While wrestling on TV these days -- WWE or TNA -- may not be anything to brag about, the wrestler's theme music has never been better.
TNA released their latest theme CD recently, Emergence, and like all of TNA's previous releases, it's one to definitely have in your collection.
Following 3rd Degree Burns and Meltdown, TNA's latest theme CD keeps with the trend of being a top-notch production.
This edition features four themes that stand out right away: Homicide (a remade LAX theme), the Main Event Mafia, the Motor City Machine Guns (an updated, more beat-filled tune) and a newer Samoa Joe song.
Theme songs are part of a wrestler's gimmick and when those first bars of their music hit during a particular show, the viewer instantly knows who's coming out. TNA music guru Dale Oliver is perfect in making those first notes of a theme fit the wrestler to a 'T.'
TNA has added some new wrestler's themes to Emergence, including Bobby Lashley , Mick Foley, Suicide, D'Angelo Dinero, The Beautiful People, Tara and The British Invasion. With the disbanding of LAX, Hernandez's new single theme is also included in this set, as is Beer Money's entrance tune.
The TNA theme, "Cross The Line," starts off the CD and it's the only way, really, to start a theme song disc.
Inevitably, in listening to this CD, the comparisons to WWE theme music comes up. In this reviewer's eyes, well, ears, putting TNA next to WWE theme music is like comparing apples and oranges.
WWE goes all-out and has now recruited established artists (see Nickelback, Papa Roach on Raw) to perform their themes. That's not saying that TNA doesn't go all-out, but the resources WWE has seem to be unlimited.
That said, Dale Oliver has my respect as he basically is a one-man show when it comes to creating, recording and producing TNA's themes. WWE seemingly buys their respect.
There are themes that were not included, however, and perhaps this may be a sign of an Anthology-type compilation in the future. Missing themes this reviewer would have included are Booker T, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Curry Man, and for that matter, Daniels, Eric Young/Super Eric and perhaps A.J. Styles.
When all is said (heard) and done, picking up Emergence is a solid choice for theme music buffs, such as yours truly. The disc is only 14 tracks long and just a hair over 30 minutes long, but it's a guarantee those 30 minutes will be time you'll want to live over and over again.
Matt Mackinder hasn't watched wrestling in ages, but still marks out for theme music. Email Matt at firstname.lastname@example.com.

16th Edition of Zenda University Wraps Up, 2013 Melges MC Scow Midwinters Fires Up With 80+ Entries
14 March 2013
Where is Zenda University? Well, this week the location was the Lake Eustis Sailing Club in Eustis, Florida. The official site of the 80+ MC Midwinter Championship. Sun, palm trees, wind and MC Scow Sailing. Real Fun!
This is the 16th annual Zenda University Course at Lake Eustis. 16 years now!!!!
The Melges Zenda University always kicks off the MC Scow Midwinter Championship. Two days of intense training on and off the water just prior to the official regatta. With a pyramid of fundamentals to focus on and accomplish (see below). The course is limited to 20 participants so that the coaches can give personal attention to their boats while on the trailer or while racing. The course is run in a regatta format with official racing with inspirational coaching mixed in. This year we had a total of 14 races over two days. Well over 25 practice starts. Drills and on the water visual demonstrations.
"Conditions were sunny, windy, light, medium, rainy, flat water, chop - we had it all this year and we all learned a lot! There is nothing like this, anywhere. Great instructors, personal coaching, private tuning and lots of fun. All with a nice steak dinner with wine! These Melges/North Sails guys do it all", said Jeff Nicholas from Clear Lake, Iowa.
What is a typical day at Zenda University like? Here is a brief run down of a ZU day.
730am instructor meeting and plan.
8am breakfast for all participants - breakfast meaning eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage - fresh and hot!
9am kick off for the day. On land instruction and review of our topics for the day.
10am sailing until 12:30 then it is lunch - a fresh lunch at LESC with coaching during the lunch hour.
More sailing from 1:30-4:30 with final day wrap up.
Steak dinner at 7-9pm
Then we do it all over again the next day.
The end result is dramatically improved MC sailors. The end result is a group of 20 sailors that are really psyched about Melges Racing! Fun on and off the water!!!
This years coaching team was Jim Gluek, Eric Hood, Ted Keller and Andy Burdick. A special thanks goes out to Monty for his fantastic video coverage and review along with June for helping Andy do the starts and scores. Thank you!
Melges MC racing is fun! The new North Z-1 Mainsail is fast. Many of the students were sailing with their new Z-1 during the class and many more will have them at the Midwinter Championship. You will want to be one of the first to have this new design on your lake. The new North Sails Z-1 main is really nice!!!
New Melges MC's are coming off the production line for this Spring and Summer!

The consumer and reservations website for Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), Delta.com, and its mobile app appear to be up and running again after experiencing an outage on Thursday afternoon, blocking some users from accessing the site and app for at least at least two hours.
Continue Reading Below
The site appeared to be back again shortly after 2:30 p.m. ET.
"Delta tech teams report site and app functioning," Delta said in a tweet. "Thanks to our customers for your patience."
The check-in kiosks at the airport remained open and available throughout the outage.
The company earlier in the afternoon said it was aware of an issue with its site and app and had its IT team working to resolve it.
"Delta is experiencing issues affecting website and mobile performance. Our apologies for the inconvenience," the company said earlier in a series of tweets on its official account.
The Atlanta-based carrier, the second-largest airline in the U.S., did not give a reason for the outage and a spokesperson did not immediately respond to FOX Business for a comment on that specific issue.
A customer representative from Delta told FOX Business that staffers were alerted to the outage via an internal e-mail and that no further details have been given about the cause or its potential duration.
It's not clear how many flight reservations were impacted or whether arrivals and departures were affected. When visiting its site, the user was greeted with "A Missed Connection" warning.
"We've encountered an unexpected server issue," the warning said. "Our technicians are working on the problem and we expect to have you back online very soon."
Site outages have been responsible for headaches across the airline industry, including most recently by JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU), which went offline for several hours last month and prompted dozens of flight delays due to a problem with a third-party partner.
The company's shares were up about 1.5% in recent trade, remaining in the green throughout the incident.

This is what I love about my Last FM software: I could be fiddling with my baseball cards with the iTunes open, and "Solid Space" from Olias of Sunhillow could randomly come on and all of a sudden I'll have this window opened for me with this seriously badass photo that I'd never before in my life even imagined the existence of, our favorite cosmic-minded domineering prog-rock man as a young dude experimenting with the mustachioed look, as a way to win friends and influence spacy-headed prog-people.
It's the kind of thing that would inspire me to write something like
The 'stash is a good look for Mr. Anderson, shoulda stayed with it, makes him look like he coulda been in Bad Company or something . . . . .
And I bet you all agree.

I have a piece of code where I would like to enforce the creation of tasks even for 1 thread.
Can I perform this in any way within the code or is there an environment variable I can set to make sure that tasks are created even for
a single thread in the icc & gcc compilers.
I have tried the following technique which does not seem to work:
- Code: Select all
#pragma omp parallel firstprivate(a, gap, waves) private(temp, wave, ii, i) shared(np, mp, elements)
num_threads= omp_get_num_threads();
#pragma omp master
for loop
-- do something --
#pragma omp task firstprivate(ii, np, mp, chunk, elements) if((num_th >= 1))
for loop
--- do something ---
#pragma omp taskwait
This is a performance test I wish to conduct for I want to judge the performance of the above code using just 1 thread.
Currently the icc and gcc compilers by default do not generate tasks when the code is running on a single thread.
Is there a way I can disable that and force it to create tasks even when operating on 1 thread as well.

WEST POINT, Miss. (Oct. 1, 2013) – Posting four solid scores and placing two players in the Top 10 individually, the ETSU women's golf team moved from eighth place to fifth place during second round action Tuesday in the Old Waverly Bulldog Invitational at the Old Waverly Golf Club.
The Buccaneers were led by senior Sian Evans (Gillingham, England), who carded a team-best score of even-par 72 and finished the day tied for seventh place at 144 for the tournament. Meanwhile, junior Gabriella Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) fired a 2-over 74 to tie for 10th at 146.
Mississippi State continues to dominate the team competition and finished the day at 7-under 569 for the tournament, 10 strokes ahead of second place East Carolina. The Bucs, who improved on their team score from Monday by six strokes and ended Tuesday's second round at 294, are just three strokes out of third place for the tournament.
"The ladies made a lot of birdies today and we had great rounds throughout the team," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "We lost some shots on the tough finishing holes, but we see the potential for another great round tomorrow.
"We have been playing consistent, par golf on difficult courses, so this golf course has challenged us to visualize and trust a more aggressive game while remaining patient."
Other ETSU results Tuesday included a solid 1-over-par 73 from senior Lourdes Lopez (Cadiz, Spain), which moved her into a tie for 17th. Meanwhile, sophomore Vivienne Chin (Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia) is tied for 38th.
On the individual leaderboard, Mississippi State's Jessica Peng and Ally McDonald continue to sit atop the field, with Peng holding a slight one-stroke lead over her teammate.
Third and final round play is set for Wednesday, and fans can watch live scoring by visiting BirdieFire.com and clicking on the tournament link. ETSUBucs.com will also provide a full report following each day's play.

TMZ has obtained legal docs in Jesse's divorce from Janine Lindemulder. James filed several declarations, accusing Janine of various acts of brutality -- including punching him, bludgeoning him in the back of the head with a flowerpot, swinging a steel bone sculpture at him, trying to run him over with her car, socking him in the eyeball because he used her parking space, and going Naomi Campbell on him with a cellphone.
James says on one occasion, when Janine was pregnant, she began hitting and chasing him in their bedroom, and he grabbed her by the hair to hold her at bay.
Bullock will probably choose to bludgeon Jesse with a Beverly Hills lawyer.

This windswept U.S. garrison on Iraq's border with Iran has no running water and sporadic mail service, and it's so easily overlooked that the military accidentally canceled its contract for portable toilets last month, forcing the 60 soldiers who live here to resort to disposable waste bags for a while.
Yet Joint Security Station Wahab, which service members recently voted "the most austere base" in southern Iraq, is expected to remain after most of the American super bases in the country close. That's because the soldiers here are on the front line of the U.S. military's efforts to track and counter Iranian influence, a mission that's going to get harder as the area's al Sheeb border station opens to thousands of Iranian tourists in the next few months.
As the U.S. military dismantles much larger bases elsewhere, the ones with fast-food outlets, beauty salons and Eastern European masseuses, commanders plan to keep the small border contingent in place as long as possible. Its job: to train Iraqi forces to protect al Sheeb and its environs, a 25-mile land mine-dotted stretch with deserts to the north and marshes to the south.
Where Iraqi officials envision a bustling tourist hub that will bring jobs and investment, U.S. officials see another potential foothold for Iran, which already provides electricity and water to the Iraqi border station. Once the last mines are cleared, a tedious and dangerous undertaking, al Sheeb crossing will open for tourists. The Americans aren't sure that the Iraqi infrastructure or border force is ready for such a massive influx and the accompanying security concerns.
"Really, the U.S. can counterbalance Iranian influence, whether soft or malign, only up to a certain point," said Army Maj. Daniel Dorado, 34, of Mililani, Hawaii, a fluent Arabic speaker who heads the U.S. transition team that advises Iraqi border forces at JSS Wahab. "But I don't see how we can counterbalance people coming through. We can't make more Iraqis."
Spy vs. Spy
The American soldiers at JSS Wahab are attached to the 4th Brigade of the Army's 1st Armored Division, out of Fort Bliss, Texas. They don't have to deal with the rocket fire and roadside bombs that target other outposts. Instead, they're locked in what one soldier described as a "spy vs. spy" scenario with Iran's security forces, which are so close that the American and Iranian units regularly spot one another on patrols.
"While they're very close, it's a Checkpoint Charlie situation," Capt. Courtney Dean, 28, of Bloomington, Ind., said of the Iranian forces. "I stand there with my binoculars looking at the Iranians, and they look back with the thousand-yard stare."
For now, the crossing is open only to Iraqi-driven cargo trucks, which can enter Iran for a few hours at a time, long enough to load up on cement or bricks and then re-enter Iraq, passing through a series of inspections and X-ray machines. The Americans get suspicious when a truck returns empty; they wonder what the driver was up to on the other side of the border. The soldiers said that both sides used the Iraqi truck drivers as informants.
In January, Dorado said, U.S. troops noticed a surveillance drone hovering above their camp in broad daylight. The Americans checked with their command and were told that no U.S. drones were in the area. They realized it was an Iranian aircraft spying on their post, a rare provocation. The drone stayed overhead for a few minutes and then left.
"Of course we waved," Dorado said with a grin. "We gave them the one-finger salute."
Iranian supplied utilities
The Americans' security concerns aren't unfounded. Until 2007, the crossing at al Sheeb was wide open, with Iranian-backed Iraqi Shiite militias in control of traffic, U.S. and Iraqi officers said. Smugglers carried on a bustling cross-border trade in everything from racing camels to explosives, and their bribes for safe passage went straight into militia coffers.
"The governor sent us here in 2006 to see the situation, and it wasn't good. The militias controlled everything," said Staff Brig. Gen. Waleed al Qaisi, the head of al Sheeb Port of Entry Directorate, which answers to the Interior Ministry in Baghdad.
Interviewed in his office in the half-finished official crossing of al Sheeb, Qaisi credits his U.S. advisers with being instrumental in helping the Iraqis regain control of the area after Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki's anti-militia campaign of 2008.
Although he still has doubts about whether Iran can be a good neighbor to Iraq, Qaisi said security seemed stable enough to shift focus to tourism possibilities at al Sheeb. Every week, cargo imports alone bring Iraq $95,000 in tariffs, or about $4.6 million a year. The money generated from the crossing will increase exponentially when the border opens to busloads of Iranian religious tourists headed for Iraq's legendary gold-domed Shiite shrines.
"This place is like an oil well that's just not open yet," Qaisi said.
Also not open yet: restaurants, hotels, public bathrooms and other basic services that will be needed to support so many travelers. On the security side, the Iraqis are still waiting for baggage scanners and other equipment to prevent weapons or drugs from being smuggled in.
Every time progress stalls at al Sheeb, Iran steps in to help, to the Americans' consternation. They're sure that the assistance will be repaid with lucrative contracts for Iranian investors and tourism companies, including a bus service that's operated by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.
"There's a lot of soft Iranian influence here through utilities. Now we have water and electricity that's Iranian, so you have another country providing utilities. What does that say about sovereignty?" Dorado said. "Yes, there will be economic benefit in the future, but at what expense?"
Have Iran and its allies been passing phony $100 bills in Iraq?

I'm sure you've had days where you are reading someone's blog, or a succession of Facebook posts, where people talk about how wonderful their spouse is, how much they love their children, what great friends they have, how fabulous their pets are, etc.
I hate that.
Which is why I've been hesitant to post anything about this year's vacation. But since it is motorcycle related, and since I am super-excited about it, I just have to share.
|The Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps near Switzerland
They started it by visiting us for a few days in 2009 while touring the Northeastern US. We reciprocated in 2010 by visiting them for a few days during our trip to Europe. In 2011, they came to the US and we explored a bunch of national parks out west. Now it's our turn to go to Europe.
Our significant others usually leave all of the planning to us women. Of course, we are very good at trip planning, so that's a smart move. This year, Hubby did voice a vague preference that he wanted it to be a destination good for motorcycling.
Annelies and I were having a heck of time deciding where to go. But we finally settled on Northern Italy.
Hubby and I spent a little bit of time in Italy during our first trip to Europe. That's when we did a five-day Edelweiss motorcycle tour, which had us based in Austria, but also riding into Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Across several of the mountain passes that are mecca for motorcyclists. With quick stops in lovely little towns, one of which was Sterzing / Vipiteno.
Most of the towns in Northern Italy have German and Italian names. In many of the regions where we will be traveling -- North, Trentino-Alto Adige, South Tyrol, Bolzano Province -- the German language is spoken more than Italian. In Alto Adige, German is actually the official language. It's a long story...
The Edelweiss tour was fabulous. I captured that shot of the infamous Stelvio Pass during our first visit. As awesome as it was, it was also sort of expensive. So this year we decided to go the "bargain" route. We'll be renting bikes from an agency in Milan (thanks Fuzzy!) and tooling around Northern Italy for five days on our own.
Which should be interesting considering neither of us know a lick of German or Italian. And I cannot seem to comprehend the whole meters to miles conversion. I guess I'd better start studying!
|Sterzing / Vipiteno in Italy
Annelies and Yves aren't into the bike touring thing, so we'll meet up with them after our rental period for another nine days of recreation. At some point, we'll be hopping over into Switzerland to visit a mutual friend and her husband. They just, within the last week or so, moved to Ecublens, Switzerland, a suburb of Lausanne.
This is all happening in September. I have lots and LOTS of planning to do.
Oh, I forgot to mention that it was during the Edelweiss tour, which had me riding an F650GS, that I became a cruiser-to-dual sport convert.
Anyway... that's my big trip for this year. But there will be lots of little trips between now and then. I hope!

H and C because they go together.
"I was mad at my god(s) because of a book."
This video helped me to let go of "belief in belief", and a lot of stuff I read (mostly online but in books also).
O-Other My inability to reconcile religion with scientific fact led me to be an atheist
---and then eventually that led to F :)
I don't remember what lead me to first question religion and theism, but I know that reading The God Delusion made me more comfortable calling myself atheist rather than trying to fence-sit with the label agnostic (which I now know was an inappropriate use of the term anyway).
O: Every Saturday morning, these two guys would swing by my house and hand me an Atheism tract...
Kidding, kidding!
But, really, O: It took A LOT of independent studying (science, religion, Bible, etc) for me to realize that God wasn't real and that Christianity wasn't true.

Middlebury, Vt. - Sophomore WR A.J. Jones (Freetown, Sierra Leone) had five catches for 135 yards and two touchdowns, and the visiting Trinity College Bantams returned two first-quarter interceptions for touchdowns en route to a 42-7 victory over the Middlebury College Panthers in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) football action this afternoon at Youngman/Alumni Field. The Bantams, ranked No. 2 in New England, improve to 6-0 with their 12th consecutive win and their first triumph at Middlebury since 2005, keeping pace with next Saturday's opponent, Amherst, in first place in the NESCAC. The Panthers drop to 2-4 with their first loss in three games.
"We tried to stress all week at practice that the last two games we played here were with different players on both sides, but the seniors still had some extra motivation after suffering our first loss of the year here as sophomores," said Trinity Head Coach Jeff Devanney. "Our seniors are so competitive that they would play their hearts out even if we played this game in a field on the side of the road, and our younger guys are sound football players that have been unfazed by pressure situations."
Middlebury drove to the Trinity 38-yard line on the game's opening possession, taking advantage of a roughing the kicker penalty on the Bantams on a punt, but Trinity sophomore LB Stephen Goniprow (Barrington, R.I.) picked off Middlebury junior QB Andy Dittrich in the left flat and outsprinted the Middlebury offense 71 yards for a touchdown. A 32-yard kick-off return by Matt Rea gave Middlebury the ball at the Trinity 48-yard line on its ensuing possession. Quarterback Andy Dittrich hit Zach Driscoll and Nick Resor for 11 yards apiece, and Trinity committed a pass interference penalty near the goal line before Remi Ashkar scored from one yard out to tie the game at 7-7.
The following drive saw Trinity go three and out before Dittrich was picked off by Bantam safety Rae Haynes (Hartford, Conn.), who ran 29-yards for a touchdown to give the Bantams a 14-7 lead at the 6:57 mark of the second quarter. After turning Middlebury over on downs from its own 16-yard line, the Bantams came up with a big play on 3rd-and-11 when junior QB Ryan Burgess (Dracut, Mass.) found Jones down the left sideline for a 55-yard pass inside the Panther 10-yard line. On the next play, Trinity sophomore RB Ben Crick (Middlebury, Vt.) ran the ball in around the left tackle for a 21-7 Bantam lead with 6:45 left before the break. Trinity took complete control of the game over the final minutes of the second quarter, as Jones caught a 34-yard scoring pass by sophomore QB Hedley Jennings (Charlotte, N.C.) with 3:25 left and a 15-yard touchdown pass from Burgess in the final minute to lift the visitors to a 35-7 lead at intermission.
Middlebury's Michael Bilodeau recovered a fumble on the opening kick-off of the second half, and the Panthers drove to the Trinity 20-yard line before turning the ball over on downs. Early in the fourth quarter, a Panther fumble on a punt was recovered by Trinity senior LB Mark Snyder (Rockaway, N.J.) at the Middlebury 21-yard line. The Bantams scored the only points on the second half on the next play, as junior Andrew Grombala (Cincinnati, Ohio) scored on a double reverse from 21 yards out.
Trinity outgained Middlebury, 348-194, including a 197-50 edge on the ground, while the Bantam defense held the Panthers to 4-for-20 on third and fourth down conversions. Sophomore RB Dante Astheimer (Pottstown, Pa.) had 64 rushing yards on 15 carries, and classmate Evan Bunker (Topsfield, Mass.) added 16 rushes for 55 yards, while Burgess completed 5 of 16 passes for 117 yards. Defensively, Snyder finished with 10 tackles to go with his fumble recovery, and senior co-captain ILB Walter Fallas (Everett, Mass.) added eight stops.
Dittrich, playing in place of MaCallom Foote who sat out the game with an injury, went 18 of 41 for 144 yards with two interceptions in his first career start. Ashkar finished with 38 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries, while Driscoll (46 yds.) and Resor (39 yds.) each caught five passes. Bilodeau and Zachary Faber and each had 10 tackles, while Daniel Kenerson added nine hits.

Jehnie Burns, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor of history, recently authored the article "Debating Indochinese Identity: French Idealism and Interwar Protest at the Cité Universitaire" which was published in the French language scholarly journal Migrance. Migrance is a semi-annual journal dedicated to the history of immigration in France and in Europe.
The idea for Burns' article came from her dissertation, which focused on the treatment and perception of foreign university students in Paris between World War I and World War II."My article also brought together themes that are pertinent in France today. One of the biggest issues the French are debating is the question of identity: what does it mean to be French? Exploring the past helps to make sense of why France looks the way it does today," explained Burns.
Burns frequently incorporates topics relating to her published research articles into the history classes she teaches. "We discuss the Vietnam War and the impact of imperialism in the 20th century and use Indochina/Vietnam as an example to understand the historic debates that happened."

Lam Yik Fei/Getty; AKM-GSI
When we saw Avril Lavigne in an elegant black-and-white gown at the Huading Image Awards in China earlier this week, we had to wonder if the star was turning over a new leaf, stylewise. Rather than gold blush or thick rings of eyeliner, she wore a subdued cat eye and soft pink lips. Rather than technicolor-streaked half-shaved hair, she wore center-parted blonde waves. Perhaps having a permanent duet partner was making her soft?
RELATED: Vote on more star style in Last Night's Look!
But not for long! The star was next spotted at an airport looking like the Mrs. Chad Kroeger we've come to know and love. Sporting her giant pear-shaped diamond and a pair of aviators — oh yeah, and cornrows streaked with magenta strands — she looked as pleased as ever to wear a "life sux" tee.
As jarring as it was to see Lavigne all gussied up with not a hint of raccoon eye in sight, she did look lovely. On the other hand, we're so used to seeing her with something funky going on that perhaps it was a relief to see her back to her old ways. What do you think: Do you like her with a more mature, grown-up style or do you want her to stay in "punk princess" mode forever? And actually, how are we feeling about colorful cornrows in general?

X was one of the finest and most widely acclaimed American rock bands of the 1980s. Rising out of the Los Angeles punk rock scene, X merged punk, rockabilly, blues, and country flavors into a revved-up sound that at once celebrated and deconstructed American pop culture, and the group's lyrics -- written by singer Exene Cervenka and bassist/vocalist John Doe -- used beat-influenced poetry to examine life along the margins in one of America's most privileged cities. X became a major draw in their hometown, and their first two independently released albums, Los Angeles and Wild Gift, each managed the then-remarkable feat of selling over 50,000 copies each. However, as the group's popularity steadily grew and they began to expand the boundaries of the underground music community, the band found themselves faced with the question of how to bring their sound to the mass audience without compromising their music (or their principles) in the process. The Unheard Music is a documentary that combines live footage of the band and interviews with the four members (as well as their friends and families) with surreal music videos and montages of newsreel footage and vintage television commercials which help to illustrate X's uphill struggle against the music industry. The year The Unheard Music was released, guitarist and founding member Billy Zoom left the band, and X soldiered on with guitarist Tony Gilkyson before calling it a day in 1988. However, the group briefly reunited with Gilkyson in 1993, recording two albums (one studio, one live), and in 1998, Billy Zoom made his long-awaited return to X's lineup for a series of enthusiastically received live dates.

A healthy meal starts with more veggies and fruits, smaller portions of grains and protein, and our favorite food group, dairy. Yet getting our kids to eat in balanced lunches can be a herculean task. These quick and easy short cuts keep things simple for you, and yummy for your little ones!
Style It
Inspire your kid's appetite with lunch that looks fun! Try taking a cookie cutter to a turkey sandwich, or use an ice cream scooper to make individual servings of watermelon and voila! Instant, edible fun.
Mix it up
To keep things interesting, try creating your own mixture of unsalted nuts, dried fruit and whole wheat pretzels for a tasty blend of protein, fruit and grains. Mixing it up also applies to trying new foods altogether. Your kid might LOVE kale, but you'll never know until you try!!
Single servings of Tillamook Yogurt or Cheese are a great way to include dairy (and protein!) in your child's snacks and lunches. Plus, they take zero prep time, which means you have time to for coffee before the morning bell rings.
Dare to Pair
Pairing isn't just for wine and cheese! For little one's lunches, couple foods from different groups that go well together to create an even better taste, like sliced fruit or berries with Tillamook Yogurt. Or instead of the usual sandwich routine, try an open-faced tomato, basil, and cheese on whole wheat bun.
What's your best Tillamama tip to make sure your little ones get a complete meal both at home and at school?
freeze melons in cubes put on skewers with other fruit
Hi Alida,
That's a delicious suggestion. Thanks for sharing with us here on the Tillamook Blog.
All the best,
Amalya of the Tillamook team

Returning to his alma mater, Todd Whitting rejoined the University of Houston baseball program as its head coach on Friday, Director of Athletics Mack Rhoades announced.
Whitting becomes the eighth coach in program history and brings a solid resume as a coach and as a recruiter, roles he held for seven seasons at TCU and as an assistant at Houston from 1995 to 2003.
During his career, he has been a part of programs that won 16 conference regular-season and tournament championships, competed in 13 NCAA Regionals, five NCAA Super Regionals and one NCAA College World Series.
He also worked closely with 57 players that were drafted by major league organizations.
Whitting quickly developed a reputation as one of the nation's top recruiters at both TCU and Houston. He was instrumental in bringing three signing classes to TCU that ranked among the nation's top 10 by Baseball America magazine, including the No. 3 class in 2010.
As a Cougar, he assembled Houston's 2000 signing class that was ranked No. 13 by Collegiate Baseball magazine.
With an award-winning background and strong recruiting ties in Houston, the state and across the country, Whitting was the best choice to lead the Cougars into the future, Rhoades said.
"We are thrilled Todd is returning to the Cougar family," Rhoades said. "He is a program builder who played a key role in all facets of the program at TCU and its run to the College World Series this year and its previous success. Todd likewise was a vital component of our baseball program's success in the early 2000s.
"When speaking with numerous baseball people across the great state of Texas, everyone spoke very highly about Coach Whitting the person and baseball coach. He is committed to the development of student-athletes both on and off the field and will work tirelessly to elevate Houston Baseball to the next level in all areas. We welcome home Coach Whitting and his son Matthew."
In seven seasons at TCU, Whitting helped the Horned Frogs compile a 305-134 record, including six-straight conference championships. The Horned Frogs competed in the NCAA postseason each year during his tenure with an NCAA Super Regional berth in 2009 and the program's first NCAA College World Series appearance in 2010.
Whitting's deep ties to the Houston area played an important part of the Frogs' postseason success. More than 40 percent of TCU's roster (14 of 32 players) came from the Greater Houston area.
Whitting also helped lead the program to three straight seasons among the top 11 teams in the final polls.
As the recruiting coordinator for the Horned Frogs, he was instrumental in bringing three recruiting classes to TCU that ranked among Baseball America's top 10. 2010 National Freshman of the Year Matt Purke, who was the 14th overall selection in the 2009 MLB Draft and finished the season with a perfect 16-0 mark, was a part of his 2009 signing class.
As the hitting and infield coach, Whitting oversaw a potent offense that set school records for team batting average, home runs and runs per game in 2010.
His accomplishments were not just limited to the offense, The Horned Frogs set a school record with a .976 fielding percentage in 2008 and ranked among the nation's top 10 leaders in that category for two straight years.
Prior to his time at TCU, Whitting served as an assistant coach at Houston, helping the Cougars to three NCAA Super Regional appearances during a four-year stretch. He guided the Cougars to four 40-win seasons, including the 2000 and 2002 squads that set school records with 48 victories.
In 2000, the Cougars established themselves as one of the nation's elite programs, hosting an NCAA Regional and NCAA Super Regional. Behind the No. 13 recruiting class in the nation, the Cougars finished first nationally with a .977 fielding percentage, a record that continues to stand today, and earned a No. 11 ranking in the final polls.
Two years later, the Cougars equaled that victory total with a 48-17 record, defeated Arizona State to win the NCAA Mesa Regional and finished ninth in the final polls.
In 2003, the Cougars used a strong surge at the end of the season to assemble one of the most memorable campaigns in school history. After losing the first game at the NCAA College Station Regional, UH won its next five games, including a 7-6 thriller in 10 innings against host Texas A&M during the championship game, to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals.
Whitting replaces Rayner Noble, who resigned in June after 16 seasons as head coach.
A three-year letterman with the Cougars, Whitting graduated from UH in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology.
He has a 6-year-old son, Matthew.
"We are thrilled Todd is returning to the Cougar family. He is a program builder who played a key role in all facets of the program at TCU and its run to the College World Series this year and its previous success. Todd likewise was a vital component of our baseball program's success in the early 2000s.
"When speaking with numerous baseball people across the great state of Texas, everyone spoke very highly about Coach Whitting the person and baseball coach. He is committed to the development of student-athletes both on and off the field and will work tirelessly to elevate Houston Baseball to the next level in all areas. We welcome home Coach Whitting and his son Matthew.
University of Houston Director of Athletics Mack Rhoades
"Coach Whitting is a great players' coach who relates well to all his players. He was the main reason that I came to Houston when he recruited me. He is one of the top recruiters in the country and is going to bring outstanding players to UH."
2006 National Player of the Year and current Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher Brad Lincoln
"I associate Todd with the greatest period in Houston baseball history, so obviously it made sense that UH went after him. He did a great job building TCU to what it is today with the constraints that it had being a private school.
"By putting Todd at UH where he doesn't have those constraints, where he is working at a public school in an urban area with a lot of recruiting possibilities, I believe that Houston can succeed like a Texas or a Cal State Fullerton.
"Todd's work in recruiting over the years speaks for itself. It's an excellent hire for Houston, and it's the best hire that they could have made."

Executive MPA Alumna Donna Leno Gordon Receives Sloan Public Service Award
NEW YORK, NY-March 14, 2011 –Baruch College alumna Donna Leno Gordon, RN, MS, MPA was honored for her work and dedication to public service by the Fund for the City of New York, supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Gordon was presented with the Public Service Award during a ceremony on March 14 at Cooper Union.
For more than 38 years, the Fund has recognized City employees at all ranks and levels of government through its Sloan Public Service Awards, widely regarded as the Nobel Prizes of City government. This program annually honors six outstanding civil servants whose work performance and commitment to the public, "transcend not merely the ordinary but the extraordinary-- day after day and year after year." Since 1985, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has supported this program.
Gordon, a 2005 graduate from the Executive MPA Program in the School of Public Affairs, is also founder the Palliative Care Unit at Coney Island Hospital. She first became interested in helping the community when she was in high school.
"I volunteered in a rehabilitation center where I could see if serving the needs of those who were suffering was something that I could do," she said. "With all of its challenges, the answer was an overwhelming 'yes.' It wasn't something that I could do; it was something that I had to do."
Before earning her XMPA from Baruch College, Gordon earned her RN from Pace University and an MS from Iona College. She has been with Health and Hospitals Corporation since 1988 and began her career at Coney Island Hospital as a primary nurse therapist in the addictive disease outpatient department. Through the years, Gordon moved up the ranks and spearheaded the development of the hospital's Palliative Care Program, which has become the model for Palliative Care in the entire New York City public hospital system.
As Director of Behavioral Health Nursing and Palliative Care at Coney Island Hospital, Gordon also chairs HHC's Palliative Care Council. Since 2005, more than 5,000 families have received Palliative Care consult services at Coney Island Hospital.
"I feel that it is so important for people to participate in public service because every day we have the opportunity to improve the lives of others," Gordon says. "This is truly a privilege."
Gordon was honored along with: Sarah Carroll, Director of Preservation with the Landmarks Perservation Commission; Jefrick R. Dean Sr., Bus Operator with the New York Transit Authority; James McConnell, Assistant Commissioner for Strategic Data with the Office of Emergency Management, Ruth E. Stark, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Acting Dean of Science with the City College of New York, CUNY; and Phil Weinberg, Principal of the High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology, Department of Education.

To be eligible for admission, an applicant must have received a baccalaureate degree from a college or university accredited by one of the regional associations and demonstrated satisfactory performance on the Law School Admission test. The test is administered by the Law School Admission Services, Newtown, PA, in cooperation with the nation's law schools.
No specific pre-legal program is required. Courses that develop verbal and writing skills and encourage logical thinking are considered good preparation for law study. Courses in History, English, Logic, Philosophy, and the Social Sciences are relevant to the study of law but are not prerequisites.
The Columbus School of Law will consider a limited number of CUA undergraduates for admission after three years of college if they meet applicable admission criteria and if the university will award the appropriate baccalaureate degree upon satisfactory completion of the first year of the day-division program or the first three semesters of the evening-division program.
At The Columbus School of Law of The Catholic University of America our goal is to create a community of learning rich in multicultural diversity. Soliciting applicants from a vast array of racial, religious, social and ethnic backgrounds, cultivates an educational environment where free thought in the marketplace of ideas is not just accepted, but the norm.

I didn't find anything exciting by reviewing the letter A surnames. But I was able to find more family histories that needed the source details added. Although they weren't "A" surnames, I still found:
- That I forgot to do the last generation in a family history. I stopped with my common ancestor and forgot about the extra entries for a few of her children. Then I was able to find:
- The middle name of one woman
- That one man in my database was actually 2 men. The woman had married cousins with the same name. Then I was able to find the 2nd marriage record and detangle the two men.
- In another family history, I found that they mixed up the woman's maiden name and first married name. Then I was able to find her first husband, obituary, and burial place.
I also plan to cut up those stories into small parts and send them out to my family over the next year. That way they can build on the stories and also help me to identify which child was causing what trouble.
So even though I didn't find anything exciting in the letter "A", I still was able to find gaps in my database and fill in more blanks.
Other letter cleanups:

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT and Fisher College baseball team's met Wednesday for the fifth time in the program's histories and MIT used a four run eighth inning to win for the fifth time against the NAIA Falcons. The Engineers emerged with an 8-4 victory in non-conference play at Briggs Field.
In a game which saw MIT use a dearth of reserves, first baseman Zach Carr slammed a three run double to left center with two outs to clear the loaded bases and put MIT up 8-4 in the ninth. The Engineers had taken the one run lead a batter earlier when designated hitter Grant Iwamoto took a bases loaded walk.
Carr led the Engineers with 3 of their fifteen hits and four RBIs. The Engineers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by catcher Dan Hyatt. Fisher grabbed two runs back in the top of the fifth on a 2 run single by right fielder Victor Lebron, but MIT got three back in the bottom of the inning. Carr singled home right fielder Sean Fannin before third baseman Patrick Dayton had an RBI groundout and shortstop Bryan Macomber added a single to score Carr.
Fisher grabbed another run in the sixth on an RBI single by DH Reyanaldo Nunez and then tied the game when Carr couldn't handle a line drive shot from first baseman Davidson Peguero. The game look as though it could be headed for extra innings until Fisher reliever Andrew Hurd loaded the bases with two singles and a walk.
The Falcons collected just four hits but were aided by five errors made by the Engineers, including three on pick-off or stolen base plays, and only one of their runs was earned.
Max Ockner started the game and pitched five innings, allowing just two hits and walking none. Ockner struck out two and allowed two runs, one of them earned. Henry Zhu pitched an inning and a third and got the win, improving to 4-2 on the season. Zhu struck out one batter, as did Brandon Lowe, Cameron Brown and Ryan Munoz, who all pitched well in relief for MIT.
Hurd takes loss for Fisher after giving up four runs in two thirds of an inning. He came in in relief of Aaronn McGuinness, who gave up 11 hits and four runs but walked only one and struck out eight Engineers over seven innings.
MIT improves their record to 20-10. They will host UMass Boston on Thursday at 4:00 PM before continuing in the NEWMAC tournament on Saturday when they play an elimination game against Babson. That game will be at 12:00 PM on the campus of Wheaton College.
Fisher falls to 21-24, an impressive mark after starting the season 0-18, with an 11-1 record in the NAIA Sunrise Conference. The Falcons will host Worcester State College at 7:00 PM on Thursday at Fraser Field.

You have likely already seen Drunk Jeff Goldblum enthusing about things. The internet, pizza, and more. This latest video, in which he slurredly marvels at the ubiquity of PayPal, might be my favorite.
(Part of that may have something to do with the fact that I see the actual full-speed version of this ad approximately five thousand times a night while watching Hulu.)
If the people hiring Jeff Goldblum to shill for their products had any sense at all, they'd actually get him liquored up for his next ad and let him do it while actually drunk. (It's cool, ad companies, just credit me for the idea at some point and it's all yours.)
Would drunken spokespeople make it more likely for you to buy a given product? Should more ads for alcohol be feature actual drunk people? Do you want to rewatch Jurassic Park as much as I do?
Feel free to discuss Goldblum, drinking, or whatever else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chatting, and remember: When Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

The bottom structural part of Induction Furnace (Figure with details published in a separate article on Induction Furnace) on which main crucible lies is generally lined with bricks and do not require to be changed frequently. However, working face of the main crucible is lined with a suitable ramming mass. Selection of the ramming mass (R/M) entirely depends on the scrap melted (as given in the Table below) and operating parameters. The roof is lined with a suitable castable generally of High Alumina base and Low Cement Castable (LCC). The launder or spout of the furnace either is rammed or lined with refractory bricks. For side wall lining a suitable cylindrical former is essential. The former can be made either removable or consumable type. In case of consumable former the quality of the former should be compatible with the quality of the product (melt) to be produced. Generally bottom ramming is done first followed by the side wall ramming. Ramming is generally done layer-wise with the help of pneumatic rammers to ensure compaction and packing density. At the same time to avoid lamination between the layers each layer is to be scratched before putting fresh material for further ramming. The collar rim of the induction furnace crucible is made of the same refractory paste as used for constructing the crucible but with a greater addition of bonding materials & water. Then furnace heating schedule is to be followed carefully which will depend upon the furnace lining thickness, nature of ramming mass etc.Recent Articles

Leinster made it a memorable Heineken Cup hat-trick as they dished out a five-try 42-14 defeat to provincial rivals Ulster at Twickenham. Taking the title for a third time in four years, Leinster underlined their pedigree with a record winning margin in a final and they also became the first team to go through a nine-match Heineken Cup campaign unbeaten.

Biarritz Olympique 19 Munster 23
Millennium Stadium, Cardiff
Att: 74,534
Referee: Chris White
Saturday 20th May 2006, 15:00
Munster were crowned European champions after winning the Heineken Cup for the first time after winning a gripping final against Biarritz in Cardiff. Heartbreaking defeats in the finals of 2000 and 2002 had upped the stakes for Munster but it was a case of third time lucky after producing the performance of a lifetime.
A packed Millennium Stadium erupted in a sea of red after Trevor Halstead and Peter Stringer both scored tries to savour. And Ronan O'Gara kicked a perfect five out five to clinch an historic win for the Irish giants and spark wild celebrations that were heard all the way back in Limerick and Cork.
Sereli Bobo had given Biarritz hope with a try after two minutes and Dimitri Yachvili kicked 14 points - including three second-half penalties - as the French champions roared back late on. But after so many disappointments in the final - including the 2002 defeat at the same venue - Munster were not to be denied a thrilling victory.
They had to recover from the blow of conceding an early try to dominate the first-half of this tenth Heineken Cup Final. Biarritz had been criticised by some for failing to carry their thrilling form from the French Championship into the knock-out stages of the Heineken Cup. The French champions had managed just one try in 160 minutes, from Sareli Bobo, against Sale Sharks and Bath in the quarter-final and semi-final respectively. But it took them little more than two minutes to find a way through Munster's defence - and it was that man again, Bobo, who tip-toed inside the touchline to score.
Biarritz had Munster under pressure right from the kick off and when Philippe Bidabe shrugged off John Kelly on the narrow side, Fijian Bobo had enough room to squeeze over in the corner to stun the huge Munster contingent. O'Gara narrowed the gap with a seventh-minute penalty and then began the move that saw Halstead lift the roof off the Millennium Stadium by giving Munster the lead. Biarritz looked to have survived a red siege on their try line when they cleared their lines before Anthony Horgan raced onto O'Gara's neat chip. Jerry Flannery and Paul O'Connell burst forward before the ball was worked out wide for Halstead to crash over from close range.
Yachvili levelled the scores with 22nd minute penalty after O'Gara had added the conversion but that could not stop the red machine, by now in fifth gear. The power of the Irish forwards saw Munster rumble their way once more to within ten yards of the Biarritz line but it was a moment of thrifty opportunism that got them over.
Ireland scrum-half Stringer saw opposite number Yachvili out of position and left Serge Betsen grasping air as he rounded the blindside of the scrum untouched to score. O'Gara's conversion put Munster 17-10 ahead before the break and a second penalty gave them the perfect start to the second half. Yachvili kept a cool head to bang over two penalties of his in response, the second after Denis Leamy's high tackle on Imanol Harinordoquy.
That kept this final on a knife-edge with just four points separating the sides and half an hour still to play. Biarritz lost two key players in centre Damien Traille and skipper Thomas Lievremont to injuries but a fourth penalty for Yachvili narrowed the gap to a single point ten minutes from time. But ice-cool O'Gara was calm under pressure in front of goal as Munster held out until the final whistle.

The voluntary absence of the English clubs in season 1998/9 meant Bath were unable to defend the crown they won in that 19-18 thriller, the 16 remaining teams taking part in four Pools of four. French clubs filled top spot in three of the groups but this was to be Ulster's greatest triumph in their history as they beat Toulouse (twice) and reigning French champions Stade Francais on their way to a fairytale final in Dublin against surprise French finalists Colomiers.
A capacity Lansdowne Road crowd of 49,000 paid IR£700,000 to watch a match for which the 'sold out' signs had gone up 10 days earlier. With a worldwide television audience estimated at over 36 millions, Ulster walked off with the spoils after a 21-6 victory to add their name to the roll of honour alongside Toulouse, Brive and Bath.
