Candlemass - King of The Grey Islands
Reported tension late last year between singer Messiah Marcolin and the rest of the band seemed to put their new album on hold, but fears were allayed with a post on the bands website confirming that Messiah would be singing on the record after all.
The announcement was a strange one. It made it sound like Messiah was being hired to do it, rather than being a part of the band, and no mention was made of touring. Certainly my feeling was that Messiah would sing on the album then leave. Then in October the announcement came that Messiah was out of the band. Speculation mounted on a replacement, and the most popular choice amongst fans seemed to be Robert Lowe of [b]Solitude Aeturnus[/b], although former Candlemass singer Johan Langqvist was also widely requested.
In January this year another announcement named Lowe as the new singer and the band moved fast to record the new album. Lowe's arrival was welcomed by fans and although he's not quite got the same operatic range as Marcolin, his slightly grittier style adds a certain ominous overtone to the trademark doom riffs that can often be missing from some older material.
[i]King of The Grey Islands[/i] is not as heavy as [i]Candlemass[/i], the reunion album with Marcolin released in 2005. There seems to be a greater emphasis on structure than on straight-ahead, crushing doom. Opening intro [i]Prologue[/i] is a beautiful acoustic instrumental which leads nicely into the frantic wah-loaded riffs of [i]Emperor of The Void[/i]. Opening shows with this will be immense. It's one of those mid-paced, doomy-yet-catchy numbers Candlemass pioneered in the first place.

- Top Ecuador diplomat to visit Vietnam
- Vietnam attends IPU meeting in Ecuador
- Vietnam wishes to boost ties with Ecuador
Aroca was speaking at a reception in Hanoi on June 24 given by his Vietnamese counterpart Pham Binh Minh.
He expressed his admiration for late President Ho Chi Minh as well as Vietnam's significant achievements in its past struggle for national liberation and current national construction and defence.
He pledged to create more favourable conditions for Vietnamese businesses to penetrate Ecuador, especially in the fields of telecommunications, and oil and gas exploitation.
For his part, FM Minh affirmed that Vietnam attaches importance to strengthening friendship and multifaceted cooperation with Ecuador and other countries in Latin America.
The two sides exchanged notes on regional and international issues of mutual concern and voiced support for each other in international and multilateral forums, such as the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), and the Forum for East Asia and Latin American Cooperation (FEALAC).
They also agreed to promote exchange visits by senior officials, increase the effectiveness of their diplomatic representative offices in both countries, and boost cooperation in trade, investment, agriculture, transport, tourism, science and technology.
After their talks, the two Ministers signed a Memorandum of Understanding on mechanisms for economic cooperation in the Pacific rim.

History of Children's Choice
Children's Choice was founded on April 1, 1982, in Chester, Pennsylvania by Rev. Drs. William and Carolyn Eberwein. "Dr. Bill" and "Dr. Carolyn" had worked in a variety of social service fields, including church ministries, juvenile justice, prisons, halfway houses, and fundraising. Through their experience, they began to notice that the children of some of their clients were entering the social service system, repeating the patterns of their parents. Drs. Bill and Carolyn felt that if they could reach out to people at an earlier age, as children, then perhaps the cycle of dependency, suffering, and failure could be broken.
The Eberweins firmly believed that if they could restore self-worth and the power of choice to people who felt powerless and victimized, then meaningful change could take place in the community. Guided by the words of James 1:27 in the Christian Bible, which teaches that perfect religion is to take care of widows and orphans, the Eberweins have provided out-of-home care services for literally thousands of children and families.
Since 1982, Children's Choice has expanded into Maryland and Delaware, and has developed new branches of service, including kinship care, medical foster care and therapeutic foster care.
In September of 2010, Dr. Bill was called home to be with the Lord. After his passing, the board of directors appointed Dr. Carolyn to the role of President and Chief Executive Officer, and she continues to guide the agency in our mission of service to the children and families in our care.

Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra: Portrait of Cannonball
Despite a snowstorm that threatened to shut down the government, an enthusiastic audience turned out on a frigid Friday night to see the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Sextet perform its portrait of Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. Such tributes can be problematic: Adderley was not only a popular crossover musician, he was also an extraordinarily accomplished and charismatic player, and the only way such a tribute can work is if you have a compelling soloist and articulate host to bring out the spirit and context of Adderley's music. Fortunately, the SJMS can call on saxophonist and Howard University Music Professor Charlie Young to fill those very big shoes. Young shared insightful, personal and sometimes funny stories about Adderley that gave everyone a flavor of the rotund man behind the recordings. But it was the music that people came to hear and the Sextet didn't disappoint.
Young and his colleagues began the program with one of Adderley's earliest works, "A Little Taste," from his 1955 Savoy session. The tricky theme was expertly played, and Young and trumpeter Tom Williams both came out swinging. A couple of tunes from Adderley's tenure with Miles Davis followed. "All Blues" found tenor saxophonist Luis Hernandez taking his time, building tension and generating heat à la Warne Marsh by playing slightly behind the beat. Drummer Steve Williams kicked off "Two Bass Hit," and the solos segued as Young began his by incorporating the final phrase played by Hernandez.
Young plays with an impressive, big sound; he certainly didn't need any amplification for this 300-seat auditorium. While he can run the changes as well as anyone, it's refreshing to hear someone double- or triple-time something, then wrap it up with an in-the-moment melodic phrase. The other members of the sextet did more than accompany Young. Pianist Robert Redd doesn't look like he's worked a 1,000 one-nighters playing funky hard-bop blues, but on the Bobby Timmons soulful waltz "This Here (aka 'Dis Hyunh')," he sure sounds like it. The inevitable "Work Song" found Williams incorporating unconscious gestures into his trumpet solo. He would play a hot lick, adjust his glasses with perfect rhythmic punctuation and then rip off another mighty phrase. This guy is so musical he probably solos with his spoon while eating his breakfast cereal. Other highlights of the concert included the relaxed groove of "Nippon Soul," Nat Adderley's bluesy boogaloo "Jive Samba," Young's gorgeous inflections on the Charles Lloyd ballad "The Song My Lady Sings" and his heartfelt, sanctified solo on "Country Preacher." Young plays with more clarity, authority and creativity than most of the recent Berklee Music School grads with record contracts. Someone should sign this guy up, right quick.
Despite the sluggish economy, draconian federal budget cuts and diminishing philanthropic support, the Smithsonian is hanging in by utilizing its resources with tenacious and creative programming. Other programs scheduled this year include a tap workshop and performance celebration of dancer/actress Jeni LeGon, a Bix Beiderbecke tribute with Randy Sandke and a concert with the Artie Shaw Orchestra under the direction of Dick Johnson.

Melvin Guillard is heading to UFC 148 for a bout with Fabricio Camoes in hopes of proving he can fend off a submission specialist rather than bow to BJJ artistry.
It was not announced where the Guillard-Camoes bout would be placed on the July 7 card, but a spot on the prelims is likely. UFC 148 already features a bantamweight title-match between Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber, along with fights such as Michael Bisping-Tim Boetsch, Rich Franklin-Cung Le, and Tito Ortiz-Forrest Griffin.
MMAWeekly was first to report the match-up.
Guillard (29-10-2) was making his way up the UFC's lightweight ladder before running into back-to-back submission defeats at the limbs of Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller. Now, the heavy-handed fighter will look to avoid the dreaded three-fight losing streak this summer
Camoes (14-6-1) is in his second stint with the UFC, having defeated Tommy Hayden earlier this year. "Morango" has won three straight since a loss to Kurt Pellegrino at UFC 111 and owes half of his total victories to tapping opponents out.

The Chicago-based trumpeter Greg Duncan spent 2009 and 2010 in Spain, where he immersed himself in all things flamenco, and Flamenco Jazz in particular, a combination that has been explored by the likes of Chick Corea, Michel Camilo, Jerry Gonzalez, Chano Dominguez, Paco de Lucia, Miles Davis with and without Gil Evans, and even John Coltrane (Olé). Out of Duncan's experience in Spain came the idea for this project, which came to fruition with the help of a grant from the Illinois Arts Council. Duncan has stated that he "wanted to show that Flamenco Jazz is different than Latin Jazz and can be used to enhance Jazz Music by utilizing the great rhythmic and melodic traditions from Spain," and "wanted to take a more traditional approach between the two and really focus on presenting an authentic representation of the material not just from a technical perspective, but also from a cultural perspective."
The results are far from academic or studied, for the music is uninhibited, unpretentious, naturally flowing, and full of incisive improvisations. Duncan's arrangements (plus one by Dominguez) are brought to life by a group of Chicago musicians that includes, besides the leader's trumpet and flugelhorn, saxophonist Corbin Andrick, keyboardist Stuart Mindeman, bassist Patrick Mulcahy, drummer Jon Deitemyer, cajón player Javier Saume, and vocalist Patricia Ortega. Five of the more popular flamenco rhythms were chosen by Duncan, namely tango, rumba, bulerías ("2 bar rhythmic sequence felt more in 3, 6, or 12"), tanguillos ("a combination of 2 over 3 where it's felt in 3 but has cross accents"), and sevillana ("a popular dance form in Spain felt as a fast 3").
Spanish saxophonist Perico Sambeat's "De Camino" is performed as a rumba, with Duncan playing the lightly dancing theme and then adding bite and swagger in his fervent solo. Mindeman's comping is focused and salutary and his own improv is a spirited Latin-tinged romp. Mulcahy, Deitemyer, and Saume keep the infectious rhythm percolating. Duncan's "Procedencia" finds the composer blending with Andick's tenor on the tender theme, with the rhythm section heartily establishing a bulerías pulse. The trumpeter's solo soars in energetic rapture, and Mulcahy follows with lyrically enticing momentum. Mindeman's piano is sterling throughout, and Deitemyer and Saume make quite a complementary team percussively. The tanguillos rhythm used for Nat Simon's "Poinciana" seems not far from that heard on Ahmad Jamal's famous version. Andrick's alto caresses the melody and the changes in his well-crafted, captivating solo, and Mindeman's improv is laden with darting arpeggios. Saume's tasteful cajón accents are especially noticeable and enriching on this track.
"Correveidile (Run and Go Tell)" is by the Spanish flamenco fusion group Ojos de Brujo, and features Ortega's emotionally charged vocals, Duncan's robust trumpet, Andrick's twirling alto, and Mindeman's lucid piano, all help to make this arrangement a bracing success. The interplay between Saume, Mulcahy, and Deitemyer serves as both a springboard and flotation device for the soloists. Paco de Lucia's "La Tumbona" is elevated by a wonderful arrangement by Dominguez, a scintillating mixture of tango and flamenco. Andrick's silky, undulating alto reminds one of Miguel Zenón, and Ortega's passionate vocals are high points. Mindeman and Duncan on flugelhorn skillfully stay true to form, and the spicy rhythms are hard to resist. While described as a tango, the impulse and rhythmic drive of Duncan's "Straighten Up" is more post bop orientated in the initial theme introduction and its amplification by the leader and Andrick on tenor. A tango beat does appear for the reprise and subsequent demonstrative flight by Duncan. For Mindeman's surging statement, however, and the final ensemble summation, a more undiluted jazz feel prevails once again.
The rhythm section produces another tantalizing bulerías backdrop for Duncan's "Reality versus Myth," over which trumpet and alto enunciate the beseeching melody. Mindeman's radiant Fender Rhodes furnishes contrasting texture beneath the emphatic bass, trumpet, and alto solos that ensue. Duncan's arrangement, with its counterpoint, fills, and vamps is exceptional, as is Saume's heated cajón workout at the close. The traditional "Romance Anonimo," in the sevillana format, is launched by Mulcahy's mournful arco bass that precedes the perky, swaying theme, with Saume's cavorting patterns enchantingly effective. Ortega and Duncan's hand claps and Saume's solo outing over Mindeman's vamp bring considerable vitality to the next straight ahead flamenco segment. Concise but flavorful improvs by alto, trumpet, and piano lead us back to an infectious reprise. Duncan's "Spanish Life" is billed as a "Swing ballad," and his flugelhorn delivers the contemplative theme before playing a compelling solo that vacillates between jabbing outbursts and glistening extended lines. Mindeman responds with a more swinging but equally thematic and enthusiastic investigation. Duncan's elegant recap evolves into a moving and well-resolved coda.

We were only able to afford to buy this tour for the whole family because of Viator's fantastic half price offer that was available for August - otherwise it would have been overpriced. Nevertheless, it was an awesome experience that none of us will ever forget. I was pleasantly surprised by the surroundings when we arrived - such a beautiful, calm little cove surrounded by lush gardens. We began with a fun little encounter with the rays, then our adventure with the dolphins began. I was really nervous about the foot push, thinking I would never be able to stay upright, but we had a good briefing, were equipped with safety jackets and the dolphins are so strong they really keep you up in place! The dorsal fin ride was fun too, and we also got to stroke the dolphins and get a kiss from them. We didn't stay for the other encounters (shark and camel). As other reviewers have mentioned, no cameras are allowed during the dolphin experience and the DVD is very expensive, but there are several packages on offer and the set up is very professional. They allow you to look through the pictures on individual computers before buying. We have some great pictures that I will treasure forever.

When I think of eggplant I can't help but remember the times when my mom would make breaded eggplant and convince my brothers and I that we were eating beef! Today my mom would not have to trick anymore! First, I would not fall for that trick. Second, I adore eggplant so much I could eat it everyday. But what I learned from that trick my mom played on me is that eggplant is a great choice for those days when I need a break from eating meat. This eggplant lasagna is a perfect example of that. Heart and comforting but yet light, this dish is a delicious alternative to the traditional heavy lasagna!
Eggplant Lasagna
For roasting the eggplant:
2 eggplants
olive oil to drizzle
For seasoning the eggplant:
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, crushed
Approximately 2 generous pinches of salt
Approximately 2 generous pinches of pepper
2 generous pinches of dried herbs such herbs de Provence or oregano
For layering:
14 oz fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
8 sheets of pasta
1 1/2 cup tomato sauce
lots of fresh basil
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
olive oil
Preheat oven to 415F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice eggplants lengthwise. Put eggplants on the lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast until slices are tender.
Transfer roasted eggplant to a large bowl and season it with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and dried herb. Set it aside. Note: 4 garlic cloves might seem a lot to season the eggplant, but the garlic will actually end up seasoning the entire lasagna once in the oven. That is good specially if you are using a blend store bought tomato sauce.
Cook the sheets of pasta in boiling salted water, a few at a time, just enough so they soften (1 to 2 minutes). Transfer them to a plate.
Preheat oven to 400F. Use a 11x7 (or similar) baking dish to assemble the lasagna. Start with tomato sauce, then pasta, eggplant and cheese. Make sure to add some fresh basil in between the layers. Repeat until you run out of all ingredients. Top with parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Jennifer asks Daniel what's going on with him and Nicole. Daniel, not wanting to explain until Nicole has told Eric the truth, assures her it's no big deal and promises he will fill in Jennifer later. Jennifer seems to accept this, but she later confides to Hope that she's worried Nicole has put Daniel in awkward spot. Meanwhile, Daniel is not happy that Nicole isn't returning his texts, and he finally confronts her in person. He's stunned to learn she hasn't told Eric the truth. Nicole begs him to let it go, but when Eric shows up, Daniel tells Nicole either she tells Eric the truth or he will.
Earlier, Nicole sees Brady drinking with Theresa, and she tries to use this information to buy time with Daniel. At the same time, Eric informs Marlena that he and Nicole are engaged and are going to be married soon. She's not thrilled, but tries to bite her tongue. Later, John runs into Marlena, who rebuffs his overtures.
At Theresa's apartment, Brady wakes up hung over and angry with himself. He receives a call from John, which propels him to have mid-morning drinks with Theresa. Later, Brady goes home and is confronted by his father.
Earlier, JJ goes to Daniel for some advice, explaining how he shut down with Paige after running into Theresa. Daniel encourages him to forget about Theresa. At the same time, Paige decides to seek out JJ and finds Jennifer instead. Jennifer defends her son and suggests Paige give JJ a little space. Paige leaves and runs into JJ, who tries to explain why he shut down. They end up sharing a kiss, that unbeknownst to them, is witnessed by Theresa.
Aiden pulls Hope's focus from Nick's case to focus on the St. Luke's gala, and she learns he's attempted some unethical things to get the ballroom back from Mr. Howell. Disapproving, Hope is relieved when it blows up in Aiden's face.

"My favorite thing about playing TC is getting to see Matt's parents," said lead vocalist and guitarist Justin Furstenfeld. "The Noveskys are like our second parents – hi Bill, hi Linda, we love you!" No wonder Northern Michigan shows are something of a homecoming for the alt rock band.
Brother Jeremy Furstenfeld tackles drum duties. C.B. Hudson joins up on guitar, while Ryan Delahoussaye takes a multi-instrumental role. And on bass, Matt Novesky - a Traverse City hometown boy.
Formed in 1995 by brothers Justin and Jeremy Furstenfeld, Ryan Delahoussaye, and TC homie Matt Novesky, the band was discovered by music manager Michael Rand while performing at a cafe in Houston, and were immediately booked on an extensive tour.
The band took that opportunity and ran with it, releasing a half-dozen albums from 1998-2011 and scoring a number two hit with their single "Hate Me."
Now they're on album number seven, "Sway," which is still going strong nine months after its release, and has been called their "most accessible" and thoughtful album to date.
Helping the album along is the video for the set's title track, a shadowy yet optimistic clip that finds Furstenfeld channeling a little of Counting Crows' Adam Duritz, and a lot of U2's Bono, as the rest of his band sets down a solid foundation.
The title track's video underscores embracing life to the fullest, Justin Furstenfeld said.
"The only idea I wanted to put across was that each of the members of Blue October are a family - we complete each other as a team," he said.
The aim was to see each bandmate in their element, he continued.
"Going into the shoot, I wanted everyone confident and happy with themselves, so when it was finished, we got to see each member in a place of peace," he said.
The initial idea for the video wasn't so esoteric, however: It was more along the lines of the plot line from the movie "Footloose," an idea that quickly got kicked to the curb.
"It was originally supposed to be a video about renegade teenagers who lived in a place where dancing and music were forbidden," he said. "That is until I rethought it and said, 'Nah!'"
Blue October is enjoying critical and fan reaction to "Sway," and planning their summer tour, including that much-anticipated stop in TC.
Justin Furstenfeld – whose difficult struggles with depression, addiction, and loss have often surfaced in his song lyrics – is looking more confident and healthy, as well. He's given up drugs, alcohol, and smoking to focus on making the most of his musical talents.
It's been a long road for the band, but they've learned how to roll with the punches, and that's found them success, and hopefully a little of that peace that Furstenfeld talked about, too.
"I truly believe we are blessed to still be able to do this for a living," he said. "And I'm really grateful that we continue to just make honest music from our hearts."
Blue October will be in concert at Ground Zero in Traverse City on Fri., May 23. For more info, visit groundzeroonline.com or blueoctober.com.

Most people who take red yeast rice... have to do so on a daily basis, and often more than one capsule- someone like myself. This means that I have to purchase in quantity. You could be helping us by offering Nature's Plus in the 120 vcap quantities- and really, the manufacturer should be able to offer this in even larger bottles ! I like iHerb.com and I hope that you can look into this and offer at least the 120 vcap bottles !

- Abstract
- Protein adsorption onto calcium phosphate (Ca-P) bioceramics utilised in hard tissue implant applications has been highlighted as one of the key events that influences the subsequent biological response, in vivo. This work reports on the use of surface-matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation mass spectrometry (Surface-MALDI-MS) as a technique for the direct detection of foetal bovine serum (FBS) proteins adsorbed to hybrid calcium phosphate/titanium dioxide surfaces produced by a novel radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method incorporating in situ annealing between 500°C and 700°C during deposition. XRD and XPS analysis indicated that the coatings produced at 700°C were hybrid in nature, with the presence of Ca-P and titanium dioxide clearly observed in the outer surface layer. In addition to this, the Ca/P ratio was seen to increase with increasing annealing temperature, with values of between 2.0 and 2.26 obtained for the 700°C samples. After exposure to FBS solution, surface-MALDI-MS indicated that there were significant differences in the protein patterns as shown by unique peaks detected at masses below 23.1 kDa for the different surfaces. These adsorbates were assigned to a combination of growth factors and lipoproteins present in serum. From the data obtained here it is evident that surface-MALDI-MS has significant utility as a tool for studying the dynamic nature of protein adsorption onto the surfaces of bioceramic coatings, which most likely plays a significant role in subsequent bioactivity of the materials.

AFTER years in the shadows of collector cars, vintage motorcycles are getting their place in the sun. Two years after the first North American auction of vintage and high-performance motorcycles, Sotheby's is back for a second round tomorrow in Chicago. And the Guggenheim Museum will open its Las Vegas branch next month with a reprise of its most successful exhibition ever, the Art of the Motorcycle.
The auction, to take place at Sotheby's Chicago showroom, will include rare bicycles and memorabilia. One highlight will be the 1951 Triumph Thunderbird once owned by Steve McQueen. But the real star of the show is expected to be a rare 1912 Sears Dreadnought V-twin that was sold through the Sears, Roebuck catalog of 1912-16. The original and unrestored Sears, manufactured by the F. W. Spacke Machine Company of Indianapolis, has a nine-horsepower engine, a suspended seat and a regular bicycle chain and pedals -- so that one could ride it without the engine running. Sotheby's said it expected the Sears, offered with the original catalog and other literature, to bring $110,000 or more.
The auction will include more than 420 lots of bicycles and motorcycles, including 130 Harley-Davidsons -- as well as engines, tool sets, dealer signs, models and posters -- from the collection of a former dealer in Toledo, Ohio, known as Harley Charlie Stahl.
Sotheby's motorcycle specialist, Larry J. Sirolli, said that motorcycle auctions were an outgrowth of the 1999 motorcycle exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York ''that presented these motorcycles as more than just machines for transportation purposes, as works of art, and as objects that are collectible, with intrinsic value.''
In Las Vegas, the motorcycle exhibition will be in an extension of the Venetian Hotel designed by the architect Rem Koolhaas. The installation is by Frank Gehry, who designed both the original motorcycle exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York and a traveling version that stopped last year at the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, which Mr. Gehry also designed.
Guggenheim officials stressed that the Las Vegas exhibition of 120 motorcycles was not exactly the same collection that appeared in Manhattan, but a remixing of those machines and some new entries. The display ranges from an 1868 Michaux-Perreaux from France to a contemporary MV Agusta from Italy on loan from the singer and actor Lyle Lovett (who is also a biker and BMW dealer). Ultan Guilfoyle, curatorial adviser for the exhibition, said the mix was altered to reflect the American West, with more Harleys and more Indian motorcycles included, in honor of that marque's 100th anniversary this year.
The exhibition will be at the Guggenheim Las Vegas through July 2002.Continue reading the main story

If Northeastern State has an advantage against Eastern New Mexico University in today's game in Tahlequah, Okla., it's that the Redmen have already played this season.
While ENMU opens its campaign with a rare Thursday night game, Northeastern lost at Arkansas Tech 33-32 in its opener last week.
Second-year ENMU coach Mark Ribaudo said his team is anxious to play.
"We're about as prepared as a team could be at this time," he said. "We're ready to play a game for sure."
Ribaudo said the Redmen should be a formidable challenge.
"They scored 32 points on a good Gulf South (Conference) team," he said. "It's going to be a challenge, and it's a tough place to go play.
"Arkansas Tech is a solid, solid program. (Northeastern) got its first-game jitters out, and they're going to be a better team this week."
Since longtime assistant coach John Horner took over in 2003, Northeastern has struggled, winning just five games.
Horner said there were some differences in philosophy on the staff when the change was made, and it's taking a while to implement his system.
"It was on the way down when I took over," said Horner, who came to Northeastern in 1988. "My recruiting philosophy was to build a foundation with high school kids (as opposed to relying on junior college transfers)."
Northeastern dropped a heartbreaker last week when a celebration penalty on a potential tying score late in the game pushed the extra point attempt back 15 yards. Kicker Brett Sowers was wide left on the kick, his third miss of the night.
Horner took exception with that penalty, as well as several others in the game, but said the Redmen didn't play as well as he'd hoped.
"We had some tough calls in that game, but that happens on the road," he said. "Defensively, we didn't play as well as I thought we would. They'd switched schemes (from the previous year) on offense, so we went in a little blind."
Ribaudo and Horner were defensive coordinators at their respective schools before moving into the head coaching positions.
"It's a change for both of us," Horner said. "I'd never had to deal with offense before. Trying to implement your philosophy takes a little time."
The Greyhounds open with their two longest road trips — they play at East Central next week — before getting five of their final eight games at home.
ENMU at Northeastern State
6 p.m. (MDT) today
At Tahlequah, Okla.
Records: ENMU 0-0, Northeastern State 0-1.
Radio: KSEL-FM 95.3.
On the Net: www.enmusports.com.
Coaches: ENMU, Mark Ribaudo, 2nd year; Northeastern State, John Horner, 4th year.
Last week: The Redmen opened the season with a 33-32 loss to Arkansas Tech at Russellville, Ark.
Top Northeastern State players: Erick Hatchett, 5-11, 185, Jr., TB; Joe Hogan, 6-3, 200, Jr., QB; Jarrett Byers, 6-0, 190, Jr., WR; Kevin Christian, 6-1, 240, Sr., LB.
Notes: Both coaches were assistants at their current schools long before becoming head coaches. Ribaudo is in his 10th year at ENMU, while Horner is in his 19th at Northeastern State. … An excessive celebration penalty with 2:20 left cost the Redmen on a potential game-tying extra point last week. The ball was moved back 15 yards, and Brett Sowers' kick went wide left. … This is the teams' fourth meeting all-time, and the third in Tahlequah. The Greyhounds are 3-0 against the Redmen, winning the most recent clash 24-10 at Northeastern three years ago. … ENMU is 34-32 all-time in season openers. The Hounds had won seven openers in a row before losing to Central Arkansas in each of the past two seasons.
Quotable: "We've opened with (Arkansas) Tech the last four years. It's tough to come back from an opening-game loss. We've just got to step up and play." — Horner.

The FDA has approved Erbitux™ (cetuximab) in combination with FOLFIRI for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer whose tumors have a wild-type (WT) KRAS gene. Erbitux was first approved in 2004 for patients whose cancer was not responding to available treatments.
FDA's action was prompted by results from a look back at patient outcomes and KRAS status from three trials:
- CRYSTAL: phase 3, 1217 patients newly diagnosed with metastatic CRC, comparing FOLFIRI vs FOLFIRI + Erbitux
- OPUS: phase 2, 337 patients newly diagnosed with metastatic CRC, comparing FOLFOX vs FOLFOX + Erbitux
- CA225025: phase 3, 572 patients with metastatic CRC that stopped responding to available treatments, comparing Best Supportive Care (BSC) to BSC + Erbitux
In June 2008, data from CRYSTAL and OPUS showed that patients with mutated KRAS genes did not respond to treatment with Erbitux. As a result, the FDA modified the labels of Erbitux and Vectibix™ (panitumumab), a drug that is similar to Erbitux, to say that patients with mutated KRAS genes should not be treated with Erbitux or Vectibix.
Additional analyses of CRYSTAL showed that that patients with non-mutated (wild type, WT) KRAS who received both FOLFIRI and Erbitux as first-line treatment lived on average 23.5 months, compared to 19.5 months for patients who received FOLFIRI alone. Data from OPUS and CA225025 also showed that patients with non-mutated (wild-type) KRAS responded to treatment with Erbitux, and confirmed that patients with mutated KRAS did not respond.
As a result, FDA has approved use of FOLFIRI plus Erbitux for first-line treatment. FDA also noted that these analyses confirmed the existing side effect profile of Erbitux. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) treatment guidelines indicate that the following are all first-line treatment options:
- Avastin ™ (bevacizumab) plus FOLFOX or FOLFIRI
- Vectibix plus FOLFOX or FOLFIRI
- Erbitux plus FOLFIRI
- FOLFOXIRI (in limited cases)
These options should be covered by most insurance companies, which use NCCN guidelines as a basis for coverage decisions.
Additional Resources:
- FDA announcement of approval
- Erbitux label
- CRYSTAL data published in 2009 New England Journal of Medicine
- Call Fight CRC's Answer Line at 1-877-427-2111
What this means for patients:
- If you are newly diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer and if your tumor has wild type (non-mutated) KRAS genes, you can talk with your doctor about options for first-line treatment, and how first-line treatment will evolve to successive lines of treatment.
- If you are newly diagnosed and your tumor has mutated KRAS genes, you should not be treated with Erbitux or Vectibix.

Award winning airline present for first time at Riyadh exhibition
RIYADH, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,24th April 2013: Emirates has a stand presence for the first time at the Riyadh Travel Fair 2013, taking place 23-26th April in the Saudi capital.
Concourse A in Dubai, the world's first purpose built A380 concourse, the airline's new route launches and its 69 weekly flights from Saudi will all be topics for discussion at the Emirates' stand. The Emirates' team is led by District Manager for Riyadh, Mohammad Bin Hafiz.
"Saudi is a major market for Emirates and the only country in the Middle East served by our flagship aircraft, the A380," said Mr Bin Hafiz. "This is a clear indication of the importance of the KSA market, where we are now up to 69 flights a flight from four points across the kingdom, including four daily flights from Riyadh. All these flights are non-stop to Dubai where they connect with our impressive global network of 132 destinations."
Mr Bin Hafiz will be accompanied by staff from sales, reservations, ticketing and Emirates Holidays.
Recently, Emirates Holidays, the airline's tour operating arm, announced it was making a series of changes under Marc Bennett, Emirates' new Divisional Senior Vice President, Destination & Leisure Management.
The Riyadh Travel Fair is now in its fifth year and is attended by the leading travel and tourism companies from within Saudi and beyond.
Emirates' history in Saudi dates back to 1989 when it launched flights to Jeddah. The airline was the first to introduce an A380 into KSA by upgrading Jeddah to a double decker service in 2010.
Emirates other Saudi gateways came in 1990 with Riyadh, Dammam followed in 1993 and services to Medina started in 2010. Next year, Emirates will mark 25 years of operations to Saudi.
Key passenger markets for KSA include the UAE, Far East, the Indian Sub-continent, Europe, North America, Australia and China.
Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, can offer more than 100 tonnes of cargo capacity daily on flights leaving KSA.
Commodities on the move with Emirates SkyCargo include pharmaceutical products, dates, industrial products, mobile phones, machinery, spare parts and personal effects.
Emirates has 150 staff in KSA supporting areas such as sales, ticketing, reservations, cargo operations and finance.
In 2012, Emirates was awarded the Best Arab Airline 2012 award by Sabq newspaper at the Sabq Tourism Awards.

What a lovely day, all perfect other than 2 things which I will elaborate on later. I had the most therapeutic massage I have enjoyed for a very long time and the professionalism and quality of the therapist was second to none. Treatments and service and communications on the pool issue was highly professional and detailed.
Sadly the therapy pool not working until 4.00 p.m. which was a shame as I adore this type of water experience. But there was a lot of effort into getting it going. This is the reason I have marked the spa facilities lower than I would liked to have done.
The second is that the spa would be significantly improved with spa loungers and blankets that can be adjusted height wise, meaning that you can lie flat and snooze. The loungers are comfortable but they are statically angled for reading and chatting. The relaxation area was comfortable with magazines to choose from.
This is a first rate spa with superb staff, friendly and professional and I hope to be back very soon.

Sunburn results from too much sun or sun-equivalent exposure. Almost everyone has been sunburned or will become sunburned at some time. Anyone who visits a beach, goes fishing, works in the yard, or simply is out in the sun can get sunburned. Sunburn is possible any time of the year, but is more common in the summer months when the sun's rays are the strongest. Although sunburn is seldom fatal, severe sunburn or sun poisoning can be disabling and cause quite a bit of discomfort.
Ultraviolet light causes the production of free radicals (highly reactive chemicals) in the skin and this damage the surrounding tissues leading to signs of premature ageing. Free radicals can be controlled with the antioxidant nutrition vit C, E, beta carotene and selenium.
Vulnerable Groups:
Diet and lifestyle:
Drink adequate amount of water. It is definitely best to avoid any risk of even mild sunburn. There is evidence that the occasional "accident" increase the risk of melanomic (cancer) more than constant, careful exposure. Don't spend any longer in the sun than you would without sunscreen. Sunscreen should not be used as an excuse to stay out in the sun.
What should I do if someone has signs of heat exhaustion?
Get them to rest in a cool place, ideally a room with air conditioning. Give them plenty of water. Avoid alcohol or caffeine as this can increase levels of dehydration. Cool their skin with cold water. Use a shower or cold bath to cool them down or, if this is not possible, wet flannels and face cloths in water and apply to their skin. Loosen any unnecessary clothing and make sure that the person gets plenty of ventilation. Monitor their condition closely.
Useful Homeopathic remedies:
Following homeopathic remedies are effective in sunburn & sunstroke conditions:
Sol, Glonine, Gelsemium, Belladonna, Aconite, Nat-mur, Calendula Gel, Urtica Urens, Cantharis, Opium.

The first weekend of the 2011 Major League Baseball postseason is complete. The excitement may not have matched day 162 of the regular season, but there were surely plenty of surprises as October baseball came underway.
Three of the four series are deadlocked at 1-1, with the Milwaukee Brewers being the lone squad with a 2-0 lead. They're also the only team who has looked great across the board through the first two games.
Anything can happen during the postseason, however, so no lead is ever safe. You can bet we'll have plenty of excitement as these first round series' play out.
Here are the rankings of all eight teams based on their performance over the postseason's first weekend.

Shame On Shame
Connection. Through your courage in sharing and your friend's compassion, you have created a powerful connection to somebody outside of your shame. You may feel exposed, but also completely loved and accepted – which are the true antidotes to shameful thoughts. Remember, the definition of shame is "the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing we are flawed and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging." Once you forge a connection, you feel you belong. Brown eloquently explains, "It has been said that real freedom is about setting others free. In the spirit of that powerful definition, my greatest hope is that we will reach out across our differences and through our shame to share our stories and connect with those who need to hear, 'You are not alone.'"
In our culture, there is an emphasis on strength – and part of that emphasis is the idea that we shouldn't need any help. Instead, we should smile and keep on going because we are perfectly capable of handling anything that life throws our way.
In a culture of blame and enforced individualism, shame thrives. If you can't talk about your shame, you give it the space to grow. Instead, if we can go against the culture of shame and be courageous, seek compassion, and connect, we will be able to live lives without the devastating and harmful effects of shame.Rifka Schonfeld

Guests and companions may ride with you on Dial-A-Lift. Be sure to tell the scheduler you will bring a guest when you schedule your ride. Guests and companions must pay the regular fare. A companion is anyone who rides with you who is not designated as your PCA. top
