Majesty of the High Seas
The Queen Mary 2 harks back to the golden age of liner travel when elegance, luxury and glamour were the only way to cross the ocean
Jack Bettridge
From the Print Edition:
Alec Baldwin, May/June 2004
The largest passenger ship ever built sits alongside the dock in Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades. Security is tight amid unsubstantiated rumors that this brazen ocean liner might be the target of terrorists. Busloads of passengers wait in the parking lot for the call to get in line to go through security. After winding their way though another circuitous line to get cabin assignments, they finally wait to board the Queen Mary 2.
It's the biggest hype in memory surrounding a passenger vessel.
Queen Elizabeth II, England's reigning monarch, has only recently christened the ship, which just completed its first transatlantic crossing amid huge press notice. A network news show has reported daily on its progress and grandeur. Major newsweeklies have run stories. Everywhere one sees its record-breaking stats: 1,132 feet long, the length of nearly four football fields; a tower 203 feet—or 23 stories—above the water line puts passengers eye-to-eye with the Statue of Liberty; a 165-foot beam at the bridge; gross tonnage of 151,400 tons; built at a cost of $800 million.
But as passengers wait to board for their trip, they are entertained not by more news of the superlatives of this bruiser, but by archival photographs of movie stars and other well-heeled swells as they board and disembark from past liners. Young men dressed as bellboys from the 1930s hustle through the lines as part of the preboarding entertainment. A woman in a long dress from the turn of the last century strolls by with a parasol. All serve to emphasize that for all its advancement, the Queen Mary 2 is a throwback to the golden age of liner travel when elegance, luxury and glamour were the only way to cross the ocean. She is not so much being compared with the Queen Elizabeth 2, whose transatlantic crossings she will take over, but to the earlier Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, which sailed the ocean from 1936 to 1967 and 1946 to 1968, respectively.
In an age of cruise ships (pleasure vessels that meander from port to port for amusement as opposed to ocean liners that make crossings as a serious mode of transportation), the QM2 is bucking a lot of conventional wisdom about passenger ships. First, it will make 26 weeklong crossings a year as a main source of revenue. Second, it delivers a rarefied level of luxury in such a huge package (a 2,620-passenger capacity with a 2:1 passenger-to-crew ratio). Many ships deliver similar amenities, but most choose a passenger volume in the hundreds. Third, it mandates the elegance of planned formal dinner nights and a general return to traveling propriety with British decorum. Many ships have no dress codes and you're likely to rub elbows with passengers in sweat suits on buffet lines.
Nevertheless, the QM2 has captured the imagination of the world and returned a feeling of true romance to passenger ships at a time when many still think of them as a diversion for the blue-haired crowd or lovelorn "Love Boat" types. Not only has the QM2 succeeded in capturing advanced bookings of 12 months, but she has drawn interest to the whole industry as well. As the saying goes, the rising tide raises all the boats.
After a downturn following 9/11, cruising has returned and is growing, with its secure combination of travel and amusement in one moving package on which, the industry is fond of saying, you need unpack your bags only once. "For the last couple of years, cruise ships have been the best values that they've ever been and it's not going to stay like that forever," says Micky Arison, chairman of Carnival Corp.' the parent company of the Cunard line, which operates the Queen Mary 2.
While Cunard bills itself as having "the most famous ocean liners in the world," that class of ship is in a shrinking crowd and the line itself is but a pittance of the overall scheme of things for Carnival Cruise Lines, which caters, for the most part, to a less affluent but larger market. Cunard president Pamela Conover insists, "The reason the QM2 captured the imagination of the people has nothing to do with its size. It has to do with the ship. For a company this small to take on a project this big is amazing."
As an Englishwoman, Conover takes national pride in the debut of the Queen Mary 2: "I think we need a great British icon. The Concorde's gone, so we're here."
When Cunard's last great liner, the Queen Elizabeth 2, debuted in 1969, it was the odd-looking duck, a departure from what ocean liners had looked like. While the style until that time was to be sleek with hulls like sunken cheeks and a bow that seemed to be a knife in the water, the Queen Elizabeth 2 was defiantly rounded, especially in the stern, and boasted but one funnel, while the earlier Queens had two or three. The QE2 was all about modernity. The interior design and marketing seemed to force the issue that stuffy tradition would be a thing of the past and cruising would now be a swinging pursuit.

I worked at FTI Consulting full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – As a member of the Strategic Communications practice, I got to interact with and advise the executive leadership of public companies, which was a phenomenal experience. I learned a lot about what motivates corporate decisions, and the advantages/drawbacks/pitfalls of being a CEO. I also learned the value of good communication in any business.
Cons – The company is very large and operates like most large companies. You have to create your own path, there's very little in the way of mentorship or career development in FTI. I was a high-performing employee on the radar's of most managers, and it didn't make a difference. It was frustrating to be surrounded by so many talented individuals and not be able to learn as much from them as they wanted. Also, the pace of change within the organization was glacial.
Advice to Senior Management – Hire a true change management firm to come in and develop a strategy by which to align employees around corporate objectives. "Every business development strategy" is not a viable business strategy, and people simply weren't incentivized enough to accomplish what you asked of them. It also alienates younger talent. FTI must decide if they view their people as a means of replaceable production, or competitive sustainability.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C., Oct. 28, 2012 -- Battling very wet conditions due to Hurricane Sandy, the James Madison women's golf team is tied for 10th late in the second round of the 2012 Palmetto Intercollegiate. The two-day, 54-hole tournament is being played at Oak Point Golf Club (Par 72 - 5,906 yards).
JMU shot a 13-over 301 in the morning round, the sixth-best score of the opening 18, and is currently 18-over in the second round, with all but one golfer completing their rounds due to darkness. The Dukes are tied with host College of Charleston, with No. 35 Campbell holding the lead at 1-over 577, one of just three teams to finish the second round of the 17-team event. East Tennessee State is second at 14-over, with Maryland and Michigan tied for third at 15-over. Coastal Carolina rounds out the top five teams at 17-over.
Junior Ginger Mak (North Point, Hong Kong/The International School of Macao) leads Madison in a tie for 21st, among 94 golfers, at 4-over 148, including an even-par 72 in the opening round. Sophomore Maria Andrea Legaspi (Quezon City, Philippines/St. Paul College-Pasig) is two-shots back at 6-over 150 with a 1-over 73 in the second round.
Sophomore Shabril Brewer (Herndon, Va./Westfield) is tied for 54th at 10-over when her round was suspended, one shot better than freshman Karishma Thiagaraj (Haymarket, Va./Battlefield) at 11-over 155. Sophomore Coty Hudson (Lynchburg, Va./E.C. Glass (Hollins)), playing in her first tournament for JMU, is tied for 94th at 26-over 170.
Teresa Urquizu of Campbell is the individual leader at 3-under 141, one shot ahead of teammate Maria Jose Benavides in second at 2-under 141. Richmond's Tracy Martin is at 1-under through 16 holes of the second round with Elon's Martyna Mierzwa and T. Boonrakasasat of Kansas tied at even-par.
The second round will be restarted at 8:45 a.m. tomorrow with the final 18 holes to follow.

Check out which companies are making headlines before the bell on Friday:
McDonald's - McDonald's reported first quarter profit of $1.26 per share, a penny below estimates. Global comparable sales were down 1 percent for the quarter, with China and Japan weakness helping drive sales in the Asia/Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (APMEA) region down 3.3 percent.
General Electric - GE earned 35 cents per share for the first quarter, matching estimates, with revenues slightly above consensus.
Mondelez, PepsiCo - Nelson Peltz's Trian is making a $2.5 billion investment, splitting it evenly between the two companies.
Dell - Blackstone has dropped out of the bidding to buy the computer maker.
J.C. Penney - CNBC's Kayla Tausche reports that Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Chase are among banks proposing loans of up to $1 billion for the retailer that would be backed by the company's real estate. The company is near closing a separate, $500 million loan backed by its inventory as it buys products for the back-to-school season.
Separately, chief operating officer Michael Kramer has left the company, according to an SEC filing. He will receive a lump sum cash payment of $2.1 million, and his restricted stock units will vest.
IBM - IBM reported first quarter profit of $3 per share, excluding certain items, 5 cents below estimates, with revenues also falling short of consensus. IBM also issued a full-year earnings forecast below estimates, and says it will accelerate the pace of job cuts after sales of software and mainframe computers slowed.
Microsoft - Microsoft earned 72 cents per share for its fiscal third quarter, 4 cents above estimates, with revenues in line with consensus. Separately, the software giant announced that chief financial officer Peter Klein will leave in June after 3-1/2 years in that job and 11 years with the company. Microsoft plans to name a new CFO from within its ranks within the next few weeks.
Google - Google reported first quarter profit of $11.58 per share, above estimates of $10.66, though revenues were slightly short, as prices for online ads on mobile devices drop. However, the rate at which those ad prices are dropping is slowing down.
Baker Hughes - The oilfield services company earned 65 cents per share for the first quarter, three cents above estimates, and has also forecast a modest increase in U.S. rig counts.
State Street - The bank reported first quarter profit of 96 cents per share, three cents above estimates, as it made more money from servicing feeds.
Under Armour - The sports apparel maker earned 7 cents per share for the first quarter, beating estimates by four cents, with revenues beating forecasts as well. The company has increased its 2013 revenue guidance, but the range of $2.21 billion to $2.23 billion is still partially below estimates of $2.23 billion.
Chipotle Mexican Grill - Chipotle reported first quarter profit of $2.45 per share, beating estimates of $2.13. The restaurant chain managed to increase profits despite a significant rise in food prices.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals - The drugmaker reported a successful trial for its experimental cystic fibrosis drug, with improved lung function in patients who took the drug known as VX-661 in combination with an already approved treatment called Kalydeco.
Intuitive Surgical - Intuitive earned $4.56 per share for the first quarter, well above estimates of $3.98. Revenues also beat consensus, but the maker of surgical products narrowed its 2013 revenue growth forecasts. Intuitive has often raised its forecasts over the course of the year, based on increases in procedures using its da Vinci surgical robots.
Advanced Micro Devices - The chipmaker lost 13 cents per share for the first quarter, five cents smaller than estimates. It's also forecasting current quarter revenue above Street consensus, as it deals with declining personal computer sales.
Restoration Hardware - The company beat estimates by three cents with fiscal fourth quarter profit of 64 cents per share, excluding certain items. Revenue was above consensus, as the home products retailer continues to gain market share.
SeaWorld - The theme park operator's shares will begin trading Friday after its initial public offering was priced at $27 per share, above the planned price range. The company will trade under the ticker symbol "SEAS."

I think I've already noted here that I'm rarely, if ever, on the ball. I live in a daydream most of the time, which is alright to the extent that I'm rarely bored with my own company, but it can lead to trouble. Yesterday, for instance, I left a folder containing nearly all of the work (collages and collage materials, zine masters and so on) I have completed over the last two years (while studying a Master of Fine Arts) on a bus, and only realised about two hours ago. Needless to say, I nearly died on the spot, but it's amazing what panic does for your memory. I went from not even remembering having been on a bus yesterday to plotting that day's movements and conversations to the minute, thus arriving at the conclusion that the only place I could have left my work was the 11:50 inward bound 440, and that the precious folder, if it was anywhere, would be at the Leichhardt bus depot. Which, fortunately, it was.
It's not surprising then that back in August when the zine world was discussing the ins and outs of Teal Trigg's book Fanzines, I had spied the book in the window of a certain yuppie designer book/gift shop on King St, Newtown, and smugly thought to myself that, being in said shop, it would be of little interest to me, and promptly forgot about it. Turns out of course that one of my zines is in it, a fact that the author rather dubiously failed to convey to me.
So, in researching (googling) the book I came across this discussion on We Make zines, which pretty much sums up all of the arguments, for and against. To sum up even more succinctly my own views on the matter I can borrow the words uttered by someone at the recent ANG zine fair in Canberra: Triggs fucked up. She only asked a few people for permission to use their stuff before the book was actually published and she rather tardily informed a few other people of their inclusion in the book after it had already gone to print. But it seems that a lot of people, including me, were not contacted at all. The general consensus seems to be that people don't necessarily object to having their zines published or reprinted, but that it was pretty bad form of Triggs not to get permission first, and that not doing so has led to the inclusion of a lot of factual errors in the book, which people are understandably upset about (my own zine, By The Time You're Twenty-Five, is a rather trivial example of one such error: it's described as a 'music zine', but 'perzine' would be more accurate. The book is full of lazy little errors like this, but there are quite a lot more serious ones, too). When I emailed Triggs to ask why she hadn't contacted me, I was fobbed off with some line about 'not having my details at the time'. She even threw in a story about a neglectful assistant who was responsible for contacting me but didn't, to which I say: bollocks. My address is in the zine, and Triggs even linked to the Take Care site on her blog, so she obviously had some inkling of who I am and how my details might be summoned out of the internet ether. It's a shame, because as others have also pointed out, and even though my initial reaction at seeing a coffee table book about zines was to scoff, on finally receiving my free 'contributors' copy I actually do think it's an attractive book. Of course, it had the potential to be so much better, if only Triggs had gone about it properly. But if you can ignore the more or less trite and occasionally plain incorrect essays, and the clumsy system of categorisation Triggs employs, apparently for the sake of creating seamless chapters (in which the Zine World blog is described as an e-zine, and nearly all post '90s zines are lumped in with the 'crafting' phenomenon, a 'phenomenon' I generally feel about as much enthusiasm for as the idea of stabbing myself in the eye with a crochet hook) it does feature a lot of zines (or zine covers at least) from the '70s in particular that I was very excited to see…
(The above was written last November, before my friend Ned passed away and things – like the goings on of the zines community – which now tend to strike me as infinitely insignificant, seemed rather more important. But I am aware that my current lack of interest in things that other people seem to care about is a consequence of grief, so I thought I would go ahead and publish this, primarily to draw your attention to the recent Nobody Cares About Your Stupid Zine Podcast in which various zine luminaries discuss the various problems they have with the book, problems I basically concur with but haven't had the energy to voice, and am therefore thankful that they, and others, have. There is also the anonymously edited fanzinesbytealtriggs.weebly.com, which heroically aims to document all of the errors that appear in the book and to give proper credit where it is due, something which Triggs and her publisher have so far refused to do. It also includes all the contact details for Triggs and said publisher, whom you can write to and request a free copy of the book if your zine appears in it. A complete list of the zines is on the site.)

Several new medications for the treatment of depression have been introduced over the last 20 years. What has been missing is any consistent data about the effectiveness of these "second-generation" antidepressants.
A team of researchers have now reviewed 117 controlled trials to compare second-generation antidepressants for the acute treatment of unipolar major depressive disorder in adults. The medications were reviewed for efficacy (effectiveness), patient acceptability, and cost.

Lighthouse Family Retreat is a wonderful organization, and Road Atlanta is proud to be associated with the Official Charity of Petit Le Mans.
In 2006, total donations to Lighthouse Retreat totaled $33,509 through a variety of events surrounding Petit Le Mans. An original painting by Bill Patterson, who designed the cover for the Petit Le Mans souvenir program, fetched $3,500 at an auction during Dr. Don Panoz' traditional Friday evening VIP dinner at Chateau Élan.
The third annual Petit Le Mans Charity Motorcycle Ride, held Sunday after the race added to the total fund raising efforts, which also included a cash donation from Road Atlanta.
A raffle awarded a new Suzuki motorcycle and a two-day Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School gift certificate to Aaron Coalwell of Austell, Ga. One thousand raffle tickets were sold during the race in a booth in Vendor Village.
The Lighthouse Family Retreat offers a seaside vacation for families of children battling cancer. Based in Roswell, Ga., the Lighthouse Family Retreat has been the Official Charity of Petit Le Mans for three years. SCCA World Challenge driver Dr. Jim Osborn of Ooltewah, Tenn., originally got Road Atlanta involved with the Lighthouse Family Retreat, and he and his wife Amy Jo, direct the fund raising activities, including organization of the Charity Motorcycle Ride.
Tragically, the Osborn family lost their nine-week-old son, Hatch, to cancer on Oct. 19, 2006. The Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer (www.hatcherfoundation.org) was formed in December 2006 and is a non profit 501-c3 corporation. The Austin Hatcher Foundation has partnered with Road Atlanta and Chili Pepper Racing to raise money during the Petit Le Mans weekend to help raise money for the Lighthouse Family Retreat.
The Lighthouse Family Retreat's mission is "to serve children with cancer and their families at a seaside retreat and help them to laugh, restore family relationships and find hope in God. Our hope is that families return home from The Lighthouse and continue their journey with renewed strength, hope and love". For more information, visitwww.lighthousefamilyretreat.org.

Birchbox Breakdown: While 'wash and wear' is fine and dandy for some, curly hair girls know that it takes a bit more effort to get gorgeous hair every day. To that end, Ouidad's Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel is a lifesaver, with a unique formula that responds (read: defrizzes) to humidity. We love how the formula tames frizz and coaxes unruly curls into shape without leaving them crunchy.
I love this product! I use it with a leave-in conditioner and my diffuser. IT keeps my hair from frizzing and makes my curls shiny and not crunchy. Highly recommended!
This product is really all you need. I used to use curling irons to get my curls and waves to look the way I wanted them to, and I always wished I could have "wash and go" hair. This is the first product I've used that let's me finally have that! The great cut I got from the ouidad salon helps, too.
I have course and curly hair. In humidity I look like Bozo the Clown. This gel controls my frizz and leaves it shiny and smooth.
I like this product for my curls. The product goes on light and silky while leaving my hair with a healthy shine and softness.
I have never been able to find a product for my combination curly.wavy hair that doesn't leave it crunchy and limp--until now. This product is a curly hair life saver!
This is a great product. I used it for a while with my curly hair and was quite impressed. I know my sister is always looking for products to control her curls and the frizz caused by the humidity,so I gave half the bottle to her to try. She loved it! She only uses it now if she is going somewhere special.She SAVES it she says! Guess I'll surprise her with her own bottle soon.Or introduce her to BirchBox!
I have VERY curly but fine textured hair. This is my favorite product to give my curls shape and help them keep them. Must be paired with a moisturizing product for me, especially in the winter, but i love the non-crunchy, non-sticky definition this product gives my curls.
I really enjoy using this gel, it does a great job with my unruly curly hair.
Two cons that prevent a 5 star rating for me.
1. I have to use a TON of product to style. I ran through this bottle in almost no time. I think people with curls that can get by with a bit less hold will find this gel to be just perfect.
2. It has dimethicone as an ingredient and doesn't work well with the curly girl method since it can build up.
I can say that it is very easy to work through my hair and reacts very well to diffusing. Bouncy, happy curls!
I have a ton of hair but it is thin and curly. It is very difficult to find a gel that doesn't weigh down my curls or make them frizzy. I went searching when I found out my favorite gel had been retired. I love that this gel lasts and makes my curls soft and bouncy. It is one of my new favorite products!
I like this product. It's good at taming frizz. I have tried a few other products that are better (that i got as other samples from my birchbox!) that i use more.

Oliver Grey
Real Name
Joel Pettyfer
Date of Birth
February 21, 1987
Place of Birth
The backstage gimmick for Antonio Cesaro is that WWE will try to get the fans to beg for a face turn. Management is still secretly passing out Cesaro Section signs to the fans at the live events. The hope is that fans will be clamoring heavily for him to leave Paul Heyman and finally become a good guy. If that works, then he can get his big match against Brock Lesnar in about a year.
April 17, 2014
A video of the match between Wade Barrett and Dolph Ziggler on Monday Night Raw to see who would advance to the next round of the tournament to determine a new contender for Big E Langston and the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Both performers were heavily praised backstage for the match.
April 17, 2014
It was heavily speculated that Brock Lesnar would be taking time off after Wrestlemania 30, and it looks like the rumors are true. WWE has removed him from their list of available performers backstage. There are talks that he could be out until Summerslam 2014, unless management can convince him to work some dates before then.
April 17, 2014
On WWE Main Event, Hornswoggle teamed up with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre, which has caused some speculations to arise. Rumors over the past several weeks have stated that Heath Slater was unhappy backstage because he was not receiving a push. However, his absence on this show was unrelated, as Slater missed the show because he is heading to Saudi Arabia for a tour with WWE.
April 17, 2014
When several of the WWE stars take off for Saudi Arabia this week, Sami Zayn will be joining them. He's the only developmental wrestler going on the tour. WWE wanted to get a better look at him, and some backstage feel that he might have some marketing appeal overseas. There are still rumors floating around that Zayn could be one of the WWE NXT stars to be called up to the main roster in the coming weeks.
April 16, 2014
"I'm as grateful to Sting as anybody in the wrestling business for the benefit he has had in my career. Steve is a great guy and very very smart and just a model citizen as far as the way he conducts himself and how much respect he commands. There are some people who seem to be obsessed with respect and seem to be obsessed with guys not showing them enough respect but Sting is a guy who has never had to pull any stunts, never had to bully anyone, never had to throw his weight around or pull rank; he commands respect. The same could be said about Kurt Angle." - Brutus Magnus discusses how Sting is backstage
April 15, 2014
Older wrestling fans took quite an interest in WWE inducting Carlos Colon into the hall of fame this year. Many were expecting to see some backstage heat incident taking place because there are still many people in the industry who blame Colon for his involvement in the murder of Bruiser Brody. Cooler heads prevailed, and the situation went pretty smoothly for WWE.
April 15, 2014
There has been a bit of a shift in philosophy backstage with Triple H taking over more of the power from Vince McMahon, as the former world heavyweight champion is more inclined to respond to internet wrestling fans by taking jabs through the story lines. For years, McMahon has long avoided any connection with fans online, but HHH likes sending messages to people who complain.
April 14, 2014
A very ugly incident took place over the weekend between Ian Rotten and Jeff Jarrett. According to Rotten, Jeff and Karen Jarrett were intoxicated at his show. A dispute over money came up, which Rotten admits was his fault. Jeff was said to have gone ballistic backstage, threatening Rotten, and even going as far as knocking off the glasses from the face of Rotten's 17 year old son. Jarrett has yet to tell his side of the story.
April 14, 2014
In a sign of just how valued he is within the company, Michael Hayes is still with WWE. He remains a fairly high ranking official for the company and has a big role backstage, even though he has had so many incidents and suspensions. WWE is even tossing around the idea of inducting the Freebirds into the hall of fame during Wrestlemania 32, which is rumored to be held in Texas.
April 14, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 14, 2014
Since the company needs room for all the new stars that they are bringing up from the developmental program, WWE is expected to allow several of the veteran performers to leave the company soon. The belief is that Heath Slater will be allowed to walk once his contract expires. The 3MB member has expressed frustration backstage over not receiving a push.
April 14, 2014
At a live event in Texas over the weekend, Darren Young might have suffered some sort of injury. His match with Fandango was extremely short, and the ending was awkward, as Young was counted out after delivering a flying ax handle. Agents came out to the ringside area to check on Young and helped him limp backstage.
April 13, 2014
Even though the company does not have any plans on pushing him in the near future, Xavier Woods is well liked backstage by many in WWE. He has a genuine enthusiasm for being on the main roster and traveling around the world. Woods is viewed as an asset right now because he is willing to do whatever WWE asks of him.
April 13, 2014
Another name that is rumored to be released by WWE soon is Aksana. While she is on good terms with management now, the backstage relationship has always been up and down. The belief is that the company views her as being expendable and will more than likely allow her to walk once her contract expires. WWE needs room for newer stars.
April 13, 2014
There was actually a push backstage in WWE to have Jim Ross doing commentary at Wrestlemania 30. The legendary performer was penciled in to call the match between Brock Lesnar and Undertaker. WWE opted against the idea because they were concerned that fans might be able to figure out that Undertaker was going to be losing the match since Ross was brought back for the occasion.
April 13, 2014
As of right now, there are plans backstage to give Antonio Cesaro a huge push. Pairing him with a great talker like Paul Heyman was the start of that. There are even those in WWE that are pushing for Cesaro to be pushed high enough over the next year, so that he can be thrown into a match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31, where Heyman would play a pivotal role in the story.
April 12, 2014
A picture of Scott Hall and Ultimate Warrior backstage at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony that took place during Wrestlemania 30 weekend.
April 12, 2014
There are people backstage in WWE that are questioning the Rob Van Dam return, as it almost feels like an afterthought. Aside from taking place on the same episode of Monday Night Raw where so many new stars were introduced, he also worked a match against Damien Sandow, a performer that has rarely been in a featured role in WWE.
April 11, 2014
While he does not receive a ton of praise form his employers, Zack Ryder revealed to WWE fans through this Twitter post that the Ultimate Warrior praised him when they met backstage this past week. Warrior told Ryder that his impersonation is actually better than the real gimmick.
April 11, 2014
WWE has created a new tag team in NXT, consisting of Danny Burch and Oliver Grey.

Colour: like gut
These strings are specifically designed for particularly long diapasons of Archlutes, Chitarrones and Theorbos.Their main feature is certainly their prompt and bright acoustic performance, comparable (as Theorbo diapasons) with that of loaded gutstrings, noticeably superior to that of plain gut. Also to be noted is the remarkable resistance to wear and tear and the stability against climatic changes.
For the first time it is used a special version of new Nylgut, i.e. partially elastic.
The percentage of elasticity introduced in the basic molecule is fully controlled by us and allows an even excellent performance in the low frequencies compared to the NGE strings of old production. Thanks to their flexibility these strings bend without any effort at the bridge holes.

RENO — Construction resumes on a $16 million project to improve South McCarran from Virginia Street to Mira Loma Drive on Sunday at 7 p.m.
Granite Construction is the contractor for the project designed by consultants Wood Rodgers. In 2011, Granite completed the work from Virginia Street to just west of Longley Lane. The work this year includes reconstruction and widening of South McCarran from the existing four lanes to six lanes between Longley Lane and Mira Loma Drive.
For the first few weeks beginning on Sunday, Granite will be working on McCarran at the Longley Lane intersection which will require an alternating closure of half the intersection. Granite will work days and nights, seven days a week. During this time, traffic to and from Longley will be detoured through Airway Drive and Peckham Lane. At minimum, one paved lane in each direction on McCarran will be open to through traffic. Businesses in the area will remain open and will have access to their locations during construction. We encourage the public to visit and support them.
This phase of the project is anticipated to be completed in September 2012. When completed, the new roadway will relieve congestion, increase safety and improve the community aesthetics, which also include the addition of ADA ramps.
For more information, contact the RTC at 335-1869.

Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins: 'Flopping isn't a part of the game'
Four days after his team forced overtime thanks to a late-game flop, Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said that flopping "shouldn't be part of the game."
Hollins' comments came in response to reporters' questions about Tony Allen's fourth-quarter flop, in which he grabbed his head and pretended to writhe in pain after being fouled by the Spurs' Manu Ginobili.
Allen's flop in an 85-81 game with 26 seconds left drew a flagrant foul, allowing the Grizzlies to tie the game. He was fined $5,000 the next day.
The league's new rules for the postseason stipulate that a player be fined $5,000 for a first offense, $$10,000 for the second, $15,000 for the third, $30,000 for the fourth, and be subject to league discipline for any subsequent flops.
From ESPN.com's Kevin Arnovitz:
"Flopping isn't a part of the game and it shouldn't be a part of the game," Hollins said. "That's why we have rules in place. There are probably a few more that could be called on a lot of people still in it."
Hollins made clear that the foul committed by San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili, who grabbed Allen's arm while the Grizzlies guard was airborne, was a flagrant foul irrespective of Allen's subsequent reaction.
"I don't think what happened had anything to do with the referee calling a flagrant foul because he grabbed him out of the air," Hollins said. "Whether he hit his head or didn't hit his head, he grabbed him out of the air, and I don't think that had a bearing, especially when they went and reviewed it, they still called it a flagrant."

Carbon footprint is one of the most debated topics today. There are individuals who believe that their carbon footprint isn't that substantial to cause damage to the environment, while there are also those who believe that lessening carbon footprint is a personal responsibility.
What is carbon footprint anyway?
Carbon footprint is defined as the total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that a person, a group, a product, or even an organization produces. Computing for an accurate amount of carbon footprint produced by a particular entity is next to impossible considering that this requires a vast amount of data. While you may not be able to exactly determine how much GHG you are producing, you can be settled at the thought that you are indeed creating your own carbon footprint whenever you indulge in activities that leads to the production of GHGs.
Now the question is how will you be able to lessen your own carbon footprint?
In order for you to be able to implement ways to lessen carbon footprint, you need to know what activities contribute to the GHGs in the environment.
Burning fuel is among the primary sources of GHGs. This means that power plant operations, along with every other manufacturing plant that relies on fuel to operate, emit greenhouse gases. Transport of goods and services is along among the sources of GHGs. Whenever you drive your car, the combustion that takes place also creates these harmful gases.
What can you do?
Lessening your carbon footprint does not mean that you have to stop driving your car or use electricity. It simply means that you have to be more aware with the rate of your own energy consumption.
- Turn off and unplug appliances whenever they are not in use. The less energy you consume, the lesser amount of fuel will be burned from power plants.
- Make it a point to purchase items in a single location so that you would not need to drive your car around from one place to another.

Marshall basketball: Herd glad to put road losing streak behind it
HUNTINGTON - The Marshall men's basketball team hopes familiarity will boost its chances Saturday when it hosts the University of Alabama at Birmingham at 7 p.m. That would piggyback the jolt it got from Wednesday night, when the Thundering Herd finally snapped its season-long road losing streak with an 82-70 win at the University of Central Florida.
"It really felt like it was a boulder holding us down," senior forward Dennis Tinnon said. "We could not get a road win for some reason. That just felt great. You could tell with everybody. Everybody was into it."
The Herd (12-15, 5-7 Conference USA) had lost nine straight true road games this season before turning away the Knights with a balanced performance. Elijah Pittman scored 20 points to lead Marshall, which led by as many as 22 against UCF, while DeAndre Kane scored 19 with seven assists, D.D. Scarver scored 16 and Tinnon recorded his 20th career double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds.
It was one of, if not the best offensive night the Herd has enjoyed this season. Marshall shot a season-high 54.2 percent from the floor, making 21 of 35 shots (60 percent) in the first half. It scored 48 points in the paint and 18 in the fast break. Marshall Coach Tom Herrion said it was a deserved win for a team that hadn't quit battling for that first road victory.
"I think there was relief," Herrion said. "These kids have been banging the drum. We haven't scratched. We scratched. It took us a long time - too long, as I told our kids - but I give them a lot of credit. They haven't wilted. They haven't buckled and they reaped the benefits of their labors."
For Marshall to pull off its second straight win, something the Herd hasn't done since winning three straight between Nov. 24 and Dec. 1, Herrion said the team must play much better than the first time it faced the Blazers. After Wednesday's win, Herrion gave his staff a break and let them head to bed while he popped in Marshall's UAB game film.
"And then I couldn't sleep," Herrion said. "We were so bad. I could not believe how bad we were. What I learned was we can, I guess, play worse than we did at UAB, but I don't think we can play much worse."
Marshall allowed UAB to make nine of 16 3-pointers in Birmingham in the Blazers' 75-61 win Feb. 9. The Herd committed 17 turnovers and was outrebounded 33-22 as it trailed by as many as 22 in that game.
"That happens with lack of focus and lack of being physical," Tinnon said. "If you don't play like you're supposed to, you can lose to anybody."
The Herd played like it was supposed to against UCF. Both Herrion and Tinnon praised the team's ball movement, and how making the extra pass led to much better scoring opportunities. Tinnon said his team's performance against the Knights - both wins, actually - reminded everyone of the heights they could reach. The mission now is to keep that momentum rolling into the C-USA Tournament for one last stab at an NCAA Tournament berth.
Despite Marshall's season record, that goal remains at the front of Tinnon's mind. He helped the Herd reach the NIT last season for the first time since 1988 and he doesn't want to leave Marshall without taking the team even farther.
"Right now, it's do or die for us," Tinnon said. "This is going to give us the spark to keep going. We've got to start somewhere. This is a start to where we can open a lot of eyes, where people can say, 'Wow, why did they wait so long?'"
