The problem is that, for all the hype these nanny groups get themselves into, they're among the few watching broadcast tv. Even the children they're supposedly 'protecting' via government interference don't watch it. And for the very few watchers among us who've attained sufficient adulthood so as not to take offense at everything, all they want to do is push broadcast tv into oblivion faster, and force us to pay for tv adults can watch. Back off, and turn off the tv if all you can do is be offended. We're always presching limited government; prove it.

Is there any way we can get a list of the businesses that sponsor the most offensive programs? I have too much respect for my brain than to watch the mindless trash that is on TV so I don't have one, but I would be willing to boycott businesses that sponsor the filth.

Some people legitimately disagree with the standards you are sponsoring. How are their interests advanced and protected? Demonizing nudity and other so-called indecencies runs counter to what the marketplace appears to be requesting. These adjustments in programming probably aren't arbitrary. What do some people see in the world that the Deseret News and others are not seeing? Could it be freedom of expression...instead of fear, guilt, and shame?

Consider perhaps that the TV is not a babysitter to our children. With that in mind, if I don't like what I'm seeing or hearing, I can and I will change the channel. With those things said, no reason to petition the FCC. Unless of course you wish to have your moral standards enforced by the government, just remember the old cliche - it's a double edged sword. If you want to lead, do so by example, as soon as you start "restricting" or "prohibiting" something, you just invite backlash and raise the taboo level which makes it all the more enjoyable to those who you wished to censor in the first place.

Wow, what we have on TV is with decency standards. There is enough of our english vocabulary still available as is, I don't think the writers are much constrained. I vote we keep our not-really-decent decency standards that we have.

I am a conservative but I find it ironic that so many conservatives want the Government to step into their lives on this issue but get out of it in others. You have a simple solution if you don't like what is on TV: TURN IT OFF.

Profanity, course language, direct sexual content and ill-disguised sexual innuendos have become the cultural norm on TV and entertainment, but big business advertising dollars dedicated to the promotion of sexual products, constantly barrages even the youngest to this travesty. Safe programming like even the World Series etc happily spend those advertising dollars. There is no safe family time.

I agree there should be a safe harbor. There are other ways to get other content
for those who want it.
This reminds me of how lobbying has corrupted the food pyramid. Originally the science dictated that it be something else. But because of lobbying, it was changed to its current form.

56,000 is a very small percentage of 300,000,000. I don't think such a small group should legislate their values on everyone else. A better solution would be simply to not watch or listen to those shows that offend you. If enough folks don't tune in advertisers will not advertise on that show...that's how a program gets taken off the air...problem solved.

Why is it that every time an article appears about television, duly appointed
representatives from the "I Don't Watch Filthy TV Because I'm So
Enlightened" crowd show up, usually before anyone else, to tell us how
awesome they are? It seems they're awfully fascinated with an activity they
don't participate in.
As far as the quality of TV, it's simple-minded nonsense to label all TV (or all movies, or all music, or all anything) as trash or filth, etc. There are literally hundreds of options these days. You may not like what I like, but I doubt anyone can make a strong case that not a single program on the hundreds of channels out there is well-made, entertaining, or worthwhile in some way. If that's how you feel, you just haven't looked very hard.

The problem with people who just say "just don't watch it. Turn it
off", is that there are some very good shows and movies on tv... EXCEPT for
the fact that many muddy up the waters by throwing in 4-letter words and
"brief" nudity. Many of those shows won Academy and Emmy awards because
they had great story lines and great acting. So yes, there are those of us that
would really like to see those shows and movies (with our families) without
having to be exposed to the relatively short smutty parts. To make it worse, the
producers of those movies will sue anyone who even briefly edits them by
removing the garbage parts. So yes, it really would be great if the standards
committees did their jobs and maintained some decent standards... at least on
network television.
It's an irony that in the past 50 years we've advanced so far technologically to help our society, yet continue to digress as a people with our general morals. We then reap the results with extreme violence in society, more divorces, more mental illness, etc. Are we really that blind and stupid to continue??

I see at least 2 consequences with this ruling:
1- More TV programs will join the rush to be "edgy" and in the end will not be that much different from one another. It's quite easy to add sleaze, profanity, nudity, violence, etc. so the market will get even more crowded than it is. How will HBO differentiate itself? Programs that have quality writing, that actually educate, uplift and inform people will be the ones to differentiate. I currently have hundreds of channels and only a few I care about. I will probably soon join the millions who do without cable or satellite. This will hasten the move towards TV on demand.
2- Rudeness, coarseness, violence and lewdness will continue to grow until and whenever we brush up against it, or a major tragedy occurs eg. Sandy Hook or Aurora, we will argue about the causes of why we are so violent and uncaring for one another, without looking at ourselves and the way we spend money to "entertain" ourselves.

Tators: yes, we are that blind and stupid. Too many of us are on that freight
train to you-know-where; others are clamoring to get aboard, others try to flag
it down but get run over in the process.
SlopJo30: yes, there are hundreds, even thousands, of options available these days and most of them bad.
I mainly only watch the news on commercial channels. But even then, some of the female moderators dress like they want you fantasizing over their cleavage rather than listening to their reports. BYU TV--thanks for emphasizing the 'good in the world.' You may be our only hope left!

Is it possible to totally agree with the premise of the article and be concerned about increasing violence and sexuality on TV and still wonder why DESNEWS isn't more concerned about gun violence,20% of children in the US not knowing where their next meal is coming from, or 144,000 Americans dying in the last 4 years because they couldn't afford a doctor. I wonder, along with an early mormon general authority if we are not "straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel"

@Brian Utley,
It's got nothing to do with fear, shame, etc. TV is all about money and not some higher form of expression. We're not advocating shutting down political expression or educational TV. This is about smut and violence that degrades and "peddles flesh" in the name of "expression". You know that.
50K is about the same number who took the time to tell the FAA that they thought it was inane to relax THEIR rules and allow knives of any size on planes. I see a strong analogy with this issue.
As for those of you who think we should just turn it off and not care about what others are watching, there are consequences to our society. We should care what gets marketed (it IS about money after all) in this country. We need to find positive ways (e.g. enlighten on consequences) to let others know we don't like what is happening.

Having lived in Mississippi and having air broadcast stations from Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama, we had a campaign in 1978 to push for more decency back
then, and some of the stations responded back to me that if I didn't like
their station's programs, I could go to other stations as the Networks
decided what the stations had. I believe KSL is in that same bind with network
broadcast programs as they are affiliated contractually to carry those programs,
even with marginal decency. Over the year, for one reason or another KSL has
changed Networks but the problem exists on all networks and all stations to a
degree. Public television and radio are not exempt from those problems. You
just have to cautious of what your family has access to and with cable or
satellite networks they can even be more of a problem if one subscribes to
certain networks or programs.
This situation has not gotten better with a government that wants to push all forms of morality issues that may be against what the majority want. You can't legislate kindness and morality, even though, I believe, the founding fathers had morality as their hope for America.

This appears to be an issue that the folks who normally champion for less government intrusion into Americans lives are all for it in (this instance) because of their sensitivity to what is deemed descent. It's kind of like saying I'm all for less government except when I'm for more government. It's really hard to take someone like that seriously on anything.

The "violence is worse than the sex". Forensic shows sure beat "Perry Mason" or "Matlock" with the graphics. "The Vampire Diaries" had an early episode where two girls were in a living room and a vampire came in the back door. He ordered them to let in his friend. He then bit into one girl's neck and blood spurted symptomatic of the sexual act. He then ordered his friend to "make her suffer" in regard to the other because she resisted. So, where are the women's rights groups in regard to the exploitation of women?. This is the CW Network. Now, we have "Hannibal" (Lector)NBC to mimick "Dexter" on cable. The tv "powers that be" do not care about the old. They are after the money of the young and to exploit them. Credit card companies won't complain either. Isn't it about time that someone step up and castigate the FCC and those that appoint its governing board? Obama is the current head of the responsibility "food chain". However, I don't hear any Republicans saying anything either. It's all about "ka ching".

How to check your electrical system is safe
There are some tell-tale signs that your system is out of date and unsafe to work on (old-style rubber-sheathed cable, for example). But even if you live in a modern house with an electrical system that's been professionally checked and approved in the past ten years, things can still go wrong. So make sure it's safe before you begin work.
If you're in any doubt, get it checked by a qualified electrician.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

The Street Machines Of Scott SullivanWritten by on January 22, 2013 Contributors: Wes Allison There are names that are synonymous with HOT ROD magazine, and the '80s and early '90s established Scott Sullivan as one of 'em.
Scott first got attention with his Pro Street '67 Nova, which was HOT ROD's '79 Street Machine of the Year. It became a benchmark for the Pro Street movement that exploded only a few years later. But he truly lit the world, and the magazine, on fire in 1988 when then-editor Jeff Smith flew to Scott's home garage shop in Dayton, Ohio, hopped in the now-famous Cheez Whiz '55 Chevy Pro Streeter, and the two of them drove it to California, where they ended up at Los Angeles County Raceway and ran in the mid-10s after the 2,000-mile cross-country drive. This was when the fat-tired Pro cars were pretty much just fairgrounds cruisers. The Whiz could win at nearly any car show it went to with flawless paint (at least before the drive), a fully functional interior that bettered many of the top street rods of the day, and the obvious ability to make the long haul, years before either the Victory Tour or Power Tour™ were even conceived. The story of the road trip was called "Pro Interstate," in the Dec. '88 issue, and the car was chosen for HOT ROD's Hot Rod of the Year in the same issue.
Unlike so many of the cars of any genre built in the '80s, especially the Pro Streeters, the Cheez Whiz '55 is only a little bit dated with its dipped-in-color look (no chrome, all paint) and airbrushed graphics. Even so, if somebody built it tomorrow, we'd strongly consider shooting a feature on it. It's that cool.
This is just one of the hot rods Scott has built over the years, in addition to a ton of fully custom bikes, all out of a cramped, little garage behind his house, where he still builds cars today. He's nowhere close to wealthy—never has been—and wouldn't have a checkbook car even if he won the lottery tomorrow. Everything you see comes from his creative mind and bloody knuckles.
The '57
Far less famous than Cheez Whiz is Scott's '57 that followed. He first saw this car when he was nine years old and, over the course of a decade, became friends with the owner, who had owned it since 1964. Scott helped build it through constant iterations, eventually painting it black, removing the straight axle, and installing the American Racing wheels. The owner got tired of it, and Scott bought it, but soon sold it to a guy in Tennessee, who sold it to a guy in California, and it flipped through several other owners before ending up with Scott's buddy Jim Parsons (who still has it). Scott says, "All we've done to it is maintenance stuff, and he drives it all over the place. He loves it and will never sell it."
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Scott's '55 was one of the very first non-street rods to use brushed trim and wheels, a look he fell in love with during a trip to Boyd Coddington's shop, where he saw brushed wheels on a high-end car.By today's standards, this is a very clean, traditional interior, but in 1988, it was fantastic. The glovebox door hides all the switches and a Kenwood equalizer, and the rear seat is still there even though the car is tubbed.Scott bought an LS6 crate motor from his Chevy dealer and called John Lingenfelter for a cam recommendation, and by the time the call was over, he shipped the whole thing to Lingenfelter. Lingenfelter then threw everything away—except the block, rods, and heads—and built it into a 496.The interior is stock with turquoise upholstery, but Scott originally thought a '58 Chevy coral-colored interior would look better. However, he chickened out and played it safe, a move he still regrets. A full Kenwood stereo system powers 22 hidden speakers in the car.The engine is nothing radical, a Racing Head Service 383 from years ago that Scott put a Lingenfelter box intake on and painted it with one of his funky graphics schemes. He would like to upgrade the computer, but with 20-year-old software, he can't find a laptop to program it. The transmission is a Doug Nash five-speed.

i am trying to install centos 5.3 with kickstart but it displaying "unable to download kickstart file. please modify the kickstart parameter" what is the environment required in server to install kickstart in client through NFS
Get on a working centos box.
go thru the app and set all the options you require, including your installation tree. ie: nfs://10.10.10.10/centos (personally I use an FTP server)
save the config file and put it on a web server somewhere.
get the "netinstall" image of centos 5.4/3, when at the CentOS splash screen type
That's it. Make sure the host computer has an active uplink and can receive a DHCP address of course! :P
your server should have a installation source (copy of the cds/dvds or mounted isos) mountable via nfs and a directory with your kickstart files, also mountable via nfs.
for more details, take a look at the rhel documentation:
but it could be your client environment is not setup correctly:
hope this helps you to get started.

VTB Capital acquired a stake in OAO Rosbank from Vladimir Potanin's Interros Holding Co., as the investment arm of Russia's second-largest lender said it sees a "strong growth outlook" in the country's banking industry.
VTB Capital, which bought a 19.3 percent stake in Rosbank, didn't provide financial details. Societe Generale SA controls 64.7 percent of the Moscow-based bank, according to Rosbank's website.
"This is a very attractive asset, which has a lot of potential because of a strong growth outlook of the Russian banking industry and the expected synergy with Societe Generale's assets and franchises," VTB Capital Chief Executive Officer Yuri Soloviev said in the statement.
State-run VTB Capital overtook Renaissance Capital as the country's biggest underwriter with a 12.3 percent share of this year's stock sales, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Rosbank had 721.3 billion rubles ($23 billion) in assets and 44.3 billion rubles in equity as of Oct. 1, according to the statement. The bank operates more than 600 outlets in 70 regions across Russia.
Rosbank had a market value of 86.9 billion rubles based on today's closing share price.

Too bad there isn't, to my knowledge, a place to discuss ideas. I used to wonder how history "got wrong" on this series. I wondered if there was a rogue voyager going around disrupting time. My best idea is this: the Omni looks to be the state of the art in personal time travel technology. What would have been the old days technology? Probably a portal or a capsule device (like in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" that you stepped into. And perhaps in the early days of time travel, sometimes travelers were careless and introduced small errors. So, by the time the technology was refined down to the Omni, the Voyagers institute was founded to start sending properly-trained men and women to fix things. Somehow, somewhere, they obtained a record of proper, unaltered history. Otherwise, I can't imagine how else history could spontaneously "go wrong" and "need a push" to help it along!

- I have a theory. Meeno Peluce cried so much in every episode that the resulting flood of water ripped a hole in the space-time continuum, forcing Bogg to repair the damage on a weekly basis! --M.Neko 07:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm Not sure how the Voyagers! started but thats a good therory as they never state in the Show, but they do show Drake in the "The Trial of Phinius Bogg" and in the Last episode he turned rouge and started messing up history so I'm assumeing they have had this happen bebore such as quantum leap the the good and bad leapers. --Chad 05:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Why history changed in the first place was a somewhat annoying plot device they never really explained. Another problem the show had was it was dependent the Great Man theory of history and if you had seen James Burke's Connections (which had used the Great Moment theory) in 1979 things didn't always make sense. Finally the problem of what if the world had turned out better and you had to fix things never came up.--BruceGrubb (talk) 21:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Omni = ?[edit]
I may be misremembering this but wasn't Omni short for Omnichron or somesuch?--126.96.36.199 20:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't believe they really say at all. --Chad 05:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I remember them calling it something like the Omnichron, as well. If you read Voyagers fan fiction (here, for example: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3816076/2/The_Crime_of_All_Time_TVC_Story_03) they also call it the Omnichron. DFS (talk) 22:09, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

This article presents a preliminary attempt to characterise Upper Thai-Malay Peninsula prehistoric iron technologies based on assemblages from two recently excavated coastal sites: Khao Sam Kaeo and Phu Khao Thong. These are the earliest known sites involved in the early trans-Asian exchange that connected the eastern Indian Ocean to the South China Sea from the mid-first millennium bc. It is from this period that iron assemblages start appearing at both continental and insular Southeast Asian sites. Three models have been offered confronting an indigenous vs. Chinese or South Asian impetus for the introduction of iron metallurgy in Southeast Asia. These models are discussed in the light of the metallographic and compositional analyses of iron and slag assemblages from these two sites using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry, energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and slag inclusion analysis techniques, together with other production materials from these and other contemporaneous Southeast Asian sites.

An electrical fire in Topeka Sunday caused around $25,000 worth of damage. It happened at a group at 615 southwest 9th around 2:00 p.m. The home is a resident care facility, which provides room and board for mentally ill patients.
Owner Bob Ellis says the residents smelled smoke and warned each other to get out. Four were hospitalized for smoke inhalation. Ellis says he has every intention of opening back up as soon as possible.
The nine residents are staying at an adjacent group home owned by Ellis, until theirs re-opens.

Choosing a picture to "frame my future" was very difficult because I do not know what the future holds for me. I took this picture of the ocean and the pier in Myrtle Beach, NC and chose it because it is an example of how ever-changing my life is; like the sea. I am like the pier standing strong while there is so much chaos, like the waves, going around me. It illustrates how unpredictable and crazy life can be. I hope you like my photograph.

by Ian Mcewan
1. Saturday's epigraph comes from Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow, whose novel Herzog features an academic facing the shortcomings of his life. The novel was published in 1964; how might the history of the early Sixties have influenced Bellow's perspective? Forty years later, how does Ian McEwan's protagonist embody current events?
2. At the end of Saturday's first paragraph, as Henry wakes too early, McEwan writes, "And he's entirely himself, he is certain of it, and he knows that sleep is behind him: to know the difference between it and waking, to know the boundaries, is the essence of sanity." To what else does Henry awaken as the novel progresses? In the book and in the world, who remains asleep (and unaware of their slumber)?
3. When Henry hears about the cargo plane's safe landing, McEwan observes, "Schrödinger's cat was alive after all." How does Schrödinger's thought-experiment, allowing two outcomes to co-exist during a period of uncertainty, apply to Henry's daily life? How does it express the nature of human thought during times of anxiety?
4. Was the collision between Henry's car and Baxter's an accident? What visual cues (the type of car Henry associates with criminals, the "scarecrow" clothes that make him look like something other than a doctor) stoke the fire? What class conflicts are projected as the men argue? What determines who has more power in that situation?
5. Discuss the irony of the novel's title. Henry intended to spend the day relaxing; does the modern world allow for any true respite from worry?
6. In your opinion, what accounts for the bliss between Henry and his wife? When he met her, did her vulnerability (through illness) feed their attraction, or was it merely a means for them to find one another? What accounts for Henry's uneasy relationship with his father-in-law?
7. In researching Saturday, Ian McEwan spent months observing brain surgery. What parallels exist between a writer's craft and a surgeon's? What is the effect of McEwan's decision to cast Henry in the specialty of neurosurgery (as opposed to thoracic or orthopedic surgery, for example)? How does Henry's ease with medical terminology, but discomfort with the vocabulary of literature, influence your reading experience?
8. Jay Strauss moved to the U.K. in part because of his enthusiasm for socialized medicine. How would you describe the healthcare system presented in the novel?
9. Do you think Jay personifies most or few Americans? Is he more competitive than Henry?
10. As Henry watches his mother's dementia worsen, he labels the physiological reasons for her decline. Does his familiarity with science ease or aggravate the sadness of losing her?
11. One of Henry's last errands in the novel is to listen to attend a performance by Theo's band. What does blues music, along with its American flavor, mean to Theo? Does Henry experience this art differently from the way he hears Daisy's work?
12. Why was Baxter's invasion of Henry's house essential to this novel? In what way can this scene be explored as a metaphor for politics, war, even global economics? Why was it also necessary for Henry's security system to be proven ineffective that night?
13. Using an anthology or website, read Matthew Arnold's nineteenth-century masterwork "Dover Beach" in its entirety. What caused it to resonate with Baxter's memories? Can you think of any contemporary poems in free verse that would have served Daisy's purpose so well?
14. What saves Henry's family from Baxter and his cohorts: Poetry? Pregnancy? Bravery? Intelligence? Luck? Divine intervention? Baxter's illness? How would you have reacted in a similar situation?
15. As Henry returns to the hospital that night, he realizes this is where he feels most comfortable – even more so than when he's in the world of alleged leisure. Earlier in the novel, McEwan describes how orderly Henry's mother was; Henry wishes he had just once invited her to the operating theater. Is this sense of order and belonging innate to Henry's profession, or is it something Henry has ascribed to it? In what locale do you personally feel you're at the top of your game? Is this the same locale that puts you at ease?
16. Why is Henry willing to perform surgery on Baxter? What keeps Henry from craving the revenge Rosalind anticipated? Would you be able to drop the charges, as Henry hopes to do? How do you respond to McEwan's questions: "Is this forgiveness? . . . Or is [Henry] the one seeking forgiveness?"
17. Can Henry's surgery on Baxter be called revenge? Is his probing of Baxter's brain a violation? Or, is Henry's magnanimous act a victory of enlightened liberalism over Baxter's primal power politics?
18. During Henry's reunion with Daisy, they waver between words of affection and a rapid-fire ideological debate about Iraq. How would such a debate have unfolded in your household?
19. Four generations are presented in Saturday, including Daisy's child. What does each generation bestow, or hope to bestow, upon the next? What spurred such an exceptional level of accomplishment among the members of the Perowne family?
20. Discuss the element of storytelling itself in Saturday. Do the stories disseminated within this novel – by the broadcasters, the protesters, the lawless, the keepers of family legacy – all describe the same reality? Who or what has the power to influence what we believe? What literary devices did Ian McEwan use to evoke realism in this novel?
21. Examining the works of Ian McEwan as a continuum, how does Saturday enrich the portrait of life he has been crafting throughout his career?

With 'Spider-Man,' and Others, Sony Seeks to Revive Fortunes
By LAURA M. HOLSON
Published: May 6, 2002
LOS ANGELES, May 5— Giddy fans lined the red carpet at the movie premiere of Sony Pictures' ''Spider-Man'' here last Monday evening.
''Can you sneak me in?'' a young woman in a U.C.L.A. sweatshirt and persuasively short skirt whispered to a photographer. A talent agent, picking up his passes, crowed to his date, ''This is going to be huge.''
But it may have been an awestruck 12-year-old boy who captured the essence of this pop-culture moment. ''They're going to make $85 million their first weekend,'' he gasped.
He was off by about $30 million. ''Spider-Man,'' which opened in theaters last Friday, shattered the box-office record for any opening weekend, taking in an estimated $114 million. That far exceeded the previous record of $90 million set last fall by ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.''
A big debut for ''Spider-Man'' was what Sony executives had been hoping for last Monday at the post-screening party, where guests sipped Green Goblin martinis and raved about Tobey Maguire's star turn in the title role. ''We have a lot riding on this film,'' said Sir Howard Stringer, the chief executive of the Sony Corporation of America, whose Columbia Pictures unit released ''Spider-Man.''
Columbia hopes ''Spider-Man,'' and its summer lineup of other would-be blockbusters, can return the studio to a status it has not known since 1997, when Columbia and its Sony Pictures siblings made $1.3 billion at the domestic box office -- still a record -- with hits like ''Jerry Maguire,'' ''Air Force One'' and ''Men in Black.''
Since then, Columbia has had more bombs than blockbusters, and its share of the domestic box office has been no higher than fourth place. But in Hollywood, where fortunes change with the whims of moviegoers, Columbia is, for a few minutes at least, the envy of its peers.
Other hoped-for hits Columbia will be rolling out through mid-July include sequels to ''Men in Black'' and ''Stuart Little.'' There is also ''Enough,'' a thriller with Jennifer Lopez, as well as ''Mr. Deeds,'' an adaptation of the 1936 Columbia classic ''Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.''
The Sony Pictures Entertainment division, which besides Columbia includes the Sony Pictures Classics and Screen Gems units, also has a production deal with Revolution Studios, the company formed by Joe Roth, the former chairman of Walt Disney Studios. Sony is banking on a summer hit with Revolution's ''XXX,'' an action film starring Vin Diesel and directed by Rob Cohen, who teamed up last year on ''The Fast and the Furious.''
Sony executives in the United States know a big year may be essential to stay in favor with their bosses back in Tokyo. Since the Sony Corporation of Japan bought Columbia and other assets for $3.4 billion in cash in 1989, Sony Pictures Entertainment has covered its costs and made a profit only once -- last year, after cutting costs by $150 million.
The biggest belt-tightening came at Sony Pictures' television production operation, which has cut back sharply on the number of shows it will produce.
''We asked ourselves the tough questions in each of Sony Pictures' businesses to ensure the underlying economics made sense in the current environment,'' said Robert S. Wiesenthal, chief financial officer of Sony in the United States.
Hollywood executives have made a sport of speculating if or when Sony executives in Japan might simply give up and sell the entertainment properties, which also include the Sony Music Group. Unlike other media companies, Sony -- a foreign-owned company -- cannot own a broadcast or cable network, which critics say has hampered its growth. But Sir Howard says that Sony is intent on pursuing its long-nurtured notion of melding entertainment with the consumer electronics business, a strategy he said the company's executives would amplify this Thursday at an investor conference.
Sir Howard has explored merging Sony's PlayStation video-game assets with the company's entertainment properties and forming a separate company, according to several executives apprised of the plan, who say the idea failed to muster interest in Tokyo. Last fall, Sony Pictures also had merger discussions with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. But these executives say the deal was scotched by Sony officials in Japan, who feared they would be forced to share power with Kirk Kerkorian, M.G.M.'s largest shareholder.
Now, even if Columbia hits the summer sweepstakes, the questions include how much profit these expensive films will make and whether the studio can sustain momentum. ''Other studios have had big years, then seen profitability fall the next year,'' said Tom Wolzien, a media analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein. ''The trick is to keep it going forward.''
That may prove particularly challenging because John Calley, the 72-year-old chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, is set to retire next year. Much of the credit for Columbia's summer slate lands squarely at the feet of Mr. Calley and Amy Pascal, 44, chairwoman of Columbia Pictures, who oversees development and production at the studio.

This Doesn't Happen Here
I am a U.S. cultural historian specializing in the history of medicine, with a particular interest in how encounters with health and illness have been transformed in the 20th century's consumer culture. My work explores these issues in the context of modern prescription pharmaceuticals, especially sedatives, stimulants, and painkillers. Among other places, this work has appeared in
American Quarterly
American Journal of Public Health
The Atlantic Monthly Online
, and in a book,
Happy Pills in America: From Miltown to Prozac
(Johns Hopkins, 2009). I am currently working on a history of prescription drug abuse in the 20th century.
Happy Pills in America is a cultural history of modern psychiatric drugs framed around the stories of Miltown, Valium, and Prozac--three of the best known and most widely used medicines in the postwar era. Beginning with the emergence of a medical marketplace for psychoactive drugs in the postwar consumer culture, Happy Pills traces how "happy pills" became embroiled in Cold War gender battles and the explosive politics of the "war against drugs"--and how feminists brought the two issues together in a dramatic campaign against Valium addiction in the 1970s. A final chapter examines how Prozac's boosters revived faith in wonder drugs by successfully joining consumerism and biological psychiatry to conjure visions of unbounded psychological free choice.

Bruna was super hospitable, lovable and has warm personality. The room was perfect and has everything you need. Her attention for details is superb and she was always available to help.
The location of the accommodation is in a lovely, quiet and safe neighborhood easy to reach from the Mestre train Station.
Bus and tram stops, local store and market, pizza places and bakery are in 10 min walking distance.
We enjoyed are 5 days stay and we couldn't wish for a more better located accommodation. Without doubt, we would easy recommended it to friends.
Thank you Bruna, huge hug. Khadija and June.
Actually I'm not sure if I put my review at the right place. Before we started our trip to Venice, we've booked this room as our accommodation. But I believe per mistake we've got another apartment which located at Piazza del Mercato when we arrived. It's a little pity that we didn't stay at the same room as showed on the photo's. But what we've got was also a good one. Clean and neat, very nice located. Bus stop, supermarket, cafes, even a traditional market; everything we've needed are within walking distance. We had a very pleasant time staying in Venice.
It was a wunderful Weekend in Venice. Thx tollen Bruna for everything. Great accomodation.
Perfect! Very pleasent stay. Thanks for the very nice hospitality.
Thanks for everything!
Great place, very clean and it was nice to have a tea and cappuccino and a small breakfast. The bathroom was spotless and we had it all to ourselves. The only downside is not being in Venice, but there are busses going there quite often. Bruna was a great host.
Everything was perfect.... Bruna is a lovely Woman, who wants to do eberything for you. We didn't find the Adresse and so she pick us up and moved us with her own car to our lovely appartment. Our cleany room was very nice and we had a really great short time in venice. We will come back. Thank you Bruna! (And Sorry for my english-mistakes )
Thank you so much Bruna. We had a nice room. At piazza del Mercado our car had a good parking place. Bruna was very helpful for every kind of question, especially the question regarding a photograph for a session in Venice with after wedding fotos (honey moon). Best regards. Tobias & Elizabeth
This was my first visit to Venice and I'm glad I came just to Bruna. Room very clean and beautifully decorated, the bathroom as well. Exactly like the pictures. Separate entrance gives a sense of privacy. In-room coffee, tea, light breakfast, even drinking on the road. Bruna and Tony are very nice and helpful. The bus stop is 5 minutes. walk from the apartment. Journey to the center of Venice lasts no more than 15 minutes. Close to a great restaurant with delicious Italian cuisine and normal prices. With a clear conscience I can recommend this accommodation. I hope someday to return.

text: Our Verdict The Marantz didn't win a 2009 Award by accident – here it's as formidable as ever For Looks, build, finish exciting, cohesive and adaptable sound Against Some rivals are even more extravagantly specified Reviewed on 2nd September 2009 It all happened in a bit of a rush for the Marantz PM6003: First Test in October 2009 and a Best Buy Award less than a month later. After that meteoric rise, though, the Marantz has had an untroubled incumbency – until now it hasn't had to formally face down a single rival. It remains a good looker – streets ahead of most of the competition by the simple expedient of having some curved edges. Specification is more than adequate, too, with 5 line-level inputs (incorporating two recording loops), a moving magnet phono stage, switching for two sets of speakers and defeatable tone controls. The remote control is as classy and comprehensive as the rest of the package. Playing Nina Simone's hair-raising version of Weill's Pirate Jenny, the '6003 is immediately and reassuringly impressive. The traditional Marantz two-channel virtues of detail, fluency and comfortable listenability are to the fore, but in the PM6003 they're joined by a welcome injection of purposeful drive, dismissive dynamic agility and unshakeable solidity and focus. Low frequency extension is considerable, the soundstage cohesive and the malevolence and glee in Simone's vocal is delivered in spades. Smooth yet authoritativeThe Marantz integrates and separates each individual thread of a recording with cashmere smoothness, and has the iron-fisted authority to deal with the most awkward tempo changes and the steepest dynamic peaks and troughs with ease. More after the break Undoubtedly the best way to listen to the Marantz is with 'source direct' selected; bypassing the tone, balance and (frivolous) loudness controls brings greater benefits here than with any other amp in this class. Configured this way, the Marantz displays powers of insight and resolution that make its position as our current sub-£500 integrated stereo amplifier of choice completely justifiable. So capable is the PM6003, in fact, that it's forced a couple of very well regarded rivals down to four-star status and (just about) fended off an extremely spirited challenge from Rotel in the shape of the RA-04SE. It's not a huge leap of the imagination to see the Marantz in the box seat to achieve back-to-back Awards, and recommendations don't come any less equivocal than that.

Arnaoon Village:
The Serene and Simple Life
ARNAOON is a 300-plus year old Lebanese village that existed during the Ottoman days and its name stood strong throughout the years keeping its geography rising on a hilltop over the historic Msaylha Fortress along the Batroun Highway, North of Lebanon. The villagers back then decided to defend its glory and refused to give it away to the Ottomans. Team Arnaoon also decided to cherish this heritage by reviving the old houses' ruins, beautifying the scattered landscapes and educating generations on respecting Mother Nature. This and much more renders Arnaoon a heart-pounding village embracing a bouquet of locations and services fully hosting memorable celebrations and quality moments ranging from private occasions and weddings to corporate events as well as lodging in its old houses or enjoying the generous Lebanese cuisine in its exquisite old style restaurant. Come and smell the aroma of our blazing chimney logs.

On April 12, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops published "Our First, Most Cherished Liberty," [1] its latest statement decrying alleged governmental attacks on religious freedom. Responding to the federal regulations requiring certain religious employers to include contraception coverage in employee health plans, the bishops declared that accommodation is not an option. Even though the Obama administration issued proposed regulations that would shift responsibility for handling such coverage to third parties, the bishops insist that an "accommodation is not to be sought…by resorting to equivocal words and deceptive practices." When it comes to religious liberty, the bishops argue, there can be no compromise. In statement after statement, the U.S. bishops treat religious freedom as an absolute. Yet they haven't always seen it that way.
The church in the United States has suffered a real and significant loss of religious liberty over the past ten years, and the bishops have said little about it. In 2002, the Diocese of Manchester, New Hampshire, was put under the supervision of the state's attorney general when it came to policing its child sexual-abuse policies. The diocese agreed to provide personnel training as specified by the attorney general. It also allowed the attorney general to conduct annual audits,...

In this photo taken Monday, Oct. 3, 2011, Robert Ramirez , of the Stockton Monument Company, removes the lettering on a stencil before sandblasting a headstone that will be used to replace one of the offensive grave makers using the n-word, for the Mormon Island Relocation Cemetery. In 1954 the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers had the remains of 36 bodies buried at the Gold Rush-era Negro Hill Cemetery moved to construct Folsom Lake. When the bodies were moved, the graves were marked by stones with a derogatory term for African-American. Now, some 60 years later the offensive markers are being replaced with newly made granite stones. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)

make a liar outta me...please
"Whenever I see those crimson jerseys and crimson helmets, I feel humbled to have played football for Alabama. Other players in the NFL talk to me about their schools and their traditions. I just smile knowing the immense love Alabama fans have for our school and its football program. I'm proud to be a part of that Crimson Tide heritage."

Thirty years after Elway left school, Stanford is finally retiring his No. 7 jersey. The former Cardinal quarterback and No. 1 overall pick of the 1983 NFL draft will have his jersey retired during halftime of sixth-ranked Stanford's home game against No. 2 Oregon on Thursday night, Nov. 7. He'll join Jim Plunkett (No. 16) and Ernie Nevers (No. 1) as the only players whose jerseys have been enshrined by the program. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma, File)
