This week Out Da Box Radio is happy to bring you a special interview with Michigan based Mello Music Group Producer "Apollo Brown". We were fortunate to speak with Apollo a few weeks ago to discuss specifics about his music history and recent career success. He took the time to speak in-depth about how he got his start and who some of his influences were in music. We also got a chance to reflect on some of his recent successful projects, like the "Trophies LP" with O.C., The Guilty Simpson Project (Dice Game), and this year's collabo project with Ghostface and Ugly Heroes. Apollo also took a moment to give some insight into his studio set up and equipment range by noting his preference towards using more minimalist/vintage equipment which he feels is best suitable for his style and just as effective as any updated software or new piece of music equipment. Apollo also reflected on what it was like to produce an Alternate version of Ghostface Killah's "TRTD" Album A.K.A (The Brown Tape) stating that he had never heard of the original version and it felt like he was recording the music backwards, by having to produce around the pre-recorded vocals. In closing, Apollo brought us up to date on his latest collabo group project with emcee's Verbal Kent and Red Pill better known as "Ugly Heroes". It was a great pleasure to speak with such a talented and accomplished producer of our time. With so much great music already under his belt, I can only see further progress and success on this brother's journey. I certainly wish him the best as he continues to grow musically in the future. Definitely feel free to pick up some of his recent releases over a mellomusic when you get a chance. In the meantime be sure to check out our insightful radio interview with Apollo Brown himself.

If you're not able to catch all that Discovery has to offer during the week—most especially during Shark Week— or if you just don't have cable, Discovery still wants to share their wealth of information with you. For those inquisitive folks among you, Discovery is sharing all of the clips and tidbits of information that are most vital to you staying on top of the world's most interesting and entertaining news.
This week being Shark Week means that the playlist has been taken over in the same way the channel has; it's overrun with sharks. Right now you can catch up on clips including "Jaws Strikes Back: The Vicious Cookiecutter Shark" and "Shark Week: Removing Fish Hooks From Sharks".
And to lure you in, Discovery drops some pretty intense knowledge in the description: For example, "Cookiecutter sharks have the biggest jaws for their size of any shark and bite almost anything". Now we've got to learn what 'almost anything' means. The segment on removing fish hooks describes researchers "putting sharks to sleep" but here's a secret, they don't use any kind of injections to do it. All they have are their hands. Tell me that's not the most intriguing thing you've heard today.
Of course, the playlist also includes Discovery's regular programming, including "Naked and Afraid," the intriguing "Who Do You Think You Are?," "Mythbusters," "Deadliest Catch," "American Muscle," "Dual Survival," "Chrome Underground" and the ever-popular "Return to Amish."
The page also incorporates the Twitter account of Discovery Channel so you can keep up with the latest while still viewing your video. You can view facts about their #AnimaloftheDay, and follow up with some programming.

I was just wondering, is it efficient to have the entire Ubuntu file system on a Windows file.
Currently I am using the option to directly boot from Ubuntu, as opposed to running it as an application in Windows. Even so, I notice a slow boot and sluggish performance.
Just to add, I am running a Dual Core, 1 GB RAM machine. Could the performance be slow due to low configuration of the machine.

Eugene, Ore. - Three players scored four or more goals to lift the Stanford women's lacrosse team to a season opening win over Oregon in Eugene on Saturday afternoon, 19-6. The game was the inaugural varsity lacrosse contest for the Ducks, who begin their first season as a member of the MPSF this year. With the victory, Stanford improves to 1-0 overall, and 1-0 in MPSF play.
Oregon scored the first two goals of the game, with the program's first-ever goal being scored by freshman Jen May. After going two goals down, the Cardinal settled in and relied on their veteran players to build up an insurmountable advantage.
The Cardinal got a scoring outburst from sophomore Elizabeth Piselli, who tallied a career-high five goals in the contest. Senior midfielder Nina Pantano and junior attacker Sarah Bach added four goals apiece to the Stanford total, while junior attacker Megan Burker netted three scores. Freshman Daphne Patterson was impressive in her first collegiate game, scoring a pair of goals, while senior co-captain Kelsey Twist rounded out the Cardinal scoring with a goal.
Piselli and Burker assisted on two goals apiece, while Bach added an assist and freshman defender Bri Ned recorded her first career assist in the win.
Freshman goalkeeper Laura Shane got the start in the cage, making nine saves and surrendering just five goals. Junior Kate Horowitz replaced Shane in goal with just over nine minutes remaining in the contest, and collected two ground balls and one caused turnover.
"Oregon did a great job of kicking off their inaugural season, and the addition of their program is phenomenal for the collegiate game and the MPSF as a conference" stated head coach Michele Uhlfelder following the game. "There were a total of 32 freshmen out there on the field today (23 for Oregon and nine for Stanford), and they all played extremely well. We were able to go on a couple of three or four-goal runs during the game, and that's what enabled us to gain momentum and register the win."
The Cardinal continues MPSF conference play on the road next weekend, traveling to face Saint Mary's on Friday afternoon and UC Davis on Sunday.
Stanford - 19
Oregon - 6
Stanford Goals - Elizabeth Piselli 5, Sarah Bach 4, Nina Pantano 4, Megan Burker 3, Daphne Patterson 2, Kelsey Twist 1.
Stanford Assists - Megan Burker 2, Elizabeth Piselli, Sarah Bach 1, Bri Ned 1.
Stanford Saves - Laura Shane 9

College Hockey:Omaha Jumps on Manitoba 6-1 in Exhibition
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska-Omaha hopes the door on the stable has been blown off the hinges.
The Mavericks opened their 2000-2001 season with a 6-1 exhibition victory over Manitoba on Friday.
"It's good to be back here," Mavericks coach Mike Kemp said. "This was a good opportunity for us to get out and play somebody besides ourselves."
Omaha opened the scoring 9:07 into the game on the five-on-three power play. Defenseman Ed Cassin fired a bullet from the blue line that beat Bisons goaltender Tim Winters, who had finally been scored upon after a barrage of saves. Jason White and Billy Pugliese set up the goal that gave UNO a 1-0 lead.
A second goal for UNO came at even strength just 2:02 later. Maverick sophomore Joe Pereira did the brunt of the work by skating the puck around the net and feeding forward Shane Glover across the crease. Glover put the puck home for a 2-0 lead.
Before the first period was over, Manitoba got on the board as well. Deep in their own zone, the Maverick defense turned the puck over to Bison forward Mark Gaudet, who skated in and beat UNO goaltender Rodney McLeod up top.
Pereira took the blame for the mental lapse.
"I honestly believed I saw Shane Glover there for one second, when actually he was on the other side of the rink," he said. "At least I can laugh it off now."
Compared to the first period, the second period was fairly quiet. A couple penalties were dished out here and there, and midway through the period UNO switched goaltenders from McLeod to freshman Dan Ellis.
That second period proved to be the calm before the storm, as the Mavericks came out blazing in the third. A late second-period penalty on Manitoba's Mike Reimer gave UNO a power play going into the third. Omaha capitalized with its second power-play goal of the night for a 3-1 lead. Mavericks forward Alan Carr was left all alone in front of the net when two Bisons defenders swarmed Glover as he skated to the net.
In less than two minuets, that lead would be stretched to 5-1. The Mavericks got a redirection goal from Pereira 2:01 into the third, and David Brisson added to UNO's lead with a flutter shot that sailed over Winters' head.
"Eight minutes into that third period, we just stopped competing hard, and you just can't do that against a team like the Mavericks," Manitoba coach Mike Sirant said.
The game got choppy as the third period progressed. Winters took a shot in the shoulder, and later took UNO forward Dave Noel-Benier directly, sending Winters to the ice in pain on both occasions. Both Manitoba and UNO began racking up penalties in the late stages.
UNO did get one last golden opportunity on another five-on-three power play, in which the Mavericks got their sixth and final goal of the match. A heavily screened Winters could only watch as Maverick Greg Zanon wristed the puck by him.
One of the problems that the Mavericks had last season was their penalty killing. In the exhibition, however, UNO did not give up any power-play goals, and in fact had a few shorthanded chances, including one breakaway.
"Hopefully this is a pre-cursor of what is to come of our special teams," Kemp said.
The Mavericks' highly heralded rookie class showed itself well during the match. Goaltender Dan Ellis did not allow a goal in his half of a game of work. Rookie Andrew Wong began his UNO career with two assists.
"Our rookies played really well," Kemp said. "Wong made things happen like we knew he would, and Mike Gabinet did an admirable job. Jason Jaworski was outstanding and I was happy with Scott Turner's work as well."
For UNO, four players had two-point nights. The Mavericks outshot Manitoba 44-23. Manitoba is the only team that UNO has played all four seasons of its existence, with this being the biggest win.
The Mavericks will host the Maverick Stampede next weekend, with Niagara, Boston College and Notre Dame coming to Omaha.

Not too long ago we took a look at the BETA for Moblin. It was a very very interesting operating system and one that I could see working out well in a mobile internet device or even a smart phone.
Well, this is exactly what Intel was showing off today at IDF. The gang over at Endgaget managed to take a look at it, from a distance. Apparently Intel was not letting anyone touch this one.
If you are wondering what Moblin looks like, take a look at the picture from IDF below as well as our video that we recorded from our time with the BETA.

We cannot cause spiritual growth, a development that includes expanded meanings, and an exaltation of values. But we are able to embrace an ideal that reflects true values. As meditation teacher and author, Eknath Easvaran http://www.easwaran.org/eknath-easwaran.html, put it, "mold yourself in the image of the loftiest spiritual ideal (Conquest of Mind)."
"The human individual undergoes this growth; he does not do it.... The individual undergoes this growth as sunshine, air and earth undergo transformation into a scarlet poppy. Men can do more than the poppy. A man can seek out the conditions that are required for this growth and for its greater abundance." (Henry Nelson Wieman, Normative Psychology of Religion http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/1197046?uid=3739560&uid=2&uid=4&ui...).
Good decisions and wise behavior choices are those that encourage growth to take place. We can be about the tasks of organizing our souls for service to our communities, and mobilizing faith that our efforts are supported by spirit helpers.
"The seed of God is in us. Given an intelligent and hard-working farmer, it will thrive and grow up to God, whose seed it is; and accordingly its fruits will be God-nature. Pear seeds grow into pear trees, nut seeds into nut trees, and God-seed into God." (Meister Eckhart, http://www.iep.utm.edu/eckhart/)
We can lay out plans for growth like we plot garden rows;
with practice, becoming expert, we recognize the frailty
of certain plants, how basil is subject to killing frost,
if you're impatient and put it in early,
cyclamen who seem to love winter, can wilt
in a freezing cold. Or late spring lettuce
scorched by blasts of sun, is withered by a
dessicating Diablo wind off the hills.
We rake compost, dig fertilizer into the soil.
The job hurts our muscles; backs feel the strain.
We can stop to decide where each vegetable
and flower will have its most agreeable place,
by analyzing the hours of sunlight,
whether soil is acid or alkaline.
While you rest from the back pain, draw up a schedule
for activities of nurturing, watering, weed digging.
We won't get to the point of reward
with ripe tomatoes, beans, and cucumbers otherwise.
Because this ground is dense with weeds,
we have to work at it many days, uprooting and hoeing,
Every day I water in the hot season, pinch off dead leaves
and prune branches, just like we try to remember to do
when striving to enhance our own reach for maturity using techniques
of meditation, prayer for the Spirit's guidance as to the best way.
After weeks of preparation, harvest time arrives.
I ask for help to sharpen it, to feel the keenness of the blade
that harvests these many blessings.
Then the day when the fresh fruits of our labors go in the salad,
everyone in the house savoring homegrown flavors
makes oohs and ahs of pleasure.
Remember how the Psalmist sang to us:
"Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!" (Psalm 105)
What better way to understand such continual striving than by making a garden. But how do we know we've grown in spiritual matters? One thing that may block our understanding is the engrained cultural habit of looking for a measuring stick by which to gauge progress. In our vegetable gardens, it is possible to count how many tomatoes a plant produces, but not so with the unconscious accomplishments of spiritual growth.
When I was laid off from my employment in downtown San Francisco, a recession was on. The only solid opportunity that came my way was a job as a security guard at a science museum. I took it gladly so I could keep us in the apartment with food on the table. On the surface the museum guard job represented a regression in status, an unproductive phase in my life, but surprisingly it became an opportunity to set in motion greater achievements that came later, proof perhaps of this idea that spiritual growth happens unconsciously.
I'd begun a quirky practice I hid from the other security guards. I'd spend the quiet uneventful hours guarding the museum studying and reciting spiritual and motivational quotes as I made the rounds. The results came later in many good changes that flowed from my deeper intimacy with wise teachings. Not long afterwards, I went on to earn B.A. and Master's Degrees in writing. While still in school, we had a child and my wife and I joyfully undertook the work of raising a wonderful daughter. I began a new career with a well-known California bank. Though the growth took place unconsciously, the results followed from the conscious creation of a partnership of mind with the spirit, consciously done for the first time, a partnership that bore fruit. When actions are "recollected in tranquility" far from the fields on which action took place, it is in retrospect that we may see the measurable results in our growth.

Bootstrap: Most Powerful Front-end Framework for Faster & Easier Web Development
Bootstrap is Simple and flexible HTML, CSS, and Javascript for popular user interface components and interactions. Previously, it was much more descriptive to the framework's contents, and thus quite long and wordy. We wanted to convey the technical details properly heading into 2.0.0 (when we changed the tagline), but without the bulk. Instead, we focus on the roles Bootstrap can assist folks with: HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Any other description is fine, but I wanted to share some insight into the official tagline just for context.

Watching a rocket ship fly through the sky can bring excitement. Whether made to travel through space or rise into the sky at full speed after an experiment, rockets intrigue even the littlest eyes. Make a rocket ship for kids using toilet paper rolls. Select rolls that are dent-free and sturdy enough to handle during playtime. Make the rocket bright with color using construction paper. Then allow the child's imagination to soar as he flies the homemade rocket through the sky.
Step 1
Lay both toilet paper rolls horizontally on a table, and set the rolls end to end. Tape the toilet paper rolls together with a 6-inch strip of masking tape. The result is a toilet paper roll tube measuring 8 inches in length.
Step 2
Trim one sheet of construction paper to 8 inches by 6 inches with scissors. Wrap the sheet of construction paper around the roll, and secure the construction paper with two strips of 4-inch tape.
Step 3
Cut out two 4-inch equilateral triangles on a separate sheet of construction paper with scissors. Snip a 2-inch slit at the bottom center of the first triangle, and a 2-inch slit at the top center of the second triangle. Then, cut four 2-inch slits at the bottom of the roll, ¾ inch apart from each other with the scissors.
Step 4
Insert the first triangle into the bottom of the roll, while sliding the left and right sides of the triangle into the first two opposing slits.
Step 5
Slide the second triangle into the bottom of the roll by inserting the top slit of the second triangle through the bottom slit of the first triangle. The left and right sides of the second triangle should also slide into the remaining two slits at the bottom of the roll, completing the base.
Step 6
Draw a 4-inch circle on a sheet of construction paper, and cut the circle out with scissors. Make a 2-inch slit into the circle with the scissors, and wrap the right side of the circle over the left side to form a cone. Secure the cone with tape.
Step 7
Tape the cone to the top of the rocket with 1 ½-inch strips of clear tape. Write the name of the child on the side of the rocket with colored markers on completion.

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club K'NEX Robo-Creatures Robo-Strike, Robo-Smash and Robo-Sting Building Bundle:
My granddaughters (ages 8 and 11) worked together to assemble the Robo-Strike and did not stop until it was done. They can't wait to get to the other two Robos. The only complaint they had was that the head could not be attached well enough to stay on when the Robo was in action.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So much fun!
By kat59

This was much more than we were expecting. The directions were clear and precise and the finished product was all that we were hoping and more. I would recommend this to anybody wanting a building adventure. It occupies your time with creativity and so much more!

Ordering was easy and confirmation was done promptly. Currently I can add no more feed-back as it was ordered as a Christmas gift and delivered to a different address and I will not know how well it is received and/or how it works.

Every Robot kit had parts missing...
By JKaL
from Los Angeles, CA, United States
Great toy and great quality, but every kit had parts missing. Also the other items in my order had parts missing. So much for being able to build the ultimate robot creature...we can't even build all three robots as we have to borrow key parts from other kits just to build one! Bummer. Not worth the risk as the return policy requires you to pay your own return shipping. Odds of parts being missing seems high since I had a big order and everything in it had key parts missing.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I finished the rainbow baby quilt. It's pretty similar to the last one I made except that the rainbows all run the in the same direction. I had intended on the same layout as before but I had a couple of directional prints which would have looked a bit funny upside down. The fabric is a mix of recycled (the chevron is an op-shopped pillowcase) and new and it is quilted in unequal straight lines - I just eyeballed distances so the lines are not completely straight but I actually like how this looks. Plus, there is no taping and measuring involved.
There was just enough elephant fabric left to do the binding. I like the way they march round the outside. It's all done my machine this time (for speed) The back is plain - this had to be a quick project so that I can give it to her today!
And there is a rainbow of colour in the garden too..

I have wanted to make math videos, but was never sure how to go about it. (Please redirect to the correct forum if this is wrong). I noticed how the khan academy videos are made on a computer, I would like to do the same thing with a software like LyX. But how would I capture the screen, and the voice at the same time?
I am on a Linux Machine but if there are solutions in Windows, please post them, others may be interested.
Edit: there has been a comment about this not being the right forum any suggestions? Also, I have come across other solutions on the internet, recordmydesktop came up. Has anyone tried it?

Carb Nite - Day One - Here We Go!
Wednesday, May 01, 2013
((**Fair warning. I'll be relegating my diary posts about my journey to power-lift here and they will be somewhat nonsensical. Filled with spelling errors and grammar awfulness. I document this on my phone and copypasta it over here. It's helping me keep track of how I do. Thank you! If you have any questions of what I�m doing check out
or hit me up on the comments**))
7:00am-ish � Woke up, took day one picture, made a cup of coffee. added coconut oil and a tablespoon of whole milk. Must buy heavy cream and yogurt for later. The following pic taken in the morning before I started anything. About 190lbs scale-weight:
8:20am � Not hungry yet. Even after I finished my coffee. Plan to eat at noon.
12:00pm � I started to feel hunger pangs. But I am in the field doing research and am unable to address the hunger pangs at the moment. The job must get done first then I can eat.
12:20pm � The pangs stop after 20 minutes.
12:35pm � Had cheese and pepperoni from Wawa. threw out the crackers. Minus the cracker its between 1-3g carb total. I�m not used to the oily taste. Its something I must navigate. I feel thirsty even after about 23fl oz of water. I also plan to purchase the book today but I wanted to start early. I�m glad I had coconut oil this morning. Who knew it would come in handy?
4:00pm � I had a cookies and cream 14floz muscle milk. 9g of carbs. I also had 16.9fl oz of water. today�s high pollen count has made me feel tired and unable to breath mostly. I�ve been sneezing all day.
5:45pm-ish - Lifted 5 to fail during P90X Shoulders and Arms. 20lbs barbells. Did the equivalent of half the workout. Until I failed. Never felt so alive.
7:30pm-ish � Dropped off YogaX DVD at Jon's, he fed me turkey, mushroom gravy, and asparagus. Heard his nephew play the piano and gave him a copy of CarbNite since he is interested in what I�m doing. After I left his house I visited my nephew's house. Hung out. Then headed back home.
9:45pm-ish � Picked up some essentials at the store and snacked on one slice of deli turkey cuz I was hungry.
10:30pm-ish � I still feel great. First night in the can! Now it's the end of my first day. I still feel great. I feel like I can become a superwoman.

How do you wake up? Is it abrupt or is it gradual? Maybe you use an alarm clock or perhaps your body intuitively wakes you. How do you feel in the morning? Do you start your day feeling well rested or tired? Do you open your eyes anxious or do you feel inspired?
Whether you've thought about how you start your day or if it is spontaneous, your ritual sets the stage for the upcoming hours. If you're upset as you push back the covers, this negative energy will fuel as you move through your routine. This type of living promises reaction without thought and steals any prospects you may have been gifted. If you awake feeling rested and inspired, ready to embrace a clean slate of opportunity, this positive perspective will manifest into a day filled with silver linings. Why? Because you're not focusing on everything going wrong, instead, you are flexing to the situation and taking the time to breathe and strategize your response. Your best self is stepping forward.
When you were thinking about a resolution this past New Year, did your morning ritual come to mind? If you step out of bed grounded, you'll maintain this balance as you move through your awakened hours. Doesn't this sound great?
Here are a few healthy tips to help you embrace a good start each morning:
• When you first open your eyes, give yourself a few minutes to surface any dreams. Think about these symbols and, if possible, jot them down to gain from these subconscious messages; it can help you with any struggle you've encountered.
• Stretch. Whether you step into a full-blown yoga routine or just spend a few minutes warming your body up and getting the blood flowing, it will help you remain flexible, mind, body and spirit.
• Shine.yahoo.com adds, "…it's time to make water a top priority each morning." The article goes on to say how water hydrates, detoxes, and aides in weight loss and prevents illness.
• Make your bed each morning. If you start your day feeling neat and organized, this can carry forward into your other tasks.
• Devote a few minutes to a higher power. Energizing your faith through prayer, meditation or even reading a few spiritual verses sets the stage in positive mode.
• As you shower, visualize white light cleansing you physically and mentally as the warm water flows down your body. This will help release any blocked toxins.
• Take the time to grab a bit to eat (even if it's on the run). Breakfast is the most important meal. Protein from eggs, vitamins from fruit, and other healthy foods will manifest the energy you need for your day's endeavors.
Think about what's important to you. Each of these suggestions will help you gain a foundation that promotes good intention and purpose for you to live, as Oprah would say, "Your best life."

Every successful social event involves great food, companionship, and a focal activity. Ethnic connoisseurs will find great ways to enjoy social activity while dining on some fabulous culinary delights. The month of February is full of social events, such as the Super Bowl, 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, and Valentine's Day. If the ethnic diner is searching for ethnic cuisine and a nice place to watch the Super Bowl or the Winter Olympic Games, Tides Oyster Bar may be a great option to do either.
The restaurant is located in the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa in Henderson, NV. Tides Oyster Bar is equipped with many flat screen televisions that may feature the Super Bowl on February 7, 2010 and the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games on February 12, 2010.
The ethnic cuisine is wonderful. Most of the cuisine is New Orleans style Creole or Cajun. Creole and Cajun cuisine have influences from the French, Spanish, Caribbean, Canarian, Mediterranean, Deep Southern American, Indian, and African influences. Though this style of cuisine migrated into the home of the Aristocratic French, it was once the cuisine that the French peasants enjoyed.
Peppers, citrus juices, rice, and beans are all characteristic of a typical Creole or Cajun dish. Tomato sauces were integrated into the dishes by Italian immigrants. Seafood, including oysters, shrimp, crab, crawfish, and trout are commonly present in Creole or Cajun dishes. Chicken, sausage, and turtle are also common.
At Tides Oyster Bar, the ethnic diner can enjoy the plethora of oysters on the bar, seafood gumbo, and Po'Boys, while watching the Super Bowl or the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
Valentine's Day – February 14, 2010
Oysters are a natural aphrodisiac. To promote romantic feelings between the couple, Tides Oyster Bar may also be an option for Valentine's Day. The restaurant has a modern décor with a relaxing atmosphere. The bar may be a great place for Valentine's date with good friend or someone you have been dating for a while. Most diners have enjoyed the ethnic cuisine, the service and the atmosphere.
Haitian Relief Fund
The Haitian culture has similar ethnic influences to the Creole culture of Louisiana. While dining, enjoying the festivities and the quality cuisine, take a moment to remember the Haitian tragedy. If you have not had a chance to donate, one of the charities below is still accepting donations. $61 million has been donated, yet more is needed.

Calcium helps blood vessels tighten and relax when they need to. Magnesium does that, too, and is also needed for energy production and moving calcium and potassium around the body. Potassium lowers blood pressure and protects against muscle cramping and an irregular heartbeat.
How much of these nutrients do adults need? Here are the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for all three:
These minerals are found in many common foods. Good sources of calcium include milk and dairy foods, fish with bones (such as canned salmon and sardines), and dark, leafy greens. Magnesium is plentiful in dark, leafy green vegetables, unrefined grains, and legumes. Good sources of potassium include sweet potatoes, prunes, apricots, and lima beans.
"People eating a healthy diet probably have nothing to worry about. But people eating a diet of processed and canned foods might need to be concerned" that they aren't getting enough of these key minerals, says Dr. Randall Zusman, director of the Division of Hypertension at the Massachusetts General Hospital Heart Center.

For high school football fans, the 23rd annual BB&T Football Jamboree on Friday at Legion Stadium in Wilmington means the start of the football season.
This scrimmage is a fundraiser for 10 southeastern North Carolina high schools and student scholarships.
The jamboree begins at 5 p.m. with a cheerleading showcase that includes squads from West Brunswick and South Brunswick high schools.
The Leland Dixie Youth Majors baseball team has won its first two games in the Dixie Youth Baseball Majors World Series in Laurel, Miss.
Leland's team of 12-year-olds opened the series by routing Florida (San Antonio Pasco) 11-1 Saturday night.
Leland, representing North Carolina in the 11-state tournament, scored four runs in the first inning, all with two outs, manager Bobby Scoggins said. Blaine Hollis hit a three-run home run.
"Pretty much everybody else contributed," Scoggins said. "We had a good night hitting."
Holden Beach Police investigated the following incidents from Aug. 5-10, which are taken directly from police incident reports:
•Larceny on Carolina Avenue.
•Larceny on Sailfish Street.
•Damage to real property on Ocean Boulevard West.
•Burglary on Seaview Drive.
Agents with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Drug Enforcement Unit made the following arrests last week. The suspects and their charges, which are taken directly from arrest reports and citations, are:
•Jeremiah John McNeil, 26, of 380 Calabash Road, Calabash; charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver a schedule VI controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The Continuing Education and Workforce Development Department (CEWD) at Brunswick Community College offers short-term programs and classes for self-improvement, cultural enrichment and academic achievement geared toward adults seeking skills for employment, intellectual stimulation, community involvement and social interaction, according to Onya Galloway, administrative assistant.
Many small business courses are free due to funding from a Small Business Center grant. Seniors, 65 and older, can also take many classes free of charge.
It was flavor that drew me to corn. When they are fresh, pulled right from the fields, they are crisp and flavorful.
Even though it's available year round, I love corn in late summer when it is at its peak. Like tomatoes, corn is best when grown locally. Check out our local farm markets and farmers markets. Usually, the corn sold there has been picked that morning, unlike corn sold in the local super markets. Corn loses it freshness quickly.
Corn Trivia
Corn is grown on every continent except Antarctica.
The First Tee of Brunswick County received its charter in 2005 and began programs in February 2006. Since then, the local chapter has grown and flourished through community support, donors, parents and guardians, and enthusiastic kids.
Each year, more than 400 children are reached through after-school and Saturday programs and summer camps. Another 6,500 Brunswick County students receive the National Schools Program of The First Tee through their physical education classes.
A politically astute friend of mine from high school is now my Facebook friend and often posts links to articles about what's going on in Congress.
He's an Independent who leans to the left on a few issues, but he posts news and commentary from all sides of the arguments and is always asking for input from everyone on topics ranging from healthcare reform to Supreme Court confirmations. He likes debate.
Despite being named regional superintendent of the year, Brunswick County Schools Superintendent Katie McGee was given "mostly unsatisfactory" marks on her evaluation, completed by the Brunswick County Board of Education Tuesday night.
"The ranges were unsatisfactory to a little above average on a few things," McGee said Tuesday night. "I'm really distraught. It's the best school year we've ever had in all directions."
A Calabash man is among 11 indicted Wednesday for unlawfully operating a sports-betting enterprise in Queens County, N.Y.
According to the district attorney's office out of Queens County, investigators executed search warrants Wednesday morning and recovered $210,100 from a safe at the home of William E. Jennings, 55, 1380 N. Middleton Drive, Calabash. The safe was found in a box of Christmas decorations.
He is listed in a press release from the DA's office as an "agent" in the operation.

Mickey Rourke
Schenectady, New York
"It's like when I buy a horse; I don't want a thick neck and short legs."
- Mickey Rourke, on his ideal physical woman.
Given the pure muscle mass of Mickey Rourke, it's not surprising that he started out as a boxer. But with his decision to leave the ring behind, Hollywood has since thanked him with a Golden Globe Award for his role as Randy "The Ram" Robinson in The Wrestler (2008) and an Oscar nomination for the same film. The actor is best known for his roles in films like The Wrestler, Sin City and 9 1/2 Weeks.
Mickey Rourke isn't afraid to get nasty on the big screen, but his personal excesses have damaged his once-handsome face. Boxing matches and whispers of bad plastic surgery have taken their toll, but in some ways, Mickey Rourke's now-aged appearance and candid attitude make him more appealing to women who are bored with the same old Hollywood assembly-line hunks.
After disappearing into the boxing world and direct-to-DVD sludge for much of the '90s, Mickey Rourke resurfaced and now he's enjoying the last laugh. The same people who dismissed him offered their support for his gritty performance in Sin City. With 2008's The Wrestler, Mickey Rourke has regained their trust and loyalty -- at least for the time being. Whether he maintains it this time remains to be seen. Part of Mickey Rourke's appeal is that he beats to his own drum, and his future endeavors will ultimately come from his own choices.
Mickey Rourke BiographyPhilip Andre "Mickey" Rourke Jr. was born on September 16, 1956, in Schenectady, New York. Born to his bodybuilder father Philip and his mother Ann, Mickey Rourke had a difficult and abusive childhood that only mildly improved when his parents separated when he was 6, and he subsequently moved to Miami. Living with his mom and younger brother in a tough neighborhood, Mickey Rourke took up boxing at 12 years old and trained at 5th Street Gym, which had formerly housed Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali.
Boxing became Mickey Rourke's favorite pastime as a teen, but he quit in high school in the wake of receiving two concussions while fighting. Acting came about after he appeared in a theater production called Deathwatch, and Mickey Rourke moved to New York and eventually studied at the renowned Actors Studio. He sold pretzels to pay the bills and worked on a few Off-Off-Broadway shows to further his career. However, it wasn't until a move to Los Angeles that he would first break into films.
mickey rourke appears in body heat and 9 1/2 weeksA move to Los Angeles brought Mickey Rourke closer to the film industry, and he had early roles in two notable flops: Steven Spielberg's 1941 in 1979, and the over-budgeted 1980 mega-bomb Heaven's Gate. Mickey Rourke would fare much better in 1981's Body Heat, nearly stealing the movie with a confident turn as an arsonist singing along to Bob Seger. A role in 1982's ensemble piece Diner followed, and Mickey Rourke, along with his costars Kevin Bacon, Steve Guttenberg and Paul Reiser, were well on their way to stardom.
Although he won critical praise for films like The Pope of Greenwich Village, Angel Heart and Rumble Fish, Mickey Rourke would be best known in the '80s for two films: 9 1/2 Weeks and Barfly. The first cast him as a stockbroker sex fiend who has a torrid affair with Kim Basinger, while the second had him playing a feisty alcoholic writer in the vein of Charles Bukowski. It was edgy and eccentric roles like these that won Mickey Rourke over with critics and audiences alike.
mickey rourke stars in sin city and the wrestlerThe '90s marked a downward spiral for Mickey Rourke. His personal life was scarred by a troubled marriage to actress/model Carre Otis, and in his professional career he fell out of favor with directors and audiences. It didn't help that he churned out critical punching bags like Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man and a portfolio of mostly straight-to-DVD films. The on- and off-screen problems sent Mickey Rourke into professional boxing for a sizable chunk of the '90s. Although he was successful in the ring, he began suffering brain damage and was forced to retire.
Looking to mend his ways, Mickey Rourke tried to reenter acting. In 2001, he had a showy cameo opposite Jack Nicholson in The Pledge for director Sean Penn, and in 2003, he played a heavy hitter in Robert Rodriguez's Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Mickey Rourke's work for Rodriguez proved useful when the director cast him to play the disfigured anti-hero, Marv, in 2005's Sin City and he'll reclaim is role as Merv in 2010's Sin City 2.
We all know that Sin City was a genuine success, but Mickey Rourke's comeback wouldn't be sealed until 2008, when he played the destitute title character in The Wrestler. An Oscar nomination followed, breathing new life and appreciation into a career that many people had all but written off.
In February 2009, Mickey Rourke's beloved Chihuahua, Loki, passed away at 17 years old. Loki was never far from Rourke's side and after the pooch's passing he was quoted saying: "Loki is deeply missed, but with me in spirit. I feel very blessed that she fell asleep peacefully in my arms."

The declaration of brain death requires a standardized clinical neurologic examination and, importantly, the resolution of the underlying cause. Because sedative and anesthetic agents can closely mimic brain death, intoxications must be ruled out. Aspects of brain stem function, particularly the pupillary responses to light, remain intact in most cases of poisonings. Intoxications that cause a condition that fully mimics brain death have only been described in cases of intoxications with tricyclic antidepressants and barbiturates so far. We report the case of a 19-year-old man who presented with severe confusion and developed a deep coma over the next hours. Clinical examination revealed absence of all brain stem reflexes including missing pupillary responses to light. Blood analysis revealed a valproic acid intoxication with levels of 12,430 micromol/L (normal, 350-700 micromol/L) with concomitant severe hyperammonemia of 500 micromol/L (normal, <30 micromol/L), and treatment was initiated including the administration of L-carnitine and a continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration. Brain edema as the cause of absent brain stem reflexes was ruled out twice by computed tomography. After normalization of the serum levels, the patient had a full clinical recovery.

One of the smallest tyrannosaurids ever found and a new species of North American tyrannosaurid was reported by Anthony Fiorillo and Ronald S. Tykoski from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas, Texas in the March 12, 2014, edition of the journal Public Library of Science.
The jaw, maxilla, and partial skull were found in Prince Creek Formation in Alaska. The new species named Nanuqsaurus hoglundi provided sufficient evidence for the paleontologists to conclude that the animal was a relative of both Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, the only known species of tyrannosaurid.
Nanuqsaurus hoglundi was much smaller than it's relative. The dinosaur was about 40 percent of the size of Tyrannosaurus rex based on comparative skull measurements. The fossils are 70 million years old.
The high-altitude and northern climate may be responsible for the difference in size according to the scientists. The location at the northernmost edge of Cretaceous North America may also play a factor in the size of this new species. The isolation of this species of tyrannosaurid by mountains in every direction may have played a part in the animal's relative small size.
Nanuqsaurus hoglundi is still quite large for an animal and is assumed to have been the top predator in the area during the time that it lived.

Can you guess which reality TV star couple is back together again? If you guessed Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian, you are correct. It seems that the celebrity couple has patched things up. They were seen together at a street fair in the Hamptons. According to TMZ, the couple along with their son Mason, had fun riding most of the rides at the street fair in the Hamptons.
Kourtney and her sister Khloe are renting a house in the Hamptons while they film "Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons." Kourtney allegedly kicked Scott out of the house. On June 9, 2014, while in the driveway of their rental home, Kourtney and Scott got into a heated argument.
A source for Us Weekly reports. "Kourtney was yelling at Scott after she found an inappropriate picture of him with another girl. You need to be a more responsible father and get better. There is another baby on the way! You need to straighten up or get out!"
Scott chose to leave. The source said that he spent the night in the Southampton Inn.
In the span of seven days, Scott left Kourtney three times. Instead of wanting to stay home with Kourtney and their kids, Scott wanted to party.
Scott wasn't allowed to attend the "Kidchella" birthday party for North West, the daughter of Kim and Kanye West, even though the party was held in the backyard of his home in Calabasas, California. Kourtney left him home to teach him a lesson. However, her plan backfired, because Scott had other things planned for his time. TMZ reports that Scott celebrated his own belated birthday. He was seen spraying champagne on his friends at 1Oak.
Kourtney and Scott didn't have these problems until Scott lost both his parents. His mother, Bonnie, passed away in October 2013. It wasn't long after that his father, Jeffrey, died in January 2014. As he tried to cope with his loss, he started partying hard. He left Kourtney and the kids home while he went to party with his friends.
Kourtney and Scott have two kids, Mason, age 4 and 23-month old Penelope. Kourtney is several months pregnant with their third child.
How long to you think they will stay together this time?

Nick O'Malley of the Massachusetts Daily Collegian has a nice story on former field hockey coach Justine Sowry. The column focuses on how Sowry, now the head coach at Louisville, took the UMass program to the next level in her four years at the helm of the program.
Sowry was replaced on Jan. 7 when UMass announced the hiring of Northwestern Associate Head Coach and former US National Team member Carla Tagliente as field hockey head coach.

As much as Forever Evil is devoted to highlighting the many compelling villains that inhabit the DC Universe, it's also worked as a pretty nifty method for introducing or reintroducing various DC heroes as well. It's a real blessing to have Geoff Johns at the helm of DC's first crossover event of the New 52 for a variety of reasons, but not the least of which is his respect for the past. With the first full arrival of the Metal Men in this issue, we come to see what's so delightful about their Silver Age origin, even if their circumstances are slightly modernized for today's narrative. In Justice League #28, we see the full debut of the New 52 Metal Men.
Their story was a bit familiar with science fiction tropes we've seen, but it's a well-structured back history with emotion, especially with how they interact with Dr. Magus. There's really nothing grounded or realistic about the concept of a scientist building devices that bring metal to life and give it personality traits based on its atomic properties. So there's really nothing that has fundamentally changed about these characters.
More endearing than the individual personalities of the Metal Men is the shift in Doctor Magnus from his previous, weirdly paternal nature, to a younger, more caring genius who set out to do good in the world. To know they are loved and honored in a way that never felt so personal in the past makes for a more sympathetic lead, and one who could actually hold his own amid such crazy robots. Johns effectively showcases Magnus' emotional detachment and motivations. And though there's only room for a handful of scenes with each Metal Man, readers quickly get a sense for each hero's personality, abilities, and place in the larger group dynamic.
Ivan Reis remains on board the series, though only as a layout artist this month. Frequent Reis collaborator Joe Prado and stalwart inker Scott Hanna both contribute finishes to those layouts. Because Prado and Reis work together so well, it's often difficult to tell the difference between this and a true Reis-penciled issue. The big splash page is as bold and detailed as anything Reis has delivered during this Forever Evil storyline. And though Hanna's scenes stand out a little more, he's still able to adjust his normally thin, precise inking to better match the lush texture of Prado. In either case, there's not the dip in quality one would usually expect from this artistic arrangement.
This issue didn't do much to advance the overall Forever Evil conflict, but the strong character work more than makes up for that. Because so much of it occurs as a flashback, there's very little progression in terms of Cyborg's journey or the series' ties to Forever Evil.
Justice League #28 is a great issue, giving us a new origin for the Metal Men. The writing is fantastic, the characters are enjoyable, and the artwork is a treat as always. Even if you are not following Forever Evil, this may be a fun issue to get regardless if you're a fan of these characters and want to see what they're up to.

First Half Run Sets Up 18-9 Women's Lax Win Over New Hampshire
Feb. 23, 2013
DURHAM, N.H. - A four-goal run to close the first half provided momentum in the second stanza as the No. 14 UMass women's lacrosse team defeated New Hampshire 18-9 on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Field. After leading 8-4 at halftime, the Minutewomen scored six of the first eight goals to start the second half en route to the win.
Nine different UMass (3-1) players scored goals led by Sam Rush who had four. Tewaaraton candidate Katie Ferris had a game-high six points on three goals and three assists. Melissa Carelli and Cori Murray each had three goals, while goalie Rachel Vallarelli made six saves in just under 54 minutes of work.
New Hampshire (0-2) was led by Laura McHoul who scored three goals and Jenny Simpson who had two goals and one assist. Kathleen O'Keefe made five saves in the loss.
The first half was fairly even until the Minutewomen's late run to close the stanza. After UMass went up 4-1 at the 17:19 mark, New Hampshire scored three straight over the next 11 minutes to tie the game 4-4 on a Hannah Wohltmann free position goal.
Goals by Courtney McGrath, Murray and two from Ferris stretched UMass' lead to 8-4 over the final five minutes of the half.
The Wildcats scored first to start the second half thanks to McHoul's second goal of the game, but the Minutewomen scored six of the next seven to go up 14-6 with 19:14 to go.
After a Molly Gaffey goal ended UMass' second flurry of goals, the Minutewomen tacked on four more over a seven minute stretch extending the lead to 18-7 on a Tanner Guarino free position goal with 9:10 left.
New Hampshire scored the final two goals of the game to give the final 18-9 score.
The Minutewomen held a 30-to-22 advantage in shots and a 16-to-10 edge in draw controls. Both teams finished with 15 groundballs.
UMass will return to action on Wednesday for a 3 PM opening draw at Boston University.

Trust me, his intent was not nice. Pica doesn't like little chicks, he was trying to attack Pippin. I hope there won't be a problem when other pairs share the colony cage later... <__<"
Just keep a close eye when you introduce others. He'll be aggressive at first, anyway, since he seems territorial. Remove any birds that he injures. And if it gets to be a problem, you may have to move both he and his mate to a new, individual cage that's just for them. It means they take up a little more space, but if he's going to be a problem with others, it's better for all of them.

George Tahdooahnippah took a step up in class, meeting up with Friday Night Fights perennial Delvin Rodriguez at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.
OK, two steps up in class...He showed himself to have a marvelous chin and heart, but at 2:41 of the sixth, Rodriguez stopped Tahdooahnippah, with the ref interceding as he ate clean blows galore.
"Comanche Boy" had a 31-0-1 record coming in, while the CT resident Rodriguez was 26-6-3.
Delvin last fought in June 2012, and had a hard time with Austin Trout, which is that much more understandable considering what Trout did to Miguel Cotto in December.
In the first, the 32-year-old popped his jab. His 34 year-old foe, who has fought all but one of his bouts in Oklahoma, looked to land a power shot. Both got cooking early in the sub-middleweight (157 or under) scrap. George ate several clean shots, to the head and body, and didn't look as relaxed as Del. Del fought backing up, but took the lead more when George grew hesitant.
Del whaled away and had George out, but the ref didn't stop it, to end the second. Eddie Cotton waved it off, then admitted he misheard the Comanche Boy corner, and the third round commenced. George hasn't had to work out of trouble and wasn't very successful at it; he neglected to hold, clutch, run, whatever it took to buy time. But Del didn't press as much in the third, and George, incredibly, made it to round four.
In the fourth, the right hand that worked so well in the second worked again. Blood flowed from George's nose, as his corner yelled, "Let your hands go!" George made it through the fifth as well, and the sixth, almost. Del stepped on it, demanded an ending, and the ref stepped in as George was taking blow after blow.
Anybody with more than 13 alphabets in his last name usually turn out to be a wuzz.. It is the culture of boxers to shorten long-@ss last names. A long-name is usually a marshmallow with an inflated record of fighting stiffs, busdrivers, drunken sailors, bellboys and lumberjack. Holla!
Jeez I knew that kid had no skills but that was hard to watch. Hype job gimmicks can get a guy killed.
i agree deepwater, i respect him for getting into that ring to begin with but my gosh 33 fights and dude looked like he had never seen a right hand before....
he lacked everything from fundamentals to athletic ability, coordination and skill.
but he did have heart and took some thunderous shots, too many of them.
but man, move away from that right hand, get your left up, lean back, move your feet, pivot out, something....
And the right hand for a conventional pugilist is the easily to get away from. The-long-name pugilist was short on the above that Amayseng so nicely indicated. And as Deepwater will take a know nothing in deep waters and drown him, Deepwater was straight-up righteous: "Hyped-job gimmicks can get a guy KILLED" -- LITERALLY!
A MISMATCH like that, shows just how full of optical illusions that this seedy sport can roll. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

text: OK, so I know most of you are worried about the SATs and that stuff. But I know that there are a few grad students around here and I need your advice. I am going to apply for grad school for my masters in instructional tech. In order to get a license to teach (at least here in Ohio) I need to take the GREs. I know this test is intense, but how hard is it? Was there a study guide/book that worked really well for you? Any serious advice would be great. Thanks

An early morning bomb threat at the Cochise College campus caused no delay in any of the team's football functions, though it did close access to the school for nearly four hours from 6 to 10 a.m. The Wildcats had planned no action until walk-through drills at 11 a.m.
More classroom and no-equipment schematic sessions with the full squad took up much of the day until the 4 p.m. practice, which moved indoors after 40 minutes of work in the rain because of nearby lightning strikes. After a hour, the limited squad -- newcomers, redshirt freshmen and reserve squad members -- moved back outside to complete the practice.
"We accomplished a lot today. The whole idea was to give the veterans a day off, and give the (younger) players a bunch of concentrated work," Tomey said, adding that NCAA rules essentially afford an extra day of half-pads workouts that he felt were best missed by the top one or two units on both offense and defense.
"The day off, and what it means in extra work for (new) guys, will pay off sometime down the road, whether it's tomorrow, next month or three months from now," Tomey said.
The schedule gave No. 3 quarterback Jason Johnson, a redshirt freshman, and incoming freshmen quarterbacks Cliff Watkins and Kyle Slager considerable action. "Jason's way ahead. It's not a horse race. But that's expected -- and should be. He's really smart and has a year in the program," Tomey said.
The team will don full gear for the first time in Wednesday morning's 8:30 a.m. practice. "It's not a whole lot different than half-pads (shoulder pads only). But you'll see some guys being more reckless when they get in full pads," he said.
"We don't do a lot of hitting, though. You're rolling the dice when you do that," Tomey said. "We have to be smart about what we do because when we return to Tucson we're about a week out from our opener."
Notes: Tomey visited a nearby state prison at mid-day Tuesday to address a sizeable group of inmates who were awarded General Equivalency Degrees. "I don't think I can tell you exactly how I feel about it yet. It's such a life-changing experience. It's the kind of thing you need to think about (before you can put it in words). I got a lot more out of it than they did," he said... Senior wide receiver Brad Brennan, the team's leader in yards per catch the last two years (17.0 and 20.9), moved around camp on crutches part of Tuesday, nursing a right hamstring injury ... A number of players who spent Monday and Tuesday in Tucson to complete the second session of summer school were expected to return to camp for Wednesday's drills ... The seasonal thunderstorms which have hit camp several times since it began Saturday have had little effect on the practice field, which is on higher ground on the Cochise College campus. It's a soccer field -- the school does not sponsor football.

The Vampire Diaries might be about vampires, witches and werewolves but fans are little less concerned about doppelganger and the Travelers, and more about when there favorite ship will happen. So who's the main character involved in all these couplings, Caroline Forbes. There are shippers of Taroline (Tyler and Caroline), Klaroline (Klaus and Caroline), and Steroline (Stefan and Caroline) yet with the introduction of new guy Enzo will there be another shipper group on the horizon. Actress Candice Accola, who plays the bubbly yet feisty Caroline, talks about the future of the characters love life.
In an episodes to come the blonde vamp will find herself spending some alone time with Damon's buddy Enzo. Could sparks fly between these two? According Accola, it's every unlikely "There's no immediate relationship between these characters. Caroline is not the biggest fan of Damon and considering Enzo is Damon's new sidekick, I can't see her necessarily falling head over heels for Enzo."
Now the big question on long time VD fans minds, will Steroline happen this season? "As far as a romantic relationship, we're not going to see Stefan and Caroline develop into that. But we are going to see their friendship develop." Thus Steroline shippers, including myself, cry for the hope these two series regulars will become an item.
One relationship that is certainly up in the air, Taroline. The pair haven't been on friendly terms every since Klaroline steam hookup was revealed. "At this point in the series, I think once Caroline is able to let go of her guilt fully, and it's more of an ego bruise for Tyler. It really depends on where the writers want to go with these characters in their friendship. Personally, if it were actually me, that would be a very difficult thing to forgive."
Although, fans have their favorite couplings the actress likes the new single Caroline. "I think it's been really fun to watch Caroline on her own, especially because she's grown into such an independent character."
