It is always nice to get more out of our hockey pucks called Apple TV. And that, too, without a jailbreak. Cherry on top. Making this possible is a hack claiming to bring Russian subscription service Unlimovie.tv to the Apple TV. Though this Russian movie service may not be of much relevance in other parts of the world, the discovery of such exploits can open doors to providers in other countries too.
Following the release of Apple TV software update 5.2.1 (iOS 6.1.3 – 10B329a), FireCore has updated Seas0nPass to provide a tethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 running the latest firmware. Released in March, a minor Apple TV software update – 5.2.1 – added support for Music in the Cloud in Japan and Israel and included improvements for software update, subtitles, and general performance.
The Apple TV 3 jailbreak isn't out yet, but FireCore, the maker of Seas0nPass jailbreaking tool for Apple TV, has just shared some info on the status of this jailbreak:
Fans of the Apple TV who prefer to make their own rules have been waiting patiently for news of a jailbreak for the Apple TV 3. But while JailbreakCon 2012 had a lot to offer for many, fans of the Apple TV were left with very few hard facts. There were obviously no demonstrations of any new jailbreak, and nitoTV had even less information to share on future availability.
Remember last week when pod2g tweeted that neither he nor anyone he knows of was working on the Apple TV 3 jailbreak? We asked you to cool down and to never lose a hope since we knew there were people working on this. The confirmation that the work is ongoing on this particular jailbreak came from 9to5Mac, as they have learned that "a jailbreak for the third-generation Apple TV is indeed in the works from someone with close knowledge of the project":
iOS hacker and Chronic Dev Team member pod2g announced on his Twitter that he is not working on Apple TV 3 jailbreak. Even worse, according to his recent tweet, no one he's aware of is working on this jailbreak:

The poms would be more to the real thing if there was a handle instead of a long stick. Also, if the fringe came already scrunched so that the poms would be fully and rounder, the product would be much better. Nonetheless, my nieces didn't care about that...just getting the cheer and rustle the poms made them smile.

The nautical trend isn't just for seersucker pants or preppy boat shoes. Make waves (and keep your budget in shipshape) with these mariner-inspired hair ties. They effortlessly keep hair secure without snagging strands or leaving behind ugly creases. Best of all, they look as good on our wrists as they do in our ponytails.
This is one of my favorite birchbox products I've received. I have long, thick hair so hair ties are part of my every day routine. There's nothing I love more than coming home and putting my hair in a bun/ponytail. With my thick hair I was surprised this hair tie could hold my hair. Sometimes I have to do a third wrap around to help my hair hold more securely which stretches the band but thats ok! I like knowing that it isn't damaging or pulling out my hair. Most of all I like how it doesnt leave a crease!5
I love these hair ties. I have long hair and am constantly taking it down and putting it up. These are great because they don't stretch out and they hold my long hair up well. Where regular bands tend to eventually fall down and my hair falls down....these hold great....and they are cute!!5

Ngam is a fun, high-energy restaurant in the East Village that serves "modern Thai comfort food". They serve only hormone-free beef, chicken and pork as well as use organic and cage free eggs and dairy products; they are vegan and gluten-free friendly as well, and I love the way the menu really embraces a wide range of ingredients and some modern flair, while also offering traditional Thai fare.
Kiyo and I split two dishes; the first, and my favorite, was the "Pad See Ewe" – Smokey Wok Charred Noodles w/ Black Soy Sauce. A more vegetable-heavy version of the classic Thai flat-noodle dish, this had chicken, farm eggs, broccoli, kale and cauliflower. I absolutely loved this dish and didn't want to share with Kiyo (but sadly I had to, since I'd already promised). My one complaint is that some items are a bit overpriced, especially when good Thai restaurants are a dime a dozen in NYC; this dish was $14 and the below burger was $16. However, we checked in (on Yelp, I believe) and each got one free drink, which made the total tab seem much more fair.
Our second split item was the "Sai Oor Farang" Thai Burger, a 7oz hormone-free beef patty with homemade "saioor" curry paste, cilantro lime mayo, green papaya kraut and Chiang Mai fries (kabocha pumpkin, sweet potato, homemade red curry mayo, sweet and sour peanut relish). The fries were almost like tempura and were amazing (I could have eaten even more than I did). The burger wasn't much like regular beef burgers; the meat was more finely ground and tasted like lemongrass, which made it almost more like a gyro than a burger. It was good, and interesting, but it wouldn't satisfy if you were in the mood for a real cheeseburger. And, I'd prefer my pad see ewe, which was just to die for.
A few items I'd love to go back and try:
- "Prik King" Brussels Sprouts
- Beet Dumplings – Farm fresh beet dumplings, homemade hand-rolled egg noodles, homemade kao soy curry, pickled mustard, shallot, cilantro
- Pomelo Salad – Pomelo, tamarind & chili dressing, crispy shallot, toasted coconut, kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, peanut
- Lamb "Massaman" Roti Potpie – Locally raised lamb shoulder, cashews, sweet potatoes, homemade "massaman" curry, roti bread, cucumber "a-jard"
- Papaya Pad Thai – Green papaya noodles, Ngam's Pad Thai sauce, farm eggs, peanuts, garlic, chive, tofu. Choice of chicken, pork, beef, tofu, or vegetable

5 Reasons You're Picturing Nazis Wrong
#2. They Weren't All White Dudes
You're a savvy reader of Cracked, so you already know the German army wasn't just one big sea of broad, blond-haired Nordic faces. Hitler himself looked about as Nordic as Cheech Marin. But you probably assumed they were all white, because the Nazis sorta had a thing about cultural diversity. And it was a thing they held to strictly, except for the one time a bunch of Indians joined up to fight for Hitler:
The world came this close to a Hugo Boss turban.
Well, OK -- actually, they joined up to liberate India from British control. But in those heady days, Germany seemed like the best shot at making that happen, so around 5,000 Hindi and Muslim patriots found themselves fighting under the swastika. And kind of sucking at it, to be entirely honest.
German Federal Archives
Here we see them with Irwin Rommel, who was shoring up his "not racist" street cred for after the war.
The Indische Legion fought briefly at Normandy until they realized what utter bullshit that whole battle was and opted to fuck off for Switzerland. They were lightly shot at by French Moroccans, captured, and then shipped back to India and jail, because no one should get away with helping Nazis and not serve a little time.
Unless they're really good at math.
#1. The Nazi Leaders Were All Huge Nerds
Ever wonder what it'd be like if a bunch of socially stunted Internet nerds found themselves running a nation? That bizarre fantasy was once reality. Adolph Hitler, history's most despicable warlord, was obsessed with a children's book series all of his life. The author was a dude named Karl May, who wrote novels like this:
May's books were a series of young-adult adventure novels written about thrilling conflicts in a distant and exotic land: the Old West. For Hitler, they might as well have been the works of R.A. Salvatore or J.K. Rowling. It was the kind of books young kids read to distract themselves from the fact that the real world is way less interesting than gallivanting around a fantastic land with weapons and awesome hats. Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, whatever ridiculous name it happened to be, we all had at least one heroic character we obsessed over as kids.
Hitler's obsession never ended. Once he wound up in command of the world's most powerful military, his obsession went well beyond simple fandom and into true nerdy obsession. For his entire life, the Fuhrer was utterly convinced that May was an unrivaled genius. He considered this pacifist young-adult fiction author with no military experience to be a strategic mastermind. Hitler's attitudes toward the Blitzkrieg and even the invasion of Russia were based in part on this fucking guy:
See? It's not just my crazy ass drawing these conclusions. When that whole "invading Russia during the winter" thing turned out to be exactly as bad an idea as it's been for everyone but the Mongols, Hitler doubled down on his ridiculous fantasy novels, demanding that his generals read more of these children's books so they could finally grasp the tactical genius of a man whose actual fighting experience didn't extend beyond the common cold.
Heinrich Himmler, meanwhile, was obsessed with knights and magic. He turned Hitler's bodyguard and fearsome instrument of genocide, the SS, into a mock knightly order, complete with their own castle and round table. Inside his (admittedly kind of cool) medieval fortress, Himmler would hold bizarre magical rituals and presumably scream "LIGHTNING BOLT" while throwing Koosh balls at his trusted adjutants. Yes, at the heart of the Third Reich was a goddamn LARP.
Why do evil madmen get all the best fortresses?
Joseph Goebbels, on the third horrible mutant hand, was an A/V geek. You might have guessed that from the whole "He was the Nazi propaganda minister" thing, but his love of film went a little beyond normal interest. As Russian soldiers drank Berlin down like a big, shrapnely glass of vodka, Goebbels urged his employees to die horribly because in a hundred years, it'd make a sweet-ass movie. His last words to them were, in essence, "If you die well, they'll pick Ryan Gosling to play you in the movie version of this. If you die poorly, I dunno ... Nicolas Cage, probably."
Hermann Goring is the only Nazi high official who doesn't fit cleanly into a nerdy stereotype. And he was fat, so I'd say we're at least halfway there.
Mountain Dew: Code Red was his thirstenfuhrer.
Robert Evans runs Cracked's personal experience article team, and does a bunch of other stuff too. Here are more of his Internet writings.

Hi Jibber,
I had terrible skin on my face through eating certain foods which triggered a reaction (tomatoes, oats, colouring, artificial flavours etc) and since going primal my face is a thousand times better although I can now add avocados to the list of trigger foods :-(. I have had a few adjustment issues though as I am sporting a rather attractive rash on my chest at the mo and I did get one on my back but that is starting to clear also. I think it was the huge changes taking place inside that my body had to get used to. I'm still a work in progress but I have no doubs whatsoever that I will have beatiful skin come summer time - I'm hoping the sun exposure will clear up the rest.
A good tip that I got when I posted a similar thread was to use coconut oil. I use the same brand that I cook with/add to food and it's available at health food stores in the UK not sure about other parts of the world. I know it sounds a bit strange but I assure you it does work - I melt it in my hands and put some on at night time and wash off in the morning. You should maybe do it one day on one day off to prevent blocked pores on unaffected areas (which I noticed from using it every day). I haven't tried it on my face as I haven't needed too but another poster advised using it as a sort of face mask after washing your face and then rinse off after 5 minutes or so. If ever I need to I will try this.
I eat butter and heavy cream but very very rarely do I eat cheese.
Best of luck!!

In the spirit and tradition of community-based organizations, the SCV Bank board has customarily rotated the leadership of the board.
President and CEO Michael Hause said, "I have known Mr. DeLeon for over 27 years, and he has been a leader in many fields and endeavors. Ralph is well suited to lead SCV Bank into the future."
After managing several grower and harvesting companies, DeLeon formed SAMCO, which provides custom harvesting services for growers in California, Arizona, Hawaii, Florida and The Bahamas.
DeLeon has been honored as a Kellog Fellow of the Agricultural Leadership Program. He has served as director of Fruit Growers Laboratory, Associates Insectary, Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce, Boys and Girls Club of the Santa Clara Valley, the Ventura Chapter of the American Cancer Society and Agricultural Producers.
DeLeon was a commissioner of the Private Industry Council in Ventura; appointed by the director of the California Employment Department to the Agricultural Employment Forum; appointed by the U. S. Secretary of Agriculture to The Hass Avocado Commission; and appointed by the president of the University of California to the President's Advisory Commission on Agriculture and Natural Resources.
In addition, DeLeon helped 65 farm-worker families with home ownership in Santa Paula. He served in the U.S. Army 1963-65.
Incoming Chairman DeLeon said, "These are unprecedented times for the banking industry. Considering the melee that continues to plague banks both large and small, I am all the more proud of the superior performance and conservative approach demonstrated by SCV Bank. SCV Bank's future looks bright and I am excited to be a part of it."
Hause praised outgoing chairman Cole for his leadership, "Under Guy Cole's leadership, the bank experienced significant growth in terms of assets and loans."
Outgoing chairman Cole said, "It was an honor and a privilege to serve as SCV Bank's Chairman for the past several years. The silver lining of the economic downturn was that it gave opportunity for SCV Bank to stand out among the banking community."

"This game is cool, but it's not THAT cool. I don't want to die, I'd rather walk home."
– Joe Dowdle, Survivor: Tocantins
Being medically evacuated has to be the worst way to leave Survivor. All your great plans, all the myriad possibilities that the game presents – torn away from you before you can see them to completion. At least if you get blindsided, you were properly beat. Medical evacuation leaves you wondering what if.
For a lot of people watching, that's what made Colton's appendicitis so satisfying. Colton's cruelty to Christina and to Bill went beyond the bounds of the game. Colton didn't just call Christina a cockroach or tell her to jump in the fire. Somehow, he made her believe it – so that halfway through the episode, she was calling herself a cockroach. That's the most invidious fallout from bullying. The victim actually starts to lose her self-esteem.
I was co-hosting a Survivor chat on EW.com yesterday, and people were wishing that Colton would get struck down. When he actually was smitten by the angry island gods, they cheered.
That seemed to be the case on the island, too. Nobody was sad to see Colton go. It was like in a movie when the villain dies, or an episode of Transformers when Megatron is temporarily defeated. Starscream immediately starts jockeying for command. All the former henchman, who were kept in tow by the Big Bad's will for evil, rush to fill the void. Jonas, Colton's lackadaisical lackey, positions himself to be boss. "I'm ready to take the bull by the horns and make myself the ring leader," he says. Alicia frets that Colton didn't give her the idol – the final betrayal from a betrayer.
The Fishy this week was a tough call. On the one hand, I wanted to give Karma the credit it's due. But then Survivor: Guatemala contestant Brian Corridan wrote to me, "Colton's appendix for the Fishy this week. It had the guts to do what no other player would: get Colton out of the game. (Guts pun intended, naturally.)" So Colton's Appendix – it's your lucky day. Let's see what you have in store for us next week!
Parliament of Fools
I really love this season's cast. You have a few players you can genuinely root for. Kim, Sabrina and Troyzan are all smart gamers who play aggressively but without hostility. You have your villains, the self-aggrandizing jerks who inevitably get their comeuppance – Alicia, Matt, and Colton.
And then you have your clowns.
This season is particularly high on unintentional comic relief. Of course Tarzan stands out – in his blue bikini briefs, he'd stand out anywhere. He's both the smartest and the dumbest person on the island, and speaks only in Sherlock Holmes clichés. Kat is probably still wringing her hands in fear about the "appendix thing."
Leif may be the least verbal Survivor contestant ever. As Colton is writhing on the ground in agony in front of him, Leif asks, "Does it really hurt ... really bad?" And Jonas has his mind blown by literally everything.
My personal favorite may actually be Michael. He has emerged as a caricature of Boring Alpha Male. Just watch him as he stands on the fringes of groups, shuffling from one foot to the other, contributing absolutely nothing. "I'm going to eat every single ice cream flavor," he says at the reward. Way to go!
As the tribes merge, and Kim and Troyzan begin to make moves while Tarzan stumbles across the horizon, I'm hoping for a fantastic season.

DOR is a military term that means Date of Rank. The Date of Rank is defined as the day that promotion is effective. That date is usually prior to the date of promotion sometimes by days, weeks, and years depending on the requirements of the promotion authority. The date of rank is used to establish precedence for promotion to the next higher rank and to establish seniority among individuals of the same rank.
SSG Johnson and SSG Lacy scored the same on their APFT and tied with the board for the AGR job, so we had to go by their date of rank (DOR) to decide who would get the job and the promotion to E-7.

Officials from the American intelligence community recently told a Senate hearing that computer networks across the United States face a threat of cyberattack from hostile governments, hackers, and terrorists.
"It's hard to overemphasize its significance," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said. "These capabilities put all sectors of our country at risk—from government and private networks to critical infrastructures."
And cyberattack is far from the only threat, according to the annual intelligence review. Other reasons for angst:
- Terrorism and organized crime from decentralized enemies;
- Nuclear weapons in the hands of hostile regimes from North Korea to Iran;
- Attacks on interests in outer space vital for communications, surveillance, and navigation;
- Pandemics caused by mutating pathogens;
- Threats to our supplies of food, water, energy, and minerals;
- Economic deterioration caused by a crisis in Europe.
Despite our relative prosperity, our emphasis on self-esteem, our investments in personal and financial security, our boundless expenditures on health and fitness, our industries of fun and entertainment, we are a nation gripped by fear, angst, and uncertainty.
As the poet W. B. Yeats said nearly a century ago during a time of similar upheaval,
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Deliver Us from Darkness
Followers of Jesus Christ, of all people, have reason not to despair. On the night of the Lord's impending departure, however, despair was in the air.
"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace," Jesus told his disciples in the upper room. "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
Have peace. Take heart. In the world. Amid tribulation. Don't fear or despair. Why? Because Christ has overcome the world. How?
In the garden, he let anguished drops of blood fall to the ground. He endured betrayal, arrest, and desertion. Before the Sanhedrin, he withstood mockery and slaps in the face from those who ought to have worshiped him. He was silent before the self-indulgent foolishness of Herod Antipas. Before Pilate, he allowed the unjust sentence of death to remain. With the Roman soldiers, he absorbed the crown of thorns, the whipping, the loss of his clothing. On the cross he endured exposure before the vulgar masses, the agony of nails through his wrists and feet, the torture of asphyxiation, the catcalls. In his soul he experienced the shock of his Father's withdrawal and wrath.
That scene doesn't seem like the kind of overcoming that will enable us to take heart. But it is. Jesus said, "Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit" (John 12:24). Death, it turns out, is not the end; it is the entrance to life, the passageway to escape sin, fear, and despair. We must die so that we may live.
Christ died, paying the penalty for our sins, and was raised three days later, demonstrating our forgiveness with God. Now united through faith with Christ, we too are called to die to all that enslaves us, all that tempts us to despair. The stone has been rolled away from the tomb, revealing the entrance to a new life for believers, where the forces of fear, decay, and despair can never have the last word. We too, because of Christ, can overcome this tribulation-filled world . . . even as we await the next one.
Good News
No wonder, then, that the message entrusted to the church is called gospel—literally, good news. The church has been given the good news that liberates men and women from despair . . . providing daily freeom and eternal hope, no matter the fear du jour.
It is a joyful task, but it can be a difficult one, as well. The same forces that drive our neighbors to despair can block our best efforts to share this good news: issues of ignorance, access, economic and political barriers, persecution, cultural clashes, and more. We live in a tribulation-filled world that sometimes chooses despair over good news.
Things may seem to be falling apart now; the center may indeed be crumbling. Yet because Christ has overcome, we can take heart. We can also take his good news to the ends of the earth with confidence, knowing that despair can never have the last word.

Vanessa Minnillo
- 2006
Maxim's Girl
Minnillo makes her second appearance on the cover of lad magazine Maxim. In the issue, she talks about growing up different in the "good-ol'-boy town" of Charleston, S.C. "My whole life I've been scrutinized because I'm ethnic," she tells the magazine. "So I've had to prove myself from the inside out...all my friends had blonde hair and blue eyes, and there I was, looking like I look." But Maxim likes her looks, placing her at No. 15 on their annual Hot 100 list.
- 2007
Breathing Life into Bongo
Following the likes of Nicole Richie and Rachel Bilson, Minnillo becomes the face of Bongo. "I got the call and it was a no brainer," Minnillo says in a statement. "I have always loved Bongo." In March, Minnillo also inks a deal to design a makeup line for Flirt! Cosmetics, which debuts in August.
Moving On & In
Minnillo tells PEOPLE that she's leaving MTV's Total Request Live, but it's not the only change in her life. She and Lachey take their one-year relationship to the next level, moving into a two-bedroom condo in Manhattan together. A month earlier Minnillo said she couldn't wait to be a mom.
Minnillo Poses with Lohan & Knife
Days after actress Lindsay Lohan, 20, enters rehab, risqué photos of Minnillo, 26, and the troubled starlet surface on the Internet. The photos show Lohan and Minnillo posing provocatively with knives and were apparently taken in June 2006.
More Racy Photos
When tabloid magazines get a hold of nude paparazzi photographs of Minnillo and Lachey while on vacation in Mexico, the pair speaks to OK! magazine, where Minnillo says, "As a woman, my body is a temple, it's mine. So it was embarrassing. But we did nothing wrong." Lachey adds, "This is the girl that I love...It's hard for me as a man to see my girl go through that. Everybody said it was a scandal. Where's the scandal? I was in Mexico with my girlfriend of a year, celebrating our anniversary on a private vacation. It's not like I was caught with a Mexican hooker."
- 2009
Judging True Beauty
Minnillo returns to TV as host of the ABC reality show, True Beauty. Executive-produced by Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher, the show pits gorgeous contenders against one another–under the assumption that they're being judged on their looks alone. Minnillo serves as host and judge with former model Cheryl Tiegs and stylist Nole Marin.
Romantic Reunion
After more than three years together, Minnillo, 28, and Lachey, 35, call it quits. Though a source says the split "was the right thing for both of them to do," they reunite in October. "I was single for a minute, there, and then we've kind of patched things up," Lachey says. In November 2010, the couple takes their relationship to the next level – getting engaged.
- 2011
Surprise Wedding
Minnillo, 30, and Lachey, 37, marry at Sir Richard Branson's private Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands in front of 35 friends and family. "For us, this is just a stepping stone to do what we ultimately want and that's to start a family together," the bride, who wears Monique Lhuillier and changes her name to Vanessa Lachey, tells PEOPLE of her surprise nuptials to her beau of five years.
- 2012
Baby on Board
The newly minted Mrs. Lachey is pregnant with her first child, husband Nick announces on Live! With Kelly. "I've had a chance to do a lot of great things in my career and my life but this is the one thing that, more than any other, I look forward to," the dad-to-be says of welcoming a baby later this year. "The fact that it's actually here, it's overwhelming."
New Arrival
Lachey and husband Nick welcome their first child, son Camden John. "Born today at 6:54 p.m., he came into this world at 8 lbs., 9 oz. and 21 inches," the couple tells PEOPLE in a statement. "Love has truly been redefined for both of us."

GE plans calls for 100 management cuts, 200 temporary layoffs
GE Transportation announced Tuesday that it's prepared to negotiate the terms of a proposed layoff that would eliminate 950 Erie jobs.
What's not up for negotiation, however, is the company's plan to eliminate about 100 management-side employees and to temporarily furlough about 200 employees because of a temporary lack of work.
Unlike permanent furloughs, lack-of-work layoffs are typically viewed as a way of life at Erie County's largest employer.
"I don't know how many times I've been laid off," said Roger Zaczyk, president of Local 506 of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America.
This round of layoffs is being blamed on a slowdown in the mining industry. That has an effect directly on the sales of mining equipment made by GE Transportation and on the sale of freight locomotives, which haul coal.
Lorenzo Simonelli, the company's chief executive, said lack-of-work layoffs are likely to take place during the next six months.
Slowing demand for coal has prompted many freight railroads to park existing locomotives and has softened demand for new ones, he said.
"Our customers have about 3,000 locomotives that are parked at the moment," he said.
While rail traffic is off slightly this year, Tony Hatch, a New York City analyst who follows rail freight, said the long-term outlook is positive.

The No. 8 seed, in which the Lawrence High softball team entered the NJSIAA Group III Central Tournament, might have indicated Cinderella or underdog, but the play on the field has said something different.
Yesterday in Manasquan, the Cardinals continued their run through the state tournament with a 3-2 victory over third-seeded Manasquan to claim the sectional title, the first in the history of the program, which dates back to the 1970s.
"It is so surreal; I've never been a part of anything like this as a player or a coach," head coach Tara Harrigan said. "The girls have worked so hard for this."
With the victory, the Cardinals advance to Tuesday's Group III semifinal at Lenape, likely at 4 p.m., against South champion Kingsway (27-3), the section's top seed and a 2-0 winner over Central Regional.
"They're starting to understand they deserve to be here," Harrigan said. "They might have been the underdog at the start, but it doesn't matter what seed you are at end, as long as you win it. They're gaining confidence to go out and take it."
Harrigan said that on the bus ride home from yesterday's game the team started to research Kingsway on the internet and are unfazed by the Dragons' record, having gained confidence by beating Allentown when the Redbirds were a 20-win team.
"They're riding high and ready to face whatever challenge comes to them on Tuesday," she said.
Kim Ragazzo picked up the mound win as she allowed five hits and struck out five.
"It was a lot of defense behind her," Harrigan said. "Those girls (Manasquan) put the ball in the play; she was getting the groundouts and popouts."
Manasquan scored unearned runs in the first and fifth innings.
Lawrence had three of its four hits in the fifth as well as all of its runs. Sammie Peralta, Nickki DeFillipo and Marissa Harrigan all singled. The first run scored on a throwing error on a Katie MacDuff grounder, the second came home on Harrigan's single, and the game-winner scored when Amanda Toto drew a bases-loaded walk.
"It's been a whole team effort," the coach said. "It hasn't been just pitching or just defense, everyone has been solid, they have each other's backs."
Lawrence (14-8) 000 030 0–3 4 2

Research Interests
Our research is a labor of love that has as its context understanding how the nervous system generates motor behaviors. It can be argued that nervous systems evolved in animals to allow for sensible decisions to be made in generating and adapting motor actions. Sense organs provide the information needed for making these modifications. The animals we have studied are arthropod invertebrates, and most work in the lab is done on sense organs of insects that detect mechanical forces (mechanoreceptors).
Cogent reasons for studying insects are that their nervous systems have fewer neurons and their sense organs are individually identifiable. Experiments can be performed on these animals that are difficult or impossible to do in vertebrates. Our results are relevant to problems in motor control and Biorobotics. We have also studied these questions using engineering methods. However, the actual impetus for our studies is that insect behaviors are fascinating and richly complex. They are also constructed with an economy of design that reflects their remarkable adaptive success and longevity. Our research is further described on our webpages (see http://users.marshall.edu/~zill/index). The specific projects we are currently pursuing are described in Projects and our Publications are listed and some are available for download. We also have a number of video sequences available for study or perusal, many of which have audio channels with recordings of sensory or motor activities during the behaviors. We have also posted a page related to Issues in Medical Education and teaching Basic Science/Neurobiology as a forum for ideas and discussion.

With the biggest fight of the year only one week away it is crucial for any boxing fan to understand what Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley really means, especially at this time of their respected careers and more so what the number one pound for pound fighter on the planet, Pacquiao, needs to do to get the victory over the hall of fame guaranteed veteran fighter.
At this point of time Mosley is no longer the beast he once was in his prime. In fact he looked god awful in his last fight against Sergio Mora 8 months ago and just as horrible in the last 8 rounds against his fight with Mayweather almost exactly a year ago.
With all that being said, Mosley still is a very dangerous fight for Pacquiao because he is the much larger, much stronger fighter of the two, who can still hit much harder than anyone that Manny has ever faced in his career.
So for all the fight fans wanting to know how does Pacquiao defeat Mosley here is a photo slide show of 10 Things Manny Pacquiao Needs To Do To Defeat Shane Mosley.

Twitter and Tragedy: A Revamped American Religious Experience
On my first Patriots' Day in Boston, I was enjoying lunch with several colleagues when someone rushed into the restaurant: There had been an explosion at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Moments later, caravans of ambulances and police cars raced, and the reports of casualties rolled in.
In the hours and days that followed, social media became for me, and many others, a sacred space to share our prayers and words of disbelief.

The failure of the Dell Streak may havesaid us other than but it appears there is a demand for giganticsmart phones or tiny tablets later all and that folk have no troubleextending their hands and pockets as long as the device in questionis great.
This is being proved by the strongdemand for the Samsung Galaxy Note of which 5 million handsets havebeen shipped till now. It is however not as good as few of the otherfamous handsets out there, having Samsung's own Galaxy S II butconsidering the phone's quite odd dimensions we think the phone isdoing quite considerable.
The phone will be going on sale inJapan soon, which is certain to foster bolster its sales. The phonewill be proffered on NTT DoCoMo's LTE network and will be sold underthe name 'Docomo Next Series Galaxy Note SC-05D. Anyway, if you thinkhumans are the just ones who look to have brought a liking for theGalaxy Note, here is a video of an elephant clearly in love on thephoneblet.

Hot off its iPhone 5S and 5C releases, Apple is ready to unveil more new products. AllThingsD says the company is planning an event for Tuesday, October 22. As for what to expect...
"Expect the mini to get its big brother's Retina display and both are expected to get faster chips and better cameras. The new iPad will also reportedly be thinner." (Via KNBC)
"We expect to see more iPads coming out, perhaps with more iPhone 5S-like form factors like slimmer, lighter, perhaps Touch ID, the fingerprint sensor." (Via CNBC)
The invitation-only event will focus on the latest updates to the iPad line and other news with its Mac Pro and OS X Mavericks. (Via AllThingsD)
Ars Technica reports changes that make Apple products faster, thinner and lighter are almost expected these days, along with improved cameras and displays. But it's the fingerprint sensor and rumors of a new product line, like a watch-shaped product, that making the rounds this time.
Rumors aside, the unofficial October 22 date coincides with a few other big events.
Like Nokia's Nokia World Event in Abu Dhabi and Microsoft's release of its Surface 2 tablets. (Via CNET)
At this point media outlets are eagerly waiting for an invitation from Apple. AllThingsD was unable to scrounge the location of the event from its insider source.

Strong Earthquake Rattles Northeastern Japan : Discovery News
A magnitude 6.7 earthquake hit the region most affected by the March 11 magnitude 9.0 quake and tsunami.
The strong jolt hit at 6:51 am local time, 31 miles off the coast of Miyako, Iwate prefecture.
A tsunami warning was issued but no high waves were reported. No tsunami warning was issued for the Fukushima nuclear plant.
There are no immediate reports of earthquake damage.
Japan issued a tsunami warning Thursday after a magnitude-6.7 earthquake struck in the northeast of the country, rattling the areas hardest hit by the March 11 quake and tsunami disasters.
But the meteorological agency lifted the warning about an hour after the latest jolt hit at 6:51 am (2151 GMT Wednesday) some 50 kilometers (31 miles) off the east coast of Miyako, Iwate prefecture, at a depth of 20 kilometers in the Pacific.
USGS also registered the quake at 6.7 in magnitude at a depth of 32 kilometers.
The Japanese agency had warned that a 50 centimeter (20-inch) tsunami could be expected in the region, but no warning was issued to Fukushima at the center of the nation's nuclear crisis.
Public broadcaster NHK reported there were no immediate reports of damage from the quake while no sizable high waves were seen.
Local authorities issued evacuation orders to some 8,000 households in Iwate, NHK said.
Shinkansen bullet train services were temporarily suspended, while there was no new damage to the Onagawa nuclear power plant in Miyagi, south of Iwate, which has been out of operation since the March 11 disaster, NHK added.
The northeast coast of Japan's main Honshu island was ravaged by a 9.0 magnitude quake and monster tsunami on March 11 which left some 23,000 people dead or missing.
The disasters also crippled the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, triggering the world's worst atomic accident since Chernobyl in 1986 and forcing hundreds of thousands of residents to leave their homes.


text: Well growing kids should definitely not be ravenous, they need the constant fuel to stay focused at school and well for their growth. I would say nuts, fruit, cheese, and maybe a salad (with protein from a meat source). Also dosent have to be a large salad, you can make a small tuna salad. A veggie/meat stir fry would work. There are plenty of non grain orientated options.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Good morning, fellow Fools! It's time to check in on the movers and shakers in health care today.
Will Ariad continue to rally?
Ariad Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARIA ) looks to continue its rally today following the announcement last Friday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved a revised Prescribing Information and a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy for the company's leukemia drug Iclusig. Per the revised label, Iclusig can now only be prescribed to patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who have failed to benefit from or are ineligible to take other alternative therapies, including Novartis AG's (NYSE: NVS ) Gleevec. Gleevec is currently a first-line treatment, whereas Iclusig is now a treatment of last resort in many ways.
What's my take? It's important to understand that Ariad shares have now rebounded more than 200% since imploding upon the FDA placing a partial clinical hold on Iclusig last October. Even more importantly, you should keep in mind that Iclusig is not a game-changer for Ariad. Despite being the company's only commercially available drug, Iclusig raked in less than $17 million in the third quarter, giving the company a $66 million net loss for the quarter. Given that Ariad's market cap is now a staggering $1.3 billion following this rally, I think Foolish investors would best be served by taking a pass on this one.
Supernus may pull back today
Supernus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SUPN ) looks like it will pull back today after soaring more than 13% last Tuesday. The stock is now up close to 20% over the last few sessions alone.
Supernus's rally was sparked by the FDA approving United Therapeutic's (NASDAQ: UTHR ) pulmonary arterial hypertension drug Orenitram. Orenitram was co-developed by Supernus, and the company will receive milestone and single-digit royalty payments as a result. Per the agreement, Supernus could receive a $2 million milestone payment based on the approval.
What's my view? I think this pullback is healthy. The licensing deal doesn't appear to be a game-changer for Supernus, unless Orenitram sales are out of sight. Overall, this approval is a much bigger deal for United Therapeutics.

Student Ambassadors
Julia Leth-Perez
3L | Wichita, KS | Wichita State University | firstname.lastname@example.com
My name is Julia Leth-Perez, and I am a single mother of two. I am a third-year law student at the University of Kansas. I graduated with a bachelor's in history and philosophy from Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas.
As a nontraditional law student, I was concerned about getting into a law school that could meet both my academic and personal needs. During my visits to KU Law, I learned about the low student-to-professor ratio and small section sizes. The warmth and pride everyone expressed made the school stand apart from others that I visited.
In my short time at Green Hall, I have been fully able to appreciate the initial reasons I chose to attend KU. Within the first few days of school, the community of faculty and students took me in and KU became my home. Having people so welcoming and eager to help has made my transition easier. I know this is where I belong because of the quality of people that constantly surround me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have, so please feel free to ask.

Sotheby's Wine Auction Features HK$1,000,000 Dom Pérignon Rosé ŒnothèqueBy Alex Neely • • Category: New & Noteworthy, Oenology
Sotheby's Hong Kong was delighted to announce a rare addition to their May 21st wine auction – Dom Pérignon Rosé Œnothèque.
Released from the reserve cellar of Dom Pérignon, the Rosé Œnothèque has never been commercially unveiled before.
"This is a very exciting moment since these extraordinary Champagnes have never before been released and they direct from the cellars in Epemay," said Serena Sutcliffe, MW, Worldwide Head of Wine at Sotheby's.
Officially included in the sale as of this morning, the 30-bottle lot of Dom Pérignon Rosé is estimated to fetch HK$750,000 to 1,000,000. Among the 30 bottles, Dom Pérignon provided Sotheby's with bottles and magnums from 1966, 1978, 1982, 1985, 1988, and 1990. In addition, Chateau Cheval Blanc and Chateu d'Yquem will also be on the auction block.
Made from the purest fruit – rare Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes – the Dom Pérignon is created at only a handful of the finest grands crus vineyards. Specially chosen for their soil and exposure, the grand crus vineyards allow each Rosé to age for at least ten years to obtain their fullest expression.
While Dom Pérignon has unveiled 30 of their Rosés, a limited number of bottles have been set aside for a further decade, and even longer.

A state Senator's consultant charged in a San Francisco corruption and organized crime case is remaining free on bail.
A judge on Monday rejected a federal prosecutor's demand to revoke Keith Jackson's $250,000 bail. Prosecutors argue that the property Jackson is offering as collateral to assure his attendance at court hearings and trial isn't worth as much as Jackson claims.
But the judge agreed to give Jackson several weeks to find property for collateral.
Jackson was arrested March 26 and freed Thursday.
The San Francisco resident is charged with soliciting bribes for state Sen. Leland Yee.
Jackson and Yee are also charged with agreeing to connect an undercover FBI operative with an arms dealer in exchange for cash.
Jackson, Lee and their co-defendants are scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.
