Numerical Study on Rapid Solidification of a Plasma-Sprayed Cast Iron Splat on a High-Temperature Substrate

|Bonding, Cast Iron, Plasma Spraying, Substrate Temperature
In this work, an experiment was performed to demonstrate the possibility of the metallurgical bonding in plasma-sprayed cast iron coatings at high substrate temperature. A quantitative analysis of splat cooling and rapid solidification of cast iron splat is then presented. The effect of the substrate temperature on the development of melt undercooling within the splat is investigated in detail. The results indicated that the initial substrate temperature has a profound effect on the development of melt undercooling in a splat, the splat bottom melt temperature, and the substrate surface temperature. A high initial temperature of the substrate restrains the cooling of the splat and leads to a high melt temperature that may promote the grain growth directly on cast iron substrate surface to form the metallurgical bonding.

Back in 1940, the Works Progress Administration built Fraser Field as a baseball diamond for Lynn kids who played high school ball. Few could envision that in the coming decades it would host the likes of future hall of famers Ted Williams and Roy Campanella, and Lynn teens — including Harry Agganis, Tony Conigiliaro, and Ken Hill — who would go on to the big leagues.
Last week, Lynn announced that it will spend $300,000 on new artificial turf at Fraser — a move that will shore up the stadium's infrastructure, cut maintenance costs, and allow for fewer rain-canceled games.

text: I have a question?? The employee of a local gas station in my town refused to sell me tobacco products. I was going to buy it for a friend who forgot his I.D. at home. My friend went to buy it first but had forgotten he didnt have his I.D. on him. Soo they refused him service, but when i presented my I.D. they also refused me service, saying i was buying it for someone else and had every right to refuse service to whoever so they pleased. I was wondering is that legal to do?? They had no idea if i was going to give it to him or have it for my own personal use. Could that be discriminating against me for an assumption they had on the matter at hand??

This is a commented list of players that I believe we're not going to see playing for Chelsea next season. Hope you enjoy!
Paulo Ferreira: After almost 10 years in the club, the time for the portuguese right back has finally come. He's not a first team regular since 2010, when Ivanovic and Bosingwa got injured and he had to play some matches under Ancelotti's control. He played a very solid match under Di Matteo's management, against Benfica in Portugal, his last great game for us. After this, he can't even be a reserve; he made bad appearences against weak oppositions, like Boro and Rubin Kazan. He's 34 and he's running out of contract. There's no reason to renew it, so, it's to go. The only doubt is: what is next for Paulo? Retirement, with a farewelll match in Stamford Bridge and a party with lots of strippers, cocain and drinking champagne with Mourinho? Going back to Portugal? Playing for a small team in EPL? Assistent manager? Time will tell
Yossi Benayoun: Came in 2010, a reposition for Joe Cole's exit. At time, he was a bench warmer in Liverpool, an old player in decay. An injury made him unavaliable almost all season. After, played on loan for Arsenal and West Ham, then was resurrected in a black magic ritual by the witch Albus Dumblenitez. He's playing the current season, but not good. His only good appearence was against Rubin Kazan, in Stamford Bridge, a Euro League match. He's 33 next May 5 - like everybody says, your life change after you're 33. He will run out of contract when 33, so we will never see him again. Thank you Jesus!!
Henrique Hilário: 37 years old, our very own Zanetti. 7 years playing for Chelsea. A Mourinho indication for third goalkeeper in 2006, Hilário was last seen in the beginning of the AVB era, when Cech had an injury and missed the first matches in the season. Oh, he also appeared in the marketing campaign of our new kit, for 2013-2014 season, showing the goalkeeper kit along with Cech. He's running out of contract and he's very, very old. He isn't in Chelsea level, but I guess can still play some years for smaller teams. I guess he will not retire, but also, will not stay in Chelsea; unless he got a job as a model, testing new goalkeeper kit. I can even think about a fashion brand with his name: Henri Hilary's lifestyle
Ross Turnbull: Came in 2010 after the departure of Cudicini A former Boro goalkeeper, Turnbull earned chances against Internazionale in Champions League, where both Cech and Hilario were injured. He conquered the post of imediate Cech reserve after a bizarre Carling Cup start in 2011 where he catched about 223 penalty kicks. But it wasn't enough; Turnbull always seemed insecure when starting for Chelsea. He's running out of contract too, is 27 and our board doesn't seem to make any move to renew it. We will need reservers goalkeepers; we have a lot of good ones playing on loan, and Jamal Blackman. They can do better than Turnbull and Hilário.
Florent Malouda: He still had contract. But won't be, after the end of the season. That means we won't have to pay his big wages anymore, so, our annual payroll will breathe - that same applies for any player that will go out of contract. His career in Chelsea had ups and downs, but generally, it was worth it signing him.
Marko Marin: The tiny Marko Marin came even before the 2011-12 season finished. Everybody was so happy with his signing, probably because it came just after we eliminate Barcelona in the Champions League - even Heskey would sound a great signing after that. Marin failed to impress, failed even to be a rotation player in the squad. His marking is very bad compared to, for example, Moses. He is small, but not fast. He mistakes simple passes and loses a lot of balls. But still young. With the arriving of Schurlee, it's probable that Marin will leave in loan in the next summer. Then we'll hope that he can recover, or he would be another parasite in the payroll of the club.
Fernando Torres: He had a bad season. Scored 20 goals in a 320523052304234023 chances. It sounds terrible, but when people see statistics, they just see the good numbers. 20 goals and some assists. It's necessary for some crazy russian club sign him. I don't think we'll find trouble in getting rid of him. Even a negociation with Atletico de Madrid for Falcao could happen, it's not impossible. Fact that Torres is one of the worst Chelsea players in the current squad - if he receives 5 balls in a match, he will lose 6 of them. So, I'm very hopeful that this will be the last "El Niño" season at CFC.
Frank Lampard: It's very sad to write, but I think there's 95% of chances for him to leave. The 5% would be an requirement of Jose Mourinho - but I don't even think Mou will come back... Emelano has made his mind, and his decision is to let one of our biggest legends go...
Did I forget anyone? Comment!

For weeks after the firing of Mike Leach as football coach of Texas Tech University, and through all of the surrounding controversy, I was angry and focused only on this subject matter. During the Christmas Holidays and New Year's Eve, a certain pall loomed over me as I could not separate myself from Red Raider football. Writing this was my therapy, and I thought I'd share it with others that felt similarly.
As it relates to Tech football and the recent controversy, few things frustrate me more than when it is suggested that I "move on". "Mike Leach is gone, he's never coming back, and this is just a game. Why don't you just get a life"! When I hear this chatter, it angers and frustrates me.
For those who are in the just "move on" camp, I hereby claim you didn't like Mike Leach and don't support him. And if that's true, then by any standard you really cannot claim to be a loyal Tech football fan. For you cannot love Tech football and dislike Mike Leach. Don't waste your time trying to persuade me otherwise, it won't work.
So why do I feel this way? I'm a 1980 Tech graduate, and except for my freshmen year in 1976 when Tech climbed to #3 in the polls having beaten ranked UT and A&M to finish the season 10 -2, there's been little to cheer about until Mike Leach arrived. After the 1977 football season, Tech had only 1 winning season over the next 8 years compiling an abysmal record of 31 – 53 - 4 through 1985. From 1986 to 1999, the last year of Spike Dykes and the year before Mike Leach arrived, Tech's record was 89 - 71.
In other words, since my freshmen year in 1976, until the year before Mike Leach coached, Tech's combined record over the course of 23 seasons was 133 wins, 134 losses and 4 ties. That's a winning percentage of .4901%. In other words, there was very little to cheer about, very little to get excited about, and quite frankly, as it related to Tech football, just very little.
Enter Mike Leach. His tenure ended after 10 years with Tech with a record of 85 - 45, for a winning percentage of .664%. He has taken Tech to a bowl game in each of his 10 years, with a combined bowl record of 6 – 4 (including the 2010 Alamo Bowl). Mike Leach is one of only sixteen active college football coaches who have never had a losing season. Of those, he is among nine who have been a head coach for at least five seasons.
With the implementation of his Air Raid spread offense, Leach created perhaps the most exciting offense in college football history, rivaling the wishbone of the 1960's and 1970's. In fact, over the course of his 10 years, Tech was the most prolific offense in college football. His QB's litter the NCAA record books on just about every category, including the #1 and #2 ranks for single season passing yards (Symons and Harrell). The list goes of NCAA record holders goes on and on with Tech entries. This is unprecedented!
So what's so special about that? What's so special about Tech football during the Leach era? Everything. There's a reason why Texas Tech gained national prominence, why ESPN was camped-out with Tech 3 weeks in a row for ESPN Gameday. There's a reason why the New York Times ran several major lead articles on Mike Leach and Tech football. The press continued with the USA Today, Texas Monthly, and throughout national television broadcasts. For the 2008 season, "the catch" – that is Michael Crabtree's catch of a Graham Harrell pass, while shedding two Texas defensive backs, to score the game-winning touchdown with 3 seconds left – was named the greatest play for the 2008 college football season. "CrabGrab" became a household name.
Pirate-mania took on a whole new dimension. Sure Johnny Depp portrayed Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean", but the most famous pirate of all was Mike Leach. Tech football crowds, at home and on the road, filled stadiums with a gruesome display of pirate faces resembling the now deceased Heath Ledger as the Clown Prince of Crime in "Dark Knight".
Mike Leach was an odd ball, a man with weird peculiarities, crazy idiosyncrasies, and an orthodoxy that few could understand, but most were amused. A lawyer who never played football but decided he wanted to become a coach, and in that pursuit, coached a semi-pro team in Finland. Leach is not polished like a Mack Brown or a Jim Tressel, or even a Bob Stoops. He's his own man; a man that when he opens his mouth he speaks as if he's taking the garbage out, or cleaning the garage. His conversation skips from subject to subject, randomly, absurdly non-sequitur, as if he's sifting through years of keepsakes stored in his attic. If college football coaches are the "city", Mike Leach is the tent in the prairie – way out there, and all alone. Just as he prefers.
So, Tech had a great, memorable season in 2008. But that happens nearly every year in college football. Why did Tech become such a national sensation? Because it was Texas Tech University. Actually, before it was Tech, it was Texas Technological University, a small school with four colleges best known for its agricultural programs. Tech became prominent because this agricultural school - located in the dusty plains in the panhandle of Texas, where cotton and dust storms rule, where Willie Nelson's "momma don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys" is fightin' words, and Wranglers, boots and a belt buckle larger than a hubcap are common - is coached by a mad genius that happens to have the most advanced passing game and offensive attack in the country.
Yes, spirals flinging straight as arrows in the plains past fields of cotton, moving faster than tumbleweeds during a red sandstorm in the spring. A tier 3 college, a second-rate institution in a small West Texas town featuring the most feared, the most prolific and most modern passing game in college football?
Mike Leach and Texas Tech achieved all of this with athletes considered too slow and too small by the major Big 12 powerhouses such as Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M. In fact, in the 10 years during Mike Leach's coaching career at Tech, he never had a recruiting class rated in the top 40. So, when you can't beat em' you out work them. And that he did. Mike Leach demanded more out of his athletes than almost any coach in the country. His philosophy was if you can't out-recruit them you can sure out-work them. And as his teams got better, he slowly recruited better athletes, and he won more big games. He presented a passing game that had no trick plays. Everyone knew what Tech was going to do (pass). He didn't care if the opposing coaches picked up his play signals – that didn't matter. Heck, he'd probably give you his playbook if you asked. Well, it wasn't really a playbook, but rather a small laminated card with a handful of plays on it – nothing larger than the cocktail napkin from which Southwest Airlines was born.
And on Halloween night in 2008, on the season's biggest stage, in one of the most storied college football games, and an instant ESPN Classic, the Pirate shocked the college football world as Texas Tech University beat the #1 ranked Texas Longhorns in what Tech fans remember as the greatest win in Texas Tech history.
So, back to the question of why I can't "move on"? Because Mike Leach is Texas Tech football, and Texas Tech football is Mike Leach. He made Tech relevant. He made Tech a household name. He was the Pirate, the odd genius, the weird scientist, the strange guy that took small, slow athletes that no one else wanted and created the Air Raid spread offense that turned college football upside down. And in doing this, he won, and won big, going to a bowl game in each of his 10 years, with a winning record in each year, becoming the most successful football coach in Tech history. Finally, Tech football had a brand, and Tech fans had a product it could relish. For once, the dusty plains became The Dusty Plains, Home of the Texas Tech University Red Raiders.
Yes, Leach is gone, and whether I like it or not, I have to move on. I'm glad we have a coach of the caliber of Tuberville, and it seems he has put in place a competent staff. But for me, The Pirate will live forever. He made Tech football. He made Tech football successful, and relevant. Long Live The Pirate! God speed. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

WEST REGION INVITATIONAL: Bruins 8th of 10 after Day One of Southwestern Tourney
GEORGETOWN, Texas - Taking on some of the top teams in the NCAA Division III, the George Fox University Bruins stand eighth out of 10 teams after the first day and first two rounds of the West Region Invitational Men's Golf Tournament, hosted by Southwestern University, Monday here at the Berry Creek Country Club.
Playing two rounds of the three-round tournament in one day, host Southwestern holds a 12-stroke lead after shooting a seven-over-par 302-301=603 on the par-72, 6,600-yard course. Concordia University (Texas), which has been getting votes in the Golf Coaches Association of America D-III national poll, is second with a 310-305=615, while 21st-ranked Trinity University (Texas) is third with a 313-308=621.
Close behind are Millsaps College (309-313=622), LeTourneau University (310-315=625), Texas Lutheran University (320-313=633), and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (326-311=637), the latter also listed among "others receiving votes" for the D-III Top 25. Rounding out the field are George Fox (328-323=651), Willamette University (346-333=679), and the University of Dallas (343-352=695).
Aleks Gabrio posted the top score for the Bruins with a 79-82=161, tying for 33rd. Mike Ulstad shot a 79-83=162 and is tied for 36th, while Chris Lumsden had an 87-79=166, tied for 44th. Kyle Wilson carded a 92-79=171 to tie for 51st, with Tyler Dyck scoring an 83-91=174 and tying for 53rd.
Jack Cersosimo of Concordia is the individual leader after two rounds with a one-under-par 73-70=143. Chasing him are Lewis Peters of Millsaps with a 71-74=145, Cameron Button of Southwestern with a 75-71=146, and James Charles of Southwestern (76-72=148) and Bryce Myburgh of Mary Hardin-Baylor (72-76=148).
The third and final round of the West Region Invitational will be Tuesday, with first tee times scheduled for 8:00 a.m. Central time.
Complete results of the first day of play in the West Region Invitational, courtesy of the Southwestern sports information office, are available on the George Fox men's golf website at http://athletics.georgefox.edu/sports/mgolf/2011-12/files/0409.pdf.

Parents may refer to their teens' behavior as "13 going on 30." But in the case of Liam Digby, narrator of Frank Cottrell Boyce's hilarious new novel, Cosmic, Liam doesn't so much act like a 30-year-old as look like one. The results are out of this world. Literally.
It's not just that Liam is tall. There's the matter of his facial hair, which first becomes an issue during the Year Six trip to Enchantment Land. Liam is the only one in class tall enough for the Cosmic, a ride that generates 4g—four times the gravitational force exerted by the Earth. He loves the ride so much the class leaves without him. When his dad returns, the ride operator can't believe Liam is a kid. "It's not his height; it's his beard."
From then on, Liam discovers certain advantages to being mistaken for an adult. At a Liverpool shopping center, he passes as Florida Kirby's dad. They explore to their hearts' content without security guards thinking that they're "unaccompanied children."
And once you have that kind of success, why stop at shopping centers? Why not pop into the Porsche showroom? Why not, come to think of it, respond to a contest for the World's Best Dad, to win a trip to Infinity Park in China and experience the Biggest Thrill Ride in the History of the World—the Rocket?
Eventually Liam manages to secure a place as the "responsible adult" on the first spaceship to take five kids into space. This is the cosmic experience he's been waiting for—except for a slight malfunction that causes the Earth to disappear. Luckily, Liam and his crew are not without resources to solve the problem.
Boyce's previous books include Framed and Millions, which was made into a wonderful film. Cosmic includes a promotional partnership with NASA and a contest in which a family of four gets a behind-the-scenes tour of Johnson Space Center.
Real trips into space won't be part of the prize, though—at least, not just yet.
Deborah Hopkinson's new books for young readers include Michelle and First Family, both illustrated by AG Ford.Copyright 2010 BookPage Reviews.
The hero of Boyce's enchanting third novel has grown a bit over the summer. "Seven inches is not a spurt," his father says. "Seven inches is a mutation." Having facial hair and the height of an adult is a nuisance for 12-year-old Liam, until he realizes he can pass for a grownup. The charade escalates into danger when Liam passes himself off as his own father and wins a trip to a new theme park in China with his friend Florida, where they will be the first to experience an out-of-this-world new thrill ride. "The Rocket" turns out to be a real rocket, and the novel opens with Liam and four other kids literally lost in space. What follows is a hilarious and heartfelt examination of "dadliness" in all its forms, including idiotic competitiveness and sports chatter, but also genuine care and concern. Luckily for the errant space cadets, Liam possesses skills honed playing World of Warcraft online--yes, here is a novel, finally, that confirms that playing computer games can be good for you. A can't-miss offering from an author whose latest novel may be his best yet. Ages 8-12. (Jan.)[Page 59]. Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
Gr 5-8--Although Liam Digby is a typical kid who loves World of Warcraft video games and theme-park rides, his physical appearance is closer to age 30 than 12. Looking like an adult is challenging, but it can be useful. He learns about an experimental project to create the ultimate thrill ride--sending a select group of kids into space. He figures that he has no chance to be one of the chosen youngsters, so he decides to apply as the in-flight father chaperone. After recruiting his friend Florida to pose as his daughter, Liam has to compete with three other candidates to get the job. Although he has brushed up on his "dad skills," it isn't always easy to stay in character. The men are pompous, boring--and not above cheating to get ahead. Meanwhile, Florida has very firm notions of how her "dad" ought to behave and she isn't sure that Liam measures up. Eventually, the project director selects Liam for the space flight, precisely because of his "childlike quality," and the project kids start to look to him as a father figure--even Florida. Then, when an accident sends the rocket out of control, Liam has to assume the adult responsibility of getting them all back safely. Beneath the entertaining science-fiction adventure is a strong theme of individual maturity. While the real grown-ups are self-centered and childish, Liam takes charge with surprisingly mature courage. Readers will appreciate the sharp, realistic, and very funny dialogue as well as Liam's technique of solving real-world problems using his role-playing-game expertise.--Elaine E.

I am so sorry to learn that Mignon has passed away. We were good friends in our college days, so long ago at Mt St Mary's. We sang in choirs together, and sang just for fun, too. I still remember that gorgeous voice of hers. My sincerest sympathies to the loved ones she leaves behind.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Mignon Veasley-Fields. I am so sorry for your loss. Mignon was such a wonderful, strong, classy lady. I knew her when we both worked for Price Waterhouse in the Downtown, LA office (prior to the merger with Coopers & Lybrand). I was so sad to learn of her health issues and now her death. I pray for comfort and strength for her husband, children and grandchildren.
May God keep you in the palm of His Hand, Mignon, and may you rest in peace!
In sympathy,
Peggy Brizuela

Which requires a bigger ego, believing that you personally have been singled out and chosen by God for some special purpose, or believing that your entire ethnic group (race, family, whatever) has been singled out by God for some special purpose? Believing you're chosen by God may be personally fulfilling, but believing you belong to an entire group that's chosen by God means you're part of a larger, divinely-ordained movement and group. Either way, you are raised up out of the masses.
Unfortunately, there are always others out there who try to make the same claim: there are other individuals who insist that God has actually chosen them for some other task and there are groups of people who insist that they are God's chosen people. Just how many "chosen people" can there be? Given how mutually incompatible their claims are, they can't all be chosen. Even worse, their basis for claiming to be chosen often rests on ancient documents created by nomads who had barely a fraction of the knowledge of the world we have now. Why are such claims treated as credible, except that they tell people what they want to hear?
People who think they are somehow specially chosen by God sometimes exhibit a contempt for the standards of behavior expected from the non-chosen people. This isn't hard to understand because if you really have been singled out by God for a special job, then why should you let the mundane rules that apply to others create barriers for you? God has a job or goal for you and you shouldn't let anything stand in your way, should you?
Although every ill caused by religion can also be caused by secular ideologies, this is one of the factors which separates religions from secular ideologies and makes the harm they cause much worse. No secular ideology encourages the belief that one should be committed to a task that is approved of or desired by gods. This is a problem because it makes compromise and change far more difficult — if you sincerely believe in a god and sincerely believe that it has given you a job, then compromise means compromising on this god's wishes and that's just not acceptable. Even the most dogmatic secular ideology allows a bit more room for compromise and none encourage the idea that any gods have singled you out as special.

Like Dick Bremer, It appears that Hawk Harrelson can see the future. Basically the strangest thing about this story is that Hawk claims that he predicted the results of the last few White Sox seasons correctly. But the shocking part is that he predicts that Adam Dunn will be the American League Comeback Player of the year in 2012. Earth to Hawk, have you forgotten about Joe Mauer? He will have something to say about that race next season.

Includes Companion eBook Containing the Full Text of the Book
Fighting the Flying Circus is a collection of memoirs by Eddie V.
Rickenbacker, a World War I fighter ace and Medal of Honor recipient,
originally published in 1919.
"John Pruden . . . happens to have one of those golden voices. . . . This was a fascinating book. . . . I always thought Eddie Rickenbacker was larger than life. This combat diary added an unexpected touch of humility to him. I highly recommend this book to any reader interested in the history of the United States Air Force." ---Major Joel Rudy, USAF
"Pruden's performance brings out the author's competiveness and cockiness as well as his recognition of his inexperience. Rickenbacker's story shows the ability of the American soldier to adapt to combat." ---AudioFile
This Tantor classic includes a companion PDF eBook!

While many are speculating about how football-related brain injury may have contributed to Junior Seau's death, I wonder if social stigma about mental health may have kept him from opening up about and receiving treatment for emotional pain. As more details of his death emerge, signs indicate that his death by gunshot wound was a […] [Read More]

Over the past 48 hours we've shown you some of the over-land flooding happening in Logan.
Tonight, the Mouse River is up six feet since Saturday.
Here at the Logan Bridge, water is spreading out over farm land and lapping at the base of the bridge.
Burt Waggoner moved to the area just over a year ago when his company was assisting with repairs ON the Logan Bridge after the 2011 flood.
His family has decided to make this spot their home - they plan to finalize the purchase next month.
Waggoner says the family went to bed on Saturday feeling comfortable - but the view from the porch on Sunday morning was quite different.
They've spent the day packing what they can and hoping for the best.
(Burt Waggoner, Logan Resident) "It's been an eye opener for us on how much it can come up in a day's time. Basically we'll just stay on high ground until the last minute. If we have to go we have to go."
The Mouse River at Logan is expected to crest overnight tonight.
Here's Jim again with a look at all of the crest projections.
Truck still considered to be a "vehicle of interest" in fatal crash.
A two-year-old child was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Minot this evening.

Michael Wilbon wrote a column about diabetes and athletes today in the Washington Post.
I love Michael Wilbon (especially since he picked us to go to the Final Four on PTI in the 2006-07 season before the tournament started)
Undoubtedly, the diagnosis Freeman received recentlymust have scared him half to death. It scares all of us, me two years ago at 49 when doctors told me I had Type 2 diabetes and would have to change my lifestyle forever . . . or else. Freeman, his diagnosis so new, probably hasn't even gotten to the point at which he's formulating complicated questions. But he will. And he's going to hear from doctors, from friends and neighbors and perhaps even relatives who have the disease that diabetes should not slow him down, should not limit his life's options, should not make him infirm or physically unable to pursue most, if not all, of his passions.

Reports of two violent crimes within weeks at Vicksburg's City Park have officials looking at safety and security there.
The Vicksburg Post reports that a free-for-all involving more than 100 people at the park pavilion on June 21. Last Monday, two teens leaving the skate park were held up.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen discussed both incidents in a secret session Wednesday. Mayor George Flaggs Jr. had a conflicting meeting.
The mayor says his nominee for police chief is certified in a program called Neighborhood Enhanced Training, which involves creating a unit to combat youth violence.
North Ward Alderman Michael Mayfield says the area has problems with fights among teens.
Police Chief Walter Armstrong says most calls there are for minor fights and misbehavior.

Appearing to be head-to-toe in hockey gear, the Rockland Regulars earned a flash on TV today for making the trek all the way to Tampa to provide the Devs with some extra bodies as they took on the Lightning.

German Olympic champion equestrian rider Ingrid Klimke talks to CNN about her Beijing gold and London 2012.
Authorities will have to await a necropsy to find out killed one of the equine world's top athletes, a stallion named Hickstead.
With Olympic berths available in some sports and athlete fields ranging from secondary to top shelf, the Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, wrapped up last weekend, featuring athletes from the Americas competing in Olympic sports less than a year out from the London Games. Here are some of the highlights:
The elite equestrian suffered a concussion and fractured spine
The powerful Brazilian men's volleyball team confirmed its supremacy by winning the world championship in Rome on Sunday. Brazil downed the young, eighth-seeded Cubans in the finals 25-22, 25-14, 25-22 to avenge a loss to Cuba in the preliminary round of play. Serbia defeated host Italy to win bronze, three games to one.
Just three weeks after the U.S. men's basketball team defeated host nation Turkey in the finals of their world championship, the U.S. women's team knocked off the hosts from the Czech Republic, 89-69, to capture the women's title in Karlovy Vary on Sunday. Angel McCoughtry led the U.S. with 18 points and Diana Taurasi added 16. The victory also gave the U.S. squad an automatic berth in the tournament at the London Olympics.
Apple Martin and Lola Consuelos saddle up in the Hampton Classic Horse Show
British model and television personality Katie Price, also known as Jordan, and her singer husband, Peter Andre, are to separate, according to a statement released Monday.
Norwegian Tony Andre Hansen has been stripped of his Olympic showjumping bronze medal -- and banned for our-and-a-half months by the International Equestrian Federation -- after his horse tested positive for a banned substance at the Beijing Games.
Germany's Christian Ahlmann is the latest leading equestrian rider to be disqualified from the Beijing Olympics for a positive drug test on his horse.
Tests for doping will be front and center at the Olympic equestrian events in Hong Kong. CNN's Andrew Stevens reports.
The equestrian competition at the Beijing Olympics has been hit by a major doping scandal involving four horses and their riders, including a bronze medal winner.
Young British show-jumping rider Ben Maher is refreshed, having just returned from the opening ceremonies of the Olympic equestrian events in Hong Kong. Before he left England to make the long first-time trip to Hong Kong, he was named a new Scout Association award recipient for equestrian excellence.
Jumping shadows is not on the agenda for Canadian rider Jill Henselwood in this summer's equestrian competitions. Night-time jumping is not common for North American teams, which rarely have evening competitions, unlike their counterparts in Europe.
Dr. Chris Riggs may have the easiest way to explain how Hong Kong will successfully stage the equestrian events at this year's Summer Olympics.
How a Hong Kong philosophy student became the city's anti-Olympic poster child
Wang Xin and Chen Ruolin continued China's dominance in the diving, winning the women's 10-meter synchronized competition for the host nation's third victory fromj three events.
Officers in Hong Kong removed a student who tried to display a Tibetan flag during an Olympic event Saturday.
A champion rider and her pony would have won hearts at the Olympics. But now Karen O'Connor is on the sidelines
Zara Phillips' Olympic hopes are in tatters after being forced to withdraw from the Beijing Games because of an injury to her horse Toytown.
Zara Phillips, a member of the British royal family, has been selected to compete in the equestrian events at the Beijing Olympics.
Great Britain's Olympic athletes are choosing a gambling mecca in southern China over Beijing as a place to train and rest until just prior to their events during the 2008 Summer Games, a British team official says.
As Heidi Lemack-Beck rides her horse Jazzmine around the arena at Rhythm & Blues Stables in Allentown, N.J., six pairs of electronic eyes watch every move of these skilled competitors. Heidi quickens the pace of the 16-year-old mare from a trot to a canter, and the cameras swivel to track them - or rather to track the cracker-sized RFID tag stuck to the top of Heidi's helmet.
The Asian Games was struck by tragedy on Thursday as a South Korea competitor was killed during the three-day event equestrian competition.
Zara Phillips emulated the 1971 victory of her mother the Princess Royal by winning the European Eventing Championships and helping Britain to a sixth successive team title.
Ireland's only medalist at the 2004 Athens Games must hand back his Olympic showjumping gold after his horse, Waterford Crystal, tested positive for banned substances.
Germany, stripped of two equestrian golds in Athens, will almost certainly lose a third title after two of its show jumping horses failed dope tests.
The offices of Ireland's equestrian governing body were broken into on Monday night after the alleged theft in England of a doping test sample from the horse that helped Ireland claim its only Olympic gold in Athens.
Defending champions Serbia and Montenegro were eliminated from the men's Olympic volleyball tournament after a thrilling encounter with Russia.
Germany has been stripped of the two gold medals it won in Wednesday's equestrian three-day eventing competition in a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Nicolas Massu stayed on course to win Chile's first Olympic gold medal after defeating Taylor Dent 7-6 6-1 in the semifinals of the men's tennis singles.
Germany won gold, lost it and then had it reinstated as they were finally declared winners in the team equestrian three-day event at the Athens Games.
The Olympic Games returned to their birthplace in Greece after 108 years. This is an archive of all related stories on CNN.com:

Excellent Deal

Pros: Painless. It just plain works. The call quality is indistinguishable from my local AT&T service (i.e., it's excellent)Cons: Haven't encountered any.Summary: See "Pros" above. There seem to be so few companies these days that provide service that just works. The best thing a company can do is offer a service that works without you having to think about it. I've used ECG for over 3 years now and haven't had a single problem. I set up the auto pay ("EasyPay) service using my debit card. No problems, period. I didn't rate Cust. Service because I've never had to contact them.

Ease of use way a major factor in deciding what service to go with. He does not make alot of long distance calls but wanted to be able to call his brother and my 2 siblings occasionally. Automatically paying his very small long distance bill makes for one less thing I have to worry about. All in all I would recomend this service to anyone needing a seperate long distance plan.

ECG Long Distance Phone Service
Overall Rating:By: Ron Lovell on Wednesday, March 11, 2009

From: Orcutt, CA (United States)
Experience: 3 Months
Pros: Best rate, easy sign-up.Summary: I contacted my brother who is in the long distance business to get the best rate. He said 5.9 cents per minute for California was the best he could do and that was the "bro" deal. I checked around and found ECG. I didn't need paper statements and just wanted the charges put on my credit card, so it is perfect for me. My brother is mad, but now I have the $$$ to buy him a beer!

Experience: 3 Months
Pros: no hidden fees, no charge if not used, only charged for actual minutes used Cons: noneSummary: I've been using ECG as my long distant carrier for three months. So far, I have been very happy with ECG. I pay for nothing except the long distant minutes I use. I receieve an email showing my monthly usage. Charges are automatically paid. No paper work and no hassles. ECG is so much cheaper than other long distant carriers. Anyone wanting to save money on thair long distant calls, should switch to Ecg. Give it a try!

Long Distance - Did you know?We do not list plans with rates that differ by time of day or day of the week.
Each plan may only offer two separate rates: Out-of State and In-State rates. We believe in the K.I.S.S philosophy (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Select Route:
The diminutive Eleventh Hour is short problem on a small boulder. Begin from a sit start on a very thin rail, matched on the rail with a thin heel-hook, make a move to attain a sloping arete. Reset the heel, get a thin crimp, then thrutch for a hold at the lip and pull over. Really short, but it's something to do.
Eleventh Hour is located by itself on a downvalley-side of a small boulder 10 feet off the left side of the social trail as you approach Area A after you've made the willow crossing but about 40-50 yards before you get to the Bierstadt Corridor. If you emerge from the trees and can see the Bierstadt cluster of boulders, head back towards the willow crossing and look to your right.

Note: Mods, feel free to remove if you think this is unnecessary or just more piling on. I just had this thought while I was driving to work this morning and wanted to try and get them down, while also not sure what to do with them then.
Ok, so I was debating whether or not to make a fanpost out of this or not. I, like everybody else, am trying to get a handle on this whole situation and the spectacle that the media is turning this into. While it is debatable whether or not Joe did more or even could have done more, I think there are many other reasons why the country is having a moral aneurysm right now.
How many times do we read about people close to children secretly preying on them? What do almost all of these cases have in common; the fact that those closest to the situation always end up saying, "he was just the guy next door" or "I never would have suspected him". According to many people around this situation, Jerry was "that guy". He was a loving, caring, compassionate man that did many wonderful things for those around him. He also was harboring a very dark and dirty secret.
I think this moral indignation at Joe Paterno is bred, not just of anger and frustration that he should have done more, but also from fear. Fear that Joseph Vincent Paterno, molder of men, and pillar of doing the right thing could have missed this for the past decade. Fear that, if he could have the wool pulled over his eyes so to speak, that it could happen to any and all of us. Joe has always been a great man of character and brilliant at reading and understanding people. The fact that he wasn't able to see through the lies and charades that Jerry's life was, means that we are all susceptible to missing the evil around us and that is a very, very scary thought.

Built this table for the grandchildren's game consoles we have collect, keeps them occupied if you know what I mean. Fun project I did in a weekend. Made from pine I picked up at the local"big box" store.
-- In the end it is more about the memories we make than the pieces we build.

Great looking table! I am partial to the Shaker/country/early American furniture design and this is it. This is very much in the tradition of the country furniture design . . . practical, cheap locally available materials, built fast but well (had to get back to the farming) and all that. And dovetailed drawers to boot! This is going in my favorites!
Looks a little like something I've seen before! http://lumberjocks.com/projects/29461

Reviews for All My Loving LyricsPerformed by The Beatles
Add Your New Review About The Song
All My Loving. | Reviewer: paulsimonismyhubby | 4/13/11
Great song! The lyrics are great to, welp, except for the part where it goes "I'll pretend I am missing, the lips I am missing." It's actually "I'll pretend I am kissing, the lips I am missing."
Other than that, very well done!
All my loving | Reviewer: Boom boom babies | 10/6/10
Really really really great song. I might even sing it to my crush someday. John actually does play a mean guitar in the back. But it says I'll pretend I'm missing the lips I'm missing… it's actually and I'll pretend I'm kissing the lips I'm missing. Just a minor error in the lyrics.

Germany – Economy to improve, labour market robust
The German economy is heading towards recovery with the country seeing an upwards tendency in the early spring months, a leading research institute said Thursday. The economic research body CESifo Group now expects gross domestic product in Germany to increase by +0.8% this year and by +1.9% next year.
"The situation in the financial markets has eased thanks to subsiding uncertainty regarding the future of the European Monetary Union. The headwind in the world economy has also tailed off somewhat," the institute said.
It also expects unemployment to fall in 2013. The latest forecasts expect the number of unemployed to drop to an annual average of 2.9 million this year and to 2.7 million in 2014. Employment levels are also projected to grow to 41.9 million in 2013 to 42.1 million next year.
"The labour market in Germany remains robust," CESifo said. "There are virtually no traces of the recent economic downturn in this market. This means that income expectations remain stable, which should support consumer spending."
Business and consumer confidence have improved, it said, but the organisation warned of disruptions in the private sector across global markets.

An 87-year-old Niles woman told police Oct. 29 she had received a phone call in which the caller said she had won an award for paying her bills on time. The caller told the victim to go to a retail store and purchase a prepaid card in the amount of $1,000. The caller told the victim this would verify her identity and she would then receive the award of $500,000.
The woman, of the 8900 block of Wisner, sensed it was a scam and she hung up. Another man called her back and said he wanted to clarify the instructions, but she didn't give him any further information.
Another victim of this scam not so lucky
On Oct. 29, the manager of a store in the 9600 block of Milwaukee Avenue called police to report that one of his customers, a 78-year-old Glenview man, may have been scammed. The Glenview man had been coming into his store to buy prepaid cards for the past month, he said, and then having the value of the cards wired to an unknown person. On investigating, Niles police learned someone had called the Glenview man and told him he had won $3.5 million, and he needed to wire them money in order to collect the grand prize. Over the past month, he sent them $4,000. Police are investigating.
Information is taken from Niles Police Department reports.

First Impressions of OS X Mountain Lion – It Didn't Break my Java Development
I love upgrades to the Mac OS which usually bring lots of new features to try and a shiny fresh look – and Mountain Lion (released last weekend) has lots of these. But I also like my current setup to carry on working (so I can carry on working). So it was with some slight trepidation that I choose the upgrade option for the new version of Mac OS X…
So I am very pleased to report that after a very smooth install, I needed minimal changes to get back to work. When I ran IDEA for the first time it asked to install a Java6 runtime (which it did automatically for me) and then ran without issue. Firing up Eclipse and NetBeans were totally hassle free and I have yet to find any issues with running my Java code.
The only issue I did find was that I use Mercurical and I needed to reinstall this (the latest version at http://mercurial.berkwood.com/ works without issue). So 2 minor reinstalls and I am back to work on Java on my Mac (when maybe slightly distracted by the new features). A new security feature in Mountain Lion means that you will need to change security settings to allow the software to install.
Mountain Lion seems like an excellent update for 20 US dollars, but my favourite feature is that it does not break any of my work tools. What do you think of Mountain Lion?

You probably don't want to do a system-wide disable of Gatekeeper just to work around one application.
There appears to be a bug where the signature verification fails on wrapped java applications (Minecraft also has this issue), possibly only when they are backed by jar files signed with a cert from a different code-signing authority than Apple. It is the signature verification failure that results in the 'corrupted' message.
The easiest way to allow this one application is to go to the terminal and type:

Alma-Tadema and Victorian Painting
in the Pérez-Simón Collection
From 25 June to 12 October 2014 (extended closing date)
From 25 June to 12 October 2014
After being shown in Paris and Rome, the exhibition Alma-Tadema and Victorian Painting arrives at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in June 2014, offering visitors the chance to discover the aesthetic sensuality of some of the most celebrated 19th-century English artists. In their paintings Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Sir Frederic Leighton, Albert J. Moore and Dante Gabriel Rossetti emphasised values that were strikingly different to the moralising attitudes of the day, including a return to classical antiquity, an interest in the nude, rich decorative effects and references to medieval themes inherited from the Pre-Raphaelites. The exhibition, curated by Véronique Gerard-Powell, Paris Sorbonne University professor, includes a selection of works, among them icons of British art such as The Roses of Heliogabalus by Alma-Tadema; Greek Girls collecting Pebbles from the Sea by Leighton: The Quartet by Albert Moore; and Andromeda by Poynter, have been loaned from the private Pérez-Simón collection, one of the most important in the field of Victorian art.

NEW ORLEANS -- A man from New Orleans spoke at a White House summit looking to find ways to get young people more involved in their communities.
Ryan Dalton is a Cafe Reconcile graduate and front of house manager. He wants to create educational and athletic camps for young people that are also staffed by young people to give them more productive ways to spend their time.
He said he was nervous about the speech, but it was a real thrill to share his story at the White House.
It was an awesome experience," Dalton said. "I'm not sweating any more, no more goosebumps. It was mindblowing."
Dalton said he plans to do a little sightseeing before returning to New Orleans to work on his project.

If any player in the country looks ready to enter the 2012 NFL Draft, it's Oklahoma St. Cowboys wide receiver Justin Blackmon. Not just physically and production-wise -- I mean Blackmon is ready to go.
"Right now, I think (going pro) would be the best thing for me, so that will probably happen," he said a few days ago. He'll also walk with the seniors during this weekend's Bedlam game despite being an underclassman. Doesn't get much more gone than that.
Blackmon will likely be the first wide receiver off the board. He's a Biletnikoff winner who's the favorite to win it again this time around, something no receiver since Michael Crabtree has done. Mock drafts have him going in the top 10, with some placing him near the top five.
For more on Blackmon, visit Oklahoma State blog Cowboys Ride For Free. For more NFL Draft, head to Mocking The Draft.
