Scientific task force to examine usefulness of testosterone replacement therapy in older men
A multi-disciplinary task force, led by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), will evaluate the pros and cons of conducting clinical trials of testosterone replacement therapy in older men. The year-long task force, announced today by the NIA and IOM, will make recommendations regarding the design, safety, and ethics of clinical trials of this intervention, including whether such studies are even warranted.
The task force was conceived, in part, because of growing concerns about an increase in the number of older men apparently using testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in the absence of adequate scientific information about its risks and benefits, said NIA Director Richard Hodes, M.D.
"In forming this partnership with the IOM, the NIA is moving forward in two directions: One, to determine the extent and nature of the risks and benefits, and two, to explore the scientific and ethical questions that must be asked before any clinical trials of this intervention can be safely and prudently conducted," Dr. Hodes said.
The task force, which will consist of prominent scientists specializing in epidemiology, endocrinology, urology, oncology and other relevant fields, will review and assess the current state of knowledge concerning testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and prepare an evidence-based report outlining the benefits and adverse effects of this intervention, the potential public health impact of TRT in the United States, and the ethical issues involved in the conduct of a clinical trial of TRT. The committee will conduct four meetings and one workshop in the next 12 months.
"Although some older men who have tried these supplements report feeling `more energetic' or `younger,' testosterone supplementation remains a scientifically unproven method for preventing or relieving any physical and psychological changes that men with normal testosterone levels may experience, as they get older. Until more scientifically rigorous studies are conducted, the question of whether the benefits of testosterone replacement outweigh any of its potential negative effects will remain unanswered. This task force will help us address the huge challenge we face in designing clinical trials that safely and ethically explore this question," said Stanley Slater, M.D., deputy director of the NIA's Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology Program.
Testosterone is a vital sex hormone that plays an important role in puberty. But contrary to what some people believe, testosterone isn't exclusively a male hormone, Dr. Slater said. Women produce small amounts of it in their bodies as well. In men, testosterone is produced in the testes, the reproductive glands that also produce sperm.
As men age, their testes often produce somewhat less testosterone than they did during adolescence and early adulthood, when production of this hormone peaks. But it is important to keep in mind that the range of normal laboratory values for testosterone production is vast. So while there are some declines in testosterone production with age, most older men stay well within normal limits, and the likelihood that a man will ever experience a major shut down of hormone production similar to a woman's menopause, is remote, according to Dr. Slater.
In fact, many of the changes that take place in older men often are incorrectly blamed on decreasing testosterone levels. Some men who have erectile difficulty (impotence), for instance, may be tempted to blame this problem on lowered testosterone. However, in the vast majority of cases, erectile difficulties are due to circulatory problems, not low testosterone.
Still, a small percentage of men may be helped by prescription testosterone supplements. These supplements often are prescribed to men whose bodies do not make enough of the hormone—for example, men whose pituitary glands have been destroyed by infections or tumors, or whose testes have been damaged. For these few men who have extreme testosterone deficiencies, supplements in the form of patches, injections, or topical gel may offer substantial benefit. Supplements may help a man with low testosterone levels maintain strong muscles and bones, and increase sex drive. However, what effects testosterone replacement may have in healthy older men without these extreme deficiencies will require more scrutiny, Dr. Slater said.
Many other questions remain about the use of this hormone in late life. It is unclear, for example, whether men who are at the lower end of the normal range of testosterone production would benefit from supplementation. Some investigators are also concerned about the long-term harmful effects that supplemental testosterone might have on the aging body. It is not yet known, for instance, if testosterone supplements increase the risk of prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death among men. In addition, studies suggest that supplementation might trigger excessive red blood cell production in some men. This side effect can thicken blood and increase a man's risk of stroke.
"The NIA is investigating the role of testosterone supplementation in delaying or preventing frailty," Dr. Slater said. "Results from preliminary studies involving small groups of men have been inconclusive, and it remains unclear if supplementation of this hormone can sharpen memory or help men maintain strong muscles, sturdy bones, and robust sexual function."
The NIA, a component of the National Institutes of Health, leads the federal effort in supporting and conducting basic and clinical research on aging and the special needs of older people. For information about the NIA, visit the website at http://www.nia.nih.gov/.

Topic: Mom
Hi all,
Just wanted to give you an update on Mom....
She has had one round of chemo. We went to see the radiologist and surgeon this week. The oncologist just wants to keep them in the loop of what is going on. The surgeon said that after she finishes chemo and they do another PET scan he plans on going in and removing the lymph nodes that are causing problems! The radiologist said that it is quite common for cc to come back in the lymph nodes, but that it is quite often taken care of completely with chemo. News seems to be good for now. Please keep her in your prayers. We will do the same for all of you .
Love to all,

I would like a list of the 1 hit wonder from this time.
Hi my name is Carla I have been looking for a gospel song for years since hearing it on Yolanda Adams' morning show, some of the lyrics, Wo Oh, I gotta get better, I wanna sue the world, It sound like a classic gospel gold song from either the 1960's maybe 1970's, I searched google nothing close =with who i thought maybe Clara Ward, Harmonettes, I searched many, still no answer. In the background sounds like a gospel choir of children, I am unsure if it is by a man or woman, I know no other lyrics, some one please help me find who sings this and a song title.
God bless you all.
To my ears, the best true one-hit (Top 40) wonder will always be Bullet with "White Lies, Blue Eyes." This track (available in true stereo from RHINO's Have a Nice Day / Hits of the 1970's series; can also be heard on YOUTUBE) is as wonderful as Badfinger's great pop-rock hits ("Baby Blue," "Day After Day," "No Matter What"), and also features a proto-Brian May/Queen guitar solo. For years there was misinformation (such as in the Whitburn chart books) that that this group was an offshoot of the UK progressive band Atomic Rooster (they did use the same name), but this has since been corrected by the (NY-based) band members themselves.

Daily Bagel: Tough love for Tomic
The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.
• Video: Every single one of Serena Williams' 248 winners on her way to the Wimbledon title.
• Tennis Australia is taking a stand against Bernard Tomic. The Age reports that Tomic has been banned from Australia's first-round Davis Cup tie; the federation will cut his funding; and at the Newcombe Awards, a gala honoring the year's top performers, his name didn't come up once despite the fact that he was Australia's No. 1 for most of 2012 (Marinko Matosevic now holds that distinction, at No. 49, three spots ahead of Tomic). The question is whether these sort of hard-line tactics will work. Hanging the 20-year-old out to dry could end up galvanizing him in the wrong direction.
• Tomic responded to the report by insisting he was never meant to play the Davis Cup tie and that he had planned to use the time for training. In the same interview, he said he would be the best to play the game. So who knows.
• Abusive parents aren't new to tennis, but that doesn't mean incidents are any less shocking or disappointing. There's a report from the Orange Bowl that a junior player was allegedly struck by her father with a racket after losing a match.
• A report on American junior Thai-Son Kwiatkowski, who has learned to channel his anger by listening to speeches from Rocky Balboa. Hey, whatever works.
• ESPN interviews Andy Murray, who weighs in on one of the big questions of our time -- Pacquiao or Mayweather?

Apple has released iOS 5.0.1, an update to its mobile OS that fixes a series of issues that drained the iPhone's battery.
iOS 5.0.1 is the first update to Apple's iOS 5, which brought the notifications tray, increased performance and iCloud to the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. In addition to fixing the iOS battery issue, 5.0.1. adds multitouch gestures to the original iPad, fixes iCloud bugs and improves voice recognition for Australian iPhone users. This is the first OS update available both via iTunes and over-the-air.
Not long after the release of the iPhone 4S, users began reporting that their phone's batteries were draining faster than before. This issue affected not just iPhone 4S users though, but anybody using iOS 5. Apple eventually figured out that there were bugs in iOS 5 that were causing the battery drain and enlisted developers to help them find the bug.
On November 2, Apple admitted that iOS 5 had battery performance issues and announced that the company would fix the problem with iOS 5.0.1. Apple has released several betas of the updated OS in the last week.
Mashable testing of the beta has shown that iOS 5.0.1 provides a noticeable improvement to the iPhone's battery life.

Have you ever been asked by US Customs to step inside a room? There you are just standing in the line of hundreds with everyone else and when you get to the front of the line, they do a lot of punching in the computer and look at your passport a few times and shake their heads and then keep punching in a million key strokes. Finally they look up at you and ask you to step into a little side room so someone can talk to you about a little issue. Your mind starts racing about what you might have done to deserve it or if your elementary school library finally reported that book you never returned.
That little room can take five minutes or in Justin Bieber's case it can take five hours. While he was pulled from his private jet yesterday afternoon outside New York City, the rest of the passengers and crew watched as customs officials checked every inch of the plane for drug residue after smelling pot inside the aircraft. I bet it smelled like pot and I bet they had been smoking before they took off, but even they can go without for the hour it takes to fly from Toronto to New York. Customs officials finally let Justin inside the country but my guess is he will only leave the country again if it is really important or some country is having a half price hooker sale.

Social Security Gains Two More Years
You've heard your parents talk about Social Security, and perhaps you have a grandparent who counts on receiving a Social Security check every month. Will you be able to count on Social Security, too? Many people believe that this program which primarily provides retirement benefits is no longer a sure thing for today's young people. In this lesson we will explore that question.
Budget Deficit, Budget Surplus, National Debt
- Understand issues related to Social Security.
- Explain near-term and long-term trends for the Social Security program.
- Describe the relationship between debt and deficits.
- Distinguish between a federal budget deficit and surplus.
[NOTE: Before your students begin to work on this lesson, ask each of them to copy the following statement on a sheet of paper: "I believe the likelihood that I'll ever receive a benefits check from Social Security is ______ percent. "Then tell each of them to fill in the blank, based on their own estimate of how likely it is that Social Security will still be around to benefit them when they retire. A "100 percent" response means that a student fully expects to receive Social Security payments; a "0 percent" response means he or she thinks there is no chance of receiving payments. Students should save this sheet; they will need it later.]
You've heard your parents talk about Social Security, and perhaps you have a grandparent who counts on receiving a Social Security check every month. Will you be able to count on Social Security, too? Many people believe that this program which primarily provides retirement benefits is no longer a sure thing for today's young people. In this lesson we will explore that question.
Social Security is the federal government program providing old-age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits. It is formally known as Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance, or OASDI. Medicare is the federal program providing hospital insurance benefits to senior citizens. It is often identified by the acronym HI. Both programs have been seen as in danger of running out of money. But on March 30, 1999, the Social Security Board of Trustees released information suggesting that the day of reckoning would come later than people had expected. Because the economy has been strong recently and because economic forecasts also look good for the future, the Board said that Social Security trust fund assets are now expected to last for two years longer than was predicted last year. And Medicare is now expected to be solvent for seven years more than was predicted in 1998.
For several years, revenue flowing into Social Security Administration coffers has exceeded expenditures. This revenue derives mainly from a payroll tax levied on employees and employers, while expenditures cover Social Security benefit payments, most of which fund retirement benefits for people 62 years of age and over. Congressional legislation requires that any excess of revenue over expenditures be placed in a trust fund. For each year that revenue exceeds expenditures, this trust fund grows. Trust fund assets are held in the form of special issues of U.S. Treasury securities. These securities represent a future obligation of the U.S. Treasury to the trust fund. Indirectly, of course, future taxpayers will be obligated to meet these claims when the debt is redeemed.

Read "News Release: Social Security Trust Funds Gain Two Additional Years of Solvency ."
In what years are assets in the Social Security and Medicare trust funds now expected to be exhausted?
[Social Security is expected to be exhausted in the year 2034; Medicare is expected to be exhausted in the year 2015.]
Why might this predicted extension of the longevity of the trust funds delay reform efforts for the two programs?
[Analysts suggest that the extension could reduce the urgency of politically unpopular reform efforts, especially in the case of Medicare.]
What were the revenues of the Old-Age and Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust Fund in 1998?
[The revenues of the Old-Age and Survivors and Disability Insurance Trust Fund was $489.2 billion in 1998.]
What were the expenditures of the OASDI Trust Fund in 1998?
[The expenditures of the OASDI Trust Fund was $382.3 billion in 1998.]
What was the increase in assets of the OASDI Trust Fund in 1998?
[The increase in assets of the OASDI Trust Fund in 1998 was $106.9 billion, the difference between revenues and expenditures.]
What was the accumulated total value of the OASDI Trust Fund in 1998?
[The accumulated total value of the OASDI Trust Fund in 1998 was $762.5 billion.]
How many OASDI beneficiaries were there at the end of 1998?
[44.2 million OASDI beneficiaries were there a the end of 1998.]
How many workers contributed to OASDI in 1998?
[148 million workers contributed to OASDI in 1998.]
Calculate the ratio of workers to OASDI beneficiaries at the end of 1998.
[148 /44.2 = 3.348 or 3.35 workers per beneficiary.]
Despite the 1999 balance of the OASDI Trust Fund (it <> is $762.5 billion) and the predictions that the balance will rise to $2327.2 billion by 2008, the long-term future of the fund looks uncertain. Current projections indicate that in 2014, Social Security expenditures will begin to exceed revenues. At that time, interest and assets in the trust funds will also be used to pay benefit claims. Ultimately trust fund assets will be drawn down until they are fully exhausted in 2034. At that time, payroll tax revenues will cover 71 percent of projected benefits liabilities. If this is allowed to happen, Social Security beneficiaries in 2034 will still receive benefit checks, but the checks will pay only a fraction of what had been promised. The key to understanding how this could happen is to realize that Social Security is not a fully funded, defined contribution public pension system. Instead, it can be thought of as a pay-as-you-go system of intergenerational transfers. This means that current beneficiaries can't be guaranteed that they will receive their benefits. Continued payment of these benefits depends in part on the willingness of the current generation of workers to tax themselves. And they in turn will depend upon workers in the next generation. This leads to the heart of the long-term funding problem. When the baby-boom generation (those born in the years 1946-1964) begins to retire, the ratio of workers to beneficiaries will begin to decline to a level that will not sustain the program at current benefits levels.
Calculate the ratio of workers to OASDI beneficiaries in 2034 if the number of workers is projected to be 170,705 and the number of beneficiaries is projected to be 81,354. [170,705/81,354 = 2.1]
Calculate the projected percentage increase in workers from 1998 to 2034.
[{(170.7 - 148)/148} x 100 = 15.3 %]
Calculate the projected percentage increase in beneficiaries from 1998 to 2034.
[{(81.4 - 44.2)/44.2} x 100} = 84.2 %]
The projected numbers of future workers and beneficiaries is taken from the 1999 OASDI Trustees Report .
It is demographic change that threatens the long-term solvency of Social Security. Increased life expectancies (despite an unchanged retirement age) and declining fertility rates have caused the worker-beneficiary ratio to decline to a dangerous level. These trends are not likely to change any time soon, although the retirement age is scheduled to increase gradually by two years during the first quarter of the 21st century. Thus, any improvements in the long-range outlook will have to derive from improved economic performance.
What economic factors are identified in the articles as having contributed to an improved outlook? [Reduced unemployment, higher wages, low inflation, adjustments to the CPI.]
- Why would these factors improve the Social Security outlook? [Reduced unemployment and higher wages mean, in the short run, that revenue is rising at a more rapid rate, while low inflation and adjustments to the CPI indicate that benefits receipts are growing less rapidly than projected, since a cost of living adjustment is applied to Social Security benefits.]
In the late 1990's Social Security surpluses had the effect of reducing the federal government budget deficit (or increasing its surplus). The reported Fiscal Year 1998 federal budget surplus of $69.2 billion would have been a deficit had it not been for a $99.3 billion OASDI surplus (for current information on the federal budget, go to the Monthly Treasury Statement from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service .) This is important to note because OASDI surpluses are invested in U.S. Treasury securities. That is, unless there is an offsetting surplus somewhere else in the budget, the national debt will rise when OASDI is running surpluses. This explains how the gross federal debt can be increasing at a time when the federal government is reporting surpluses (the public debt was $5,526.2 billion on 9/30/98 and $5, 413.1 billion on 9/30/97; see The Debt to the Penny and Who Holds It .) A relatively recent phenomenon is for the federal government to have debt obligations to its own agencies. But whether a debt is owed to the general public or to a government agency, taxpayers are ultimately liable for paying it. So how can the national debt grow when the government reports a budget surplus? The OASDI surplus is included in the reported budget, despite the fact that OASDI balances are held in "untouchable" trust funds. Therefore, even though surpluses are being reported, the national debt is also rising. This trend has grown in recent years.
[NOTE: At this point, it may be easier to ask your students to "follow the money trail." Money flows out of worker paychecks; most of it is used to pay current beneficiaries; the rest goes to the trust fund. The trust fund exchanges money for U.S. Treasury securities. The U.S. Treasury now has the money. What happens to this money? It is spent.]
Read "Clinton's Newest Social Security Plan: From Bad to Worse ."
- What is the author's criticism of former President Clinton's proposal for strengthening the Social Security system? [It commits additional future spending on Social Security benefits beyond projected OASDI surpluses. It also takes highly uncertain future budget surpluses for granted.]
Despite an improvement in current projections regarding Social Security's economic future, the trust fund is still projected to be exhausted by 2034. Well before that date, in 2014, OASDI expenditures will outstrip income. By that time, significant reform measures will need to be in place to guarantee the payment of equitable benefits for future generations.
[NOTE: Conclude the lesson by asking students to take out another sheet of paper and enter on it their projected likelihood that Social Security will be around when they retire. Have them look back at their pre-lesson responses, and ask them to write a paragraph explaining any difference in the numbers they reported and/or explain why they reported the number they did.]

Family Meals Nourish Teens' Mental Health: Study
Latest Healthy Kids News
MONDAY, March 25 (HealthDay News) -- Having regular family suppers is good for teens' mental health, according to a new study.
This is true whether or not youngsters feel they can easily talk to their parents.
For their study, the researchers examined data from about 26,000 adolescents, aged 11 to 15, who took part in a 2010 study on health behaviors in school-aged children in Canada.
"More frequent family dinners related to fewer emotional and behavioral problems, greater emotional well-being, more trusting and helpful behaviors towards others and higher life satisfaction," study co-author Frank Elgar, of McGill University in Montreal, said in a university news release.
The positive effects of family mealtime were the same regardless of gender, age or family income, according to the study in the April issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health.
"We were surprised to find such consistent effects on every outcome we studied," Elgar said. "From having no dinners together to eating together seven nights a week, each additional dinner related to significantly better mental health."
The researchers said family mealtimes are opportunities for open family exchanges, and allow parents to teach children about positive coping and health behaviors, and adolescents to voice their concerns and feel valued -- all of which help promote good mental health.
The new research uncovered an association between family meals and teens' emotional well-being. It did not prove a cause-and-effect connection.

Despite being a big guy, well built with a lot of tattoos, a friend of David (Glen) Dominie says he had a heart of gold.
The former resident of Stephenville died in a single-vehicle accident in his pickup truck on the highway near Vegreville, Alta. July 2.
Bernard Smith, a tattoo artist who operates Peek-a-Book Tattoo in Stephenville, said he befriended Dominie when he began frequently coming into the shop to get new ink.
"I'd estimate he spent close to 100 hours in my chair over the years, so I got to know him well," said Smith.
"He loved family members, friends and animals."
While his favourite tattoos were skulls and flames, things Smith said are more often biker related, Dominie's peronality was the opposite of the rough-and-tumble image. Smith says his friend was a good-hearted man.
"When I first heard of the accident I thought it might be a prank he was pulling off, since he was a bit of a joker, too," said Smith.
"It was pretty sad when I found out for real that it was no joke and that he was gone."
Smith said Dominie, who he described as a jack of all trades, was by no means a lazy man.
He said Dominie did contract work, and did his best at everything at which he tried his hand.
Smith can attest Dominie was well loved by his family — he also did tattoos for Dave's mom and his sister and brother.
When they were in the tattoo shop, 90 per cent of the conversation revolved around Dave, Smith recalled.
"He was loved and will be missed."
The funeral service for the 35-year-old Dominie takes place today at 2 p.m. at St. Augustine's Anglican Church on Hillview Avenue in Stephenville.
As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made to the Bay St. George Animal Shelter.

Crutchfield now selling tablets
Meredith Krebs was a video producer and copywriter at Crutchfield for several years. She wrote about cameras and produced over 100 videos for the website.
More from Meredith Krebs
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Crutchfield has just added a new product category to our website: Tablets. We're now carrying the Sony Tablet S and the Samsung Galaxy Tab™ (7").
|Our smallest tablet is 7" — our largest is 10.1".
Tablets can do a lot of different tasks that computers already do: send emails, surf the web, edit office documents, and play games. But they're lighter and smaller than laptops, and their touchscreens makes them easy and fun to use. Tablets also work with a lot of the audio/video gear we already carry, so they're a perfect fit for Crutchfield.
Whether you'store your music on a computer, or in the "cloud," you can access and play your entire library from your tablet. And, like with smart phones, you can stream PANDORA® Internet radio, Rhapsody®, Spotify™ and more to discover new artists or enjoy old favorites. Tablets that are Bluetooth® capable will "talk" to your Bluetooth speakers or car stereo, so you can listen to music on a high-quality system.
Accessing great video content just got a lot easier as well. Tablets give you more choices for watching the latest shows and movies. Some apps help you find shows you'll like based on your viewing tastes, so you don't have to wonder anymore if there's anything good on TV. If you prefer to watch on the big screen and get the full effect of the visuals, you can stream video content from your tablet to your TV.
Some tablets also have IR remote capabilities or apps so you can control your TV and other A/V equipment. Once you use the touchscreen as a universal remote, you'll never want to go back. And you can hopefully toss away all those remotes cluttering up your coffee table and simplify your setup.
|A tablet can stream video to your TV.
Tablets, like iPods before them, are changing the way we listen and watch, and making it easier than ever to play what we want, where we want, and when we want.

The difference is the amount of and type of chocolate, as well as the amount of fat in the cake.
• Devil's Food cake has more chocolate and uses a richer, darker chocolate variety. This causes the cake to be slightly higher in fat, as well.
• German Chocolate cake is made with German chocolate – named after it's creator, Samuel German, who thought it would be more convenient for bakers to have a chocolate where the sugar was already added to it. It is sweeter than semi-sweet chocolate and contains a blend of chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter. German chocolate cake is a rich American-style two layer cake filled and iced with cooked coconut-pecan frosting.
• Chocolate cake is not as rich or intensely chocolate as Devil's Food cake.

Nothing was falling for Gordon Hayward.
Wide-open shots were bouncing harmlessly off the rim. Aggressive drives to the basket were coming up empty. Two free throws went in and came back out. More than once, Utah's starting small forward looked at the basket with confusion when he missed yet another jumper.
In a 95-83 Utah Jazz victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night, Hayward played about as bad a first half as he's experienced all season. In just over 11 minutes on the court in the first two quarters, the former Butler star had three points on 1-for-8 shooting.
"I was frustrated," Hayward said. "The confidence level was still high, but nothing was dropping. I just kind of told myself that I needed to keep being aggressive offensively if I wanted things to start going my way."
By the end of a win the Jazz absolutely had to pull off, Hayward checked in with a game-high 23 points. He scored 20 of those after halftime. Four of the five 3-point attempts he put up found the bottom of the net. His shooting percentage miniscule in the first two quarters climbed all the way to .500 (9 for 18) by the time the 18,023 at EnergySolutions Arena started handing out standing ovations to the Jazz in the final minute.
The outburst was a tale of skill, but also a tale of mental toughness. In the past, Hayward would've gone into a shell, stopped shooting, and tried to contribute in other ways. This season, especially after the All-Star break, Hayward's been resolute in his willingness to take and make big shots.
"I saw one go in and it got a little easier," Hayward said. "You get that first shot to go down and then you get yourself into a bit of a groove. I just had to fight my way through it. I credit my teammates for continuing to find me."
Hayward led a Utah team that saw four players get to double-digits in scoring. It can be argued that he had the most impressive game, even with Paul Millsap checking in with 20 points to go along with 10 rebounds and seven assists.
The Jazz separated themselves from the Hornets largely to Hayward's shooting, which came with crisp ball movement. He and Millsap, along with Derrick Favors, carried the Jazz when it mattered.

Looks like you're new to this game: using backtrack 4 with rtl8192e wireless card.
Obviously, if you can get internets, your card is working. If you're using your card for internets, you can't put it in monitor mode at the same time. That would just be ridonkulous, and should have been quite obvious to you. Check the compatibility list put forth by the developers of aircrack-ng. It's on the internets. I know this because I search before I post. If your card isn't there, then chances are you'll need to get yourself a new, compatible card.
The answers are out there, waiting for you to find them. When/if you do find them, c'mon back and post how you got it to work in the HCL forums.
And, since I'm nicer than some other people on the forum, I've included a link.

Seattle • Starbucks it will support efforts to have a bankruptcy court reconsider bids to purchase Tully's Coffee.
The company said this week it plans to back a filing in which Tully's franchisee AgriNurture outlines why it believes AgriNurture and Starbucks' bids should be accepted.
The companies hope to derail a $9.15 million bid from actor Patrick Dempsey and his investor group that Tully's and its creditors chose last week in a private auction.
Together, Starbucks and AgriNurture have offered to buy all 47 Tully's locations for $10.56 million. Starbucks wants 25 of those stores, which it would rebrand Starbucks.
The case is to be heard Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Seattle.
Cliff Burrows, Starbucks' president for the Americas, said the offers from his company and AgriNurture are best for Tully's creditors, shareholders and employees, and for Seattle.
"Starbucks' hometown has been in Seattle for more than 40 years, and we know what it takes to run a successful coffee house here," Burrows said.
What he did not say is that Tully's record has been quite the opposite, through many CEOs. In two decades, it turned a profit in only two fiscal years, when it sold substantial portions of its company.
In an emailed statement, Dempsey said, "We remain confident that the court will reach the right decision and find that Global Baristas LLC [his group] submitted the highest and best bid."
Burrows said Starbucks would give qualified employees priority for jobs. He declined to comment on what would happen to employees at Tully's Seattle headquarters.
Starbucks has not filed a response in court to Tully's plan to accept Dempsey's offer, but Burrows said that at the hearing the chain will support AgriNurture's effort to have their two offers reconsidered.
"AgriNurture believes that the combined Starbucks/AgriNurture bids constitute the highest and best bid," publicly traded AgriNurture said in its filing Wednesday. It operates six Tully's franchise locations in the Philippines.
The filing said that during last week's auction, Dempsey's lower bid was chosen because of concerns about whether Green Mountain Coffee Roasters would consent to the deal. Green Mountain bought Tully's wholesale business and the rights to its name in 2009.
"Parties may offer any number of reasons why the [Dempsey] bid should be deemed the 'Successful Bid,' but the only reason offered at the auction was the uncertainty surrounding Green Mountain's consent," the AgriNurture filing said.
In its own filing, Green Mountain which has a business relationship with Starbucks said it has reached agreements with Dempsey's group and AgriNurture for new license, supply and noncompetition agreements, and does not plan to object to a sale to either party.
AgriNurture's filing argues that because of that deal, Tully's should accept its bid.
Another bidder formally objected to the Dempsey deal in a filing Wednesday.
Neon T Coffee Shops, formerly Kachi Partners of Colorado, cited the publicity surrounding Dempsey's deal and what it considered unequal treatment of parties making partial bids, among other things.
"Neon T was and is still prepared to enter into a partial asset bid that could result in increasing value to the Estate," the filing said.

Lawyer: Mom Said She Would Return 2 Kids To GA
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — An attorney in Georgia says a woman arrested in the deaths of her two children in California had promised to return them to their father on Sunday.
Lawyer Marian Weeks says her client, Mark Edge, received full custody of his children, 9-year-old Faith and 13-year-old Jaelen, last week in a contentious divorce case.
Weeks says 42-year-old Marilyn Edge sent a text to her ex-husband on Friday saying she would bring the kids back to Georgia.
She was arrested Saturday after she told police they could find her children at an Orange County hotel. Police found her apparently suicidal after crashing her car.
Authorities have not released a cause of death. No charges have been filed but Marilyn Edge is expected to make her first court appearance Tuesday.

As Pesach is fast approaching, I have decided on what desserts I am going to make to make this year: Chocolate-Pistachio Cake and the Orange-Ginger Cake (See Passover Preparations).
This pistachio cake is based on a recipe from Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers, Italian Easy: Recipes from the River Cafe. It is a very easy cake to make. I would prefer to make it with butter, but I must make a parve cake for Passover.
Normally, I do not like Passover cakes made with matza meal, but this cake only calls for 1/2 cup and you really don't notice it. Substitute with flour when it is not Passover.
Since the Passover hostess is a chocoholic, I am covering the cake with a bittersweet chocolate glaze, but the original recipe is served plain with a lemon glaze.
250g (2-1/4 sticks) unsalted butter or margarine
1 lemon
1 vanilla bean or equivalent of vanilla paste
150g (2/3 cup) blanched almonds
170 g (3/4 cup) pistachios
1-1/4 cups superfine sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup matza cake flour
1 lemon
113g (1/2 cup) pistachios
1/4 cup superfine sugar
85g (3 oz) fine-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
85g (3/4 stick) margarine or butter, cut into pieces
57g (1/4 cup) ground pistachios
Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 9-inch (22cm) springform pan with 4 teaspoons of the butter and line with baking parchment.
Soften the remaining margarine or butter. Finely grate the lemon peel. Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. Finely grind the almonds and pistachios together.
Beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the lemon peel and vanilla seeds, then fold in the nuts and sift in the flour.
Spoon the batter into the pan and bake for 45-60 minutes. The cake is ready when a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the pan, then turn out.
Grate the lemon peel and squeeze the juice. Halve the pistachios.
Mix the lemon juice with the sugar, boil until reduced to a syrup, then add the peel. Stir in the pistachios and pour over the cake.
Melt chocolate with 1 tablespoon butter in a small heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring. Remove from heat and add remaining 5 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until smooth.
Transfer the glaze to a bowl and chill, covered, until slightly thickened and spreadable, about 30 minutes.
Spread the glaze over cake with a small metal spatula. Sprinkle pistachios on the top and sides of the cake.
The other cake I considered making this year is another favourite of mine. It is a spice cake with a chocolate glaze. Simple and delicious. I do not remember where I got this recipe.
1/2 cup sugar plus additional for dusting
400g (1-3/4 cups ) finely ground almonds
85g (3 oz) fine-quality bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, coarsely grated
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
5 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
4 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt
85g (3 oz) fine-quality bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
85g (3/4 stick) margarine or butter, cut into pieces
75g (1/3 cup) sliced almonds
22cm (9-inch) cake pan or springform pan ( I use a springform)
Preheat oven to 180C (350°F). Butter pan and dust with sugar, knocking out excess.
Stir together ground almonds, chocolate, and spices in a bowl. Beat yolks with 1/4 cup sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, then beat in zest.
Beat whites with salt with cleaned beaters in a large bowl until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
Stir one third of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites in 2 more batches. Fold in ground almond mixture.
Pour batter into mold and bake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cake in mold on a rack 10 minutes, then invert onto rack and cool completely.
Melt chocolate with 1 tablespoon margarine in a small heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring. Remove from heat and add remaining 5 tablespoons margarine, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until smooth. Transfer icing to a bowl and chill, covered, until slightly thickened and spreadable, about 30 minutes.
Spread icing over cake with a small metal spatula. Sprinkle almonds on the top and sides of the cake. Chill cake until icing is set, at least 1 hour. Transfer cake to a platter and bring to room temperature before serving.

text: For the six millionth time, Lindsay Lohan slipped this weekend at Coachella. This time though it wasn't just that tiny glass of white wine. Nope. She is back on her favorite of vodka and soda and could barely stand after consuming lots of them while chain smoking cigarettes. In Touch says that she was with a group of people, including her sister and brother and Lindsay was putting away drinks just like everyone else in the group. You would think that Ali and Michael Jr. would keep her from drinking or say something to her, but they enable just like the rest of Lindsay's "friends." They don't want the party to stop or Lindsay to be sober because then she might cut them off or not invite them to things. I guess in their world it is much better to be an enabler then to be the one shut out from the party for saying something. Lindsay has said previously that she can be around other people that drink and in situations where there is booze around. She also said last week that she is in a good place and not drinking. Uh huh.

I seem to be missing something, and need to be pointed in the right direction if you don't mind. In my lab I have a fully patched Vista and XP box and am attacking with a BT 4 box.
As they are fully patched, Metasploit attacks are a no go. Now, I am assuming that some of the software on each box is exploitable, such as firefox, and various p2p programs I have running.
Although I know what software I have installed, I don't know how an attacker would identify this. How could I find out for instance what software and version the box/user uses to surf the web or download the top 40 say?
The Vista Box:

googling ports tells me that Limewire has 2 ports open on the XP box, which it does but how would one know which version. Also, Winamp is running on this box (shoutcast radio) but this doesn't seem to be detectable neither does port 80 traffic. How can I gather further information?
@OP its not showing because nmap scans for servers not clients. Also impretty sure gnutella, torrents and edonkey are all udp based.
@Prez, lolwat? See my above comment.
Also, generallyattackingaclient requires knowledgeit exists, assuch,almost all attacksare based againstweb browsers.
Browserrecon is a toolfor webbrowsers,for most other protocols, youdneed documentation for the protocol, and anintinate knowledgeof it.
Beware that the client can present misleading or incorrect information in its identifying string.
Another approach is to scan the system with some sort of network/system management tool that can query APIs on the system that will return information about installed software. On Windows you could use WMI or MSRPC to do this, however this usually requires Windows authentication before it will work... and if you have that you may not need to find software to exploit.

Edwards Authority Toughens Water Restrictions
What a difference a month makes.
Just over a month after massive flooding covered much of the region in water, the Edwards Aquifer Authority has re-imposed Stage Two water rationing across the San Antonio metro area.
The ruling does not directly affect residential water users, but it will require commercial and industrial pumpers, and people who have backyard water wells, to cut their water usage immediately.
The Edwards lifted the restrictions of Stage One after the floods hit the area on May 25, but the Edwards has not completely lifted all pumping restrictions in the last 14 months.
The San Antonio Water System remains in Stage Two restrictions, and continues to be cautiously optimistic that it can avoid Stage Three, which has never been imposed.

Using Backtrack 5 R3, I tried connecting to my home wireless network. It's encrypted with a 64 bits WEP key (hexadecimal) - yes I know it's not very safe - but I can't get an IP address.
I made sure to select the right type of WEP Encryption, and that my key was correct.
At first I tried setting a static IP, but then the error was "unable to contact wireless access point".
Then I tried connecting via the command line using iwconfig and dhclient. Still no success.
Then I tried downloading and installing the latest drivers (stable and experimental - I tried both) from Linux Wireless for my network card, but I still get the same results.
Then I tried removing WICD and installing Network Manager for KDE instead; still no IP address.
Finally I switched back to wicd and did a "dpkg-reconfigure wicd", but it didn't change anything.
The laptop is an Acer Aspire 6530-5959, the wireless network chipset is Atheros 9000 series, and my router is a NETGEAR WNR100v2.
Additional info:
Connecting to the same network on the same computer worked fine in backtrack 3 and 4. This is definitely new.
Additional additional info:
Kali Linux works perfectly! It's awesome!

A man and woman with long rap sheets have been taken into custody on suspicion of killing a popular El Camino Real Charter High School soccer player, police said today.
Jason Schumann, 24, of Calabasas, and Elizabeth Ibarra, 19, who has lived in various locations around the San Fernando Valley, were arrested in connection with the murder of Francisco "Pancho" Rodriguez Jr., the star goalie who was fatally shot on his front lawn Jan. 11.
A motive for the killing has not been determined, but police said it was not related to any gang or other criminal activity.
"We believe it was personally motivated," said Deputy Chief Jorge Villegas of the LAPD's Valley Bureau.
Police said the two suspects are involved in a "significant relationship" with each other and both have long criminal histories. Schumann has a record for charges that include assault with a deadly weapon, battery, narcotics and forgery, while Ibarra has a record for forgery, battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and identity theft.
Villegas said investigators are continuing to gather evidence, but they do not believe any other suspects were involved in the killing.
"This case is far from being over," Villegas said. "There's still pieces of information that we need to further solidify."
Initial reports described a woman with red or auburn hair showing up on the doorstep of the Rodriguez family home in Winnetka that evening. The 17-year-old senior stepped outside to talk with her and moments later at least three gunshots rang out. Family and neighbors rushed outside to find Rodriguez bleeding out into the grass.
Neighbors reported a green Ford Explorer fleeing the scene.
After assigning 15 detectives to the case and receiving numerous tips from the public, police tracked down the car late Monday parked in Calabasas.
The two suspects were brought in to the Topanga station for questioning late Monday night and then arrested.
Villegas added that some of the information came from an anonymous tipster and he urged that person to come forward and identify him or herself to investigators.
In the police mugshot released Tuesday, Ibarra has dark hair, but Villegas said she had recently colored her hair.
West Valley City Councilman Dennis Zine, who also spoke at the police press conference, said the community should be reassured by the quick arrest.
"These individuals are in custody, and the threat to the people of L.A. was never there," Zine said. "These individuals had this particular individual that they wanted murdered. Now justice will take place within the courts. The people of Winnetka can sleep more peaceful now."
Rodriguez had just returned home from a soccer game that night against Taft High School, where he logged four saves in the 0-0 match before he was shot.
Students at El Camino and other area schools, where Rodriguez had made fast friends through a regional soccer club, have been rallying since his death in a major outpouring of grief and support.
A fundraiser at a Woodland Hills ice rink and donations being collected at El Camino were going to help with the family's funeral expenses. Stuffed animals, flowers and candles were being on left on the home's lawn, where bloodied grass still marked the spot where Rodriguez lay dying.
He had been planning to attend Los Angeles Mission College after graduation, and was going to play soccer there, too, according to El Camino boys soccer coach David Hussey.

I have tried this already and I had some strange things and also still some blocks, even if allowing
"any to any" on all Interfaces. I think this is because of some rules that can´t be disabled and
that are not seen in the webadministration (look at http://ip-of-mono/status.php to see all rules).
Maybe you could tweak somethings but you won´t get it running by setting rules in the
webadministration I guess.
I added a NIC to assign the wan to that isn´t used to get everything running as a filtering bridge.
I don´t think that I made something wrong when I tested it.

Can you simply just use the WAN designated interface on your LAN? I have done
that too. Just changed the default ruleset. That should make m0n0 happy and you too.

PHILADELPHIA -The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team had one of the more frustrating days in recent memory on Sunday, outshooting Lehigh 27-7 but only gaining a 1-1 draw with the Mountain Hawks for their efforts.
Playing on Rhodes Field for the first time this season -- the three previous home matches had been played at Penn Park while the Rhodes renovation was concluded -- Penn dominated almost the entire match, and especially the second half and overtime periods (16-2 shot advantage).
Lehigh put forth most of its offensive firepower in the first half, with five of its seven shots in that period, and it was the Mountain Hawks who hit the scoreboard first. As the match moved past the half-hour mark, Murphee Greeley played a long ball in from the left side that Danielle Salans was able to re-direct past Penn goalkeeper Katherine Myhre's left side and inside the far post.
Penn, meanwhile, was hitting the crossbar no less than three times in the opening period -- Kathryn Barth in the 13th minute, Laura Oliver in the 24th minute, and finally Megan York late in the stanza.
Penn pushed the play in the second half, and the Quakers were rewarded with a little more than 15 minutes left in regulation. A corner kick from Kerry Scalora on the right side went to the far post, where freshman defender Tahirih Nesmith was waiting to head it home. It was Nesmith's team-leading fourth goal this season.
Penn spent the last 35 minutes after that searching for the winner, but it never came -- Lehigh goalkeeper Ashley Blanks was equal to every challenge. In particular, she made a great diving save on Brianna Rano just ahead of Nesmith's goal, and in the first OT she denied Erin Mikolai in spectacular fashion with a diving save to her right.
Penn's final chance came in the waning seconds of the second OT, when Elissa Berdini got open near the top of the box and fired a shot that went just wide. With that, the draw was secured.
Blanks ended the game with nine saves, while Myhre had five stops in going the distance for the first time this season. In addition to its shot advantage, Penn took 10 corner kicks to Lehigh's one.
Penn is home twice next weekend, hosting Cornell in an Ivy League match on Friday at 7 p.m. and then Fairleigh Dickinson on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Spleen removal - child - dischargeSplenectomy - child - discharge; Spleen removal - child - discharge
Your child's spleen was removed after your child was given general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free).
- If your child had open surgery, the surgeon made an incision (cut) in the middle of your child's belly. Or the incision was madeon the left side of the belly just below the ribs.
- If your child had laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon made 3 to 4 small cuts in your child's belly.
What to Expect at Home
Most children recover quickly after spleen removal. Recovery from laparoscopic surgery is usually faster than recovery from open surgery.
Your child may have some of these symptoms. All of them should slowly go away:
- Pain around the incisions for a few days.
- Sore throat from the breathing tube. Sucking on ice chips or gargling (if your child is old enough to do these things)can helpsoothe the throat.
- Bruising, skin redness, or pain around the cut, or cuts.
- Problems taking deep breaths.
If your child'sspleen was removed for a blood disorder or lymphoma, your childmay need more treatment depending on the disorder.
If your child is an infant, try not to letyour babycry for too long for the first 3 to 4 weeks after surgery. Staying calm yourself will help your baby stay calm. When you lift your baby, support both the baby's head and bottom for the first 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.
Toddlers and older children will often stop any activity if they get tired. Do not press them to do more if they seem tired.
Thedoctor or nurse will tell you when it is okay for your child to return to school or daycare. This may be as soon as 2to 3 weeks after surgery.
For the first 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, your child should not do any activityduring whichthere is a chance of falling. Your child also should not go bicycling, skateboarding, roller skating, play contact sports, or lift anything heavier than 3 pounds.
Climbing stairs is okay. Swimming is okay after the strips of tapehave fallen off your child's incisions, and the doctor says it is okay.
Youcan give your child acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain. The doctor may also prescribe other pain medicines to use at home if your child needs them.
Make sure your home is safe. For example, remove things, such as throw rugs,that might cause your child to trip and fall.
Wound Care
Your doctor will tell you when to stop keeping your child'sincisions covered. Care for the incisions as instructed.Keep theincision area clean by washing it with mild soap and water.
You may remove theincision dressings (bandages) and give your child a shower. If strips of tape or surgical glue were used to close the incision:
- Cover the incision with plastic wrap before showering for the first week.
- Do not try to wash off thetape or glue. They will fall off in about a week.
Your child should not soak in a bathtub or hot tub or go swimming until your doctor says it is okay.
Preventing Infections
Most people live a normal active life without a spleen, but there is always a risk of gettingan infection. This is because the spleen is part of the body's immune system, helping fight infections.
Your child will be more likely to get infections without a spleen:
- Riskof infection is highest in the first 2 years after surgery, or until your child is 5 or 6 years old.
- Always tell your child's doctor if your child has a fever, sore throat, headache, belly pain, or diarrhea, or an injury that breaks the skin. Most of the time, problems like these will not be serious. But, sometimes they can lead to major infections.
For the first week after surgery, check your child's temperature every day.
Ask your child's doctor if your child should have thesevaccinations:
- Pneumonia vaccination
- Meningococcal vaccination
- Haemophilus vaccination
- Flu shot (every year)
Your child may need to take antibiotics every day for a while. Tell your child's doctor if the medicine is causing your child any problems. Donot stop giving antibiotics before checking with your child's doctor.
These things will help prevent infections in your child:
- Teach your child to wash his or her hands often with soap and water. Family members should do the same.
- Get your child treated for any bites, especially dog bites, right away.
- Let your child's doctor know if your child will be traveling out of the country. Your child may need to carry extra antibiotics, take precautions against malaria, and make sure immunizations are up to date.
- Tell all of your child's health care providers (dentist, doctors, nurses, or nurse practitioners) that your child does not have a spleen.
- Ask your child's doctor or nurse about a special bracelet for your child to wear that says your child does not have a spleen.
Other Care
After surgery, most babies and infants (younger than 12 to 15 months) can take as much formula or breast milk as they want. Ask your child's doctor first if this is right for your baby. Your child's doctor or nurse may tell you how to add extra calories to formula.
Give toddlers and older children regular, healthy foods. The doctor or nurse will tell you about any changes you should make.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor or nurse if:
- Your child's temperature is above 101°F (38.3°C).
- The surgical wounds are bleeding, are red or warm to the touch, or have a thick, yellow, green, or milky drainage.
- Your child has pain that is not helped by pain medicines.
- It is hard for your child to breathe.
- Your child has a cough that does not go away.
- Your child cannot drink or eat.
- Your child is not as energetic as usual, is not eating, and looks ill.

Depending on your outlook on life, planet Earth is either a total mess or a wonderful world. Sort of like describing the glass as half empty or half full.
Which one are you? A pessimist or an optimist? Or somewhere in between?
When I started writing Dateline Long Beach a year ago, one of my goals was to find optimistic people who had overcome adversities and wanted to solve problems instead of complaining about them.
I've always liked the story about Julia Ward Howe complaining about Union soldiers using profanities while singing a song and marching outside Washington during the Civil War.
According to one version of the story, Abraham Lincoln bent over on the reviewing stand and said to her, "Madame, why don't you quit complaining and do something about it?"
Inspired, she woke up early the next morning and wrote the words to the song that was forever to be known as the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Like Diogenes looking for honest people, I went searching for optimistic people like Julia Ward Howe. With so much negativity swirling around, much of it fanned by polarizing political opinions, I thought this might be a daunting task.
But I was proven wrong as, week after week, I discovered people in the Long Beach area who looked on the bright side of life, many despite the curve balls that had been thrown at them.
One of the most inspirational people I met was Erin Vidovich, who is battling cancer. Every morning she looks in her bathroom mirror and smiles when she sees a paper heart her husband cut out and taped to the mirror with a handwritten note to "Erin, the most beautiful girl I've ever known."
He put the heart there after Erin had worried she looked "absolutely haggard" because of her cancer.
Erin, who lives in East Long Beach, told me this week that her battle with cancer rages on, that a recent scan showed the cancer had spread to part of her brain and spine. But she said her husband's paper heart still greets her every day and gives her great support and will help her "tackle our new challenges in the new year."
Jay Cramer and Katy Sullivan easily could feel sorry for themselves. Jay broke his neck while rock climbing in Malibu, and Katy was born without legs. They met while getting treatment at the Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center in Downey, fell in love and got married, a magical romance.
In September Katy achieved her dream and competed in the Paralympics in London. She set an American record and finished sixth in the world.
Jay and Katy don't consider themselves victims. Katy says obstacles are placed in your path to demonstrate how badly you want something. Jay says, "Take the hand you've been dealt and be grateful for the lessons you've learned."
Jay continues to perform in the LA area as a stand-up comedian. Does he ever joke that he's a stand-up comic who can't stand up? "All the time," he says. "I start my routines with that." Jay also directs the performing arts program at the Rancho.
Both are motivational speakers and Katy is an actress. "You will see me on the new FX series, `Legit,' and on ABC's `Last Man Standing,"' she said.
Another couple brimming with optimism are Jerry and Jody Barber who fell in love as teenagers, got married during World War II and recently celebrated 70 years of marriage with friends and family at Phil Trani's Restaurant in Long Beach. Their secret to a long marriage: Mutual respect, compromise and a sense of humor.
Asked how they were going to celebrate their 71st anniversary on Nov. 7, 2013, Jerry, the joker of the two, said: "I hope we can just make it there still breathing!"
Nancy Berglund had perhaps the most difficult life of everyone I met this year. A severe drug and alcohol addict, Nancy had lost her will to live until she entered the Flossie Lewis Center, a safe haven in Downtown Long Beach with a substance abuse recovery program designed to help people like Nancy.
The program worked for Nancy who is now on her own and will begin a new job in telemarketing next month.
"It's scary," she said. "I've been dealing with depression all my life, but I'm learning from my mistakes and learning how to cope with life."
Mary Thoits, director of the Senior Studies Program at Long Beach City College, is an optimistic risk taker who lives life with gusto. She went skydiving over Lake Elsinore to celebrate her 85th birthday.
"Your mind doesn't age," she said. "You should say, `How old would I be if my mind didn't know how old I was?" She's working on how to celebrate her 90th birthday next year. It should be a doozie.
Other optimistic people I met included Noah Larson, who was born deaf but had a cochlear implant at 2 and is now hearing; Wilbur "Moose" Thompson, who won a gold medal in the shot put at the 1948 Olympics in London and can still fit into his Olympics jersey at 92; Melanie Washington, who forgave and made friends with the young man who killed her son and started a nonprofit to help other troubled young men; Lindsey Kerr, who was born with cerebral palsy and was a princess at Millikan High School's Homecoming game; Maycie Herrington, a civil rights leader and widow of a World War II Tuskegee Airman; and David San Jose, who recently closed his popular Bikes 90800 program in North Long Beach.
Phil Infelise, the man I dubbed "The Most Optimistic Man in Long Beach," remains optimistic about the new year. Infelise has spent more than 50 years with the Optimist Club and was recently given the Optimists' lifetime achievement award for his work with the club's youth home.
"I'm still alive and still optimistic, despite some tough times," he said.
I tried to find a way to get Tim Grobaty, my sidekick columnist, into this column to hawk his two new books, one on Long Beach history and the other on movies and TV shows made in Long Beach, but Tim reminded me that he is a pessimist somewhere between a realist and a cynic so I had to leave him out.
If you know other optimists and inspirational people, let me know. A whole new year starts next week. Happy New Year!

Information for Patients
Heart Valve Diseases
Also called: Valvular heart disease
Your heart has four valves. Normally, these valves open to let blood flow through or out of your heart, and then shut to keep it from flowing backward. But sometimes they don't work properly. If they don't, you could have
- Regurgitation - when blood leaks back through the valve in the wrong direction
- Mitral valve prolapse - when one of the valves, the mitral valve, has "floppy" flaps and doesn't close tightly. It's one of the most common heart valve conditions. Sometimes it causes regurgitation.
- Stenosis - when the valve doesn't open enough and blocks blood flow
Valve problems can be present at birth or caused by infections, heart attacks, or heart disease or damage. The main sign of heart valve disease is an unusual heartbeat sound called a heart murmur. Your doctor can hear a heart murmur with a stethoscope. But many people have heart murmurs without having a problem. Heart tests can show if you have a heart valve disease. Some valve problems are minor and do not need treatment. Others might require medicine, medical procedures, or surgery to repair or replace the valve.

Streptococcal Infections
Also called: Strep
Strep is short for Streptococcus, a type of bacteria. There are two types: group A and group B.
Group A strep causes
- Strep throat - a sore, red throat, sometimes with white spots on the tonsils
- Scarlet fever - an illness that follows strep throat. It causes a red rash on the body.
- Impetigo - a skin infection
- Toxic shock syndrome
- Cellulitis and necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease)
Group B strep can cause blood infections, pneumonia and meningitis in newborns. A screening test during pregnancy can tell if you have it. If you do, I.V. antibiotics during labor can save your baby's life. Adults can also get group B strep infections, especially if they are elderly or already have health problems. Strep B can cause urinary tract infections, blood infections, skin infections and pneumonia in adults.
Antibiotics are used to treat strep infections.

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
— Albert Einstein
Wolfgang Schlicht teaches math, physics, and IT at the Staatliche Realschule Viechtach (a German high school). As a technology training specialist, he has been helping students, educators, and employees of the local educational administration develop skills in digital photo editing, desktop publishing, multimedia, and web development since 2003.
He has offered his students a course called "Medienkunst" (Arts and Media) in collaboration with an arts educator since September 2009. These students can use Adobe® Photoshop® and Adobe Illustrator® software in very creative ways. They present their results in a public exhibition at the end of the school year. The course participants also take part in many competitions. Last year, for example, they won the Naturvision contest with an animated short film. The main actor, a stag beetle, was created with Illustrator and Photoshop. Furthermore, Schlicht initiated a relationship with Certiport so that students in his course can take part in the ACA certification at school.
Schlicht specializes in teaching educators and students to use Adobe InDesign®, Acrobat® Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Contribute® software. At the moment, he is acquiring knowledge in Cinema 4D, a 3D application that works well with the Adobe software and that has huge potential for creative work. He also tries to inspire his photography students and make them more aware of picture manipulation in their daily environment, especially in advertising and in the yellow press.

Main Content
The care and safeguard of all Southern Connecticut State University property is the responsibility of every member of the University. The following policies are mandated by the State and administered by Southern's Inventory Control Office.
By Connecticut General State Statue 4-36, a full physical inventory of the University will be performed once a year. Equipment having a value of $1,000 or more and a useful life of one year or more is "capital inventory." Capital inventory is tagged with a bar coded inventory label, and maintained on the University's inventory system.
Equipment having a cost of less $1,000 and prone to theft is "controllable inventory." Controllable inventory is tagged and inventoried by the same standards used for capital inventory. Examples of controllable inventory are computer peripherals under $1,000 cost.
Capital and controllable inventory will be accounted for annually to meet State and CSU mandates and reporting requirements.
Department chairs will annually appoint a staff or faculty member as their department
inventory representative for at least a one-year term.
