The National Radio Astronomy Observatory

The National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ) was established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Docket No. 11745 (November 19, 1958) and by the Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) in Document 3867/2 (March 26, 1958) to minimize possible harmful interference to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Green Bank, WV and the radio receiving facilities for the United States Navy in Sugar Grove, WV. The NRQZ is bounded by NAD-83 meridians of longitude at 78d 29m 59.0s W and 80d 29m 59.2s W and latitudes of 37d 30m 0.4s N and 39d 15m 0.4s N, and encloses a land area of approximately 13,000 square miles near the state border between Virginia and West Virginia.

Magnesium’s benefits can include reduced symptoms from conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue and insomnia. Magnesium may also provide protection from a number of chronic diseases, especially those associated with aging and stress.

Recently re-discovered as an overlooked key to good health, a number of medical researchers are recommending increases to the RDA for magnesium — sometimes suggesting as much as double the current recommendations — to ensure protection from diseases such as osteoporosis and hypertension.

Essential to life, necessary for good health, and a vital component within our cells, magnesium’s benefits help our bodies maintain balance, avoid illness, perform well under stress, and maintain a general state of good health.

(Star Tribune) Minneapolis Community and Technical College makes a point of its pride in one characteristic of its students: "the most diverse student body in the state of Minnesota."

This, indeed, is something to be proud of.

But while the program options and extracurricular activities at MCTC might accurately represent its rare level of diversity, there is one glaring exception: the food.

On one of my first days as a student at MCTC, stomach rumbling, I wandered into the cafeteria to find something for lunch. I was appalled at what I found: an MCTC take on, essentially, Subway, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.

An avid healthful- and organic-food enthusiast and a vegetarian, I was not in the slightest interested in any of these options. I wandered over to the drink cooler and found a coconut water.

This was, literally, one of maybe three items, drinks included, that fit into my healthful-eating lifestyle in the entire MCTC cafeteria.

Disappointed and dejected, I paid for my coconut water (marked up, might I add, to about twice what it would be at a grocery store), and decided to wander upstairs to "Josephine's Café," the coffee stand/café marketed, as far as I could tell, as the quaint, healthy alternative to the cafeteria.

I was pretty amazed at what I found.

Besides a bunch of 1,000-plus-calorie vanilla-caramel-mocha-supreme type coffee drinks, über-frosted pastries, and a shelf with bags of Doritos and the like, there wasn't much available.

A couple of premade sandwiches on what appeared to be Wonder-bread looked straight out of a gas station. And besides a veggie cup with carrots, celery and ranch dressing, the most healthful-looking thing I could spot was a cooler full...
