It doesn't wear tweed. Or brown suits. Or play golf. So what does the Radio 4 audience do? And most importantly, how can the new controller, Mark Damazer, deliver what it - and he - both want?
Addressing the Broadcasting Press Guild in July, Damazer said that Radio 4 must adapt to satisfy listeners who no longer "wears brown suits and tweed and plays golf". He believes that Radio 4's core audience, the British middle class, "is an incredibly vibrant group with a wide breadth of interests and passions. Sex and strong language are not something for Radio 4 to be frightened of." In pursuit of their mutual satisfaction, he promised "dissent, excitement, thrills and fun".
So far, most of the dissent has arisen from the axing of Home Truths, the Saturday morning show which John Peel presented from 1998 and made his own before his death in October 2004. Home Truths, which relates diverse personal experiences from listeners (model rocket flying, sniffing your pets, children caring for sick parents), has staggered on with a series of guest presenters. You either love its homespun cosiness, or loathe it. Damazer, who took over from Helen Boaden in the same month that Peel died, obviously believes that too many potential listeners are of the latter persuasion. It will end in the Spring.
Most of the fun came just before Christmas, when nine-times Sony Gold award-winning Radio 3 broadcaster Andy Kershaw launched into a coruscating attack on Radio 4. Asked on the Today programme to discuss the axing of Home Truths, he couldn't stop himself pulling the whole station apart.
"There's a lot of dead wood," Kershaw, a former radio critic for The Independent, told John Humphrys. "A number of programmes are long past their sell-by date." Woman's Hour, Money Box and PM came in for a bashing. Kershaw later added Sandi Toksvig's travel show, Excess Baggage, consumer programme Shop Talk and Veg Talk, which according to a BBC spokeswoman will be "rested", to his hit-list.
It would be invidious to suggest that all the programmes Kershaw hates are on borrowed time. Yet Kershaw, as a veteran radio-man and, at 46, a relatively young and trendy Radio 4 listener, is better placed than many to gauge the temperature. Damazer has made no secret of his plans to change the station, to make it more "reactive". One radio insider indicates that the atmosphere at Radio 4 is a peculiar mixture of fear and a smug attitude that it has survived worse. Another points out that You and Yours, the butt of much criticism, has responded by reducing the "quirky" items to concentrate on serious issues such as Alzheimer's disease.
"The object of every new Radio 4 controller is 'how can I attract new listeners without alienating the old?'," says broadcaster Roger Bolton, presenter of Radio 4's Feedback programme. "And the added problem is that a lot of Radio 4 listeners are opinion formers."
The average age of a Radio 4 listener is 54. The station pulls in 9.6 million listeners, and has an 11.5 per cent share of the audience (Rajar figures, July to September 2005). In comparison, Radio 2, the nation's favourite, has 12.9 million listeners and a 15.6 per cent audience share; more than 3 million more regular listeners.
Radio 2 has achieved several seemingly impossible tasks, not least the transformation of a constituency of Jimmy Young fans into Jeremy Vine devotees; Vine was rewarded with the Speech Broadcaster of the Year gong at the Sonys in May. Radio 4 is in a more complex predicament; its natural, middle-class listenership is undergoing tectonic social changes and, as Bolton points out, "Radio 4 needs competition and cross-fertilisation from other networks. It is hampered because it is unique. It suffers from all the virtues and vices of a monopoly. But it is still a treasure."
The problem is exactly that. Radio 4 is regarded as "a treasure", and as such deemed untouchable. Remember the national outcry when Woman's Hour moved from the afternoon to the morning slot in the early 1990s? Damazer's first challenge is to tackle this level of resistance to change. His major challenge, however, is to come up with the "excitement and thrills" which will ensure the station does not eventually disappear up its own importance.
Wireless old timers - are they treasures, or just plain tired?
'In Our Time'
This mind-expanding series, fronted by Melvyn Bragg, proved a surprise hit when it formed part of BBC Radio's experiment in downloading programmes using MP3 players. In the first month, in November 2004, there were more than 70,000 downloads of In Our Time, proving that somewhere out there is an untapped appetite for ancient Greek myths and Wittgenstein. It is worth noting that Radio 4 is doing well on new platforms: a source confirms that almost three million hours a month are listened to online, or on demand through "listen again". The most requested show is The Archers.
Radio signal: technological breakthrough
Survival prospects: (out of 10)
'The Afternoon Play'
Like the Crown Jewels, The Afternoon Play is one of those much-talked-about relics that isn't half as exciting when you get close up. The line on the BBC Radio website is: "Dramas which delight and surprise". The last time The Afternoon Play did that regularly was when the world was black and white. Innovative ideas like last year's Archers spoof by Victoria Wood could give the dear old slot the kiss of life.
Radio signal: Are they still using those 1950s mikes?
Survival prospects:
Presenter Libby Purves always sounds like a paranoid dinner party hostess desperate to impress you with her placement. Recent complaints that she lets in too many B-list celebs flogging their books seem to have sent her several octaves up the shrill scale. Purves scored Brownie points with her deft handling of the Joan Rivers/Darcus Howe scrap, but needs to bring it on every week.
Radio signal: high-frequency interference
Survival prospects:
'Veg Talk'
Likely to be on its way to the great allotment in the sky. Damazer is "resting" the show, presented by cheerful cockernee barrow boys Gregg Wallace and Charlie Hicks. A half-hour slot all about vegetables really is Radio 4 at its most eccentric. The rumour was that Damazer was planning something on obituaries to replace it; a BBC source explains that the obituaries show is indeed a new venture, but it will not be taking the place of Veg Talk.
Radio signal: dying off
Survival prospects:
'Woman's Hour'
Andy Kershaw says of the 59-year-old Woman's Hour: "... There are two basic assumptions running through it: 1) all men are bastards; 2) all women are mesmerised by their own reproductive organs." The format, presented by veteran Jenni Murray, does sound weary some mornings. Woman's Hour is capable of deeply moving radio, such as last week's item on stillbirths. Time for a makeover?
Radio signal: subject to occasional hot flushes
Survival prospects:
A news programme, followed by, er, another news programme at 6pm. The back-to-back scheduling of the in-depth PM and the evening news is a prime example of how Radio 4 is governed by its established commitment to news. Potential drive-time listeners are thought to be turned off by all this heavyweight stuff, and don't bother to turn on Radio 4 again later in the evening.
Radio signal: muffled and confused
Survival prospects:
'Home Truths'
Ooh, it just hasn't been the same since John Peel died. Presenters, including musician Tom Robinson, have given it their best shot, but it's all over bar the shouting and will end in the spring. Andy Kershaw suggests that the Home Truths slot be filled by "debates", which, at 9am on a Saturday morning, could be even more trying than hearing about Uncle Bert's lumbago.
Radio signal: fading away
Survival prospects: none
'You and Yours'
Listening to this is like being stuck on a coach trip full of disgruntled pensioners: tons of knowledge, well meaning, but it does go on, and on, five times a week. Surely in rip-off Britain there is scope for a sharper consumer issues programme. And it is a tragic waste of Winifred Robinson, whose Scouse vowels were once deemed too common for Today.
Radio signal: intermittent fault
Survival prospects: on a good day...

Eeth Koth Eeth Koth is a Zabrak. He was born in the slums of Nar Shadda. At the age of four Koth was accepted to be trained as a Jedi. His first padawan, Sharad "Howlrunner" Hett, caused him to be less famous, although well respected among the council, then he should have been. Crucitorn was Koth's unique ability. It went along with a Zabrak's ability to with stand torture. Koth could use Crucitorn to surpass physical pain. |

On Tuesday, July 28, Schemamonk John (Dezorzi) returned to the Hermitage of the Holy Cross. Fr. John was a part of the Hermitage brotherhood from 1998 until 2006, when he left and afterward lived in several other monasteries. However, several weeks ago he called the Hermitage because he had been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, and wished to spend his last days here at Holy Cross. With the blessing of Metropolitan Hilarion, he has been received once more into the Hermitage brotherhood.

Wallet-sized photos come in two sizes. Professional photo labs often use the standard wallet size. It measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches before the edges are trimmed and can fit up to eight wallets per 8" x 10" sheet. But Windows uses a less common size that can fit up to nine slightly smaller pictures on the same paper size. This latter type may fit better in your wallet without you having to trim the edges first.

Can You Help?
Americans have come together as never before in our generation. We have banded together to overcome adversity. We have overcome corporate/government scandal, layoffs, unemployment, stock price plunges, droughts, fires, mad cow, SARS, and high gasoline prices. But now, we must come together once again to overcome our greatest challenge yet.
Hundreds of Professional Football players in our very own nation are going to be locked out, living at well below the seven-figure salary level. And as if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their life giving pay for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming lockout situation. But you can help!
For only $27,080 a month, about $902.75 a day (that's less than the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help an NFL player remain economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and every little bit will help!
Although $900 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a football player it could mean the difference between spending the lockout golfing in Florida or on a Mediterranean cruise. For you, nine hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, a mortgage payment, or a month of medical insurance, but to a football player, $900 will partially replace his daily salary.
Your commitment of less than $900 a day will enable a player to buy that home entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio .
Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the player you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. Plus, upon signing up for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo of the player lounging during the lockout on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed photo, please include an additional $150). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples' suffering.
Your NFL player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need. Although the player won't know your name, he will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in case additional funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.
Remember, a lifestyle is a horrible thing to waste...
I would like to sponsor a locked out NFL player. My preference is (check below):
[ ] Offense [ ] Defense [ ] Special Teams [ ] Entire team
Please charge the account listed below $902.75 per day for the duration of the lockout. Please send me a picture of the player and my very own Roger Goodell (NFL Commissioner) pin to wear proudly on my hat (include $80 for hat).
Your Name:____________________
Account Number:__________________Exp.
[ ] MasterCard [ ] Visa [ ] American Express [ ] Other

Well Serie A fans, welcome back. The national team solidified their chances of going to South Africa so now its time for the clubs to solidify their chances for either a Scudetto, European competition place, or avoid relegation. With only 8 weeks left, teams need points and need them NOW.
Inter Milan may have secured their 17th Scudetto with a lucky 1-0 road win over Udinese. Nerazzurri were gifted the 3 points when Udinese defender Mauricio Isla put the ball in his own net in the 77th minute. Inter continues to top the table with 72 points extending its lead to 9 points over Juventus.
Juve dropped points to Inter after a thrilling 3-3 draw vs Chievo. Sergio Pellissier scored a hat trick to lead Chievo but La Vecchia Signora got a point on an own goal by Chievo's defender Andrea Mantovani. The draw breaks Juve's 5-game winning streak.
The contenders for the last two Champions League spots will push the drama till the very end as all the teams in contention won their matches.
3rd place Milan beat Lecce 2-0 at home on the strength of two 2nd half injury time goals from Ronaldinho & Pippo Inzaghi. 4th place Genoa kept within 4 points of Milan with a tough 1-0 road win over Reggina. Thiago Motta scored in the 78th minute to maintain Genoa's standing. 5th place Fiorentina stayed 2 points back of Genoa with their 2-1 road win over Atalanta. Alberto Gilardino scored the game winner in the 89th minute providing heart -wrenching drama for I Viola.

Meet David Miller, a seemingly mild-mannered married man and father of two who is planning a family road trip to Mexico. But let's get real for a moment. There is no David Miller. This poster—courtesy of Facebook—actually features David Burke, a grungy, low-level pot-dealer who has been tasked with picking up a massive shipment of drugs from Mexico by a sociopath who owns a shark-chomping killer whale that swims around the aquarium walls of his office. So, what does screw-up Burke decide is the best way to get this massive haul of marijuana through customs? By pulling together a fake family of misfits to masquerade the drug run as a family vacation. That is the wild plotline of the upcoming New Line comedy We're the Millers. Jason Sudeikis, who has played cads in Hall Pass, Horrible Bosses and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, stars as the duplicitous David. Emma Roberts (Scream 4) is a gutterpunk runaway pretending to be David's daughter; Will Poulter (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) portrays the clueless virgin/next-door neighbor who is way too eager to play his son. (You can see their character posters here.) And last but not least, Jennifer Aniston, Sudeikis's Horrible Bosses co-star, is on board as a stripper paid to play Momma Miller. Her character poster has yet to be revealed, but you can see her strip in thesetrailers. Each of the posters so far show the "Millers" at their squeaky clean best, rather than their unsavory real worst. It's funny that New Line didn't opt for showing a bit of both, as the image above is pretty vague as to the stories plot. Looking at this, you might assume David Miller is a former drug dealer trying to turn his life around instead of a scoundrel playing dad to hide his dealing. Still, the visual ties to the iconic Forty-Year-Old Virgin poster are enough to suggest this is a subversive comedy. So maybe that's enough for now. We're the Millers opens August 9th.

This is loosely based on this guy from my dreams. Not of. From. He tried to kill me, honest. I was just bored one day too so...
Sort of a part two of the first one. A final desiscion. I like this one better, if at all, than the first.
Just a skiff of an idea for a story. Whether or not I get the inspiration to continue it ever again, time will only tell. lol.
This really doesn't have much to do with anything. It's similar to the other two, but don't worry, one day I'll do something new...lol.

"I'd leave 99, leave them all behind to find you!"
25 Respuestas a Audio Adrenaline – Leaving 99 with lyrics
almost made me cry for real i just love this song )
@Marshmellooooo us . Sad because i sometimes take advantage of The Lords mercy,i sometimes dont really think about how much the Lord cares. But I am trying to build a better relationship with the Lord, by putting more importance, reading my Bible, and praying. this song is my reminder that The Lord will always be there for me… but i also need to put in the effort.
i never really knew what this song meant. but every time i heard it it made me want to cry like happy tears and sad tears. then someone explained to me what the song meant. Now i know why this song makes me feel happy and sad. Happy because The Lord is so merceful he always forgives and cares deeply for
thank you lord for leaving those 99 just to find me!!! Jesus is love:)
Matthew 18:12 and Luke 15:4
I love this song.. It really makes me cry in a good way it really reminds me that know matter what am going through that God you are right there no matter what Thank you Lord for your forgivness and Love..
this song always makes me wanna cry. its just really beautiful.
I love it!

@und3rdog4jc AMEN!! I just read the scripture yesterday!! We have an AWESOME SAVIOR!!
@wpunkzz yeah good idea! God bless you too!
Thank u so much for the answer. Dang, I better start read my Bible again. Havent read it for a while >.< God bless -
@wpunkzz there is a verse in the Bible which says that the good shepard (Jesus) takes care of his sheep (children). And if any of the sheep get lost He would leave the other 99 just to save the one that got lost. It's the idea that Jesus cares and loves each and every child of his and he is willing to do anything just to turn those who got lost on the right path
I love this song a lot, can someone explain to me twhat he meaning of 99? or they juz choose any number that rhyme w/ the entire song? I mean, I'm still gonna love it whether it juz any random number.. anyone know the answer?
this is such an uplifting song… thanks for posting it brother!
@GodsGuy9795 i'm glad to hear that. God bless!
I had a really bad day. As I listened to this song, i just broke down and cried. Jesus really spoke to me today. Thank you so much.
@PaidInFull768 Thank you! God bless!
The love of my life sent me this song when I was in a dark place, and I'm praying that God may lead us back together. I am in so much pain without him in my life, I weep for him daily and at this very moment. May the Lord have mercy.
Awesome!! What a song!
Great song….great video! You did a wonderful job! Thanks!

this song makes me feel truly loved despite growing up in a abusive home
ohhh superb promise !!! I really want my King to find me and take in his arms back home!! Its cold in here

Like the nearby Little Lost Cove Cliffs, these soaring faces are a part of Big Lost Cove Ridge and Headquarters Mountain. There are a number of impressive related peaks nearby rising up toward the spine on which the Blue Ridge Parkway winds, and then onward to the king peak of the Blue Ridge, Grandfather Mountain/Tanawha.Occasionally in my travels I will happen upon a place that is so beautiful and so awe-inspiring that I don't want to leave it. Logic will tell me that I need to go, that others are waiting, that it's getting dark, that people who love me are waiting for my return; but just the same I can't seem to tear myself away. Big Lost Cove Cliffs was just such an experience for me.
The hike to the cliffs is interesting, passing through a really weird type of forest that I'd never encountered: a mix of chestnut oaks and hemlocks. Of course the hemlocks are all dead or nearly so. But the oaks are healthy enough and the woods along Big Lost Cove Ridge are strangely open. Even in the midst of green summer one can stand on the trail and peer through the woods for great distances. I would assume that these woods were logged completely to the ground within the last seventy to eighty years, so the soil and weather/moisture conditions must be ideal to produce such a healthy and impressive forest in so short a time.
The southern Appalachians in general are a prime example of how well Mother Earth heals herself if left alone. But this area is an exceptional example. The entire region around Big Lost Cove Ridge was once logged down to the dirt; and it had a thriving community with homes, stores, textile mills, and lumber mills. But in 1940 a great flood swept through the then-nearest town (Mortimer) wiping away the mills. The town never recovered and it's now only a memory. These days you merely spy a few shattered walls standing in the woods, or stumble upon cracked foundations where once people lived and worked.
The hike to Big Lost Cove Cliffs is a relatively easy one. From the trailhead along Forest Service Road 464, the trail follows an old logging road bed. It passes through those previously mentioned oak/hemlock forests. In spring and summer there are lots of mountain laurel, rhododendron, and azaleas in bloom. The guidebooks and maps give the trail distance from the road to the cliffs as one and one half miles. However, after having hiked it, I feel the distance is somewhat longer--perhaps as much as two miles.
The trail is an easy one, traversing the ridge line with very little gain or loss in elevation. After about a mile, however, the trail passes by a rock wall that looks ideal for bouldering and aid climbing. From this point the trail does lose a bit of elevation. Suddenly, one emerges from the forest at the top of Big Lost Cove Cliffs. The views are amazing. I'd thought that Little Lost Cove Cliffs had a wonderful grandstand for viewing Tanawha, but this one is even better, being several miles nearer the huge peak.
The cliffs plunge away impressively. Some of them for several hundred feet. The cliff tops have been colonized by Table mountain pines which look thick and stunted and ancient. The rock is pale and glowing in the sunlight. Peregrine falcons nest in the cliff and I heard their singular screech on the high winds that buffeted the tops.
It's a hard place to leave. It's one of the most beautiful spots I've visited in many years. I'll go back as soon as I can.

Barcelona boss Gerardo Martino believes playing at home could give his side the edge as they look to snatch the Spanish title away from Atletico Madrid by beating their rivals next Saturday.
The fight for the title will go to the final weekend after Atletico failed to take advantage of Barca's 0-0 draw away to Elche as they were held 1-1 at home to Malaga.
Atletico lead Barca by three points, but the Catalans will take a 23rd La Liga title with victory thanks to a better head-to-head record.
"We are going to need the support of the fans so that the players on the field can feel it and feed off it," said Martino.
"It has not been a season in which we have shone a lot, but with the help of the fans we can win the league."
Barcelona had started brightly against Elche as Andres Iniesta struck the bar with a volley from outside the box, but the were stifled by the hosts' well-organised defence throughout.
And Martino admitted that he was afraid to risk everything in search of the three points as losing would have ended Barca's title challenge.
"It was one of those matches in which you have a strange feeling, especially after Andres' shot. We began to make mistakes and sometimes lacked the patience needed due to desperation," said the coach.
"We were playing with the result in our game and that with Atletico. At the end we didn't know if we should risk too much or if a goal from them would take us out of the race."
In the end it was Atletico who ended the day disappointed as they missed the chance to seal their first La Liga title in 18 years by only managing a point at home to Malaga.
However, they have yet to be beaten by Barca in five meetings between the two in all competitions this season and Atletico captain Gabi remains confident they can get the point they need at the Camp Nou.
"We still believe in this team. We are Atletico and we are going to go there to win," he said.
"We wanted to be champions today for all our fans, but we will give everything in Barcelona to do it and we are used to playing finals."
Atletico boss Diego Simeone hailed his players efforts despite failing to get the win they needed and said he would have been delighted with the situation they find themselves in at the start of the season.
"If you had told us at the start of the season that we would play the last game in the Camp Nou with a three-point advantage over Barca no one would have believed it.
"Now, like in every final, there is a 50-50 chance for both teams.
"We remain humble, but what this team has done has been marvellous and come about thanks to a huge effort. Hopefully we can round it off at the Camp Nou."

I hope that all of you Mom's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day! It was a gorgeous day here in Colorado. We drove up into the mountains and did one of our favorite hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park. They still had lots of snow up there, so we actually got to snowshoe one last time this season. It was a little strange to be in the 70's and have lots of snow around. It was a great day to spend together as a family.
So, my husband requested salad for dinner. If you know him, you know that this is completely out of sorts for him. Well, he got me Simply Ming in Your Kitchen and was having fun picking out recipes to try. One of the ones he mentioned was this Thai Beef Salad. I half thought he was kidding, but figured I better make it quickly, before he changed his mind. Two days later, we had this for dinner.
Guess what! He wants to have it again! My salad hating husband, is requesting that I make this salad again. That is how you know it is good. The dressing is tangy and full of Asian flavor. The warm steak on top puts it over the top. I used a sirloin when I made it, but next time I think I am going to up the anti and use a filet. Use whatever cut you like, grill the steak if the weather is good, just make this soon!
- 10-12 oz sirloin or strip steak, about 1 inch thick
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 4 Tbls canola oil
- 2 shallots, minced
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced (reserve 1 Tbls for garnish)
- 1/2 Serrano pepper, minced (or jalapeno)
- 3 limes, juiced
- 3 Tbls fish sauce
- 1 bag coleslaw mix (substitute small head of white cabbage, small head of radicchio and 2 carrots all finely chopped)
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbls of oil, swirl to coat the pan. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Add the steak to the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 5 minutes for medium, and 6 for well done. *Times depend on how thick the steak is.
- Remove cooked steak from the pan, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Return the pan to medium heat. Saute shallots, green onions, and Serrano pepper until soft, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, add lime juice and fish sauce. Whisk in 3 Tbls of canola oil.
- In a large bowl toss the warm dressing with the coleslaw mix. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Slice steak about 1/4 inch thick
- To serve divide coleslaw mixer onto 4 plates. Place a few strips of steak over the salad, and garnish with green onions.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A who's who of luminaries from entertainment, sports and the arts were being inducted into New Jersey's Hall of Fame on Sunday night.
Actor John Travolta, singer-actress Queen Latifah, singer Tony Bennett, lifestyle guru Martha Stewart and former New Jersey Gov. Brendan Byrne were among the 13 members of the 2011 class being inducted.
"New Jersey pride has now become part of the state's culture, and we're happy to have it," Byrne said as he walked the red carpet leading into the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, where the induction ceremony was taking place.
Onlookers gathered behind the ropes holding cellphone cameras as inductees past and present entered the venue, stopping to speak to the media or greet fans and friends.
Rounding out the hall's 2011 class are World War II heroes John Basilone and Admiral William "Bull" Halsey, football greats Franco Harris and Joe Theisman, novelist Mary Higgins Clark, jazz great John "Bucky" Pizzarelli, actor Bruce Willis and businessman and former Jets owner Leon Hess.
The hall honors New Jerseyans who have made their mark in the fields of history, entertainment, enterprise and sports. There's also a general category for educators, military leaders and politicians.
Previous inductees include Bruce Springsteen, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and Yogi Berra. Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Les Paul, Count Basie and Carl Lewis were inducted in May.
Nominees must have lived in New Jersey for at least a 5-year period and must have "made a signature contribution to New Jersey and beyond," according to organizers.
Many inductees were born or raised in the Garden State; some still live here or have other significant ties to New Jersey. Travolta was born and raised in Englewood, for example. Higgins Clark is active in several New Jersey charities. Hess, who died in 1999 and was being inducted posthumously, once owned the Jets professional football franchise.
The hall, which had existed virtually, mounted its first exhibit on the boardwalk at Asbury Park last fall. Items on view included Nicholson's second-grade report card and an Edison High School cheering jacket that once belonged to inductee Susan Sarandon.

Mathematical object

A mathematical object is, loosely speaking, anything you can "do mathematics on". More formally, it is an object that has a definition, obeys certain properties, and can be the target of certain operations.
For example, consider the mathematical object called a complex number:
- Definition:
- A complex number is any number that can be written in the form , where and are real numbers and the entity is an imaginary number, for which the imaginary unit .
- Example property:
- If , then is a real number.
- Example operation:
- Multiplication:
Note that one mathematical object can be defined in terms of other mathematical objects. In fact, apart from a small number of undefined objects, the existence of which is simply assumed, all mathematical objects are defined in terms of others.
The various areas of mathematics (or mathematical school subjects) can be organized by the type of mathematical object they primarily concentrate on.
Object | Subjects or areas of mathematics |
Number | Arithmetic, number theory |
Variable | Elementary algebra |
Function | Intermediate algebra, precalculus, calculus (and higher forms of analysis) |

Constitutional safeguards against centralization in federal states: An international cross-section analysis
This paper contains an international cross-section analysis of the share of central government expenditure in total government expenditure for a sample of about 50 countries and a subsample of 23 industrial countries in 1989–91. The expenditure shares, their changes and the unexplained residuals for each country are reported in Table 1. As the analysis demonstrates, the share of central government is significantly lower, if income per capita and the country's area are large and if it is a federal state. The explanatory power of the equation rises considerably if the binary dummy for federalism is replaced by quantitative constitutional variables. The most powerful single explanatory variable is the age of the constitutional court in the complete sample or the constitutional court's independence of union institutions in the sample of industrial countries. The equation's explanatory power (adjusted for degrees of freedom) can be raised by allowing also for the degree of control which provincial institutions have over the constitution and over the second chamber and by taking into account whether an increase in federal tax rates requires a popular referendum. Other types of constitutional referenda and the relative age of the federal constitution do not seem to matter. Among the federal states, the share of central government is much larger than predicted in the United States and Mexico, and it is much smaller than predicted in Argentina and Canada. The constitutional variables are particularly helpful in explaining the relatively small share of central government in Switzerland, Malaysia, Germany and Austria. The last section draws conclusions for the design of constitutions with some special applications to the European Union. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1996

When I first read about the Play Version Manager I first thought it was some sort of tool for versioning.
When Play! Framework 2.1.0 came out, I finally realized that it was a tool for switching back and forth between various Play! Framework versions.
So download the Play Version Manager from github: https://github.com/kaiinkinen/pvm
You can do things like "pvm use 2.1.0" or "pvm use 2.0.4".
Here are some of the supported commands:
$ pvm [tab][tab]
alias copy-packages help
list run uninstall
version clear-cache deactivate
install ls unalias
So, download it, and give it a try.

Description: This film is from Senegal, a former French colonial nation in Africa. When the French attempted to control the lives of these African villagers too minutely, to the point of regulating how they worshipped their gods, a general revolt broke out which was met with severe reprisals.

Gina's Italian Kitchen and Pizzeria Makes Urbanspoon's Most Popular Family-Friendly Restaurants List
Gina's Italian Kitchen represents Houston on Urbanspoon's "Most Popular Family-Friendly Restaurants" List.
Photo courtesy of Gina's Italian Kitchen
Summer has started for most kids in Houston, which means more time spent with family, especially when it comes to eating out.
Urbanspoon released its list of "Most Popular Family-Friendly Restaurants" and guess what? One Houston location made the list. Gina's Italian Kitchen and Pizzeria is one of 100 restaurants throughout the country featured on the list of family-friendly restaurants selected from the most positive reviews from professional food critics, Urbanspoon reviews and bloggers.
Seven other Texas restaurants made the list as well, just four entries behind Florida which had the most.
Gina's Italian Kitchen and Pizzeria has two locations in Houston. One is in Clear Lake and the other is in Friendswood. The restaurant's website also shows that another location is coming soon to Deer Park. Just about every review on the restaurant's Urbanspoon page mentions great food and great service, which have kept people coming back to the authentic Italian restaurant.
One diner review said,
"I went out to dinner with my daughter and our server was David, he was great, friendly, charming, and informative! The food was amazing, we had the Mediterranean Chicken and I had the Chicken Gianni soup and it was delicious! Definitely a great place to go for family and it had a very warming environment."
Gina's menu is filled with classic Italian dishes, from cheese ravioli to baked ziti to pizzas and calzones. Saying as how most kids like Italian food, it is no wonder the restaurant received a spot on the list for "Most Popular Family-Friendly Restaurants" in the nation.
Every day this barbecue place is open for business, the line wraps around the building.

Austin contributed four restaurants, including Franklin Barbecue, Home Slice Pizza, Hopdoddy Burger Bar and Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill. San Antonio had two entries with Chama Gaúcha Brazilian Steakhouse and Gristmill Restaurant. Dallas/Fort Worth also contributed Oliva Italian Eatery to the list.
Overall, pizza and barbecue were the most popular food categories on Urbanspoon's list of "Most Popular Family-Friendly Restaurants." Italian food covered 20 percent of the entries, pizza made up 16 percent, BBQ made up 10 percent and Mexican/Latin consisted of 10 percent of the entries on the whole list.
Now you at have at least eight guaranteed family-friendly restaurants in Texas to visit this summer.

This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.31 / 5.00 5,629 ViewsHank isn't the only gun toting character on NG..Hes greeted by Newgrounds next big thing..
Happy Madness Day!!
I started this flash yesterday morning from a Madness drawing I had from before and I hoped it for it to be released last night but I kept working on it to make sure it was up to par on Madness standards. Hope y'all like it!
1st real movie on NG and more to come!!
~*Starr Out*~
I bet Wolfy is going to be awsome. I just hope he comes and is welcomed by the other NG icons, because he is going to join them, I just know it.
Look out NG. Here comes Wolfy!!!!
Has Potential
The animating itself wasn't the best, but the artwork was pretty well done. Personally I like furries, but adding one to an already created series is kind of corrupting it. You know what I mean? I'm not saying I hated it, it could be a cool series, but just don't use the madness character mixed with furries. First of all it will look pretty two dimensional, and not the artwork, but how theres two completely different styles mixed. Technically mixing styles could be a good thing, but not with furries and madness.
Overall the animating needed work, the artwork was "good," but the story line needed more originality. Suggestion would be to make everyone furries and fight madness style, but don't use madness character. Hope I got my point across, sorry for the long review :3
man that was lame,terrible,shitty,and really un-original u can just come and say to all newgrounds:"hey hank isnt the only one with the guns","the next big thing....WOLFY"? is not your decision of choosing who will be the next mascot or protagonist of a certain flash or webesite that already has its protaginist it always depends on the original creator and that will be krinkles.

I started Wednesday with a birthday breakfast with a friend from college, then lunch with a former mentor, followed by roundtable meetings. I focused on the Archivists' Toolkit / Archon Roundtable meeting, which is always a big draw for archivists interested in new developments with the software programs. Perhaps the biggest news came from Merilee Proffitt of OCLC, who announced that ArchiveGrid discovery interface for finding aids has been updated and will be freely available (no longer subscription based) for users seeking archival collections online. A demo of the updated interface, to be released soon, was available in the Exhibit Hall. In addition, Jennifer Waxman and Nathan Stevens described their digital object workflow plug-in for Archivists' Toolkit to help archivists avoid cut-and-paste of digital object information. Their plugin is available online and allows archivists to map persistent identifiers to files in digital repositories, auto-create digital object handles, create tab-delimited work orders, and create a workflow from the rapid entry dropdown in AT.
On Thursday, I attended Session 109: "Engaged! Innovative Engagement and Outreach and Its Assessment." The session was based on responses to the 2010 ARL survey on special collections (SPEC Kit 317), which found that 90% of special collections librarians are doing ongoing events, instruction sessions, and exhibits. The speakers were interested in how to assess the success of these efforts. Genya O'Meara from NC State cited Michelle McCoy's article entitled "The Manuscript as Question: Teaching Primary Sources in the Archives — The China Missions Project," published in C&RL in 2010, suggesting that we have a need for standard metrics for assessment of our outreach work as archivists. Steve MacLeod of UC Irvine explored his work with the Humanities Core Course program, which teaches writing skills in 3 quarters, and how he helped design course sessions with faculty to smoothly incorporate archives instruction into humanities instruction. Basic learning outcomes included the ability to answer two questions: what is a primary source? and what is the different between a first and primary source? He also created a LibGuide for the course and helped subject specialist reference/instruction librarians add primary source resources into their LibGuides. There were over 45 sections, whereby he and his colleagues taught over 1000 students. He suggested that the learning outcomes can help us know when our students "get it." Florence Turcotte from UF discussed an archives internship program where students got course credit at UF for writing biographical notes and doing basic archival processing. I stepped out of the session in time to catch the riveting tail-end of Session 105: "Pay It Forward: Interns, Volunteers, and the Development of New Archivists and the Archives Profession," just as Lance Stuchell from the Henry Ford started speaking about the ethics of unpaid intern work. He suggested that paid work is a moral and dignity issue and that unpaid work is not equal to professional work without pay.
After lunch, I headed over to Session 204: "Rights, Risk, and Reality: Beyond 'Undue Diligence' in Rights Analysis for Digitization." I took away a few important points, including "be respectful, not afraid," that archivists should form communities of practice where we persuade lawyers through peer practice such as the TRLN guidelines and the freshly-endorsed SAA standard Well-intentioned practice document. The speakers called for risk assessment over strict compliance, as well as encouraging the fair use defense and maintaining a liberal take-down policy for any challenges to unpublished material placed online. Perhaps most importantly, Merrilee Proffitt reminded us that no special collections library has been successfully sued for copyright infringement by posting unpublished archival material online for educational use. After looking around the Exhibit Hall, I met a former mentor for dinner and went to the UCLA MLIS alumni party, where I was inspired by colleagues and faculty to list some presentation ideas on a napkin. Ideas for next year (theme: crossing boundaries/borders) included US/Mexico archivist relations; water rights such as the Hoover Dam, Rio Grande, Mulholland, etc; community based archives (my area of interest); and repatriation of Native American material. Lots of great ideas floated around…

For anyone who may have been wondering about my sudden week-long silence, it's because the whole upstairs of our house, every room, is being painted for the first time in 20 years. Wallpaper coming off, new paint everywhere. And all the furniture has been moved away from all the walls and clustered in the middle of each room. My computer was buried in such a cluster (and covered with a drop-cloth) until half an hour ago.
In an unrelated development, my computer is showing signs of illness and needs a doctor rather badly, so I may be off-line a while longer, don't know. Will try to post a couple of things that have been on my mind before I take it to the PC doc...

Neat! What color are you painting upstairs?
- March 23, 2010 at 10:05 AM
- Anastasia Theodoridis said...
Oh, Emily. we are such boring people! We can't think what color we want our rooms, so they're mostly a (gorgeous!) off-white, with the teensiest hint of pastel orange.
The only exceptions are that one room is going to be in a pale gold. And the master bathroom and bedroom each have an accent wall in lavender, because I already know my color scheme there is going to be lavender and yellow.
S-P, it feels like a new house in more than one way: we're also having to move in all over again, at least as far as the upstairs is concerned! All the closets are included in this new paint-job, so every one of them has been emptied.
It could be worse. At least I have gone through the closets every year or so and weeded out some things and organized stuff. - March 23, 2010 at 4:37 PM

Syrian government forces have attacked rebel-held areas with poisonous chlorine gas in recent weeks and months, leaving men, women and children coughing, choking and gasping for breath, according to interviews with more than a dozen activists, medics and residents on the opposition side.
Syria flatly denied the allegations, and they have yet to be confirmed by any foreign country or international organisation. But if true, they highlight the limitations of the global effort to rid President Bashar al-Assad's government of its chemical weapons.
Witnesses near Damascus and in a central rebel-held village told the Associated Press of dozens of cases of choking, fainting and other afflictions from inhaling fumes that some said were yellowish and smelled like chlorine cleanser. Some said they believe the gas was responsible for at least two deaths.
They said the fumes came from hand grenades and helicopter-dropped "barrel bombs", which are crude containers packed with explosives and shrapnel.
Activists have posted videos similar, though on a far smaller scale, to those from last August's chemical weapons attack near Damascus that killed hundreds of people and nearly triggered US air strikes against Syria. The new footage depicts men, women and children coughing and gasping in field hospitals.
The UN Security Council called for an investigation on Wednesday. Council members expressed "grave concern" over the allegations, said Nigeria's UN ambassador U Joy Ogwu, council president.
It is an accusation that carries high stakes, and the Syrian opposition has an interest in pushing such claims in hopes of spurring the world to take action against Mr Assad, who faces a Sunday deadline for handing over all his chemical weapons for destruction. Chlorine is a potentially lethal chemical with a multitude of ordinary civilian uses, including laundry bleach and swimming-pool disinfectant. In high concentrations, it can attack the lungs and asphyxiate victims.
While chlorine was first deployed on the battlefield in the First World War, it is no longer officially considered a warfare agent and is not among the chemicals declared by Syria. It is not as effective at killing as sarin – the nerve agent that was apparently used last summer – and experts say it is difficult to achieve high concentrations of chlorine by dropping it from the air.
Still, any toxic chemical is considered to be a chemical weapon if used for military purposes. Consequently, Syria's use of chlorine-filled bombs, if confirmed, would be a violation of the chemical weapons treaty that Mr Assad's government signed last year.
On Wednesday, Syria's UN ambassador, Bashar Jaafari, said his government categorically denied the use of chlorine gas. Mr Jaafari further disputed that chlorine gas could be categorised as a chemical weapon, saying "it is a mundane substance used for bleaching clothes or disinfecting swimming pools".
Jen Psaki, a US State Department spokeswoman, said officials were still trying to determine what happened. On Sunday, the French President, François Hollande, told Europe 1 radio station there were "elements" suggesting recent use of chemical weapons, but no proof.
The Violations Documentation Centre, a Syrian group that tracks human rights violations, issued a report last week in which it claimed to have documented the use of chemicals in 15 instances since the beginning of the year in suburbs of Damascus, in Hama and in Idlib. The main Western-backed opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, said it identified at least nine cases in recent months where the government used poison gas.
The most serious episode appears to have occurred in Kfar Zeita, a rebel-held village in Hama province some 125 miles north of Damascus.
Three activists and a medic gave similar accounts of how several bombs containing a chlorine-smelling gas were dropped on the village of some 20,000 people starting on 11 April, triggering severe coughing, muscle contractions and choking.
"It smelt like eggs, then after a while it became like chlorine," Muaz Abu Mahdi, a Kfar Zeita activist who filmed a falling bomb, said in a Skype interview. He said it killed a girl and an elderly man. He said he saw dozens of stricken people at a field hospital.
"They were lying on the ground of the clinic. Most of them had fainted. Others were shaking, and they couldn't flex their muscles. Others woke up dizzy. Others were coughing blood," Abu Mahdi said.
Adham Raadoun, a journalist working for a Syria-based opposition news network who lives on the edge of Kfar Zeita, said the bombs were dropped on residential areas. He said they released a yellowish smoke and smelled like chlorine cleanser.
Videos posted by activists showed rooms full of men, women and children who appeared to have serious breathing problems and were being fed oxygen by medics.
The videos corresponded with AP reporting on the incident in Kfar Zeita, although it could not be established what caused the symptoms.
Four activists near Damascus said Syrian forces had also used small amounts of poison gas in at least four incidents in clashes in rebel-held towns around the capital since December. Syria's government accused the al-Qa'ida rebel group Jabhat al-Nusra of releasing the chlorine gas in Kfar Zeita. But experts said Mr Assad's forces are more likely to be responsible, because of the reports of canisters dropped from helicopters. The rebels are not known to have military aircraft.
Michael Luhan, a spokesman for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, said the watchdog could not verify the claims without a formal request from a government entity. "So far, no state party has asked for an investigation," he said.

But we find the software professionals sandwiched between the never-ending deadlines and family needs. Getting two days leave for a family function is almost impossible. Children get detached from the parents and get their guidance from other sources, which may not be good. With a plastic card or cell phone around their necks, software professionals look like robots and behave like bonded labourers. Everyday their families wait for them until late night.

Saturday Night In The Parthenon - Poem by Kenneth Patchen
Tiny green birds skate over the surface of the room.
A naked girl prepares a basin with steaming water,
And in the corner away from the hearth, the red wheels
Of an up-ended chariot slowly turn.
After a long moment, the door to the other world opens
And the golden figure of a man appears. He stands
Ruddy as a salmon beside the niche where are kept
The keepsakes of the Prince of Earth; then sadly, drawing
A hammer out of his side, he advances to an oaken desk,
And being careful to strike in exact fury, pounds it to bits.
Another woman has by now taken her station
Beside the bubbling tub.
Her legs are covered with a silken blue fur,
Which in places above the knees
Grows to the thickness of a lion's mane.
The upper sphere of her chest
Is gathered into huge creases by two jeweled pins.
Transparent little boots reveal toes
Which an angel could want.
Beneath her on the floor a beautiful cinnamon cat
Plays with a bunch of yellow grapes, running
Its paws in and out like a boy being a silly king.
Her voice is round and white as she says:
'Your bath is ready, darling. Don't wait too long.'
But he has already drawn away to the window
And through its circular opening looks,
As a man into the pages of his death.
'Terrible horsemen are setting fire to the earth.
Houses are burning ... the people fly before
The red spears of a speckled madness . . .'
'Please, dear,' interrupts the original woman,
'We cannot help them ... Under the cancerous foot
Of their hatred, they were born to perish -
Like beasts in a well of spiders ...
Come now, sweet; the water will get cold.'
A little wagon pulled by foxes lowers from the ceiling.
Three men are seated on its cushions which breathe
Like purple breasts. The head of one is tipped
To the right, where on a bed of snails, a radiant child
Is crowing sleepily; the heads of the other two are turned
Upward, as though in contemplation
Of an authority which is not easily apprehended.
Yet they act as one, lifting the baby from its rosy perch,
And depositing it gently in the tub.
The water hisses over its scream ... a faint smell
Of horror floats up. Then the three withdraw
With their hapless burden, and the tinny bark
Of the foxes dies on the air.
'It hasn't grown cold yet,' the golden figure says,
And he strokes the belly of the second woman,
Running his hands over her fur like someone asleep.
They lie together under the shadow of a giant crab
Which polishes its thousand vises beside the fire.
Farther back, nearly obscured by kettles and chairs,
A second landscape can be seen; then a third, fourth,
Fifth ... until the whole, fluted like a rose,
And webbed in a miraculous workmanship,
Ascends unto the seven thrones
Where Tomorrow sits.
Slowly advancing down these shifting levels,
The white Queen of Heaven approaches.
Stars glitter in her hair. A tree grows
Out of her side, and gazing through the foliage
The eyes of the Beautiful gleam - 'Hurry, darling,'
The first woman calls. 'The water is getting cold.'
But he does not hear.
The hilt of the knife is carved like a scepter
And like a scepter gently sways
Above his mutilated throat ...
Smiling like a fashionable hat, the furry girl
Walks quickly to the tub, and throwing off
Her stained gown, eels into the water.
The other watches her sorrowfully; then,
Without haste, as one would strangle an owl,
She flicks the wheel of the chariot - around
Which the black world bends ...
without thrones or gates, without faith,
warmth or light for any of its creatures;
where even the children go mad - and
As though unwound on a scroll, the picture
Of Everyman's murder winks back at God.
Farther away now, nearly hidden by the human,
Another landscape can be seen ...
And the wan, smiling Queen of Heaven appears
For a moment on the balconies of my chosen sleep.

We're happy to present this story from our friends at Allure:
Sure, it's the summer — the time of year when most of us get a chance to escape on vacation or at least spend our weekends relaxing on the beach. But it's also the time of year for back-to-back weddings, long car trips, and one too many happy hour margaritas.
I might be speaking from personal experience here, but all those factors combined equal dark circles and serious bags. Here are the tricks, tips, and products I use to keep my eyes bright (and open) after a long night out.
Chill out. My favorite cooling eye gel is from Skyn Iceland. I lay the mini masks under my eyes the minute I get out of the shower and leave them on while I make my bed and get dressed. After about five minutes, all the puffiness is gone.
Get caffeinated. An eye cream that contains caffeine or vitamin K strengthens the blood vessels and reduces puffiness. I love Clinique All About Eyes.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. I am obsessed with Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye (and not just because the name sounds so soothing). The lightweight cream works to moisturize and depuff tired eyes while you sleep. I keep the tube right by my nightstand so I never forget to put it on.
Make friends with beige eye liner. Before applying your makeup, line the inside of your eyes with a beige pencil. It brightens the whites in a very natural-looking way. Try the Jouer Cosmetics Eye Clarifier.
