Britain's greatest treasures from the mysterious golden Age of Stonehenge are to go on permanent display for the first.
This will be the largest collection of Early Bronze Age gold ever put on public display in England.
In a move that will transform public understanding of the Stonehenge era, the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes, 15 miles north of Stonehenge, is exhibiting 500 Stonehenge period objects, including 30 pieces of gold treasure which have rarely been seen by the public before.
The new permanent exhibition will open today.
The large specially-designed new high security and humidity-controlled exhibition facility, constructed inside the museum, cost £750,000 to build, with funding coming from the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage, Wiltshire Council, the North Wessex Downs Area of Natural Beauty and other sources.
Among the ancient Stonehenge era treasures placed on permanent display for the first time are a beautifully decorated gold lozenge, a magnificent bronze dagger with a gold-covered haft, a golden sheath for a dagger, a ceremonial axe, gold beads, necklaces, ear-rings, pendants and other items of gold jewellery, a unique jet disc (used to fasten a luxury garment), rare traces of ancient textiles and two of the finest prehistoric flint arrow head ever found.
"These and other spectacular treasures from the Age of Stonehenge were unearthed by antiquarians and archaeologists in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, but until now it's never been possible to give the public permanent access to them," said David Dawson, director of the Wiltshire Museum.
"But now, after generous funding from a number of national and local organisations, we have been able to create a secure and stable environment in which they can be enjoyed by visitors to the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site from Britain and around the world.
"Stonehenge is an iconic monument – but this is the first time that such a wide range of high status objects from the spectacular burials of the people who used it, has ever been put on permanent display.
"The most precious gold, jet and amber objects from the period are being permanently brought together to tell the story of the people who lived in and around the Stonehenge landscape when the monument was one of the great religious focal points of western Europe.
"Indeed, many of the items may well have been worn by Bronze Age priests and chieftains as they worshipped inside Stonehenge itself.
"Axes and daggers on display in the new purpose-built galleries are identical to images of weapons carved into the giant stones of Stonehenge itself.
"We believe the new displays are a major step forward in helping to explain the extraordinary sophistication of the remarkable people who used the world's most famous prehistoric monument."
The new facility not only features treasures from the Age of Stonehenge, but also recreates some of the key places they were unearthed.
Archaeologists have recreated the famous Bush Barrow burial, where a Bronze Age chieftain was buried in regal splendour overlooking Stonehenge itself. The museum hopes that the new display will help attract substantial numbers of additional tourists to Devizes, generating jobs in the local community.
"Devizes is mid-way between two of the world's most important ancient monuments – the great prehistoric stone circles of Stonehenge and Avebury. Visiting the Wiltshire Museum completes the experience of seeing these two iconic sites," said Mr Dawson.
The new facility, consisting of four new galleries, form the centre-piece of the relaunched Wiltshire Museum. The museum is run by the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, an independent charity founded 160 years ago. It now has 1,000 members.
The new galleries – featuring gold from the time of Stonehenge – are the first part of a totally new re-presentation of Stonehenge and its landscape.
Two months after the new facility in Devizes opens, English Heritage will open its new Stonehenge Visitor Centre and in 2014 Salisbury Museum will also inaugurate new displays.

Yes, New York State (Still) Needs A "People's Constitutional Convention"
Legislative column from Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb (R,I,C-Canandaigua)
July 15, 2011
In the wake of our historic 2011 Legislative Session's many accomplishments – we successfully closed a $10 billion budget deficit without tax hikes or new borrowing, began the process of shrinking the size and cost of state government, enacted a property tax cap and ethics reform, renewed New York's power plant siting law and made the Power for Jobs program permanent – it would be easy to assume state government is fixed. Easy, but, nonetheless, wrong. JOB OF TRANSFORMING STATE GOVERNMENT IS INCOMPLETE I was proud to play a critical role in making the 2011 Session a success, leading on each of these issues and advancing specific public policies to solve New York's problems. However, with our economy and citizens still hurting, we cannot afford to simply rest on our laurels and "wish" New York's problems away. The people elected us to do a job – make New York State a more affordable place to live, work, raise a family and start a business – and that job is unfinished. State government is still too big, too costly and too unresponsive to the needs of job creators and taxpayers. Our long-term structural debt is a crushing burden that will be passed down to the next generation of New Yorkers. Voters are still denied the opportunity to have their voices fully heard by Albany. In short, despite the successes of the past Session, fundamental fiscal and governmental reforms remain stuck in Albany's legislative limbo. We need to fix that. TO FIX THE PROBLEMS, FIX THE STRUCTURE The answer to making these reforms a reality is moving beyond merely focusing on partisan politics or personalities, and instead examining the broken structure (and institution) of state government that allows common sense reforms to fall by the wayside, year after year, session after session. A "People's Constitutional Convention" could fix this by writing critical reforms into the supreme law of New York, that being our State Constitution. "PEOPLE'S CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION" COULD BE A GAME CHANGER For nearly two years, I have traveled statewide, speaking to thousands of taxpayers, business and civic leaders during 24 Town Hall meetings, publicly making the case for a People's Constitutional Convention. I believe this reform is the "game changer" New York truly needs so long-talked about reforms can finally happen. READ ALL ABOUT IT: MY POLICY ESSAY ON THE PEOPLE'S CONVENTION In light of my efforts, the Albany Government Law Review asked me to submit a policy essay outlining my reasons for advocating a People's Constitutional Convention and describe how such a reform effort could help transform state government for the better. I am proud to report that my policy essay, titled "New York's Last, Best Hope for Real Reform: The Case for Convening a State Constitutional Convention," has been published and prominently featured in the current edition of the Albany Government Law Review and is available on-line at their "Fireplace Blog,". My essay provides a historical context of previous State Constitutional Conventions, addresses specific criticisms of past Constitutional Conventions, and describes how the current effort includes changes such as preventing elected officials, lobbyists or political party bosses from serving in a People's Constitutional Convention. POSITIVE CHANGES THAT A PEOPLE'S CONVENTION COULD DELIVER A People's Constitutional Convention could deliver the following real changes that are needed to fix our (still) broken state government:
- Initiative and Referendum;
- Debt reform;
- State spending cap;
- Pension reform;
- Independent, non-partisan redistricting;
- Unfunded mandate relief for local governments and school districts;
- Term limits; and
- Succession plan for statewide offices.

New USC Sports Medicine Center home to SC's most powerful extremity MRI
By Matt Splett, School of Medicine, email@example.com
The University of South Carolina School of Medicine debuted the state's highest powered extremity MRI Monday (May 21) during the grand opening of its new Sports Medicine Center.
The extremity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, the first of its kind in South Carolina, delivers greater comforts to patients while providing superior imaging for physicians responsible for diagnosing a soft-tissue injury.
Unlike a traditional full-body MRI system, which can require patients lay motionless in an enclosed tube for a prolonged period of time, the extremity MRI takes place in an open environment. The patient sits in a padded chair beside the scanner. The joint requiring imaging — an elbow, wrist, hand, knee, foot or ankle — slides comfortably into the circular imaging device. During the scan, patients can tilt the chair back, read a book and enjoy the mobility not offered to them in a traditional full-body scan.
"Extremity MRI scans reduce the anxiety in patients who experience claustrophobia in an enclosed scanner," said Dr. John Walsh, chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine.
A powerful 1.5 Tesla magnet — comparable to a magnet in a full-body MRI system — produces a clear, quality image. Physicians depend upon these images in the diagnosis of soft tissue injuries.
"MRI is the most powerful imaging tool to aid in the diagnosis of soft tissue injuries," Walsh said. "Our physicians love the extremity MRI technology, because it produces consistent quality images."
Orthopaedic surgeons at USC will rely on the technology in diagnosing ligament tears, sprains, occult fractures that do not appear in x-rays, infections, tumor analysis and cartilage and tendon injuries.
The extremity MRI scanner is located in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine's new Sports Medicine Center at Two Medical Park, Suite 104. The 3,000 square-foot center features seven exam rooms, a concussion testing room, consultation area and fully digital x-rays.
While athletes with joint injuries will benefit from the presence of the extremity MRI's location, the technology is available to any referring physician.
"We encourage any physician requesting an MRI scan for a soft-tissue joint injury to consider USC's Sports Medicine Center," said Walsh. "We are excited to offer this state-of-the-art technology to residents of the Midlands and beyond."
New USC Sports Medicine Center
- Location: University Specialty Clinics, Two Medical Park, Suite 104
- Square footage: 3,000 square feet
- Special features: Concussion testing room, casting room, consultation area, fully digital x-rays, extremity MRI
- Physcians: Dr. John Walsh, Dr. Jeffrey Guy, Dr. Chris Mazoue, Dr. Jason Stacy and Dr. Jeff Holloway
- About: The USC Sports Medicine Center serves the specialized health care needs of athletes at all levels of competition, as well as providing diagnostic, treatment and preventive services to anyone involved in sports and recreation. The multidisciplinary team of physicians provides a wide range of orthopaedic services including general and pediatric orthopaedics and arthritis care and management of bone and joint injuries.

Claremont - Thompson Creek Trail (east path)
while walking this path in the late evening hours strange noises that sound like scratching and footsteps coming from bushes on the sides of the trail have been heard. Also there have been reports of cloud formations forming skull-like shapes. Also when no one is around you sometimes shadowy figures can be seen walking behind you sometimes hiding behind bushes. The crackling sounds from the power lines overhead dont help the experience too much adding a deeper eeriness to this location.

Meet black ebony girls with ebony ladies to start dating black women for ebony love. Single
black ladies in ebony personals to dtart black christian dating check african american chat rooms.
I think you are acting very wise and mature for your age to be considering this decision so thoughtfully. This is not
a choice to take lightly as your black ebony girls would have you do. Moving in together as a trial run before marriage is
not a wise idea. You are completely right for having second thoughts about this issue. Nowadays ebony personals just move
in with each other without a commitment and without a problem. They believe that if they can get along with ebony ladies,
they will eventually get married. People use this type of black christian dating as a way to test their relationship. Fifty
years ago, this would be unheard of. Your family would dis own you and your church would have you kicked out. Not that this
should ever be an issue. I just find it amusing how much times have changed. Although views have changed so much in recent
times, old values do have a certain amount of intelligence to them. If you really want to start dating black women, living
together before marriage is a bad idea and I will tell you why. Most single black ladies still hold to the idea that once
they get married, it will be for the rest of their lives and this is a great way to think. Divorce does happen and it is a
shame because ebony love has problems. When you can make it through those problems, however long it takes, your marriage
will be even stronger in the end. Unfortunately, people use divorce all too often to solve their marriage woes. But when it
comes to divorce versus breaking up in african american chat rooms, the break up happens much more often than the divorce.
Giving it a go at a test run while living together, you will certainly encounter some problems in your relationship. You have
a bigger chance of breaking up instead of getting married. However, if you were married or at least engaged, you would both
give that much more of an effort to work on the relationship and save it during the hard times.

Grocon and the fund's manager, Colonial First State Global Asset Management, will also establish an alliance to bring together their relative strengths in office tower development, construction and funds management.
The managing director, of property at CFSGAM, Darren Steinberg, said the strategic office alliance with Grocon would be as beneficial as the retail alliance forged last decade with the Gandel Group.
But the deal has been marred for investors in the Commonwealth Property Office Fund, because the funding, through a $377 million capital raising at 86¢ per unit, is at a substantial discount to current asset backing.
The impact on distribution per unit – forecast at 5.5¢ per unit in 2011 – will be neutral in the first year because management fees have been waived.
However, the asset backing per unit will fall from $1.14 to $1.09.
The manager of the Commonwealth Property Office Fund,
"We have bought well – the price is a 3 per cent discount to independent valuation – and we have taken a very conservative view on the dilution to NTA,'' he said. "We make decisions on a long- term basis and this transaction will bring a lot of benefits in the long term.''
The three buildings are Media House and the AXA Asia Pacific headquarters on Collins Street, and half of the QV building in Lonsdale Street, including the 47,000 square metre shopping centre.
Mr Moore said the new towers would improve the fund's weighting to A-grade assets, lengthen the lease expiry and substantially increase the exposure to the Melbourne CBD where the fund will now have 28 per cent of its assets.
Mr Moore said Melbourne offered the strongest Australian CBD office market fundamentals over the next three years.
He said that tenant incentives and vacancy were already starting to fall in a resilient economy with strong white-collar employment growth.
Goldman Sachs analyst Peter Zuk said the quality of the towers would enhance the fund portfolio and that the pricing of the deal "appeared reasonable".
He also said the pricing of the entitlement offer "looked attractive".
However, like many analysts, he questioned why equity was being issued at a 20.8 per cent discount to pro forma net tangible asset backing.
On a similar theme, Resolution Capital managing director Andrew Parsons noted in his September quarter commentary that "poor stewardship in relation to capital management'' was driving institutional investors away from the Australian real estate investment trusts.
Equity funding for the deal will come from a $158.6 million institutional placement, a 1:15 non- renounceable entitlement offer and $103 million placement to Grocon entities.
Macquarie Group and JPMorgan are the underwriters.

Zack's square, masculine jaw line will have you hard in your pants as he pulls off his trousers, spreads his legs and and shows off what he's working with. He shows off his ass hole briefly, and then gets back to the cock stroking action, soon shooting a thick stream of cum all over his own thigh.

Grizzlies fall to Las Vegas in 11
Grizzlies lose a hearbreaker in Las Vegas
By Doug Greenwald / Fresno Grizzlies | August 21, 2013 11:17 PM ET
Las Vegas, Nv.--The Fresno Grizzlies (63-68) squandered a 7-0 lead as the Las Vegas 51's (73-57) came back to beat the visitors 8-7 in 11 innings on Wednesday night at Cashman Field.
Las Vegas left fielder Eric Campbell capped a three-RBI night with a single to right field, which concluded the 4:13 hour contest. Campbell (8) hit a two-run homer to left field in the seventh inning for his other tallies.
The Grizzlies jumped on the board scoring five times in third off Las Vegas right-handed starter Chris Schwinden. The rally started on a single to left by Fresno starting pitcher Daryl Maday. The Grizzlies would later load the bases, and then right fielder Francisco Peguero would unload them on a double to left-center which made it 3-0 Fresno. It was his first hit with the bases loaded this year. On the very next pitch, catcher Johnny Monell (20) hit a two-run homer off the right field light pole , which gave Fresno a 5-0 advantage.
Fresno made it 5-0 scoring two more runs in the fifth on a single by Peguero, and an RBI single by third baseman Nick Noonan.
Maday in a spot start lasted four shutout innings. He issued two hits, and the right-hander fanned one.
But Las Vegas scored a run in the fifth, added three runs in the sixth, the big hit of that inning was two-strike pinch single by Jamie Hoffmann. The 51s tallied twice in the seventh, and then tied the game on a homer by right fielder Kurt Nieuwenhuis (13) to right field in the eighth off Fresno right-hander George Kontos.
The Grizzlies had a chance to take the lead in the 11th but stranded the bases loaded. In the bottom of the 11th, first baseman Lucas Duda led off with a single to left off Fresno lefty Dan Runzler (3-7). Then Runzler tried to pick Duda off first but his throw sailed well over the head of Fresno first baseman Chris Dominguez, and down the right field side, and that placed Duda at third. After a walk to third baseman Zach Lutz, it was Campbell who singled home Duda on a 0-2 count.
With the win, Las Vegas stays one game ahead in first place over Sacramento in the Pacific Coast League's Pacific Southern Division.
Game two of this scheduled five-game series will be on Thursday night at Cashman Field. Right-hander Justin Fitzgerald (2-5) will pitch for Fresno against Las Vegas righty Giancarlo Alvarado (4-4). The first pitch will be at 7:05.
Fresno is 7-7 in extra innings.
Right-handed reliever Steve Edlefsen is due to rejoin the Grizzlies on Thursday. He, and his wife Christine became parents for the first time to a baby boy named Sawyer Bradley.

Photos Sought in Lead Up to Great War Centenary
Photos Sought in Lead Up to Great War Centenary
In the lead up to the centenary of World War One in 2014, New Zealanders are being urged to dig out photos of family members who served.
"We are asking people to send us portraits of family who served in the Great War as a tribute to their sacrifices," says Brisbane-based Kiwi Matt Pomeroy, who is one of two men aiming to publish the images next year in a non-profit project.
"It will be a legacy for future generations to be able to look upon some 100,000 faces, and for these people to not be forgotten. Although it was mainly men who volunteered, many people today don't realise that more than 500 nurses served.
"We are searching museums, libraries, historical societies and private collections. But if we want this to be a complete photographic record, we need ordinary Kiwis to have a hunt through their old photo albums."
The images will be published and the duo hopes to make them available online too. They are also asking people to spread the word - the photo hunt could become a class or school project, or a way for clubs or societies to commemorate the Great War.
Mr Pomeroy has a personal connection with this massive project. "I first got into military history when I was researching my family tree, and I discovered my great-grandfather, Sam Pomeroy, had died at Passchendaele in 1917. It's both poignant and fascinating to think that as we approach the anniversary of the Great War, none of these women and men are left."
Mr Pomeroy and his friend Phil Beattie, who is a serving member of the New Zealand Air Force, have been writing about military history for many years. They have already collected the portraits of 4,100 service personnel in a volume called Onward: Portraits of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, which is available at libraries.
They prefer portraits of people in uniform and during 1914-18 if possible. Scanned images, ideally with first and last name, service number and source, can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or posted on their Facebook page Onward Project.
The project is recognised by and linked to the WW100 commemorations, New Zealand's official centenary activities.

1 Night In Miami: Hot Tunes, Hot People, Hot Mess
Last week was the kick-off addition of Miami's newest massive monthly, 1 Night In Miami. It's from the bosses at Committee Entertainment, the same peeps behind mega-awesome parties like Dayglo and Dancegiving Music Festival, so it's no question that the line-up will always be killer and the bitches will be sexy.
This shindig goes down at Space, only one of the most premiere clubs in Miami, and therefor the globe. Multiple levels of rooms with different flavors round out the evening, but of course, the real show is the terrace where the headliners get down.
This time around, it was a funky, techy electro edition featuring two of our favorite selektors, Harvard Bass and Felix Cartal.
We got there a little late, around 1 a.m. just as Harvard Bass was taking the stage, and the place was already swamped. There was a lot of classic and contemporary hip-hop going down on the first floor, greeting the shaking booties as they made their way into the venue. If you've never been to Space, I totally encourage you to take a flick with the giant spaceman by the entrance. Total Kodak moment in the making.[box] The place was poppin' off like a champagne bottle at a Steve Aoki concert, and it was a crazy battle to get upstairs to see the main acts. Make sure you get there early for upcoming events. You do not want to be left out in the cold, punching bitches in the face to get to heaven. [/box]
But once that mission was behind us, we fell right into the groove with Harvard Bass who was killing it on the funky tech tip. He was droppin' bass beats and driving, syncopated rhythms so boss they pretty much forced the crowd to vogue the fuck out. Seriously, Harvard always leaves us at FWP super impressed, and this was no exception.
Felix Cartal was up next, and he wasted no time picking up the groove and taking the place to next-level electro goodness. The crowd had their hands in the air right from the start as smoke filled the room, which was wonderfully decorated with inflatable octopi and giant disco balls.
Of course, he dropped his recent singles Domo and Don't Turn Off The Lights, the former being one of my personal favs for this season, and the latter being a big hit with the rest of the crowd. He also dropped his remix of Britney Spears' I Wanna Go, but we won't hold that against him.
Oh, and here's a fair warning, the drinks are retarrrrrrded expensive at Space. If you ain't got no money, leave your broke-ass home – or stay sober. It's up to you. Then again, maybe you're not coming to an EDM party to drink a whole heck of a lot. Look, we're not judging you on your life choices. Just giving you a heads up.
The night was a big birthday bash for Committee's head-honcho, and I can only imagine he had a great fucking bday. But the next time around, March 16, is gonna be even nuttier. It's the special welcome-to-WMC edition, and they're bringing a sick dubstep line-up that we can't share with you yet, but know you're gonna totally fucking love.
Stay up-to-date with Committee Events by liking their facebook, and make sure you get in on this monthly madness.

Russell Crowe On For Bill Hicks Film
Directing not starring in the biopic
Rumours that Russell Crowe was planning to bring a Bill Hicks biopic to the screen have been bubbling away for a few years now, but the passion project is finally coming to fruition. Sydney's The Telegraph (via Indiewire) reports that the so-far untitled Hicks project will shoot next year, with Crowe making his directorial debut behind the camera.
"Bill Hicks' life is tragically short, but spectacularly interesting," Crowe's old schoolmate and the film's screenwriter Mark Staufer said. "The screenplay has gone through a number of drafts and we'll go into production early next year."
An acerbic chronicler of '80s and early '90s America blessed with a hyperkinetic intelligence and sandpaper delivery, Hicks was a lacerating thorn in the side of the gun lobby, organised religion and hypocrisy in general. He died in 1994 aged 32, an age difference that ultimately predicated against Crowe taking on his mantle on the other side of the camera.
The filmmakers behind 2010's excellent documentary American: The Bill Hicks Story revealed that Crowe was still in touch with the comedian's family with a view to making a film of his life, a relationship that should ensure that a wealth of archive material has been placed at the production's disposal. The next job is finding the right actor to play Hicks.
"It is a huge role for someone", says Staufer, "made all the more special, or downright scary, by the fact the director is an Oscar-winning actor like Russell".
While the casting process takes shape, share your thoughts on who should play the great man in the film. Off the top of Empire's head? Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Ryan Reynolds. Feel free to disagree...

Introducing a date to foreign cuisine can make you seem exotic, much like only communicating with them in the language you just invented. Be worldly with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $25 for $50 worth of Mediterranean food, drinks, and hookah
- $45 for $100 worth of Mediterranean food, drinks, and hookah
The menu includes a rack of lamb with goat-cheese mashed potatoes ($24), a Cleopatra sushi roll with hamachi, salmon, and sliced jalapeño ($15), and falafel with rice and veggies ($12). Twenty hookah flavors ($20) range from rose, mint, and chocolate-mint to apricot and double-apple.
Off the Hookah
Equal parts restaurant, raucous nightclub, and Levantine lounge, Off the Hookah sets the senses adrift in a sea of ornately decorated, semiprivate booths, all bathed in red and orange light. Silken pillows upholstered in arabesque designs cushion the plush couches and banquettes, which sprawl throughout a space sectioned by curtains and arched doorways. Congregating around tables dressed in red linens or ottomans encircled by tassels, revelers can order a hookah or peruse a menu that reads like a culinary Baedeker of internationally inspired foods. The flavors are predominantly Mediterranean and Japanese—hummus and baba ghanouj precede meals of beef carbonara or wasabi salmon sushi—but the entertainment is decidedly Mediterranean. A few nights a week, belly dancers add a sultry flair to meals, much like using placemats made of pages from anatomy textbooks.

well said, lauren!
i think kristen stewart looks like a freaking rockstar!!! everything about this outfit is chic mixed with i couldn't give a crap! she is a hip lady. and really isn't it nice to see a celeb a little disheveled in front of the camera, not because they are stumbling over drunk. k.stewart is awesome. and if she jumped out of a dumpster point me in the direction 'cause i really want that outfit.
I think Kristen Stewart looks awful. Her hair looks stringy and unwashed. Its too bad because she has such a pretty face. Why does she always look like she just jumped out of a dumpster somewhere.
kristen, rocks everything she wears:) you go girl!
Wow, thats intresting, I haven't seen someone wear suspenders in a long time! But she looks good with them on!

Request - remove deletion confirmation

Oh yeah, I saw that list of apps but I hadn't noticed explorer. Thanks for linking it, it looks useful.
It's not quite what I'm looking for though. Sorry to be so persnickety :/
For almost every book/article/whatever in my kindle there is a folder associated with it. I need something to delete those folders at the same time as deleting each book. This way I don't have to delete everything twice. This is quite fiddly in windows explorer, never mind KUAL explorer! (Having said this, even the kindle itself doesn't delete these folders when I delete a book, as far as I can tell)
But the main thing is the way I have things organised into collections (with a ton of help from collections manager) - that doesn't show in the disorganised mess of the kindle documents folder. That makes it even harder to find the things I want to delete.
So what I need is something that displays my collections and files, and enables easy deletion of said files (without confirmation, and preferably via checkboxes so multiple deletions are possible). Even an extra feature in collections manager - a delete button - would solve this problem. Should I post in that thread?
Thanks for your help so far!

Those girls from The Hills sure know how to clean up.
Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge, Whitney Port and Stephanie Pratt all looked stunning and stylish at the PaleyFest09 presentation of The Hills at the ArcLight Theaters in Hollywood on Tuesday night.

Bill Maher on Tuesday said Americans unhappy with the current direction of the country are like battered women that go back to their abusive lovers.
Chatting with Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC's "Last Word," the "Real Time" host also disgustingly claimed, "When they say they want their country back, that`s what they mean, really, is they want their country back to the appropriate time when a white person was in the White House" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
LAWRENCE O`DONNELL, HOST: Now, serious question. Is it just a coincidence that our politics have gotten crazier since the election of a black president? Or is it the very existence of a black president that`s driving some of these people crazy?
BILL MAHER: Oh, I think it`s absolutely that that`s driving these people crazy. When they say they want their country back, that`s what they mean, really, is they want their country back to the appropriate time when a white person was in the White House. It`s called the White House, Lawrence. It`s not hard to figure out.
But I think it`s also just impatience. I mean, I don`t want to cast most Americans as being racist, but I think a lot of them are just dumb. I`m sorry, but they are. They are clueless about the issues. They don`t think further than things are not great, let`s have a change -- even though we just had a change two years ago.
I mean, they voted for this massive change two years ago. But because it didn`t immediately start raining $20 bills, they want to go back to the way it was. They remind me of a battered girlfriend, you know, who goes back to the guy who was battering them because, I don`t know, the new boyfriend forgot their birthday or something.
Honestly, the ignorance on display here was astonishing even for a factually-challenged person like Maher.
Ignoring that racism nonsense, which has sadly become standard fare for this nincompoop, the idea that things are better today than two years ago casts Maher as the one "clueless about the issues."
Two years ago the unemployment rate was 6.2 percent. Now it's 9.6 percent.
Two years ago there were 9.6 million people out of work. Now it's 14.8 million.
And this guy claims folks wanting to go back to that remind him of "a battered girlfriend, you know, who goes back to the guy who was battering them because, I don`t know, the new boyfriend forgot their birthday or something."
So I guess in Maher's twisted view, a 54 percent rise in the number of people unemployed is like a new boyfriend forgetting a birthday.
Of course, the real issue is broader than that, for Americans began this change when they gave Democrats control of Congress in 2007. The numbers since then are even more stark:
- In January 2007 before the Democrats took over Congress, unemployment was 4.6 percent; now it's 9.6 percent.
- In January 2007 there were 7.1 million unemployed people in America; now there are 14.9 million.
- In January 2007 the median home price was $210,600; today it's $179,300.
- In January 2007 the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 12,500; today it's at 11,000.
- In January 2007 the gross federal debt was $9 trillion; today it's $13.5 trillion.
- The poverty rate in 2006 was 12.3 percent; now it's 14.3 percent
- In the final budget created by a GOP-controlled Congress, the deficit was $160 billion; now it's $1.6 trillion.
Add it all up and: there were half as many people out of work then; houses were worth 17 percent more; stocks were 15 percent higher; the federal debt was 33 percent lower; poverty was 14 percent lower, and; the deficit was 90 percent lower.
But Maher thinks folks that want to go back to that are like battered women returning to their abusive lovers.
To give you an idea of just how off-base Maher was, even the liberal website Mediaite found this segment disturbing.
Now that's saying something.

ACRI: Rethink Arab land seizure decision (JERUSALEM POST) By DAN IZENBERG 01/31/05)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1107055730103&p=1078027574097
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) on Sunday called on the government to cancel a secret decision made in July to seize property in east Jerusalem belonging to Palestinians living outside the city limits.
"The application of the Absentee Property Law to property in east Jerusalem and the [outlying Palestinian] villages which were annexed to Israel constitutes a severe and disproportionate injury to the right of ownership, freedom of occupation and the right to live in dignity of the property owners," wrote ACRI legal adviser Dan Yakir to Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz.
According to media reports, the cabinet decided on July 8 to seize the property belonging to Palestinians and others not residing in Jerusalem and hand it over to the Custodian of Absentee Properties in accordance with a law passed in 1950. The Prime Minister´s Office declined to answer a series of questions put to it by The Jerusalem Post.
The daily Haaretz, which got hold of the secret decision over the weekend, wrote that it enables the custodian, in accordance with clause 19 of the Absentee Property Law, to transfer, sell or lease real estate property in east Jerusalem to the Development Authority.
Jerusalem lawyer Daniel Seidemann learned about the cabinet decision when he was informed that olive orchards on the Israeli side of the Jerusalem boundary that belonged to his clients from Bethlehem no longer belonged to them.
"It seems that someone thought it best to keep the information about the decision a secret," wrote Yakir. "This sharply contradicts the principles of proper governance."
Yakir wrote that the properties seized by the government included agricultural land that had not been abandoned, even after it became part of Jerusalem while its owners continued to live in the West Bank. His clients had been harvesting the orchards since the Six Day War.
In other cases, the property consists of buildings in the city which the owners have rented out or allowed relatives to use. In some cases, wrote Yakir, the rental money is the owner´s only source of income.
Yakir wrote that the 1950 Absentee Property Law, which served as the legal basis for the property seizures, was passed during a different period of history and is no longer appropriate, "both in terms of the constitutional regime currently in effect in Israel and the external circumstances that applied then and now."

text: The idea of a graphical front end to the Ports system was mentioned on the forum. Following up on that, I tried the DesktopBSD-tools package and found that it's pretty close to what I was looking for. I think it makes a nice compliment to the PC-BSD Software Manager. (I hope that's not cross-os blasphemy.) At any rate, I've put together a PBI module for the -tools package. Most of the items in the Port already have equivalents in PC-BSD/KDE4, so I only made an icon for the package manager. Everything else seemed unneeded. I had to add a Setup script in the overlay-dir, which creates a file required for the package manager to function on PC-BSD. Everything seems to work okay on my machine, but I'm open to suggestions. Especially concerning the extra binaries in the port. - Jesse -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

McCrea's 20 points lift UB over Drexel
In a game that featured eight ties and 13 lead changes, it was Javon McCrea who made the biggest difference as the University at Buffalo men's basketball team beat Drexel, 55-52, on Sunday.
McCrea scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Neither team shot particularly well in the low-scoring game that saw McCrea shoot 8 of 13 from the floor and make more than a third of his team's field goals.
The Bulls (6-4) shot 21 of 59 from the floor while Drexel (8-4) connected on 19 of 58.
McCrea scored 16 points after halftime, including two quick baskets to give Buffalo a 28-27 lead. The lead changed hands nine times in the second half. A 7-1 run with consecutive baskets from McCrea and Joshua Freelove, plus a three-pointer from Shannon Evans, put the Bulls up for keeps at 49-44 with 4:46 to play.
Allen Tavon led Drexel with 14 points and scored the only three-pointer in 14 team tries.
Elsewhere, St. Bonaventure returns home tonight for the first time since Dec. 3 to host high-scoring Delaware in the Bonnies' final game of the calendar year.
The Bonnies' last game was Dec. 21, a last-second, 74-72 win at Niagara. Delaware also has not played since Dec. 21, when the Blue Hens defeated Bryant in overtime.
The Niagara game was the end of a stretch in which St. Bonaventure played eight out of nine games on the road or at a neutral site. UMass-Lowell was the Bonnies' only home game in a span of 45 days (Nov. 16-Dec. 30). The Bonnies went 4-4 over the eight road/neutral games.
Now, St. Bonaventure will enjoy six out of its next nine games at home, where it is 4-0 to date. The Delaware game starts a three-game homestand.
The Blue Hens have been road warriors this season. This game will be their 10th away from home; three of their six losses came at No. 3 Ohio State, at Villanova and at Notre Dame. Delaware averages 82 points per game but also allows 80 per outing.
Women's basketball
A second half rally fell short as the Niagara women dropped an 84-61 decision to Quinnipiac in a MAAC opener in Hamden, Conn.
The Purple Eagles got off to a slow start and found themselves trailing by 17 points (46-29) early in the second half. They put together a 21-6 run that cut the deficit to 52-50, with 11:45 left.
Chanel Johnson scored 10 of the team's 21 points on her way to a game-high 19 points for the afternoon. From there, however, the Bobcats were able to get their offense rolling again and were able to build their lead back to double digits.
"There were times throughout the game where we looked really good, then there were times when we looked the opposite," coach Kendra Faustin said. "We have to do an overall better job of being consistent. We made a great run in the second half to cut [the deficit] to two and you would never know that by looking at the stat sheet."
Canisius dropped a 72-56 decision at Manhattan in a game in which Golden Griffins senior Jamie Ruttle scored her 1,000th point. Ruttle became the 21st player in program history to reach the milestone.
Canisius hurt itself with 25 turnovers, which led to 30 points for the Jaspers. The Griffins fall to 4-7 overall and 0-2 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Junior Kayla Hoohuli led Canisius with 13 points while sophomore Tiahana Mills added 12 with four assists. Sophomore Crystal Porter added eight points and a career-high 10 rebounds.
"It's very hard to win a basketball game with that many turnovers," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "Manhattan just pressured us, and we lost our focus and turned the ball over. In the first half, we didn't bring enough intensity on the defensive end and let Manhattan get a comfortable lead they did a good job of maintaining throughout the game."

Drillers Sweep Travelers
Bettis breaks ONEOK Field strikeout record
By Tulsa Drillers | April 24, 2013 7:33 PM ET
Prior to this season, Tulsa pitcher Chad Bettis was ranked as one of the top two pitching prospects in the Colorado Rockies minor league system. That ranking came despite Bettis missing the entire 2012 season because of a shoulder injury. Wednesday night at ONEOK Field, the right-hander showed why so many scouts have him ranked so high.
In the first game of a doubleheader with the Arkansas Travelers, Bettis was dominant. The Texas Tech product struck out 11 batters in only 6.2 innings as the Drillers defeated the Travelers 2-1. His 11 strikeouts were a ONEOK Field record, breaking the mark of 10 set by Juan Nicasio on April 23, 2011 against Springfield.
In the night-cap the Drillers got another strong pitching performance from a trio of relievers to post a 3-2 win over the Travs and complete the doubleheader sweep. All three runs came in the second inning as Tulsa benefited from a pair of Arkansas errors.
The sweep improved the Drillers record to 10-9 and moved them into a first-place tie with Springfield atop the North Division standings.
In the opener, Bettis came within one out of working a complete game in the seven-inning contest. He allowed just the one run while surrendering only four hits and one walk. He lowered his season ERA to 2.91 and evened his record at 1-1 with the victory.
The only run against Bettis came in the top of the third inning, as Andrew Heid led off with a base hit. After Travis Witherspoon struck out, Jett Bandy hit a line drive to centerfield that Delta Cleary Jr. initially came in on before trying to retreat. As he changed direction, Cleary Jr. slipped to the turf and the ball landed behind him, rolling to the wall for a double. With runners at second and third, Rolando Gomez lifted a 1-2 pitch from Bettis into right field for a sacrifice fly that gave the Travs a 1-0 lead.
The Drillers erased the deficit in the bottom of the fourth. With one out, Kent Matthes doubled, but was retired in a rundown on a grounder off the bat of Kyle Parker. Henry Wrigley followed with a double that brought Parker home from first with the tying run. Kiel Roling then put Tulsa in front when he dropped a base hit into center field that plated Wrigley.
Bettis made the slim one-run lead hold up and nearly turned in the Drillers first complete game of the year. After retiring the first two batters in the seventh, he had a 2-2 count on Heid before issuing his only walk to end his night after throwing 89 pitches, 68 for strikes.
Mike Solbach came on, and after a passed ball, induced a ground out to end the game. For Solbach, it was his second save.
Just like they did in game one, the Travelers took an early 1-0 lead in the second game. Robbie Windlansky led off the second with his second home run of the season to open the scoring. Randall Grichuk followed with a triple, but Parker Frazier, making his first start of the year, kept the damage at one run by retiring the next three hitters on a pair of ground outs and a strikeout.
The Drillers took the lead for good with their three-run second. With one out, Wrigley singled and Roling reached on an error. Jayson Langfels singled into right field to score Wrigley, and when cutoff man C.J. Cron's throw to third sailed into left field, Roling trotted home to give Tulsa the lead. A two-out single by Christian Adames brought home Langfels to up the margin to 3-1.
Frazier only surrendered the home run in his outing that lasted 3.2 innings. He gave up three hits and issued one walk while striking four. The performance lowered his season ERA to 2.16.
Cory Riordan came on with two outs in the fourth and worked two relief innings, allowing one run. It came in the fifth inning when Witherspoon tripled and scored on a ground out to cut the Tulsa lead to 3-2.
The Travs would get no closer as Mike Marbry got the final out in the sixth inning before pitching around a one-out walk and stolen base in the final inning to close out the doubleheader sweep. It was the right-hander's first save of the year.
Riordan collected the win to improve his record to 2-0.
The Drillers and Travelers will conclude their four-game series Thursday night at ONEOK Field. Tim Gustafson (0-1, 10.45 ERA) will make his fourth start of the year for Tulsa, while Arkansas will send Lay Batista (0-3, 4.02 ERA) to the mound. Starting time is scheduled for 7:05PM.
Fans can listen to the game live on AM1430, The Buzz in Tulsa. The broadcast is also available at TulsaDrillers.com, or through the I Heart Radio app or website.

George W. Bush still was president when Joseph Fauria committed to play football at Notre Dame.
Karl Dorrell was head coach at UCLA, Pete Carroll and USC were perched near the top of college football, the iPhone had not yet debuted, Twitter was just a mild curiosity and Kobe Bryant was a few weeks away from an infamous meltdown in which he'd spend an entire summer demanding to be traded from the Lakers.
The year was 2007 and Fauria was one of the best high school tight ends in the country, his pledge to struggling Notre Dame out of Encino's Crespi High pushing Charlie Weis' recruiting class to the top of the nation and leaving fans to fantasize about a Fighting Irish revival and a potential national championship run.
Meanwhile, upon turning around a once-proud college football program, Fauria would be well-positioned to realize his dreams of playing in the NFL.
Five years, two presidential elections and four iPhones later, Notre Dame fans got their wish, the Fighting Irish roaring into Los Angeles this week as the No. 1 team in the country and needing just a win over USC to punch their ticket to the BCS Championship game.
Fauria, meantime, is indeed a top candidate to play professionally. The 6-foot-8 fifth-year senior has emerged as the kind of pass-catching, route-running, in-line blocking tight end NFL teams deeply covet these days.
"It's all worked out," Fauria said with a smile on a bright Tuesday morning in Westwood.
You can say that. Albeit with enough twists and turns to make a Nelson DeMille novel read like a children's book.
"The ride has been a little crazy," Fauria conceded.
Talk about an understatement.
Instead of running out of the Coliseum tunnel with Notre Dame on Saturday, Fauria will be 11 miles away at the Rose Bowl with UCLA.
Rather than playing for a chance to advance to Miami and the national championship game, Fauria and the Bruins will meet Stanford to determine the matchup in next week's Pac-12 Championship contest, a possible Rose Bowl berth still very much in play for UCLA.
Meanwhile, Weis is no longer in South Bend after Notre Dame fired him three years ago and replaced him with Brian Kelly.
Carroll has moved on to the Seattle Seahawks, his predecessor Lane Kiffin already feeling the heat from frustrated Trojans fans and Dorrell was replaced at UCLA by Rick Neuheisel, who was replaced by Jim L. Mora.
Time flew by, the path was altered and the uniforms changed.
Fauria ultimately got where he wanted, and that's all that matters.
"When you're a 17-, 18-year-old kid and you sign your letter of intent, you have an idea of what it's going to be," Fauria said. "As soon as you get on campus, you're going to be the man, just like you were in high school, but sometimes it doesn't pan out that way.
"Sometimes you end up transferring. Sometimes you end up getting hurt. Sometimes you end up losing."
In Fauria's case, the transfer was prompted after getting suspended for the fall semester of his sophomore year by Notre Dame's Office of Residence Life for a non-athletic issue. The circumstances remain murky but by all accounts Fauria, a known prankster, was involved in a minor incident for which he paid a tremendous price.
People around the program insist the punishment didn't fit the crime, but with the athletic department powerless to challenge the then-powerful Office of Residence Life, the penalty was final.
An angry Fauria promptly left the program, his love for the football program and coaching staff intact but bitterly disappointed with how a disciplinary body within the university could wield so much power.
"My experience was positive, except toward the end," Fauria told the Daily News at the time. "The program was great to me. My teammates were great to me. I'm going to miss all of them.
"My beef is not with the football program or coach Weis. It's with the administration."
Looking back, there's still some disappointment with how things unfolded in South Bend, but Fauria is content with how it worked out for him.
"You just have to keep working, keep praying and keep staying positive, which is what I've done," he said.
It's an outlook that helped pull him through some difficult times, including having to sit out a full season after transferring in 2010 to UCLA - his second choice behind Notre Dame out of high school - adjust to two new offensive systems and then the coaching change from Neuheisel to Mora.
Along the way there were some nagging injuries that limited his playing time. He enjoyed a bit of a breakthrough in 2011, when he caught 39 passes for 491 yards and a team-leading six touchdowns.
This year, with the help of Mora pushing and counseling him to clean up some issues that might hinder him in the NFL, Fauria has blossomed into one of Brett Hundley's favorite receivers with 35 receptions for 478 yards and 10 touchdowns.
"He's a big-time matchup problem," Mora said. "He's so long. He uses his body well to shield the defender and go up and catch it. I think it's a comfort to Brett to know that he can just toss it up there high, put it up on the top shelf and Joe can go up and get it."
In the process, Fauria has matured into one of the top NFL tight end prospects in the country, although that process remained fluid when Mora opened his first spring session.
At the time, Fauria was trying to fight through some physical issues, maybe even allowing them to override his focus and ability to consistently practice hard.
Mora pulled Fauria aside to remind him the NFL doesn't allow for such indecisiveness.
"If you go back to spring, he let nagging things hold him back," Mora remembered. "He just reached a point (at fall camp) up in San Bernardino, and I've talked to him about the next level. You can't let anything hold you back because they'll find somebody to take your spot."
The message obviously was received. Fauria, while still being one of the team's jokesters, also has developed into one of the Bruins' most consistent practice players.
"He's embraced that," Mora said. "He pushes through things now."
While Fauria is focused on UCLA's transformation this year and beating Stanford at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, from time to time he'll dwell on his time at Notre Dame and where the Fighting Irish are headed.
A few players from his recruiting class remain. When he gets a chance, he'll watch their highlights and send positive vibes their way.
"I'm happy for them and I'm wishing them all the luck," Fauria said. "I'm excited about them and they have all my support."
At the same time, he's moved on, his thoughts on the new life he's built in Westwood.
"I'm pumped on us, we're having a good season and we still have quite a bit to prove," he said. "We still have goals in mind. We want to win the Pac-12 championship. We want to play for the Rose Bowl."
It didn't work out exactly as planned, but five years later Fauria has no complaints.

Let's make it 100
Page Tools
Leaders of the pack: Cathy Freeman, Gareth Evans, Olivia Newton-John, Nick Cave and Elle Macpherson.
Readers were swift and passionate in their reaction to our recent cover story on the top 50 real Australian idols, and many had their own nominations, writes David Dale.
They expressed outrage, contempt, bemusement and admiration. They issued press releases. Reader reaction to Spectrum's attempt last month to nominate 50 Australians who really matter to the world, which also appeared in The Age on the same weekend, was helpful in unearthing 50 more Australians who are making a difference - and in making us wonder if we should have started the project at all.
Tim Bullen, of Palm Beach, Queensland, complained: "The minute I saw that article, I felt another episode of cultural cringe coming on. Blech!!! Is the chip on our collective shoulder so big, the insecurity so glaring, that Australians need to print such lists?"
Sorry, Tim, there's one more list below.
Bob Paterson took issue with our definition of "people who matter".
"I put it to you that there are only three professions on which our modern globalised/ industrialised/ electronicalised world is completely dependent and without which (for better or worse) would collapse.
"They really do 'matter' and they are: farmers; miners; and engineers (without whom there would be no ships, planes, trains or automobiles, no power stations, water supply, sewerage systems, radio, TV, newspapers, multistorey buildings and the mass of manufactured products we now consider essential for our lifestyle.)
"On checking your list, I did not find a farmer or miner, but you did have a sole engineer (who is running an airline)."
The theatrical duo Simon Morley and David Friend, who were listed as runners-up to our top 50, put out a press release headed "We was robbed". It said: "The world would certainly be different without the Puppetry of the Penis puppeteers. We are as important to the world of entertainment as Broken Hill-born Professor David Nunan is to the world of applied linguistics.
"I ask you to name two other Australians who have done more for the ancient Australian art of genital origami ... We have proudly sculpted the kangaroo, the Australian coat of arms, Uluru, the koala, the emu and the boomerang, to name just a few, for people of all nationalities. At last count, over 2 million people had seen the show, and that is before video and DVD is counted."
Nobel Prize winner Peter Doherty, who did make it into the original 50, sent this polite note: "Many thanks for the mention in the 50 Australians who matter. I'm very flattered. A minor correction, though. Since mid-2002 I've been spending 75 per cent of my working time in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Melbourne University, and the remaining 25 per cent at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis."
John Lind, of Avalon, was disappointed that "women comprise only 20 per cent of the selection, with no indigenous Australians on the list. To swiftly remedy both categories, I propose Marjorie Woodrow (a dignified and forgiving survivor of the "Stolen Generation"), golden girl athlete Cathy Freeman and trailblazer Evonne Goolagong Cawley.
"Furthermore, I am fascinated that three-fifths of Australia's 'genuine idols' have elected to reside overseas."
Clearly our original list was seriously deficient. These were the omissions most frequently and convincingly nominated by readers: Robert Adamson, poet; Ritchie Benaud, cricket commentator; John Billings and Evelyn Billings, researchers into natural family planning; Geoffrey Blainey, historian; Bob Brown, politician; Nick Cave, musician; Major General Peter Cosgrove, soldier; Judy Davis, actress; Mary Donaldson, Crown Princess of Denmark; Mick Doohan, world motorcycle racing champion; Gareth Evans, president of the International Crisis Group in Brussels; Cathy Freeman, runner; Delta Goodrem, singer; Rod Laver, tennis player; Baz Luhrmann, film director; Elle Macpherson, model and businesswoman; Colleen McCullough, novelist; Olivia Newton-John, singer; Greg Norman, golfer; Guy Pearce, actor; Bruce Petty, cartoonist; Geoffrey Robertson, human rights lawyer; Julian Savulescu, professor of practical ethics at Oxford University; Peter Sculthorpe, musician; Dean Semmler, cinematographer; Dick Smith, entrepreneur; Richard Tognetti, artistic director of the Australian Chamber Orchestra; Tetsuya Wakuda, chef; Steve Waugh, cricketer and charity worker; Bruce Woodley, writer of the song I Am Australian; and Simone Young, conductor.
And here are some others that need more detailed discussion:
David Bussau, aid worker. Susan Glover, of Melbourne, says that as co-founder of Opportunity International, which provides small loans to entrepreneurs in the developing world, he has had "a major impact on eliminating global poverty".
Graeme Clark, the inventor of the "bionic ear". Lisa Tait says his "multi-channel cochlear implant has helped almost 60,000 severely and profoundly deaf adults to hear. He is now trying to help quadraplegics walk."
Derek Denton, medical researcher. Annie Parsons, of Richmond, Melbourne, says that, as founding director of the Howard Florey Institute of Experimental Physiology and Medicine at the University of Melbourne, he was "responsible for discovering the link between salt and high blood pressure".
David Droga, advertising executive. Marcus Droga, of Sydney, says: "At age 35, he is now the creative head of the world's third-largest agency group (Publicis). I understand my brother is responsible for over $US9 billion [$11.6 billion] in advertising billings, which have a big impact on worldwide consumers."
Basil Hetzel, medical researcher. Academic Peter Fensham says: "His work harnessing international experts to eradicate iodine deficiency in many countries has dramatically changed the lives of millions of the world's poor."
John Howard, politician. Rob Charlton, of Elanora Heights, says he is "a much more complex character than most journalists seem willing to admit ... With his prompt and generous response to the tsunami tragedy, he has created more goodwill and greater opportunities for Australia in Indonesia than any other Australian." Sue Demetriadi, of Dorset, England, says Howard is "the voice of international commonsense, statesmanship and a willingness to be outspoken in the face of extreme criticism on the world stage, only then to be copied".
Silviu Itescu, medical researcher. Julie Meldrum says that as director of transplantation immunology at Columbia University Medical Centre, New York, he showed that certain adult stem cells from bone marrow could be used to repair damaged hearts.
Peter Jensen, Anglican Archbishop of Sydney. Huntly Gordon, of Double Bay, says: "The Nigerian Church looks to Peter Jensen for theological leadership at a time of massive flux." Joshua Bovis, of Falkirk, Scotland, says Jensen and Jensen's brother Philip have "contributed largely to Christianity becoming a topic of public open debate. Nothing is more Australian than to have mates have a good argument over a beer!"
Paul Keating, businessman and former prime minister. Jan Merriman, of Bowral, nominates him as "one of 'The Stirrers' who challenged us to think in new ways about the kind of country we were and our place in the world".
Charles Mackerras, conductor. Elizabeth Briger, of Rose Bay, reminds us that he "has been awarded the highest OA, a CBE, a knighthood and a Companion of Honour (only 30 in the world). He conducted the first official concert for the opening of the Sydney Opera House in 1973."
Don Metcalf, medical researcher. Frances Bradstock, of the University of Sydney, says that at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, Metcalf discovered "colony stimulating factors", which have allowed the development of lymphocyte culturing for both research and therapeutic applications, and was one of the pioneers in understanding how different cell types differentiate from stem cells".
Michael Milton, skier. Bradley Keeling, of North Sydney, says he is "probably Australia's greatest winter athlete of all time (with or without a disability) and without a doubt the world's greatest winter athlete with a disability".
Glenn Murcutt, architect. Annie Page, of Millers Point, says: "His distinctive design style, using such products as galvanised corrugated iron, is known throughout the world. He is a recent winner of the international Pritzker Prize (in 2001), comparable to being awarded a Nobel Prize."
Wilga Rivers, linguist. Jenny Dwyer, of Moonee Ponds, Victoria, says Rivers, professor emerita of romance languages and literature at Harvard University, has been "honoured in several countries for her contribution to the teaching of languages, including the Legion d'Honneur from the French Government".
Dorothy Rowe, psychologist. Maryanne Campbell says she was voted one of the six wisest people in Britain for her books and media appearances on conquering fear and depression.
Richard Smart, viticulturist. Norrelle Goldring, of Epping, says he travels the world offering advice on vineyard practices, improving the wines of many countries.
Martin Sharp, artist. Juno Gemes says he was one of the pioneers of the 1960s Pop Art movement and his work is on show at the Tate Gallery and the Barbican Centre, London, although he is "yet to have a major retrospective in his own country".
The Wiggles, entertainers. "I'm serious," says Eli Nossbaum, of St Kilda East, Melbourne, because they "matter to hundreds of thousands of little children around the world. When American children start using Australian terminology, you know these guys are important."
Correspondence is now closed.

why bother? I'm sure it's there for reset to factory, or something
