Need Your Heart (Cry Wolf "YOLO" Remix)
We have grown very fond of Cry Wolf over the past few months, then they go ahead and make a "YOLO" (You Only Live Once) Remix of Adventure Club's Need Your Heart featuring Kai. We love the idea of one of our favorite mashup DJs and one of our favorite Dubstep producers coming together to make sweet sweet musical love. I certainly hope this isn't the last time they team up either. I would love to see Cry Wolf and Adventure Club work on an album together. There I have set the challenge, I hope you decide to accept it! So get your EDM on and crank the volume, it's time to play this baby. Make sure to check out their new mixtape of Remixes – Volume 2.

In a massively crowded airline terminal, a flash of lightening is joined by an airline employee's announcement on the P.A., "Flight 27 has been canceled due to weather. Our next departure is at 6:00 A.M. tomorrow."
Disappointed, the delayed passengers are a chorus of sighs and groans.
Then game show host Wink Martindale appears and says "It's time to play 'Take on Orbitz!' " He explains, "Today's couples had bad weather and must book a hotel before the other 200 passengers."
The host says "Go!" and two couples, a straight couple and a lesbian couple, are suddenly in a game show set and rush to find a hotel room from their opposing game podiums.
While the straight couple gets out a telephone book, the lesbian couple wins by booking from a cell phone, and they announce they've booked a hotel. They kiss each other to celebrate.
The weary straight travelers get a blanket and a pillow as their consolation prize. The straight couple then tries to get comfortable sleeping in the airport baggage claim with everyone else.
The ad earns a Positive rating for putting committed straight and gay couples on the same game show set and showing the lesbian couple rejoicing in their victory with a kiss.

Retailers will note that the combination of sporty rides and gorgeous girls who take it in the ass is a marriage made in cash-flow heaven.
Out for an afternoon drive, Alex Sanders stops to wet his whistle, and returns to his mint green-over-white '56 Chevy coupe only to discover a stowaway stashed in the back seat. Maybe it's nothing more than her burning sense of patriotism, but Inari Vachs just hasta have a ride in that chrome and steel chunk of gas-guzzling Americana, and she emphasizes the fact that she's willing to do "anything" for it. "Anything" in porn terms translates, of course, into lots of cock-sucking and fur-burger furnishing, and in this case, a handsome round o' butt-fucking as well.
Elsewhere, Anastasia and Alexandra Nice also have their tailpipes banana-stuffed, although their motors just keep purring away like magic, and Heather Hornay turns in an engine-revver with Frank Towers, All in all, there are five solid scenes to be found here, well-shot and to the point.

Respiratory motor recovery after unilateral spinal cord injury: eliminating crossed phrenic activity decreases tidal volume and increases contralateral respiratory motor output. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12657710 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
By 2 months after unilateral cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), respiratory motor output resumes in the previously quiescent phrenic nerve. This activity is derived from bulbospinal pathways that cross the spinal midline caudal to the lesion (crossed phrenic pathways). To determine whether crossed phrenic pathways contribute to tidal volume in spinally injured rats, spontaneous breathing was measured in anesthetized C2 hemisected rats at 2 months after injury with an intact ipsilateral phrenic nerve, or with ipsilateral phrenicotomy performed at the time of the SCI (i.e., crossed phrenic pathways rendered ineffective) (dual injury). Ipsilateral phrenicotomy did not alter the rapid shallow eupneic breathing pattern in C2 injured rats. However, the ability to generate large inspiratory volumes after either vagotomy or during augmented breaths was impaired if crossed phrenic activity was abolished. We also investigated whether compensatory plasticity in contralateral motoneurons would be affected by eliminating crossed phrenic activity. Thus, contralateral phrenic motor output was recorded in anesthetized, vagotomized, and mechanically ventilated rats with dual injury during chemoreceptor stimulation. Hypercapnia, hypoxia, and asphyxia increased contralateral phrenic burst amplitude in the dual injury group more than in rats with SCI alone. Dual injury rats also had elevated baseline burst frequency. Together, these results demonstrate a functional role of crossed phrenic activity after SCI. Moreover, by preventing ipsilateral phrenic motor recovery in rats with unilateral SCI, segmental and supraspinal changes could be induced in contralateral respiratory motor output beyond that seen with SCI alone. |

FIFA's conscience clear over stampede
FIFA says it is not to blame for a stampede that occurred outside a stadium in Johannesburg today where World Cup finalists Nigeria and North Korea were wrapping up their preparations for the competition.
The incident, which occurred in the township of Tembisa, east of the city, left several people injured - 14 spectators had to be taken to hospital, while two police officials were also hurt.
Less than a week remains before the kick-off of the global spectacle and the events at the Makhulong Stadium are likely to place further pressure on the world governing body, who have already moved to distance themselves from any involvement.
A statement from the organisation read: 'FIFA and the Organising Committee (OC) of the 2010 FIFA World Cup have been informed by the South African Police Services (SAPS) about the incidents which have taken place today on the occasion of the friendly match between Nigeria and Korea DPR played in Ekurhuleni, Johannesburg.
'FIFA and the OC would like to first wish a prompt recovery to those who have been affected by these incidents.
'In addition, FIFA and the OC would like to reiterate that this friendly match has no relation whatsoever with the operational organisation of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, for which we remain fully confident.
'Contrary to some media reports, FIFA had nothing to do with the ticketing of this game.'
Tickets for the game at the 10,000 capacity ground were free, meaning there was a huge demand and additional pressure on authorities after a larger number of fans turned up.
Explaining what happened, the South African Police Services (SAPS) said in a statement: 'The friendly match was arranged by a private company and tickets were apparently being handed out by the teams outside the stadium.
'Initial reports from the stadium, which is not a 2010 FIFA World Cup stadium, indicate that 10 000 tickets were distributed outside the stadium but a number of fans wanted to enter the stadium without tickets.
'It would seem that there was also some confusion among the crowd as to the ticketing system which led to disruptive behaviour on the part of the crowd.
'Police members immediately started implementing crowd management measures but the crowd became unruly and pushed against the gates, forcing them open on two occasions.
'One police official was seriously wounded when he was trampled by the crowd, one police official was slightly injured but remained on duty.
'The police official (seriously wounded) is in a stable condition. The police did all in their power to prevent fatalities and minimise injuries.'
The game continued with Nigeria going on to win 3-1.
South Africa is just days away from the opening of the first ever World Cup on the African continent and earlier today its president Jacob Zuma and FIFA head Sepp Blatter gave their full backing towards the country's readiness to host the event.

Straight Shot Segway Reticle Leveler Mark III
Product #: 479454
Straight Shot #:
Mark III
- Information
Back by popular demand, the Straight Shot Segway Reticle Leveler makes aligning crosshairs for precision accuracy easier than ever. This unique tool aids in leveling the crosshairs of a scope to the bore of nearly any rifle. Whereas most leveling devices require bolt actions and multiple flat surfaces to accommodate multiple levels, the Straight Shot Mark III Leveler simply attaches to the rifle by an elastic band that loops under the receiver of the firearm. To use the Straight Shot System: simply position the alignment bar under the scope on the scope base, attach both plastic wings to the alignment bar and secure the device to the firearm with the elastic band. Use the bubble level on the wing of the leveler to level the gun. Then simply rotate the scope that is loosely set in the rings until the crosshairs align perfectly with the black horizontal lines on the leveler wings. Once level, tighten the rings, recheck the scope level and remove the Straight Shot leveling tool.
Technical Information:
Adjustable to accommodate most firearms and scopes sizes
Wings are reversible and feature a bold line and thin line side for the best possible match with users reticle thickness

India suffer choking defeat
Monchengladbach, September 11
India vs Holland The Indians, seeking to record their first win in the high-profile tournament, frittered away a second half lead as their opponents struck twice in the last seven minutes to clinch the match at the Warsteiner Hockey Park. A last-minute penalty corner conversion by Jong Hyn Jang ensured that Vasudevan Baskarans men remained winless after four matches, having managed only a draw against South Africa. After a barren opening session, India shot into the lead through Shivendra Singh (46th) who took his tally to four goals in as many matches in the World Cup. But, the euphoria was short-lived as the Koreans, who themselves were far from impressive, found the equaliser through Jang (63rd) in the dying minutes. The defeat means that India would now have to contend for a position between 9th and 12th spots. India yielded ground under tremendous pressure that saw the Koreans force seven penalty corners in the second half as against two in the first and Jangs two conversions provided Korea their third win in four matches for a tally of 10 points. Having lost to Germany and England and drawn with South Africa, India put in a determined performance, but on the day, their best was not enough. India have just one point and are scheduled to play the Netherlands on the morrow in their concluding league fixture. Dominating the proceedings in the first half, the Indians had the Koreans under pressure, but yet again, failure to cash in on scoring opportunities undid their efforts. The first of the chances came in the 11th minute with Shivendra Singh having two attempts, the first coming off goalkeeper D Ko, whose clearance went straight to Prabhodh Tirkey who in turn relayed it back to Shivendra. But the forward hit wide from close. India had another opportunity in the 21st minute when Gagan Ajit Singh, coming off the bench, sent a cross-field pass from left to right for Shivendra who relayed it to Hari Prasad. The forward had a good look at the goal, but shot wide. At the other end, the Koreans showing a lot of patience in countering Indian tactics, forced a couple of good moves to receive two penalty corners in the 23rd and 25th minutes.
Spain overrun Kiwis
Monchengladbach, September 11 This was Spains second win in four matches and they now
have eight points in their kitty. They take on lowly and winless Japan
in their last group assignment. Meanwhile, for the Kiwis, it was their first defeat in four matches and they now have seven points. They take on formidable Australia in their last league match. Spain dominated the proceedings and should have won by at least a six-goal margin but their forwards fumbled at least three sitters. For the winners, who led 2-0 at half time, the goal scorers were David Alegre (9th) Santago Freixa (18th) and Eduard Tubau (36th) while, Hayden Shaw (40th) reduced the margin for the Kiwis. SA
salvage draw
Unfancied South Africa came from behind to hold Asian Games gold medallists South Korea 2-2 yesterday. For Korea, who led 1-0 at half time, Jong Hyun Jang (21st) and Hyo Sik You (51st) scored a goal each, while for South Africa Lungile Tsolekile (49th) and Wayne Madsen (59th) scored a goal apiece. Aussies
win 3-1
Olympic champions Australia overpowered Japan 3-1 to record their second win in the tournament last night. For the winners, who led 2-1 at the breather, the goal scorers were Michael McCann (sixth), Troy
Elder (eighth) and Russel Ford (55th). For Japan, Toshiaki Fukuda earned the distinction of scoring the first goal for his side in the World Cup so far. Australia
had lost to Spain in the opener but crushed Argentina 4-0 in their
second match. UNI |
Obituary He was a police officer, a sportsman, a sports administrator, a good friend and above all a dedicated father. He was none other than Mr Raj Kumar, Bau Ji of Punjab hockey, who retired as Superintendent of Police. He died yesterday after a prolonged illness. Both his sons, Charanjit Kumar and Gundeep Kumar, are Olympians. My association with Mr Raj Kumar started in mid 1970s. At that time he was an office-bearer of the Punjab Hockey Association and Sports Secretary of the Punjab Armed Police, Jalandhar. His dedication and commitment to hockey earned him a place on the national selection committee of the Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) besides getting him the honour of accompanying the national team on several trips abroad as its Manager. Bau Raj Kumar started his career as a goalkeeper in early 1950s. He joined Punjab Police in 1952 and continued to represent both Punjab Police and Punjab in various national-level tournaments. Though he was unlucky not to represent the country either in Asian Games or the Olympic Games, he did defend Indian goal in various international matches, including Test matches against England, East Germany, West Germany, Malaysia, and France besides undertaking tours of Thailand, Hong Kong and Japan as a member of the national team. He played a stellar in Punjabs three title triumphs in National Hockey Championship between 1954 and 1965. Between 1981 and 1985, he remained a member of the national selection committee of the IHF. A simple and God fearing man, Bau Ji was known for his politeness and persuasive nature. Even when the Punjab Hockey Association was on verge of a split after some district units revolted against the police dominance, Bau Raj Kumar played the peacemaker. It may not be an exaggeration to say that hockey was lifeline for him. He is also credited with raising some new teams of the Punjab Police, including those of kabaddi and football. His cremation in Jalandhar last evening was largely attended by hockey players and officials, both present and past. Mr Rajdeep Singh Gill, President, Basketball Federation of India (BFI), Mr Teja Singh Dhaliwal, Secretary, Punjab Basketball Association, Mr Pargat Singh, Director Sports, Punjab, and several former Olympians and internationals, including Sukhvir Singh Grewal, Jagdip Singh Gill, Hardeep Singh Grewal, Harpreet Singh, Gurmail Singh, Surinder Singh Sodhi, Col Balbir Singh (retd), Baldev Singh and others have condoled his death. They all described him as a gentleman sportsman and sports administrator, who always worked for promotion of hockey in the state. Prabhjot Singh |

Federer does it again
New York, September 11 It was only fitting, then, that the tournaments final point was won by Roger Federer. After all, by beating Andy Roddick 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 yesterday for a third consecutive championship at Flushing Meadows, Federer took another step toward being regarded as the best tennis player in history. With his new pal Tiger Woods sitting in the front row, Federer won his third Grand Slam title of the year and the ninth of his career, moving closer to Pete Sampras record of 14. After the match, Federer and Woods cracked open two bottles of Dom Perignon in the locker room. Im shocked myself how well its been going the past three, four years, Federer said, being not only compared to former great tennis players, but now especially also other great athletes all over sports. Its just really nice. If theres any athlete in the world who knows exactly how Federer feels as he dominates his peers and gobbles up Grand Slam titles, its Woods. They met for the first time before the match, and Federer then set out to impress his counterpart. Federer out-aced the big-serving Roddick 17-7, compiled a 69-33 edge in winners, and made only 19 unforced errors. When I go out there and I see Tiger sitting there, its like, I try to play well, you know? I try to kind of get my act together and focus and get off to a good start, Federer said. And he did precisely that, racing to a 5-0 lead in 17 minutes. He finished strong, too, winning eight of the last nine games against Roddick, who won the 2003 US Open but now is 1-11 against the man he once was supposed to rival for supremacy in this sport. Roger is at the top, and hes the only person at the top, regardless of how much people want to make rivalry comparisons and this, that and the other, Roddick said. Hes the best player in the game. Theres no question in my mind. The No. 1-ranked Federer went 27-1 at this years Grand Slam tournaments, the only setback coming against Rafael Nadal in the French Open final. Federer became the first man since Ivan Lendl in 1985-87 to win three consecutive US Open titles and the only man in tennis history to win Wimbledon and the US Open back to back three years in a row. Hes won nine of the last 14 Grand Slam tournaments, dating to Wimbledon in 2004. Ive been on a roll since 2004, and of course I am surprised how well it went, but at the same time I know Ive given myself the best possible chance, Federer said. In the end, maybe Im not that surprised, because the hard work is paying off. Federer spoke last week about wanting to get to know Woods. It finally happened yesterday, thanks to their shared management agency. Woods and his wife sat between Federers girlfriend and his agent. Its interesting to note who wasnt in that section: Federers coach, Tony Roche, who prepares his pupil for this event but doesnt travel to it.
Yuvraj to miss first ODI
Kuala Lumpur, September 11 Yuvraj is down with fever but the team management is optimistic that the aggressive middle-order batsman would be fit in time for the remaining matches of the tri-series, beginning tomorrow with a match between the West Indies and Australia.
Yuvraj is sick. He may play later in the series, said a team official. The Indians, who could not play a single match on the recent tour of Sri Lanka due to rain, were also worried on the count of the weather. Sudden downpours in the afternoons are quite common at this time of the year in this tropical country and could affect the day-night matches. The series would provide Rahul Dravids men some serious competition ahead of the Champions Trophy in October-November. Coach Greg Chappell admitted as much, saying his team would treat the tournament as a warm-up for the Champions Trophy. We will treat this tournament as a practice for us ahead of the Champions Trophy, Chappell said after the teams net session this morning at the Selangor Club ground. Chappell said although the team could not play any matches in Sri Lanka, it had kept itself occupied with a rolling camp and practice matches within themselves prior to departing for Malaysia. The players have such a hectic schedule that we don't get such time off from the field often. So we utilised the break (in Colombo) to focus on other aspects of the game, Chappell said. The former Australian captain also said weather would not pose any problem for his team which is used to playing in hot conditions. Weather is not a worry for us. We are used to hot conditions, he said. The weather also did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm among the locals, hundreds of whom braved the scorching sun to catch a glimpse of the Indian stars at this off-shore venue. The female fans were spotted drooling over Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Indias new batting sensation. Shouts of Dhoni! Dhoni pierced an otherwise quiet atmosphere at the club ground. But it was Sachin Tendulkar who was the most-sought-after player, his blue India jersey standing out in the midst of his team-mates who were all clad in white, the official dress with sponsors logo.

Ponting buoyed by McGraths return
Kuala Lumpur, September 11 McGrath, who took time off from cricket in January to care for his ill wife, returns to Australias line-up for their first match against the West Indies tomorrow at the new Kinrara Oval. Im looking forward to Glenn playing again, Ponting told reporters today. Hes really keen to get involved and has been working very hard in the off-season to get himself right for this series, and sort of a build-up for the Champions Trophy. Ive got the highest expectations of Glenn coming back. Hes a been such a great bowler for such a long period of time, hell just slot right back in and do the job for us. McGrath, 36, has played 221 one-day internationals, taking 331 wickets at an average of 22.43. Australia, who have not played international cricket for more than four months, have brought a squad of 18 to Malaysia, hoping to give all the players a chance to stake their claims for next years World Cup. We hope to have a lot of positives by bringing a large squad, Ponting said. Hopefully, we can use guys in situations in games to be able to experiment within themselves. The West Indies are hoping to build on their 4-1 victory over India in the one-day series in the Caribbean in May. Vice-captain Ramnaresh Sarwan said the performances against India prove that the West Indies can be a strong force in one-day internationals. We will be the first to admit that we have been inconsistent but we are starting to play some good cricket in the one-day form and we need to build on the series victory against India, said Sarwan. We have been trying to stick to a core group of players and not do too much chopping and changing. This is the first time the newly built Kinrara Oval is hosting a top-level international match. Organisers hurriedly put up floodlights in four weeks so that the ground would be ready to accommodate day-night matches.

Italian GP was rigged: Alonso
Monza, September 11 Alonso hit out at the race stewards and Formula One, which, he said, he no longer regarded as a sport after his non-finish at the Italian Grand Prix yesterday. He said he felt the sports ruling body, the International Motoring Federation
(FIA) was trying to help Schumacher win an eighth title. And not only me, said Alonso when he was asked by Spanish television if he felt the FIA was helping Schumacher. Everybody here thinks the same, and the only thing that encourages me is the support Im getting from everybody. Seeing the track marshals cheering and applauding me, telling me to beat the Ferraris, the Italian press saying its a robbery, that motivates me, but its no consolation. I feel shame. Im embarrassed by this sport. This is probably the most embarrassing moment in modern sporting history, whats happening this
year. Alonso started the race from fifth to 10th on the grid, following a penalty imposed by the stewards for an alleged blocking move on Brazilian Felipe Massa of Ferrari during Saturdays closely-contested qualifying session.
Alonso battled through to run third with 10 laps remaining when he suffered his first Renault engine failure in three years. Schumacher, who announced his intention to retire at the end of the season, won the race. In his Renault teams official statement after the race, Alonso was quoted as saying: We have three rounds to go and we will get stronger and stronger with new developments for the car, the tyres and the engine. But the verdict this weekend is simple. The race was decided off the track on Saturday.
Sania down to No. 70; Paes back in top 10
New Delhi, September 11 It was a loss of 16 places for the 19-year old Hyderabadi lass from her previous ranking and it came after the second round loss at the years final Grand Slam. Paes gained three places and was ranked ninth, thanks to his doubles triumph with Martin Damm of Czech Republic who was one rung below the Indian ace. It was Paes fourth crown, besides three mixed doubles titles, and his first without partnering Mahesh Bhupathi with whom he had won the French Open in 1999 and 2001, and the Wimbledon in 1999.

So i was going to replace the speakers in my front doors in my 2000 silverado, I'm not quite sure what size i need ive seen 6x9 and 6.5 but not sure and are there any other speakers in my truck that i might replace as well? rear door? i also planned on replacing my receiver because the stock one has no lights working except the time and i would just like to upgrade so i know how to pull the door panels off but other than that is it pretty easy just unscrew and unplug speakers? Im not quite sure on the receiver though, i know you buy a new harness whereever you buy from, im guessing pull the dash trim guard off then pull the old one out and unplug wires and put in new harness and reciever? but im not exactly sure. Thanks in advance!
I can't remember the size for sure but if you go to crutchfield.com and put your truck in the vehicle info it will show you all the decks and speakers that will fit and also ones that will fit with some minor modifying.If you buy from crutchfield you will get instructions I think... here is how you remove the front and rear doors on an 02... http://www.bodyshopzone.com/archives/trim/door_panels/Chevy/Silverado_2002/dp_remove_02_CK.html 03-07 is the same exept the window switch comes off differently.
Your front doors are 6 1/2s and your rears are 4x6s. The doors are extremely easy to take off. The speakers aren't actually screwed in if their stock in the front. It has a big tab on the top you just press and it comes out. So obviously your gonna have to drill holes for the new speakers. It has a speaker harness that connects to the speaker itself. You can either get a speaker harness that just plugs in but its like 13 bucks normally and its just as easy to cut it off and extend it with the speaker connecters you get with the speakers. The only thing you have to figure out is the polarity. The front speakers have the lighter wire being positive and the darker negative. The rears are the exact opposite, dark is pos and light is neg. This is all very simple as long as its not a nose system that makes it a little more difficult. But also remember to disconect the tweeter in the front doors also.
Here's what all of your wires do, speaker size, and location. 2000 Chevrolet Silverado Car Stereo Radio Wiring Car Radio Constant 12V+ Wire: Orange Car Radio Switched 12V+ Wire: Yellow Car Radio Ground Wire: Black Car Radio Illumination Wire: Gray Car Stereo Dimmer Wire: Brown Car Stereo Antenna Trigger: N/A Car Stereo Amp Trigger Wire: N/A Front Speakers Size: 6 1/2″ Front Speakers Location: Doors Left Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Tan Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Gray Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Light Green Right Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Dark Green Rear Speakers Size: 4″ x 6″ Rear Speakers Location: Side Pillar Left Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Brown Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Yellow Right Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Dark Blue Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Light Blue
As said above.. 6 1/2 and 4x6 in the back.. Good luck... Just remember don't look at speakers that say 200 watts in the back because they will want that much power to sound good. A aftermarket radio will only give you between 18-22 watts Tops.... So you want a speaker that will be fine with 20-30 watts RMS..
Alright thank you everyone with all the info! i appreciate it and am confident now with all of it, so once i get my paycheck and work on it ill post some pics up of what i did and how it ends up. Thank you again!
Chevy is much easier to do than fords are, especially head units, the head unit wiring on fords are complete different colored wiring system, very confusing!
Unless you want to upgrade later wth an amplifier! Sadly 18-22 is nearly triple the output of a factory unit

Reese Witherspoon Returns to LA to Spend Sunday With Jim and Deacon
Reese Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth attended church services in Santa Monica with Deacon Phillippe yesterday. The threesome got back to their Sunday routine following Reese's return to LA. She spent most of the week overseas in Russia promoting Avon with multiple stops on their Global Believe Tour. First up, she made an appearance in Warsaw alongside the brand's CEO Andrea Jung, and then she traveled to Moscow, where Reese posed for a photo shoot in front of the city's Red Square in a slim suit. She was back to her casual gear over the weekend though, wearing plaid while Deacon and Jim both sported vests.

Ugh I beg to differ but Ryan and the kids are photographed everytime they are with him and they do look more comfortable with him, according to the pixs....
3 years
Yes IF they look more comfortable with Ryan, is of course because he is photographed much less - Reese cant go anywhere without attention... It is most probably not because they are more comfortable with dad than with Mom. LOL to those who think that. (not that we know these people, but I think the spotlight is the obvious reason when they look uncomfortable.)

@kissmestupid....I agree with his style of dressing with his dad. We can only go off what we see in pictures from these celebs but Ryan's and Reese's two always look more relax when they are with their dad. Its gotta be tough trying to grow up in the spotlight all the time. I do think Reese could try harder in keeping the kids out of the photogs lenses.

@TJ65 Oh, without a doubt, Deacon is a q t. He'll be knocking 'em dead once he hits his teenage years. But the too small vest and the too large pants are an odd combo from a wealthy household. I've noticed that Deacon is sometimes dressed in the wrong size when he's with his Mom but is always casually stylin' when he's with his Dad.

@kissmestupid.....I agree the vest on Deacon looks a little small but he still is very cute!
@InTheIndustry....LMAO...Thats too funny and more then likely true!
I havent seen her and Ryan's daughter in several photo ops, I wonder whats up? IDK but this guy Toth looks more like a bodyguard then anything else and whats up with the bald head? It looks awful all the time! Needs to do something with it! Just sayin....

Reese did say in several interviews that she runs her household like a military camp so as you can see, the Drill Sargent has spoken!!! HAHAHAH!!!!

@kissmestupid: Deacon is old enough that if he didn't want to wear that vest, he could take it off himself. And maybe he wanted to spend the morning with his mom since he hadn't see her in a while and then spent the afternoon with his dad?
3 years
Two words. Fathers Day. How come Reese has the kids? Well, Deacon anyway. I'm sure it's not because Ryan didn't want to be with them. Can't miss those photo ops, can she? And in an effort to have Toth and Deacon dress alike once again, she's resorted to a vest for D that is much too small.

Stjepan Radić (11 June 1871 – 8 August 1928) was a Croatian politician and the founder of the Croatian People's Peasant Party (Hrvatska pučka seljačka stranka) in 1905. Radić is credited with galvanizing the peasantry of Croatia into a viable political force. Throughout his entire career, he was opposed to the union and, later, Serb hegemony in the first Yugoslavia and became an important political figure in that country. He was shot in parliament by the Serbian radical politician Puniša Račić. Radić died several weeks later from a serious stomach wound at the age of 57.[1] This assassination further alienated the Croats and the Serbs.
Early life[edit]
Stjepan Radić was born in Desno Trebarjevo, Martinska Ves near Sisak in the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia within Austria-Hungary. After being expelled from his gymnasium in Zagreb, he finished at the Higher Real Gymnasium in Karlovac. In 1888 Radić travelled to Đakovo where he met with bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer to request help for a trip to the Russian Empire.[2] Strossmayer recommended Radić to Metropolitan Mihailo of Belgrade who referred him to a Russian teacher in Kiev. Radić travelled to Kiev and was allowed to stay at the city's Monastery of the Caves where he remained for six weeks before returning to Croatia.[2]
In September 1891 he enrolled in law at the University of Zagreb.[3] He was selected as a representative of the student body at the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Battle of Sisak in 1893. After criticizing the ban of Croatia Károly Khuen-Héderváry during the ceremony and referring to him as a "Magyar hussar", Radić was sentenced to four months in prison which he served in Petrinja.[3] He was among a group of students who set fire to the Hungarian tricolour on October 16, 1895 during the visit of Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb. For this, Radić received a prison sentence and was expelled from the University of Zagreb, as well as barred from all universities in the Monarchy.[4] After spending some time in Russia and, later, Prague, Radić continued his studies at the École libre des sciences politiques in Paris, where he graduated in 1899.[5]
Lead up to the first Yugoslavia[edit]
After World War I he had opposed merging Croatia with the Kingdom of Serbia without guarantees for Croatian autonomy. Radić was selected as a member of the National Council of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. On November 24, 1918 he famously urged delegates attending a session that would decide the country's political future not to "rush like drunken geese into fog".[citation needed] He was the lone member of the National Council's central committee to vote against sending a delegation to Belgrade to negotiate with the Kingdom of Serbia.[6] On November 26, he was removed from the central committee.[6]
Under pressure from the Great powers (British Empire, France, United States), as well as honouring the secret deals that were struck between the Entente and the Kingdom of Serbia, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was established and two representatives of Radić's party (by then named the Croatian Common-people Peasant Party) were appointed to the Provisional Representation which served as a parliament until elections for the Constituent could be held. The party's representatives, however, decided not to take their seats.
On 8 March 1919 the central committee passed a resolution penned by Radić that declared "Croatian citizens do not recognize the so called Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes under the Karađorđević dynasty because this kingdom was proclaimed other than by the Croatian Sabor and without any mandate of the Croatian People." The full statement was included in a Memorandum which was translated into French and sent abroad to be addressed to the Paris Peace Conference.[7] This act provoked a decision by the government to arrest Radić along with several other party members.
He was to be held some 11 months until February 1920, just before the first parliamentary elections of the Kingdom of SHS, which were held in November. The result of the November was 230,590 votes, which equaled to 50 seats in the parliament out of 419. On November 8, before the first sitting of parliament, Radić held a massive rally in front of 100,000 people in Zagreb. Stjepan Radić and the CCPP held an extraordinary meeting, in which a motion was put forward and voted on that the party will not be part of parliamentary discussions before matters are first resolved with Serbia on the matters of governance, the most sticking issues being the minorisation of the Croatian people and the overt powers of the King with the central government in Belgrade. The party was subsequently renamed to the Croatian Republican Peasant Party, highlighting the party's official stance. On November 11, ban of Croatia Matko Laginja was dismissed by the cabinet of Milenko Radomar Vesnić for allowing the rally to take place.
The new Constitution[edit]
On 12 December 1920, the Parliament of SHS had their first sitting, without the representatives of CPP (50 representatives) and the Croatian Party of Rights (2 representatives). On the 28th of June 1921, the Constitution of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Vidovdanski ustav, or Vidovdan Constitution)was made law after a vote of 223 representatives out of the present 285, the total number representatives in the parliament being 419, which is only 53.2% of the possible votes, or if looked at the number of present representatives it is a more impressive 78.24%. The representatives turnout and subsequent vote is quite poor considering that it was a constitutive parliament, which was supposed to have created the new constitution.
In the next parliamentary elections, which were held in March 1923, the stance of Stjepan Radić and the CPP against the central government managed to turn into extra votes. The results of the election were, 70 seats or 473.733 votes, which represented the majority of the Croatian vote in Northern and Southern parts of Croatia, as well as the Croatian votes in Bosnia, as well as Herzegovina.
Again imprisoned[edit]
Radić still held on to the idea of an independent Croatia, and kept the party out of parliament in protest. This in effect afforded Serbian prime minister Nikola Pašić the opportunity to consolidate power and strengthen his Serb-dominated government. Returning from an unsanctioned overseas trip in 1923 in which Stjepan Radić visited England (for 5 months), Austria (5 months) and the Soviet Union (2 months). upon his return in 1924, Radić was arrested in Zagreb and sentenced for associating with Soviet Communists and imprisoned. The trip was used for the purpose of internationalising the plight of Croatians in the Kingdom of SHS.
After his release, Stjepan Radić soon reentered politics, but this was not without problems. On 23 December, the Serb dominated central government declared that the political party CRPP was in contravention of the Internal security law of 1921 in the infamous Obznana declaration, and this was confirmed by King Alexander on 1 January 1924, thus arresting the CRPP executive on 2 January 1925, and finally arresting Stjepan Radić on 5 January.
After the parliamentary elections in February 1925, the CRPP even with its whole executive team behind bars, and with only Stjepan Radić at its helm, CRPP managed to win 67 parliamentary with at total of 532,872 votes. Even though the vote count was higher than the previous election, the gerrymandering by the central government ensured that CRPP received less parliamentary seats. In order to increase his negotiating power the CRPP entered into a coalition with the Independent Democratic party (Samostalna Demokratska Stranka), Slovenian People's Party (Slovenska Ljudska Stranka) and the Yugoslav Muslim Organization (Jugoslavenska Muslimanska Organizacija).
Return to the parliament[edit]
Immediately after the parliamentary elections in March 1925, the CRPP changed the party name to Croatian Peasant Party (Hrvatska seljačka stranka). With the backing of the coalition partners, the CPP made an agreement with the major conservative Serbian party - the People's Radical Party (Narodna radikalna stranka), in which a powersharing arrangement was struck, as well as a deal to release the CPP executive from jail. The CPP had to make certain concessions like recognising the central government and the rule of the monarch, as well as the Vidovdan constitution in front of the full parliament on 27 March 1925. Stjepan Radić was made the Minister for Education, whereas other CPP party members obtained ministerial posts: Pavle Radić, dr. Nikola Nikić, dr. Benjamin Šuperina and dr. Ivan Krajač. This powersharing arrangement was cut short after the passing away of the president of the Peoples Radical Party, Nikola Pašić, on 10 December 1926.
Radić soon resigned his ministerial post in 1926 and returned to the opposition, and in 1927 entered into a coalition with Svetozar Pribićević, president of the Independent Democratic Party, a leading party of the Serbs in Croatia. The Peasant-Democrat coalition had a real chance to end the Radicals' long-time stranglehold control of the Parliament. Previously they had long been opponents, but the Democrats became disillusioned with the Belgrade bureaucracy and restored good relations with the Peasant Party with which they were allies in the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. With this arrangement, Stjepan Radić managed to obtain a parliamentary majority in 1928. However, he was not able to form a government. The Peasant-Democrat coalition was opposed by some of the Croatian elite, like Ivo Andrić, who even regarded the followers of the CPP as "...fools following a blind dog..." (the blind dog being Stjepan Radić).
In his elder days, Radić was nearly blind.[8]
Assassination in the parliament[edit]
With the power of the Radical Party now weakened, and the Peasant-Democratic coalition not being able to form a government, the environment in the parliament had become increasingly unstable, contentious and provocational on ethnic lines. Provocations and accusations flew on both sides, in one such session Radić answered one of the provocations with the following:
- "Our Serbian friends are always reminding us of the price they paid in the war. I would like to invite them to tabulate the costs, so we may square accounts and be on our way.".[citation needed]
Death threats and threats of violent beatings were made against Stjepan Radić in parliament, without any intervention by the president of the Assembly (Parliamentary speaker). On the morning of 20 June 1928, Radić was warned of the danger of an assassination attempt against him and was begged to stay away from the Assembly for that day. He replied that he was like a soldier in war, in the trenches and as such it was his duty to go but he nevertheless promised not to utter a single word.
In the Assembly, Puniša Račić, a member of People's Radical Party from Montenegro, got up and made a provocative speech which produced a stormy reaction from the opposition but Radić himself stayed completely silent. Finally, Ivan Pernar shouted, "thou plundered beys" (referring to accusations of corruption related to him). Puniša Račić made his way to the speaker podium facing the Croats. He put his hand in his pocket, where he held the revolver, and faced the president Ninko Perić and told him: "I ask of you, Mr. president, to sanction Pernar. If you fail to stop me, I shall punish him myself!" After that threat shouting started in the room. But Račić continued his threats: "Whoever tries to stand between me and Pernar will be killed!" At that moment Puniša Račić took out his parabellum. Minister Vujičić, sitting at the bench behind Račić, grabbed his hand in order to stop him. At the same time, minister Kujundžić came to his aid, but Račić, however, being very strong, broke himself free. At exactly 11:25 AM shots were fired - Pernar was hit 1 cm above the heart. When he collapsed, Račić took aim at Stjepan Radić. Dr. Đuro Basariček noticed this and leaped to help him. Račić, however, turned his way and shot him, bullet entering his loins and exiting around his scapula. Basariček fainted immediately. Ivan Granđa ran in front of Stjepan Radić and Račić shot him in the arm. As soon as he was down, Račić aimed, peacefully, at Stjepan Radić, and shot him in the chest. At that point Pavle Radić jumped towards Račić, who didn't get confused, but remarked: "Ha! I've been looking for you!" and shot him 1 cm below the heart. It was believed Račić would shoot Svetozar Pribičević, sitting next to Stjepan Radić, next, but Račić instead peacefully left the room through the ministers' chambers. The whole assassination was over in less than a minute. It was one of the first assassinations in a government building in history.[9] Radić was left for dead and indeed had such a serious stomach wound (he was also a diabetic) that he died several weeks later at the age of 57. His funeral was officiated by archbishop Antun Bauer of Zagreb. His burial was massively attended and his death was seen as causing a permanent rift in Croat-Serb relations in the old Yugoslavia.
What exactly happened to Puniša Račić is still contested. One version (conservative) states that he was sentenced to 20 years of house arrest and later pardoned by the Serb authorities while another (communist) contends that he was sentenced to 20 years of hard labour and freed by the invading Nazis in WWII. He led a usual life during the Nazi occupation of Serbia and was captured and killed by Communist partisans in 1945 or 1946.
Following the political crisis triggered by the shooting, in January 1929, King Aleksandar Karađorđević abolished the constitution, dissolved parliament, and declared a royal dictatorship, changing the country into the first Yugoslavia and oppressing national sentiments.
Radić is buried in the Mirogoj cemetery in Zagreb.
Radić's violent death turned him into a martyr and he was turned into an icon of political struggle for the peasantry and the working class, as well as an icon of Croatian patriots. The iconography of Stjepan Radić was later used not only by his successor Vladko Maček, but also by other political options in Croatia: right wing or left wing.
The Ustaše used the death of Stjepan Radić as proof of Serbian hegemony, and as an excuse for their treatment of Serbs. However, a number of leading CPP figures who became political opponents of the Ustashe were imprisoned or killed by the regime. The Partisans on the other hand used this as a recruiting point with CPP members who were disillusioned with the Independent State of Croatia, and latter had one brigade named after Antun and Stjepan Radić in 1943.
The image of Stjepan Radić was used extensively during the Croatian Spring movement in the early 1970s. There are many folk groups, clubs, primary and secondary schools which bear the name of Stjepan Radić. Many Croatian cities have streets and squares in his name. In 2008, a total of 265 streets in Croatia were named after him, making Radić the third most common person eponym of streets in the country.[10] Statues of Stjepan Radić are also common. His portrait is depicted on the obverse of the Croatian 200 kuna banknote, issued in 1993 and 2002.[11]
In 1997, a poll in Croatian weekly Nacional named Stjepan Radić as the most admired Croatian historic personality.

A Mysterious Past
Other features told a different tale. The staircase's newel posts, which Cornish says are original, closely resemble newels in the early-18th-century White-Ellery House, in Gloucester, Mass. "You wouldn't see vase-like shapes such as this in a 1600s home," he says. In a second-floor bedroom, gunstock posts (named for their resemblance to muskets) have a flared top that allows room for a framing joint connecting the walls and the roof. But, unlike posts from the 1600s, they lack decorative carvings. He and Grady also believe that paneled, Georgian-style interior doors were original to the house, not added later. And two major features were hard to miss: The windows were placed more symmetrically, and the roof was pitched less steeply, than those typically seen on First Period houses.
Turns out Tom's hunch was correct. The investigation uncovered many more Georgian than First Period elements. Cornish and Grady agreed that a more accurate construction date for the Nathaniel Page homestead is circa 1720—more than 30 years later than all the history books said.
Shown: Replacement balusters were likely installed in the early 1800s, when simpler details prevailed. The newel post and rail on the staircase are original, and conform with 18th-century styles. -

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death in patients on chronic dialysis. The question whether dialysis modality impacts cardiovascular risk remains to be addressed. China Collaborative Study on Dialysis, a multi-centers cohort study, was performed to evaluate cardiovascular morbidity during maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD).
The cohort consisted of chronic dialysis patients from the database of 9 of the largest dialysis facilities around China. The inclusion period was between January 1, 2005, and December 1, 2010. Cardiovascular morbidity was defined as the presence of clinically diagnosed ischemic heart disease, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, and/or stroke. The patients who had cardiovascular morbidity before initiation of dialysis were excluded. Data collection was based on review of medical record.
A total of 2,388 adult patients (1,775 on HD and 613 on PD) were enrolled. Cardiovascular morbidity affected 57% patients and was comparable between HD and PD patients. However, clinically diagnosed ischemic heart disease and stroke was more prevalent in PD than HD patients. When the patients were stratified by age or dialysis vintage, the cardiovascular morbidity was significantly higher in PD than HD among those aged 50 years or older, or those receiving dialysis over 36 months. Multivariate analysis revealed that the risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity had different pattern in PD and HD patients. Hyperglycemia was the strongest risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity in PD, but not in HD patients. Hypertriglyceridemia and hypoalbuminemia were independently associated with CVD only in PD patients.
Cardiovascular morbidity during chronic dialysis was more prevalent in PD than HD patients among those with old age and long-term dialysis. Metabolic disturbance-related risk factors were independently associated with CVD only in PD patients. Better understanding the impact of dialysis modality on CVD would be an important step for prevention and treatment.

Food Storage in the News
The economy is making people nervous, but Mormons have been preparing for this moment all their lives. Mormon families are taught to avoid debt, save money, and set aside a year's supply of food and other commodities needed to get through a challenging economic time. For many years, outsiders scoffed at this program, thinking it was a last-days scenario or a panic program. Today, the press is actively seeking out Mormons to interview because they've come to realize food storage and emergency preparation is a sensible way to live.
The Mormons teach people to be self-reliant as much as possible. This means they need to prepare ahead for difficult times. One way to do this is to build a supply of food, cleaners, health care products, clothing, and even cash to rely on should they need it.
Typically, these items are relied on during times of unemployment. As people have learned recently, no one is immune from unemployment, regardless of education, experience, or reputation. Finding a new job can require a substantial amount of time. Those who do not need to shop, or who perhaps shop only for perishables, get through this time with little disruption to their lives and with the comfort of knowing they have sufficient food and supplies.
Mormons are counseled to avoid going into debt to obtain these supplies, since debt for any reason but home ownership and possibly college is discouraged. Instead, they begin slowly. Families are encouraged to give up a luxury, such as a vacation or cable television until the money that would have been used for the luxury has supplied the storage. Others purchase several extra items each week, working to have a one week supply. When they have this, they begin on getting ahead a second week. In the very poorest country, women are taught that when they make their daily rice and beans, they should drop a spoonful of each into a jar. When the jar is filled, it's sealed and becomes the first item in their food storage. Since rice and beans keep an extremely long time, this provides long-term security in the form of a food the women are accustomed to serving daily.
However small the start, Mormons know that even a little food put away can make a difference. Just knowing it's there can provide a feeling of security when those around us are frightened. We know that whatever else happens, we won't go hungry.
The Mormons have created a website that teaches its members how to create a food and commodity supply. It includes charts that show how much of the staples a family will need. This site is very popular even with those who are not LDS.
Provident Living will show you first how to build and store the items you need to sustain life, and then how to add additional items to make survival more pleasant. Mormons you know will also be happy to help you get started on this rewarding process.
Your supply of food does not sit in the basement getting old. Mormons rotate their storage, meaning they "shop" from their food storage. New purchases go to into the storage, to be used oldest items first. One advantage of this system is that it eventually cuts shopping costs. Those who have storage can purchase on sale, in season, and in bulk, thus obtaining the best possible prices for their supplies. When a shortage causes prices to soar temporarily, Mormons can use their storage until the shortage is over, both saving money, and reserving those items for those who did not stock up in advance.
Find out what the mainstream media is saying about the no-longer odd Mormon tradition of food storage. Then sit down and start a plan for your own storage. It's no longer just a "Mormon thing."

Contemplating moving to Malta, any weird laws I should be careful about? (self.malta)
submitted 2 years ago by Primital
I am thinking of moving to Malta from Sweden since it's part of the EU and it's warm. The job would be in Msida and I am fairly confident of the actual moving there, what I wonder is if there are any laws that you might not find elsewhere. For instance, in Sweden you can download movies without really risking anything when in Germany you get huge fines if discovered. Is that an issue in Malta?
[–]Shadie 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Just be careful of the taxes... they are soooo low :)
[–]spiz 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago* (5 children)
Drug offences (even pot) are taken very seriously and one does get the impression that the courts make an example out of 'foreigners'.
Otherwise driving's pretty crazy, but notwithstanding the fact that everyone ignores the ridiculously low speed limits, Malta remains one of the safest places to drive (source Wikipedia).
[–]justMaku 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (4 children)
That's a good thing to know, what about drinking in public? Or being overly intoxicated?
[–]spiz 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (2 children)
No problems there at all. They occasionally clamp down a little on drink driving (I forced to think that this is less of an issue than it might be because people drive slowly - the national speed limit is 80kph and you can only really beat that on the larger roads).
[–]justMaku 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
And what's the maximum ammount of alcohol you are allowed to have in your blood while driving? 0,05%?
EDIT: Grammar :/
[–]xemxija 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Being overly intoxicated in Malta? lol. You just need to watch out for the 9-year old stumbling into you on the bankina while snatching your beer and trying to cop a feel. Maybe this is just Gozo though...
[–]MikeCam 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Nah, you'll never get caught here, they couldn't care less tbh. Plus, 99% of the Maltese population download illegally, we only got our first online store for movies and music (iTunes just a few months ago).
[–]FaeLD 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Yeah, nobody cares if you pirate stuff here, so you're safe in that regard, however expect d/l speeds to a bit lower. Malta's quite normal law wise.
[–]td888 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I am downloading myself silly with all kinds of torrents. Never any problems. Online pirating is not an issue in Malta.
Drugs on the other hand is a different story. There is no distinction between hard and soft drugs. So if you get caught they can punish you severely (especially foreigners).
Also other small crimes (theft, damaging of property) is not tolerated at all. The first time you can away with a suspended sentence, the second time you easily go to jail for a long time.
[–]carlocami 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
As many others have mentioned we are still a bit behind on drug laws. That said they are talking about reforming them by having less harsh penalties for soft drugs for example you will only get warned the first time caught with a small amount of marijuana. Let's hope it's not only talk! Other than that i'd say the rest is similar to other countries.
[–]Love_TheBud 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Drug Offences, Mainly weed. They seem to take more offence to weed
[–]Shadie 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
and no, not an issue
[–]MIKE11481 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Cops don't like foreigners in Malta. It's that simple. Stay out of trouble.

Life is a daily struggle for them not just because they had to beg but more due to their `identity crisis'. The social stigma associated with their identity is taking its toll on their physical as well as mental health. They could not even imagine obtaining a statutory identity proof leave alone securing the basic needs of life. But their dream to be recognised as citizens of this country started coming true in a small way in Guntur city.
Wondering who these underprivileged people are? They are members of the transgender community commonly known as `Hijras' and issuance of Aadhaar cards is their dream that was realised. They are often spurned by the officials concerned/staff who simply say that Aadhaar cards cannot be issued to them on technical grounds in spite of their fulfilling eligibility criteria. Then the usual insults are heaped on them. Sometimes their applications are taken but to no avail, all because of the familiar societal mindset of looking down upon them.
Not willing to bear this disdainful treatment anymore, some 30 members of the transgender community in living in Guntur city (KVP Colony, Gujjanagundla and other localities) approached the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) Secretary M.V. Ramana Kumari and Superintendent of Police (urban) A. Ravi Krishna, who got them successfully enrolled into the UIDAI database.
Ms. Ramana Kumari made the transgender people to submit a petition to Collector S. Suresh Kumar, which set the ball rolling. Mr. Ravi Krishna spoke to the officials concerned of Revenue Department and got the address of a single house in KVP Colony in which the nearly 30 transgenders are staying, submitted as proof of their residence.
The formality was completed and the applicants started receiving the Aadhaar cards.

If YouTube video views were to decide today's Senate election in Massachusetts, Republican state Sen. Scott Brown would win in a landslide against Democrat Martha Coakley.
A study conducted by the Emerging Media Research Council out today found that Brown had a more effective strategy of using social networking tools including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to promote his campaign and connect with supporters.
Here's a look at the numbers:
Facebook Posts since Jan. 1: Brown (128), Coakley (58)
Facebook Fans: Brown (70,800), Coakley (13,529)
Tweets since Jan. 1: Brown (142), Coakley (144)
Twitter Followers: Brown (9,679), Coakley (3,385)
YouTube Videos: Brown (57), Coakley (52)
YouTube Video Views: Brown (578,271), Coakley (51,173)
The study concludes that Brown's use of social media helped in several ways, including boosting his name recognition both in and out of Massachusetts. They note that just 51% of Massachusetts voters had heard of Brown in a Nov. 12 poll, by Jan. 14 his name recognition was at 95%.
The study also found that Brown more openly embraced social media sites on his campaign Web site, where he "prominently" features social networking channels including a Twitter feed while Coakley "gives social networks less prominent real estate."
In recent elections, Democrats—including President Barack Obama–have gotten the bulk of the credit for using social media networks to boost their campaigns. However, other recent studies suggest that the tech divide between the two parties is narrowing.
A report released last week on lawmaker's use of Twitter found that Republican lawmakers are taking advantage of the Twitterverse significantly more than their Democratic counterparts. In the House, GOP lawmakers send out 529% more tweets than Democrats.

Open Cubic Player first appeared around December 1994 as a DOS binary-only module player. It supported many sound cards and module formats. At some point, the source code was released to the public under the terms of the GNU General Public License, and around 2003 Stian Skjelstad ported the code to Linux. In addition to legacy tracker formats such as mod, xm and s3m, Open Cubic Player now also supports mp3, ogg and ay files and can be compiled with libadplug support.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script. Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases. To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix. To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used. Changes to Mk/*: - Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
Remove "USE_GCC=3.4+" / "USE_GCC=3.2+". Now that the minimum version we support via ports is FreeBSD 6.3, this is a no-op. FreeBSD 6.x features GCC 3.4 as the system compiler.

Refine last commit. ocp seems to need wide character support in order to display colors correctly. However, devel/ncurses is not needed after 602107 and 700033 since it's already in the base.
Use devel/ncurses instead of base curses.h in order to have color support.
Remove unnecessary DISTNAME redefinition.

Open Cubic Player first appeared around December 1994 as a DOS binary-only module player. It supported many soundcards and module formats. At some point, the source code was released to the public under the terms of the GNU General Public License, and around 2003 Stian Skjelstad ported the code to Linux. In addition to legacy tracker formats such as mod, xm and s3m, Open Cubic Player now also supports mp3 and ogg files.
