RANCHO CUCAMONGA - An outpouring of support has grown online for teenager Matt Lipp, who has been in a coma for a week after suffering a seizure earlier this month.
Lipp, who had no prior major medical issues, suffered the seizure on Jan. 4 at the home of a friend, Michael Dean, and was immediately transported to an area hospital.
Lipp then suffered a seizure every day since his ordeal began until Tuesday night. Dean visited Lipp at the intensive care unit of Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
"He was doing really good," said Dean, a freshman at Chaffey High School. "He was sleeping perfect."
Audrey Conte, a sophomore at Alta Loma High School, said Lipp's friends didn't initially think the condition was serious, until they heard Lipp was in a coma.
"It was rough at first," Conte said.
"It was hard to eat and sleep. It's gotten easier."
Lipp's story has spread throughout the region in recent weeks thanks to social media.
A group of Lipp's friends - Conte, Dean, Emily Danna and others - started using the hashtags #Lippstrong and #PrayforMatt on Twitter.
Since then, a multitude of well-wishers have left messages of support on Facebook pages, Instagram and Twitter.
"It was just between us, and then one or two days after, it just broke out," Dean said.
Chaffey Joint Union High School District students have also posted messages and posters of support.
"We were just non-stop tweeting about it because we were so heartbroken," Danna said.
Lipp's older brother Joey said the doctors suspect Matt Lipp suffered autoimmune encephalitis and tests are still being conducted.
"We don't know what triggered it," Joey Lipp said.
"The doctors really have no idea and they're guessing it could have started with the cold or the flu, or a sinus infection. They wanted to check to see if there are any tumors and they don't think it was a tumor. They really have no idea at this point."
Joey Lipp said the family is extremely grateful for the support. The family spends every night at the hospital gaining strength from the messages on social media.
"It's been amazing," Joey Lipp said.
"Every night our family gets together and we go through Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and look at everything everybody's been writing. It's one of those things that keeps us hopeful and strong, because we've had so many people who have cared."
Many supporters, including the Rancho Cucamonga High School Cougars baseball team, have since visited Matt Lipp in the hospital. He played for the Cougars and has aspirations to attend the University of Hawaii on a baseball scholarship.
To support Lipp's family, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/matthewlipp
Chili's is also hosting a fundraiser at locations in Rancho Cucamonga, Chino Hills, Fontana, Montclair, Diamond Bar and Corona, on Jan. 22 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Customers must bring a flyer provided by the support group, which can be found posted on @RanchoNow on Twitter.

Exercise and heart rate
To determine your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. This number represents how many times your heart should beat per minute at its maximum rate. Multiply that number by 0.6 and 0.85 to determine the range of heart rate to strive for. Healthy people can build up gradually to be able to sustain this heart rate for 30 to 45 minutes at least 3 times a week to build aerobic fitness.

RIDGEFIELD, CT - The #4 Merrimack men's lacrosse team cruised to a 14-6 non-conference victory over Rollins Thursday evening at Ridgefield High School's Tiger Hollow Stadium.
The Warriors were led offensively by Corey Lunney (Little Silver, NJ) who finished the night with four goals and one assist. Greg Melaugh (Billerica, Mass.) tallied three goals and three helpers on the night for the Warriors. Freshman Jamie Shand (Massapequa, NY) picked up his first career goal and also recorded a team-high four assists in the victory.
The Warriors started off the game quick with a scoring strike 15 seconds into the opening half as Mike Perdie (Wading River, NY) found the back of the net off of a great individual move to get free. The Warriors would rack up three more first period goals as Lunney, Jordan Tiger (Ridgefield, CT) and Matt Marini (Trumbull, CT) all scored to give Merrimack the 4-0 advantage after one period of play.
Perdie would extend the Warriors lead to 5-0 after a nice pass from Shand set him up in front of the net all alone. The tars would respond with their first goal of the game less that 20 seconds later as Peter Harvey scored after he won the faceoff.
Melaugh would score the final two goals of the opening half off of Shand passes to give the Warriors the 7-1 lead heading into halftime. The Warriors held the advantage in shots in the first half 33-12.
The Warriors opened up the second half of play with a 4-0 run as Paul Jones (Guilderland, NY) started the run less than a minute into the third period as he found the back of the net after a Perdie assist. Melaugh, Shand and Lunney connected on the other three goals during the run for the Warriors as the score was extended to 11-1 in favor of Merrimack.
Rollins connected on a goal to put the Warriors scoring streak to an end but Lunney scored less than 30 second later to give the Warriors the 12-2 advantage.
Rollins would connect on the final four goals of the night to make the score 14-6.
The Warriors would finish the game holding the advantage in shots 51-31 and groundballs 33-27. Rollins would win the faceoff battle 15-9. The Warriors finished the game going 3-6 in extra man opportunities while the Tars were held to 2-5 in those opportunities.
Peter Schielke (Ridgefield, CT) and Tiger played in front of their hometown crowds on Thursday night. Tiger scored for the Warriors while Schielke led the way defensively for the Warriors locking down the Tars offensive threats all night long. Perdie finished off his night with two goals and one assist for the Warriors in the victory.
Merrimack goalie Morgan Green (Portsmouth, RI) improved to 3-0 on the season after recording six saves while backup goaltender Connor Reagan (East Lyme, CT) recorded four saves in the final period of action to preserve the victory. Rollins Andrew Sheerin made 13 saves for the Tars in the defeat.
Up next, Merrimack (3-0) will travel to face Saint Rose in the first Northeast-10 Conference tilt of the 2012 campaign at 4:30 pm.

It wasn't until the nurse practioner pointed it out last week that it dawned on me.
I've become Phyllis Vining.
I worked with Phyllis a very brief time around 1995. She was hired to sell ads at the paper I worked for and from the time she walked in the door, I knew she was different.
I thought she was elderly back then-now I realize she was probably mid-50s but in her mind Phyllis was no more than 25-only the lines around her eyes gave away her secret.

LONG BEACH - Jackey Park is a manager of a small beauty supply store in North Long Beach, and it's a tough business to be in.
Not because of the lagging economy, but because of crime, she said.
Park works at "O Boo Ja Beauty Supply," located in a strip mall at Atlantic Avenue and Artesia Boulevard.
She and several other employees and residents in the area cite chronic fights in the parking lots from students at nearby Jordan High School. Shoplifting and major thefts are also a daily problem among people of all ages.
Park said two of her customers were beat up recently during a purse-snatching in the parking lot, and she noted car burglaries and car thefts are a constant problem.
"I caught a shoplifter and she pulled my hair," Park said. "It's rough."
Across the street at Primo's barber shop, it's a different vibe. The men inside all know one another, and continue to come to the shop whether they still live in the area or not. Business is good and so is life.
But a few blocks away at Houghton Park, a group of Jordan High students talk about being hassled by gang members on their way to and from school and regularly losing a friend or relative to violence.
"For the most part it's mellow, people see our boards and know we're here to skate," said Hezekia Seales, a 23-year-old Long Beach resident born and raised in the city.
"If you're cool, it's cool," he said. "Just don't do stupid (stuff)."

Would you expect that stories from two thousand years ago would be relevant today? Many Mexican American artists of the last forty years include references to Aztec myths in their work. In this multidisciplinary lesson, your students will explore this connection between contemporary and ancient times and the ways in which cultural movements create identity through iconography. The study of identity is particularly relevant to adolescents. Many kinds of activities—including creative writing, discussion, concept-mapping, and art making—are interwoven to engage the class.

By Jake Landers
Published July 2013
Might as well continue with another depressing range story because at the time of this writing it looks like the hot dry spring will continue into a hotter and drier summer. I hope I'm wrong.
Recovery of our grazing lands at this time depends 99 % on rainfall and 1% on management, but it's always good to think about the plants that we need to know more about in our attempt to make ranching a sustainable enterprise.
Red threeawn is another poverty grass. Its leaves are short and thin without much to graze on. It matures in a hurry and quickly looses any forage value for livestock. Once it was more common on the ranch than it is now. I remember seeing a sea of red on our Mesquite flats in early summer when the grass was full of seed heads. The red comes from the long awns or tails of the seeds which are important in pushing the seed into the soil to establish a new plant (and, unfortunately, into the wool and hair of sheep and goats). Why they are red defies explanation, for sure it's not to attract pollinators. All grasses are wind pollinated, and there is no need for color, attractive odor, or nectar to attract Butterflies and Bees.
Red threeawn takes advantage of soil disturbance to get established. Heavy grazing and drought that destroy the turf allow the seeds to penetrate the soil and benefit from the light showers that wet the top of the ground. Individual plants last a few years, and with time, they are replaced with better adapted plants, depending on available seed, adequate moisture and protection from heavy grazing. I'm confident the abundant plants I remember were established in the 1930's and again in the 50's and were less obvious as Dad became a better manager.
Red threeawn, sometimes called Purple threeawn, has the scientific name of Aristida purpurea var. longiseta. It extends from Canada to northern Mexico as a rather variable plant. In recent years it has been grouped with one big taxonomic mess of perennial threeawns consisting of about seven species, now varieties, in Aristida pupurea.
Today on the ranch it exists as a minor species. Red threeawn establishes easily on two rather different soil conditions. On a repeatedly overgrazed Mesquite flat it can be a dominant grass, a red carpet when the seedheads are ripe. And it can be the only grass growing on Harvester ant beds. It is easy to spot an ant bed in the pasture every 100 feet or so by the Red threeawn, which because of the weather has been bleached to straw color, no longer red.
The part of the ranch that I inherited was extremely overgrazed in 1938 when Dad acquired it. Under his management he has left it better than he found it, and I am intent on doing the same. And that means less Red threeawn and the other poverty grasses: Texas grama, Red grama, and Hairy tridens.
Reading The Landscape
A Edwards Plateau pasture in dry winter. What kind of tree is prominent in the center? What is the dark gray green understory shrub? What is the green plant in the fenceline? —JL
|See below for Jake's answer
Jake's comments: The tree is Chittamwood or Gum Bumelia which reacts to Mistletoe by making "witches broom" clusters; beneath is Algerita; green plant in fenceline is Sacahuista or Beargrass, poisonous to sheep and goats in spring. It appears to be a well managed pasture with a bit too much Algerita. —JL

Thad Cochran Escapes Bitter Tea Party in Mississippi
Like Lazarus, Thad Cochran rose from the dead on Tuesday in Mississippi.
In a Republican primary runoff where turnout surged compared to that in the first round of voting, Cochran escaped with a narrow 51-49 percent win over Tea Party challenger Chris McDaniel. Boosted by high Democratic turnout, particularly among African Americans in Jackson and the Mississippi Delta, the six-term U.S. senator pulled out a surprise victory after finishing behind the two-term state senator in the initial primary on June 3. But with McDaniel threatening litigation, this political saga may not be over yet.
The campaign between Cochran and McDaniel had became a key litmus test for the battle between the GOP establishment and the Tea Party as outside groups and celebrities flocked to the campaign in recent weeks. Cochran boasted the support of Senator John McCain, the Chamber of Commerce and NFL great Brett Favre, while McDaniel was backed by former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the Club for Growth, and television host Chuck Woolery. The race focused on Cochran's long record in Washington working to deliver federal money to the Magnolia State and what was perceived as a tendency toward moderation and compromise. While Cochran bragged about his accomplishments as the top Republican on the Senate Appropriations Committee, McDaniel attacked him as an example of all that was wrong with Washington and pork-barrel spending.
On election night, McDaniel took to the stage after being introduced as "the Republican nominee for Senate." The Tea Partier then raged against "a Republican primary decided by liberal Democrats" and essentially accused Cochran of "abandoning the conservative movement." McDaniel claimed that "there were literally dozens of irregularities reported all across the state" and hinted at litigation, saying, "Now it's our job to make sure that the sanctity of the vote is upheld, before this race ends we have to be absolutely certain that the Republican primary was won by Republican voters." Breitbart New, which has served as the house organ of the McDaniel campaign, is reporting that the Mississippi state senator is considering a legal challenge of the results.

Would You Pay $1,000 For a Graphics Card?
Posted on Chris Poindexter | NO COMMENTS
If you don't think $1,000 is too much to have the most powerful graphics card on the market, one suitable to drive a gaming supercomputer, then NVIDIA has a deal for you in the form of the GeForce GTX Titan.
The specs are truly mind-boggling in scope; over 7 billion transistors and 2,668 GPU cores delivering 4.5 Teraflops of single precision and 1.3 Teraflops of double precision processing power. A graphics card that's nearly as powerful than any of the military research systems I worked on several years ago.
One expects a certain amount of hyperbole from company execs but this time they have grounds for bragging. "GeForce GTX TITAN is a beast of a GPU — and the only one in the world powerful enough to play any game at any resolution at any time," said Scott Herkelman, general manager of the GeForce business unit at NVIDIA.
The card is expected to be available next week, so save room in that new $10,000 gaming machine you're building and make sure you have at least $999 in your bank account.

If Daniel Turpen ever makes it to the majors, it will have to be considered an unconventional, winding, but well-earned path. Turpen, now pitching out of the bullpen at AA New Britain, is already playing with his fifth organization. In this case it's a positive: twice teams have traded him straight-up for a major league player.
Born: 8/17/86 Throws: R Bats: R Ht: 6'4" Wt: 245
The burly reliever was born in August 1986 in McMinnville, Oregon, just southwest of Portland. He went on to pitch for the McMinnville High School and wound up an Oregon State Beaver where he was part of the back-to-back national championship squad, certainly giving him some extra recognition.
In the 2007 draft, Turpen was selected in the eighth round by the Giants. In the midst of their World Series run in 2010, San Francisco dealt Turpen to the Red Sox for reliver Ramon Ramirez. Boston then left Turpen unprotected in the Rule V draft where the Yankees swooped in and selected him. Given a chance to compete for a major-league roster spot with the Yankees, Turpen turned in a mediocre Spring Training performance and was returned to Boston. His stay was brief as he was almost immediately traded to the Rockies for catcher Michael McKenry.
After seeing success with Colorado's AA affiliate, Tulsa, in 2011, Turpen offered the following statement, according to Oregonlive.com: "I'm happy where I am now." Hopefully he wasn't too happy in Tulsa, because he was right back on the move after the season, when the Twins received Turpen as the Player-to-Be-Named-Later in the Kevin Slowey deal.
What do the Twins, Rockies, Red Sox, Yankees, and Giants all see in the right-hander? Turpen describes himself as a gamer who "gets after hitters" and "doesn't need to throw the perfect pitch." He relies on keeping the ball down to induce grounders.
Judging by over 300 innings in the minors, the stat that jumps to me is the low home run rate. The BB/K ratio seems a little on the high side, but so far in 2012 he has yet to walk a batter while fanning nine.
He has earned the win in each of his two most recent appearances, going two innings in each. He has also been entrusted to finish games this season, earning a save April 14 @ New Hampshire.

What is your target machine? The system you're attacking has to be vulnerable.
hello guys,
the commissioning of exploits through msfconsole with autopwn (importing nmap or nessus), is really working?
I never created any session.
Assuming I did everything correctly.
Could someone give me some advice?

What is your target machine? The system you're attacking has to be vulnerable.
This tutorial is also made in Italy (thanks to brigante!!!)
Perhaps this offensive security made course will help you with a better understanding of how to use the framework for pentesting:
Saviour Emmauel Ekiko
someone of you succeeded in creating a session with metasploit and autopwn (importing xml from nmap, or the vulnerabilities from nessus)???
Maybe I'll make a video ...
thanks for the replies!
try the attack against something that you know is vulnerable like metasploitable
for example???
I find the vulnerabilities like metasploitable with nessus...??
Last edited by trisogono; 06-12-2011 at 01:28 PM.
for example: download metasploitable and run db_autopwn against it
Before I did not understand what is metasploitable...
I'll try!!
Metasploit is a framework, meaning: something to make exploits and payloads easier.
It contains different functions, where autopwn is one of many.
an analogy for autopwn could be, shooting with a shotgun; simply blasting everything at once.
In order for this to work, the target need to have some vulnerable software running.
If the target isn't vulnerable, all the exploit launched by autopwn will be useless.
autopwn is great for proof of concept, but isn't that effective in real situations..
How ever, there's a customized "linux-distro" called metasploitable. It's made with one purpose only: To train the use of metasploit framework.
That means, that it has been customized with software vulnerable for "standard attacks" with metasploit.
There's a lot of exploitable systems, with the purpose of pratice, and the great G0tmi1k actually made quite a nice list:
I hope this cleared the understanding of metasploit and vulnerable systems a little..

In 1879, two brothers decided to set up a business in the recently flourishing trade of the wine business. C.V.N.E., Compañía Vinicola del Norte de España (The Northern Spanish Wine Company) or la Cuné, as it is commonly known in Haro, was created. This cellar still reflects the origins of the company and is kept in the traditional neighborhood of the Haro station.
The Cune winery in Haro, is made up of a group of buildings, mostly from the 19th century and arranged around a courtyard surrounded by pavilions for the purpose of wine production, aging, and bottling.

Controvertial poem pulled from Dutch memorial (JERUSALEM POST) By CNAAN LIPHSHIZ, JPOST CORRESPONDENT 04/30/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/JewishWorld/JewishNews/Article.aspx?id=267932
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
THE HAGUE - The national commemoration committee of the Netherlands scrapped a controversial poem about Nazis from its program for its annual ceremony this week
The poem was seen to suggest Nazis deserved to be commemorated along with their victims
The homage to Dutch Nazis who died in WWII was to be paid in a poem written by the 15-year-old relative of a Dutch SS soldier who died in Germany´s eastern front. The Nationaal Comite 4 en 5 Mei planned to have the song read aloud on May 4 in Amsterdam at the main official commemoration ceremony
However, following a public outcry over the weekend, the committee announced it would scrap the text
"The national memorial day is too important to be overshadowed by the discussion the poem caused", the committee said in a press release "Commemorating the perpetrators was never the committee´s intention The committee regrets that the boy´s poem was used in a ping-pong exchange between grownups."
The boy´s poem, "Wrong Choice", speak of his great uncle, who "sought to escape poverty and dreamed of a better life," but "chose the wrong army and wrong ideology." He "needs to be remembered too" on May 4, Dutch memorial day, the poem states
The main Dutch memorial ceremony is held at the Dam Square and is attended by the Dutch army´s top brass, war veterans and the Queen of the Netherlands
Representatives of the Dutch Jewish community said they would not attend the ceremony if the poem is read
"It is wholly inappropriate to compare the consequences of a wrong choice with the death of partisans, Jews and other victims of the Nazi regime," said Ronny Naftaniel, director of the Center for Information and Documentation on Israel. "According to the same logic, Adolf Eichmann could also be commemorated as victim one day."
In a letter addressed to the committee, Naftaniel called the poem´s inclusion in the program "an insult to all the real victims."
Nine Nooter, director of the Comite 4 Mei, said the poem should not be interpreted as a plea to commemorate Nazi Dutchmen. She added that the fallen SS solder had four brothers who fought in the war as partisans against the Nazis
"It´s a poem about the right and wrong choices taken inside one family," she said. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 04/30/12)

twins 10
twins 10
"My whole life is an epic journey man, I mean who else do you know that listens to Enya whilst taking a dump?"
thai ones are expensive because they last forever, i like the sandee ones
back on track: i have these ones
in white, with red dragon.
"My whole life is an epic journey man, I mean who else do you know that listens to Enya whilst taking a dump?"
i got the red twins spider gloves but cant find the shin pads to go with them.
This is the pair i got and you can get them with other Top King stuff here http://www.fightstuff.uk.com/
I love hitting people, its one of my favourite past times!!!
First had some of the white cheapo pull on jobs. Lasted me ages and made my shins pretty tough since they are so thin. Used Sandee after that and had the problem of them digging in at my ankle. Tried blitz because they were cheap. Weren't bad in terms of quality but were a bad fit for me as i've got really long skinny shins/calfs. Just got a pair of Hayabusa as only used the others for Muay Thai. The Hayabusa are by far the best. Comfy, good fit, good ventilation, really light and good protection.
I swayed about whether to spend the extra on Hayabusa for ages and decided at the end of the day it was only about £10 difference. I know if I hadn't spent that little bit extra I would be always wishing I had.
The thai stuff lasts forever so go with one of those brands
yeah thai ones do last forever as everyone has stated but there not that great if your competing in amatuer i.e no head shot comps?

Gonzaga is used to being the favorite. Gone are the days of the Bulldogs being the plucky mid-major hoping to slay a few giants.
This is a good thing, according to Mark Few.
There was no surprise when the Bulldogs were picked as the top seed in the West Region of the NCAA Tournament. There are no feelings on that seeding, either way. Gonzaga will go out on the EnergySolutions Arena floor come Thursday afternoon and play against Southern just like it has in its other 30-plus games this season.
"We've been the favorite in pretty much every game this year," Mark Few says. "Nothing will change."
The outside world has questioned the Bulldogs since Selection Sunday, picked over their résumé with a fine-tooth comb and wondered if Gonzaga is really one of the top four teams in the country. At the same time, a difficult road through Salt Lake City presents itself in the form of Wichita State and Pitt, two hulking, physical teams with the players capable of making life difficult for the Bulldogs.
It hasn't fazed Gonzaga one bit.
This is a mid-major team in name and conference only. It's been well over a decade since the Bulldogs first jumped onto the national scene, advancing to the Elite Eight with Matt Santangelo as its point guard and pushing UConn to the brink with the Final Four at stake.
Since then, the Bulldogs have transformed from media darling into genuine powerhouse. This season has seen Few's program reach an apex. Gonzaga is now a team expected to make a deep run into the Big Dance.
"I don't see this as a great weight on our shoulders or anything," power forward Elias Harris said. "I see this as a great honor. We were lucky enough to get the one seed, and we're going to make the best of it. We're going to play team basketball and show that we're worthy of it."
Of course, the Bulldogs have been openly questioned. More than a few observers thought a team like Duke, Miami or even Ohio State should've taken the top spot in the region. Analysts pointed to a lack of quality wins as reason why the Bulldogs should've slid down to a two seed, a product of playing in the West Coast Conference.
In fact, the last top seed to find itself so openly questioned was the St. Joseph's team in 2004. That squad led by future NBA players Jameer Nelson and Delonte West advanced to the Elite Eight before falling to Tony Allen, John Lucas III and Oklahoma State.
At the same time, none of the Gonzaga players interviewed for this story were even aware of Phil Martelli and the Hawks. Harris, Kelly Olynyk and Kevin Pangos said they weren't well-versed in past NCAA Tournament lore.
Perhaps that's a good thing. The players looked loose on Wednesday in press conferences and in the shootaround, like a team that isn't worried about the challenges that await in the next few days.
Or the pressure.
"We feel like we're ready to prove ourselves," Pangos said. "We believe in our team and our abilities. We're confident going into this tournament."

Browning's words are so true. I grew up listening to a joke involving a Volkswagen. The punch line was that Volkswagen's boot was at the front of the car. In my grown up years, I haven't owned a real Beetle but I bought my sister a toy Barbie one when she was 9. We still have it and every time my nephew comes over, he has to play with it! In the year that went by, gen next Hindi film heroines, namely Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone identified the Beetle as the car for their on-screen characters. You remember the blog I wrote? I haven't managed to test drive it yet but may be there's a sign.

CAMPAIGNERS are calling for increased awareness of plans to relocate an elderly peoples' mental health unit from Trafford General to a hospital in Little Hulton.
If proposals go ahead, the 21 mental health beds dedicated to elderly people currently available in Trafford General Hospital will be moved to Woodlands Hospital, around 10 miles away.
But Cllr Jo Harding, who is also campaign co-ordinator for the Save Trafford General group, said the biggest problem is that no one seems to be aware that consultation has begun.
Cllr Harding said: "The fact is that the community services are just not adequate to meet need at the moment and we are facing yet more cuts to adult social care budgets.
"Worryingly, Trafford people don't even know about this consultation.
"These cuts will impact on an extremely vulnerable client group and I cannot support them.
"I have extended an invitation to the trust to attend a public meeting on Friday, February 21, 6pm-7pm at Urmston Library."
A spokesman for Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Our understanding is that the NHS Trafford Clinical Commissioning Group is in urgent discussions with the local authority regarding the progress of the consultation.
"Engagement with the public is extremely important to us, however we must await the outcome of the aforementioned discussions before proceeding further."
Martin Finnigan, lead singer of prominent Urmston group, The Rainband, is backing the campaign which is particularly close to his heart as his mother, Kath Finnegan, was treated in the unit.
Kath, 71, who now has advanced dementia, stayed in the unit for nine weeks around two years ago while her condition was investigated and Martin said having her so close was invaluable.
"Anyone who knows dementia will tell you how difficult travelling is, my mum lives in a care facility in Sale now and the five minute journey taking her from hers to my house at Christmas was very difficult," said Martin.
"A 45 minute journey from Urmston to the other side of north Manchester is just not feasible."
The consultation document can be found at gmw.nhs.uk/news/home-consultation-document-600.

Israel: 3 Kidnapped Teens Found Dead
(NEWSER) – The three Israeli teenage boys missing since earlier this month have been found dead, according to the army and Israeli press reports, and CNN reports that PM Benjamin Netanyahu is swiftly responding by calling an emergency cabinet meeting. The bodies were found in a pit, reports the BBC, near the West Bank town where they went missing late June 12 or early June 13. Israel has blamed Hamas for the abductions, and initiated a massive crackdown in their aftermath. One of the teens was a US citizen.

OtosclerosisOtospongiosis; Stapedectomy
Otosclerosis is an abnormal bone growth in the middle ear that causes hearing loss.
The cause of otosclerosis is unknown. However, there is some evidence that it may be passed down through families.
People who have otosclerosis have an abnormal sponge-like bone growing in the middle ear. This growth prevents the ear bones from vibrating in response to sound waves. Such vibrations are needed in order for you to hear.
Otosclerosis is the most common cause of middle ear hearing loss in young adults. It typically begins in early to mid-adulthood. It is more common in women than in men. The condition may affect one or both ears.
Risks for this condition include pregnancy and a family history of hearing loss. Caucasians are more likely to develop this condition than people of other races.
- Hearing loss (slow at first, but gets worse over time)
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Vertigo or dizziness
Exams and Tests
A hearing test (audiometry /audiology) may help determine the severity of hearing loss.
A special imaging test of the head called a temporal-bone CT may be used to look for other causes of hearing loss.
Otosclerosis may slowly get worse. The condition may not need to be treated until you havesignificant hearing problems.
Medications such as fluoride, calcium, or vitamin D may help to slow the hearing loss, but the benefits have not yet been proved.
A hearing aid may be used to treat the hearing loss. This will not cure or prevent hearing loss from getting worse, but it may help relieve some of the symptoms.
Surgery to remove part of the ear (stapes) and replace it with a prosthesis can cure conductive hearing loss. A total replacement is called a stapedectomy. Sometimes only part of the stapes is removed and a small hole is made in the bottom of it. This is called a stapedotomy. Sometimes a laser is used to help with the surgery.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Otosclerosis gets worse without treatment. Surgery may restore at least some of your hearing. Pain and dizziness from the surgery usually go away within a few weeks.
To reduce the risk of complications after surgery:
- Do not blow your nose for 2 -3 weeks after surgery.
- Avoid people with respiratory or other infections.
- Avoid bending, lifting, or straining, which may cause dizziness.
- Avoid loud noises or sudden pressure changes, such as scuba diving, flying, or driving in the mountains until you have healed.
If surgery does not work, you may have total hearing loss. Treatment then involves developing skills to cope with deafness, and using hearing aidsto transmit sounds from the non-hearing earto the good ear.
Possible Complications
- Complete deafness
- Funny taste in the mouth
- Infection, dizziness, pain, or a blood clot in the ear after surgery
- Nerve damage
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You havehearing loss
- You develop fever, ear pain, dizziness, or other symptoms after surgery

ArmzRace is one of the many exhibitors at this year's Zine Fest Houston. Below is an interview with Cej.
How long have you been making comics?
Unofficially, I've been creating comics off and on most of my life. Officially, ArmzRace began in 1998 when Mark! and I decided that we wanted to get serious about making comics. We realized that the only way to get anything done was to set some (realistic) goals and then make each other stick to them. Since then, we have prodded each other along, sharing critiques and information about new techniques, and hopefully we have become better as creators and produced some great comics. Over the years, other creators, like Hardtraveling Hero have joined in the ArmzRace merriment.
Why do you create comics? Why do you like comics?
I've been reading comics for as long as I can remember. They are a wonderful medium for expressing the whole range of human emotions and ideas. They are relatively low-cost to create, but they have tremendous scope, really only limited by the creator's imagination. And while there are some "good practices," there are no hard and fast rules on how they must be done. Sometimes I feel stymied because my artwork isn't as good as I'd like it to be, but then I remember that there have been some great comics that only had stick people. That encourages me to keep creating.
What is something you're looking forward to about the 2011 zine fest Houston?
Comic creation tends to be a fairly individual endeavor, so I'm hoping to meet other like-minded creators. It's always great to see what other people are working on, because it helps inspire me in my own work. Public feedback is always good for personal development, but it means even more when it comes from people who have been in the trenches. Additionally, I'd love to meet other people who'd like to join the ArmzRace and create comics alongside me.
What will be on your table at this year's zine fest?
ArmzRace will have about a half dozen mini-comics from Cej, Mark!, and the Hardtraveling Hero. They range from short fiction to autobiography to gag comics. I'm hoping to finish my fourth mini prior to the Fest (somehow May 21 snuck up on me!). It will be a book of political comics and commentary called Cannon Fodder.
Any parting thoughts?
I want to encourage people to come out to Zine Fest and support the arts scene in Houston. Likewise, I invite everyone to take a look at http://ArmzRace.com I enjoy getting people's feedback, and I'd love to have other creative types join the Race!

Ignoring ABC statement, Kudlow alleges ABC will devote programming to "help sell" Obama's health care plan
Research ››› ››› DIANNA PARKER
CNBC's Larry Kudlow claimed that "ABC is going to give up all their programming" to President Obama "to help sell health care reform," but ABC says it will "giv[e] voice to questions and criticisms" of Obama's plan.
On the June 16 edition of CNBC's The Kudlow Report, host Larry Kudlow claimed that "ABC is going to give up all their programming" to President Obama "to help sell health care reform," and later asserted: "This is so troublesome. June 24, the whole night, programming on ABC is going to be given over to Obama, and it's going to be in favor of Obama's health care plan. ... The media is too easy on him." Kudlow did not acknowledge that ABC News disputes this charge. In a letter posted on ABCNews.com earlier on June 16, ABC News senior vice president Kerry Smith responded to the Republican National Committee's criticism of ABC's planned broadcast, writing that ABC will give "voice to questions and criticisms" of Obama's plan and that "ABC News is looking for the most thoughtful and diverse voices on this issue."
From Smith's June 16 letter:
ABC News announced plans to broadcast a primetime hour from the White House devoted to exploring and probing the President's position and giving voice to questions and criticisms of that position. We hope that any American concerned about health care will find our efforts to be informative, fair and civil.
Second, ABC News prides itself on covering all sides of important issues and asking direct questions of all newsmakers -- of all political persuasions -- even when others have taken a more partisan approach and even in the face of criticism from extremes on both ends of the political spectrum. ABC News is looking for the most thoughtful and diverse voices on this issue. ABC News alone will select those who will be in the audience asking questions of the president. Like any programs we broadcast, ABC News will have complete editorial control. To suggest otherwise is quite unfair to both our journalists and our audience.
Third, there already has been extensive coverage of the upcoming health care debates, on ABC and elsewhere, and there will be much, much more. Indeed, we've already had many critics of the President's health care proposals on the air - and that's before a real plan has even been put before the country.
In the end, no one watching, listening to, or reading ABC News will lack for an understanding of all sides of these important questions.
Smith's statement was in response to a letter RNC chief of staff Ken McKay reportedly sent to ABC News president David Westin, asserting that "the Republican National Committee requested an opportunity to add our Party's views to those of the President's to ensure that all sides of the health care reform debate are presented. Our request was rejected. ... In the absence of opposition, I am concerned this event will become a glorified infomercial to promote the Democrat agenda."
From the June 16 edition of CNBC's The Kudlow Report:
KUDLOW: We're also going to hear a little bit about the kind of media Mr. Obama is getting. He lashes out at Fox, but he fails to mention that ABC is going to give up all their programming to help sell health care reform with no Republican rebuttal. I find that rather interesting and somewhat unbelievable.
KUDLOW: John, I just want to say something. I thought you asked some really great questions in this interview, including that last one, and I'm going to back-step to the risk reward one in a minute. But, look, John, one of the things that disturbed me.
OK, Obama dodges your question by attacking Fox. OK, fine. But he doesn't mention ABC. This is so troublesome. June 24, the whole night, programming on ABC is going to be given over to Obama, and it's going to be in favor of Obama's health care plan. And the Republican National Committee has asked for equal time. They've been rejected. Groups opposed to Obama's health care plan have asked for equal time and have been rejected. I think you're right. The media is too easy on him, John.
JOHN HARWOOD (CNBC chief Washington correspondent): Well, look, this is a discussion that's going to go on. And one of the questions is, is the president simply more skillful than past presidents in using the access that the White House can provide to get the kind of coverage he wants, or is it a press problem? And, you know, it could be a little bit of both; it could be neither.

This is so awesome! I love doing videos at home but I am the same way get so bored and then find myself making excuses. I've done all of the Jillian Michaels ones but I can't wait to try the others.
Thank you soooo much for this.
Thank you for this great selection!
You should check out Tone It Up workouts!!!
That's a lovely collection…
This list looks great! I love Youtube workouts!
I have one of the most awesome 80's collections that I picked up cheap on Amazon…the old style leotards are fabulous!
I also hate repeating the same workouts – this is an awesome roundup Im bookmarking this. Ive done all the Jillian ones but Kickboxing is my favorite workout – definitely trying these!
Holy camoly!!
Nice! Just created a new playlist for myself on YouTube. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this! i've been debating signing up for Gaiam TV online because they have a massive amount of workout videos, and i also struggle with same-video boredom. I'll be trying some of these later when i get the kids to pick up their toys. 😉
Love this post! I am a gym class junkie-when I do workout at home my kids like to do it with me. Enough said for why I prefer the gym:) I have also done the Jillians ones, and man she is amazing. She takes working out to a whole new level. Plus the 30 day shred is so fast! Anybody can work out for 20 minutes!
I love using Fitness Blender on Youtube.
I am still looking for an Old Woman's workout. I am 63; in purty good shape, but I do have some arthritis in knees and I would have to start out with something not quite so FAT BURNING that would last me for 15 seconds! lol! I would like to join Curves, but the family banker hasn't agreed to that idea yet!
Hi Little Towhee
Please don't let trainers like the one that you give us all a bad rep. I would rebook another appointment with a different trainer or talk to the co-ordinator about exactly what you want and they will set you up with a trainer to match your style. I am a trainer, but really take the time to sit down with my clients- define their goals, consider their experience level in a gym, identify any obsticals they my have and help to if possible to find a solution to overcome them. For people not comfortable in a gym environment- I prefer to help make them comfortable by only prescribing a couple of exercises to start and not only show them how to do the exercise, but explain the functionality of that particular exercise, show them the muscles that they should be feeling when they perform the exercise and focus on proper form when doing the exercise. Less is more- especially when starting out. My goal is to take that intimidation factor out of joining a gym.
Thanks for the list! You should also check out Cassie Ho of Pop Pilates on You Tube. Tons of videos targeting every body part, plus she's fun to follow with all of her energy.

Awesome list! I have been searching for YouTube workouts, so this is perfect! Thanks so much 🙂
This list is so amazingly helpful. Thank you!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting these! I made a playlist too! I never thought about doing exercise videos from youtube!! duh..
Encouraging info about your mom! I'm almost the same age, and I want to be like her! 🙂 Doing a daily exercise video, and able to do the split both ways! haha. I can almost do it the easier way. thx again for the links.
What a fabulous list!!! I love doing You Tube exercise videos, and I've actually done some of these on your list in the past. The Zumba ones are my favorite. You don't even feel like you're exercising, just dancing! My new obsession is "Just Dance 4" on the Wii. It makes me feel like I'm in middle school again, practicing dance routines. And, it works up a great sweat. So much fun.
This is awesome!
I have never ever been able to get into working out at home. Who am I kidding, I can even get into working out "out" of the home. When my son was 9 months old, I joined a gym for the first time in my life and loved it but stopped going after about 2 years due to a location change. I've been considering going back but just never get there to sign up. Funny how that works huh? This looks like a great list and it makes me want that flat stomach again! ha 🙂
I just did the Zumba Dance Class. My first time ever doing Zumba… and I LOVED it! Thanks for making this post. I probably never would have tried it otherwise!
I am so excited about this great roundup I wanted to let you know that I featured this today in my "What I Bookmarked This Week" post – stop by and see.
Oh I have to know more about your mother! I'm 36 but my goal is to get my splits this year. I've had 6 babies too and knowing that your mother has achieved a fit body and her splits at 50 just makes me do a happy dance–like if she can do it I can too.
I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your website. It seems like some of the text within your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a problem with my web browser because I've had this happen previously.
Hello there just happened upon your blog via
Google after I typed in, "25 of the Best You Tube Workout Videos
Are there supposed to be links to all the videos? Maybe it's because I'm on my kindle but I've got no way to get to the videos!
Fantastic goods from you, man. I've understand your stuff previous to and you are just extremely magnificent.
I really like what you have acquired here, really like what you're saying and
the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to
keep it wise. I can not wait to read much more from you.
I saw this post a few months ago and all of the links were working. I wanted to come back and do the Beginning Zumba workout, but the link is not working. I searched youtube, but a bunch of beginner videos came up. I was wondering if you could tell me which one you used and liked. Thanks.
Hey there!
Thanks for the list. I try to get in a workout youtube video everyday… sometimes I fail. But at least 6 days a week I'm doing a video. My all time favorite is Tiffany Rothe workouts. She is fabulous to follow, with tons of energy and is so encourage. Plus she's easy to follow and doesn't make me feel completely uncoordinated ( ; Check her on youtube here. Her 'boxer babe' is one of my favorites and her mountain climber video will make you feel every muscle in your body by the end of it!
Can you please fix these links?? I was looking forward to this post!
Do you have links to any of these workouts? How do I find them on youtube?
Check out the new ones on youtube.com/ifitlive. They offer a new workout every day. I haven't gotten bored yet because I am always getting something new.

James Nares, Street
Nares's mesmerizing video comprises a deceptively simple succession of pans along Manhattan streets and avenues. Shot from a moving car with a high-speed camera, Nares projects the footage in slo-mo, giving it a sense of the uncanny. People caught in the act of (literally) pedestrian movements appear frozen, almost stationary, and their arrested motion in front of more rapidly passing backgrounds recalls the 3-D effects of 19th-century stereographs. Street combines the qualities of still photography and moving images, making us pay exacting attention to things we normally overlook: a passerby's feet hitting the ground just so, fleeting expressions drifting across strangers' faces, urbanites interacting without interacting. Street looks at humanity, represented by the denizens of New York, in all the glory of its unattractiveness and beauty. It is a Whitmanesque masterpiece.
Accompanied by two galleries of art chosen by Nares from the Met's collections—ranging from street photography to fragments of ancient Egyptian and Roman sculptures—Street owes something to Bill Viola's portentous vivifications of Old Master paintings and even more to Neil Goldberg's loving examinations of the gravity of the everyday. A longtime New Yorker, Nares is better known as a painter of sinuously liquid abstractions that emphasize the trace of his brush (those works can be seen at the Paul Kasmin Gallery until June 15). Like his canvases, Street records the poetry of the passage of time.—Joseph R. Wolin

Has anyone ever had one?
Is it really this good?
http://www.aneros.com/malegspot.phpWe've had customers tell us that in the midst of these "Super-Orgasms" their beds shake uncontrollably, they lose all sense of time, and make "fierce" animal noises. They have told us these orgasms are so beautiful that they cried with joy, and as a result even have become better husbands to their wives, that their lives were changed forever. These orgasms are entirely different level than a traditional penile orgasm, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Fordham University's new Urban Law Center hones in on city issuesProfessor Nestor Davidson, Joanna Zdanys '13, and the Urban Law Center in The New York Post, February 27, 2013
Within the hustle and bustle of everyday city life, pressing legal issues innate to urban environments are not lost, thanks to those whomake it to their life's work.
Fordham University is ensuring that this focus of study flourishes with its launch last fall of the Urban Law Center, housed in the university's School of Law.
"We are and have been a distinctly uraban nation," says Fordham law professor Nestor Davidson, who also serves as director of the new center. "Our metro areas are surrounded by pressing questions involving economic growth, gun violence, land use and affordable housing.
"In cities where these challenges are playing out, creative solutions are being found by local governments. There are lawyers involved in all of these issues, so it made sense to have an academic center in a law school focusing on this intersection between urbanism and the law.
"We are hoping to bring together policymakers and legal scholars to advance scholarly conversation as well as broaden public conversation," adds Davidson.
While law school students will predominantly take advantage of the new center, "it's important to us to have a very interdisciplinary system. Many of our students enrolled in Fordham's Urban Studies master's program, for example, will be excited to take part as well. We invite their perspectives on the role of law and legal institution in
governance, and the impact policies have on the quality of life in today's cities," says Davidson.
To enhance student understanding of such legal issues, the new center will also arrange externships (experiencing real-life work) enabling students to work with organizations involved in both the public and private sectors throughout New York City.
Clinics will also be hosted on a variety of issues, including public finance, education, immigration, technology regulation and privacy according to Davidson.
With aspirations of going into litigation, Fordham law students and editor-in-chief of The Fordham Urban Law Journal Joanna Zdanys fully supports the launch of the Urban Law Center.
"It's important to have an understanding of life in the city that you practice in. Sometimes as a law student, there is a gap between what you learn in classroom and real legal practice. The center will help bridge that gap," says Zdanys.
In addition, "The Urban Law Center provides a platform for alumni to return and participate in discussions on land use and sustainability, public health initiatives, campaign finance at the local level, criminal and corporate law, and other important issues," says Zdanys.

I'd never take a guy off short until he forced me to. That said, I just had a very sad thought of who Hamilton reminds me of -- Tony Womack.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Cozart is 26. His game is mature. He is not going to fall off a cliff.Little early on that one given that Hamilton is still 2 years away. Guys have started out hotter and fallen quickly than Cozart who were much more highly touted. Not that I expect it to happen, but Cozart has what, 100 at bats in his MLB career?
The best argument for keeping Hamilton and Didi at SS is build trade value. It could very well be the best way to go.
However, SS is not a position of need -- it's the opposite. CF, on the other hand, is looking weaker by the day. Lotta toolsy players who, with the exception of Phipps, have never shown a level of performance that matches the tools. Hamilton would instantly become the top prospect at the spot with no apparent roadblocks, IMO.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
I think Tony Womack is the absolute floor when it comes to comps for Billy Hamilton. We can only pray that if all goes right he turns into Rickey Henderson...
This being said, I don't think Billy can ever be Rickey, but I certainly think there is a greater than 70% chance that he has a better major league career than Tony Womack.
I agree with some of the others that I'd wait to move him off SS until next year or this offseason at the earliest. That gives us this year to figure out:
Whether Cozart is the long-term answer at SS
Whether Stubbs is the long-term answer at CF
Whether LaMarre has a big league future
...and let's Hamilton hopefully continue to rake this year while not worrying about how to learn a new position.
Assuming Cozart continues to impress, and LaMarre doesn't find any power to speak of, I'd probably move Hamilton to CF in Pensacola next year (or this offseason).
He could be the next Michael Bourn, or Juan Pierre with a better OBP.

Go BLUE!!!
This seems like a really tough call. I think Hamilton could make an incredible center fielder (I keep hearkening back to that catch he made last year near the left-field warning track, from shortstop) and would love to see a replacement for Stubbs in the pipeline.
On the other hand, I can understand not moving a top prospect from shortstop as long as he shows the potential to play the position. The way I see it, he is now a consideration at two positions: SS and CF (actually three, counting second base). But if you move him to CF, I think SS gets eliminated from the equation. It seems unlikely that a player would be returned to SS from CF.
I guess I'd rather hold on to the highest possible number of options. Which means he sticks at SS until things clear up.
That said, I think he should be getting some preliminary work in CF. But that's also complicated, because he's still learning to hit and switch-hit, and you don't want to distract him too much.
All in all, a delicate situation.
If he's still in the organization come Spring Training, and the other conditions apply (Cozart looks good, Stubbs/LaMarre do not), I'd probably consider switching him to CF.

I just wanted to provide what I believe could be Billy's ceiling if he adds some power to his game.
I just think that Billy Hamilton can have a much better career than Tony Womack did. Billy is a world-class athlete. Even if he fully developed, it would be very difficult for Billy to have a Rickey Henderson-like career.

Are you wondering whether BackTrack will work with your chosen device or laptop?
The first place to look is in the Hardware Compatibility List. Check for your device in the forum, and read the relevant information to see any caveats about the support for your device (if any). You can also check the archives for information on devices supported under BackTrack 4 Beta and BackTrack 4 Prefinal, theres a good chance that anything supported under those older BackTrack 4 releases will also be supported under BackTrack 4 Final.
For wireless devices you should first check the Wireless Drivers page on the wiki here. Then there is a thread here that you can check out, as well as the forums above. Some recommended wireless devices are also listed in a thread here.
If there is no information about your specific device here on the forums you can also search the Internet for general Linux support information about the device in question. For laptops, you will sometimes be able to find the names of specific hardware devices included with the laptop, which will allow you to research those specific devices to see if they are supported under Linux. In most cases, hardware that is generally supported in Linux will also be supported by BackTrack, with the exception of some devices that are only supported in later versions of the Linux kernel than the version that is installed with BackTrack.
If you can't find any specific information on the Internet about the device you are interested in, it may not be supported under Linux at all. The last thing you can try is to actually try the device out with BackTrack and test for yourself to see if it works. If it does, make a post about it on the Hardware Compatibility List, and let us know what features work, as well as any special configuration steps you may have used to get it working. Even if the device doesn't work, or only works partially, make a post about it anyway and give details, that way other people will know that device does not work with BackTrack.
I really want to encourage people to share information in this way - we require the support of the community to build the list of supported devices so people can know which machines and devices they can use BackTrack with.
What you shouldn't do is to post a question asking whether a particular device will work. If the methods above don't work in allowing you to find out whether your device is supported or not, and the device is not on the Hardware Compatibility List, chances are that no one who reads your thread will know whether the device works under BackTrack either. Don't count on a BackTrack user who happens to own that device coming across your post and responding within a reasonable time frame....

Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
