It's been 20 years since the infamous (but not first) Hulk Hogan bodyslam of Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III and the WWE decided to make a few extra bucks hocking a re-release of the epic event.
Only problem is that the two-disc DVD set, called the "Championship Edition," while the event itself was stellar, is a bit light in the "extras" department.
Nothing is drastically changed in the DVD, aside from the theme music for Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Hillbilly Jim. Everything else is how it was originally released, with the odd "WWF" changed to "WWE."
But in watching this, I realized how far WWE has come in the past 20 years. Several things stood out for me.
For instance, when King Kong Bundy bodyslams and then drops an elbow on Little Beaver, the fans were appalled. Nowadays, if that didn't happen in a mixed tag team match, it would be rare.
In the opening bout when the Can-Am Connection (Rick Martel and Tom Zenk) beat Cowboy Bob Orton and The Magnificent Muraco, Martel pinned Muraco with a cross bodyblock. No fancy-schmancy maneuvers needed here, folks.
And when King Harley Race topped the late Junkyard Dog, he did it with a belly-to-belly suplex. Again, no dazzling flips or off-the-wall stuff here.
Even when Steamboat and "Macho Man" Randy Savage stole the show with Steamboat winning the Intercontinental title, it was done with a basic inside cradle.
One match that people seem to forget about that had the now-contested crowd of 93,173 on their feet was the six-man tag of The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid) and Tito Santana against The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hitman" Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart) and Danny Davis. This match had a definite storyline as Davis, the former ref, had cost both the Bulldogs and Santana their respective titles over the past year. Just prior to the match, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, a broadcaster for the event, jaunts off with Matilda, the Bulldogs' canine. No reason was ever given why.
Koko B. Ware and Butch Reed was a pointless match that is probably best known for Santana attacking Reed's manager, Slick, after the match and tearing apart his wardrobe. Reed had won by reversing a flying bodypress and hooking the "Birdman's" tights.
Suffice to say, too, that Rowdy Roddy Piper's "farewell match" versus Adrian Adonis was far from retirement from Hot Rod, though the conclusion of the match did bring us Brutus Beefcake's barber gimmick.
The Full Nelson Challenge between Billy Jack Haynes and Hercules left Haynes a bloody mess. It's been noted since then that Haynes was not supposed to blade and the fact he did may have led to his release from the Fed.
The Honky Tonk Man pinning Jake "The Snake" Roberts with a hand on the ropes was a precursor to Jake and cornerman Alice Cooper terrorizing Jimmy Hart with Damien after the match.
Wow, there were once tag teams? The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff defeating The Killer Bees (B. Brian Blair and "Jumping" Jim Brunzell) by disqualification served as the introduction of Hacksaw Jim Duggan, a wrestler who still performs in the ring pretty much weekly for WWE.
All that was accomplished by Beefcake and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine beating The Rougeau Brothers (Jacques and Raymond) was that Valentine spurned his Dream Team partner after the match and hooked up with Dino Bravo. Lots of Canucks in this match, too.
The Hogan and Andre match - it is what it is. Either you love it or you wanted more. Personally, if that match doesn't happen the way it did, I don't think WrestleMania is what it is today.
If there was a theme with each match, it's that most of them ended a feud, started another, or segued into another storyline i.e. Beefcake, Duggan, new Dream Team.
As for the extras, there's an OK assortment -- just a slew of pre-WrestleMania interviews (some with Ken Resnick, remember him?) and run-ins and a couple matches (including the battle royal from Detroit that Hercules wins) from Saturday Night's Main Events that led up to WrestleMania. A second version of the pay-per-view features pop-up trivia facts during the matches. A nice touch, but I don't think we need to know where Aretha Franklin was raised.
All in all, I think diehard fans would want to own this, but just know that it's nothing special; it's just the event on DVD.
I would have added some behind-the-scenes footage of prep work for the Silverdome or maybe some comments from Pontiac city officials from 1987. But while that may have not been available, or it's lost behind the Von Erich video library, it would have added some nostalgia.
Basically, buy it so you know you have a copy of the first great WrestleMania.

It's no secret that fruits and vegetables are good for you. But are you eating enough of them?
Fruits and vegetables contain a unique combination of nutrients and healthy compounds, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals. Diets rich in these plant-based foods are associated with a reduced risk of cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart disease, and macular degeneration; increased energy and stamina; and a bevy of other health benefits. Five servings of fruits and vegetables per day is a good start, but recent research suggests that adding a few more servings would be worth your while.
What's the Evidence?
Below is just a sampling of recent research that supports the recommendation of eating more fruits and vegetables.

And he did it on live television!
Before President Barack Obama's health care reform signing today, VP Joe Biden turned to the Commander in Chief -- and with the microphone on -- whispered to his boss, "This is a big f**kin' deal."
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs must agree. He just Tweeted: "And yes Mr. Vice President, you're right..."

PITTSBURGH (AP) Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers have done a good job with their no-huddle offense so far this preseason. Thursday night's game at Philadelphia should provide a new challenge.
''We'll see if we'll do no-huddle on the road, which is usually a little different,'' Roethlisberger said Monday. ''Whether we do that or not, I don't know, but that's usually the good part about trying to get at least one series of no-huddle on the road, because the communication is a little tougher.''
Roethlisberger said there was one ''very minor'' mistake by the starters in a 19-16 win over Buffalo on Saturday night but otherwise he was pleased with the progress. He threw for a pair of touchdowns during his three series of work.
One of the goals against the Eagles will be to refine the hand signals the offense uses when trying to push the pace in hostile territory.
''We did a little test this year, and this week is going to be the last week,'' Roethlisberger said. ''I bring the running backs, wide receivers and tight ends in, and we give them a five hand-signal pop quiz. They have to write down what play is called and the route that they have.''
When the results are tallied, players with the three lowest scores have to buy pizza and wings for the entire offense. That includes the offensive linemen, who don't use the hand signals.
That's fine by left guard Ramon Foster, who figures he's going to get a free meal either way.
''All we need to know is base, nickel or dime, so we're good,'' Foster said. ''That's 100 (percent) every time for us, so we're all in.''
Roethlisberger came up with this test, so he's keeping track of the scores.
''We have a running list that we brought from training camp, and it's in the quarterback room,'' Roethlisberger said. ''There aren't a lot of misses like you think, but it's pretty close.''
Second-year wideout Derek Moye is in a heated battle for the final roster spots at receiver, but he wouldn't admit if he's also atop Roethlisberger's dubious list.
''It's been going pretty good, and I think everybody has everything down, for the most part,'' Moye said. ''But I don't want to call anybody out and say who's in the lead, the top three. But it's been a lot of fun, and we're learning all the little things we need to know about our offense.''
Roethlisberger also wouldn't reveal which players had the lowest scores to date, but he said the competition has ''about five guys'' in the running to foot the bill for the pizza and wing bash.
''We're starting to work real well with Ben, and we want to do everything we can to improve our offense,'' receiver Antonio Brown said. ''So, that's what we're trying to do.''
NOTES: Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said RT Marcus Gilbert only completed some of the drills at practice Monday due to a stiff neck, and TE Eric Waters is being evaluated for a possible concussion. . OL Graham Pocic and CB Dayonne Nunley were signed Monday, while OL Bryant Browning was waived-injured and WR James Shaw was released.

Mid-Day Head-shots is a new CanucksArmy feature where we round up today's freshest Canucks news including funny gifs, awesome videos, cool photos and interesting links. If you've written a Canucks blog-post and want it to be featured here, e-mail me at email@example.com.
Here's a very funny Kevin Bieksa interview from yesterday on the Fox 99.3's Jeff O'Neil Show. Bieksa on Ben Eager "he's a real piece of work."
From Nucksmisconduct – every Canucks goal scored last season. The video is 43 minutes long but it is awesome, and worth watching.
The Canucks will again host the 2011 Young Stars tournament in Penticton. The tourney will feature prospects from the Sharks, Jets, Flames, Canucks and the heavily favored Edmonton Oilers. The tourney runs from September 11th to the 15th and tickets go on sale July 16th. Hopefully we'll be able to stream the games again on Canucks.com, like we were able to do last year, so I can further fuel my Kevin Connauton man-crush.
Passittobulis' Daniel Wagner has a take on the Canucks efforts to suck up to Chicagoans by improving the local AHL team (and new Canucks affiliate) the Chicago Wolves.
Greg Wyshynski breaks down the personal and law-enforcement after-math of the Vancouver Riots.
InsideToronto profiles Chris Tanev's brother Brandon, who attended the Canucks prospect camp. (hattip to Nucksmisconduct)
Finally from yours truly – the Canucks added a couple of depth pieces this morning in goaltender Matt Climie and defenseman Alexander Sulzer.

Always test the lights before installation to ensure they work properly. After testing, we recommend disconnecting the battery before starting signal installation. The installation difficulty will vary depending on your application; depending on where you decide to mount them, it may require modification to the fairing.
- Once you pick a mounting location, you'll need to locate the existing Turn Signal Wires on your Motorcycle and identify whether you have 2 or 3 Wire System.
- For a motorcycle with a 3 Wire System: your Bike's Running Light Wires are not used for this installation as our lights are not designed or marketed for that application. See note below.
- For a 2 Wire System: the two wires coming from your bike should be the Turn Signal Power (Positive Wire), and a Ground (Negative Wire). Attach our YELLOW Turn Signal Wire to the Bikes Positive Signal Wire. Attach our BLACK Turn Signal Wire to the Bike's Negative Signal Wire.
- Test the light and ensure it functions properly prior to putting everything back together. If it works properly, repeat the process for the other side. Reassemble, Ride and Enjoy!
Do not over-torque the mounting nut onto the bolt when installing, it should be snugged, hand-tight and not forcefully clamped down. For the Plastic Bolts and Nuts you may use a little Silicon Plumbers Tape as additional security. For Metal Bolts and Nuts you may use a little Threadlocker as security (Medium/Blue).
***On the 3-wire system you will have one negative wire (ground) and two positive wires (1- turn signal / 1- running light). To figure out the positive wires turn on the ignition of your bike and activate the appropriate side turn signal. Connect the bikes ground wire to the signals ground wire. Next, touch the signals positive wire to one of the Bikes positive wires. If it lights up constantly, that is the Running light. If it blinks, it's the turn signal. This is the wire you want to use for turn signal applications. The extra bike's positive wire (running light) needs to be crimped/taped off and tucked away.

Photos: 108-year-old elm turns into art
A 108-year-old elm tree on the property of the John Brown House Museum seen Jan. 5, 2013.
The elm was one of 13 planted in 1905 as part of a Frederick Law Olmsted design.
The elm survived the New England Hurricane of 1938 and outbreaks of Dutch elm disease in the 1940, '50s and '60s.
It was diagnosed with a contagious canker called Sphaeropsis ulmicola in January.
The Rhode Island Historical Society is leading an effort to use the tree in pieces of craftsmanship and art.
Clarke Buchanan of Cape Cod Woodturners Club turned pieces of the tree into bowls.

Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people.

K Andrew's stamps are all made and assembled here in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained here in America.

A perfect pass from Diego Aliaga to Mark Babcock led to the only goal in a hard-fought 1-0 win by Wabash over Franklin in men's soccer Tuesday afternoon at Mud Hollow Field.
See pictures from the match here.
Aliaga dribbled down the left side of the Franklin defense in the waning moments of the match. After beating one Grizzlies defender, he launched a pass to Babcock in the center of the field. The sophomore defender turned and fired a shot past goalkeeper Matt Foreman with less than eight minutes remaining in the match to put the Little Giants in front.
Freshman goalkeeper Phil Rosborough did the rest, earning his first career victory with two saves in the shutout effort.
"I was very impressed with the way we kept our composure," head coach Roberto Giannini said. "Even when we were not able to score right away, we didn't get frustrated. We kept working and working, and eventually we did score."
Wabash provided offensive pressure all match long, outshooting the Grizzlies 22-4 with nine shots on goal to just two for Franklin.
"It's a good win," Giannini added. "Not just because we won, but because of the way we won. We played good soccer, we continued to do things the way we have been trained, and believing in what we were doing. Eventually it paid off with a goal."
Freshman Austin Jennings led the Little Giants with five shots and three on net. Ian Kelly, Dylan Andrew, Femi Oluyedun, Drew Kapsalis, and Aliaga also had shots on goal.
Wabash (5-8-3) travels to Ohio Wesleyan Saturday night for a North Coast Athletic Conference match.

Time was that Malibu's celebrity-studded Broad Beach lived up to its name. Not anymore.
In recent years, punishing winter storms and high tides have swept away much of the 1.1-mile oceanfront lined with the multimillion-dollar getaways of such notables as Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman, Pierce Brosnan and businessman-philanthropist Patrick Soon-Shiong.
To protect their seaside showplaces, residents have piled sandbags and built a massive emergency rock wall. Now, under orders from state coastal officials, they are fighting against time to seek a more permanent solution — permanent being relative in an era of rising seas and extreme weather.
They have spent millions of dollars on attorneys, engineers and environmental consultants who have scoured the coast from Mexico to Canada for a mountain of sand that could be dredged and moved to restore the beach to its original 100-foot to 150-foot width.

Drip irrigation can increase yields, allow more land under production when water resources are limited and save water and money. But you have to take care of the system if you want it to take care of you, according to Bill Cox, a consultant from Las Cruces, N.M.
Cox provided a consultant's perspective on drip irrigation at the National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants annual meeting, in Tucson, Ariz., in January.
"It's a wonderful tool for the farmer," said Cox, who first starting working with the technology in 1993. On one farmer's field in 1993, "our average red chili yields were about 16 tons per acre, which was extremely high at that time, and we were irrigating down the furrow. Based on the prices we received then, we normally expected to gross about $4,400 an acre."
Heavy tillage was also the norm. "We ripped, disked and worked the beds with several 250-horsepower tractors."
In addition, many farmers had to leave out part of their land each year simply because there wasn't enough water to go around.
Since drip was installed, average yields on that farm now exceed 40 tons and gross returns have more than doubled. "And we can farm all the land because we have the water. And we're down to one 250-horsepower tractor. When you figure out how much money drip costs you, look at the difference in yields per acre and how much more you can farm, drip doesn't cost you much at all."
Drip benefits include the ability to water every field, every day, if needed. Fertilizer is also delivered to the crop through the system of underground tape. "We use a lot less nitrogen because we put it where it needs to be."
Cox noted that after a drip irrigation, his growers can always get their spraying and harvesting equipment through the field.
He noted that a furrow irrigation was usually followed by a mulching trip with tractors to keep the soil from blowing. "With drip irrigation that doesn't happen much anymore."
There is a steep learning curve with the technology, according to Cox. "We almost had to forget everything we thought we knew about farming. Each crop is different. Each drip system is different."
One difference for Cox's customers is that large fields have to be micromanaged under drip. "With the amount of water we have available, we can usually manage a 20-acre drip plot at a time. So instead of a 100-acre field we have five, 20-acre plots now. Growers tend to plant something different on each one of those plots."
Cox says drip irrigation "is the single-best thing that's happened to New Mexico agriculture since I started consulting 33 years ago. Here are some tips on making drip work:
• "Drip will let you be a better farmer, but it will also make you be a better farmer. If you have a farmer wanting to dabble in drip who is a sloppy manager, who tends to let things slide, I'd steer clear of it."
• If you install a drip system, "you have to have GPS," said Cox. "We bury the tape beneath the beds and farm the same beds year after year. It's harder than you think to harvest the same rows year after year. You move a little bit in the wrong direction with a piece of equipment and before you know it, you'll see a wet spot under the furrow.
"We have some harvest operations where we tend to pack the bed over the tape. We have to run spikes or chisels within 3 to 4 inches of the drip tape. With GPS you can do that. It's sad when you get to the end of the field, you pull the equipment out of the ground and you have all these black ribbons hanging behind it."
• If you have dirty water, especially water containing fine silt, purchase a sand media filter. "We have some that are 15 years old and still running."
• Design the system for the crop you're going to grow. "With cotton and corn, which are planted in the middle of the row, you can run the tape deeper. In situations where you're planting four to five rows on a bed, you want to wet the entire bed, so the tape needs to be shallower. The sandier the ground, the shallower the tape should be."
• Be careful where you put your first drip system. "Put it on good ground first. Be sure to get your ground right, no humps or holes."
• Maintain your drip system. "Gophers love to chew holes in drip tape. You have to flush the system, and chlorinate the system. Since 1993, a few of our growers have replaced their drip tape twice, others have replaced tape and the filters and others are still using the same system. It's all a function of how well you take care of it."
• Don't scrimp on drip tape. "The more money you spend on tape, the less time you'll spend plugging holes in it. One grower got a good deal on some lightweight drip tape on a brand new system. They put in the system, which was on some pretty rocky ground, then went in with a bed shaper. The activity pushed the rocks into the drip tape and punched holes in it. When they turned the water on, it looked like the dancing water show at Seaworld. It took them weeks to get the system running."
• Ideal spacing for emitters for us is about 12 inches, because we want to get the entire bed wet," Cox said. "If you were going with cotton, you could probably go to 16 inches and perhaps go to a bigger block size. Your block size is determined by how much water you can put out."

Sandwiches not shelves
C'ville Coffee Company has been serving coffee and treats to parents and tots, students and business people since it opened in November 2000. But now, the family friendly coffee shop has added a full line of gourmet sandwiches featuring bread from Albemarle Baking Company and Boar's Head meats.
When owners Toan Nguyen and Betsy Patrick opened C'ville Coffee in the Allied Business Park on Harris Road just off McIntire, some folks claimed the industrial location meant the business would never fly. Nguyen and Patrick have proved those naysayers wrong.
The new sandwich menu may be further proof of C'ville Coffee's success. It features deli sandwiches including top picks such as the Blue Bayou, roast beef on an olive oil baguette with blue cheese spread, red onions, horseradish sauce, lettuce and tomato; and the Berry Turkey, maple turkey on country white bread with brie, mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, and lettuce.
Nguyen and Patrick make the sandwiches themselves in the new kitchen, constructed in the back of the space over the past four months. Customers will continue to place orders at the front of the shop, then pick up their food at a window in the rear.
The couple recently closed down their other business, Shelf Life, a custom shelving and craft boutique which shared the C'ville Coffee space, because, Nguyen says, "We couldn't focus on three things at once and do them all well." Eventually, he says, the former Shelf Life space will be stocked with tables to serve as a "quiet area" for people having lunch meetings or for those who'd prefer to be further away from the rambunctious little ones.
Water Street dining takes new direction
Some brave souls are preparing to take possession of the former Petra spot on Water Street, according to a recently posted ABC sign on the front door.
Restaurant watchers will recall that the space housed The Silver Fox, a gay and lesbian bar, then Farruggio's, a family-style Italian spot, before Petra: An American Bistro took over in 2000. Neither business made it longer than two years, a fact Dish attributes to the small frontage and the big-name neighbors, Oxo, Metropolitain, and Mono Loco.
But hope springs eternal, and perhaps this time will be the charm. According to the sign, the new business' name is East to West, and it will be run by the husband and wife team of Stephanie Nixon and Justin Martin.
We caught up with Nixon just before presstime, and learned just what direction East to West will take.
Nixon explains that they're "freshening it up" to give it "a fun atmosphere" that'll be slightly more casual than its predecessor. Prices will be in the mid-range, and the international menu will feature western-style dishes (meat with side veggie and side starch) with an Asian influence.
A UVA grad, Nixon, 25, most recently worked as general manager of Mono Loco, just a few steps up Water Street. She'll continue in that role at East to West, and will leave the cooking to her 24-year-old husband Martin, who was chef at Mono Loco. (We were hoping Nixon would tell us "I am not a cook," but for some reason it just didn't happen.)
As for the location's none-too-stellar history, Nixon says, "I don't think it's the space. We're really excited about it."
Since both Martin and Nixon have worked on the same block, they're friendly with the neighboring restaurants so Nixon anticipates a "fun level of competition."
We say, bring it on!Read more on: albemarle baking companyC'ville Coffee

Pictures at a Revolution
One pauses before assigning too much significance to the voting patterns of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. After all, this is the estimable organization that deemed Doctor Dolittle worthy of a Best Picture nomination in 1967. Yet sometimes the academys choices reflect the national mood in a unique way. Take 1967, a year in which the academy also nominated The Graduate, Bonnie and Clyde, Guess Whos Coming to Dinner and In the Heat of the Night, which took home the prize. Watch those filmsthe subject of Mark Harriss recent book, Pictures at a Revolutionand you will get a good sense of the sexual and racial politics of American society at the time.
Now take a look at 2007. The Best Picture nominees included a morality tale about the awakening of conscience of a corporate lawyer (Michael Clayton), an exploration of the American drive to wealth and its devastating consequences (There Will Be Blood) and a parable about the persistence of evil (the eventual winner, No Country for Old Men). Junothe story of a pregnant teenwas decidedly lighter fare, but succeeded in skewering both pro-life and pro-choice sentiment. So what put filmmakers in such a somber, contrarian mood? Perhaps it was demoralization brought on by the lengthy war in Iraq. Or maybe it was the poisonous rhetoric of the culture wars, which has left a younger generation of artists tired of the same old bromides. It is too early to say, of course. Only with time will the tremors that roil us now emerge as cracks and fissures that we can examine clearly.
Erudite and Exuberant
William F. Buckley Jr.s death in late February deprived the nation and American Catholics of an erudite, exuberant and often truculent pontificator on American political and religious life. Obituaries detailed the more famous of his many contretemps over the decades, but one of his lesser-known verbal battles involved this magazine. Criticizing John XXIIIs 1961 encyclical on economic development, Mater et Magistra, Buckley riffed on a popular anti-Castro slogan of the time in the pages of National Review: Going the rounds in Catholic circles: Mater sí, Magistra, no!
To some of us, Americas editors responded, it has always been extremely difficult to tell just what Mr. Buckleys conservatism was trying to conservelines spoken to the Pope just shouldnt sound like lines pitched at the editors of the New York Post, and they reminded Buckley of an old, old conservative adage: Qui mange du pape, en meurt (roughly: He who takes a bite out of the pope dies of it.) Barbs flew back and forth over several months, during which time one subscriber wrote in to America to say: Cancellation, sí! Refund, sí!
In a personal letter to the editor of America, Buckley defended his position but added: I take no objection to your denouncing the flippancy as having been in imperfect taste. I am quite prepared to subject myself to the criticism of my elders on such matters. He also identified the real author of the Latin quip as a Catholic scholar in Virginia. Who was that? A former Jesuit, who had left the order four years earlier: Garry Wills.
Name That Child
What name do you give your child? With this question to the parents, the priest begins the Catholic rite of baptism. Years ago, one expected in response the name of a saint, like Mary or John. Today, the name may well reflect an entertainer or sports hero, like Jayden, Britney, Reagan, Ashley, Angelina and Kyle. The television show Greys Anatomy has helped make the names Addison, Isabelle, Bailey and Callie more popular. There seems to be a new spirit of creativity in giving names and, indeed, in spelling them. One person found 34 ways to spell Callieor is it Kallee?
In 2007 the most popular names given for boys were Jacob, Aidan, Ethan, Matthew, Nicholas and Joshua; for girls, Emily, Emma, Madison, Hannah and Hailey. Johnny Cash once sang of a A Boy Named Sue; now we hear from Tiger Woods of a girl named Samhis daughter, Sam Alexisbecause Tigers dad called him Sam.
True, according to canon law, a baptismal name need not be that of a saint. The only guideline is: Parents, sponsors and the pastor are to take care that a name foreign to Christian sensibililty is not given (No. 855). How different from many African traditions, in which the grandparents, not the parents, give the name. Names in Africa are very religious too, some with meanings like love of God or gift of God. In many African cultures, the day of the week on which you were born becomes part of your name. Elsewhere families choose a babys name from among the names of parents, grandparents, uncles or aunts. Connections with religious, cultural and family traditions definitely are becoming weaker. Different values are clearly at work in the choice of childrens names. If the Latin tag Nomen est omen (A name is an omen) is true, what future awaits?

April 7, 2005
NORTON, Mass. - MIT scored seven runs in the top of the eighth, but it wasn't enough to overcome a 17-hit onslaught by nationally-ranked Wheaton College, as the Lyons roared to their fourth straight conference win with an 11-10 victory against the MIT nine. Wheaton rallied from an early 3-0 deficit with 11 unanswered runs to escape becoming the Engineers' ninth victim in 10 games.
Three hits led to three runs for the Engineers in the top of the first. Kyle Zeller and Warren Bates kept pace with each other as Tech's top run producers with RBI hits, while MIT scored another run during a three-error inning for the Lyons.
Enduring the rocky start, Wheaton chipped away at the lead with runs in four straight innings. Freshman Jake Yagjian capped a three-run fourth with a two-run double that gave the Lyons their first lead of the game at 5-3. Fellow rookie Pat O'Conner extended Wheaton's lead to 7-3 with a two-run homer in the fifth.
After O'Conner connected on his second homerun of the game in the seventh, the Lyons added three more runs during the frame and moved ahead 11-3.
All but done, the Engineers prolific attack proved capable again of a big inning. Highlighted by Aaron Kent's three-run bomb, MIT scored seven times in the eighth. Zeller plated a pair of runs with a single, while Ricky Tydus drove home two more with his third triple of the season. Kevin Wheeler lined a pitch hard to right field in the ensuing at-bat to end the stanza, leaving the tying run at third.
Freshman Louie Bernardini struck out two batters en route to a perfect ninth and his first save of the season for Wheaton.
Cranking out 17 hits, the Lyons were led by O'Conner and Yagjian. O'Conner went 3-for-5 with four RBI, two runs, two homers and a stolen base. Yagjian was 2-for-4 with four RBI, two doubles and a walk.
For MIT, Zeller paced the bats with three hits, three RBI, two runs and a double, while Tydus went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run and a triple.

25 percent of the nation's hires were in New York
New York State Labor Commissioner Peter M. Rivera announced Tuesday that approximately 250,000 New Yorkers who sought help at one of the department's career center locations landed a job in 2012. Nationwide, more than one million people were hired using states' workforce career centers. New York career centers were responsible for one quarter of the nation's hires in 2012.
With the New Year, job seekers are encouraged to visit any of the 91 career centers to get help finding a job from proven expert career counselors.
"The numbers speak for themselves - we helped more than a quarter of a million people get jobs here in New York," said Gov. Andrew Cuomo. "That number represents more than 250,000 people who may not otherwise have found employment. I commend the staff at our career centers and congratulate everyone who found success through our programs."
In 2012, New York's 91 career center locations helped thousands of job seekers get jobs using technology and new job search tools to find job leads and get hired. Career centers emphasize the importance of networking, using social media, and targeted job hunting. This, combined with expert assistance in résumé preparation, interviewing skills and training opportunities, can help prepare job seekers for jobs available now. Career counselors are able to locate job opportunities across the state using a network of job vacancy search engines, including Cuomo's Jobs Express site http://www.labor.ny.gov/jobs/regional.shtm
"This shows plain and simple that our system works," said Department of Labor Commissioner Peter M. Rivera. "We encourage anyone looking for a job in New York, even if they have been there before, to visit our career centers and see what's new in 2013."
Job seekers can find the location of career centers across the state by visiting the State Labor Department website at www.labor.ny.gov or by calling 1-888-4-NYSDOL (1-888-469-7365).

We've already ranted about the little annoyances of Ubuntu Unity in our earlier article. Though there are many things that are just plain wrong about Unity at this moment, one bad feature that sticks out like a sore thumb is the elusive launcher.
Well, I won't say that it's a complete mess, but right now it does need a lot of work. Also, there are plenty of blokes out there who like the launcher. Well, good for them. But as a long time Linux user, I find that fat bar on the left a bit too annoying. If you (like me) are looking for some worthy alternatives to the new Ubuntu Unity launcher, read on as we discuss some great replacements that would fit your needs.
Classic GNOME Panel: Well, this one's pretty obvious but we'll include it as a recommendation anyway, just in case you've forgotten about it. The classic GNOME panel, when compared to those used on other modern desktops like KDE, Windows 7 and Mac OSX, has a bit of primitive feel to it. If you're used to opening too many windows at once, the panel gets crowded way too quick, which is the reason why many people have either switched to docks or Unity. However, if you're a die-hard GNOME 2.x fan, I know you'll be more than glad to overlook such minor annoyances. To switch to GNOME 2.x, just go to Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) session menu at the bottom edge of the login screen and choose the 'Classic Ubuntu Desktop' as your session.
Docky: This is perhaps the most popular dock for Linux. It sits nicely at the bottom of your desktop, managing your windows efficiently without any clutter whatsoever. With some great features like panel mode, multiple hiding modes, themability and extensions support, Docky makes it easier for new users to bring some of the best features of Mac to their Linux desktop. Docky, by default, ships with 6-7 nice themes to dress up your dock to your liking. If you want to add more themes, you can browse through and download some great community-created themes on their wiki page. You can also extend Docky's functionality by enabling some amazing docklets and helpers it comes with. These extensions allow you to do things like checking unread mail count, check the weather and much more right from the dock. The best thing about Docky is the fact that it has been around for a long while hence it will hardly give you any chance to complain about issues like stability. Also, it is being actively developed so don't expect that minor little bug you just found to stay around for ages.
Website: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Docky
Apt Link: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/docky
AWN: After Docky, Avant Window Navigator (AWN) ranks as the second most popular dock for Linux. Instead of being a traditional dock, AWN gives the users a more panel-like feel while navigating through their windows. Despite being under heavy development, AWN is very stable and solid. The panel is as customizable as the aforementioned Docky, with a plethora of themes available for it. As far as extending the functionality goes, AWN is way ahead of Docky. Instead of docklets or helpers, AWN relies on applets that add that extra zing to your dock. Some of the popular applets include ones like Stack applet (for Mac fans), Terminal applet, weather applet and many more. There are a few users who have rated AWN as a much better application than Docky. However, opinions are bound to vary from user to user. So, make sure you try it out and let us know if it's as awesome as they say it is.
Apt Link : http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/avant-window-navigator
Download: https://launchpad.net/avant-window-navigator/
GLX Dock or Cairo: GLX Dock or Cairo Dock is the only fully open-source built dock using the OpenGL standard library (hence the name GLX Dock). It is one of the most customizable docks around, and yes, it provides all the nice features like transparency and themability. Since it is written in OpenGL, Cairo dock works smoothly under GNOME, KDE as well as XFCE desktops. Like Docky and AWN, here too, you can extend the dock's functionality by adding some great applets like Pidgin and Web Search. Overall, a great alternative to the two popular docks we've mentioned above.

Jennifer Pazienza ('85 M.Ed., '89 Ph.D. Art Education), professor of art education, University of New Brunswick, is the keynote speaker for the Ninth Annual Graduate Research in Art Education (GRAE) Conference, to be held at Penn State, October 25-27, 2013. She will open the conference with "Beautiful Dreamer," at 7:30 p.m., Friday, October 25, in 112 Borland Building. Her presentation, in which she will address the images that come to mind when you think of landscape, beauty, and justice, is free and open to the public.
Pazienza's dissertation, "Historical Modes of Inquiry: Teaching Art to Children," focused on a playfully rich, re-creative teaching and learning scenario, The Lost Las Meninas, a who dunnit and more! Students in grades K-5 investigated the seventeenth century Spanish Baroque painting, interpreting their findings in drawings, paintings, oral debates and writing. She extended re-creativity and critical inquiry to her work as a painter, exploring interdependence and non-duality. Pazienza has published widely, worked as a research consultant in North America, Europe, and Asia, and maintained a studio and exhibition practice. Her work is held in public, private, and corporate collections in Canada, the United States, and Italy.
The purpose of the Graduate Research in Art Education (GRAE) conference, founded by Graeme Sullivan, director of the School of Visual Arts, and Karen Keifer-Boyd, professor of art education and women's studies, is to provide a forum where students can discuss issues and developments in art education that are being opened up by current graduate student research.
The 2013 program will feature dissertation and thesis research presentations from Ohio State, Penn State, Syracuse University, and Teachers College graduate students, along with a response panel composed of Penn State alumni, including Pazienza, Robert Sweeny ('04) and Marissa McClure ('08).

On the other hand, does anyone know how to disable the beeping on a kitchen timer? I'm going to get one for the test so I can keep my own time, and I don't want it confiscated.
On second thought, I'd like to recommend the Silent Timer.http://www.silenttimer.com/
Did you take the Feb06 test?
Can you wear earplugs during the real test? That would be GREAT.

University Reprimands Reporter For Livetweeting Basketball Game
from the because-who-would-ever-want-to-watch-the-game-when-you-have-140-character-update dept
This "can't give away too much" attitude has gone past just broadcasts of the game directly to the way that sports teams and leagues seek to control reporters and what and how they report. While they can't legally tell them what they can and can't do, they do have control over who they provide press passes to -- and then threaten to pull those passes if they disobey "the rules." These rules often seem focused on the same kind of "restrictions" in hopes of getting people to show up live, even if that's impossible.
Thankfully, these rules rarely seem to be enforced, but the University of Washington recently instituted a "Live Coverage Policy" for credentialed reporters that says they can only provide a maximum of 20 "in-game updates." A reporter for the Tacoma News Tribune, who was live tweeting a recent game, was reprimanded for going over his allotted 20 tweets and daring to go all the way up to 53. Not surprisingly, the reporter, Todd Dybas, then Tweeted about the reprimand:
Also, tonight I was reprimanded by the University of Washington for tweeting too much during a live event.— Todd Dybas (@Todd_Dybas) November 12, 2012

HUNTSVILLE, TX (10/25/12) Sam Houston State University is developing a laboratory test to detect the use of bath salts, a new designer drug that was added to the list of illegal substances by the Drug Enforcement Administration in 2011.
Sam Houston State University received a federal grant from the National Institute of Justice to create a test for key components of bath salts in biological samples in crime labs.
Bath salts, also known as synthetic cathinones, were legally sold in convenience stores, head shops and on the Internet until being included on the list of illegal substances through an emergency order by the Drug Enforcement Administration in October 2011. These drugs, that are capable of producing powerful hallucinogenic and adrenergic effects, are routinely seized in drug cases around the Houston metropolitan area and throughout the nation.
"Bath salts are the new breed of designer amphetamines, and they pose a number of challenges for law enforcement agencies from a public safety and public health standpoint," said Sarah Kerrigan, Director of the Forensic Science Program at Sam Houston State University.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, bath salts also have adverse effects including rapid heart rates which may lead to heart attacks and strokes, chest pains, nosebleeds, sweating, nausea, and vomiting. Those who abuse the substance also report agitation, insomnia, irritability, dizziness, depression, paranoia, delusions, suicidal thoughts, seizures, and panic attacks.
According to a 2011 report from the National Drug Intelligence Center, drug users are attracted to bath salts because they can evade most drug tests and, as a result, it may not be detected in impaired driving cases or death investigations.
"Analytical limitations for state and local forensic toxicology laboratories impact criminal and death investigation casework, and these deficiencies can have serious criminal justice consequences," Kerrigan said.
While bath salts are easy to detect in seized samples, such as pills, powders and capsules, once they are ingested, they pose a number of challenges in the toxicology lab. The Department of Forensic Science will develop a procedure to detect at least eight of the most common components found in bath salts in biological evidence. These components include mephedrone, flephedrone, methylone , butylone, ethylone, methedrone, MDPV, and naphyrone.
Many toxicology labs use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to identify drugs in biological evidence. The new study will target a wide variety of the new designer drugs using one procedure.

In West Virginia, A Home Built With Love… and Straw Bales
(Welcome to Julia Brooke Hustwit, one of the finalists for our Green Architect blogger search. She's writing from Brooklyn. Comment away!)
Thabo Fisher and Michael Weaver were hiking in Uganda when they got into an argument over whether it was still possible to build a house with one's own hands. The long-time pals, then in their early twenties, knew that they would be coming home from their trip to face the inevitable: friends moving away, getting married, having kids. They wanted a way to keep everyone together, and it occurred to them in that moment that if they could build a home-away-from-home for all of their friends and family, they might be able to do just that…
Shortly after their return to the States, in July 2003, Thabo and Michael began construction on a plot of land along the Greenbrier River near Lewisburg, WV. At first, they planned to build a traditional log cabin, but they found themselves torn over the idea of cutting down so many trees. Seeking a more environmentally-friendly solution, the pair learned about construction with straw bales, which are resource and energy efficient, fire and sound resistant, inexpensive, and easy to use. Over the course of the next year, the two friends worked full-time, building the house primarily from straw bales and salvaged wood with the help of over 100 visiting friends, family, and curious strangers who volunteered their time to the project.
The 1,000 sf home contains a great room, a full kitchen, 2 sleeping lofts, and 2 porches. It is heated by a cast iron cook stove that was purchased from a classified ad and is kept warm by the highly-insulating straw bales. A rainwater catchment system supplies fresh water for use in the house, while a greywater filtration system allows used water to return safely to the land. A composting toilet and second-hand furniture round out the home's green features. The house cost approximately $16,000 to build.
Five years later, what started as a debate about possibilities has turned into living proof. Michael was right: you can still build a house with your own hands. And the vision of community that these two friends shared has become a reality. Their home-away-from-home is used about 30 times per year by an extended network of gathering friends and family, keeping everyone exactly where they belong: Together.
Thabo Fisher currently lives in Brooklyn, NY and Michael Weaver lives in Portland, OR.

There are plenty of things we do as mothers that will probably embarrass our kids when they get older. The way we talk. How we want to hug and kiss goodbye. When we cry at dance recitals. The photos we take. And in this age of social media, there are so many photos out there of our kids doing all kinds of things. Pooping on the potty. Picking noses. Making really strange faces. Breastfeeding. All things that if someone posted of us, we'd be mortified, but because it's a kid, it's cute, it's natural, it's beautiful even. Then there are those intimate moments that happen that are so unique to mother and child -- and Elinor Carucci created a photo diary series called "Mother" that captured images from when her twins were in the womb until 8 years old. The images are not without controversy.
One photo shows her son who seems to be around 5 pulling down her underwear and marveling at what he sees.
The commentary on these photos ranges from people who see the beauty in them, the "depth of humanity," then there are the ones that call it a "crotch shot" and "creepy" or "strange." Some believe the child is going to need therapy as a result.
I see a moment unique to motherhood in this image -- in all Carucci's images. I feel it simultaneously shows the innocence of a child and the closeness that comes with being a mom. This is a moment that many mothers have had with their sons or daughters. The photo of the boy pulling down his mother's underwear, I will admit, could be me. My children are very curious about bodies -- their own and mine, their father's. We don't freak out and hide from their curiosities because we don't want to give them an unhealthy view of nudity. Not all nudity is pornographic. It's the same people with that unhealthy view of nudity who have an issue with seeing a mother breastfeed.
My children (I have twins as well) know their anatomy by name and they ask about the penis and vagina and what they call Mama's milkies. I tell them ... the truth -- the truth that works well for my nearly 4-year-olds, but those moments we have had aren't documented in photographs for the world to see. That is where you once lived, kids. You lived in my belly for nine months before you were born. And you came out of my vagina. (Or you came out of a pocket in my belly for all the c-section moms out there.)
I'm not sure it's what we are seeing that is the issue -- I would guess that most parents have encountered the very same kind of moment. It's that the image is out there forever. Carucci's children, however, are now 8 and I'm sure she consulted with them on releasing these images to the public. The fact that her son said yes to this being out there tells me that they are an incredibly open and healthy thinking family. Hopefully he feels the same at 16. This family seems close; they have a bond; and all the photos I've seen in this series are real -- even the "staged" ones. They are all parts of motherhood any one of us could have experienced and probably have. They are all moments Carucci beautifully captured. She said of her photographs:
I thought becoming a mother would change who I am and I wanted to reflect that. Things change, not just our bodies. There is something that unites us all in becoming mothers. It's not the purely beautific Madonna and Child. I hope it reflects a universality.
Motherhood is challenging. It is frustrating and beautiful and whimsical and intimate and bewildering and magical and mindblowing. It's naked and raw and honest. It's full of questions and answers and more questions. It is everything. And everything we are is everything to our children who in turn want to know everything. Isn't it up to us to tell them the truth? To be real and honest instead of uptight and closed off?
What do you think of this image and Elinor Carucci's series "Mother"? Does it go too far? Is it wrong to have an image of your child like this out there?

News that Paris Hilton had signed a record deal with Cash Money Records heated up the blogosphere Wednesday.
Many thought it was a joke that the label that made superstars out of Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj would sign the heiress. But it's true.
The 32-year-old is plotting her return to music with the popular hip-hop label. With online commenters burning up Twitter wondering how it happened, Cash Money co-founder Bryan "Birdman" Williams said the deal was a no-brainer.
"She's always supported us, and we've supported her. It was a friendship first," Williams told Pop & Hiss. "She played us music, and I was taken aback. I was impressed by her music, and I didn't know she could sing so well."

The Saints' scoring total in their first four games went 45, 48, 27, 24. And now, against what I figured was the NFL's most complete team, the New York Giants, another 48. The 48-27 vivisection was not a result most people anticipated.
The Saints' offensive output is impressive. The teams they've destroyed — the Eagles, Giants and Jets — even more so. Against those three, New Orleans has scored 120 points. Right now, the Saints offense is playing at a level that conjures comparisons to the two other offensive juggernauts of the past 10 seasons — the Rams and the Patriots.
I didn't think the Saints would be able to deal with a team as complete as the Giants. New York is solid in all facets, on offense and defense. But when one team starts scoring at will (New Orleans scored 34 in the first half), it prevents teams from focusing on their usual gameplan.
Brees is able to perform at this level because of the talent at every skill position, not just receiver. Early in the game, he threw off three-step drops with slants and short slings to receivers and running backs. And the Giants front, which is always so daunting, got gassed and had nothing to show for it. Except a 14-0 deficit.
Which leads to the next domino. You just don't come in as an offensive coordinator saying, "We need to score 50." When the equation changes mid-game, that adjustment can be difficult. And so it was for Eli Manning. He went a blah 14 for 31 for 171 yards with a TD and a pick.
New Orleans is going to get a different challenge next week — the Dolphins and the Wildcat on the road in Miami. If the Dolphins can control the ball on the ground and keep Brees on ice, we'll see a side to the Saints they haven't had to show. A resourceful one.
Bad move, big guy
The Giants' karma went bad in New Orleans right about the time Brandon Jacobs broke off a long run, ran out of bounds then yakked in the face of a Saints cheerleader.
Almost time to turn to Vince
Expect to Vince Young sooner rather than later. Speaking before the Titans-Patriots game, Titans GM Mike Reinfeldt acknowledged that the $4 million roster bonus Young is set to receive next March means they have to "do something" with Young. The "something" could be appealing to Young to restructure his deal (probably unlikely) or deciding to part ways with him.
Before Tennessee does that, though, it wants to be sure with Young. Even though he's practicing much better than he was in 2008 when he melted down, he still hasn't been tearing it up during the week. But at this point, the Titans know that Young is a player who's much more effective in games than he tends to be in practice. And they want to have as much fresh information on Young as they can before deciding to pay him that roster bonus and the $6 million salary they'll owe him in 2008.
Tennessee has a bye next week. Count on seeing Young against the Jaguars on November 1.
Throw back the throwback jerseys
OK, enough with the throwbacks. In three out of six games the Patriots have worn their throwbacks. The novelty has burned off.
That's why they pay him the big bucks
Apparently, this passes for climbing out on a limb. In comments distributed by CBS' PR department, Dan Marino, said of the Indianapolis Colts, "They have a chance to win every game because of Peyton Manning." Bold.

Stocks closed sharply lower Thursday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke offered no new insight into whether the central bank will act soon to prop up the economy.
In a speech closely watched by investors, Bernanke said the Fed will consider a range of steps at its Sept. 20-21 meeting, but he offered no specific plans. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 100 points shortly after Bernanke's remarks began at 1:30 p.m. Eastern.
"The implications are that the Fed is going to act, but the market is disappointed because he was a little short on details," said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James.
Concerns about the U.S. economy have pushed stocks lower each month since April. Many traders now say the stock market is pricing in the assumption that the economy is in a recession, meaning limited job growth and a weaker corporate profits.
President Obama will lay out his jobs plan at a joint session of Congress tonight. He is expected to announce a $300 billion package that includes tax cuts, additional state aid and spending on infrastructure.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 119.05 points, or 1 percent, to 11,295.81. The Standard & Poor's 500-index fell 12.72, or 1.1 percent, to 1,185.90. The Nasdaq composite shed 19.80, or 0.8 percent, to 2,529.14. Each index had posted gains earlier in the day.
Cisco Systems Inc. led the 30 Dow stocks with a 2.6 percent gain. JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp and Boeing Co. each fell 3 percent, pulling the average lower.
Investors received mixed economic data before the market opened. First-time applications for unemployment benefits rose last week to 414,000. Economists had expected 405,000. The prior week's estimate of new claims was also revised higher.
The weekly report on unemployment applications is an important economic indicator for investors. Rising claims can add to concerns that the job market is stalled and the U.S. economy is headed for another recession. Applications need to fall below 375,000 to indicate sustainable job growth. Last week the government reported there was zero job growth in the U.S. economy in August.
Not all of the economic news Thursday was negative. American exports of cars, airplanes and other goods reached an all-time high in July, the Commerce Department reported. Economists said the jump in exports suggest future growth in the U.S. economy.
"The market is sitting around and trying to piece it all together, "said Rob Stein, the founder and global head of asset management at Astor Asset Management. "For all the volatility that we've had recently, the market is going nowhere."
OpenTable Inc., a restaurant booking and review website, dropped 8 percent to $57.50 after Google Inc. announced it was buying OpenTable rival Zagat, a publisher of restaurant reviews in print and online. Pall Corp. slumped 10 percent, to $44.03, after the maker of filtration equipment reported earnings that fell far short of what analysts were expecting. Pall dropped the most of any stock in the S&P 500 index.
Yahoo Inc. jumped 6 percent to $14.44 after Third Point, an activist investment fund, disclosed that it has bought a 5.2 percent stake in the troubled Web portal and called for sweeping changes to the board. Yahoo's board fired CEO Carol Bartz on Tuesday after 2 1/2 years on the job. She harshly criticized the board in an interview published Thursday.
Four stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was lower than average at 3.7 billion shares.
