Jake's Daughter, Raging Belle Stephanie Lamotta, Puts on the Gloves to Fight Her Disabling Disease
LaMotta, 33, clearly has the breeding for it. She is, after all, the daughter of Jake LaMotta, 68, the former middleweight champ whose life was depicted in Martin Scorsese's 1980 film, Raging Bull. Like her father, she has taken some hard knocks, and like him, too, she has never gone down for the count. For more than a decade, her opponent has been multiple sclerosis, an incurable, potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system that affects 250,000 Americans.
This spring she will release Stephanie La-Motta's Boxersize Workout, a video featuring the fitness routine she developed from boxing techniques her father taught her. Then she will marry her boyfriend of one year, French-born guitarist Jacques Dreyfus, 26. "You're born and dealt a hand of cards and have no choice but to play them," LaMotta says. "MS doesn't affect me because I don't allow it to."
Growing up in Manhattan with her dad and her mother, Dimitria (the fourth of Jake's six wives), LaMotta had her own first fighting tutorial when she was 12, after losing a schoolyard face-off with a girl who accused her of trying to steal a boyfriend. Jake quickly decided on some first hand instruction. "He taught me how to box right then and there." ' she says, "He said, 'You have to know how to defend yourself.' "
But Jake couldn't do anything to prepare her for her biggest bout a few years later. In 1979. while working in London as a guitarist, actress and model, LaMotta began suffering fatigue and a loss of coordination. Soon after, on a trip to Vienna and Greece with her then boyfriend. Ringo Starr, her eyesight began to fail. LaMotta rushed back to New York but soon found herself both completely blind and paralyzed on the left side of her body.
Because MS can resemble other diseases, doctors initially had trouble diagnosing her illness. Dunitria stood by her daughters bedside urging her not to give up. ("The woman never lost it for a second until it was all over," says Stephanie.) Jake, who broke down in tears when the disease was finally diagnosed, also stood watch. "I told her to believe." he says. "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."
After about a year, the illness suddenly started into remission. Stephanie regained sight in her right eye and started gym workouts with her father. Later she began taking walks in Central Park—at first with her mother and then by herself, dragging her left foot. Today, with her sight fully restored. Stephanie is mostly free of serious symptoms, though she occasionally suffers weakness in her knees, numbness and slurred speech.
Despite these difficulties, LaMotta isn't complaining; she says she has had plenty of good times in her life. She thought Raging Bull, which taught a whole new generation about her father's triumphs, was a great film, but insists her dad is nothing like the brute played by Robert De Niro. "He's the kind of guy who would help an old lady across the street," she says. "He used to cook dinner for the family."
And then there's Jacques, whom she met after moving to L.A. in 1986 to resume her acting career. He was between gigs and temporarily working at the stable where LaMotta keeps her horse. Even before they'd been introduced, he announced to his coworkers that he planned to marry her. "I thought, 'What an arrogant Frenchman! I will never go out with this guy. Never!' " she recalls. A few months later they were dating. Late one night, after a fully clothed swimming pool romp, Jacques lacked dry attire and stayed over. Soon they were living together. Now they share a two-bedroom Hollywood Hills apartment where LaMotta keeps a couple of punching bags and her gloves in the living room.
And anytime she needs him, he is at her side. When she falters from fatigue, he says, "I carry her to bed and I give her a cup of tea." Usually, though, LaMotta acts more like a dynamo. She rises at 5:30 A.M. to tend her horse. She auditions regularly for acting parts in commercials (she has appeared in ads for Taco Bell and Agree Shampoo, among others), and she trains about 45 clients in Boxersize—a regimen she developed six years ago. Between rounds, she serves as a spokesperson for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Last year, while taking part in the annual MS Walkathon, she finished the 15th and final mile on her knees rather than quit.
That was typical of Stephanie, who is looking forward to having kids and a home in Connecticut where she can both stable a horse and pursue an acting career in nearby Manhattan. "I celebrate every day," she says. "Because of the blindness I suffered. I appreciate every color, tree and flower. I don't take anything for granted, not even one hour."

Best Uses
I loved this and it was the perfect addition to our ice cream shop chili cook-off booth. I did have to use the double sided adhesive provided to attaché the sides in the corner of our booth just to keep the milk shake standing. Some support to counter act the bendable lines necessary to ship the product is recommended. Or be prepared and bring a couple of dowel rods, etc. Everyone loved the look though, so with the adaptation, I highly recommend.

President Barack Obama will meet Tuesday with Israeli and Palestinian leaders before holding three-way talks, but expectations for progress on issues like Jewish settlements are low.
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas head to New York for meetings with Obama, West Bank residents Jay and Dena Bailey are watching closely. The couple moved from New York to the West Bank 15 years ago and are among 300,000 Jews living there. They hope their three children will also raise families there, but for that to happen, settlements in the West Bank must grow. Six months ago Obama called on Israel to halt construction there-- a move that did not go over well in the Bailey house.
"If you're interested in Israel you should come examine our healthcare system rather than our settlements," Dena said. The land was captured by Israel in 1967 during the Six Day War. Palestinians want it for their own state.
A freeze on new growth in the West Bank was part of the U.S.-backed "road map" for peace accepted by Israel and the Palestinians six years ago. Yet, new Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyau is firmly opposed to freezing construction.
"Believe me Arabs and Muslims are asking one question," said Saeb Erekat, Chief Palestinian negotiator. "If President Obama cannot have Mr Netanyahu stop settlement activities who will believe the President Obama can convince Netanyahu to pull back to 67 borders or to establish a Palestinian state?"
"Even if there were to be a settlement freeze, even if we were to pick up and move out, whether all of a sudden they would say, 'Ok! We're happy to have you living side by side.' Israel's right to exist in the first place, we can't get that sentence out of their mouths," Jay said.
At prayers Sunday, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said no one is authorized to sign an agreement obligating Palestinians to anything. Hamas controls Gaza and is considered an impediment to the peace process. President Obama's spokesman says, "We have no great expectations" for the meeting. The administration is simply working to make progress towards resuming peace talks. The Baileys will be watching.
"It's very difficult to point to one group in one place and say, you don't belong here," Jay said.

This book is an attempt to answer the question: "Just what does anthropology have to offer to parent-child care?" To do this, the book is organized into ten chapters; the first is an attempt to answer the question in a general way, the nine following chapters, each answering the question in terms of a specific culture that health care providers can encounter in the United States. Each chapter is written by a nurse who grew up as a member of that culture. The cultures covered are middle-class American, American Indian, Black American, Japanese American, Chinese American, Filipino American, Mexican American, Puerto Rican, and Vietnamese American.
This book repeatedly demonstrates how culture-specific knowledge can help the health care professional conduct a visit in a way that is culture compatible and can make it likely that the patient will both understand and follow the treatment recommendations. For instance, knowledge of traditional greeting

Literally the day I posted an article about how the Minnesota Vikings had reached out to their former defensive tackle, Kevin Williams, to possibly re-sign with them, he pretty much announced he was going to sign with the Seattle Seahawks instead. And I ended up looking like a dog's butthole.
However, what's worse; looking like a dog's butthole or looking like you just killed one of your former players for signing with another team on social media?
Because that's what the Vikings did on Wednesday where they posted the above picture of Kevin Williams to their Facebook page, thanking him for his time as a Viking. The provided a link to the following quote from Rick Spielman, waxing poetics about Kevin Williams as well:
"Kevin Williams earned a place in Vikings history and continued the proud tradition of great defensive linemen to wear purple. Kevin's work ethic, humility and team-first approach is a model for younger players. A 6-time Pro Bowler and 5-time 1st-Team All-Pro, Kevin was honored as an NFL All-Decade player for the 2000s along with a spot on the 50 Greatest Vikings squad. We wish him the best and will always count him as a member of the Vikings family."
Now tell me that doesn't read like a eulogy.
If anything, Kevin Williams signing with Seattle is more a rebirth, rather than a Vikings death. He has a chance at a Super Bowl, instead of another season watching Christian Ponder throw popcorn puffs to defenders.
But my god, the dude didn't die. He just signed with another team. You don't create a photoshopped image with a fade-to-white background for a guy that just left the team. I mean, we didn't do this with Jared Allen, and – while he of course wasn't a life long Vikings – he probably was just as loved and had just as big of an impact. Or what about Randy Moss? Or Daunte Culpepper? Or Chris Cook?! Play fair, Vikings, and wish them all a good death, or don't play at all!
Franchises are weird, man, especially this one.

The GOP, Gas Prices & the Values Game

One more round on gas prices. Ed says there are lots of things the president could do to affect gas prices, but, like many, he doesn't enumerate them beyond more drilling, which the president has approved, and Keystone, which balanced observers think would have a negligible impact on gas prices when it comes on line in several years. . .

The honor this week for Lake County Schools Student-Athlete goes to Litisha Speights, a senior at East Ridge High School.
Each week Lake County Schools chooses a student who embodies a dedication to athletics as well as academics and extracurricular activities.
Litisha Speights is a two-letter sport athlete, one year of Varsity Volleyball and two years of Varsity Basketball. She is also the basketball team Co-Captain.
Speights is a dedicated student athlete who leads by example. She became this pillar of example for the girls' basketball team by dedicating herself to weight training, nutrition and working on her post moves during the off-season. As a result, she lost over 70 pounds, and has developed into one of the top inside scorers in Lake County and the state, helping to keep the Lady Knights in championship contention with her consistent output on the court.
She led the Lady Knights to its first district finals in 11 years with a win over Osceola High School, contributing 16 points and 10 rebounds. She is currently averaging 17 points per game, 13 rebounds per game, helping the Lady Knights get to a 21-4 record.
Speights also excels in the classroom with a 3.9 GPA, a regular on the honor roll, and currently volunteers at Cooper Memorial Library. She plans to attend college and major in Early Childhood Education.
She is the daughter of proud mother, Mary Frazier. According to the East Ridge High coaching staff, "Litisha is a great leader for her team and East Ridge. Litisha leads not just in words, but in her actions as well. She is a great person to be around, and it is a joy to coach her."

Being diagnosed with a rare and untreatable medical condition initially left painter Jane Robinson feeling depressed.
However, the process of dealing with situation sparked creativity that's changed her overall outlook on life.
Robinson has Alopecia areata, an autoimmune deficiency that causes periodic hair loss, which can be extreme at times. She has lost all of her hair in the past, although it has grown back, and most recently lost her eyebrows.
Robinson began exploring the works of Greek philosopher Epicurus, who felt it was import to savor life's simple pleasures on a daily basis, like art, food and quiet walks. About six months ago, she started a blog called Art Epicurean (artepicurean.blogspot.com).
Q: Did your interest in art start an early age, or did it develop later on?
A: My story is probably typical of a lot of people. I was considered artistic when I was young ... but once I left high school, that was it. Once my (two) daughters grew up and I had an empty nest, I took an art workshop. The next day I bought art supplies, and the rest is history.
What did you do after high school?
A: I went to Spring Arbor (University) and ended up working inside the prison, where I met my husband (Steve, who now heads the Jackson County Parole Office). I was a probation officer. I left that job to take the job at the Armory (Arts Project).
I think the biggest positive (from working at Armory Arts) was all the creative energy of being around other artists from all different walks and the learning the experience. (Robinson is now the Development Coordinator at the Center for Family Health.)
How did your medical condition affect you?
My hair started falling out, and doctors didn't know what to do or what it was. I took a trip to Florida to kind of get away from things. We started taking walks on the beach and going out for dinner. I thought 'These are the things are important — the small luxuries of life.' It had a profound effect on me and my art. Since then, I think I've been creating my best work, and I've been selling more of it. There's no known cure, and it's something I'm going to have to deal with, but it's important to focus on the things in life you enjoy.
How's the blog going?
Really well. Almost everyday I get somebody new contacting me and making a beautiful comment. It's nice to have a two-way conversation about art instead of just painting.
I expanded it a step further recently from painting and eating and other everyday luxuries of life to include a small lesson on creativity or focusing on the right things. That's probably become the most engaging part.

It isn't easy to bring a molecular compound through the gauntlet of preclinical development, clinical trials, and marketing. The process can take up to 10 years and hundreds of millions of dollars to complete. In today's incredibly competitive industry, even minor setbacks can be the difference between being the first to market or just another competitor. Why do companies even try? Well, if a therapy proves to be safe and effective and a company can successfully market its product, the payoff could be huge.

You're just at the mercy of where the water's taking you. BECAUSE HER RESCUERS, WERE PREPARED FOR THE WORST. We have seven fire stations that are assigned to our flood channel rescue system. The Albuquerque Fire Department has a very strict procedure for arroyo rescues. It's kind of like football. They're tossing to a moving target...like a quarterback tossing to a receiver. IF YOU'RE IN THE ARROYO...YOU'RE THE RECEIVER. AND...YOU YOU NEED TO ACT FAST. GRAB THE ROPE AND PULL YOURSELF TOWARD YOUR RESCUER. ...water moving at about the knee level at that speed exerts more than five-hundred pounds of force. THIS FAST FORCE... MEANS EVERY SECOND COUNTS. SO...YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO YOUR RESCUERS, AND QUICKLY REACT. ...we haven't had a fatality in the arroyos for a few years. So...we've been very successful. BYRON MORTON. Part of my job is to make sure people are safe. And...if they're in trouble to help them. And...I just... instinct to go in there and help. K-O-A-T ACTION SEVEN NEWS. THE ALBUQUERQUE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE GIRL HAS A LOT OF SCRAPES AND BRUISES... BUT WILL BE OKAY. REHABILITATION WORK IS NOW COMPLETE IN AN AREA OF THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST THAT WAS CHARRED BY WILDFIRE EARLIER THIS YEAR.
