Roger Milla (born Albert Roger Miller, May 20, 1952, Yaoundé) is a former Cameroonian football player. He is one of the first African players to be a major star on the international stage. Amazingly, he did not achieve international stardom until he was 38, an age at which most other footballers have long since retired.\n\nBorn in the Cameroonian capital of Yaoundé, he moved constantly as a child because of his father's railroad job. He signed for his first club in Douala as a 13-year-old. At 18, he won his first league championship with another Douala club; in 1976, by which time he had moved to Tonnerre Yaoundé, he was awarded the African Golden Ball.\n\nIn 1977, he was lured to Europe by the French club Valenciennes. However, he was kept on the reserves for two years. In 1979, he joined AS Monaco, but shuttled between the reserves' bench and the injury list. The next year, he joined Bastia, but still did not flourish. He finally found stardom at Saint-Etienne in 1984; he then starred for Montpellier from 1986 to 1989, and became a member of the club's coaching staff after retiring from French football.\n\nWhile playing in France, he made his first appearance for the Cameroon national team (in 1978). He was a member of Cameroon's team at the 1982 World Cup, having a good goal wrongly disallowed against Peru in their first match. He played well as Cameroon went out with three draws from their three first-round games. Two years later, he was part of the squad competing at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. He first retired from international football in 1987, and eventually moved to Réunion in the Indian Ocean for his retirement.\n\nHowever, in 1990, he received a phone call from the President of Cameroon, who pleaded with him to come out of retirement and rejoin the national team. He agreed, and went to Italy with the Indomitable Lions for the World Cup.\n\nMilla emerged as one of the tournament's major stars. He scored four goals in Italy, celebrating each one with a dance around the corner post that has become a popular goal celebration ever since. Two of his goals came against Romania in Cameroon's second game, and two more came in extra time against Colombia in the last 16 to carry Cameroon to the quarter-finals -- the furthest that an African team has ever advanced at the World Cup (Senegal matched this feat in 2002).\n\nMilla returned to the 1994 World Cup at the age of 42 (during the tournament, a member of the Cameroon delegation remarked to journalists that Milla was in fact aged 46!). In the USA, Cameroon was knocked out in the group stages; however, Milla scored the consolation prize of a goal against Russia, breaking his own record as the oldest goalscorer in a World Cup tournament.\n\nHe is now an itinerant ambassador for African causes. In 2004, he was named to the FIFA 100, a list of the 125 greatest living footballers selected by Pelé in conjunction with FIFA's centenary celebrations.\n\nRetrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Milla"

hm. He is known as Broadway actor and singer Robert Merrill.\n\nKind of a joke because he was an operatic baritone famous for singing the national anthem at sports.(opera guy in a beer commercial?)\n\nSadly, he died in 2004. He had a movie cameo in Adam sandler's "anger management". Music credits in "dream team" and "married to the mob". Produced "the Glass Sheild"

Hi there.\nHope this helps. He's not a singer but a celebrity and a politician here in the uk. This is taken from a website about Pirate radio DJ's of the 60s and 70s' ...... Mr Roger Gale.\nRoger Gale The only pirate DJ to end up helping to run the country was born in Poole, Dorset, on 20th August 1943. Roger studied acting at the Guildhall School of Drama. However, as a descendant of Sir Francis Drake, he was a natural for life at sea and, in August 1964, joined Radio Caroline North, where he stayed until January 1965. In June he joined the south ship and became a Caroline “Good Guy”. This was a gimmick borrowed from station WMCA New York. The expression “disc jockey” was no more. The broadcasters were now all to be known as “Good Guys” and had to wear their special uniform of blue and white check shirts, grey trousers and yachting jacket, available from all branches of Burton's the tailors! The station was suffering from the competition of Radio London's Top 40 format and this was part of an attempt to update Caroline South's more middle-of-the-road sound. Unfortunately it did not work and another change in programme policy soon followed. There were staff upheavals and Roger moved on to join Radio Scotland as Programme Director. He later also helped launch Radio 270 off Scarborough. His theme tune was Horst Jankowski's A Walk In The Black Forest. After the pirates, he was a reporter on BBC Radio London and produced Radio Four's Today programme and Radio One's Newsbeat. He then switched to television, working on Thames TV's Magpie. He has been the Conservative MP for North Thanet for many years. His web site is at www.rogergale.co.uk

Roger Bacon (c. 1214 – 1294), also known as Doctor Mirabilis (Latin: "astounding teacher"), was one of the most famous Franciscan friars of his time. He was an English philosopher who placed considerable emphasis on empiricism, and has been presented as one of the earliest advocates of the modern scientific method; though later studies have emphasized his reliance on occult and alchemical traditions. He was intimately acquainted with the philosophical and scientific insights of the Arab world, one of the most advanced civilizations at the time.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Bacon

According to a 2005 profile by his biographer Tim Willis, Barrett — who has reverted to using his original name of Roger — continues to live in his late mother's semi-detached home in Cambridge, and has returned to his original art-form of painting, creating large abstract canvases. He is also said to be an avid gardener. His main point of contact with the outside world is his sister, Rosemary, who lives nearby. While reclusive, it is his physical health that now prompts most concern, being afflicted with stomach ulcers and B-type diabetes.\n\nAlthough Barrett has not appeared or spoken in public since the mid-1970s, time has done little to diminish interest in his life and work; reporters and fans still travel to Cambridge to seek him out, despite his attempts to live a quiet life, and many photos from the 1980s to the present of Barrett being annoyed by paparazzi when walking or biking to the store have been published in various places. A planned screen biography entitled "Crazy Diamond," which was to have been produced by Ridley Scott and directed by former Pink Floyd collaborator Peter Medak from a script by Ted Shuttleworth, ran into legal and rights issues and has been shelved indefinitely.

Milton Friedman (born July 31, 1912) is a U.S. economist, known primarily for his work on macroeconomics, microeconomics, economic history, statistics, and for his advocacy of laissez-faire capitalism. In 1976 he won the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (often called "The Nobel Prize in Economics") for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy." [1] His television series Free to Choose, aired on PBS in early 1980; it became a book coauthored with his wife Rose Friedman, that was widely read, as were his columns for Newsweek magazine.\n\nIn statistics, he devised the Friedman test as a non-parametric analogue to the two-way analysis of variance.\n\nBorn in New York City, New York to a working class family of Jewish Hungarian immigrants from Beregszász (Berehove, today Ukraine), Friedman grew up in Rahway, New Jersey, was educated at Rutgers University (B.A., 1932) and at the University of Chicago (M.A., 1933). After working for the federal government and for Columbia University, he received a Ph.D. from that institution in 1946. He then served as Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago from 1946 to 1976, where he contributed significantly to the intellectual tradition of the so-called Chicago school of economics. Since 1977, Friedman has been affiliated with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.\n\nFriedman is widely regarded as the leading proponent of the monetarist school of economic thought. He maintains that there is a close and stable link between inflation and the money supply mainly that the phenomenon of inflation is to be regulated by controlling the amount of money poured into the national economy by the Federal Reserve Bank, he rejects the use of fiscal policy as a tool of demand management, and he holds that the government's role in the guidance of the economy should be severely restricted. Friedman wrote extensively on the Great Depression, which he called the "Great Contraction," arguing that it had been caused by an ordinary financial shock whose duration and seriousness were greatly increased by the subsequent contraction of the money supply caused by the misguided policies of the directors of the Federal Reserve. Friedman also argued for the cessation of government intervention in currency markets, thereby spawning an enormous literature on the subject, as well as promoting the practice of freely floating exchange rates.\n\nFriedman has also supported various libertarian policies such as decriminalization of drugs and prostitution. In addition, he headed the Reagan committee that researched the possibility of a move towards a paid/volunteer armed force, and played a role in the abolition of the draft that took place in the 1970s in the U.S. He served as a member of U.S. President Ronald Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board in 1981. In 1988 he received both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the National Medal of Science. He has said that he is a libertarian philosophically but a member of the U.S. Republican Party for the sake of "expediency" ("I am a libertarian with a small l and a Republican with a capital R. And I am a Republican with a capital R on grounds of expediency, not on principle.")\n\nFriedman made headlines by proposing a negative income tax to replace the existing welfare system and then opposing the bill to implement it because it merely supplemented the existing system rather than replacing it. In recent years Friedman has devoted much of his effort to promoting school vouchers that can be used to pay for tuition at both private and public schools, saying, "What is needed in America is a voucher of substantial size available to all students, and free of excessive regulations." His idea is that vouchers would allow private schools to compete with the public scho
