The NZ Transport Agency advises motorists using State Highway 1 at Plimmerton that the roadworks season is swinging into gear as crews swoop in to make roads safer while the weather is warm and dry.
Agency Wellington operations manager Mark Owen says drivers are likely to encounter roadworks over the next few months and should leave time up their sleeve for potential delays.
Road crews are digging up a one- kilometre stretch of SH1 past the weigh station and laying down a new road.
A chip seal surface will then be laid over the top of the new road.
This work, which will improve the road surface, will take much of December, weather permitting.
A second phase of work is planned in February, when crews will improve the road surface around the roundabout and resurface it with asphalt.
Mr Owen says the roundabout, near the garden centre, is under constant stress because cars turn and brake on the surface all day.
A deep layer of asphalt will be laid to make the road surface more durable and provide a more skid- resistant surface, which will reduce the risk of skid-related crashes.
"We'll be carrying the work out overnight because this reduces disruption, but there will be speed restrictions during the day as we need to keep speeds down to allow the new road surface to cure."
Mr Owen says the highway will stay open at night but will be restricted to one lane.
The road will be fully open to commuter traffic during peak hours but outside commuter times there will be lane closures.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Consultants must appear when report released
THE review of the controversial fire-hall construction and land swap is complete but won't be released until the consultants who wrote it can be in Winnipeg.
City auditor Brian Whiteside notified Mayor Sam Katz, the city clerk and some councillors Friday that the only thing holding up its release is having staff from consulting firm Ernst & Young LLP in Winnipeg to present it.

"I am waiting the selection date so E&Y can confirm their availability to travel to Winnipeg to attend the meetings," the email from Whiteside states.
Many councillors believed the review of the $17.8-million fire-station construction program and the accompanying land swap was to be released Thursday.
When that didn't happen, councillors contacted Whiteside wanting to know the reason for the delay.
Katz issued a written statement Friday, saying arrangements will be made to hold a council seminar on the review.
"Logistics are being worked out now and as soon as arrangements are made, councillors will receive an invitation to a council seminar," Katz said.
Ernst & Young looked at the initial decision to build the four new fire stations, scrutinize the way the contracts for the facilities were awarded, assess the value for money taxpayers received, and examine all processes, controls and policies involved in the program.
Ernst & Young was also asked to make recommendations to city hall and to suggest disciplinary action, if required.
Many believe the findings of the review cost former fire chief Reid Douglas his job and other senior city executives will follow him once it's been released.
Coun. Paula Havixbeck said this week she was told the review will be presented to a special council seminar, followed by its public release.
The external review was sparked by a council revolt over how the contracts for four new fire stations were structured and awarded -- seemingly in a manner designed to avoid council scrutiny -- and a deal arranged in part by Reid to trade three surplus pieces of city land to developer Shindico for the land on which one of the stations was built, on Taylor Avenue.
That land swap was cancelled by council but the Taylor fire-hall land still belongs to Shindico.

#FlawedButFabulous update: Another day, another late goal, another win for Manchester United
Feb 2, 2013, 3:14 PM EST
For the same reason you won't turn off a Manchester United game when they're trying to hold a 2-1 lead over one of the worst teams in the league, you don't doubt the Red Devils as time ticks away on a 0-0. Even after he's spent 26 years at United, we still don't know how, exactly, Alex Ferguson gets his teams so supremely prepared for these situations, but he does.
That's why it was not only expected by anti-climatic when Wayne Rooney scored in the 79th minute at Craven Cottage, giving United a 1-0 win over Fulham. It was too early by Manchester United's standards. Where's the drama?
That came a few minutes before. Rafael da Silva, defending the right post on a corner kick, had to jump to head the go ahead goal off the Red Devil line. A couple of exchanges later and a long pass out of United's end sent Wayne Rooney hopping behind the ball into the Fulham box. Just inside the area he pulled up and opened his right foot onto a shot he put around Aaron Hughes and into Mark Schwarzer's net. Game.
MORE: Chelsea plays Mr. Hyde at Newcastle
Again they were flawed, nearly going down late to a team that's struggled all season. And again they were fabulous, a well executed counter giving them full points. For all their spells that lack control and the complains about their defending, Manchester United is still 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League ahead of tomorrow's Manchester City-Liverpool match.
But that defending which was so error-prone mid-week and has been so suspect all season held up today. There were nervous moments — off the line clearances from both Rafael and Robin van Persie – but the central pairing of Rio Ferdinand and Jonny Evans played well (particularly Evans, who recorded an assist on the only goal). If the Red Devils can keep two of Ferdinand, Evans, and Nemanja Vidic healthy at all times, they may have a chance in Champions League against Real Madrid.

Fulham also had a series of nice defensive plays in a game that should have had more than one goal, one that played out in very United fashion. Against the standard that we normally judge title contenders, giving up near-as many chances as you create would be a problem, particularly against a lower-half team.
But we're used to finding new ways to judge Manchester United. And against those standards, Saturday's was just a typical Red Devil performance.

Peterson ran for over 2,000 yards this season, the seventh back in NFL history to reach that milestone, and finished just nine yards shy of breaking the single-season rushing mark in what was likely an MVP season. (Who would you add to the list? Send comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.) 1|13 Mark Cunningham/Detroit Lions/Getty Images Calvin Johnson Calvin Johnson broke Jerry Rice's all-time single-season receiving record with 1,964 yards. 2|13 Otto Greule Jr Russell Wilson A third-round draft pick out of Wisconsin, Russell Wilson won the Seattle coaches over in camp and surprisingly earned the starting quarterback job. What he's done since is Rookie of the Year-worthy as the Seahawks are headed for the playoffs, thanks largely to his scrambling, passing and leadership. His 26 TD passes tied the rookie record set by Peyton Manning in 1998. 3|13 Christian Petersen/Getty Images Michael Vick and Andy Reid It just wasn't the Eagles' year. What began as an October slump manifested into an eight-game losing streak, with the notoriously passionate Philadelphia fan base calling for blood. Andy Reid, Michael Vick, Reid's coordinators -- the fans wanted them all gone. 4|13 Rob Carr Robert Griffin III In a rookie season full of record-breaking moments, Robert Griffin III may have celebrated most after helping the Redskins defeat the Dallas Cowboys in the last game of the entire NFL regular season to win the NFC East and qualify for the playoffs. 5|13 Stephen Brashear/AP Replacement referees This moment of infamy became a moment of glory for those who wanted the NFL to stop using replacement referees. A blown call gave the Seahawks an undeserved win and caused a national outcry. Before another NFL game was played, Roger Goodell and the owners were all but forced to reach an agreement with the normal officials. 6|13 Doug-Martin Doug Martin became the second player in league history to run for at least 250 yards and score four touchdowns in a game. His record-day against Oakland also was the first time a player had touchdown runs of 70+, 65+, and 45+ yards in a single game. 7|13 Harry How/Getty Images Drew Brees For the second consecutive year Drew Brees broke one of the biggest quarterback records in the game. This season Brees broke Johnny Unitas' 52-year record of 47 consecutive games with a touchdown pass. Brees' record-breaking 48th came on Oct. 7. Seven weeks later that streak came to an end at 54. 8|13 Jim Mone, Ross D. Franklin/AP Arizona Cardinals After the first month of the season, the Cardinals were 4-0 and the toast of the NFC West. But then October hit. November, too. It wasn't until Dec. 16 that their losing streak was finally broken, at nine. At the root of the problem was the team's lack of a viable quarterback. 9|13 Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/Getty Images Colin Kaepernick Your star quarterback goes down with an injury early in the season. Sounds bad, right? Not when you're the 49ers and you have Colin Kaepernick to step in for Alex Smith. Kaepernick became one of the breakout stars of the year with his stellar play. He was so good that even when Smith returned, coach Jim Harbaugh decided to ride the hot hand and stay with Kaepernick. 10|13 Charles-Tillman, Lance Briggs Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs both returned an interception for a touchdown in consecutive games, becoming the first teammates in NFL history to accomplish that feat. 11|13 Julio Cortez/AP Greg Schiano One of the biggest controversies to come out of this season was whether rookie Tampa Bay head coach Greg Schiano was right to tell his players to go after quarterback Eli Manning while he kneeled down in the game's final seconds. Schiano said he wanted to force a fumble, but what resulted was a series of hits that left the Giants angry. 12|13 Streeter Lecka/Getty Images Cam Newton Cam Newton discovered the pain of being in a sophomore slump. Last season's Offensive Rookie of the Year, Newton struggled through his first 10 games, going 2-8 with more interceptions than touchdowns. Newton recovered late in the season but the Panthers still fell short of the playoffs. 13|13 Next up NFL Peyton Manning showed in 2012 why he should not be doubted. Despite being released by the Colts after undergoing neck surgery, Manning quickly found his footing in Denver and led the Broncos to the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.

Meh, the lame extra work shows that she was truly desperate for fame. Her music prior to her Gaga character is totally different from the Euro-trash music she plays now. Oh well, she wanted to be famous, and all she had to do was continuously wear ridiculous costumes for shock value (i.e. the Madonna method).

i agree, she tries too hard to be different and its just lame, a truly talented person will get noticed on their talent, but she had to dress weird to take attention away from her lack of real talent, she just doesnt cut it and never will, just easy money for the people representing her, like that bieber kid, nothing but a marketing campaign, eventually everybody will laugh at themselves for ever being a fan

Arkansas Rating
There is poker in Arkansas! You will find over 6 live poker tables to play at. You will find the following games in Arkansas casinos: Simulcasting, Slot machines, Video Poker, Electronic Blackjack, Horse Racing, Horse Racing Machines, Greyhounds, Electronic Tables, Electronic Craps, Electronic Roulette, Limit Holdem, No Limit Holdem, Pot Limit Omaha, Omaha 8 or Better, Omaha Hi.
Arkansas Casinos and the Biggest Casino City in ArkansasArkansas has a total of 2 casinos and pari-mutuel facilities at your disposal which are spread out across 2 cities throughout the state. The city with the most is West Memphis with 1 casinos.
Biggest Casino / Gaming Facility in ArkansasOut of all casinos in Arkansas you'll find Southland Park Gaming & Racing to be the biggest. It has 1501 gaming machines and 0 table games. You can reach South Point Casino by phone at (870) 735-3670 or by clicking this link: Southland Park Gaming & Racing to see its information page.
Arkansas Casinos & Gambling: 2014
One of the only two places in Arkansas where any type gambling is legal, is in Hot Springs, AR, home of Oaklawn Park Racing & Gaming. If you're unfamiliar with Oaklawn, maybe the name Smarty Jones rings a bell. This is the racetrack where Smarty Jones got his start.
There is also Southland Park Gaming & Racing in West Memphis, Arkansas. Thousands of Arkansas residents flock to pari-mutuel (Dog/horse races) facilities during racing season to gamble on their favorite horses, but some residents still crave more. So with competition form neighboring states the legislature has allowed other forms of gambling and even extended casino hours. Southland is open 24 hours a day now.
Southland and Oaklawn are on opposite sides of the state with no legal action in between them.
Aside from these two venues, the closest gambling casinos for Arkansas residents are either in Mississippi or Oklahoma, depending on your location, a short drive from most parts of the state. Many residents are arguing its pointless to not bring in gambling to the state because residents are already spending their money playing elsewhere. The majority of Arkansas residents that enjoy gambling just end up contributing money to the neighboring states. This is revenue that could be benefiting Arkansas instead of their neighbors.
Putting the direct revenue generated from the casinos aside, casinos could bring far more to Arkansas, indirectly. By looking at the amount of tourism and people that Oaklawn brings to the state every year, we can get a good idea of how profitable casinos could be in other parts of the state. By legalizing gambling in the state of Arkansas, the state can bring tourism to an all time high, offering even more entertainment for out-of-state visitors.

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 04/14/10 -- Kaltura, Inc. (http://www.kaltura.com), developer of the first open source online video platform, announced today at the NAB Show 2010, that it has launched the Kaltura Exchange -- a global marketplace for publishers, developers, technology companies, and service providers to share and trade in video applications and services connected to the Kaltura platform. The Kaltura Exchange -- http://exchange.kaltura.com/, the first of its kind in the video space, connects developers and service providers to publishers, value-added-resellers and system integrators looking to expand upon the core Kaltura platform. The Exchange, now in beta, includes plugins, extensions, applications, and solutions at all layers of the video stack, from ingestion, transcoding, management, metadata extraction, SEO, publishing, monetization and analytics.
Dozens of technology partners and developers have already signed-up and added their solutions to the Kaltura Exchange, including Adap.tv, Tremor Media, TubeMogul, PLYmedia, Artivision, MindTouch, Taboola, YuMe, LiveU, HD Cloud, Awoga, VideoMarket7, encoding.com, 3Play Media, rtCamp, TikiWiki, Microstudi and more.
"We are very excited about the Kaltura Exchange as it really presents a cataclysmic shift in the way video apps are built and deployed," said Ron Yekutiel, Kaltura Chairman & CEO. "Our open source platform is the glue that patches together innovation from all around the world into one accessible, flexible, and interoperable offering. I'm thrilled to see what amazing castles can be built from this new Lego framework for online video."
"With its open source video framework, Kaltura has made the video application development life-cycle extremely easy and cost-effective," said Dr. Shay David, Kaltura VP of Business and Community Development. "The Kaltura Exchange facilitates a convenient and simple-to-use marketplace where publishers can find new apps and services to enhance their video experience, and developers and service providers can promote and generate revenue from their apps, services and unique expertise. Kaltura is bringing the power of distributed development to the world of video, similar to what Salesforce.com brought to the CRM space and the iPhone store brought to mobile. This is a defining moment for online video platforms."
Applications in the Kaltura Exchange are split into several categories, such as skins, themes and language packs, plugins for the Kaltura video player, remixer, and other video tools, client libraries in different programming languages, and stand-alone widgets and apps. Sample applications in the Kaltura Exchange include the PLYmedia Subtitles and Captioning app, Adap.tv Advertising app, Kaltura Joomla Video Extension app, Google Analytics app, TubeMogul Syndication app and many more. Many applications are available for free, and include the source code, and developers can also choose to charge service fees and license terms where relevant.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Video games are a great way to have a break and I have always used them to escape from reality. I love playing Fifa and any sporting or shooting games with friends and family both online and locally. Sometimes that ten minute 1 match can turn into hours! Here is a blog I did a few years ago of when I used it to help motivate me to study http://www.kingston.ac.uk/undergraduate/ask-us/videos/view-video/51/my-study-techniques/
Even when I have really important deadlines or near by exams I always need to play some sports. It's a great way to procrastinate but I really think it mentally helps me cope by reducing the stress and it's the perfect escape route. It's usually a combination of tennis and football in the evenings. More recently I tried out sailing at Kingston on the river Thames and for me it's really helped me keep calmer during my manic final year.
Social media and browsing are always a great way to pass time, most of time I do it I don't even realize how long I've been on Facebook whether it be home or on the go. Often when I have to do research for an assignment, random web browsing about anything other than the work I need to do is a common occurrence. I often also over indulge in eating, perhaps it's to give me energy or maybe just another excuse to procrastinate.
Who loves doing their house chores? I certainly hate doing the dishes, cleaning up after myself and everyone, but when there is an assignment or revising to do then for some strange reason tidying isn't the worst thing to do anymore. Usually I get an overload of dust so I will have to counter balance it off with some fresh air and sunshine in the garden or local park.
Precious minutes sometimes turn into hours, and one playlist turns into several and I would have barely written a sentence. Sometimes a break or mental plan of what I have to do can subconsciously be helpful, as long as hours don't become days! I was always a last minute person with my final year 87 page dissertation given in 20 seconds before the midnight deadline (I had a whole year to do it)
However I love working under pressure and if I could go through University again I wouldn't change my style one bit. It's what works for you at the end of the day :)
Posted 23 Jun 2014 by Gemma
Whilst you're at university, I guarantee that you will meet some amazing people! I have met people that I know will be life-long friends, as well as people who changed my life in other ways, such as tutors who gave me knowledge, as well as my boyfriend! I think whilst you're here, it's really important to not be afraid to make conversation - just say hello, you never know who you're going to meet!
Most people (including me!) lived with their parents before they moved to university, which often means that they're not the best cooks in the world! I would really suggest that you try and cook new things, firstly so you don't starve, and secondly to save money on takeaways! I learnt to cook a bunch of new things, recently I made lasagna from scratch (my Mum almost fainted when I told her!).
We've all been there, when you haven't had enough time to write an essay and end up doing it the night before and pulling an infamous all-nighter in the library...but trust me, it's not the way to do well! If you really want to do well in your degree, which hopefully you do, then start early! Once you get the essay questions start to research them and plan which you want to do and how you're going to answer it! I truly believe that people who do this get much better marks, so it's a good thing to remember - especially in 2nd year!
When you're at uni, there's a good chance that your other friends will be at other uni's - so use it as an opportunity to travel and see some parts of the country that you haven't seen before. Being at uni is also a great time to do things that you wouldn't normally do, or that are just a bit strange! Last year I did a fancy dress pub crawl in the seaside town of Bognor Regis with my boyfriend and his uni friends, and we all dressed up as Nintendo characters. It was an event put on by a different university to Kingston, but still fun to be involved in none the less! (And let's face it, drinking from 8am-4am the next day whilst dressed as Pikachu is something that we all have to do once in our student life!).
This is possibly my most important tip, and I really think that exploring your career is a thing that everyone should do. Most people come to uni with a career in mind, but being at university, and especially being so close to London (if you're studying at Kingston) will allow you to see if that career is definitely for you! To try your future career out, there are loads of volunteering opportunities, internships and placements that you can apply for to give you that all important experience, as well as make it clear that you're making the right career choice! Kingston have a great volunteering department and can help you find something to do no matter what you're interested in!
This week it was finally time to move out of Halls of Residence for the summer! It's really exciting to think that in a few months' time I will be entering my second year. I wasn't sad to be leaving halls because I have so much to look forward to in September!
Goodbye Block P! I lived in Seething Wells for my first year at university. It was an interesting experience to say the least. You meet a lot of different people at halls and it's great to get a feel for living independently but with people around. I have to say I'm incredibly excited about my new flat though!
I'm lucky enough to be having one of my best friends coming to stay in Basingstoke this summer! Rhys is from Baltimore, USA meaning he needs somewhere to stay while we prepare for the festival we will play in the summer. He's going to be living with Ali (boyfriend and band's guitarist) for 3 whole weeks from Thursday.
Last dinner plans with Joe before I am completely moved back to Basingstoke for a little over a month. This is his thumbs up for his pizza at Frankie and Benny's! I love catching up with Joe over some good food, especially as I haven't seen him as much now we're on summer break!
Working as a Student Ambassador giving a talk at Woking College about student life and answering students' questions (remember you can ask my your own below!). I worked with the lovely Gemma for the presentation I'm so sad she is leaving, this was her last job as a Student Ambassador! Good Luck Gemma!!
The right way to start a month at home and hopefully a fab summer with a gorgeous bacon sandwich! One of the many benefits of being at home is some lovely cooked breakfast.
Look at this beautiful face! My dog Lottie hasn't left my side since I got back to Basingstoke. Here is a picture I took while we were on a walk to the park. She is so cheeky and insanely fast! Not having Lottie around was though for me when I first started uni so being able to do this has put a smile on my face.
I finally got around to unpacking everything into my new room...the box room! It was a lot harder than it sounds trying to cram all of my stuff into the little bedroom but I've finally managed to get it looking nice ready for my visitor in a few weeks!

Pick of the Week - DLKW Lowe/Halfords
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 02 August 2012 07:30AM
DLKW Lowe's Halfords idents are very entertaining, Anne Cassidy thinks:
"It's good to see a brand like Halfords starting to do commendable things with its communications. After the lovely 'best trips last a lifetime' spot, this work is a pastiche of the 'how to' clips on YouTube. The idents are well-observed and funny - quite an achievement for clips limited to ten seconds." The work was written by Fran Leach, art directed by Chris Bowsher and directed by James Haworth through The Sweet Shop.

Nitschmann needs to be repaired or rebuilt, officials say
Updated On: Oct 04 2012 06:23:23 PM CDT
Repair it or rip it down and rebuild it. Those are some of the options facing Nitschmann Middle School in Bethlehem.
District officials said something has to be done soon to fix the problems at the 87-year-old school.
"The HVAC system the heating and air condition is inadequate. In fact, we don't have air conditioning in most of the rooms," said Jacqueline Santanasto, the school's principal.
Nitschmann was built in 1925 and has had two major additions. If you go from one wing to another, you can feel the temperature change, so teachers use window units and heaters to constantly regulate the environment. There's only one problem.
"The noise factor makes it a little difficult for kids to hear, so we are asking them to speak up a lot," said teacher Mike O'Connel.
You will also find cramped spaces, buckets catching rainwater and signs of deterioration all over the school.
There are about 200 fixed seats in the auditorium/band room. So, if the school wants to get all 900 students in one spot, things get pretty cramped.
The Bethlehem Area School District is looking at ways to fix Nitschmann's problems, ranging from renovating what they have to building anew, like it did with Broughal Elementary School.
Superintendent Joseph Roy said preliminary estimates for a new building run around $64 million, but Roy said the district is looking to cut the cost by an estimated $10 to $15 million by using reserve funds, borrowing as construction progresses and using future TIF money from the Sands Casino.
Either way, Nitschmann staff and students have learned to learn around the school's issues but look forward to the day when they don't have to.
School district officials are expected to review their options for Nitschmann at a meeting on Monday.

Culture of Androgeny
By Editorial Staff
Published April 3, 2008
Blurring the Lines Between the Genders
by Lee Grady
Does anyone remember a time in America when men were men, women were women, and the children could tell the difference?
In case you haven't noticed, the entertainment industry and the educational establishment have teamed up in the last few years to try their best at destroying traditional sex roles. We are told that in this enlightened era we need to learn to be "gender neutral." Men are encouraged to explore their "feminine side"; women are pressured to get out into the working world and fight their way up the corporate ladder.
Michael Jackson, the epitome of 1980s androgynous chic, paints a clear picture in the minds of our youth that you don't have to be male or female – you can be both. He can belt out a song and dance about "The Man in the Mirror" and sound like Lady Soul at the same time. Meanwhile, polished talk show hosts assure us that we will all eventually be bisexual, thus ridding our society forever of unwanted stereotypes.
If this confusing trend continues, a trend which author George Gilder calls "the androgynous agenda," then America's sexual landscape is going to be drastically marred beyond recognition in a few more years. Consider some of the shocking developments which are taking place in relation to male and female roles:
- The number of male flight attendants rose from none in 1960 to a current total of over 10,000. Other traditionally feminine occupations also have experienced a surge of male interest, all the way from telephone operators to male strippers; 1
- Most state educational budgets now call for increased emphasis and spending on girls' athletics, and less for boys', causing boys' overall participation in school athletic programs to drop from 76 percent to 50 percent; 2
- The Boy Scouts of America, after fighting several costly legal battles, announced last year that they will not bar women from becoming leaders of scout troops;
- Leaders of mainline Protestant denominations have called for the removal of "sexist language" in the Bible and church hymns, proposing that God Himself is both male and female;
- Recent court decisions have mandated that the U.S. Army must admit professed homosexuals into military service;
- The state of California has now officially recognized America's first lesbian sorority on the UCLA campus. Gay rights activists praised the decision as a great victory, and are expecting similar rulings in favor of homosexual fraternities;3
George Gilder, who chronicles this erosion of the sex roles in his excellent book Men and Marriage, says the trend should alarm us: "Every year's statistics break the previous records and ever more graphic images arise to signal the passing of the sexual concepts of masculine and feminine on which Americans have based their lives and expectations."4 But why is it that we are experiencing this sex role crisis?
Cultural Bone Rot
Actually, what we are experiencing in the U.S. today is nothing new. It happened in ancient Sparta and in glorious Rome. It happened in 18th century France and is presently occurring in the nations of modern Scandinavia – as well as most other democracies in the West. George Gilder calls it sexual suicide. It could also be called God's cultural judgment.
It is explained very simply in a Bible passage penned by the Apostle Paul, which he wrote to the Christians in Rome at a time when the imperial capital was well on its way to becoming an androgynous society. In this classic epistle he describes in detail the fate of a culture which rejects God's authority and His immutable laws:
"For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools … Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them …
"For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire towards one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error" (portions of Romans 1:21-27).
This passage outlines the systematic breakdown of sex roles and the entire family structure itself – a structure which God designed to be the foundation of a healthy society. In a culture where men have rejected God's government and refused to submit to His moral requirements, a process of decay is set in motion. This moral entropy begins in the minds of men; as God's enlightening presence and protective influence is withdrawn, a pall of intellectual confusion settles over the society as a whole.
This intellectual depravity, as it progresses in intensity, brings about a twisting and a perverting of all that is natural and normal. And if we interpret Paul's comments to the Romans correctly, it would appear that sexual habits and roles are the ultimate target of this cultural bone rot process. When a society has divorced itself from God, the final result will be that men stop being men, women stop being women, and the institutions of marriage and family are destroyed.
When Paul tells us that men and women"abandon their natural function," this does not simply refer to homosexuality. What is "natural" for woman? Most assuredly her natural instinct is to marry, bear children, and devote much of her life to nurturing those children. In an anti-Christian society, women abandon these instincts. They revolt against the concept of childbearing, either through abortion or through neglect of nurturing responsibilities.
What is natural for the man? The most natural, God-given male instinct is for a man to give himself to one woman as her lifetime sexual partner in marriage, providing for her and for the children which they produce together. Whenever a civilization revolts against God, men simultaneously revolt against the institution of marriage.
This revolt does not begin with homosexuality. The large-scale breakdown of marriage in this country tends to parallel with the publication of Playboy magazine and the philosophy that it began to promote in the 1950s. Hugh Hefner's revolution encouraged men to leave the confines of marital fidelity under the guise of male sexual expression. But adultery is actually a revolt against masculinity and the natural male function, because it, and the resulting divorce, actually removes men from their primary role of husband, father and family provider.
Once men have rejected marriage, the door is then opened for the onslaught of homosexuality. Children no longer have a genuine male role model in the home, and this lack of a strong father figure completes the cycle of perversion: the young sons are sent out on a desperate search for the masculinity they never found by natural means, and the wounded daughters find it forever difficult to respect men when they reach adulthood.
Stopping "Gender Neutral" Policy
America's gradual drift from Judeo-Christian morality has now led us into the danger zone I have just described. One writer recently stated that the last twenty years in this country, in terms of public policy, could be described as"the homosexualization of America." But we did not get into this predicament without the help of an elite group of policymakers who have adopted an anti-family, anti-male, and anti-female agenda.
Leaders of the feminist movement (many of them are men, by the way) have told us that traditional sex roles are oppressive to one's individuality. They tell us that marriage is institutionalized rape, and that our economy is designed to enslave women to domestic duties. They tell us that women not only belong in the White House or on the construction site or in a fighter jet, but that we have a moral imperative to discriminate against men to put them there.
According to Gilder, Americans should learn a valuable lesson from the Swedes before it is too late. Over the last 25 years, Swedish social planners under the influence of feminism began to devise national policy that directly attacked the nuclear family. Legislation was enacted which removed all special protections for married women. Tax laws eliminated the joint return for a married couple, thus forcing both married partners to pay the same in taxes even if the wife did not work.
After a few years of such policy changes, it was impossible for a husband to provide for his family on one income. Women were forced into the workforce, and children were simultaneously forced into federal day-care facilities. Housing and tax benefits were even curtailed if families refused to place their children in the day-care centers. 5
Today in Sweden, traditional male and female roles have virtually been abolished. Men can no longer act as the principal providers. Women can no longer care for their children. Marriage has become a serious economic disadvantage, therefore most Swedish young people have rejected it. Not surprisingly, Sweden is now considering legalizing homosexual marriage – and will most likely be the first country in the world to do so.
Does the story of Sweden sound like a socialist nightmare? We are much closer to copying the Swedish pattern than most of us realize. Says Gilder, "The United States is enacting many of the policies that brought sexual suicide to Sweden. Despite the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment and universal day-care, the feminists are gaining their ends piecemeal. In particular, the decline in the value of the child deduction has shifted the tax burden onto families with children.
"Through court decisions in favor of comparable worth, through the infiltration of the schools by feminists texts and teachers, through the day-care tax credits and other subsidies for the two-earner family, and through the rapid erosion of the joint income tax return and the housewife's right to social security, feminists are winning quietly by legal and legislative action what they cannot win in referenda."6
The Swedish agenda is already being seriously discussed in the halls of Congress as a viable option for American society. A bill proposing a massive federal day-care system is in consideration during this current legislative session. The feminist rallying cry is convincing more and more mothers to pursue employment outside the home. Our current welfare system has all but destroyed the self-esteem of lower class black males, mainly because single black mothers lose economic advantages if they marry.
What we need desperately in America today is a public policy which honors the clear differences between male and female; which places marriage in an honorable and economically desirable position; which eliminates no-fault divorce; which offers protection and security to the housewife; and which encourages home child care.
We cannot allow maleness and femaleness to drift together into a vague, unisexual zone of neutrality. We cannot allow monogamous marriage to become just one of several legally accepted lifestyles. We cannot allow federal economic policies to cripple and dismember the family structure.
Returning to pro-family policies will not be easy. It will require real men to stand up in the public arena to challenge the anti-gender activists. It will demand real women to defend the paramount role of traditional motherhood. But we cannot sit idly by while the social scientists plan America's sexual suicide. The culture which refuses to acknowledge and honor the differences between the sexes will neuter itself, and ultimately fade away into a childless oblivion.

The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

The Silent Scream (DVD) Eight Languages
"When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing." – President Ronald Reagan to National Religious Broadcasters Convention, January 1981
Ronald Reagan became convinced of this as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House.
The modern technology of real-time ultrasound now reveals the actual responses of a 12-week old fetus to being aborted. As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist's suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn't have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
"…a high technology "Uncle Tom's Cabin" arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement." – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine

Report: Foxx confirmed as transportation secretary
Updated On: Jun 27 2013 01:02:21 PM EDT
Anthony Foxx, the mayor of Charlotte, N.C., has been unanimously confirmed by the Senate to be transportation secretary, The Associated Press reported.
He replaces Ray LaHood, who said in January he wouldn't serve a second term.
The transportation secretary is responsible for overseeing the nation's roads, airports and railways.
Foxx, first elected mayor in 2009, helped lead last summer's Democratic National Convention in the Queen City. He also championed the completion of an additional runway at the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, though Foxx doesn't have any specific experience as a transportation executive.
Earlier this month, Foxx announced he wouldn't seek re-election at Charlotte's mayor.

Nevis man no longer suspect in US justice robbery
Authorities on the Caribbean island of Nevis have dropped charges against a gardener accused in the February 2012 robbery of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
The Associated Press
Authorities on the Caribbean island of Nevis have dropped charges against a gardener accused in the February 2012 robbery of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Gardener Vedel Browne has been free on $37,000 bail since shortly after the robbery. He has told the St. Kitts & Nevis Observer that he is innocent and will seek compensation.
A machete-wielding robber broke into Breyer's vacation home and stole $1,000 from the judge and his guests. No one was injured.
Police told reporters Friday that they have asked to have the charge withdrawn. Officials do not say why, and police and prosecutors have not returned calls seeking comment.
Last month, a judge asked police when they would bring the preliminary inquiry before court. Police said then that they were working on it.

How A Lock Works Explained In One Perfect Cutaway Video
In-Depth: The Current State Of Smart Locks
I've been following the smart lock market with great interest. There are some odd ideas, common mistakes and a lot of hyperbole, but also intrepid engineering, smart marketing and a level playing field. For the first time in decades there is serious public interest in locks and it's pinging the historian in me hard. I'm going to provide some context, refute some dubious claims, and offer my opinion on what's exciting, what's overhyped, and what I hope is coming next.
This Bizarre High-Security Lock Is Every Drunk Person's Nightmare
While some people are trying to reinvent the lock by eliminating keys altogether, others solutions, like the XPUZMAG from Taiwan, are going in decidedly different direction — by taking a traditional lock-and-key mechanism and just making it a thousand times more complicated. Warning to the belligerent drunk about town: This lock is not your friend.
Starwood Hotels Is Making Room Keys Obsolete Worldwide
One Of The Most Bizarre, Yet Fascinating Mechanical Locks You'll Ever See
Locks are cool, right? They keep you and your precious things safe, prevent potentially-dangerous persons from enacting dangerousness and deter would-be snoopers from reading the thrilling page-turner that is your diary. But you can get more creative than just your basic key and tumbler, like this interesting (and rare) curiosity that features more curves than your average lock .
Here's How You Pick The 'Unpickable' Bike Lock
In the more innocent days of April, we showed you a mystery bike lock that purported to be "unpickable." A hidden keyhole was supposed to prevent picks from getting into the lock. It seemed rock-solid! Except not really. Of course not! Here's a guy picking it open with ease.
Unlock The Past: How A 19th Century Lock Pick Changed Security Forever
In April 1851, Alfred C. Hobbs boarded the steamship Washington bound for Southampton, England. His official duty was to sell the New York City-based company Day and Newell's newest product — the parautopic lock — at a trade show — London's Great Exhibition. But Hobbs had something a bit more nefarious up his sleeve, or rather in the small trunk that accompanied him on the ship.
This Lock Disables Steering So Your Bike Can't Be Ridden
Most bike locks are designed to make it harder to remove your bicycle from a rack, and they're often an effective deterrent to thieves. But when bolt cutters render them useless, the Stemlock serves as an extra layer of security by preventing a freed bike from actually being steered and ridden away.
Skylock Is The Bike Lock Of The Future, And It's Awesome
Bike locks, while incredibly necessary, are way behind the times. Even the best of them will break under brute force, and then where are you? Bikeless and alone. The new Skylock, from ex-Boeing and Jawbone engineers, is about to leapfrog the competition and bring bike protection into the 21st century. It looks amazing.
This Mystery Bike Lock's Hidden Keyhole Makes It Un-Pickable
Picking a lock is surprisingly easy with practice. So the makers of this mystery bike lock came up with a brilliant and novel solution: bury the keyhole deep inside the lock mechanism. It's unpickable, because you simply can't get your picks into the lock. And it's got lock-picking hobbyists stumped.
