Most Christians, 82 percent, believe the United States is suffering from a crisis of leadership, according to a new survey from the Barna Group.
Sixty-four percent of respondents rated "integrity" as a leader's most important trait, 40 percent said "authenticity," and 38 percent said "discipline."
"Christians perceive a significant leadership crisis in America caused by a distinct lack of leaders," David Kinnaman, president of Barna Group, told Church Leadership. "Most feel they are leaders, but many of them aren't confident that their leadership abilities are the most important traits in a leader."
"This suggests many of them are still striving to meet even their own leadership expectations," he continued. "And it means many Christians may not think of their own leadership as helping to fill the leadership gap they experience."
"Perhaps this is why they are most interested in growing in terms of courage," Kinnaman concluded. But Brad Lomenick, president of Catalyst, a movement designed to equip and inspire young Christian leaders, is out to change that. Lomenick talked more about how to address the "leadership crisis" on the CBN News Channel Morning News, April 25.

Building Harlequin's Moonby Larry Niven Brenda Cooper
An inter-generational starship goes off course and must find a way to replenish their anti-matter if they are ever going to get to their destination. Larry Niven and Brenda Cooper deliver a fast-paced story about the virtual slave labor of children that is used to create the anti-matter factory. Could it be that, once the work is done, the children will be abandoned?
The Creative Fireby Brenda Cooper
Nothing can match the power of a single voice...Ruby Martin expects to spend her days repairing robots while avoiding the dangerous peacekeeping forces that roam the corridors of the generation ship The Creative Fire. The social structure of the ship is rigidly divided, with Ruby and her friends on the bottom. Then a ship-wide accident gives Ruby a chance to fight for the freedom she craves. Her enemies are numerous, well armed, and knowledgeable. Her weapons are a fabulous voice, a quick mind, and a deep stubbornness. Complicating it all-an unreliable A.I. and an enigmatic man she met - and kissed - exactly once-who may hold the key to her success. If Ruby can't transform from a rebellious teen to the leader of a revolution, she and all her friends will lose all say in their future.Like the historical Evita Peron, Ruby rises from the dregs of society to hold incredible popularity and power. Her story is about love and lust and need and a thirst for knowledge and influence so deep that it burns.
The Diamond Deepby Brenda Cooper
What if a woman as strong and as complex as Eva Perón began her life as a robot repair assistant threatened by a powerful peacekeeping force that wants to take all she has from her? The discovery ship, Creative Fire, is on its way home from a multi-generational journey. But home is nothing like the crew expected. They have been gone for generations, and the system they return to is home to technologies and riches beyond their wildest dreams. But they are immediately oppressed and relegated to the lowest status imaginable, barely able to interact with the technologies and people of the star station where they dock, the Diamond Deep. Ruby Martin and her partner, Joel North, must find a way to learn what they need to know and to become more than they have ever been if they are to find a way to save their people.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Edge of Darkby Brenda Cooper
What if a society banished its worst nightmare to the far edge of the solar system, destined to sip only dregs of light and struggle for the barest living. And yet, that life thrived? It grew and learned and became far more than you ever expected, and it wanted to return to the sun. What if it didn't share your moral compass in any way?The Glittering Edge duology describes the clash of forces when an advanced society that has filled a solar system with flesh and blood life meets the near-AI's that it banished long ago. This is a story of love for the wild and natural life on a colony planet, complex adventure set in powerful space stations, and the desire to live completely whether you are made of flesh and bone or silicon and carbon fiber. In Edge of Dark, meet ranger Charlie Windar and his adopted wild predator, and explore their home on a planet that has been raped and restored more than once. Meet Nona Hall, child of power and privilege from the greatest station in the system, the Diamond Deep. Meet Nona's best friend, a young woman named Chrystal who awakens in a robotic body....From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Silver Ship and the Seaby Brenda Cooper
The colony planet Fremont is joyous, riotous, and very wild. Its grasses can cut your arms and legs to ribbons, the rinds of its precious fruit can skewer your thumbs, and some of the predators are bigger than humans. Meteors fall from the sky and volcanoes erupt. Fremont is verdant, rich, beautiful, and dangerous. Fremont's single town, Artistos, perches on a cliff below rugged mountains. Below Artistos lie the Grass Plains, which lead down to the sea. And in the middle of the Grass Plains, a single silver spaceship lies quiet and motionless. The seasons do not dull it, nor do the winds scratch it and the fearful citizens of Artistos wont go near it. Chelo Lee, her brother Joseph, and four other young children have been abandoned on the colony planet. Unfortunate events have left them orphaned in a human colony that abhors genetic engineering and these six young people are genetically enhanced. With no one to turn to, Chelo and the others must now learn how to use their distinct skills to make this unwelcome planet home, or to find a way off it. They have few tools: an old crazy woman who wanders the edges of town, spouting cryptic messages; their appreciation and affection for each other; a good dose of curiosity; and that abandoned silver space ship that sits locked and alone in the middle of the vast grass plain.
Spear of Lightby Brenda Cooper
When the post-human Next suddenly re-appear in a solar system that banished them, humans are threatened. Their reactions vary from disgust and anger to yearning to live forever like the powerful Next, who are casually building a new city out of starships in the heart of the re-wilded planet Lym. The first families of Lym must deal with being invaded while they grapple with their own inner fears. Ranger Charlie Windar is desperate to save his beloved planet. The Next are building strange cities he never imagined, and other humans who want to destroy the Next are his worst enemies. Ambassador Nona Hall strives to forge links between the powerful station she's from, The Diamond Deep, and the people of Lym. The formidable merchant Gunnar Ellensson appears to be up to no good, and as usual his motivations are suspect. Why is he sending ships to Lym, and what does he intend to do with them when he arrives? The Shining Revolution threatens to undo everything by attacking the Next on Lym, and their desire to eradicate the post-humans is greater than their desire to save humanity's home. It is entirely possible that they will draw the wrath of the Next onto all of humanity. In the meantime, the Next's motives remain inscrutable. Why are they here at all? What do they want? Why are they interested in the ancient past of a planet that has been ravaged and rebuilt at least once? From the Trade Paperback edition.

A bill meant to protect America's essential computer networks from cyberattacks failed in the Senate Thursday.
The Cybersecurity Act was designed to protect America's electrical grid, water supplies, and other critical industries from cyber threats.
The sticking point with Republicans has been about the role government should play in protecting U.S. businesses from attacks.
They argued that government intrusion would lead to mandatory rules imposed by Washington and thus lead to higher private sector costs.
White House officials and Democrats accused the GOP of practicing "obstructionism."
"The politics of obstructionism, driven by special interest groups seeking to avoid accountability, prevented Congress from passing legislation to better protect our nation from potentially catastrophic cyber-attacks," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.
The Senate is unlikely to vote again this week since they head out of town for their month-long break and won't return until Labor Day.

Sunoco Inc. chief executive Brian P. MacDonald on Wednesday handed over the ceremonial keys to the company's Philadelphia oil refinery, saving 850 jobs and giving new life to the sprawling 146-year-old plant.
On a cloudless morning that enhanced a sunny mood, officials marked the transfer of the plant to a new joint venture operated by the Carlyle Group, the Washington private-equity firm.
Business executives, labor leaders, and elected officials of both parties stood together and lauded the cross-cultural, bipartisan cooperation that led to the agreement in July to keep the plant operating after Sunoco announced last year that it wanted to exit refining.

Waterken is substantially different now from the old system that used XML on the wire and created web pages using XSLT transformations. As you have perceived, it now uses JSON on the wire, and JavaScript on the client side to create the web page. The JavaScript ref_send library supplied with waterken makes it easy for JavaScript objects to interact with server-side Java objects with a high-level promise pipelining abstraction. Client-side programmers never have to see xml or json or http requests or posts or gets, it's all just message-passing objects -- a huge leap forward from the basic AJAX approach. The ref-send library is Caja-compatible, so you can enforce caja confinement on client side objects. The waterken server itself is compiled under Joe-E discipline, and server-side applications can also be built under Joe-E discipline, though frankly the SCoopFS system violates enough Joe-E rules that I do not compile it under Joe-E: an inadequate number of authorities have been tamely integrated into the waterken framework to make an application like SCoopFS straightforward to implement. Having built SCoopFS I am now finally getting a clear idea on how to integrate tamed authorities into waterken, the environment is sufficiently different from the capdesk and emily and E environments, I spent a lot of time stymied on the question of what it would mean to integrate ocap authorities. The biggest problem with waterken at this point is probably the near-perfect absence of documentation. This is my fault, I've been promising tyler documentation for over a year now, but it keeps being not-quite-highest-priority. Despite this, a couple of people have successfully used the server to build prototype applications, starting with the example apps distributed with the server and scrutiny of the source code. --marcs

Paper Paradise: The L.A. Art Book Fair
Last Thursday, MOCA's Geffen Contemporary reopened its doors for the second annual Los Angeles Art Book Fair. LAABF14, curated by New York indie publication mecca Printed Matter, featured over 260 presses, publishers, artists, and independent booksellers from around the world. Visitors to the free bibliophile bonanza perused snaking rows of colorful stalls and tables in the Geffen's whitewashed galleries.
Local arts publications like CalArts' East of Borneo and Chinatown art-and-bookshop Ooga Booga displayed work next to LAABF first-timers, like New Zealand publishing label DDMMYY and Italian magazine cura. A slough of independent presses from Mexico sold books and magazines near displays by L.A. gallery Public Fiction and the N.Y.-based Center for Book Arts. Graphite designer Jesse Stecklow read selections from John Baldessari's new collection of writings, More than You Wanted to Know About John Baldessari, along with other artists; Darin Klein, a former HSA-collaborator, represented his "Box of Books" zine-making workshop. The Fair's curator, Shannon Michael Cane of Printed Matter, welcomed the "inner sanctum" of the artworld establishment (Artforum, Gagosian Gallery) and DIY hobbyists alike: a vast area of the Geffen was reserved for what Cain dubbed "(Xe)rox & Paper + Scissors", a celebration of zines and other forms of self-published ephemera.
One of the Fair's greatest strengths was its shortage of hubris, a mix of historical consciousness and focused ambition. Printed Matter—one of the best sources for out-of-print zines in the country—placed low-cost, handmade publications prominently in the three-day event. Cane, who first exhibited his own self-described "homo-art-almanac" They Shoot Homos Don't They? at the New York Art Book Fair in 2007, recognized zines' important influence on artists and countercultural movements. The age of instant (Internet) gratification in no way diminishes the tactile pleasure of holding Xeroxed, hand-stapled or sewn pages. The experience assures you that what you are reading was assembled with the utmost care.
"Queer Zines", one of four exhibitions featured at the Fair, examined the history of queer zine-making, from the period of Gay Liberation in the 1970s to the present day. Particular attention was paid to queer "fringe" movements, like the Queercore punk scene of San Francisco and Toronto in the mid-'80s, viscerally and comically documented in "fanzines" like J.D.s and Outpunk. Many of the zines shown were the only form of visibility for the subcultural communities that produced them, enabling communication and coalescence for generations without social media and search engines. The exhibition, perched above the din in the Geffen's second-floor Paul Schimmel Gallery, was launched in conjunction with Printed Matter's release of its second edition anthology Queer Zines. It provided an insightful look into the history of sexual expression and identity in modern America, all the more historical in a medium that cannot be faithfully digitized.
Even the waning hours of a full day spent sifting through piles of art books left me feeling overwhelmed and unsatisfied. It simply wasn't possible to see every book, every lecture, every exhibition and installation at LAABF14. Yet the book fair also left me reassured that print media is far from dead. In the electric bustle of Sunday's final open house, I knew that books—and the people who love them—are here to stay.

What's a Library but an Anomaly?
What better way to begin thinking about what "The Archival" means than exploring the idea and act of preservation? To learn what it takes to repair books and to get inspired for the design of the third edition of GRAPHITE, designers Anna Reutinger, Jon Gacnik, and I visited the UCLA Conservation Lab.
Lab supervisor Kristen St. John showed us all of the material that the lab has to repair. There is no single formula to when it comes to treating problems a book might have; rather it is a fine balance between a delicate science and intuition.

UCLA student Priscilla Brinshot "decided to explore facial expressions in accordance with reactions" in her video, "Portrait ID." She portrays "a series of experiments that provoke my subjects to react in a way that would cause muscles and nerves to flinch. Mainly, though, I allowed the subjects full freedom to move anyway they were inclined to direct their bodies and explore their skin. An unexpected relationship develops between the two. Similar movements are unknowingly mimicked, as the two are analyzed aside one another"

The much-anticipated "barbecue summer" may have turned out to be no more than a meteorologist's fantasy, but I still live in hope that the odd sunny afternoon may see my darling husband out in the garden, tongs and spatula in hand, slaving over some hot coals. In the event of such an occasion, I have a delicious salad — something a bit different — that can double up as a starter and also goes well with grilled fish or chicken should the heavens open after all.
Serves 6-8. Serve the same day; leftovers keep 2 days in the refrigerator. Do not freeze. This makes an elegant and refreshing starter for a summer supper party or to serve at barbecue. It is also very pretty with shades of crimson, purple and creamy white, with a mouth-watering blend of flavours.
● 4 medium red peppers
● 1 kg baby aubergines
● 5 tbsp olive oil
● 50g chopped pistachio nuts.
For the dressing
● 225 ml Greek yoghurt
● 1 clove garlic, crushed
● 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped
● 1 ½ tbsp chopped, fresh oregano
● 1 teasp ground cumin
● 2 teasp runny honey
● 1 teasp salt
● 15 grinds black pepper
● Halve the peppers, and remove seeds and membranes. Grill them, skin side up, until the skin blisters and blackens (about 15 minutes).
● Cover with paper towels until cool enough to handle, then peel away the skin and slice the peppers thickly.
● Cut each aubergine in half lengthways.
● Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a sauté pan and gently fry one third of the aubergines until browned all over and very soft.
● Repeat with the other two thirds of aubergine in two more batches. Drain on absorbent paper.
● To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
● To serve, spread a quarter of the dressing on a serving plate, top with a third of the aubergines and then a third of the peppers.
● Repeat, layering twice more, ending with the remaining dressing. Sprinkle with the pistachios and serve.

Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Styling Gel
- Overview
- Features
- Ads the perfect amount of internal weight to define tight curls
- Helps shape curls without ever weighing them down
- Seals the cuticle to protect from future damage
- About the brand
Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Styling Gel rebuilds internal moisture for lasting hold. Healing oils and fatty acids penetrate the hair to nourish, hold and style tight curls in need of moisture, creating lasting curl definition and hold.
All curls constantly lose moisture due to their unique anatomy, and the tighter the curl, the more prone the curl to dehydration. When tight curls reach an extreme level of dehydration, their ability to form with shape and definition is compromised. This naturally dry tight curl pattern needs moisture at every stage. Ouidad Curl Quencher Moisturizing Styling Gel gives tight curls an intense level of moisture to strengthen and maximize curls' internal weight. Meadowfoam seed oil (rich in healing, health-promoting fatty acids) and Pro-vitamin B5 penetrate the hair shaft, plumping curls with internal hydration. Tight curls reclaim their natural curl pattern with bounce, definition and a natural hold.
Start by dividing clean, damp hair into 4-6 sections. Using Ouidad's Rake & Shake Technique, spread a nickel-size dollop through each section, with fingers separated like a rake. Begin application at the nape of the neck, raking fingers through undersections of hair. Then, at the crown, use fingers to rake downward towards the ends. Then, rake from the temple and forehead to the crown. This will ensure complete coverage and help prevent the under layers of hair from stacking out when dry. Then, holding the ends of hair, shake hair back and forth to release and create curls. Repeat process for each section. Let hair dry naturally or blow-dry with a diffuser.
Ouidad is dedicated to empowering individuals with curly hair to understand, enhance and love their hair. Ouidad is the pioneer of the curly hair revolution by formulating products exclusively for curly hair, working from the inside out, to leave hair healthy, manageable, and frizz-free. Ouidad is committed to delivering the highest-quality, results-oriented solutions for all kinds of curls.

"Woah! What are you saying?" you must be saying to yourself. Do I really think that the $31 fee per overdraft charged by PNC Bank [3] is a good thing? What about the advice I gave about asking for a fee or charge by waived by a banking institution [4]? I don't think it's a good thing and I still do think you should ask to have fees nixed, but if you give me a chance to explain what the title means I promise it'll be worth it.
If you read the story about "poor" Chris Keeley, you'll learn something your parents tried to teach you when you were really young. I want to make the analogy of a horrible fee ($31/overdraft is excessive, so is allowing him to overdraft seven times) to a hot stove. When your mother says "Don't touch that stove John/Jane, it's hot and you'll burn yourself," you may or may not have listened. But if you touched it, you were burned, and you never touched the stove again. I think the same can be said for these ridiculous fees.
It's been shown that Americans, in general, don't save enough money, are up to their eyeballs in debt, and are generally financially irresponsible. I feel that these high fees and penalty charges is nature's way of teaching you that you shouldn't touch the hot stove and that you shouldn't eat so many Big Macs [5].
Here are a few examples of what I mean:
Overdraft Charges: Listen… Keeley should have known how much was left in his account and he shouldn't have used the debit card in the first place! Why not use a credit card and at least get a piddly 1% reward for it? You get no advantage from a debit card. But let's extend Overdraft Charges to include Over-The-Limit Charges too. You should know roughly how much credit card debt is on each card – or you have too many cards or have overspent. It's as simple as that.
High Finance Charges for Cash Advances: Every credit I know of charges you for taking out cash with your credit card. The answer? Don't use your credit card for cash advances!
ATM Charges: Are you telling me you can't plan far enough ahead to hit up an ATM with your bank's name on it? If you have a major bank, you have ZERO excuses. If you have a smaller bank, you at least can lean on the fact that there are fewer ATMs but you still can probably plan your finances enough in advance to visit your ATMs!
Late Payment: Now, some banks are insidious and they change the date due each month. But for those of you without that excuse, how could you not pay your bill on time???
Of course, as I mentioned in the Late Payment example, some banks are evil cheats [6] who are trying to scam you. When it comes to those banks, just cancel your card and get another one… let your business do the talking. I think people need to show some financial responsibility and instead of the media babying folks like Keeley, they should educate their readership and explain that he brought it upon himself. Quit using kid gloves on adults when it comes to finances and maybe they'll grow up!
Agree? Disagree? Think I'm a lunatic? Let me know!

New Community Corporation
Newark, NJ
Year founded: 1967
Executive Director: William J. Linder
Founded by a group of dedicated Newark residents in the aftermath of the disastrous 1967 summer disorders, New Community Corporation is the nation's largest and most comprehensive community development corporation.
Driven by its mission to help residents of inner cities improve the quality of their lives to reflect individual God-given dignity and personal achievement, New Community has been the primary force in revitalizing Newark's Central Ward. Its assets are valued at more than $500,000,000 and its programs and services touch the lives of 50,000 Newark and Essex County residents every day.
NCC owns and manages more than 2,000 units of housing and employs 1,600 people, more than 95 percent of whom live in urban areas. The array of community-based services and programs provided by New Community includes housing, education and training, transitional housing for the homeless, health care, community arts, youth programs and a host of social services for children, families and senior citizens.
NCC's trailblazing inner-city development strategy features holistic and comprehensive approaches to individual and community needs; it utilizes strategic partnerships with government agencies, private companies and nonprofits to achieve its goals.
New Community's Workforce Development Center, which offers career training in a number of areas, includes the nation's first program established by a community-based organization to train inner city residents as Licensed Practical Nurses. Three classes have already graduated from this innovative program and more are underway. Its Youth Automotive Training Center is a groundbreaking partnership with Ford Motor Company designed to prepare inner city residents for careers as automotive technicians.
NCC's Gateway to Work program has helped thousands make the transition from welfare to the workplace. NCC's educational network, which includes two public charter schools founded by New Community, a parochial school and two early childhood education centers, serves nearly 1,500 children and young people on a daily basis.
NCC's health care services--which include a 180-bed Extended Care Facility, the Essex Valley Visiting Nurse Association, Care at Home home health aid services and the Family Service Bureau of Newark, a community mental health agency--serve thousands of low-income inner city residents every year.
New Community operates a variety of for-profit businesses including Chelsea Construction, Dunkin' Donuts, and the Priory Restaurant and Jazz Club. Opened in 1990, the New Community Neighborhood Shopping Center and its Pathmark supermarket helped spark the economic comeback of the Central Ward and led to the return of a major retailing chain to inner city neighborhoods in over 20 years.
NCC's latest development project, a health care center that centralized its community-based health care services in one location, opened in November 2004. NCC continues to grow and plans are underway for new facilities and programs to address deep needs in the community.Make a Donation

CJ Spiller didn't have the 2013 season he, or the Bills, expected him to have. He went from 6.01 yards per rushing attempt in 2012 to 4.62 in 2013. Despite the disappointing average, Spiller was still an above average running back with at least 100 attempts. He was actually tenth.
In 2012, Spiller thrived on big gains. 45% of this attempts for five or more yards. The NFL average in 2012 was gaining five or more yards on a rushing attempt 34% of the time. Either Spiller was an absolutely elite talent who was going to become one of the best running backs in history or was due to regress a bit.
Since the merger, just 24 running backs have average 5.5 or more yards per attempt in a single season (minimum 100 attempts). Just four of those players did it more than once (none more than two times). Those repeat 5.5 yard per attempt rushers were Jamaal Charles, Adrian Peterson, Barry Sanders, and O.J. Simpson.
Maybe Spiller can be the fifth player to average 5.5 yards per attempt or more twice. To do that, he'll have to get back to what he did so well in 2012: big gains and almost no losses on runs to the outside. The table below compares Spiller's last two seasons, notice how his drop in productivity to the outside, especially the left (the difference is calculated as 2012 – 2013, meaning a negative number is an improvement over 2012).
When going around either end in 2012, Spiller gained five or more yards 59% of the time and lost yardage just 7% of the time. That's insane. The NFL average for rushes around the ends gained five or more yards 41% of the time and lost yardage on 15% of attempts.
Spiller regressed in both areas in 2013. His five or more yard gain rate decreased by 25% and his loss rate increased by 31%. He had a loss on more attempts around an end than he gained five or more yards. The rushes around the ends in 2012 and 2013 are compared in the table below.
So why wasn't Spiller able to have the same success around the ends this past season? The injured ankle might have impacted his results. Spiller wasn't able to get around to the edge on his outside runs often this season, which led to an increase in tackles by defensive linemen. Spiller was tackled by a defensive linemen just 12% of the time on runs around an end in 2012. That percentage increased to 32% in 2013.
I wondered if Spiller's utilization as a runner changed from season to season. In 2012 and 2013, Spiller's runs from shotgun or when the quarterback was under center the same proportion of attempts. But the direction of runs varied a bit. 37% of Spiller's runs out of shotgun in 2012 were up the middle, while he ran up the middle out of shotgun 27% of the time in 2013. The middle was Spiller's second best run direction out of shotgun in both seasons (7.3 and 6.7 yards per attempt in 2012 and 2013).
Spiller had the best yards per attempt average when running around the right end out of shotgun in 2012 and 2013. But Spiller had the fewest number of attempts around the right end out of shotgun (just thirteen attempts in two seasons). Spiller never lost yardage in those thirteen attempts. Interestingly enough, Spiller did the worst when running around the left end (17.6% loss rate in two seasons).
2012 was an amazing season for Spiller. He was amazing at breaking big runs in 2012 and had an uncanny ability to prevent losses. More than anything else, Spiller had healthy legs in 2012, which allowed him to gain the edge before a linebacker could force him back inside for a lineman to make the tackle.
Was 2012 a fluke or can Spiller replicate his elite production? He has the ability but he'll need to stay healthy. Maybe the Bills can also run him around the right out of shotgun more often too. We'll look into Spiller's pass utilization later.

I've got a few folks who have inquired about picking up a "franchise" in the MFL. Of course, we froze the leagues just before the season started, but it looks to me that some teams aren't trying to adjust their squads from week to week (or ever) to maximize their points.
Nobody is required to, of course, and if you're keeping an eye on things, that's fine. But if you've got a team in the league and you're no longer following it, let me know and we'll turn it over to someone who's itching to get in on the action.
If you do not have a team and wish to be on the waiting list, please let me know ASAP at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm thinking the league-leading Indefagitible Bill Carriers may want to ask for a new stadium next year . . . retractable roof . . . skyboxes . . .
Go Carriers!

Team MILVETS pines for the memorable MEMORIAL STADIUM, built with funds donated by many military veterans in memory of those that gave their lives during World War One.
Blessed be the memory of those generous donors whose memorial plaques were shattered by the wrecking ball c1994, when the stadium, was found 'no longer useful.'

Word. Every time I go by the Mall of Meshuggenah I find myself singing "there used to be a ballpark right here" (the Sinatra version, natch).
