text: 1The following is a list of files and features that are going to be 2removed in the kernel source tree. Every entry should contain what 3exactly is going away, why it is happening, and who is going to be doing 4the work. When the feature is removed from the kernel, it should also 5be removed from this file. The suggested deprecation period is 3 releases. 6 7--------------------------- 8 9What: ddebug_query="query" boot cmdline param 10When: v3.8 11Why: obsoleted by dyndbg="query" and module.dyndbg="query" 12Who: Jim Cromie <firstname.lastname@example.com>, Jason Baron <email@example.com> 13 14--------------------------- 15 16What: CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE, and its ability to call APM BIOS in idle 17When: 2012 18Why: This optional sub-feature of APM is of dubious reliability, 19 and ancient APM laptops are likely better served by calling HLT. 20 Deleting CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE allows x86 to stop exporting 21 the pm_idle function pointer to modules. 22Who: Len Brown <email@example.com> 23 24---------------------------- 25 26What: x86_32 "no-hlt" cmdline param 27When: 2012 28Why: remove a branch from idle path, simplify code used by everybody. 29 This option disabled the use of HLT in idle and machine_halt() 30 for hardware that was flakey 15-years ago. Today we have 31 "idle=poll" that removed HLT from idle, and so if such a machine 32 is still running the upstream kernel, "idle=poll" is likely sufficient. 33Who: Len Brown <email@example.com> 34 35---------------------------- 36 37What: x86 "idle=mwait" cmdline param 38When: 2012 39Why: simplify x86 idle code 40Who: Len Brown <firstname.lastname@example.com> 41 42---------------------------- 43 44What: PRISM54 45When: 2.6.34 46 47Why: prism54 FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices used to be supported only by the 48 prism54 wireless driver. After Intersil stopped selling these 49 devices in preference for the newer more flexible SoftMAC devices 50 a SoftMAC device driver was required and prism54 did not support 51 them. The p54pci driver now exists and has been present in the kernel for 52 a while. This driver supports both SoftMAC devices and FullMAC devices. 53 The main difference between these devices was the amount of memory which 54 could be used for the firmware. The SoftMAC devices support a smaller 55 amount of memory. Because of this the SoftMAC firmware fits into FullMAC 56 devices's memory. p54pci supports not only PCI / Cardbus but also USB 57 and SPI. Since p54pci supports all devices prism54 supports 58 you will have a conflict. I'm not quite sure how distributions are 59 handling this conflict right now. prism54 was kept around due to 60 claims users may experience issues when using the SoftMAC driver. 61 Time has passed users have not reported issues. If you use prism54 62 and for whatever reason you cannot use p54pci please let us know! 63 E-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com 64 65 For more information see the p54 wiki page: 66 67 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/p54 68 69Who: Luis R. Rodriguez <email@example.com> 70 71--------------------------- 72 73What: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM 74Check: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM 75When: July 2009 76 77Why: Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy 78 sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every 79 input point to the kernel's entropy pool needs to better document the 80 type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with 81 additional add_*_randomness functions in drivers/char/random.c 82 83Who: Robin Getz <firstname.lastname@example.com> & Matt Mackall <email@example.com> 84 85--------------------------- 86 87What: The ieee80211_regdom module parameter 88When: March 2010 / desktop catchup 89 90Why: This was inherited by the CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY code, 91 and currently serves as an option for users to define an 92 ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 code for the country they are currently 93 present in. Although there are userspace API replacements for this 94 through nl80211 distributions haven't yet caught up with implementing 95 decent alternatives through standard GUIs. Although available as an 96 option through iw or wpa_supplicant its just a matter of time before 97 distributions pick up good GUI options for this. The ideal solution 98 would actually consist of intelligent designs which would do this for 99 the user automatically even when travelling through different countries. 100 Until then we leave this module parameter as a compromise. 101 102 When userspace improves with reasonable widely-available alternatives for 103 this we will no longer need this module parameter. This entry hopes that 104 by the super-futuristically looking date of "March 2010" we will have 105 such replacements widely available. 106 107Who: Luis R. Rodriguez <email@example.com> 108 109--------------------------- 110 111What: dev->power.power_state 112When: July 2007 113Why: Broken design for runtime control over driver power states, confusing 114 driver-internal runtime power management with: mechanisms to support 115 system-wide sleep state transitions; event codes that distinguish 116 different phases of swsusp "sleep" transitions; and userspace policy 117 inputs. This framework was never widely used, and most attempts to 118 use it were broken. Drivers should instead be exposing domain-specific 119 interfaces either to kernel or to userspace. 120Who: Pavel Machek <email@example.com> 121 122--------------------------- 123 124What: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj 125When: August 2012 126Why: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj allows userspace to influence the oom killer's 127 badness heuristic used to determine which task to kill when the kernel 128 is out of memory. 129 130 The badness heuristic has since been rewritten since the introduction of 131 this tunable such that its meaning is deprecated. The value was 132 implemented as a bitshift on a score generated by the badness() 133 function that did not have any precise units of measure. With the 134 rewrite, the score is given as a proportion of available memory to the 135 task allocating pages, so using a bitshift which grows the score 136 exponentially is, thus, impossible to tune with fine granularity. 137 138 A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was 139 introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or 140 decrease the badness score linearly. This interface will replace 141 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj. 142 143 A warning will be emitted to the kernel log if an application uses this 144 deprecated interface. After it is printed once, future warnings will be 145 suppressed until the kernel is rebooted. 146 147--------------------------- 148 149What: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_thread) 150When: August 2006 151Files: arch/*/kernel/*_ksyms.c 152Check: kernel_thread 153Why: kernel_thread is a low-level implementation detail. Drivers should 154 use the <linux/kthread.h> API instead which shields them from 155 implementation details and provides a higherlevel interface that 156 prevents bugs and code duplication 157Who: Christoph Hellwig <email@example.com> 158 159--------------------------- 160 161What: Unused EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL exports 162 (temporary transition config option provided until then) 163 The transition config option will also be removed at the same time. 164When: before 2.6.19 165Why: Unused symbols are both increasing the size of the kernel binary 166 and are often a sign of "wrong API" 167Who: Arjan van de Ven <email@example.com> 168 169--------------------------- 170 171What: PHYSDEVPATH, PHYSDEVBUS, PHYSDEVDRIVER in the uevent environment 172When: October 2008 173Why: The stacking of class devices makes these values misleading and 174 inconsistent. 175 Class devices should not carry any of these properties, and bus 176 devices have SUBSYTEM and DRIVER as a replacement. 177Who: Kay Sievers <firstname.lastname@example.com> 178 179--------------------------- 180 181What: ACPI procfs interface 182When: July 2008 183Why: ACPI sysfs conversion should be finished by January 2008. 184 ACPI procfs interface will be removed in July 2008 so that 185 there is enough time for the user space to catch up. 186Who: Zhang Rui <email@example.com> 187 188--------------------------- 189 190What: CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER 191When: 2.6.39 192Why: sysfs I/F for ACPI power devices, including AC and Battery, 193 has been working in upstream kernel since 2.6.24, Sep 2007. 194 In 2.6.37, we make the sysfs I/F always built in and this option 195 disabled by default. 196 Remove this option and the ACPI power procfs interface in 2.6.39. 197Who: Zhang Rui <firstname.lastname@example.com> 198 199--------------------------- 200 201What: /proc/acpi/event 202When: February 2008 203Why: /proc/acpi/event has been replaced by events via the input layer 204 and netlink since 2.6.23. 205Who: Len Brown <firstname.lastname@example.com> 206 207--------------------------- 208 209What: i386/x86_64 bzImage symlinks 210When: April 2010 211 212Why: The i386/x86_64 merge provides a symlink to the old bzImage 213 location so not yet updated user space tools, e.g. package 214 scripts, do not break. 215Who: Thomas Gleixner <email@example.com> 216 217--------------------------- 218 219What: GPIO autorequest on gpio_direction_{input,output}() in gpiolib 220When: February 2010 221Why: All callers should use explicit gpio_request()/gpio_free(). 222 The autorequest mechanism in gpiolib was provided mostly as a 223 migration aid for legacy GPIO interfaces (for SOC based GPIOs). 224 Those users have now largely migrated. Platforms implementing 225 the GPIO interfaces without using gpiolib will see no changes. 226Who: David Brownell <email@example.com> 227--------------------------- 228 229What: b43 support for firmware revision < 410 230When: The schedule was July 2008, but it was decided that we are going to keep the 231 code as long as there are no major maintanance headaches. 232 So it _could_ be removed _any_ time now, if it conflicts with something new. 233Why: The support code for the old firmware hurts code readability/maintainability 234 and slightly hurts runtime performance. Bugfixes for the old firmware 235 are not provided by Broadcom anymore. 236Who: Michael Buesch <firstname.lastname@example.com> 237 238--------------------------- 239 240What: Ability for non root users to shm_get hugetlb pages based on mlock 241 resource limits 242When: 2.6.31 243Why: Non root users need to be part of /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group or 244 have CAP_IPC_LOCK to be able to allocate shm segments backed by 245 huge pages. The mlock based rlimit check to allow shm hugetlb is 246 inconsistent with mmap based allocations. Hence it is being 247 deprecated. 248Who: Ravikiran Thirumalai <firstname.lastname@example.com> 249 250--------------------------- 251 252What: Code that is now under CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS 253 (in net/core/net-sysfs.c) 254When: 3.5 255Why: Over 1K .text/.data size reduction, data is available in other 256 ways (ioctls) 257Who: Johannes Berg <email@example.com> 258 259--------------------------- 260 261What: sysfs ui for changing p4-clockmod parameters 262When: September 2009 263Why: See commits 129f8ae9b1b5be94517da76009ea956e89104ce8 and 264 e088e4c9cdb618675874becb91b2fd581ee707e6. 265 Removal is subject to fixing any remaining bugs in ACPI which may 266 cause the thermal throttling not to happen at the right time. 267Who: Dave Jones <email@example.com>, Matthew Garrett <firstname.lastname@example.com> 268 269----------------------------- 270 271What: fakephp and associated sysfs files in /sys/bus/pci/slots/ 272When: 2011 273Why: In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to 274 represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics 275 had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed 276 drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required 277 for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's 278 tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that 279 there were some users of the fakephp interface. 280 281 In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same 282 time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely 283 function-level hot-remove and hot-add. 284 285 Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in: 286 287 /sys/bus/pci/rescan 288 /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove 289 /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan 290 291 there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well. 292 293 We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will 294 present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility, 295 but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above. 296 297 After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy 298 fakephp interface. 299Who: Alex Chiang <email@example.com> 300 301--------------------------- 302 303What: CONFIG_RFKILL_INPUT 304When: 2.6.33 305Why: Should be implemented in userspace, policy daemon. 306Who: Johannes Berg <firstname.lastname@example.com> 307 308---------------------------- 309 310What: sound-slot/service-* module aliases and related clutters in 311 sound/sound_core.c 312When: August 2010 313Why: OSS sound_core grabs all legacy minors (0-255) of SOUND_MAJOR 314 (14) and requests modules using custom sound-slot/service-* 315 module aliases. The only benefit of doing this is allowing 316 use of custom module aliases which might as well be considered 317 a bug at this point. This preemptive claiming prevents 318 alternative OSS implementations. 319 320 Till the feature is removed, the kernel will be requesting 321 both sound-slot/service-* and the standard char-major-* module 322 aliases and allow turning off the pre-claiming selectively via 323 CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and soundcore.preclaim_oss 324 kernel parameter. 325 326 After the transition phase is complete, both the custom module 327 aliases and switches to disable it will go away. This removal 328 will also allow making ALSA OSS emulation independent of 329 sound_core. The dependency will be broken then too. 330Who: Tejun Heo <firstname.lastname@example.com> 331 332---------------------------- 333 334What: sysfs-class-rfkill state file 335When: Feb 2014 336Files: net/rfkill/core.c 337Why: Documented as obsolete since Feb 2010. This file is limited to 3 338 states while the rfkill drivers can have 4 states. 339Who: anybody or Florian Mickler <email@example.com> 340 341---------------------------- 342 343What: sysfs-class-rfkill claim file 344When: Feb 2012 345Files: net/rfkill/core.c 346Why: It is not possible to claim an rfkill driver since 2007. This is 347 Documented as obsolete since Feb 2010. 348Who: anybody or Florian Mickler <firstname.lastname@example.com> 349 350---------------------------- 351 352What: iwlwifi 50XX module parameters 353When: 3.0 354Why: The "..50" modules parameters were used to configure 5000 series and 355 up devices; different set of module parameters also available for 4965 356 with same functionalities. Consolidate both set into single place 357 in drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn.c 358 359Who: Wey-Yi Guy <email@example.com> 360 361---------------------------- 362 363What: iwl4965 alias support 364When: 3.0 365Why: Internal alias support has been present in module-init-tools for some 366 time, the MODULE_ALIAS("iwl4965") boilerplate aliases can be removed 367 with no impact. 368 369Who: Wey-Yi Guy <firstname.lastname@example.com> 370 371--------------------------- 372 373What: xt_NOTRACK 374Files: net/netfilter/xt_NOTRACK.c 375When: April 2011 376Why: Superseded by xt_CT 377Who: Netfilter developer team <email@example.com> 378 379---------------------------- 380 381What: IRQF_DISABLED 382When: 2.6.36 383Why: The flag is a NOOP as we run interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled 384Who: Thomas Gleixner <email@example.com> 385 386---------------------------- 387 388What: PCI DMA unmap state API 389When: August 2012 390Why: PCI DMA unmap state API (include/linux/pci-dma.h) was replaced 391 with DMA unmap state API (DMA unmap state API can be used for 392 any bus). 393Who: FUJITA Tomonori <email@example.com> 394 395---------------------------- 396 397What: iwlwifi disable_hw_scan module parameters 398When: 3.0 399Why: Hareware scan is the prefer method for iwlwifi devices for 400 scanning operation. Remove software scan support for all the 401 iwlwifi devices. 402 403Who: Wey-Yi Guy <firstname.lastname@example.com> 404 405---------------------------- 406 407What: Legacy, non-standard chassis intrusion detection interface. 408When: June 2011 409Why: The adm9240, w83792d and w83793 hardware monitoring drivers have 410 legacy interfaces for chassis intrusion detection. A standard 411 interface has been added to each driver, so the legacy interface 412 can be removed. 413Who: Jean Delvare <email@example.com> 414 415---------------------------- 416 417What: xt_connlimit rev 0 418When: 2012 419Who: Jan Engelhardt <firstname.lastname@example.com> 420Files: net/netfilter/xt_connlimit.c 421 422---------------------------- 423 424What: ipt_addrtype match include file 425When: 2012 426Why: superseded by xt_addrtype 427Who: Florian Westphal <email@example.com> 428Files: include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_addrtype.h 429 430---------------------------- 431 432What: i2c_driver.attach_adapter 433 i2c_driver.detach_adapter 434When: September 2011 435Why: These legacy callbacks should no longer be used as i2c-core offers 436 a variety of preferable alternative ways to instantiate I2C devices. 437Who: Jean Delvare <email@example.com> 438 439---------------------------- 440 441What: Opening a radio device node will no longer automatically switch the 442 tuner mode from tv to radio. 443When: 3.3 444Why: Just opening a V4L device should not change the state of the hardware 445 like that. It's very unexpected and against the V4L spec. Instead, you 446 switch to radio mode by calling VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY. This is the second 447 and last step of the move to consistent handling of tv and radio tuners. 448Who: Hans Verkuil <firstname.lastname@example.com> 449 450---------------------------- 451 452What: g_file_storage driver 453When: 3.8 454Why: This driver has been superseded by g_mass_storage. 455Who: Alan Stern <firstname.lastname@example.com> 456 457---------------------------- 458 459What: threeg and interface sysfs files in /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi 460When: 2012 461Why: In 3.0, we can now autodetect internal 3G device and already have 462 the threeg rfkill device. So, we plan to remove threeg sysfs support 463 for it's no longer necessary. 464 465 We also plan to remove interface sysfs file that exposed which ACPI-WMI 466 interface that was used by acer-wmi driver. It will replaced by 467 information log when acer-wmi initial. 468Who: Lee, Chun-Yi <firstname.lastname@example.com> 469 470--------------------------- 471 472What: /sys/devices/platform/_UDC_/udc/_UDC_/is_dualspeed file and 473 is_dualspeed line in /sys/devices/platform/ci13xxx_*/udc/device file. 474When: 3.8 475Why: The is_dualspeed file is superseded by maximum_speed in the same 476 directory and is_dualspeed line in device file is superseded by 477 max_speed line in the same file. 478 479 The maximum_speed/max_speed specifies maximum speed supported by UDC. 480 To check if dualspeeed is supported, check if the value is >= 3. 481 Various possible speeds are defined in <linux/usb/ch9.h>. 482Who: Michal Nazarewicz <firstname.lastname@example.com> 483 484---------------------------- 485 486What: The XFS nodelaylog mount option 487When: 3.3 488Why: The delaylog mode that has been the default since 2.6.39 has proven 489 stable, and the old code is in the way of additional improvements in 490 the log code. 491Who: Christoph Hellwig <firstname.lastname@example.com> 492 493---------------------------- 494 495What: iwlagn alias support 496When: 3.5 497Why: The iwlagn module has been renamed iwlwifi. The alias will be around 498 for backward compatibility for several cycles and then dropped. 499Who: Don Fry <firstname.lastname@example.com> 500 501---------------------------- 502 503What: pci_scan_bus_parented() 504When: 3.5 505Why: The pci_scan_bus_parented() interface creates a new root bus. The 506 bus is created with default resources (ioport_resource and 507 iomem_resource) that are always wrong, so we rely on arch code to 508 correct them later. Callers of pci_scan_bus_parented() should 509 convert to using pci_scan_root_bus() so they can supply a list of 510 bus resources when the bus is created. 511Who: Bjorn Helgaas <firstname.lastname@example.com> 512 513---------------------------- 514 515What: Low Performance USB Block driver ("CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB") 516When: 3.6 517Why: This driver provides support for USB storage devices like "USB 518 sticks". As of now, it is deactivated in Debian, Fedora and 519 Ubuntu. All current users can switch over to usb-storage 520 (CONFIG_USB_STORAGE) which only drawback is the additional SCSI 521 stack. 522Who: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <email@example.com> 523 524---------------------------- 525 526What: kmap_atomic(page, km_type) 527When: 3.5 528Why: The old kmap_atomic() with two arguments is deprecated, we only 529 keep it for backward compatibility for few cycles and then drop it. 530Who: Cong Wang <firstname.lastname@example.com> 531 532---------------------------- 533 534What: get_robust_list syscall 535When: 2013 536Why: There appear to be no production users of the get_robust_list syscall, 537 and it runs the risk of leaking address locations, allowing the bypass 538 of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be 539 removed. 540Who: Kees Cook <email@example.com> 541 542---------------------------- 543 544What: Removing the pn544 raw driver. 545When: 3.6 546Why: With the introduction of the NFC HCI and SHDL kernel layers, pn544.c 547 is being replaced by pn544_hci.c which is accessible through the netlink 548 and socket NFC APIs. Moreover, pn544.c is outdated and does not seem to 549 work properly with the latest Android stacks. 550 Having 2 drivers for the same hardware is confusing and as such we 551 should only keep the one following the kernel NFC APIs. 552Who: Samuel Ortiz <email@example.com> 553 554---------------------------- 555 556What: setitimer accepts user NULL pointer (value) 557When: 3.6 558Why: setitimer is not returning -EFAULT if user pointer is NULL. This 559 violates the spec. 560Who: Sasikantha Babu <firstname.lastname@example.com> 561 562---------------------------- 563 564What: remove bogus DV presets V4L2_DV_1080I29_97, V4L2_DV_1080I30 and 565 V4L2_DV_1080I25 566When: 3.6 567Why: These HDTV formats do not exist and were added by a confused mind 568 (that was me, to be precise...) 569Who: Hans Verkuil <firstname.lastname@example.com> 570 571---------------------------- 572 573What: V4L2_CID_HCENTER, V4L2_CID_VCENTER V4L2 controls 574When: 3.7 575Why: The V4L2_CID_VCENTER, V4L2_CID_HCENTER controls have been deprecated 576 for about 4 years and they are not used by any mainline driver. 577 There are newer controls (V4L2_CID_PAN*, V4L2_CID_TILT*) that provide 578 similar functionality. 579Who: Sylwester Nawrocki <email@example.com> 580 581---------------------------- 582 583What: cgroup option updates via remount 584When: March 2013 585Why: Remount currently allows changing bound subsystems and 586 release_agent. Rebinding is hardly useful as it only works 587 when the hierarchy is empty and release_agent itself should be 588 replaced with conventional fsnotify. 589 590---------------------------- 591 592What: KVM debugfs statistics 593When: 2013 594Why: KVM tracepoints provide mostly equivalent information in a much more 595 flexible fashion. 596 597---------------------------- 598 599What: at91-mci driver ("CONFIG_MMC_AT91") 600When: 3.7 601Why: There are two mci drivers: at91-mci and atmel-mci. The PDC support 602 was added to atmel-mci as a first step to support more chips. 603 Then at91-mci was kept only for old IP versions (on at91rm9200 and 604 at91sam9261). The support of these IP versions has just been added 605 to atmel-mci, so atmel-mci can be used for all chips. 606Who: Ludovic Desroches <email@example.com> 607 608---------------------------- 609 610What: net/wanrouter/ 611When: June 2013 612Why: Unsupported/unmaintained/unused since 2.6 613 614---------------------------- 615

Osborne scraps automatic pay raises for Britain's civil servants
AUTOMATIC annual pay rises given to many British civil servants, the equivalent of increments here, are being scrapped under a spending cuts package outlined by UK Chancellor George Osborne.
Progression pay will be removed for civil servants by the end of 2016 while automatic pay rises for time-served teachers, workers in the National Health Service, prisons and the police are also being binned.
The armed forces will be excluded. Pay rises will be limited to an average of 1pc up to 2016.
In a wide-ranging speech to parliament, Mr Osborne said the biggest reform will be to end pay increases in the civil service regardless of performance, claiming some public sector employees see annual pay rises of 7pc.
"The biggest reform we make on pay is to automatic progression pay," Mr Osborne said.
"This is the practice whereby many employees not only get a pay rise every year, but also automatically move up a pay grade every single year – regardless of performance.
"Progression pay can at best be described as antiquated; at worst, it's deeply unfair to other parts of the public sector who don't get it and to the private sector who have to pay for it."
Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will also have to find 2pc savings with the bloc grant to the North set at £9.6bn (€11.3bn).
The latest spending round is to deliver savings to the UK economy of £11.5bn.
It extends the deepest austerity programme in British peacetime history into a sixth year.
Weaker-than-expected economic growth and lower-than-forecast tax receipts have led to the extension of budget cuts until 2017-18.
Key measures include:
* Borrowing for the year set to be £108bn. Total government spending will be £745bn for 2015/2016.
* Council tax will be frozen for the next two years.
* National Health Service will have a £110bn budget with capital spending to rise to £4.7bn.
* Spending on schools will be ring-fenced as has spending in the Department of Health.l
* Justice ministry has to find savings of 10pc, Department of Transport faces 9pc cuts, Department of Energy and Climate faces 8pc cut.
* Welfare savings of £4bn introduced including a cap. But the state pension will not be touched.
Mr Osborne said the country needs to continue to make savings.

Hong Kong not ready to turn pro, says Habib
Coach Aftab Habib believes Hong Kong is not ready to go professional, but has asked the ACC Trophy-bound squad to deliver the goods and make a case for themselves if they harboured hopes of getting paid to play one day.
Local cricket got a shot in the arm when it was announced that the International Cricket Council will raise the ante and provide more money for the 34 associate members annually. Hong Kong can get almost US$350,000 annually from the ICC.
But while welcoming the news that the ICC had a US$300 million pie which they would use over the next seven years for the development of the game worldwide, Habib said Hong Kong was not ready to go professional.
'The players should play for pride and the honour to represent Hong Kong. But if they do really well, like winning this tournament, then perhaps they should deserve a little bit of money,' said Habib (pictured) yesterday.
A 14-strong squad captained by Tabarak Dar, will leave for Kuala Lumpur today to take part in the 10-team ACC Trophy. Hong Kong will play three warm-up matches before the July 25 to August 3 tournament gets underway.
'To be professional, we must have the facilities. Unfortunately Hong Kong is not like the UAE or Malaysia where there are enough turf wickets and grounds,' Habib said.
'You have to be realistic about turning professional with our shortage of grounds.'
'My role here is to coach. It is up to the HKCA to decide how the money should be spent. But I believe our first priority should be to get more facilities,' he added.
There has been talk in the players' circle that they deserve a slice of the ICC funds. 'We sacrifice a lot in terms of taking time off work and while we are proud to play for Hong Kong, it would be nice to get some compensation from the association. Now that they have the money, it would be good if we were to get a little bit,' said one player who wished to remain anonymous.
HKCA secretary John Cribbin said the executive committee would meet next week to decide on how the extra funds should be put to use.
Habib said the team should 'do its talking on the pitch'. He said: 'They have got an opportunity to go out and do well. It must be all about pride and the honour to play for Hong Kong.
'The guys need to realise this. Most cricketers the world over never get the chance to represent their country at all.'
Hong Kong will play two warm-up matches against the Malaysian national team and one against a club side before their first game in the ACC Trophy against Nepal next Friday.
'The warm-up games are crucial as we have not had much match practice due to the weather,' Habib said. 'It is going to be tough as there are no walkover teams in the tournament. But I have a good feeling and if we play smart cricket, there is no reason why we cannot win the ACC Trophy.'

Pop Culture Hijabi: The Hobbit
We absolutely love the movies and it has been rough lately with barely anything to see that we personally feel is worth our time.
Recently though, we headed to go see The Hobbit.
What we love is that this movie contains some amazing film-making, in addition to a great story.
And there is no random sleaze as with much of the movies today.
You will not be disappointed. Or at least we weren't.
Sure there are people who get so wrapped up in whether this movie followed the book exactly or not, but we're not reviewing it like that.
This is a great quality film, with amazing cinematography as well as impeccable acting.
There is a moral to the story (even though this is supposed to have two more parts) and it's what we feel like a real movie is all about: escaping into an imaginary world and feeling like you're really there.
This article has 3 comments
I thoroughly enjoyed The Hobbit and the music was amazing! I listen to 'The Lonely Mountain' song whenever I can as it's so soothing. I am a great LOTR fan as well and I'm looking forward to the other parts to The Hobbit greatly! Good quality film! I'd actually consider going to the theater again to watch it and I don't usually do that ever! lol

Now's big bow meant a single week at Number One for Ashlee Simpson's Autobiography, which slipped to Number Two with sales of 270,000. One spot lower was Taking Back Sunday, who have built a remarkable grassroots audience. The group's second album, Where You Want to Be, sold a hearty 163,000 copies.
Two other newcomers found their way into the Top Ten: Rap troupe Terror Squad's True Story sold 97,000 copies at Number Seven, while R&B singer Kevin Lyttle sold 84,000 copies of his self-titled debut one peg lower. Pearl Jam's Live at Benaroya Hall also made a strong first-week showing, selling 52,000 copies at Number Eighteen.
Without a blockbuster release entering stores this week, look for next week's chart to primarily be a holding pattern.

text: Amsterdam – Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands is to receive outgoing Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and several other government officials on Monday in the wake of this weekend's cabinet collapse.The queen's participation is required for the transition between governments.The meeting comes two days after Balkenende's government collapsed when the Labour Party refused to back fellow coalition members in supporting the extension of the Dutch military presence in Afghanistan, currently due to end in August.For the government to be dissolved, the queen must officially accept its resignation, fix an election date, and appoint an interim government.Following the meeting with the outgoing Prime Minister that is due to start at 08:30 GMT, the queen is also scheduled to receive outgoing Deputy Prime Ministers Wouter Bos (Labour) and Andre Rouvoet (Christian Union).Further meetingsFinally, she is to meet with the chairpersons of the lower and the upper houses of parliament, and with the vice-president of the Raad van State, or State Council, the highest advisory organ to the government.All meetings are due to continue until the late afternoon.The deputy ministers of the Christian Democrats and the Christian Union are widely expected to take over the Labour ministries until the elections, which will probably be held in May or June.The Netherlands currently has some 1 880 troops in Afghanistan, of which around 1 250 are stationed in the central province of Uruzghan. The mission began in 2006, was extended in 2008, and is due to end this August.Outgoing governments cannot make high-impact decisions such as extending the mission's mandate. The date for the repatriation of the Dutch troops will therefore stand as scheduled, until and unless a new government is elected and decides otherwise in time.NATO sent a request on February 4 to the Dutch government asking for an extension of their military contribution in Afghanistan.

Breaking Down the Best First-Round Fits for LB Manti Te'oApril 3, 2013
The draft stock for Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o appears to be leveling out near the end of the first round.
According to ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper, there remains "no way" that Te'o reaches the last pick in the first round, which is currently held by the Baltimore Ravens. Kiper gave that opinion to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun during a conference call Wednesday.
Kiper believes the Ravens will eventually snag an inside linebacker in the first three rounds of the 2013 NFL draft, but the presence of teams such as the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants and Chicago Bears present barriers to Baltimore having the ability to take Te'o.
Kiper isn't the only one with that opinion.
ESPN's Adam Schefter has maintained throughout the draft process that Te'o will be selected in the first round, even after he posted disappointing 40-times at the NFL combine in Indianapolis in late February.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Manti Te'o does not make out of the first round.2013-2-27 15:55:06
Late last month, Schefter said on NFL Live (via Rotoworld) that "most people around the league don't believe he will get out of the first round of the draft," and "midway through the first round" is a good starting point for where Te'o could come off the board.
Kiper, a respected draft analyst, and Schefter, a respected NFL insider, appear to be on the same page with Te'o. Where there's this much smoke, there's usually fire, and that should be the case for Te'o.
So which teams make the most sense for Te'o in the first round?
Here's a breakdown of his best fits:
Minnesota Vikings
Two first-round picks (No. 23 and 25) and an obvious need at inside linebacker should make the Vikings one of the favorites to select Te'o.
Minnesota lost starter Jasper Brinkley in free agency, but he likely needed to be replaced inside regardless. Pro Football Focus (subscription required) ranked Brinkley as their No. 50 overall inside linebacker last season.
A recent trend of obtaining Notre Dame players (Harrison Smith, Kyle Rudolph, Robert Blanton, John Sullivan, John Carlson) also increases the likelihood of Te'o landing in the Twin Cities.
If there's a first-round favorite for Te'o, it's likely the Vikings. He'd be an instant starter on an improving defense.
New York Giants
The Giants have a gaping hole at middle linebacker, especially after Chase Blackburn—last season's starter—bolted New York for Carolina in free agency.
Mark Herzlich would next in line, but there is reason enough to worry if he can handle the starting job on a team that still has Super Bowl aspirations. In the two games Herzlich started last season, Pro Football Focus (subscription required) gave him negative grades.
The Giants pick at No. 19, so they'll likely be the first to have a legitimate decision to make on Te'o.
He'd be a plug-and-play starter at middle linebacker in New York, but general manager Jerry Reese has tended to wait until the middle to late rounds to look at the linebacker position. If there's ever been a year to buck that trend, it might be 2013, when several top middle linebackers could be available for the Giants, including Te'o.
Chicago Bears
A new era has begun in Chicago, where eventual Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher is a free agent, and former Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams has been signed to replace him. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Williams was selected to fill the hole Urlacher left as the starter inside.
Does that reality rule out Te'o as a possibility for the Bears at No. 20? Probably.
D. Orlando Ledbetter @DOrlandoAJC
#ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper believes that Notre Dame LB Manti Te'o will be drafted by the Chicago Bears.2013-4-3 15:22:21
But signing a 30-year-old linebacker who played just seven games in 2012 shouldn't be considered an end-all to the Bears' problems inside, and Te'o would provide Chicago with much needed long-term security at the position.
While not the athlete Urlacher was coming out of college, Te'o does have the same kind of natural instincts that made Urlacher into one of the game's best defenders. Maybe the fit is too good to happen, especially with Williams now in Chicago.
Baltimore Ravens
Speaking of replacing defensive legends, the Ravens have one of the more gaping holes at inside linebacker after the retirement of eventual Hall of Famer Ray Lewis. But losing Lewis wasn't the Ravens' only departure inside, as Dannell Ellerbe left town for big bucks in Miami this offseason.
Now, the Ravens must look to the draft to fill the holes.
Kiper doesn't believe Te'o will get to No. 32, and that's a reasonable enough assessment given the needs of teams in front of them.
If Te'o does, however, the Ravens might have a difficult time passing on him. He's the same kind of thumper inside that Lewis was for so many years, and you'd have to believe that landing in a Super Bowl locker room would help smooth out any of the off-the-field question marks Te'o has.
Four teams in the mid-to-late first round have needs at inside linebacker, and Te'o appears to be a quality fit for each. Te'o might not be a perfect first-round prospect, but the idea of him landing in the first 32 picks certainly isn't as crazy as some might think.

Hi guys. I need some help with I guess a relatively simple question. Could someone please show me with workings the following ?
If the modulus of z+(1/z)=2. What is z?
Hey Yeah01.
Hint: Can you calculate an expression for the modulus in terms of x and y (for x + iy) or in terms of r and theta (polar co-ordinates)?
(In other words, if you have z + 1/z, what is the modulus in terms of x and y if z = x + iy)?
I taught complex variables on and off for over thirty years. But I have never seen a more difficult problem in this category of problems than this one is.
Clearly are solutions simply by inspection.
But how one gets the other eight solution remains a puzzle to me.
There may well be a very clever trick that I have not thought of.
I believe the most intuitive way to do this is to look at the pre image of the Joukovski's transformation . This is a conformal map, and there are some nice ways you can deal with this. I also believe it can be cranked out algebraically in an acceptably nice way. I'm working on that now.
Let . Then the condition in the question is equivalent to saying . If , you'll recover the trivial answers
Exercise: If and , show that is or . That is, is purely imaginary.
HINT: Writing , you should find that
Fun facts: and
Hence for some real number a, with some restrictions on .
Now you need some bounds on since you had the restriction ,
I didn't have time to finish calculating the bounds, but note that and gives the easier solutions in Plato's wolfram alpha link. It comes out by solving .
Good luck with that. I'll work on the bounds later if I have time.

WELSHPOOL secured a 33-19 victory at home to Flint in division three east of the North Wales League.
In the only match in the division of the weekend, the hosts led when full-back Gareth Jones went over for a try, converted by the returning Andrew Thomas.
Despite spurning two penalty attempts the Deesiders replied when Mitch Martin's try was converted by Sam Parry.
Pool regained their composure and restored their advantage as Ryan Goodwin crossed the whitewash with Thomas converting the extras.
However the hosts failed to make the most of their dominance with a second try from Martin, converted by Parry, levelling the contest by half-time.
Welshpool turned the screw after the break with tries from Paul Davies, Harry Trow and captain Joe Stranks converted by Thomas ensuring a late response from Flint proved to be a meagre consolation.
Elsewhere Machynlleth's trip to Rhos was postponed.
Meanwhile Llanidloes went down 36-14 at Dolgellau in division two.
Henri Roberts starred for the hosts, crossing for a hat-trick of tries as Dolgellau maintained their promotion bid.
The hosts led through Gerwyn Pugh's breakaway try, converted by Roberts who would also convert their second try after Dylan Evans powered over.
Dolgellau extended their lead yet further when wing Danny Evans added a third try before Roberts crossed for his first try, which he converted, to establish a commanding 26 point interval lead.
Roberts added his second of the day early in the second-half before Llanidloes reduced the arrears when full-back Dafydd Duggan went over for a try, converted by Adam Price.
Roberts completed his hat-trick and a personal haul of 21 points with Dolgellau's final try before Llanidloes consoled themselves with a try from Gareth Anwyl, converted by Price, for the final say.

I was out adventuring in the cage today in the snowy weather and was thinking about places of interest and other "not to be missed". I got a few ideas to share. From Klipchuck CG to Sedro-Wooley is about 110 miles or 2.5 hours. Of course there are several spots on this route that are a "must see." If a lunch stop was planned for Burlington, "Train Wreck is awesome" http://www.trainwreckbar.com/our-menus/. One possible destination, that is amazing, is "Artist Point" at the end of WA-542, http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Northwest/Baker/ArtistPoint. Along this road is an amazing waterfall as well, https://www.waterfallsnorthwest.com/...ack-Falls-4486. Only problem is, this is a dead end road. Have to back-track to at least highway 9,(great motorcycle road). Just throwing out some more ideas.
The falls are great. The Artist point would be quite a ride from the camp ground to Artist Point and back. That would be a full day's excursion, for sure.
Just from where I live, when I am in the North Cascades NP, I am always heading east on excursions. Heading to Omak and maybe even up to Osoyoos.
Meet and greets are great when there are lots of options. And the North Cascades offers lots of options.
That area is great and I would love to take some time up there....but I have a cb750 waiting in NH that needs a total restoration, planning to be headed east by May, Lord willing. Plans may change depending on funds.
I was up in that area in early Nov 1977 on my first cross country trip with a buddy in his 64 chevy pu, we camped the whole trip of 2 months, NH to San Diego. Once we left Olympic PN we drove down the coastline to San Diego. Wished I'd had my bike that whole trip. Washington is a great state for riding and camping for sure.

If you haven't already, please checkout the Dell-VMware NSX Reference Architecture (RA) whitepaper. In the reference architecture I explain in detail the foundational NSX-vSphere components and also how Dell can provide a complete end-to-end infrastructure (servers, networking, storage) to support a robust SDN solution with NSX. In this blog, I will provide a quick overview, some insight on NSX, and examples of VMware NSX deployment with a complete end-to-end Dell infrastructure. (more…)

Using Dell EqualLogic iSCSI Arrays for Remote StorageMonday, September 17th, 2012
Dell EqualLogic storage can provide an easy and cost effective solution for adding remote storage to your virtualized environment. The PS Series Storage arrays can be a great solution as you can easily expand storage by combining multiple PS Series storage arrays into a single storage area network (SAN). For instance, the PS6100XS is a 2U chassis which provides 13TB of storage using 2.5" disks (7 hot-pluggable solid state disk (SSD) drives and 17 hot-pluggable serial attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives).

I just finished going through chapter 2. I really like the way you create something pretty sophisticated and useful as the initial project. This shows the power of using the built in objects. Here are a couple of thoughts I had:
- maybe a footnote on what the blue lines in IB are - i.e. HIG reference
- note more strongly that using built in views/classes helps a lot, how much code and work would it be to create your own web view
- seems like using the built in stuff gets you 90% of the way to your app, but Mac OS X apps polish that last 10% and it will take 90% of your time
- I had been working on other apps and iPhone stuff before I created this project, so when I added the webkit framework I wasn't in the right starting folder, perhaps a full path to this framework?
- maybe a footnote on why debug apps don't run on other computers?
- if it is possible to edit the nib of Mail and save it, perhaps a caution not to since that could mess up the application, i.e. you are editing the real live nib file used by the application
Just my 2 cents. Bill

While checking out the official Nobel Prize web site to see when the prizes will be announced, I was surprised to discover that the Nobel Foundation offers little Flash games on their web site. In particular, I had to check out the Laser Challenge site.
Oh. My. God. Maybe it's just the cold talking, but that has a surreal brilliance to it. It's basically a sub-Mario walk-and-jump game where your job is to gather supplies for an "Amazing Laser Party" in honor of "Dr. Photon" inventing the "super-laser." You pick up little CD's (representing music for the party) and bananas (representing snacks) and try to avoid skateboarders (who steal your CD's) and little crab-like critters (who eat the food), and occasionally answer trivia questions about lasers. All narrated in just-slightly-off English, in case you forgot that Scandanavia is part of Europe.
Definitely check that out. It's hilarious.
There are a whole bunch of different games, too– they're also pushing an immune system game on the front page, but they've got lots of others. And hey, they're offcially approved by the Nobel Foundation, so they must be good…

Average film fans don't know actor Jeremy Renner very well yet…
Even though he was nominated for best actor in the hit movie HURT LOCKER, nobody much saw him as the next new Hollywood god. Well, somebody sure noticed because Renner followed with smash hit THE TOWN with Ben Affleck and now he's becoming the man in Hollywood.
Just over a year ago I had lunch at Warners/Malpaso with Rob Lorenz, the director who has agreed to do KING OF STING. Just after that meeting Rob did TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE starring Clint Eastwood (out this September).
Rob and I kicked around actors names for the two lead roles in KOS that Eric Eisner and I will produce and Rob mentioned Renner at that time. I had just seen the TOWN and loved it, but I thought Renner was too small for the role of Don Woodbeck, my older partner in the stings. Then Rob pointed out that Jeremy was about to be crowned king of Hollywood's biggest films.
He was right.
I'd had my eye on the co-star of The TOWN, Jon Hamm for the role of Woodbeck.
Today Renner is the only A List superstar in the Hollywood tradition.
He's the new lead in the Mission Impossible movies replacing Tom Cruise (age 50). He's taking over the BOURNE series from Matt Damon, who oddly is the same age as Renner (41). He's even one of The AVENGERS.
My God, Renner's got it all.
Finally we have a new star replacing Cruise and Brad Pitt.
Cruise and Pitt replaced Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood who had replaced Paul Newman and Steve McQueen.
With so many bad movies and too many TENT POLE (big budget movies with no real plot or acting needed) the day of the movie star has been fading. Sure we've had some nice stars like Jason Stratham, Chris Pine and of course superstars Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp. But nobody really quite had the star power of Cruise or Pitt – not quite.
And there really are no superstar female actors now.
What that really means is their name on the marquee equals big time butts in seats. In some movies Angelina Jolie is that female star, but for action movies only. Leo and Depp are huge stars, but it also depends on the movie type. Stars like Newman and McQueen meant box office gold for almost any picture they had their names on.
Leo in HOOVER or Depp in several oddball movies couldn't draw on just their stardom.
Now Hollywood says Jeremy Renner is the MAN and it sure looks that way so far.
Hey Jeremy, if we get KING OF STING going after Lorenz next picture, well you get it. I'm glad to see Hollywood isn't quite dead yet.
And yes, I am aware that Cruise, Pitt, Pine, Depp and crew will continue to do quite well. But Renner is the new HUGE thing that's been missing for like a decade.

Apparently, April 7th is national coffee cake day. I coincidentally made a spur of the moment coffee cake last Saturday, so we actually had coffee cake in the house on "national coffee cake day". What I want to know is, who comes up with these days? I never know that they're happening until they're almost over. National doughnut day, cupcake day. coffee cake day … I don't know why all these foods need days. Here's another question: Donut or doughnut? I prefer doughnut, but I guess it's a po-tay-to po-tah-to thing. I'm getting way off track here…
What I love about this coffee cake is that it is completely customizable. If necessary, easy substitutions can be made to make your coffee cake completely nut-free. Swap out the almond flour crumb for ground seeds, and replace the almond butter with tahini. Making this recipe fit your needs is that easy. And the cake can also be customized to fit your taste buds. I say pumpkin is great any season, but maybe you prefer to save it for the fall. Substitute the pumpkin for banana, sweet potato or squash and add in chopped nuts, chocolate chips or raisins for a completely new coffee cake flavor each time!
The cake itself is made with coconut flour and sweetened with 100% fruit. The center is perfectly soft, spongy and moist. As always, the best part of any coffee cake is the crumbly cinnamon streusel topping. The pumpkin coffee cake crumb topping is made dairy free by combining almond flour, coconut sugar and cinnamon will organic palm shortening. If you love and miss traditional coffee cake, you will not be disappointed.
- 6 Tablespoons coconut flour
- ½ Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 Teaspoon baking soda
- ½ Teaspoon baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon sea salt
- 6 eggs
- 1 Cup pumpkin puree
- ½ Cup dates
- ½ Cup almond butter
- ¼ Cup coconut oil
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ Cup almond flour
- ½ Cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons organic palm shortening (I recommend spectrum brand)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the cake.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the pumpkin puree.
- Combine the dates, almond butter and coconut oil in a high speed blender or food processor and process until smooth.
- Whisk the date mixture into the wet ingredients, and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet.
- Evenly spread the batter into a well greased 9x13 baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients. Don't be afraid to use your hands and get a little messy.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over batter, and press lightly to secure.
- Bake 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

"But of the lads who played on Saturday, Jeremie Aliadiere looked really good, Yak put himself about and did well and Dong-Gook Lee came on and made a contribution.

Past Reviews
Off Broadway Reviews
A plethora of red, white, and blue pom-poms. A lengthy tap specialty. Extravagant dance and movement routines that might have been lifted straight out of Las Vegas acts. And all of this in a musical about the Jonestown massacre? By the time the song "Don't Mess With The USA" comes around in Jonestown: The Musical, you've long ceased to be surprised by anything.
The performer leading the song, Robert Creighton, is one of the few true joys of this ferociously bipolar Fringe Festival offering. Playing Congressman Leo Ryan, who went to investigate Jim Jones's cultish Guyana settlement in 1978 and did not return alive, Creighton brings bushels of Golden Age show-biz appeal to his portrayal, throwing off an endless series of corny self-referential jokes, goofy songs, and parodic dance steps with the same conviction he brought to Funny Girl's Eddie Ryan and Guys and Dolls's Nicely-Nicely Johnson, both at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse.
But the infectious energy of Creighton's work won't stop you from wondering why so much energetic, musical-comedy razzmatazz has been injected into a chronicle of the tragic deaths of over 900 people at the behest of Reverend Jim Jones. And from the show's opening minutes to its closing scene, you'll find that question inescapable, as it's not one authors Brian Silliman (book and lyrics) and Larry Lees (music and lyrics) ever see fit to truly address.
Consider it, if you will, a byproduct of the Urinetown Effect: How fun a musical can be extracted from impossibly dire subject matter? Despite the fervent efforts of Silliman, Lees, and the production's director and choreographer Sara Lampert Hoover to make the show a provocative and entertaining look at the tragedy in specific and groupthink in general, the results here remain firmly entrenched in horrifyingly bad taste. The most egregious example is that the deaths of Jones's followers are depicted in a comic disco number called "Funky Kool-Aid," but that the number appears not at all shocking in context only demonstrates how deep in the muck Jonestown is already mired.
Silliman and Lees were apparently aiming for a concept musical along the lines of Cabaret or Follies, in which certain numbers comment on the action rather than participate in it directly. Certainly all of Creighton's numbers, as well as the first-act finale "The Greatest Show on Earth," a demented circus staged for Leo's benefit, support this theory. So does the bloated (and, at over 15 minutes in length, interminable) show-trial finale, in which the massacre's sole survivor examines the extent of an individual's complicity in any group tragedy.
This sequence, more than any other, highlights Jonestown's most significant failing: Silliman and Lees don't know what their concept is. The book and score vacillate so rapidly between pop-opera seriousness and vaudeville-style shenanigans that the creators never get around to asking the questions the show-trial sequence (coyly listed as "The End of the Musical" in the program) seems designed to answer. It instead feels like an act of desperation, something - anything - that could be thrown in to give the show a whiz-bang ending.
Real concept shows can't get away with this: Things like Love Life's minstrel show and Follies' "Loveland" exist because they have to. And this is one problem no amount of frenetic staging from Hoover, lively music (under Michael Patrick Walker's musical direction), or attractive physical elements (Richard B. Williams did the sets, Stephen Petrilli the lighting, and Malisa Bowman the costumes) can fix. Jonestown is likely to remain confusing and unconvincing as long as its disparate elements intermingle in ways as jagged as they do here.
At least this is one of the best-populated musicals you're likely to see at the Fringe this year, with Broadway stars Matt Cavenaugh, J. Mark McVey, and Marla Schaffel joining Creighton and a high-powered chorus. McVey brings a real preacher's passion and a heavy-duty voice to Jones, and Schaffel, as Jones's wife, gets to display hefty comedy chops that were underutilized in her otherwise tour-de-force performance in Jane Eyre. As Jones's central disciple Samuel, Cavenaugh plays his role more or less straight, but never ineffectively, and he's quite believable as a troubled youth searching for meaning.
Should Silliman and Lees wish to take Jonestown further, they would be well advised to undertake a similar search. They're obviously talented, and if this show plays like an uneasy combination of Nunsense and Les Misérables, its songs are melodic, catchy, and memorable across a range of musical-theatre styles. But, unsurprisingly, most of these songs never ideally fit the material; that would require that Silliman and Lees first decide exactly what kind of musical they're trying to write.

Lib Dem Conference Review
Two days in and Liberal Democrat activists continue to bite back at a leadership which seems determined to embrace elements of commonsense within party policy.
- First the activists rejected the leadership's desire to cap the EU budget at 1% of national budgets, potentially allowing the European Union to consume even more of our funds should the Lib Dems ever get in to power.
- Secondly the activists tell Lib Dem DTI Spokesman Norman Lamb (the man who presumely would not have a job in a Lib Dem government as they want to scrap the Department) that his flagship policy of partially privatising the Royal Mail is not really their cup of tea.
The conference so far has been actually been quite exciting for an outsider looking in and it is not often you can say that about the Liberal Democrats.
For me I am happily enjoying the Lib Dems struggle with who they are, what they want to be and where they should go next. Charles Kennedy is as good as finished as an effective party leader in my eyes as he aimlessly floats along hoping his party's policy debates will somehow tell him what to believe.
The party does not know whether it should be left or right and has got itself in to a right old mess. Of course this is nothing unique - the Conservatives risk messing up themselves at their leaderless conference in two weeks time, but it is at least refreshing to see the Lib Dems squirm a little.
Of course we should not overplay the situation - we are still years from a General Election and the Lib Dems may well find their direction in time (I hope it remains left wing for the sake of the Conservatives) and what is more Kennedy does still have his admirers.
But what this situation does show is that the Liberal Democrats are not some sort of miracle political party which is constantly on the rise and where everyone gets on together. For the other political parties I think this is incredibly reassuring.
A party without an identity and without a direction comes unstuck sooner or later (see Conservative Party 1990 - present) and the Liberal Democrats are now beginning to realise I feel that being all things to all men cannot wash for ever.
Furthermore this situation offers the perfect background in which to finally start to undermine the Liberal Democrats, challenge their arguably superb local infrastructure and hopefully win back some lost voters at the next set of elections.
At the last general election the Conservatives were a lot better at dealing with the Lib Dem challenge than before, but there is still a long way to go. For me the approach has to be multi-latered, well planned and part of a long term effort.
We need to analyse and understand the strengths of Lib Dem political operations and copy those bits we like and undermine the rest. Most importantly we have to accept that in some cases the Lib Dems actually have some interesting policies we should take, shape and sell as our own - taking any political credit we can earn from them. Winning in politics is often about pragmatism remember and we should not be ashamed to treat the Lib Dems as a kind of pseudo think tank.
In such a vein I think the Conservatives should look at the Lib Dem Royal Mail proposals closely and look at any potential and most importantly I think they should seriously consider the School House system the Lib Dem activists actually did support today.
This could be the first stage in countering the Lib Dem Challenge...

Goldenberg on Moss
"This is not going to be a meek or polite book. Nor is it ever disrespectful. It is the book that only an intimate outsider, one licensed to see and to show and to tell, might write. Only Rod Moss could do this." So spoke Howard Goldenberg, doctor and author of Raft, in a talk he gave about Moss's book The Hard Light of Day at a recent gathering to celebrate the book's publication. Howard (left) posed for one of Rod's recent paintings, Agony In The Garden (above). Alic...Read more

Mulumbu Recharged For Rovers
Youssouf Mulumbu has said he is back on top form after being rested in our 2-0 loss against Everton.
Speaking to wba.co.uk the 25 year old said.
'I spoke with the gaffer and he said that maybe I needed to rest a little. I was disappointed but I accept the head coach's choice. Sometimes the gaffer can feel or see something that I didn't see.'
Despite the rest Mulumbu has still made more league appearances this season than his team mates, 27 starts and a sub appearance, so a single game out can't have done him much harm really.
Mulumbu has also called on us to get back to basics in the search for our next three points, adding.
'We need to win to guarantee survival. We need to get back to basics and make sure we stay in the Premier League. That means we have to win on Saturday and get one more point after that, then we will be free to see if we can finish in the top half.'

About Us
The Full Moon Oyster Bar is a popular watering hole and seafood grill located in Clemmons, NC, Southern Pines, NC, Morrisville, NC, Jamestown, NC, and Concord, NC, a few hours from the coast but still boasting some of the freshest seafood anywhere. Homemade recipes handed down over the years make our soups and original entrees some of the best in the southeast. Like the traditional steam houses down on our coast, we have learned that Fresh Oysters and other shellfish delights, are best prepared using hot steam only to preserve the salty good freshness we love.
Regulars and new comers alike who dine at the uniquely sectioned 50 seater bar are treated to more than just an awesome meal. The Shuckers behind the bar always provide a special hospitality and will even shuck your oysters right in front of you. Be sure to try one of our famous homemade cakes for dessert if you want to treat yourself to the real deal.
The bright seascapes and murals all around you make the wall glow with visions of being at the beach. The mellow atmosphere and happy faces of the smiling seafood lovers sitting next to you will surely make you feel that you are at an extraordinary setting. Come in and have a glass of wine or a cold beer and you will see that at the Full Moon, there are no strangers. Who knows, you might even find a pearl in your oyster.
Just one of many CLIENT REVIEWS
"So I'm thinking, in the middle of North Carolina sits this little Seafood joint that serves killer everything. It rivals anything I have had in Florida and the people are friendly, helpful and just good at what they do. My hat is off to "The Full Moon Oyster Bar", Lewisville-Clemmons, NC. Nice job!
