The Silverback Nation come from a broad range of ages, ability levels and backgrounds. Check out their stories.
During the past fifteen months, CrossFit Silverback has given me more than I could have ever expected. I've found something that I can easily maintain forever, but more than anything, I'm happy and confident about myself for the first time ever.
I had tried nearly every other exercise program out there before joining CrossFit Silverback: marathon running, P90X, yoga, traditional gyms with personal training, cycling, kickboxing, and even boot camps. I was spending countless hours in the gym and effort on doing the things that "they" tell you that you "should" be doing and eating but with no weight loss or any dynamic changes to my body. I was obsessed with tracking every calorie I consumed as well as every calorie I burned. I was always fearful of gaining weight and I wasn't happy. I wasn't super overweight, but I certainly wasn't fit.
I joined CrossFit Silverback in January of 2012 out of frustration with everything else. I had been disappointed so many times previously that I didn't even expect it to work. But, I showed up and instantly was hooked. The community aspect at CrossFit Silverback and the support of the coaches sets it apart from all other fitness outlets. The box community cannot be underestimated as they make working out so enjoyable and everyone is so encouraging; they push me to do my best! The changes I saw were almost instant and they have been sustainable with out much effort. Even when I travel for work, I can bust out a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Burpee and Sit Up WOD! When in town, I just show up to the box three or four times a week and eat real food; no counting anything, just enjoying life!
Looking back…
I was unhealthy.
I was far from fit.
I didn't know the first thing about lifting weights nor could I lift any weights.
I had a "bum" knee from an injury.
I was sure I would "start tomorrow".
I didn't think Crossfit was for me.
I was certain that ONLY big, buff, muscular meatheads were what I would see in the gym.
BUT…I knew something needed to change. You see I walked into my parents' bathroom a little over a year ago to find the row after row of prescriptions for high blood pressure, cholesterol and the like. And I saw myself following in those same footsteps and knew… I NEED a change; a change in my lifestyle. Ok, so maybe it also started with wanting to fit into that little black dress I kept for 11 years with the hope that I'd wear it again. Whatever the motivation, I found myself walking into the Silverback nation afraid yet slightly open to what lay ahead.
I remember waiting in my car (you see…I wanted a quick getaway just in case) for the gym to open at 4:30pm to get my first glimpse at this Crossfit thing I'd heard about from a couple of friends. And I was surprised to find two ladies standing by the bay door; slightly older than me. So the big, buff meatheads story was out. I said, "it's now or never," and with that, I got out of my car and headed their way. They were quick to greet me and share their experience and enthusiasm for introducing me to Matt, GIC (Gorilla-In-Charge). I shared my previous workout history, which was not lengthy and only recently included running and training to run a marathon (which I did not run due to an injury). And I mentioned my knee injury from a skiing accident. He listened and simply shared that every movement an athlete does in the box can be modified to fit my ability and endurance level. But I had to see for myself. I observed the class for a few minutes watching those ladies row, lift weights and keep moving. And a single thought hit me…if they could do it, so could I.
I went back the next day for the following modified WOD:
5 Rounds
9 Squats
6 Knee push ups
3 Ring pulls
I finished in 10:12. For me, I was proud to be done but commented in my journal, "I feel like jello". But I went back the next day to another modified workout. I finished that one too but remember laying on the floor in my living room unable to move or get up from that position for 30 minutes. So I did what most tell you not to do. I took a day off on Day 3 to try and recover. But I admit all I could think about was NOT going back. And texted a friend and fellow Crossfitter (at another box), who encouraged me to go back. I did. For the next 365 days and counting…
In a year's time, this is what I have learned:
I'm healthier today than a year ago and continue to make better choices around what I eat. This isn't a perfect science nor would I say that I always eat the "right" foods. But I eat more of the "right" foods to strengthen my health than take a way from it. And I allow for everything in moderation.
I'm stronger today than I was yesterday and derfinitely more than a year ago. This not only includes physical strength but also strength of mind and spirit. I now understand a phrase that one of the coaches shared with me once: "sometimes you are the windshield and sometimes you are the bug". There are days when I will crush a WOD because I made the best choices that day from what I ate, to how much water I drank to the amount of sleep I had. And there are still days when "I feel like jello" and get beaten by the WOD. But I ALWAYS FINISH. And that is truly what matters.
Crossfit is my lifestyle now! And I'm not going back to the way things were before Crossfit. The Silverback Nation is my second family where I'm able to be a "work in progress", and I'm missed when I'm not there and held accountable for doing the work when I walk through those bay doors. I've learned true GRIT: Gratefully, Renewed, Inspired Transformation.
But the proof is in the results: I can deadlift 245 lbs. I can swing a 53 lb Kettle bell. I am able to backsquat 185 lbs. I'm 15lbs away from sled pushing my body weight. The point…I can now lift weights and have muscles where there were none. I'm 50 lbs lighter and counting. My clothes don't fit and the ones I bought last fall that fit then…no longer fit. I did finally put on that little black dress again this Christmas but while it was an achievement, it isn't the end destination for me. My body has changed, and this is now a journey for me. To be stronger today than yesterday. My goals have changed…fitting into that little black dress was GREAT but NOW…I want to be able to do an unassisted pull-up. And I'm well on my way.
I can't begin to thank the coaches enough for their unyielding support. To know when to modify for my injury or my ability to when to push me to increase my weight, every coach has loved me through every moment of my journey. For that, I am overwhelmingly grateful. When I find myself struggling to keep moving through a WOD, it's their words and encouragement that I hear (as well as those fellow Silverbacks who I can now call friends) that has and is slowly becoming my own voice. I'm proud of what I've accomplished but more proud of where I'm going and couldn't ask for a better BOX and community of athletes to share this journey. Thank you, Matt, Garrett, Val, Dick, DJ, Zach and my dear family at Silverback Nation—I am a stronger, better version of myself because of your loving support.
For most of my life I didn't play sports, I wasn't on any teams or squads, I didn't even have a workout routine. I joined a globo-gym around 23, but I rarely went and didn't really have any focus when I was there. When my brothers suggested I try CrossFit I thought they were NUTS…there was no way I was going to be able to go from zero to the intensity of CrossFit…especially after 27 years of doing nothing! After months of saying no, I finally took a chance and started at the bottom. Without even realizing it, I got hooked and started to actually enjoy working out. 18 months in the box brought strength and confidence in myself and my abilities. My body showed changes, which is inevitable with the increase in activity, but I didn't see dramatic differences until I cleaned up my diet. I started eating paleo about 6 months ago and the inches began to melt away. I don't pay too much attention to the scale because the numbers aren't what's important, it's about looking and feeling your best…and I certainly feel pretty dang good about the progress I've made!! I do know that I've gone from a tight size 9 (pushing 11) pants down to a belted 2!! Huge thanks to all the trainers of CrossFit Silverback and the other amazing athletes of the Silverback nation!! I LOVE being a part of this community!
I began my transition to a healthy life style back in September 2012 by finally joining CrossFit Silverback awesome gym (community). In October 2012 did my first The Whole30 | Whole9 after attending the gym's Nutrition class, was so inspired and determined. In the beginning it was tough competing with 30+ years of not optimal eating habits and trying several failed diets, but I survived the 30 days and felt the difference in my body right away. Way more energy, better mood, better skin, no body or joint aches, no headaches, no sluggishness, no crazy cravings or emotional eating… Have been eating Paleo ever since then and it gets easier every day, even if I indulge every once in a while with some of my favorites (anything chocolate)!! I am ever so eager about continuing to educate myself about eating healthy and staying active… Reading "It Starts with Food" has been an eye opener.
Today I am 25lbs lighter, finally developing lean muscles (starting to show some guns baby!!), feeling better than ever, and a firm believer that this works!! And it's not just me, My Family made the transition too, which makes it way easier and fun, more rewarding too!! The Icing on the Cake… We are even inspiring other people to change their lives too… family, friends, co-workers…!! What an amazing feeling!!
Don't plan to look back… God willing I will be that badass old lady at The Box doing burpees, handstand push-ups, and everything in between! Plus coaching… Yep it will happen, and it'll be My Box too!! Call me Coach V!
As I was looking through my lame book of notes of WODs, I noticed I am approaching my 6 month of CrossFit! Which then began a reflection… I am 32 years old. Started running competitively at age 8. It was then I fell in love with hurdles and high jump, obviously my ups! Continued running through high school, qualifing for the international track tour (Jr Olympics, on the U.S. track team in '97) Ran in Sweden, placed 3rd in the 100m hurdles, and pr'd in the high jump at 5'6. Best experience of my life!! I thrive on competition, and want to be good!! Fast forward (promise I have a point) I get scholarship offers and head to Sam Houston State University to be a heptathalete! That goes nowhere, almost a year, didn't like the coach, he was very negative and not who recruited me. Anywho, my point, almost 13 years later I am back where I was lifting and stronger. My drive to be better is back. When I leave and reflect on a WOD, I think I could have done better, maybe lifted stronger! Thank You for having such a strong CrossFit box, they aren't all like this! So here's to another 6 months and goals to be achieved!!! I am a Silverback supporter all the way!!!
I was introduced to Crossfit by a friend; and was instantly hooked. I knew from the first day that this was not going to be easy but I was willing to give it 100%. Within 4 months, I've lost 49 lbs. I went from 270 lbs. to 221 lbs. Needless to say I had to buy a whole new wardrobe. I went from a 43 inch waist to a 34. Recently, I purchased my first suit since the weight loss. I couldn't believe it! I went from 52Long to a 44Long. I haven't been able to fit in a 44Long suit since my high school prom. I'm stronger, slimmer than I have ever been before. My wife and two boys love the new me.
I wouldn't have achieve these results if it wasn't for the knowledge, instructions and tough love that the trainers (Matt & Dick) provided. Also to my fellow athletes in the 6am class, that would motivate me to push myself physically and mentally to the next level. Thank you for literally picking me up off the ground after the WOD (workout of the day). CrossFit has changed the way I look at fitness and life. I enjoy the structure of the sport and that every day is something new. There is no room for boredom.
For the longest time I struggled with my weight. All I would ever do for exercise was run and I hated running. I never got anywhere with it. June 23,2012 I lost my Aunt who was like a mom to me . She was only 47. She left behind a 19 yr old and 25 yr old and three little grand babies. I couldn't let this be me I found Crossfit Silverback in September but didn't end up going till October 17. I walked out drenched in sweat and sore. Matt recommended Ibuprofen since I would be sore tomorrow. What worse then I already was. I went back and worked through the pain. Best choice ever. At Matts nutrition class he introduced me to Paleo and since then I haven't looked back here are the numbers
Weight: 205 to 166
Deadlift: 95 to 200 1RM
Pant size: 16/18 to a 12
Shirt size: XL to a M
Push ups: 0 to 13 unbroken
Burpees 1 min: 9 to 18
Overall I feel Crossfit Silverback saved my life. I'm not only losing weight but I'm healthy and fit. Ill be around longer for my five children. Ill be able to run and play with my grandkids and ill be able to make my family's quality of life better. Thank you Matt, Garrett, Zack, DJ, Dick and Val, for making me a better me. I'm still not the "weight" I want to be but it's just a number and im happier now when I look in the mirror. I'm stronger then I have ever been and I know that with Crossfit Silverback Ill soon reach my goal.
I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me over the last year. I walked into CFSB a little more than 80lbs over weight and couldnt do a single pullup if my life depended on it. Over the last year here is what happened:
Waist – went from 38-40in down to 32in waist
Shirts – went from XXL down to a large
Pull-ups – >1 now I can do 28 unassisted
Dead Lift – 395lbs to 480lbs (500lbs here we come)
Weight – 282lbs as of this morning I wieght 197lbs = 85LBS lost!!!
I could go on and on about the results that I have seen over the past year. My energy alone is through the roof I dont want to go sit on the couch and eat cookie dough anymore haha. I watch what I eat now and make the right decisions on nutrition (most of the time) all thanks to you. You have truely changed my life and I cannot thank you enough. Not only have you built a great box but everybody is like family. Thanks again for everything you have done and we will see you soon.
I had gone some 40+ years without knowing anything about Crossfit. I had a membership at a "globo gym" for a while I'd do my 45 minutes on the treadmill/elliptical, do a few sit-ups etc. and go home and was surprised that the weight wasn't coming off. I went to the first Saturday work out at Crossfit Silverback. I thought I would try it for a couple of weeks and see how it fit.
The first week was trying. I was learning new terminology and my body was learning new moves. I was so de-conditioned that all I did the first weeks were air squats, push ups against a bench, and ring rows in place of pull ups. Week by week I kept coming and little by little I improved. The bench push ups turned into push up against boxes, and one day Coach Matt said "Try a couple of girl push ups from the floor". I was amazed when I did it!!! I don't think I did girl push ups even when I was in elementary school. I am starting to do real pull ups (with a red band) and someday with no bands at all.
At the "globo" gym, I could look down and see the people working in the free weight area and it seemed like a different universe, now not only do I know what they are, I am really doing them! Another red letter day was when I deadlifted 200 lbs!
When I began, I did not weigh 200 lbs, but was so close to it I could touch it. Since starting CFSB, I have lost 20 lbs, but more important my body is getting toned and clothes that were sitting in the back of my closet are now getting a second life. I feel more energized and I sleep like a rock now.
I have experienced three things at this "box" that I did not get at my "globo" gym. First is that Matt knows who I am and what my assets and limitations are; and he motivates me to excel and improve. Second is a community of fellow athletes that encourage me during disappointments and celebrate my successes. I really don't consider them 'fellow athletes' at all; they are my friends and extended family. The third thing is to be an example to my children. When they come to the "box" while I workout, they see that being healthy is important and this is what mama does. This I did not get – or see – at my old gym.
I am still a work in progress but aren't we all? What I have learned about myself is that I can push myself past what I think I can do. Never get comfortable with routine – Routine is the enemy! Thank you Matt and everyone for helping me discover this new person. Now, WHO'S THE MAMA!!
Today was the finish of my 13 weeks of "trying" cross-fit and the numbers don't lie. Here they are:
60 – days of working out (minus two days / week rest and a few days missed due to weather or travel)
22 lbs – lost
34 – waist size of my pants moving towards 32
04:30 – a very familiar time in the morning
24 – vertical box jump
36 – days before my 52nd b-day
I am feeling leaner, stronger (body and mind), and more confident. Cross-fit knows no age or boundaries. No longer "trying" Cross-fit, living it.
I want to thank:
- my son, Zach for introducing me to Cross-fit.
- Matt for stopping me in mid-sentence that Saturday as I stated I wanted to go to the gym to get in shape … and working with me to re-ignite the fire inside. Keep yelling at me.
- to the Silverback community for being supportive and a great community
See you all at 05:00

I started slowly changing my lifestyle December 26, 2012. I didn't want it to be a "New Year's Resolution" because I was never able to be true to any previous resolution but I wanted to make a lifestyle change.
I was truly miserable and I avoided cameras completely. When a friend tagged me on Facebook in the picture on the left…I cried. The shirt I'm wearing isn't one of those cropped shirts, it was just so small it wouldn't stay down. I had gained so much weight that I could barely wear any of my clothes.
So I started making changes. Between the end of December to July, I lost about 38lbs by cleaning up my diet and doing mostly cardio.
I was talking to a friend of mine about my workout routine and he told me to try crossfit. I watched YouTube videos of Crossfit workouts, looked down at my body and thought I'd probably die if I even attempted anything like that. I even pulled into the Silverback parking lot one day and looked into the box to see people swinging kettle bells and doing burpees. The whole time I watched them I was amazed but at the same time all I could think was that I couldn't do any of this. I was never involved in sports or anything physical prior to my lifestyle change back in December. But my friend kept telling me I should try it so onAugust 5th I walked into the box and met Coach Matt. I was so nervous I was sick!
It only took a few days for me to fall into a love/hate relationship with Crossfit. The hate part is strictly for bear crawls and burpees. In three months, I have dropped 4 sizes and I've gained quite a bit on confidence. What amazes me the most is that my body can do things now that were impossible three months ago! I'm still the slowest turtle out there running, I still want to die when I'm bear crawling, but I'm better today than I was yesterday.
Mike's story speaks for itself. I would only add what a great job he does as a "quiet leader" you might want to slow down or give up, but you look over and see his effort and dedication and it makes you keep going. GREAT JOB MIKE!
"As someone who teaches and coaches young people for a living my struggle was not with knowing how to be healthy it was about actually doing it. I have always loved sports. Growing up I went from sport to sport based on what season it was. In college and for a few years after I had found rugby as my athletic outlet. But over time I found myself becoming less and less active.
In June of 2013 while on vacation I stepped on the scale and it read 293 lbs, that was unacceptable. Something was going to change. I knew that I needed to find someway to get active that was going to get monotonous and end in me giving it up after a few weeks. So I sent a message to co-worker and Crossfit Guru Sonya Cranford which simply said "Crossfit, convince me." She told me to give the free into class a try.
What I found Crossfit was not going to be easy, but it is the right kind of hard. The workouts are constantly varied which keeps it interesting and challenging. In 4+ months of eating right (just as important) and working with the great trainers and fellow athletes at Crossfit Silverback I have lost around 60 lbs, my pant size is down and my energy level is up."

That's right, Nathan "Carnage" Corbett will be facing off with Tyrone Spong at Glory 11, which takes place October 12th in Chicago.
Carnage and Spong first met at the Champions of Champions event in Jamaica, just over 4 years ago. The fight would produce one of the more bizarre endings in recent combat sports memory. To the people in here who are just hearing about this fight for the first time - don't Google it! I certainly won't spoil it for you. Just watch it for yourself, at the link below (tune in at around 6:14 to skip the formalities).
The scrap will most likely take co-main event status, as the rumored Heavyweight Grand Slam tournament will take place on the same night. In the wake of Semmy Schilt's sudden retirement, a new king must be crowned. A four-man, one-night tournament will be the method of determination, and the dance card for this tourney will feature such luminaries of violence as Daniel Ghita, Anderson "Braddock" Silva, Gokhan Saki, and Rico Verhoeven.
This is looking to be one of the greatest kickboxing cards of the year, and the fact that it'll be featured on Spike TV will show us if world-class kickboxing is dead on arrival in America, or just about to find it's stride. It'll also be very interesting to see if Spong can continue his dual-pronged blitzkrieg through both kickboxing and MMA, as he's slated to face the mid-level brawler Angel DeAnda at World Series Of Fighting 4 this weekend. No matter the outcome of that fight, I'll certainly be watching on October 12th.
Will you?

A friend of mine flew into Charlotte, NC a few nights ago and upon landing the Captain of the plane came over the intercom and announced that an American hero's remains had been on board and was returning home after having been missing in action in N. Korea for 61 years.
According to Times News:
The remains of a U.S. soldier, Cpl. William Ray Sluss, taken prisoner and declared missing in action during the Korean War returned home to Scott County Thursday for burial after being gone for nearly 61 years.
Born in 1929 to Otis and Zola Sluss, the Scott County native enlisted in the U.S. Army when he was 17 and served in the 38th Field Artillery Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, during the Korean War.
Sluss was captured by enemy forces on Nov. 30, 1950, near Kunu-ri, North Korea, and died at POW Camp 5 on April 30, 1951. According to a Military Times database, Sluss was among those prisoners not returned to the United States at the end of the war. He was declared dead in 1954.
Sluss was posthumously awarded a Prisoner of War Medal.
My friend told me that everyone on the plane was stunned. An Army officer then stood up and thanked everyone in advance for their patience and he proceeded to exit the plane. Outside of the window, the passengers could see the military men and women lined up awaiting this hero's return. And then a flag-draped coffin was removed from underneath the plane. He said the emotions were overwhelming for everyone that was aboard the plane. He said it was definitely an experience that he would never forget.
"We owe the utmost respect to any and all of those that have paid the supreme, ultimate sacrifice," said Cunningham, a combat veteran who served with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam. "We need to do what we can to show our respect and our regards in that manner."

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Physicians surround themselves with the latest in medical technology to keep up with the demands of patients who want to live longer, healthier lives but it's a different story when it comes to communicating with fellow health care professionals.
At least that is what former gaming company technology executive Sunny Tara and Henderson cardiac electrophysiologist Dr. Dhiraj Narula figured when they created docBeat, a smart phone app introduced in March that is designed to make it easier for doctors to contact one another.
For inspiration they looked at successful online communication tools such as Facebook and Twitter and proceeded on a mission to apply that technology to health care.
"There is a big gap in the tools doctors use to communicate," Tara said at his Henderson office. "If you look at what they use, it's still 1950s switchboard technology. Even though 90 percent of doctors have smart phones, they still use switchboards and pagers."
Doctors and nurses waste plenty of time tracking each other down or trying to contact other health care professionals, Tara said.
"If you make doctors more efficient, it will improve patient care," Tara said. "In the end we will all be winners."
The app, which is currently free to download from docbeatapp.com, can only be used by licensed physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. A key feature is that it allows the user to have a second, private telephone number through the same smart phone.
Users who belong to the app's network can communicate with each other through that second number. They will become informed whether the doctor or nurse they are trying to reach is immediately available or has someone else filling in for them, with a contact number conveniently attached.
Another feature is the ability to send secure text, such as sensitive patient information, in a way that is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, yet allows doctors to share input on a particular patient in a more timely manner.
"This is an amazingly simple yet handy solution for the vexing issue of trying to reach your peers in the medical field," said one of the nearly 200 users of the app. "I am sure this app will pick up and spread rapidly as hospital administrators recognize the cost effectiveness of this app and doctors realize they no longer have to wade into the unknown of figuring out who is available for cross referrals and how to get to them."
Sunny Tara, CEO and co-founder of docBeat, demos the app. Profile shown does not contain real doctor information.
The app also has a directory with the phone numbers of every hospital, physician and pharmacy in the United States, and can arrange those numbers by those closest geographically to the app user.
The way docBeat currently generates revenue is through in-app advertisements, such as from drug companies, that are targeted at particular medical specialists.
The plan at docBeat is to introduce a fee-based premium app in July. The company also is negotiating with hospitals to set up customized apps that could be used by all health care providers within those facilities. Also in store are upgrades to the app that will allow physicians to transmit secure medical records and photos to colleagues.
Tara and two app developers are the only full-time employees at docBeat. In addition to Narula, the company has six other developers and advisers on the team. But Tara, a native of India who became a top technology executive at both Harrah's Entertainment (now Caesars Entertainment Corp.) and Cantor Gaming, said docBeat has tremendous growth potential.
"We want to be the top player in communication collaboration with physicians," Tara said. "We think they want things that save them time and decrease their liability."

everything with a 9-volt battery.

Corrections and changes must be made. For the greedy dummies who don't grasp reality, give them the boot ! The taxpayers and public cannot be held hostage..,We are the employers, if workers don't like it, they can be replaced ! There are long lines waiting to replace them.

The creeps should simply take a reduced wage, pay higher medical costs, and forfeit their pensions. Who do they think they are? Don't they realize we have families to feed? I earn -- and I mean I EARN -- $750 grand per year (not including my stock options), and I and my family are strapped beyond belief. I'm flat broke. How do they expect us to live? Early this year we had to dip into the $10 million inheritance pot that my Daddy stipulated was only to be drawn from in the event of nuclear war. Do they have no sensitivity to how that has hurt me? They have no shame, sir! Well, these dock workers, these greedy dummies, are breaking my back and my Daddy is rolling over in his grave. They are monsters.

Adrian, regardless of your good fortune, that has zero to do with the mentality of extortion and holding the public hostage. Reality should be the rule, not personal greed.

While the women have yet to officially debut in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), mixed martial arts (MMA) fans are already clamoring for potential "super fight" between women's 135-pound champion Ronda Rousey and her nemesis, Cristiane Santos.
Rousey is currently scheduled to make her Octagon debut against Liz Carmouche in the main event of UFC 157 on Feb. 23, 2013, but the fight for which fans were truly hoping was Rousey vs. "Cyborg."
Unfortunately the match up could not take place because Santos' manager, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, stated last December that the Brazilian fighter was unable to safely make the 135-pound weight limit.
Little more than one month later, "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" has changed his tune ... sorta. On Tuesday's edition of "UFC Tonight" on FUEL TV, Ortiz said he wants Rousey vs. "Cyborg" to happen and he thinks Santos will be able to make the weight after being offered the help of famed nutritional expert Mike Dolce.
He stated:
"It's going to be tough [to make 135 pounds]. When she cuts to 145 pounds she's shredded. To cut another 10 pounds? I don't know. I've been cutting weight for almost 20 years -- it's tough to do. To get another extra 10 pounds off at the same time? If Mike Dolce can do it in a healthy way, a healthy manner, and a doctor can prove it can happen the right way, let the fight happen. I want to see the fight, I know the fans want to see the fight, so let's make it happen."
Ortiz said when he first started working with Santos, making 135 pounds appeared to be out of the realm of possibility, considering the Brazilian beast walks around upward of 170 pounds. Should Dolce's help be successful and "Cyborg" can safely make the cut, Ortiz would like the much-anticipated Rousey fight to happen eventually, but would like to see Santos get acclimated to the weight class before jumping into a championship fight.
His plan:
"When I first signed her, the first thing she said to me was that, 'I cannot make 135 [pounds]. I walk around at 172 to 173 pounds. And for a woman to cut that much weight -- and for "Cyborg" to be the champion as long as she has in her weight class -- to cut down to that weight seems like a disadvantage to her. Maybe let's get her a couple of warm up fights at 135. In the very beginning, [UFC} said cut down to 135 and you have two months to do it. I don't want to hurt my fighter and her future as champion. She is a champion, she still is a champion."
"Cyborg" (10-1, 1 NC) has not competed in mixed martial arts (MMA) since a December 2011 fight against Hiroko Yamanaka under the Strikeforce banner. The 27-year-old won the fight by first-round technical knockout; however, the result was later overturned to a "No Contest" when Santos tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol, resulting in a one-year suspension from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC).
Since the failed drug test many have questioned Santos' legitimacy of being a clean fight, but Ortiz insists the positive test was an isolated incident. Ortiz never failed a drug test in his 28-fight MMA career and says now that he is working with the former Strikeforce champion, no one has to worry about the result of a "Cyborg" drug test ever again.
His promise:
"Last year she got mixed up with a [banned] substance that one of her trainers turned her onto, but she has said it was her choice and her bad decision and she was willing to make that right claim. So, I'm going to put my name, my stamp on her to ensure that she'll never touch any of those things again and be the champion that she once was before."
Santos' suspension concluded in Dec. 2011, which means she can be booked for a fight at any time. Ortiz did not comment on his client's contract status with the UFC, but he said in a recent interview with Heidi Fang of "The MMA Fight Corner" that negotiations are "ongoing."
Ortiz has a tremendous amount of respect for Rousey, but if and when the fight materializes, he claims that "Cyborg" will be the one to hand "Rowdy" her first loss as a professional.
"Ronda Rousey is a great champion, she has a great name. Her attitude has completely changed. I watched her at the awards and when the spotlight is on you shine a little harder than you think you do. It's fine. She's a woman who deserves all the championship attention she can find at this point because when she fights "Cyborg" she will no longer be champion."
UFC 157: "Rousey vs. Carmouche" is headlined by the first-ever UFC women's bantamweight championship bout as Rousey attempts to defend her UFC title for the first time against Carmouche. Also announced for the card is a light heavyweight contender bout of Dan Henderson vs. Lyoto Machida and a bantamweight rematch between Urijah Faber and Ivan Menjivar.

Zoos Bring Animal Kingdom to Patients at Children's Hospital Los Angeles
- Details
- Created on Friday, 14 February 2014 13:19
- Written by IVN
Los Angeles, California - Today, in the presence of a rare California condor from the Los Angeles Zoo, a unique collaboration designed to entertain and educate patients and their families about wildlife was announced at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Funded by a generous gift by businessman and philanthropist T. Denny Sanford, Children's Hospital Los Angeles and San Diego Zoo Global announced the arrival of San Diego Zoo Kids in Los Angeles.
San Diego Zoo Kids is a television broadcast channel that features programming about unique and endangered animal species and is available on TV monitors in every patient room and waiting area.
"Children's Hospital Los Angeles is thrilled to be collaborating with the San Diego Zoo on this entertaining and educational partnership to benefit the hospital's pediatric patients," said Mary Dee Hacker, RN, MBA, NEA-BC, FAAN, vice president for patient care services at Children's Hospital. "The San Diego Zoo Kids channel will broadcast over the hospital's GetWellNetwork, which provides a variety of programming to our inpatients. The partnership also provides an excellent complement to our longstanding Amerman Family Foundation Dog Therapy Program that comforts thousands of patients every year. We want to thank Denny Sanford for making this possible and also recognize our local partner, the Los Angeles Zoo, for their support and for providing some of our lucky patients today with an up-close look at Dolly, a California condor."
The channel features video from the Zoo's famous Panda Cam as well as other live, online cameras, fun and educational pieces about a variety of animals and up-close video encounters of popular animals with the Zoo's national spokesperson, Rick Schwartz.
"We have always believed in the importance of putting people in touch with animals as a way to conserve species," said Doug Myers, president and CEO of San Diego Zoo Global. "What we have heard from medical care professionals is that animal interaction and animal stories can also help promote well-being. San Diego Zoo Global has a wealth of animal stories and, through the generosity of Denny Sanford, we are able to bring these stories to the families at Children's Hospital Los Angeles."
The event included a female California condor named Dolly, a resident of the Los Angeles Zoo who needed special medical care to help heal a broken wing. This rare bird's medical story is included in the programming of the television channel.
"The Los Angeles Zoo is very excited to collaborate with San Diego Zoo Global and Children's Hospital Los Angeles on this very important project," said John Lewis, director of the Los Angeles Zoo. "We chose to share the story of Dolly because we felt it could be an inspiration to the patients and their families."
San Diego Zoo Kids debuted at the Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego on December 18, 2013.

Life in prison; that's what the judge sentenced to Carl Ericsson, 73, for killing a former high school classmate in January.
Ericsson shot retired Madison teacher and track coach Norm Johnson on his doorstep as payback for a decades long grudge.
Lake County state's attorney Ken Meyer says Ericsson's motive was a locker room incident where a jock strap was put on his head by Johnson back when the two men were in high school.
Ericsson first admitted to killing Johnson one month ago in court. That was after a psychiatric evaluation confirmed his mental illness. On Friday, the court reconvened and the judge delivered his punishment.
With Ericsson's guilty plea he will spend the rest of his life behind bars. While the sentence is fair, the Johnson family says things will never be the same.
"We miss my dad very much, my whole family misses my father very much." Said Johnson's daughter Terri Wiblemo.
Both of Johnson's daughters gave statements to the court but their words were directed at Ericsson.
"I know you have no remorse for any of this your life has been filled with anger, jealousy, and a need for revenge. I truly pity your wife and your family because you've been such a coward." Said Beth Ribstein.
It was a claim Ericsson did not dispute. He spoke to the family members present in the courtroom, begging their forgiveness.
"I'd just like to tell Mrs. Johnson how very sorry I am for what I did. Her daughters put it plainly and I guess I feel the same way when I'm lying in my bunk. I just wish I could turn the calendar back to before it happened and that it wouldn't have happened." Said Ericsson.
It's been just four and a half months since this grudge killing took place. With Friday's ruling, for the Johnson family at least, justice may have finally been served.

Rwanda 'healing' a formula for peace
Original post made by Jeb Bing on Nov 22, 2009
Barris went to Rwanda on a fact-finding mission with a Christian ministry group called the Leadership Network to see first-hand the success the country's President Paul Kagame has had in ending the turmoil and rebuilding Rwanda into a first-class state. Where many neighboring African states and most Western countries had turned their heads as Rwandan rivals killed each other, Kagame was part of a UN-sponsored militia that went to Rwanda to stop the bloodshed. He stayed, was elected president and has gained in popularity because of the programs he and his team have initiated to bring peace and the start of democracy and prosperity to the troubled nation.
Particularly effective, Barris found, was a three-step process Kagame has adopted to empty the prisons of the tens of thousands seized in the aftermath of the 100 days of genocide by encouraging the villains to acknowledge their deeds, deal with what they did, regret it, find remorse and ask to be forgiven. Once they go through this process and are truly believed by their court counselors, they then can actually meet with their victim's family face-to-face where they apologize, talk about their pain in recognizing the horror of their actions and ask for the family's forgiveness. After hearing the bid for forgiveness it's then up to the victim's family to continue the process, talking directly to the perpetrator about the pain they have suffered, too, and then determining if they believe he is ready to start anew.
For Barris, it's an almost unbelievable process to work with those who have killed randomly in an effort at repentance, reconciliation and rehabilitation. He doubts that many of us could do the same if someone in our own family had been slaughtered by a marauding crusader. Yet he found thousands of Rwandans were putting the ugliness of the mid-1990s behind them and moving forward almost arm-in-arm with ethnic groups they had been taught to hate only a decade ago.
As an observer and with his colleagues, Barris wonders if Kagame's process of national healing could work here, say in the way we judge those responsible for the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl outside a Richmond High School gym a few weeks ago. Following Kagame's program, those guilty would still be punished but a process of reconciliation would also be undertaken with the perpetrators to see if any of them could acknowledged the evil of their actions. To do so might go a long way in helping the victim, the families, the high school, the Richmond community and even the perpetrator to move forward in a healing process. Right now, Barris points out, many are clamoring for justice, wanting the boys responsible to be tried, found guilty and punished. If one or more are truly repentant, Barris asks, should that also be a consideration in the legal outcome.
Barris learned that as part of rebuilding his country, Kagame also has declared every fourth Saturday a community service day. Rwandans are expected to spend three hours on those days doing something to make their community better--painting schools, picking up trash, sweeping the streets. The Tutsis and Hutus work together in this effort. In fact, no one is allowed to use those ethnic definitions publicly, with authorities making sure that all references to the population are that everyone is a Rwandan.
The success of the program has been widely acclaimed by the United Nations and many Western countries. But more importantly, Barris found, neighboring African states which he's also visited are seeing the effectiveness of the reconciliation program. They also like the way Rwanda has become a more democratic country with a government that, from Barris' perspective, is decent, ethical and representative of all its people. Barris found old and young proud of their country's accomplishments. They convey a national spirit he thinks would help Americans get along much better, too.
Barris shared his observations recently with the Centerpointe Presbyterian Church congregation along with a movie on the Rwandan reconciliation program. Since then, contributions have picked up for Rwandan projects that are helping in that effort. Barris believes this formula for peace could also much of the bickering and negativeness that's become rampant in America to make our own country a better place.

In my opinion, the situation remain combustible. The world looked away while the GENOCIDE continued. Whenever the world looks away, we are all at risk.

fyi...Obama's FCC Czar, Mark Lloyd, praised the Rwanda State-run media (esp. radio) for conducting such a successful genocide.
Web Link
On 10 June 2008 at the National Conference for Media Reform (NCMR) in Minneapolis, MN, now Obama FCC "Diversity" Czar Mark Lloyd spoke for the "Leadership Conference on Civil Rights."
Obama Czar Lloyd describes the Rwandan Hutu's use of its media in order to affect "social change" via genocide. Approximately 800,000 Tutsis were slaughtered in 100 days by the Hutu's. Lloyd says, "State radio in Rwanda was taken over by one tribe-one group-and they began to put out propaganda so that the Tutsis were targeted and what resulted...was essentially genocide in Rwanda. The State, or this particular tribe which controlled the radio, very purposefully moved to ensure they could 'do things.' Uh, their social change. Uh, in Venezuela and with Chavez really an incredible revolution 'democratic' revolution to begin to put in place things that are going to have an impact on the people of Venezuela. The property owners and the folks then controlling the media of Venezuela rebelled, worked frankly with folks here in the US government worked to oust him. But, he came back in another revolution!"
on Nov 22, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Chavez is a LUNATIC and my advice is for everybody to split asap. No lessons have been learned from the Holocaust and the risk for the murder and disappearance of Jews in Venezuela remains high. Tens of thousands of Jews have already left. Most American Jews believe that their brethren are safe...NOT!

What My Angry Critics Get Wrong About My Choice to Be Gay
February 06, 2014
I recently wrote in an essay for The New Republic that gayness is, at least for me, a choice. My critics' response was immediate and unanimous: That's impossible, they replied, because science has proven that gays are born that way.
David Hajdu on Music: Billboard Goddesses
April 20, 2012
Stardom isn't normal. It's familiar, even commonplace—ever-present not only in the realm of actors, singers, and other pop entertainers, but also in the overlapping circles of athletes, politicians, tech "visionaries," and ambiguously skilled celebrities-as-celebrities whom Americans love to ogle, aggrandize, belittle, and resent. The impulse to idolize is as old as the gods, of course. Jesus was a superstar some time before Andrew Lloyd Webber came around.
Small Signs of Life in the Grammy World
December 03, 2011
The music industry, whose economic status roughly mirrors that of Greece, is finally making once-unthinkable cutbacks in entitlements. The finalists for this year's Grammys were announced this week, and some hugely popular acts who by tradition would have been guaranteed nominations were shut out of the top categories. With the weakening of the corporate oligarchy of the old-line record companies, the nomination process has loosened up a bit for the good.
Oohs and Aaahs

Tony Bennett: The Complete Collection Sony Music More than thirty stars of contemporary or recent-vintage pop, rock, and country music sing with Tony Bennett on his two CDs of cross-generational collaborations, Duets and Duets II, the second of which was released shortly after Bennett's eighty-fifth birthday last summer. The albums are narratives of pilgrimage. Most of the guest singers, who include Lady Gaga and Faith Hill, are young or youngish; and the oldish ones, such as Paul McCartney and Aretha Franklin, are considerably younger than the singer who brought them together.
Tony Bennett Duets
September 16, 2011
A musical duet is no less susceptible to power dynamics than any other intimate collaboration between two partners. In creative terms, someone is usually on top. Even when figures of virtually equal standing join up, as Kanye West and Jay-Z did recently with their extravagantly produced and even more extravagantly hyped match-up, Watch the Throne, it's usually clear that one—in this case, Kanye—exerted more influence, if not quite dominance, over the other.
Lady Gaga: Born What Way?
February 11, 2011
Like everything Lady Gaga does, the hype campaign for her new single, "Born This Way," has been so grandiosely theatrical that it seems, simultaneously, like genius and a joke. Ever since the summer, she has been teasing concert audiences and interviewers about the record with the subtlety of a grindhouse mare, establishing the title as a catch phrase months before she revealed the song.

Here are my thoughts on the performance by the most hated man on the Ravens squad, Cam Cameron, during the 23-16 win over the Browns. I give a drive-by-drive analysis of what he called, then some general comments.
First drive: For some reason, Cam starts with a play action. I know this sometimes works (especially in older footage before the league became so passing oriented), but I've never understood it. In my opinion, you need to establish the run as a real threat before you can bait the other team into covering it using play action. The deep bomb to Torrey goes incomplete. Next play, Cam makes the right choice and runs it, letting Rice pick up 10 yards. Short passes on both sides don't do much, and a 3rd and 2 run by Rice gets stuffed. Probably still the right call, and a decent set of play calling corrects for the stupid first play. Punt.
Second drive: End around. I hate Cam so much right now. A couple Rice runs get stuffed, and with penalties, Ravens face 3rd and 22. Despite the pressure that's been coming, Cam opts for a slow-developing play, and Joe has to dump it off to Rice for just 8 yards. Punt, but the punishing hit on Cribbs leads to a fumble and the...
Third drive: This is classic Cam. Running hasn't worked well on two drives, so he gives Rice one more shot, and Rice picks up only 2. He's now got 4 carries for 10 yards. Rather than give Rice some time to develop his momentum, Cam decides that it's short pass left time! Three in a row bring us to the 10, but when Flacco tries to switch it up with a short pass right, he sends out an INT.
Fourth drive: Pierce is in to give Rice a breather (even though Rice hasn't been running, he's been catching a lot). His first two runs total 18 yards. That means Cleveland is on its heels and has to pull in its safeties to cover the run. Joe gets the individual matchups he wants downfield and completes long ones to Doss and Torrey. At that point, we're done running for a bit, and keep slinging it around until Torrey finds the endzone. TD.
Fifth drive: I really liked this drive, which mixed dump-offs and slants with runs in a nice blend. My only complaint is the 3rd and 7 attempt from the Cleveland 27, when Joe targeted Pitta in tough coverage in the endzone instead of going for a higher probability slant or something similar. FG.
Sixth drive: After a run and an incomplete deep pass, Joe gets sacked. The Browns had been turning up the pressure for a while, and I think that the failure to adjust by having some quick slants or outs on 3rd and 6 was a bit of a mistake. Punt.
Seventh drive: Rushing? What's rushing? Six consecutive pass plays, with two incompletions, and we only take 1:30 off the clock. Fortunately, the Browns couldn't capitalize, but I see no reason why they shouldn't have run on 2nd and 4 to eat some clock. Punt.
Eighth drive: Another slow-developing play in the face of Cleveland's pressure causes a 9 yard sack that basically eliminates any shot at a field goal. A bizarre checkdown to Ray Rice (why do we throw checkdowns to the middle of the field under 2 minutes?) goes nowhere and a couple junk time deep bombs fail. End of half.
First drive: Pass, pass, run; repeat. I don't mind patterns when they work, though. Rice got stuffed twice at the goal line but Joe brings it in. TD.
Second drive: Another slow-developing play (this time a flea flicker) gets completely blown up. Four pass attempts in a row (including on 3rd and 3), and then penalties put us so far back that we had to pass. The penalties were the real killer this drive; without the calls against Pitta and KO, the FG attempt is only 42 yards instead of 47. FG miss.
Third drive: Starts with a Rice run for 5 yards, then just passing, including another 3rd and 3 pass, which goes incomplete. Punt.
Fourth drive: This drive has a nice mix of runs and passes. Unfortunately, the receivers can't get open on 2nd and 9, forcing Joe to scramble for 0/take a sack without a loss, and the 3rd and 9 pass fails. The team also appears to be huddling on most plays now. Punt.
Fifth drive: We're completely out of the no-huddle now. Some runs by Rice don't go far (except a 21 yarder, which is called back by holding), but they cause Cleveland to use all of its timeouts. After the third timeout, we've got a 3rd and 3. What do we do? You guessed it: throw incomplete. The drive should have ended here with 1:55 left for Cleveland to score, but a very fortunate illegal contact keeps it alive. More runs by Rice get stuffed for 2 yards or less, and we end up punting and hoping our defense can handle things.
What it means: Cam still ignores our run game when it starts slowly. In four 3rd and 3 attempts, he passed all four times. I understand that Rice wasn't having a fantastic night on the ground -- he only put up 2.7 yards per carry for less than 50 total (although his average goes up to about 3.7 if you include the long one that got called back by Oher's hold). But Pierce was on fire, averaging 8.0 yards per carry. When you've got a situation like that, you need to make the adjustment and start featuring Pierce. Rice is a team player who knows how this game works, and frankly, if we can sit him for an entire game while Pierce runs all over a defense, then it's that much more wear and tear we avoid putting on Rice. Abandoning the run game can be particularly bad for clock management, and I think Cam made some terrible decisions in the last real drive in the first half when he left Cleveland too much time to score.
Cam also has trouble adjusting protection schemes. The Browns were pressuring Flacco all night, picking up 4 sacks total. In that situation, Cam called too many plays that take a long time to develop, resulting in sacks or checkdowns for no gain. When your QB is under pressure, that's the perfect time to use the no-huddle and pound a bunch of slants into the defense to force them back into coverage.
Finally, because of those two things, we weren't able to put points on the board. We had a very high EIGHT drives in the first half alone; they got us just nine points. Other than Cleveland's long drive for a TD, our defense played very well in the first half, but Cam couldn't get them the space they needed to start playing aggressively and force Weeden to make mistakes. As a result, they started to tire out in the second half and the Browns stayed in it.
That said, there were a couple drives that came together nicely, in which Cam used the run game to establish the passing game. Overall, though, this game looked like we were playing as a pass-first team, and when we do that, we generally don't have good results. We were lucky it came against the Browns.

A couple things from the rink today with the Sabres in town:
- Down a few pounds but playing terrific: Ryan Miller with some fun quotes on being thin and beating the Leafs every few weeks
- Leafs forward Matt Stajan weighs in on head shots after being head shot Saturday by Johnny Boychuk in a big win over the Bruins
Here's the Stajan blow in case you missed it:
A ton of debate at the rink today about this one, among players, reporters and now readers as the quotes come out. Stajan seemed a bit more outspoken initially when he was speaking to only two or three of us, but when the cavalry showed up, he backed off a little bit.
He clearly didn't enjoy going through the experience above, as you can imagine.
Me, I always come back to the fact that some 70 per cent of players want something done about dangerous checks to the head. Surely that has to count for something here and someone has to start giving that a voice.

CBS News Sunday Morning correspondent Bill Geist profiled New Orleans' favorite sandwich, and the popular festival that celebrates it, on Sunday's broadcast. Click here for a link to the video segment.
The people of New Orleans take their food seriously, and no food is taken more seriously than the Po-Boy sandwich. The Po-Boy is not only a tasty and messy sandwich, it is a part of New Orleans' culture and history. It is so revered that they've created the Po-Boy Preservation Society (whose battle cry is "Save Our Sandwich") to try to guarantee the survival of their beloved Po-Boy.
Last weekend, an estimated 45,000 hungry people came out to honor and taste this sandwich at the New Orleans Po-Boy Festival, where traditional Roast Beef and Fried Shrimp Po-Boys were available alongside unusual, exotic new creations, like Sashimi and Smoked Duck Po-Boys. Descendants of the first families of Po-Boys were on hand to discuss Po-Boy history and reminisce - about the men that created the first Po-Boy, and the baker of the French bread that has come to be the key ingredient in any Po-Boy.
Panel discussions were held to discuss the preservation of their Po-Boy. Bill Geist went to New Orleans to taste for himself, and to find out why this sandwich that has survived challenges like Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf oil spill is so important to the people of New Orleans.

An oasis in the big city.
June 23, 2008
What a great boat! I just finished a great paddle in my Trak. Where else can you get away on the water within 5 minutes of downtown.
Best use is for travel
March 08, 2010
paddled two of these boats, first was real bad quality, second was just bad. The wrinkles in the skin are unacceptable. Rear bulkhead deforms almost to collapse when "Jacked" They have a good idea but execution is weak. Color choice is also weak
Black, Deep Red, Green/ White and Yellow Gold.
We're Available:
Mon-Fri: 7:30am-4:00pm PST
Sat-Sun: CLOSED

Vietnamese Martyrs Catholic Church in Arlington, Texas
"Immigrants sacrifice to provide quality materials ," says New Oxford Review in linking to the story — Huge Vietnamese Catholic church to be dedicated in Arlington. (It reminds me a lot of the newly-built parish I left behind in Korea — 천주교 대구대교구 지곡성당. Here are some images of the parish's first mass — Christmas Eve Midnight Mass at Jigok Catholic Church.)
