levels. All was forgiven, however, as Johan managed a 2.53 ERA and 1.15 WHIP. To start the 2009 season, Johan looked like his old self again collecting at in the smallest degree 7 strikeouts in 9 of his first 10 starts. Since May 27th, the last game in which place his strikeout total was over 4, something has changed in Santana’session game. Something has wreaked havoc on his strikeout totals and in the minds of his fantasy owners.
At one point in the middle of June, there was a noticeable dip in Johan’s velocity. This could have been a sign of the classic “dead arm” period that many pitchers rush through at one point throughout the season. During this time the strikeouts did fall off. However, because that span his velocity has crept back up, yet the strikeouts remain down. Interestingly enough, it may not be Santana’s fastball that is the cause of concern. It’sitting the way he uses it.
