PAMS of Dallas (Production,Advertising and Merchandising Services)was the most famous jingle production company in American broadcasting. The company was founded by Bill Meeks in 1951, and produced identification packages for radio stations around the world, as well as some commercial music. It suspended operation in 1978, and in 1990 was revived by another company, JAM Creative Productions, which produces new versions of the classic PAMS jingle packages. JAM founder Jonathan Wolfert was employed by PAMS before he and wife Mary Wolfert started their own company in 1974. Many of PAMS jingle packages were used exclusively in the 1960s and early 1970s by Top 40 stations worldwide. WABC (AM) in New York City and BBC Radio 1 in the U.K. were two of PAMS biggest clients.

Pluggable authentication modules or PAM are a mechanism to integrate multiple low-level authentication schemes into a high-level API, which allows for programs that rely on authentication to be written independently of the underlying authentication scheme.
PAM were first developed by Sun Microsystems, and are currently supported in AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and NetBSD.
PAM was later standardized as part of the XOpen UNIX standardization process, resulting in the XSSO standard.
Pam Shriver (July 4 1962 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA), is a professional tennis player and sports broadcaster.
Pam came to prominence as a 16 year old at the U.S. Open (tennis) in 1978 where she stunned then reigning Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova in the semi-finals before losing to Chris Evert in the final.
Although it proved to be her only Grand Slam singles final, Shriver was consistently ranked in the top 10 for much of the 1980s, peaking at number 3 and she posted wins over former number ones Tracy Austin, Chris Evert and Steffi Graf during her career.
