Prevent Memory Loss
From Wired How-To Wiki
Do you get lost easily? Perhaps you're one of those people that always has trouble remembering where you put your keys. Or maybe you're always blanking out on your buddy's husband's name.
Such slips in your memory aren't only embarrassing, they are also usually a sign of worse things to come. The good news is memory loss can be slowed, or even stopped, with a few simple tips. These exercises will keep the rest of your body healthy and functioning, as well.
This article is part of a wiki anyone can edit. If you have advice to add, log in and contribute.
Keep active
Everyone knows that aerobic activity keeps your muscles fit. Unsurprisingly, jogging, swimming or biking can also increase the blood flow to your brain.
Multiple studies have shown that staying active three to five times a week can increase brain volume in an area called the hippocampus, which is responsible for some aspects of memory. Maintaining a healthy weight is also slightly correlated with improved word recall. So get moving!
For those of you who can't handle the monotony of a treadmill, programs like Fitbit or a $25 pedometer from your local sporting goods store can help you incorporate more movement in your everyday life. Don't feel like going to the gym? Walk the dogs another half-hour and see your calories burned and distance traveled tick steadily up.
Eat Well
As it turns out, your mom wasn't lying when she said fish was brain food. Omega-3 fatty acids have been correlated with a lot of positive health effects, including increased vascular health (there's that old blood-flow thing again) and improved concentration. Don't like fish? Omega-3s can be found in flaxseed oil, walnuts and soybeans, as well.
Add a little curry to your diet. Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its distinctive flavor and research indicates that curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, may benefit memory. Peer-reviewed research by Dr. Sally Frautschy of UCLA (and others) suggests a positive link between curcumin consumption and reduced rates of Alzheimer's disease. While anecdotal evidence indicates that turmeric benefits memory, the research has not yet proven a definitive link. While centuries of use would seem to indicate turmeric is safe published research indicates it has many effects and not all are positive -- for one, it may alter iron metabolism. It would be wise to investigate its uses, benefits and side effects before incorporating turmeric in your diet.
Stew over Sudoku
Remember that number puzzle craze a couple of years back? Sudoku's touted benefits go far beyond keeping you entertained during your morning carpool.
Among other similar studies, a 2009 Mayo Clinic report showed that exercising your brain is associated with a 30-50 percent decreased risk in cognitive impairment.
What does brain exercise consist of? Anything that requires focus and concentration: reading books, playing games and even handicrafts like knitting. A surprising memory-improving activity? Hanging out. Yes, social engagements require focus and concentration as well. So resist the urge to become just another absent-minded curmudgeon. Go to the cocktail party, even if you can't remember where you left your wallet.
Brain exercise without exercising your brain
Did you know that underwater swimming could improve the blood flow to your brain and thereby your intelligence?
[1] "An hour's total time under water, 2/3 minutes at a time, per day, over 2/3 intensive weeks should add an eventual 5/10 points "I.Q." to your intelligence and an immediate increase to the richness and span of your awareness."
The effects? [2]
- Increased awareness
- Increased attention span
- Thinking much faster
- Ability to retrieve more information from the memory banks.
- Thoughts flow more rapidly.
You will even exercise your body at the same time!
Careful though! This site doesn't cite any peer reviewed research; it could be just wishful thinking since his ideas are a little sensible but not verified.
Tidy up
Cleaning up the clutter on your desk could have a significant effect on clearing up the clutter in your brain. Why is that? Being conscientious and dependable are both character traits that help you resist cognitive decline, as well as the symptoms of Alzheimer's. Are you a perennial pack rat and slob? Start out small, by picking up for ten or fifteen minutes a day.

Thanks But No Thanks: 10 Pieces of Parenting Advice I Didnt NeedMeredith Carroll
I'm no parenting expert. Believe me. If I were an expert then it wouldn't have taken me four years and two kids to learn, as I did last week from a friend, that the high chair in our kitchen reclines.
But I'm kind of an expert on my own baby, Peony, who is now 10 months old. Or at least I know more about her than most everyone else.
I appreciate helpful, solicited suggestions from anyone who might be able to make my children happier and healthier than they already are. What I don't appreciate (and Baby's First Year's Lauren Jimeson doesn't either, by the way) are moronic, unsolicited tidbits of advice that necessarily mean the people dispensing it assume I'm (A) an idiot, and (B) seriously an idiot.
Here are the 10 lamest pieces of parenting advice I've ever received:
Don't let her manipulate you 1 of 10I'm so glad you said that. I took one look in her beady, little eyes when she was born and knew I was in for a lifetime of Machievellian maneuvers.
Now that I have some confirmation from you that she is, in fact, trying to con me left and right into getting more milk and comfort — the greedy, needy little bugger that she is — you can rest easy knowing she'll get neither. I'll show her who's boss!
Try holding her this way 2 of 10Oh, you mean this way? Amazing. I never thought to cradle my 10-month-old daughter to my chest. Thank goodness you came along to point that out to me. Would you mind sticking around? I'm not sure how we made it this far without you or how we'll go on after you're gone.
P.S. You are leaving, aren't you?
When she cries like that you need to feed her 3 of 10Oh, you mean I have to feed her? Is that what that crying means? Are you sure she's not tired or uncomfortable because she wants her diaper changed? No? You're convinced it's that she's hungry? And that's based on . . . the food you didn't see me feeding her five minutes before you walked in the door? Your advice must also be based on her hunger cues that you've intuited from meeting her exactly once? twice? before today.
OK then. Well, thanks! (For nothing.)
Get her on a schedule 4 of 10Great idea. I'll get right on that. Just as soon as she's done telling me why she's crying.
You need to keep a close eye on her in the bathtub 5 of 10Oh, come on. She's 10 months old already. If she doesn't know how to swim now, it's her own fault.
"Watch her in the tub." Pshaw.
Don't let her fall off the changing table 6 of 10But it seems like it'd be so much fun to watch my tiny baby fall off a table four feet in the air and smack onto the ground where she could snap her neck or break her leg.
Put a heating pad in her crib to help her learn to fall asleep on her own 7 of 10I'm just not cut out for this parenting stuff, clearly. Otherwise it would have occurred to me before you just said it to put an electrical cord in my baby's crib while simultaneously exposing her to something that could potentially aid in overheating, and therefore killing her since her body can't regulate temperature when she's so little.
Thanks, pal!
Give her some Benadryl to knock her out 8 of 10It's like you've read my mind. When I was pregnant I daydreamed about the ways I could make my unborn baby comatose once she was born so that she wouldn't bother anyone else on an airplane. Because that's why we have babies, right? To look at them when they're quiet and sleeping and pray they'll never wake and, heaven forbid, annoy the entitled person with the smelly deli sandwich seated next to us while flying?
By the way, were you going to mention to me that some babies on Benadryl actually don't sleep at all but instead stay awake and get über-hyper instead? Oh, did you not know that?
Moving on, was there any other medical advice you wanted to dispense from inside your shared, windowless office cubicle?
Enjoy every moment 9 of 10Not every moment, right? Oh, you really do mean every moment? I'll tell you what, I'll enjoy that sweet moment after she's been fed and bathed and is smelling all baby-like when she's snuggled up in her fresh pajamas and is all sleepy.
And then I'll let you come over to enjoy changing her crib sheets at 3 a.m. after her diaper blows out, and after that's done, you can also enjoy trying to get the dried pumpkin banana spit-up/puke out of the Oriental rug in the living room that was there from a few days ago but I just couldn't get to because I was too busy not enjoying her standard 5 p.m. it's-too-early-for-bed-but-clearly-she-needs-to-sleep-now meltdown.
Oh, so you didn't really mean every moment?
Sleep when she sleeps 10 of 10Finally! Someone has granted me permission to sleep through a phone call with my mother-in-law and sleep while paying the bills and sleep while picking up the stuff on the floor that would otherwise cause someone to fall and break a wrist, and sleep in the car (who cares if I'm driving?).
Because I'll get the stuff done that I need to do when the baby is awake.
Because she probably won't need me then, right?

Medicine and Society
"Disease necessarily reflects and lays bare every aspect of the culture in which it occurs"
— Charles Rosenberg
Course Description
There are complicated, constantly shifting relationships between society and its medical institutions. This observation is not new. In the early 20th century, Dr. Henry Sigerist, the Swiss medical historian, wrote: "Medicine is a mirror of society," explaining that it reflects the values that society holds. For Sigerist, disease reflected injustice and poverty, and studying medicine necessarily involved a study of society.
Such views complement the biological, technical view of medicine that underlies much of what you will learn in your other courses over the next two years. Understanding social contexts of medical work is essential to the effective practice of medicine in any society.
The course will help you appraise and reflect critically on the world of your future profession. What causes health? Is it the outcome of medical intervention, or the natural consequence of "good" genes, or the result of good political arrangements and favorable economic conditions? What causes illness? How do persons and families understand illness? What are the relationships between culture and medicine? What ethical dilemmas confront physicians? What are the options for reforming the U.S. health care system? How is our sense of social justice embodied in the arrangements we make to finance and deliver health care? How do we manage dying in America? To answer these questions, you need perspectives from different social science and humanities disciplines.
This course enables you to deepen and build on your undergraduate foundations in humanities and social sciences, to examine how American medicine came to be the way it is, what our health care system is like now, and what could be done to alter or improve it. If physicians are to be significant actors in developing and shaping health care, it is important that they practice critical reflection about how their roles in society are shaped by social forces. Understandings of disease (from alcoholism to breast cancer to AIDS), and definitions of what is normal, are imbued with social and cultural values; interpretation of medical facts and employment of medical judgment draw on a rich heritage of professional and personal ethics; and the physician-patient relationship is built on knowledge about a person's experience, perspective, needs, interests, and rights, as well as on habits of inquiry and empathy and skills of communication and listening. All these observations are drawn from a body of social medicine disciplinary knowledge to which you will be introduced in this course.
The progression of topics explored in the seminars and assignments of Medicine and Society exemplifies three themes: 1) social and cultural factors that influence health and health care; 2) ethics and the physician's role; and 3) organization and financing of health care. These themes are interwoven throughout the course. This interweaving itself emphasizes the tangled relations of medicine and society: ethics in the physician's role, for example, are intricately related to cultural concerns, and to structures of organization and financing. These relationships will emerge in seminar discussions and lectures, and you can expect to apply insights from this course to your other learning experiences.
Course Objectives
During this year-long course, we will raise issues through readings, discussions and three large group sessions. The core of this course is the directed discussion that takes place in your seminar groups. We ask you to read carefully and critically all assignments made by your seminar faculty, and to come to class prepared to discuss the issues fully and freely. We invite you to bring your own examples, experiences, and knowledge to bear in addressing the issues and assigned materials—but if you rely mostly on what you already know, you will dilute your own and your fellow students' learning. Course faculty members come from clinical, social science, and humanities backgrounds and bring to the seminar sessions significant experience in interdisciplinary research and teaching.
The purpose of seminar discussion is to develop and strengthen your habits of critical thinking, interpretation, and reflection about course issues. The purpose is not to instill a particular point of view. The course is not a forum for "politically correct" thinking; nor is it a forum for merely sharing opinions and emotions. We are concerned with reflection, thought, and open discussion of issues that will follow you throughout your careers, and that will need continual, reasoned revisiting. The course is intended to introduce you to fields of knowledge that address Social Medicine questions, and the tools and methods of inquiry employed by those fields, as well as to foster breadth of viewpoint and the development of interpretive skills and moral imagination that you can use throughout your professional career. We do not give exams, and you will not find Social Medicine questions per se on your Boards. This is partly because the "answers" in Medicine and Society are many and changing, not suited to multiple choice questions, and not easily memorized. Evaluation will focus on your writing, analysis, discussion, class participation, and comprehension of major concepts underlying the relationships between medicine and society.
In summary, the course objectives are:
- To increase knowledge of ways in which social and cultural contexts affect disease, experiences of illness, and the roles of physicians;
- To develop critical understanding of historical, educational, and ethical forces that shape physicians and doctor-patient relationships;
- To increase knowledge of social, political, and economic forces that influence the organization and delivery of medical services, and opportunities for health care reform.

College student with brain tumor. Doctor has given no real hope. The excruciating headaches are likely to increase in frequency and duration. Eventually, he will lapse into a coma and die. He has just found out the new recently. People are treating him as if has become some different person. He can't handle the sympathy. If pressed by the liner, the student should identify serious suicidal potential. High risk.
Mother whose daughter committed suicide about 2 months ago. People have gone back to their usual routine and the expectation is that she, too, will return to normal. In reality, she has just begun to grieve. She is depressed, confused, questioning, looking for answers, and flirting with being angry with the daughter that suicided.
Caller hardly speaks and when he/she does, it is monosyllabic. There are long silences. Sentences are started and stopped midway through. Thoughts are not completed. The caller almost seems distracted. If the liner can get any information, the caller's problem is his/her reaction to a recent divorce. He/She feels that the divorce indicates a real failure, a personal disgrace, a humiliation.
Seemingly happy go lucky caller who seems frivolous and devil-may-care. The conversation seems to go nowhere; almost silly. As the call goes on, the caller becomes drowsy and incoherent. It should become obvious that this frivolous caller is in the process of committing suicide by a drug overdose. If the liner doesn't pick up on this, the caller should eventually pass out leaving the phone line open.
College grad who had planned on a career in medicine is not accepted to any medical school to which he has applied. His/Her life had been totally centered on this goal and now it feels as if the world has come crashing in around his/her head. Complaints should be somatic, i.e., unable to sleep, loss of appetite, weight loss, sadness, energyless, etc. Classic depressive position. No suicide, although hopefully the liner will ask. If so, the "no" should sound real and not like an evasion or denial.

It was one of those games that fans will be talking about for years.
The game was Tuesday night when Concordia's men's basketball team defeated Arizona Christian, 112-111, in double overtime in the championship game of the Golden State Athletic Conference tournament.
This one almost went to three overtimes, but Tim Harris sank one of two free throws with 4.6 seconds left to win it.
It was a great showcase for the Golden State Athletic Conference, which doesn't get as much exposure as the Big West Conference, which UC Irvine belongs to.
This game happened to be on national television on Fox Sports Network and the fans were treated to quite a game.
Concordia, the defending NAIA champion, is seeded No. 23 in the national tournament and will open with No. 12 William Carey University from Hattiesburg, Miss.
"We've gone nine out of 10 years, we would have hated to miss having a chance to defend our title this year so we're extremely happy," said Concordia Coach Ken Ammann.
TV exposure for Eagles
Concordia has been on national television before, but for the first time, its conference championship tournament game was televised on Fox.
"This was without a doubt the best GSAC final I've seen," Ammann said. "It was a great crowd with high energy. It was maybe the most enthusiastic crowd we've had. It was one of the greatest college basketball games on the West Coast, without question, Division I, II or III, or NAIA. It was a high level game.
"We don't get on TV much so we wanted to make the most of our opportunity."
Irvine swimmers shine
Scott Hinman's Irvine girls swimmers are having an excellent season.
The team had several CIF qualifiers during the first week: Emily Jiang in the 200 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley; Iman Bourdi in the 100 backstroke and the medley relay team.
On Saturday, Irvine was third with 266 points in the Villa Park Relays behind Santa Margarita (319 points) and Capistrano Valley (274).

So you're taking your baby on an airplane. Good luck with that.
A baby is the only time bomb you're allowed to carry onto a plane without being cavity-searched by a disgruntled TSA worker. Keeping her happy is tricky, but it CAN be done. Before you cancel your family vacation to grandma's house, Disney, Vegas or wherever you're gonna let loose with your baby, here are some tips to ensure that everyone has a safe and stress-free flight.
Throw your feeding schedule out the window.
Make sure you have loaded bottles on-hand for takeoff and landing. It helps with baby's ears popping the same way the $17 martinis do for the folks in first class. Schedule feedings during takeoff, but if you get off-course don't worry about breaking away from your baby's schedule. It's just one day, and if four extra ounces of milk or a bottle earlier than usual means she has a more enjoyable flight, it's worth it. Plus, if your baby is one that falls asleep after eating, people will fawn over her and comment on how awesome you are at parenting. Then you can congratulate yourself with a $17 martini.
Don't be afraid to act like an idiot.
Fact: babies love to watch people make idiots of themselves. Watch anyone who's ever tried to get a baby to smile. They look like Ace Ventura interrogating a dolphin. That said, if acting kooky usually gets your baby going, be the kookiest person on the flight. Invite the stranger next to you to help. Just because you're surrounded by 200 other people who can hear your every word, you shouldn't be self-conscious about doing goofy things your baby likes – funny noises, singing, Ray Lewis Squirrel Dance, whatever. If you're that concerned with what everyone thinks, I promise they're going to be happier with you acting weird than your baby screaming.
Do not board the plane first.
As much as you want to roll past the babyless commoners who have to board when called – HA! Losers. – when MC Flightmaster summons those with infants to board, do NOT get on the plane. This isn't Disney World, and you're not jumping to the front of the line for Space Mountain. You should want to spend as little time as possible on that plane, especially when it's stationary, hot and filled with a stagnant line of folks fighting for carry-on space. Instead, savor that extra 10 minutes outside because once you board, you're trapped. When you make your grand entrance, hopefully your baby does something cute to win the passengers over. If she doesn't, do the Ace Ventura thing. Some people might laugh, but they'll definitely leave you alone.
Wipe down everything. EVERYTHING.
Our daughter caught her first stomach bug on a plane. She pooped awful liquid for three weeks.
Bring a spare outfit. For the baby, too.
Speaking of poop, babies find the most inappropriate times to do it. If at 20,000 feet your baby decides to empty her bowels, there isn't much you can do. You can try and brave the sardine can that is the airplane bathroom, or you can just wait it out and eye the man next to you suspiciously so everyone thinks he's the culprit. Either way, that diaper's probably not going to hold until landing, so your little one's going to need a change of clothes. Chances are, your clothes won't survive the explosion either. So unless you want the rest of your trek through the airport to resemble Moses parting the Red Sea, pack yourself a change of clothes too. If you forget, at least you won't have any trouble fighting through baggage claim.
The biggest thing is to focus on your baby and not the reactions of others. If you get a dirty look from that 22-year-old father-of-none because you interrupted his quest to beat Angry Birds, just remember that one day he'll have kids of his own. And they'll probably hate flying.
Have you flown with a baby? What tips do you have for surviving the flight?

Depression during pregnancy?
I am 16 weeks and finally got my energy back and am able to do things I used to do but I am extrememly unhappy. I am depressed about everything in my life. My job, my marriage, my family, etc. It's like I don't see fun in things anymore. I have never had many friends and I am assuming it is because I look at everything so negative. I hate being this way and I make things awkward sometimes when all I do is point out the negative. I hope it isn't worse after the baby. I can changes in my face and I just don't feel good about myself or anything else for that matter. Anyone having difficuly staying positive?

I totally understand what you're going through. I'm just about 12 weeks pregnancy and I'm so miserable. I'm uncomfortable, depressed, etc. I'm also unreasonably jealous (towards my boyfriend) and very insecure. I know its just hormones and it will pass, but its very hard to deal with things at times. I just keep trying to remember that being pregnant is a blessing and I also need to try to stop taking everything so seriously. It's been helpful to talk to other women who have been pregnant so I don't feel different and ungrateful. You're definitely not alone. Keep talking about it cause it makes it easier and it's ok to cry. Don't feel bad, it will pass and we will look back at this and think how much we overreacted. Good luck and take care.posted 02/17/2010 by 1stbabyforAmber
It's somewhat normal to feel emotional during pregnancy.The main reason being the hormones. But when it prevents you from functioning normally, its a problem and you need to seek medical attention ASAP.posted 02/17/2010 by Gigi Mom2B

5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.
Pumpkin is a delicious, thoroughly American ingredient that has been ubiquitously linked to Thanksgiving and pie since that autumn eve more than 300 years ago.
And while everybody who is anybody loves them some pumpkin pie, sometimes it's fun to try a new spin on a classic. That's where Claire Thomas comes in.
Thomas, the host of "Food for Thought," says no matter how you roast bake, or purée it, you can enjoy pumpkin from now until the patch is empty - without breaking out the pie dish.

3. It's the Great Pumpkin (cake), Charlie Brown
The addition of pumpkin and butternut squash create an earthier flavor and richer texture, plus the addition of classic pumpkin pie spices (ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.) turned up the volume on this autumnal dessert. It ends up becoming the Great Pumpkin Cake, so be sure to have at least a dozen friends around to try it."

Quinoa is a super grain: high in protein with couscous-esque texture and nutty flavor. Perfect with an herb dressing, spices, or honestly whatever you feel like, it's that adaptable.
In fall and winter, I love this salad with sautéed kale, butternut squash, a little pecorino and maybe some persimmon for sweetness. So get a little creative and have some fun with it, and please try the roasted fennel - it's like candy."

CoolIT Eliminator Review
Admin - 2007-01-02 21:26:29 in CPU CoolingCategory: CPU Cooling
Reviewed by: Admin
Reviewed on: January 4, 2007
: Coolit
: Coolit Systems
Price: $199 USD
IntroductionLast month we had the privilege to take a look into Coolit's Freezone CPU cooler. That unit used TEC (Peltier) cooled water, in a "chiller" module to cool the CPU. Being the first of its kind, Coolit was basically pioneering this field. This month we have the unique and very privileged chance to take a look at their latest addition, the "Eliminator" CPU cooler. This unit has the same basic design as the Freezone, although it looks to be a little bigger. Only time will tell us if they worked out the few bugs that the Freezone had and if this Eliminator is actually an improvement over the Freezone. However, with the slated $199 price tag, this cooler will definitely be grabbing more of the market than the Freezone. With the smaller price and hopefully the same kind of performance, this will make the Eliminator a CPU cooler for the masses.
Closer LookI received the Eliminator very quickly, so as with all things that I receive in the mail, I checked out the initial condition of the box, found that it had no shipping damage, and then proceeded to open it up and take a look at this beastly cooler. And what a beast it turns out to be! Coolit has used an open face box showing off the unit which seems to be a more consumer shelf level approach to packaging.
The unit is longer than that of the Freezone as it has a longer plate, but at the same time, it is also narrower than the Freezone.
Taking a peek underneath the cover, there looks to be 3 separate Peltier units mounted on a central radiator, each with a block for coolant mounted on it. Following the path of the tubing, the unit appears to run these blocks in series, pumping the coolant through each block then back to the CPU block to cool your raging processor.
They also seem to have removed the fan flaw that was in the Freezone. They replaced the entire section with a new setup and bolt-on design that removes the need for users to modify it.
The most noticeable improvement of the Eliminator is that they have integrated the controller module, so you don't need to make any of the old hookups. There is also a switch to set your cooling preference.
The tube running to the CPU block appears to be a little on the short side, so you may run into an issue with a larger case. All the mounting hardware that ships with the unit will allow you to install onto virtually any hardware, as this is supposed to be a universal cooler.
Enough with the looking, onto the install!
InstallationInstallation of the Eliminator is pretty easy if you ask me. Just unscrew your old rear case fan, unclip your CPU cooler, and it's ready to go. After removing your stock cooler, you will need to clean off the leftover thermal paste before mounting the Eliminator block. I like to use rubbing alcohol as I always seem to have it around. A little bit on a rag will wipe the old paste right off and leave you ready to apply the new paste.
Now apply your preferred thermal paste. A good rule of thumb is that if you are using anything other than air cooling, you should switch from Arctic Silver 5 to Arctic Silver Céramique as your thermal paste, as it performs slightly better under colder conditions. Once you have cleaned off the old paste and applied the new paste, you can attach the Eliminator block to your CPU, plug in the power, and secure the unit where your old case fan was. The usual way of installing the CPU block entails removing the stock 939 retention bracket, and threading in a couple of standoffs. On my motherboard (DFI SLI-DR), the standoffs would not reach down to the threads, and I was forced to use an adapted retention module that i was using with my old cooler, which modifies the 939 to a Pentium 4 mounting scheme.
And before you know it, Bam! your new cooler is installed and ready to rock. Pretty simple if you ask me. This is a great achievement on Coolit's part as it makes this cooler really appeal to the novice.

For testing this unit I will be running all tests twice; once on maximum cooling and the second time on the silent setting (least cooling). On each cooling setting, the computer will sit at the Windows desktop for 15 minutes for the idle temperature and then 30 minutes of Prime95 will be run and this will be used for the load temperature. I will also test with my CPU running at a stock speed of 2.2 GHz as well as at a stable overclock of 2.9 GHz.
Test Setup
- 2 x 1 Mushkin Redline XP4000
- 2x320Gb Sata 2 HDD's
- Enermax 600W Noisetaker
- Creative Audigy 4
- Windows XP Professional
Results for the tests are as follows:
(Please note, all temperatures are in °C) - Please note that on stock cooling, as well as the Eliminator on Silent, the overclock of 2.9 Ghz was not stable.
ConclusionAfter using this cooler for a couple days, I was surprised at the cooling performance that was achieved. The dead simple installation of this unit makes it perfect for a person who is looking for better or quieter cooling. This cooler comes fit for both enthusiast and amateur. The simple installation and great performance make this cooler a real worker. Coolit took their great Freezone, reworked & removed the bugs and now we have this. A perfect fusion of performance and simplicity that is known as the Eliminator. If you are looking for a cooler that gives adequate cooling at an affordable price then take a moment to look into the Eliminator. As easy to install as a new air cooler and the performance of liquid cooling in an easy to install, "snap in" package.
- Simple install
- No maintenance
- Near silent operation
- A little big
- Heavy
- Might have clearance issues in a small case
- Tube length could be longer

Interpretome, a new tool to explore your genomic dataJun 20th, 2011 | By Trey | Category: Featured, Learning, Tutorial
Interpretome is a tool created by a team at Stanford that allows individuals to explore their genomic data (currently from either 23andme or Lumigenix) in new ways. There are ways to explore your ancestry, health and drug response data. Additionally, there are some exercises to try out and a 'SNP' lookup tool. I've put together a short video tip to get you started. This will show you how to get your data from 23andme, get it into Interpretome and start exploring ancestry. I'll do another 2 tips over the next couple weeks to further explore the tool (more ancestry and clinical). Additionally, Daniel at Genomes UnZipped and Blaine at Genetic Genealogist have both written up about it and you might want to check out those posts.
For the novice, much of the terminology used might be a bit opaque. It's worth trying out though because you will learn more and also get a sense of the things that you can know from your genomic data and those that aren't so clear.
To make it easier for the 'rest of us,' I'm going to explain some of the concepts and terminology in this blog post (focusing on ancestry for now):
PCA*: The "Principal Component Analysis" basically, in a sentence, attempts to place your genome in the geographic or ancestral context of many other genomes. Similar to what 23andMe's global similarity analysis does, only it allows you to play around with the options.
Over the last decade there have been several projects to determine human diversity. These projects have taken genomic data from many different individuals from several populations. What the PCA analysis allows you to compare your genome to these and see where you fit. There are several sets population data to compare with. Some from the "Human Genome Diversity Project" and some are from "HapMap" (wikipedia article) or POPRES . Each of these are divided regionally.
You pick a region to compare to and a 'resolution' (pick the highest if you have a few moments to wait). For our purposes choose PC1 and PC2 axes.
Also, make sure you choose the 'full descriptions" instead of the abbreviations when you are able. The population abbreviations can be useless. They don't supply them for the HapMap populations, but you can see them here for the HapMap2 data, and here for the more recent (and in progress) HapMap 3 data.
You will notice from your analysis that your placement will change depending on the resolution, populations used and axes. The take home from this is that your placement is 'fuzzy' and you should take it as a guide, not gospel. If you are mixed race or of mixed geographic origins, the placement will not be precise. For example, a friend of mine is of mixed Arabic and Northern European heritage. PCA analysis puts him smack dab in the middle of Southern Europeans. From PCA analysis alone, he'd have a difficult time teasing apart his ancestry. It's illustrative, not determinative.
Ancestry Painting: This is similar to the tool by the same name at 23andMe. As populations expand and migrate, there are genomic 'signatures' that are inherited and passed on. They are also lost. This tool looks for those signatures and attempts to determine which you've inherited from which population. You have a choice to compare with the HapMap 2 data (which looked at 3 basic populations, European, Asian -Japanese/Chinese- and African) or the more extensive (but not yet complete) HapMap 3 data that looked at 11 separate populations.
Again, as with above, you will need to realize some caveats. These 'signatures' can be lost over time depending on which half of the genome you inherited from your parents and which half they inherited from theirs and so forth. Basically, the rule of thumb is that signatures from 5-6 generations back will most likely be seen, further back the chance of that 'signature' being lost increases substantially. It doesn't mean you don't have that "Native American Great great grandmother," it only means that her signature is gone. Here's an example. We have an African ancestor in my maternal lineage. A signature of that heritage shows up for myself and my mother (same location on chromosome 8), but not for my brother. He didn't get that segment of my mother's chromosome when the egg was formed.
Also realize that the analysis can change depending on what options are chosen. If I do HapMap 2 using the default advanced settings, I get 100% European. Just a little tweaking of those settings and I get significant African heritage and a bit Asian (Native-American descended paternal grandmother). If I do HapMap 3, my chromosomal segments are placed with Italians and Gujarati Indians** in Houston, Texas. A bit of tweaking will get me the African ancestry in Southwest USA and the Gujarati Indians in Houston, Texas again.
Again, illustrative, even informative, not determinative.
*PCA is a non-trivial mathematical procedure
**I am 99.9% sure I have no Gujarati ancestors from the last 300 years.

Review of new immunomodulatory agents in the treatment of multiple sclerosis
P.W. O'Connor (Toronto, CAN)
This past year has seen dramatic developments in the Phase-3 clinical trials of Natalizumab in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The two trials of monotherapy and combination therapy demonstrated robust clinical and radiologic efficacy with few side effects and a favorable impact on quality of life. Nonetheless, the development of two cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) resulted in removal of the medication from the United States market, cessation of all administration of this or similar agents and the launch of an extensive search for any other possible cases . As of this writing, the search continues. The two cases of PML were originally identified from individuals with MS treated in the combination therapy trial. A third case originally incorrectly diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor was retrospectively identified from a Crohn's disease study involving natalizumab and other immunosuppressants.
The search for an effective oral therapy in the treatment of relapsing-remitting MS continues. Four immunomodulatory agents being assessed include Laquinomod, Teriflunomide, Cladribine and FTY-720. Preliminary safety and efficacy data are in hand and all are currently in or near a Phase-3 trial. However, there exists a heightened sensitivity to the safety of these putative therapies in light of the natalizumab story.
Several novel agents are in Phase-2 development including monoclonal antibodies to IL-2, IL-12, CD-20, and chemokine receptors. However, it has become increasingly difficult to enroll patients into placebo - controlled Phase 2 studies because of concerns over the ethics of placebo arms, as well as safety. The practice of requiring enhancing lesions on entry MRI scans in Phase 2 trials, while methodologically sound, further hinders, if not cripples, recruitment in today's environment.
The results of separate ongoing Phase 3 trials of interferon beta-1b and glatiramer acetate vs. placebo in clinically-isolated syndromes are awaited with great interest. The findings of these studies may provide further proof of the hypothesis that treating milder (earlier) MS patients with immunomodulatory therapy provides for greater relative efficacy as compared to waiting for more advanced disease.
Other studies of note include normal vs. double dose interferon beta-1b , Campath vs. interferon beta-1a, combination therapy with interferon beta-1a and glatiramer acetate , and autologous stem cell transplantation with high-dose immunosuppression.
Finally, steroids have emerged as a potential disease-modifying agent in relapsing-remitting MS although further study is needed. The optimal dose and route of steroids for the symptomatic treatment of acute relapse is also under review.
Patients with progressive MS represent an under-studied population that has significant and increasing disability. Whether immune modification of any sort will be helpful in these patient groups is an open question. The results of the ongoing studies of rituximab in primary-progressive and myelin basic protein fragment in secondary-progressive MS are much anticipated.
In conclusion:
1. It is possible that one cannot attain high efficacy through immunosuppression in MS without the risk of major adverse events, ie, there could be no 'free lunch' immunologically- speaking.
2. Going forward, the safety of putative therapies in MS will be of much greater concern than was previously the case to patients, their neurologists and regulatory agencies.

Historical Collection
A local history and genealogy department provides materials to assist you in finding out more information about your ancestors. The Library has the McComb Union Cemetery Records available on the computer and is updated yearly.
The Library houses the Congressional Medal of Honor that was awarded to William Bensinger, who received the honor for his part in the Andrew's Raid, during the Civil War on April 12, 1862. Mr. Bensinger was a native of McComb and is buried in the village cemetery.
The Medal was presented to the library by the daughter of Fred Bensinger, Mary Frances Bensinger of Fostoria.
Bensinger and a fellow McComb native John Reed Porter, who also is buried in McComb cemetery, were decorated by Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton on March 25, 1862 for their part in the 22-man raid behind enemy lines during the war between the states. Known as the Andrew's Raiders, their mission was to sever enemy lines of transportation in an important segment of southern territory between Atlanta and Chattanooga.
The men took over a northbound train, setting bridges afire and cutting telegraph lines as they went north. Being pursued by the southerners they finally had to abandon the train a little over half way to Chattanooga. They took to the woods and were eventually captured by the southerners. Eight of the 22 men were hanged by the Confederacy with the two McComb soldiers being sent to a southern prison. Porter later escaped, and Bensinger was an exchange prisoner. Mr. Bensinger died in 1918 and Mr. Porter in 1923.
The Congressional Medal that was first presented to Bensinger plus another medal designed in subsequent years, and sent to the family is on permanent display at the McComb Library.

Committee Reflects on Successful Brussels Visit
Session: 2009/2010
Date: 06 October 2009
Reference: AGR 07/09/10
The Northern Ireland Assembly's Committee for Agriculture and Rural Development has reflected on the success of its recent visit to Brussels and the EU institutions.
Speaking following their return to Northern Ireland on Friday 2 October 2009, the Chair of the Committee, Mr Ian Paisley Jnr said: "The Committee is delighted with the positive outcomes that were achieved during the course of the visit to Brussels. In particular, we are pleased that we have been given opportunities to influence the decision-making process in respect of our fishing and dairying industries. We will be progressing these with the Department as a matter of urgency."
Mr Paisley continued, "We were struck by the willingness of those that we met to focus not just on their particular responsibilities, be they fishing or dairying or animal welfare, but to look at the wider picture and the results of their decisions on Northern Ireland.
"As we repeatedly stated, what might seem as a minor decision in Europe can have a very major impact in Northern Ireland. This was very favourably recognised by the Commissioner for Fisheries, Joe Borg, and senior officials from Commissioner Fischer Boal's office who accepted that the wider rural and Northern Ireland economy will be affected by decisions that will be taken in Brussels over the next few months."
The Deputy Chairperson, Mr Tom Elliott, stated: "It was a very opportune moment for the Committee to be in Brussels, particularly as the European farming unions were also meeting that week. The UK farming unions have an office in Brussels and we were able to hear firsthand not only of the similar difficulties being faced by farmers and rural communities throughout Europe but also examples of best practice that we can carry forward in our industry."
Mr Paisley concluded: "The Committee undertook a very intensive programme, with in excess of 15 meetings with key European personnel and this intensity was recognised by the majority of those that we met. But it was important that the Committee met with as many key people as possible in the short period available.
"This programme gave us the opportunity to personally meet many of the key policy-makers in Brussels, bring the concerns of our farmers, our fishermen and our rural communities and place these concerns before those with the authority to make decisions and ensure that they are incorporated directly into the decision-making process.
"This will not be a one-off exercise, however, because the Members of the Committee and I are committed to ensuring that the Northern Ireland rural economy, our rural families and our rural community remain at the fore, wherever decisions are being made that impact on their daily lives."

No weird bicycle collection would be complete without the Alenax, driven by "Transbar power." One thing this page cannot convey is the pounding disco theme song that accompanied the expensively produced video that ran nonstop in the Alenax booth at the trade show, and the gorgeous and totally bored models paid to ride the bikes (on stationary stands) in lycra cycling clothes.
Someone spent millions of dollars on design, production and publicity for a product that my first ride revealed as the most bogus bicycle ever designed. The only way to sell one would have been to deny the customer the opportunity to ride it first. Of course, now I wish I had bought one, because it would be so collectible. This product deserves its own page and someday it will get one. For now, enjoy these morsels.

Isn't this special? An international "forbidden" symbol with the circle and slash over a traditional crankset. This was a sticker the Alenax company handed out at the bike show, symbolic of the intense publicity effort that failed to move this turd.

Keep science off web, says Royal Society
The Royal Society, Britain's national academy of science, yesterday joined the debate about so-called open access to scientific research, warning that making research freely available on the internet as it is published in scientific journals could harm scientific debate. The Royal Society fears it could lead to the demise of journals published by not-for-profit societies, which put out about a third of all journals. "Funders should remember that the primary aims should be to improve the exchange of knowledge between researchers and wider society," The Royal Society said....Open access proponents said the Royal Society position statement confuses open access publishing...with author self-archiving. The latter, which has already been carried out in some disciplines for years, relies on academics publishing on the internet articles that have been accepted by journals. A spokesman for the Royal Society said: "We think it conceivable that the journals in some disciplines might suffer. Why would you pay to subscribe to a journal if the papers appear free of charge?" PS: Does the RS want "to improve the exchange of knowledge between researchers and wider society" or does it want to subordinate this improvement to the financial interests of the publishing industry? ..."

The world's oldest scientific society has warned that the spread of open access journals — as well as open archiving — could have a "disastrous" impact on scientific publishing, possibly forcing some peer-reviewed journals to close. Proponents of open access deny this claim, saying there is no evidence to support such alarmist statements, and that its authors have confused various strands of the open access debate."

"Each project goes from idea to project to conclusion and equals great learning!" -- TOSâ"¢ Magazine
What great ideas! Open up this meekly bound projects book and watch out for the explosion! There's some real dynamite stuff in there! When first received, we flipped through this book and it happened to open to "Do You Really Want To Celebrate Halloween?". Since it was a few days before that fateful occasion we took an interested look at all the information! Wow! Judy presents the information well and gives tons of great resources to compliment the learning experience! This is also all done without going overboard on the subject which I though was particularly insightful. I was also excited to see her version of "All About Me", I loved doing a similar project with my preschooler to teach her all about her family, phone number, address and environment. Judy pays special attention to detail and really creates a wonderful learning and bonding experience! Another favorite project was "Family History" which she turned into an across the curriculum unit study! It includes all areas of study with several electives thrown in!
All projects can be utilized for almost any age group and with the list of resources provided, you could feasibly use for multiple ages too. Each project goes from idea to project to conclusion and equals great learning! And every projects includes investigating, doing and incorporating. There are 10 complete learning projects enclosed and ideas for dozens of others. The introduction is very informative and once you get through the whole book you almost can't stop yourself from creating new learning projects of your own! Judy wraps it all together by providing planning sheets and journal pages to really keep track of your projects and experiences!
Judy Shewmake is also the author of "The Adventist Home Educator Handbook" and co-author of "The Homeschool Primer". She currently conducts "At Home with True Education" seminars and is penning her next text "At Home with Home Organization"! And I want that one too! Thanks, Judy!

At Home With Learning Projects
By Judy Shewmake
Has textbook tedium set in at your house? Take a look at something new! Judy Shewmake helps to take the mystery out of learning projects and shows us how to use reading, investigating and doing to teach our children. She explains how learning projects work and gives us ten complete projects she has doine with her own children, including an all about me project, a family history project and an oceanography unit. My favorite was called "Wonderfully Made," in which the child makes a life-sized mural of the body, investigating all the systems along the way. She provides a planning/recording sheet to help us to plan our own units. There is also a nice listing of resources and an addendum of more learning project ideas. This little volume can be your gentle introduction to project learning.

Big Trouble Review
"Dear God In Heaven, Make It Stop! It Wants My Soul!"
April 2nd, 2002
Code Orange Alert #38239: Big Trouble
(No, this movie is not co-written by Matt Stone of South Park, as a lot of people behind me thought upon seeing end credits. It is written by Mathew Stone, a completely different person who hasn't done anything of note in previous years.)
My wet dreams are no longer occupied by a topless Christina Ricci lookalike in bicycle shorts eating a Dilly Bar on an abandoned bus bench with her legs crossed. Instead, they are built on a thin quenchless plot premise, which has The Orange, me, B. Alan, tirelessly searching for a glass of Knott's Berry Farm Punch. A desperate mad dash through my own lucid landscape, this reoccurring nightmare always ends at an Amusement Park soda fountain where the punch's plastic spigot has been ripped away from that invidious machine. These frequent reveries have left drool dripping down my chin into a pool on my deflated air mattress. I must be diabetic, because I'm dying from an insatiable thirst.
My raw, Scotch-soaked throat feels as though it's been combed over with a four-pronged stainless steel fork. Wishing for a bucket full of electrolytes was exactly how I stumbled into Big Trouble; hazy in a crusty-eyed daze where nothing but Knott's Punch was going to make me smile. I'd lost my will too laugh; memories of one truly awful film were still lingering about inside my tiny brain. Barry Sonnenfeld's Wild, Wild West is the exact equivalent of this fiery pain currently ripping apart my esophagus. Heeding Jeff Goldblum's sixteen-year-old warning: I was afraid. I was very afraid. Luckily, Big Trouble turned out to be just the juice I needed; drained in quick gulps. The film reaches into the way-back seat of Sonnenfeld's career, coming up as a worthy sequel of sorts to Barry's Get Shorty. Actually, it could be a sequel to any Dennis Farina movie ever filmed, because, after all, isn't he playing the same character in all of them?
Yeah, I thought so.
Big Trouble is a ceaseless down-trickle of wacky coincidences that do not so much make up a story as take our attention away from the fact that there really is no story. It's a mindless series of events stacked in one line like a pile of drunken, post-rape dominoes. That's not necessarily a putdown. The film reels out in bleats of fun, never drowning in Sonnenfeld's usual ocean of silly daftness. There's an energy spilt forth, here, that's super fast and candy-coated; you really don't have time to hate any of it.
This is due, in absolute sum, to it's inspired casting, which never fails too impress. The film sports so many faces that primary players are still being introduced 70 minutes into its 80-minute running time. Even the tiniest roles are trumped in in-depth characterization, which can be accredited to the cohesiveness between the actors and the written material. Watch Andy Richter and DJ Qualls: They have some of the most memorable moments, yet they clock less time than most everyone else in this motley crew. To say there are stand-outs in Big Trouble is too not look at the whole picture in one setting; though both Patrick Warburton and Zooey Deschanel work effortlessly in winning us over after only a second or two of screen time. Even Tim Allen is a little cheekier than we've seen him as of late, and I'm not a huge fan. If you're going to give this one the hit, hit it simply to see a wonderful team of actors having fun in the lens of a less than observant camera.
Each single scene wants to be it's own movie, tagged onto the next in an attempt to dish up something cohesive. The narrative zigzags like the best Seinfeld episode, and that should come as no surprise considering that most of this talent has ricochet off the face of television. The film is based on previously published material from Dave Barry, alerting one to some of the truly bizarre aspects that can creep out of Big Trouble's woodwork. Checking the film's rabid pedigree, it's no wonder this swims in sitcom soup. It's basically a human cartoon. The piece starts at a fever pitch and never slows down for a second. The thing is short at some 80-odd minutes, but there's enough material shoveled in deep to keep a dozen films afloat for a year. And it supports Heavy D as an FBI agent. You can't get much cooler than that.
Sonnenfeld relies on one basic ingredient: Stupidity. To push out BT's concept quicker than the film itself: We have a couple of Russian gunrunners who own a less than favorable bar. They happen upon a nuclear bomb that looks like a garbage disposal. Soon after, a plot weaved in macrame sees the bomb into the wrong set of hands many times over.
And Jason Lee likes Fritos. It's the little moments between point A and point F that make this ebb and flow a fun trip. Things work in release: Going back through with a clear eye will ruin its taste in pulp concentrate. We're basically given a pointless exercise in masturbation, yet when is free-form ejaculation ever a bad thing? Don't dwell on what you've seen, and it will all be okay. As for me? I always have to linger on what ruins the rug outside the shower door. I'm a headcase.
There are a few issues that are bothersome, maybe to me alone. One: Puggy, played by Jason Lee as an Earthy, God-like hippie who's never without an angelic glow around his head, opens the movie in narrative, then quickly passes us along to Tim Allen (who, unlike Lee, never talks directly to the audience in person, instead opting for a voice-over). Why? Because Puggy claims to have been locked in a trunk for most of the events here. Not true. Puggy is the only character present through most of the on-going proceedings, and he spends very little time in that trunk. Lee is an omnipresent force. Allen, on the other hand, is only here or there at any given moment. This doesn't jive with the core concept of the film. It does work in introducing absolutely every character (how does Tim know all these back-stories?), which is pure laziness on Sonnenfeld's part. He has given us a crib sheet to push things along at an expedient pace. This flaw can easily be overlooked while watching Big Trouble, but it irked me once things were over and done with. Sure, it doesn't distract from any initial in-your-seat enjoyment, so why bring it up? Because I'm a critic.
I'll even bitch about the beer, especially if it's expensive and you bought it. Someone has to bring life's little annoyances to your attention.
My second gripe with the film: I'll gleefully watch this for free and delight in its merry-go-round motion. I would never pay for it, just like I would never pay for any commercial that comes into play during my favorite show (which would be Cheaters). Why? Because, it's nothing more than a well-tuned Fritos advert: Witness Prominent Product Placement at feature length. There's an interesting "Kill Your Television" motif that plays throughout Big Trouble's duration. Any time a TV screen makes an appearance, it is met with a foot or a bullet. Is this a knowing wink at our actors, including Allen, Warburton, Richter, Janeane Garofalo, and Johnny Knoxville, who have all sprung from our living rooms and onto our big screens, liberated from their earlier careers? No, I don't think so. Here's my take on Sonnenfeld's technique:
TV, in its current state, is a wasteland used mainly as a marketing tool. With TiVo, and its unflinching cousins, viewers are able to dispose of all advertising completely. Commercials are disappearing from this televised landscape at a rapid rate. With Big Trouble, Sonnenfeld, a very 'commercial' director, is virtually saying, "TV, we don't need you." If a movie is entertainment enough, it can also be a bloated television commercial. Sad, but true, that's exactly what this is. But this one works, coming on like the best mid-game Super Bowl spot. The first thing I did upon exit of the theater was go to (generic fast food restaurant) and purchase a bag of these salty Frito-Lay corn chips. BT transcends most PPP (Prominent Product Placement) by using its intended product as a character and plot device rather than as obligatory set dressing. They are necessary, and, in fact, do have to be Fritos. The whole movie is basically hinged to this one food item. If it weren't for Fritos, Jason Lee would have never found his way to Miami. We wouldn't have this whole nutty affair. The whole concept is questionable, and it's really up to you, dear viewer, to decide if you want to pay nine dollars for an Infomercial.
I'm torn. I like the movie, but I hate the idea of PPP. It seems to be an exceedingly necessary fixture in our current age of cinema. Oh, well. I guess, above it all, Big Trouble is the best Snack Food sales pitch I've ever been invited too. I'd be happy to watch it between two real films on HBO. My advice to you: Wait and watch it somewhere for free.
PS: Alex and Brit, I'm still waiting for your call. I'm ready. I'm really, really ready...

By Rokur Jakupsstovo, Swimming World Scandinavian Correspondent
HERNING, Denmark, September 21. DANISH superstar Rikke Moller Pedersen has signed a one-year deal to move her training base to the Herning Swim Club this year ahead of Denmark hosting the European Short Course Championships in Herning later this year.
Moller Pedersen, a two-time world short course champion with a pair of triumphs at the 2012 Istanbul Championships, is loading up after an epic performance at the long course world championships this summer in Barcelona. In Spain, Moller Pedersen took silver in the 200-meter breaststroke after setting the world record in the event during semifinals with a 2:19.11.
Moller Pedersen is a Euro Short Course stalwart, having already won six golds and two silvers in short course continental competition since first winning the 200-meter breaststroke at the 2009 Istanbul edition.
"Rikke is a great acquisition for the Herning team," Danish National Head Coach Nick Juba said. "After breaking the world 200m breaststroke record at the World Championships in Barcelona, she went on to lower European short course standards in the World Cups that followed. With the European short course Championships being staged at Herning in December, the timing could not have been better for the club and the city."
The deal runs from Sept. 1, 2013 until Aug. 31, 2014, and is the latest feather in the cap of the Herning Swim Club. The club also has plans to build a new 50-meter pool by 2015 in what could lead to an oasis for swimmers across the country to head to the city. Moller Pedersen, however, will still put in training time at the National Training Center in Copenhagen.
"The Herning Swim Club board is unanimous behind this decision, and it has been important to our club that the project surrounding Rikke is fully funded by sponsorship contracts, separately negotiated for this particular project," Herning Swim Club board chair John Axel Hansen said.

The Hip-Hop community is completely shocked and saddened at the senseless killing of Cali Swag District member M-Bone, who was gunned down last night in his Inglewood, CA neighborhood. M-Bone was shot two times in the head by an assailant while sitting in his vehicle. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Over the course of the day fans around the globe shared their sentiments about the dancer who brought his unique style to the group, propelling them as one of rap's most promising collectives with their playful, feel-good tunes courtesy of their hit song "Teach Me How To Dougie." From Los Angeles, to Dallas, to New York, Cali Swag had everyone doing the "Dougie."
A fellow rap peer who had the pleasure of working with M-Bone on the group's remix for "Dougie," Jermaine Dupri, reflected on the fallen star's position within the group.
"I believe that he was the one that they all looked to to learn how to do the Dougie" said the platinum producer. "Everyone was about it, but he was the one who went hard with it."
According to Dupri, M-Bone was one of the members from Cali Swag who brought the Dougie back to the group and the West Coast region.
"That's my most significant memory about him…he was one of the main dudes who brought the dance back to them. The dance originated in Dallas and was brought to Cali. The members of the group are not from where the dance is from. He was the one who was really killing the Dougie."
JD noted that although M-Bone didn't lend his vocals on records, the dancer was considered an integral part of the Cali Swag movement.
"He was instrumental at showing people the dances. He was the main inspiration behind the creative dances that ultimately defined the group. He was the fourth member, who didn't rap, but played his position by taking the lead on creating unique dances."
The Inglewood Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward and call its homicide division at (310) 412-5246 or its 24-hour anonymous hotline number, (888) 41 CRIME, or (888) 412-7463.
Send your condolences to M-Bone here. Tweet to us at @MTVRapFix or leave us a comment below.

What used to be a Friday night tradition for many students has become a thing of the past. If it weren't for homecoming, many students there wouldn't be so much extra support to cheer on the football team.
They say all that school spirit is showing up in some illegal activities. Students say their peers are getting hooked on alcohol and partying, not school activities.
East High School parents say the worry that there's not enough for teenagers to do. So they've been trying to bring even more activities to football games hoping to bring back the school spirit.

Catfish bite still good in upper Neuse and Trent rivers, and their tributaries
Cut bait producing magnum-sized blues; flatheads hitting live bream
January 28, 2013 at 12:00 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
Magnum-size blue catfish are available all winter in the upper Neuse River, its tributaries and the Trent River.
It doesnt matter if air or water temperatures are hot, pleasant or cold, catfish will bite. And one of the best places to try for a trophy blue cat or flathead catfish is the upper Neuse River and its tributaries.
Catfish will bite any time of the year, said Joe Ward of Fly Daddy Charters and Down East Guide Service. People can catch big ones, too. The upper Neuse has some monster catfish in it.
Ward, who also guides on the Neuse and Trent rivers for shad, striped bass, red drum, speckled trout and flounder, said big catfish will be in deep holes, except when the weather takes on a more spring-like outlook.
The best places to find big catfish during winter are deep holes, Ward said. But if we get a warm snap, sometimes theyll go to shallow water.
The Trent joins the Neuse from the southwest in New Bern, and upstream, the Neuse narrows greatly. Ward said both places are good for catfish.
Big catfish are caught in the rivers and some of the feeder streams, Ward said, even up to Kinston and Goldsboro (in the Neuse) and in the Trent. Mouths of feeder streams where theres deep water is a good bet.
Ward said the blue and flatheads catfish can weigh from 40-, 50- or 60-pounds.
Most of the time, guys use cut bait to catch blue catfish, he said. One of their favorite dead-bait lures is to remove the gills from shad for cut bait and soak them on the bottom using Carolina or Santee rigs. These cut-bait rigs also will catch some of the biggest striped bass in the rivers.
Fishermen use mostly live baits, especially live bream, to target flathead catfish, which generally prefer live bait, while blues like cut bait.
Some people use other baits, such as chicken livers or (artificial) stink baits, but cut baits, especially the shad, seem to get the biggest blue cats, Ward said.
