Unified Wireless offers SESCAM a feature-rich replacement for traditional healthcare communications systems
Business Challenge
The Servicio de Salud de Castilla-La Mancha (SESCAM); literally, Health Service of Castile-La Mancha serves what is perhaps the most emblematic autonomous community of Spain: the windswept La Mancha region which was the backdrop to Cervantes's famous novel, Don Quixote. Delivering healthcare to a population of more than 1.8 million people (according to figures from 2005, making Castile-La Mancha the ninth-largest community in Spain by population and third-largest by area), SESCAM is not, however, `tilting at windmills'.
In recent years, SESCAM has opted to include market-leading technology in the specification for its new hospitals, and in the last four cases the Cisco® Unified Wireless Network has played an important part in the delivery of service to patients and, in general, to all healthcare users and professionals.
SESCAM first became interested in wireless LAN as a way of replacing pagers, a time-honoured communications system in the medical profession that was coming to the end of its commercial life, with something that would offer additional functions such as message reception, access to corporate applications and voice.
In addition, SESCAM was aware of the benefits of localization systems and was trying to implement new methods for tracking medical equipment and even personnel, including patients who for medical reasons might need to be located if they wandered away from their wards, all without having to install and run a separate network for this purpose.
SESCAM first introduced a Cisco Unified Wireless Network at the Hospital General de Ciudad Real (Ciudad Real General Hospital), a 540-bed new-build facility serving the capital of the province of Ciudad Real, with a population of more than 69,000.
The Ciudad Real deployment has subsequently been used as an example in terms of network design, with improvements in newer hospitals to include, for example, location-based services.
Throughout these deployments, SESCAM wanted not only to make the most of wireless technology to deliver improved, more responsive services to patients, but at the same time help ensure that security and reliability would not be compromised.
Network Solution
Anticipating the demise of the pager as a communications technology, when SESCAM started designing the communications infrastructure for the Hospital General de Ciudad Real in 2005 it sought to find a replacement that would offer at least that same standard of service.
Indra Redes, the systems integrator tasked with creating the IT infrastructure for the hospital, wanted to use the latest available technology in building what SESCAM hoped would be a national and international reference point for new services in healthcare. As a result, Indra Redes proposed a Wi-Fi network that would support high-bandwidth and delay-sensitive applications such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video transport.
As a Cisco Gold Certified Partner and former Gold Partner of the Year award winner, with a strong working relationship with Cisco and specialist experience in assembling easily-deployed systems, Indra Redes had no hesitation in recommending Cisco technology for the project.
"Our main concern was availability of the network since communications are critical in our centers and we could not afford to have the network out of service," says Rafael Nuñez, head of communications for SESCAM.
A total of 256 Cisco Aironet® 1131 and 1232 Series wireless access points were distributed across the hospital's six floors, supporting 140 Wireless IP Phones within the Cisco unified solution. In addition, 450 desktop Cisco IP Phones provide service over the same infrastructure.
The wireless infrastructure implemented in the hospital complements a 720 Mbps, 3840-port network featuring a range of Cisco technologies, including Cisco Supervisor Engines, Catalyst® Series Switches and Cisco routers, distributed across 44 cabling cabinets.
"Wi-Fi has allowed us to integrate a whole range of functions into a single handheld device, making it far more effective than the simple functionality offered by pagers."
-Rafael Nuñez, Head of communications, SESCAM
The Cisco Unified Wireless Network also allows SESCAM to configure its Nokia E61 and E65 series mobile handsets for dual-mode use. Dual-mode phones are terminals that can connect to the WLAN when on campus for collaboration and business applications but switch to the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) cellular network while on the road or, if needed, as a backup.
SESCAM is currently piloting this mode of communication, using the functionality available on the Cisco technology to assign a single telephone number to each healthcare professional (and thus eliminating separate numbers for mobile, wireless or desktop communications), supported by a cluster of Cisco Unified Communications Managers.
Although the main purpose of the Wi-Fi infrastructure at Ciudad Real is to replace pagers before they become obsolete and suffer from lack of vendor support, the network overall supports a wide range of medical applications for citizens, including, for example, the transfer of X-ray and other patient files in digital format to cut down on paperwork.
Here, says Rafael Peñalver, physician and General Secretary of SESCAM, "We have reduced the use of X-ray material by 90 per cent and the introduction of an electronic patient record system has reduced the overall amount of information by 15 percent, thanks to the removal of duplicate records."
The Wi-Fi capability of the network also enables medical staff to retrieve, update, and file patient records while carrying out visits, using a personal digital assistant or tablet PC.
This service improves accuracy and responsiveness, both important factors in improving care, by cutting out errors caused by handwritten notes and helping ensure updates to patient records are recorded at the same time that they are made.
Ciudad Real's IT infrastructure, completed in 2006, has been so successful that it has served as a model for all of SESCAM's other hospital projects to date-in Almansa, Villarrobledo and Tomelloso. With these newer centers, however, SESCAM has updated and improved on the original Ciudad Real IT design, for example by using more powerful switches from the Cisco Catalyst range.
On the Wi-Fi side, the most important addition at Almansa, Villarrobledo, and Tomelloso has been to introduce location-based services, where the wireless network is used to locate people and objects using Radio Frequency identification (RFID) tags. "Medical equipment can now be found in the event of any medical emergency," says Ambrosio Rodríguez, head of Information Technologies. "Previously, precious minutes might be wasted looking for life-saving equipment. Now we know straight away whether the unit or device we need is available, and where to find it."
Business Results
SESCAM has no doubt that the Wi-Fi networks across the Ciudad Real, Almansa, Villarrobledo, and Tomelloso hospitals have added value.
"Even though our hospital personnel were used to using the pager as their main means of communication, we have had a 100 percent success in replacing these terminals with IP phones for our medical staff in Ciudad Real," says Rodríguez.
"It was vital for us to find an alternative because pager companies are disappearing, and with dual-mode phones, covering Wi-Fi and GSM, we have been able to completely substitute this outmoded technology. We still have all the functionality of before, plus we voice and data capabilities in the same device."
Not only have pager messages been completely superseded by short message service texts, but the handsets can also deliver an alarm in the event of a patient requiring assistance, making it easier to provide a better service to patients.
The Location Solution has also enabled SESCAM to introduce applications such as Guide-Me, which tells patients with disabilities which routes they have to take to find their way around the hospital, for example for medical examinations or for consultations with specialists in different locations.
Running VoIP over the Wi-Fi network has helped SESCAM reduce its call costs but, says Nuñez, it was also crucial to have reliability and security.
And its security extends to access to data, which is an important consideration given the need for patient confidentiality and the fact that one of the hospitals is next door to a university, from where it would potentially be easier to launch hacker attacks.
"Right now, wireless is one of the most popular technologies for our hospitals because of the range of new services and applications it allows us to offer," says Ambrosio Rodríguez.
Next Steps
Besides the planned extension of the location solution to include the Hospital General de Ciudad Real, SESCAM is continuing to look into new location-based applications, using feedback from medical staff and patients.
In addition, the healthcare provider is committed to including wireless in its future hospital development plans. "Wi-Fi changes the concept of the facility, allowing us to integrate a whole range of functions into a single handheld device, making it far more effective than the simple functionality offered by pagers," says Nuñez.

A WEST Malvern couple will this weekend be celebrating 60 years of happy marriage.
John and Jean Mobbs were both born in Reading in 1932, but since 1965 have called Malvern home after Mr Mobbs's career with a chemical company brought them to the Midlands.
"John was based in Birmingham, but we didn't want to live there, and we knew Malvern from visits when we were younger, so we decided to live here, because it's so beautiful," said Mrs Mobbs.
The two knew each other from a young age, as Mr Mobbs used to play cards with his future wife's brother, but they date their relationship from a meeting on the banks on the river Thames, when Mrs Mobbs, a champion swimmer, was on the way to a swimming pool. Her future husband was also sporty, playing rugby and teaching as a Lawn Tennis Association coach.
After getting married in 1954 and moving to Malvern, the couple raised their three sons and, for about 25 years, successfully ran the Rock House guest house in West Malvern.
They have now retired but still live close to Rock House, which is now a private home occupied by one of their sons.
"We spend a lot of lime with our grandchildren, which we love," said Mrs Mobbs.
And the secret of a long and happy marriage? "Tolerance, compromise and patience," said Mrs Mobbs.

LOS ANGELES - AUGUST 27: Abner Mares celebrates his victory against opponent Carlos Fulgencio on August 27, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jacob de Golish/Getty Images)
Showtime's World Championship Boxing returns Saturday night as Abner Mares, the winner of Showtime's Bantamweight tournament, moves up in weight to take on Eric Morel. The winner will claim the vacant WBC junior featherweight title. The fight is part of a doubleheader at El Paso, Texas, that also features Anselmo Moreno's WBA bantamweight title defense against David De La Mora. The Mares-Morel winner grabs a title in an increasingly hot junior featherweight division. Should Bob Arum be willing to cross promote, that champion would make an attractive opponent for Nonito Donaire or Guillermo Rigondeaux, the WBO and WBA junior featherweight champions, respectively. Should Donaire or Rigondeaux become unavailable, the winner might be forced eventually to take on Toshiaki Nishioka, the man who was stripped of the WBC title and made "champion emeritus" and who should have first rights to the next champion. Mares is only beginning to mature as a fighter, yet he has already captured a wo...

MR Light Bulbs
A multifaceted reflector (MR) light bulb is a format for halogen bulbs, made by a variety of manufacturers. MR lamps were originally designed for use in slide projectors, but are now used in applications including residential lighting and retail lighting.
MR bulbs are one of the most widely used light bulbs. MR bulbs, or multi-faceted reflector bulbs, are used in a multitude of industries and applications including medical endoscopes, a DJ's lighting rig, and overhead projectors. Odds are you have seen MR bulbs before, but don't realize it.
The number in the MR bulbs title correlates to the length of the bulb's diameter, each digit equals one-eighth of an inch. For example, the MR11 bulbs are 11/8 inch in diameter, or 1 3/8 inches; likewise, a MR8 bulb is 8/8 inch in diameter, or 1 inch. MR bulbs come in many different sizes from the very common MR16 bulbs, to the somewhat common MR8 bulbs and MR11 bulbs, to the less widely known MR13 bulbs and MR18 bulbs.
MR bulbs also come in a variety of colors, these MR colored bulbs are commonly seen in DJ lighting rigs and concert lighting. MR colored bulbs are also used during a variety of events such as haunted houses at Halloween and Fall festival plays at schools.

TWO wins – five goals for one against – six vital points – James Norwood signing a contract extension and healthy publicity on national TV! A very good week for David Hockaday, Dale Vince and all at FGR.
It would be wrong to claim all the football was thrilling, but both matches contained fine sweeping moves, which could have brought more goals. There was however passages of loose play as concentration seemed to be lost. No one should complain however. The garnering of maximum points from two potential banana skins should please everyone.
One major fault has been eradicated. The team now start at full blast. Straight from the kick- off they are going for the jugular. Braintree did not know what had hit them on Tuesday evening. For the first half an hour they were overwhelmed. Rovers scored only once however and after a lengthy injury stoppage Braintree came into the game and equalised. Rovers had to win the game all over again in the second half – the 4-1 scoreline shows how well they responded.
Saturday was similar, but this time the drama started before the kick off. Dale Bennet turn his ankle during the warm up. There were hurried consultations and Ed Asafu-Adjaye was summoned to take his place. A further summons went to O J Koroma who was settling down to watch the game in the Carol Embrey Suite; he became the fifth substitute.
After the first 10 minutes we could have been 3-0 up. Yan, usually so ruthless, missed a penalty and other easy chances were spurned. Instead of being game over it was a battle.
This column has constantly said you make your own luck and this is what our team are now doing. They dig deep, show determination, character and team spirit – call it what you will – resilience might be the best word but the bottom line is they have the will to win. The results prove it. Teenage sub Saul Williams impressed me. He found space used it well and played with dash and confidence. Also impressive was the way his appearance was greeted by his colleagues. First of all the management staff especially mentor Scott Bartlett wished him well on the touchline, then as he ran onto the pitch players near him patted him on the back or had a cheery word. He knew from the outset he was among friends. The spirit of the whole squad, something that is of infinite value was so obvious.
Two players – amongst all the others of course – demonstrate the FGR spirit so well – Paul Green and Matt Taylor. In the last two matches Paul has been inspiring, both in defence and attack. He is a real competitor, exactly as the manager described him when he joined the club.
Matt is a key player in the 4-3-3- formation. Winning the ball, holding it and being a platform on which to build is a key part in his job, but his success in doing this helps the defence. Battling Matt, because of his ability and strength prevents the ball being played straight back into a danger area. He takes the pressure off the defence. His value to the team is immense. Hopefully his dead leg will not keep him out for long.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Have you ever been introduced to someone and then forgotten their name a minute later? Here's a little tip to help you remember. When you are introduced, make an effort to repeat their name out loud.
For example:
"It's nice to meet you, Bruce. My name is..." or
"My sister's name is Karin too!"
By just saying their name out loud, you will be reinforcing it in your memory and it will be much more difficult to forget. If you can link it to someone else that you know (like your sister in the above example), you will have one more way to help you remember.

Gaseous WaterScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Can you show someone gaseous water using apparatus found in a standard kitchen? Explain.
AnswerYou can't! Gaseous water is invisible. The steamy mist you see coming out of a boiling kettle or any boiling water is actually liquid water formed when hot gaseous water comes into contact with the cooler air. The liquid water condenses into minute droplets and this is what we see as "steam".

COUNCIL bosses have this week outlined to the government how they intend to hit housing targets over the next two decades - with a review of green belt land set to take place to help them meet them.
Parts of the green belt could be used for redevelopment to ensure Chiltern District Council can meet targets for the number of houses that need to be built by 2036.
Councillors have said previously the proposals, which form part of the authority's Delivery Development Plan Document, are only being put forward reluctantly.
But members unanimously agreed on Tuesday to submit the proposals to the Planning Inspectorate for Examination in Public, which will establish if they are legally sound.
Large parts of the Chiltern district is green belt land and the authority is looking to develop sites which may no longer fit the special criteria.
No sites that could potentially be taken out of the green belt have so far been formally identified by councillors however, with a public consultation on the proposals planned.
Council Leader Isobel Darby said failing to get approval for the housing plans would put the authority "in an extremely vulnerable position, with our ability to control development in the district severely weakened".
She said: "We know there is a shortage of suitable land for housing nationally and we are required, along with other local authorities, to prepare a new plan to cover our housing requirement up to 2036. As part of this plan we are required to consider whether parts of the green belt should be released for future development plans.
"We need to protect our district from developers being able to build anywhere they like - a careful and sensible review of the green belt now, which involves our residents, will enable us to do this.
"Whilst protection of the green belt remains a priority for this council, we accept the need for a review which we believe must be undertaken on our terms. If we do not undertake this review now we run the risk of unwelcome changes being enforced upon us."

Two News Corp Journalists Reportedly Arrested In Probe Of Stolen Phones
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Days after former News International CEO Rebekah Brooks and other journalists connected to News Corp were formally charged in relation to the phone hacking case, more journalists were arrested regarding allegations that a News Corp newspaper used stolen phones.
From Bloomberg News:
A second journalist at News Corp. (NWSA)'s Sun tabloid was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods as part of a police probe into allegations that the newspaper used data from mobile phones that were ripped off.
Police arrested a 37-year-old journalist today, the Metropolitan Police Service said in a statement. That follows the arrest of a 51-year-old man yesterday. Both men worked at the Sun, according to an official at News Corp.'s U.K. unit, who asked not to be identified, citing company policy.
The alleged thefts are the latest accusation against News Corp.'s U.K. publishing business, News International, whose reporters and editors have been accused of hacking into mobile- phone voice mails and e-mails, bribing public officials and disrupting police investigations. Sue Akers, the MPS deputy assistant commissioner, said last week that officers had discovered that News International journalists had information that appeared to be from stolen phones.
About 60 people have been arrested since the police investigations began last year. Eight former News Corp. journalists were charged last week with conspiring to intercept voice mail, including former News International Chief Executive Officer Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson, an ex-lead tabloid editor who later became an adviser to U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron.

"In my eyes you're a proud failure! When I look at you, I get an intense feeling in my heart. Because you are not perfect… Because you fail… you have the strength to get back up… Because I believe that's what true strength is…"
Basic Information
Name: Hinata Hyūga
Nickname: N/A
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Clan: Hyūga Clan
Looks: Hinata has dark blue hair and fair skin; traits that she inherited from her mother. She also has the customary white eyes of her clan, which have a tinge of lavender in the anime. She is usually seen with a shy expression in Part I, but less so in Part II, with the exception of when she is around Naruto. Like the rest of her clan, she possesses the renowned Byakugan which, when activated, stimulates the veins and arteries immediately around her eyes to protrude much more prominently.
In Part I, her hair is in a short, levelled hime-cut style just above her forehead, with chin-length strands framing her face. She wore a cream-coloured hooded-jacket with a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem, with navy blue pants. After earning her genin rank, she wore her Konoha forehead protector around her neck. At the Chūnin Exams finals, Hinata wore a long-sleeved, light blue blouse with a high collar, and dark blue pants. While at home, she was seen in the traditional Hyūga garb, consisting of a simple, loose-fitting robe with different coloured trimmings, and an under-shirt.
In Part II, Hinata has developed a curvaceous figure, while retaining her straight hime-style haircut,
which she has let grow to waist-length. The short, strands that frame her face still remain, but are now shoulder-length. She also dons a new attire comprised of a loose fitting, long-sleeved, lavender and cream zip-up jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armour with navy blue pants and black, low-heeled sandals. Although she still wears her forehead protector around her neck, its colour has changed from blue to black. In one of the omakes, she is seen wearing a beige apron and light blue scarf tied in a bandanna style. In another omake, she is seen in a casual outfit that consisted of brown capri pants, brown sandals, and a dark green, hood-less jacket with a fire symbol on the upper-right side of her chest. The cuffs of the jacket were rolled up to the middle of her forearms; the inside of the jacket was shown to be cream-coloured. Hinata had a light lavender blouse underneath. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, she dons the standard uniform of her village inclusive of flak jacket. Instead of wearing the forehead protector of the Allied Shinobi Forces, she has seemingly opted not to wear one at all.
Personality: Hinata is timid, serene, and very polite, always using appropriate name suffixes. She is very kind, a trait that Neji and her father used to consider a flaw, and dislikes competing and fighting. Possibly as a result of her father's contempt for her, Hinata lacks self-confidence, but is very hard working. She is also incredibly empathetic, and, because of her upbringing, is one of the first few characters who identifies with Naruto's painful childhood and desire to be acknowledged. Generally, Hinata opts to think carefully before acting, and when she does manage to muster enough self-confidence, she can be surprisingly competent. She becomes more open about her opinion as
Part I progresses and, by Part II, Hinata is more confident overall and demonstrates a willingness on occasion to take decisive action, unlike before.
Hinata gets along well with her team-mates. Kiba's actions toward her are often motivated by his concern for her, such as when he urged her to forfeit if she was matched against Neji or Gaara during the Chūnin Exams. Shino possesses a quiet confidence in Hinata, and will make a point of assuring others when they doubt or worry about her. Hinata is also the closest to her sensei, Kurenai, who is not only interested in Hinata's growth as a ninja but also as a person. She knows Hinata's personal struggles and unlike her demanding father, Kurenai tries her best to coach Hinata in ways in which she knows her pupil will best respond. After Hinata was knocked down for the final time by Neji in the Chūnin Exams, Kurenai silently congratulated her student's resolve and perseverance. By the end of Part I, she also fostered better relations with both her cousin, Neji, and her father and began training with the two of them.
Hinata has always had a long-standing admiration for Naruto, which later developed into much stronger feelings, eventually leading her to fall in love with him. Even Naruto's two-and-a-half-year absence did nothing to diminish her feelings for him, and in fact, she fainted when he first returned. From the beginning, Hinata's affection for Naruto was clear to almost every character around her except Naruto himself, who was oblivious to her feelings at first (before her confession) despite her constant blushing when around him. Nevertheless, Naruto has shown to have a great deal of care for Hinata, and always held her in high regard as a friend because of her desire to change herself and be acknowledged, something that he can relate to. As the series progresses, Hinata goes to great lengths for Naruto because she fiercely believes in him. During the invasion of Pain, Hinata finally confessed her love to Naruto and was also willing to protect him, even at the cost of her own life. This event is the first time Hinata had spoken to Naruto without blushing, fear, or awkwardness.
By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hinata has demonstrated more bravery and confidence so much now that she is willing to put her own life on the line for her friends and family, seen when she protected Neji as they fought alongside each other. Hinata has resolved to protect her team-mates and village no matter what, stating to Shino that this war was to protect Naruto, and failing was not an option. When the entire shinobi force was rushing to Naruto's aid, Hinata resolved that once the war was over, she would be standing right beside him, walking with him, holding his hand.

Background Info.
Introduction Arc
Hinata was first seen along with the graduating class, including Naruto. She silently hoped that she would be on the same team with Naruto though it was to not to be the case, much to her disappointment. However, she obeyed being allocated to Team 8 along with Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame.
Chūnin Exam Arc
"I no longer want to run away!"
When the Chūnin Exams began, Hinata entered with her team-mates in an attempt to change herself. During the first test, she was seated next to Naruto, and when Naruto was struggling to complete the written exam, she offered to let him cheat off her test. However, after seeing the penalty for cheating on a student just behind them, he refused so she wouldn't get in trouble, and because he was too proud to cheat. His inspiring speech at the end of the first test gave her the confidence to not give up, so the proctor, Ibiki Morino, passed everyone in the group who didn't refuse to take the tenth question. In the second part of the exam, during the Forest of Death, she and her team-mates quickly managed to get their scroll, becoming one of the first genin teams to do so in that exam. When Kiba and Akamaru smelled a second target, they witnessed the Sand Siblings' confrontation with a team of Ame genin. After Gaara killed the Amegakure genin, they hid behind a bush, hoping not to be caught and killed.
"I will never go back on my word, because that too is my nindō, my ninja way!"
In the preliminaries, Hinata had to face her much stronger cousin, Neji, in combat. She almost broke down and gave up after Neji berated her on being a failure that could never change. This angered Naruto, and he cheered Hinata on, giving her the strength to fight her cousin. Despite being outmatched and having her chakra cut off, she continued to fight. Neji was surprised when she refused to give up, even becoming enraged when she accused him of being the weak one who fights what he is. He charged at her, but the jōnin in attendance restrained him before he could kill her. When Hinata was taken away to the emergency room, Naruto dipped his fingers in her blood and vowed to defeat Neji.
"You're wrong, Neji… Because I can see that you are suffering more than me… You are the one who is confused and suffering within the fate of the head and branch families."
A month later, Naruto, concerned that he would be unable to defeat Neji despite his vow, ran into Hinata. When he began to doubt himself, she told him that he never gave up, which was something she admired, and that she had become more confident after he cheered for her. This gave Naruto the strength and drive to go face Neji. She later watches his match with Neji but, due to the injuries she received from Neji not being fully healed, Hinata passed out during the match, and did not see the outcome of the match. Kiba gets her medical attention from Kabuto Yakushi, who was disguised as an ANBU. She is healed, but remains unconscious for the rest of the Invasion of Konoha.
Pre-Shippūden Filler Arcs
In the filler arcs, Hinata received more screen-time than many other members of the Konoha 11. In the Search for the Bikōchū Arc, Team 8 and Naruto are sent to capture a bikōchū beetle that could track Sasuke Uchiha's scent — a mission that Hinata had insisted on. During the mission she develops her Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, and managed to save Naruto and the rest of Team 8 by using it against hostile bug-users. During the episode, Naruto came across a naked Hinata's silhouette, training in a waterfall at night. Naruto, being oblivious, didn't realise that it was her, and talked to Kiba about how he saw a "beautiful girl" at the waterfall the next day, embarrassing her greatly.In the Bounty Hunter Arc, she accompanied Naruto and Kiba to catch a thief, but because someone else caught him (albeit with their help), the mission was considered a failure. As a result of these two failures, Hinata, Naruto, and Kiba were threatened with being returned to the Academy if they did not succeed in finding hidden treasure. The group initially had difficulty working together due to friction between Naruto and Kiba. When they were captured by a group of ninja that could perfectly transform into copies of others, it was up to Hinata to save them and scare them away. She was unable to pursue them because of a leg injury, so Naruto and Kiba did so for her. Hinata later returned, and mistakenly attacked Naruto after he absent-mindedly put down the chest, which had distinguished him from the impostor.
In the Land of Vegetables Arc, she managed to defeat a powerful ninja, Jiga, although she nearly
sacrificed her life in doing so. In the Cursed Castle Arc, she helped her team-mates navigate the halls of a strange castle, which was actually a summoned chameleon in disguise, to save a daimyō's wife. In "Follow My Lead! The Great Survival Challenge", the Academy Students were divided into teams of three and were assigned to a genin who would lead them on a mission against the other teams. Hinata was assigned to lead a team of three academy students; Nobori, Daichi and Matsuri. Her time with them was not covered much except that she was good at setting up camp and was doing better than Naruto.Throughout the filler arcs, and as was seen at the end of the Part I manga, Hinata developed a much better relationship with her father, who encouraged her to do her best after her near-success in the bikōchū mission. Neji also got along well with her, sparring with her and caring about her well-being. When Naruto left to train with Jiraiya at the end of the series, she watched him leave, but was unable to bring herself to say goodbye to him. As he left, she vowed to become stronger, and to work as hard as he did.
Part II
In Part II, she had attained the rank of chūnin, and was still part of Team 8, renamed Team Kurenai. When Naruto greeted her, she passed out, overcome by the prospect of meeting him for the first time in two and a half yearsIn the anime, just when she regained her consciousness, Naruto came to her and asked, very vaguely, to come with him on his mission, telling her "don't say a word and come with me". Hinata misinterpreted the words and promptly passed out again. After this, Hinata asked Kiba if she seemed more grown-up, in the hopes of impressing Naruto. Kiba jokingly teased her, by saying she was still as silly as ever, and then told her that Naruto was behind her, surprising and upsetting her when she discovered it was a lie.
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
In the anime, she can be seen at Asuma's funeral. Later, she can be seen by a river with her team-mates, she's overjoyed to hear that Naruto is working so hard to hone his new technique. She is then reprimanded by Kiba who teases her about why she's blushing, causing her to back away with embarrassment.
Itachi Pursuit Arc
Team 8 was recruited to help Team 7 find Itachi Uchiha. They split up to try and find his trail, and Hinata was added to Naruto's group. They were soon confronted by Kabuto Yakushi and Hinata used her
Byakugan to see that one-third of Kabuto had been taken over by Orochimaru's remains. Later, when the squad regrouped, they came across Tobi, who appeared to be blocking their path to Sasuke. During the battle that followed, Hinata took the role of stationary scout, using her Byakugan to follow Tobi's chakra signal. When Tobi left after receiving word that Sasuke had killed Itachi, Kakashi instructed Hinata to locate the site of their battle. They tried to reach it before Tobi, but were too late and forced to return home.
Invasion of Pain Arc
"I used to always cry and give up… I made many wrong turns… But you… You helped me find the right path…
I always chased after you… I wanted to catch up to you… I wanted to walk beside you all the time… I just
wanted to be with you… You changed me! Your smile is what saved me! That is why I'm not afraid to die
protecting you! Because… I love you…"
During the beginning of the assault of the village, Hinata was with her team-mates, watching the disaster. They later separated with Shino and Kiba going to find their parents.After Pain destroyed the village, Hinata emerged from the rubble without any major injuries along with her bodyguard, Kō Hyūga. As Kō was not so fortunate, Hinata tried to find him medical attention, but he refused as his only concern was her safety. Once realising that Naruto was fighting Pain all by himself, she attempted to run to his side, but was stopped by Kō, who warned her she'd only be a burden. Just as she seemingly accepted Kō's words, Naruto was pinned down by Pain. She decided to intervene, despite knowing she did not have the ability to defeat him. When Naruto asked why she would throw away her life, she responded that it was because she loved him, which greatly shocked Naruto.
In the anime, she was able to remove a few of the Chakra Disruption Blades that were on Naruto and even land a blow against the Deva Path. While he did eventually subdue her with Shinra Tensei, he was puzzled why she was willing to fight despite being weakened by his blow. Hinata, crawling near Naruto and still attempting to remove the chakra blade from him, replied by echoing Naruto's words: it is her nindō. With that response, the Deva Path stabbed her with one of his chakra blades. Enraged, Naruto slipped into his six-tailed form, while a barely conscious Hinata looked on.As the battle between Naruto and Pain raged on, Team Guy arrived at Hinata's side, and rushed her away from the battlefield and to Sakura's side. When her wounds were healed, Hinata expressed relief over news that Naruto had defeated Pain. When Naruto came back to the village, she shed tears of joy that he was all-right, and was seen later on smiling as the villagers celebrated Naruto's victory.
Five Kage Summit Arc
Hinata and the rest of the Konoha 11, minus Team Kakashi, decided that, in light of Sasuke's criminal actions, they should personally eliminate him before he can involve Konoha in a war. After Naruto was informed of their intentions and met with Sasuke, he told them to leave Sasuke to him. As several of the members voiced their discontentment with this as they feared that Sasuke's actions would incite a war, Hinata watched on as Naruto once again firmly stated that he would handle Sasuke and also tell them everything when the time was right.
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
In the anime, Hinata had a conversation with Shikamaru about Naruto when he was in his six-tailed form. She stated that Naruto transformed in order to protect her, but was concerned about his display of intense rage and loss of control.
Shinobi World War Arc
"Thank you Shino, but I want to do the best job I can. We're fighting this war to protect Naruto!
Failure is not an option!"
Hinata was later assigned to the Second Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces alongside Neji, Kurotsuchi and Karui. She commented that she was a little nervous, while Karui told her that war was nothing to worry about. However, she instantly noted that many ninja didn't trust each other due to years of being each other's enemies which worried her.Hinata's division was deployed to an area where the White Zetsu Army was discovered travelling underground. When Kurotsuchi and Kitsuchi used their technique to unearth the army of Zetsu, she and Neji attacked them simultaneously with the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm. Later during the battle, Hinata saved Neji from an attack by a White Zetsu clone. At the end of the first day of battle, after Neji collapsed from fatigue, Hinata took his place alongside Shino. When Shino told her not to overexert herself as he already had his kikaichū scattered around to help detect the enemy, Hinata thanked him and thinking about Naruto, she resolutely told him that failure was not an option as this was a war to protect Naruto.The next morning, Hinata's division resumed battling the White Zetsu Army clones. While fighting, she was attacked by three Zetsu clones transformed into Kumo-nin simultaneously, but their attack was intercepted by one of Naruto's shadow clones. After Kiba, Akamaru, Shino and Neji arrived on the scene, Neji demanded that Naruto proved who he is, but Hinata told them that if they looked into his eyes, they would know that he was in fact Naruto. Lamenting the fact that though she wanted to protect Naruto, he ended up saving her instead. However, Naruto saw her sorrow and reassured her that she was very strong, recounting her coming to his aid during the invasion of Pain, to which she silently thanked him for. The team then mobilised to finish off the rest of the enemies.
"Naruto… I've always been chasing after you… Even now… But once this war ends, I'm going to stop once and for all… Because next time, I'll be standing right beside you, holding your hand… walking with you! Please wait for me!!"
After being informed by Inoichi from headquarters that Naruto and Killer B were fighting the "masked Madara", Hinata and the rest of the Konoha 11 rushed to his aid. As she ran alongside Neji, she thought of Naruto and asked him to wait for her, and that instead of running after him, she'd be walking with him, hand-in-hand, once the war had ended.

Try using this driver
If you can't get your card to work with that driver then run these commands and post the output:
Code:lsusb dmesg | grep rt lsmod | grep rt
hi guys i have been googling for days now, i really wanted to solve this myself but i just cant seem to find the solution, hope you guys can help me out.
Information about my card
windows shows the following information:
RT73 USB Wireless LAN CARD
manufacturer: Ralink technology corp.
picture of the card: http://img.ps2netdrivers.net/img/9d/...w053/small.jpg
What i did
oke, i lookup the driver for my card on the website of ralink, Result: RT2501USB(RT73:RT2571W/RT2573/RT2671)
downloaded the file
tar'd the file
cd'd into the extraced folder
at this point i am supposed to do a ./configure ,however this directory is not present! so I got stock here and have no idea what to do
hope you guys can help me out.
thanks for your time.
Try using this driver
If you can't get your card to work with that driver then run these commands and post the output:
Code:lsusb dmesg | grep rt lsmod | grep rt
first thank you for replying legitnick!
i tried the driver from the link you sent me, however i am now having trouble with "make". i keep getting the following error
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-184.108.40.206'
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 0 modules
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-source-22.214.171.124'
rt73.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1
i did some research and i understand that this has something to do with the kernel/headers.
i made sure that the headers are installed, that didnt helpt either.
did some further research and came to the conclusion that my kernel version is no supported (220.127.116.11). so i donwloaded a older version and installed it, however the system is still using the new kernel.
i am not sure if installing a older kernel is a appropriate thing to do xD
what do you think?
Yes, I am facing the same problem.
I am using Backtrack 5 r3.
My wireless usb adapter works when I used another driver than the one stated in aircrack-ng.org but it cannot go into monitor mode.
I did many searches on google but still cannot find the solution.
Can anyone provide a solution to this?
When trying to compile any driver, you will always need the linux headers, here is the link so you can learn how to install them: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/...Kernel_Headers
or try: aptitude install linux-headers-"your kernel" , where "your hernel"=uname -r (type uname-r in the terminal), ex: uname -r -----> 3.2.0-2-amd64 so the command will be:
aptitude install linux-kernel-3.2.0-2-amd64
Last edited by maverik35; 01-07-2013 at 10:50 AM.
I saw my usb wireless adapter named wlan0 when using iwconfig but nothing was shown after typing airmon-ng
Also, I am not able to have any internet access using this usb. "Bad Password" is always shown.
I saw some guys said that they can use it without installing any drivers as rt73 has already been installed in Backtrack 5 but sadly I cannot use it.
Is there any solution to solve this?

Health systems here rush to form alliances — but not with each other
It's common wisdom that health care reform is driving hospital and health system consolidation, and certainly there has been a lot of activity in that industry. Nearly every health care entity in Central Pennsylvania has proposed or approved some kind of new relationship recently.
Notably, however, most of those relationships haven't been with each other. And most have not been full consolidations.
Instead, the entities largely have been reaching farther afield, forging bonds designed to foster synergies and enable coordinated care — but not constitute actual mergers or acquisitions.
One reason for the general structure of these arrangements is clear: With organizations generally commanding a sizable share of the health care markets in their areas, getting the necessary approvals to merge with or acquire a neighbor is a high or, in some cases, unattainable bar. Less-comprehensive agreements access the power of broader network while maintaining strong local control.
"Because of our large market share, we were obviated from integrating Ephrata (Community Hospital) into our health system, which has been our desire," said Tom Beeman, president and CEO of Lancaster General Health.
However, York-based WellSpan Health, which has most of its presence on the other side of the Susquehanna River, announced this month that its proposed affiliation with Ephrata has gotten a green light and will be official Oct. 1.
That news was followed last week by word that WellSpan and LG Health have joined five other organizations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to form AllSpire Health Partners, the nation's largest health care alliance. Their goals are very similar to that of an accountable care organization: Improving the experience for the patient, improving the health of the population and creating more affordable health care.
But, Beeman said, AllSpire wasn't formed as an ACO, because each member "either has or is developing an ACO locally."
Here's a rundown of other significant recent industry activity.
• Camp Hill-based Holy Spirit Health System announced Sept. 9 that it is pursuing an affiliation with Montour County-based Geisinger Health System. Holy Spirit, a Catholic nonprofit, would maintain local control but work closely with the larger system, which is known for its integrated care model.
• Harrisburg-based PinnacleHealth System said Aug. 29 that it formed River Health ACO with several other health systems with a goal of participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program. Pinnacle also announced in May that it has entered into exclusive partnership negotiations with Huntingdon-based J.C. Blair Health System.
• Florida-based Health Management Associates Inc. and Tennessee-based Community Health Systems Inc. announced in July that they entered a definitive merger agreement in which CHS would acquire HMA for approximately $7.6 billion. However, the deal was subject to shareholder approval, and just weeks later, Glenview Capital Management LLC, the largest shareholder in both companies, convinced HMA shareholders to remove and replace the entire HMA board, casting doubt on the arrangement's prospects.
HMA has three hospitals in Cumberland and Lancaster counties: Carlisle Regional Medical Center, Lancaster Regional Medical Center and Heart of Lancaster Regional Medical Center.
CHS has one local facility, Memorial Hospital in York, which it acquired last year.
• The Good Samaritan Health System in Lebanon said in June that it is seeking a strategic alliance to better position itself for the demands of health care reform. It has not yet named the potential partner but indicated that it aimed to have some news this fall.
• Finally, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center announced in May that it signed a pediatric hospitalist agreement with Moses Taylor Hospital in Scranton to staff its newly expanded pediatric unit. The deal closely resembled Penn State Hershey's May 2012 agreement with Lancaster General Hospital and its July 2012 oncology affiliation with Lancaster Regional Medical Center and Heart of Lancaster Regional Medical Center.
Penn State Hershey also has had its LionNet stroke system that, since July 2012, has grown to include seven telemedicine affiliates, including Hanover Hospital, Good Samaritan, CRMC and Memorial. And in December it signed a collaborative agreement to have its physicians provide cardiothoracic surgery at Holy Spirit.
At a glance
Here's a quick overview of the important health system relationships forged recently:
• Lancaster General Health, WellSpan Health and five others: AllSpire Health Partners, an alliance
• WellSpan and Ephrata Community Hospital: Affiliation
• PinnacleHealth System and other systems: River Health ACO
And here are some that have been proposed:
• Holy Spirit Health System and Geisinger Health System: Affiliation
• Health Management Associates Inc. and Community Health Systems Inc.: Merger

COMPLEX vascular surgery has not yet been moved out of Wycombe Hospital and Bucks health chiefs still hope to retain certain procedures.
But documents obtained by the Bucks Free Press [see related links] give short shrift to this idea.
The review of Phase 1 of the centralisation says: "Wycombe Hospital must agree to the transfer of all arterial surgery [to Oxford]... It is not viable for carotid and femorodistal bypass surgery to be excluded."
The reviewers argue the number of hospitals providing vascular surgery is set to be reduced to about 50 in England and Wales (from 150) and "commissioners will not purchase arterial interventions except from arterial centres".
Concerns have already been raised that the loss of carotid surgery from Wycombe Hospital could in turn threaten its critical care, coronary and hyper-acute stroke units [see related links].
The NHS Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire Cluster said: "Our preferred option was for Wycombe Hospital to continue carotid surgery to prevent strokes, but we commented that this may not be a viable option in the longer run and that the service would need further review."
It said the review findings would be considered by commissioners.
The main treatments already set to move from Wycombe to Oxford are for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).
This is a condition in which the main artery in the abdomen becomes stretched and prone to bursting.
Timely detection and treatment of AAA prevents later problems with rupture and bleeding, and can be life-saving.
Treatment for AAA can be either by open surgery or by a much less invasive approach through the major blood vessels which is called endovascular surgery.
The current centralisation does not include day case vascular surgery, diagnostics and outpatient provision, which will all stay in Wycombe.

Despite the cold and wet weather, Ontario and BC clashed in the finals of the Cricket Canada National T20 league on Saturday. Frigid temperatures greeted both teams but a delayed start, broadcast live around the world on www.gocricketgocanada.com, saw temperatures creep towards double digits by mid afternoon.
With poor weather looming for the afternoon and on Sunday both teams knew the series would come down to one game and with that in mind BC captain Jimmy Hansra put his team into bat first.
Ontario's Henry Osinde and Jeremy Gordon, bowling quick under difficult conditions, hemmed the BC batsmen in and none of them got off to positives starts . Gordon with 2 wickets accounted for Balkiaz Khan (1) and Jason Sandher (32) and snuffed out any hope of a big score for the visitors. Tyrone Roberts (2-13) and Rizwan Cheema (1-13) were among the other wickets as BC was restricted to 85-7 in 20 overs.
Ontario's openers Hiral Patel (28) and Khushroo Wadia (50) set about positively in the chase and though Patel fell late in the innings, the stage was set for a comprehensive Ontario victory.
Rizwan Cheema was named man of the series for his heroics earlier in the week as Ontario were deservingly named 2011 T20 National League Champions

Just like a care or any mechanical system, having your heating system routinely serviced will pay dividends in the long run.
If you have a forced-air furnace or a heat pump, it is essential to regularly clean or replace your filters. A clean filter improves your home's air quality. It also allows your furnace to run more efficiently, which can save money on energy bills and help avoid costly repair or replacement.
You'll want to replace your air conditioning filters or clean reusable filters at least four times a year and as often as every month during high usage times. Remember, with AC filters you get what you pay for, so make sure you purchase one that will provide you with the most benefits.
There are a number of common filter options available:
To find out what the right filter is for your HVAC system, schedule an appointment today by calling 866-399-2885.
Your cooling and heating system is a major investment for your home and your comfort. With so much at stake, seasonal heater and furnace tune-ups are worth the expense when compared to the alternative of having to replace the entire unit.

You don't have to shiver or walk around wearing four sweatshirts to reduce your heating bills and your carbon footprint. Taking simple steps can often help you lower your energy usage.
Stay warm with these easy tips:
A good place to start is to find out how much energy you're using—and how much you're wasting—through a home energy audit.
Keep warm air in and cold air out by improving your insulation and closing up any gaps where outside air may enter. Also, insulating furnace ducts and hot water pipes reduces wasted heat.
Zone heating can help save on energy bills by using supplemental heating sources such as space heaters or gas fireplaces to heat the rooms your family occupies most.
Simply turning your thermostat back 10°–15° for eight hours can potentially save on your heating and cooling bills. You can do this automatically by installing a programmable thermostat.
A tuned-up system will run more efficiently, possibly lower your energy costs and last longer.
If your system is older, you might be able to cut your fuel bills and your furnace's pollution output with a new, high-efficiency unit.
Call 866-399-2885 to contact your local ARS®/Rescue Rooter® professional to schedule a no-cost analysis of the benefits of replacing your system, and for more green home energy solutions.

High school notebook: KA's Antone has options in recruiting realm
Kiski Area three-sport standout Maddie Antone has plenty of time to make her college decision, although she may have to decide on a sport first.
The senior has made teams in basketball, softball and volleyball significantly better since she was a ninth-grader. Colleges have taken notice in all three sports, although it appears Antone is leaning toward basketball and softball.
The 5-foot-10 Antone has Division I attention from Cleveland State in basketball and Winthrop in softball.
She believes more schools may come calling in hoops if she debunks scouting reports that call her one-dimensional. She expects to play more small forward or guard this season after spending her entire prep career on the low block.
"I'm small compared to a lot of these other girls," Antone said. "Colleges see 5-10 and they want you to play guard. I haven't had much of a chance to do that."
Antone has not ruled out the possibility of playing two sports in college. St. Vincent, Clarion and Wheeling-Jesuit have inquired about her pulling double-duty.
"I want to be patient and see if I can get a full ride," Antone said. "We'll see what happens from there."
Two that got away
Deer Lakes football fans probably cringed again when they saw two former players make impacts at other programs. It has become a disheartening trend.
Josh Loper, a senior, went to Shady Side Academy, where he anchored the Indians' defense. Loper, a 6-foot, 195-pound defensive end, was named the Class AA Allegheny Conference's Defensive Player of the Year.
North Allegheny standout defensive lineman Jeremy Gonzales helped lead the Tigers to a WPIAL Class AAAA championship. The 6-2, 220-pounder had 11 sacks this season through 11 games for the Tigers.
Both players played youth football at Deer Lakes but left the district after eighth grade.
A Deer Lakes Bucks youth team from 2003 featured Loper, Gonzales and former Shaler star J.P. Holtz, a Pitt recruit. Who knows how good Deer Lakes' varsity would have been with those players in the lineup? Lancers fans might have been Mapquesting directions to Heinz Field.
Bush league
No shocker here: Burrell senior running back Cole Bush was named Allegheny Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Bush ran for 1,794 yards and scored 33 touchdowns — both single-season school records — as the Bucs went 8-2 and shared the conference title with Freeport.

10 Frozen Cocktails to Toast the End of the Summer

Sleeker, tangier, and far limber-er than its European counterparts.

I'm currently working with dealer to get credit on these tires. All four have 3/32 to 2/32 left with less than 30000 miles on them. 70000 is a complete lie. The car these are on has had tires rotated by dealer and 4 wheel alignment done at Hyundai's suggested intervals. The Nexens were purchased with 28000 miles on the car. The car currently has only 54000 and tire treat is almost gone. Do not buy Nexen CP 672 tires unless you love waiting to have tires changed often.

I leased a new 2015 KIA Optima EX (great deal, reliable and fun car) and these Nexen CP672 were the OEM tires mounted the vehicle. Miami, FL Driver. These tires would slip while accelerating from a complete stop. Especially bad while on wet roads - no confidence with wet roads.
The warranty listed on these tires is 70,000 miles - what a joke! I had to purchase new tires around 33,000 miles. Tires wore out so bad that I could see the steel belts on certain parts of the tires thread.
This tire is solely designed for the car manufacturer in mind as they simply slap on the cheapest tires for new vehicles due to discounted pricing (bulk purchases).
An absolute rip-off for consumer purchase - stay far away from these. Seriously, stop reading reviews after this and look elsewhere.
Enough said.

TERRIBLE TIRES! I have only gone 8,000 miles and I am already 3/4 through the tread...I already need new tires. These tires aren't even a year old! Not only that their warranty team is not willing to do anything about the terrible wear of these tires. We even have a bulge on the inside of the tire where the band broke, NEXEN is blaming it on us when in fact their tires don't even last the supposed 70,000 miles they are rated for.

He's covered Arena Homme dressed as David Bowie and been in campaigns for Topman — now Duncan Pyke models for us!
On my last trip to London I met up with Duncan Pyke to bang out this shoot. I was running late and he was waiting around at a mechanic in Hackney. When I arrived it was raining pretty heavily so we chilled, smoked some cigarettes and discussed our mutual enjoyment of reggae and fried chicken. After the rain stopped we wandered around the mechanics yard and managed to get a pretty cool shoot out of it.

Ravens' Jones takes control of big situation
Updated 7:26 am, Monday, February 4, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Jacoby Jones was the Baltimore Ravens' Most Valuable Player in the week before the Super Bowl, thanks to his mom's home cooking, and nearly was the MVP of Sunday's Super Bowl.
Jones set an NFL record with a 108-yard kickoff return for a score, seemingly turning out the lights on the 49ers with a touchdown to start the second half. It was the receiver's second TD of the game and put the Ravens up 28-6 before a 34-minute power outage delay at the stadium.
Jones, a New Orleans native who spent his entire NFL career with the Texans before this season, took the line-drive kick from David Akers and ran it right back up the middle of the field for the score.
"If I were them, I wouldn't kick it to me, not at all," he told reporters leading up to the game.
The return was originally ruled 109 yards but a review made it 108. So the record return (regular season or postseason) does not equal the longest play in NFL history. (San Diego's Antonio Cromartie returned a missed field goal 109 yards in 2007.)
Sports Channel
The Ravens became the first team with two Super Bowl kickoff returns for touchdowns, according to ESPN. Jermaine Lewis had one for Baltimore in 2000.
Jones' return also was the ninth kickoff return for a TD in Super Bowl history. The last was by the Chicago Bears' Devin Hester in 2006.
The previous record for the longest kickoff return for a score in the playoffs was by the Falcons' Eric Weems, who had a 102-yarder in 2010.
Jones had two kickoff returns during the regular season — a 108-yarder against the Cowboys and a 105-yarder against the Raiders.
He had already had a significant impact on the game before the kickoff return.
Late in the first half, he hauled in a 56-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco that put the Ravens up 21-3. It was similar to his game-tying 70-yard touchdown in the divisional playoff win at Denver, where Jones got behind the entire secondary and was waiting for an underthrown pass.
San Francisco cornerback Chris Culliver thought he had deep help and then sprinted back too late as Jones hit the turf to catch the pass. Jones got back up and ran the last 10 yards into the end zone after giving Culliver the shake-and-bake.
Jones' 56-yard TD was the longest pass play the 49ers' defense allowed all season.

Did you know?
The Limpopo/Shashe TFCA, shared by Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe, was renamed the Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area because all three countries already have sites called Mapungubwe.
It seems quite fitting that the statesman who gave the world 'holism' and founded what would become the United Nations, first championed what is now the Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area.
Back in 1922, Prime Minister Jan Smuts saw the potential of this land and agitated for it to be protected. First, it was set aside as a botanical reserve. Later, in the early 1940s, it was proclaimed as the Dongola National Park. It was then that General Smuts mooted the joining of this area with wilderness across the border, in Botswana (then Bechuanaland) and Zimbabwe (then Southern Rhodesia).
Unfortunately, the park became a victim of politicking, and was deproclaimed shortly after 1948.
All through this time, academics quietly carried on excavating the fascinating lost kingdom of Mapungubwe, as they had since the 1930s.
Now things have come full circle for the Mapungubwe Transfrontier Park. The rare vegetation, Acacia Salvadora woodland, that must have inspired Jan Smuts to protect this land is now officially conserved. Red data list animals like wild dogs, tsessebe and sable have been introduced. The cross-boundary sanctuary General Smuts envisaged is in the process of creation.
On the South African side, a patchwork of land is being consolidated around the anchor, the Mapungubwe National Park. Already local communities are benefiting from the Greater Mapungubwe Conservation Area.The South African government has funded the creation of camps and other infrastructure in Mapungubwe through its Poverty Relief funding.
Across the Botswana border is the Tuli block, 36 privately owned farms working as a single, elephant-rich conservation entity. On the Zimbabwe side is the Tuli Circle hunting area and a few large game farms. Linking all this land will dramatically increase rangeland for the famous Tuli elephants.
The Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area is another victory for holistic thinking.

How to get here
Enter the Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area from Mapungubwe National Park in the Limpopo province. It is easily accessible by car from the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Best time to visit
Autumn, winter and spring are lovely times in this part of the world. Summer is good too, but often extremely hot and humid.
Tours to do
There is an excellent tour focused around the ancient kingdom of Mapungubwe. It is fascinating, and you will not want to miss it.
Get around
There are excellent game drives in the Mapungubwe National Park, for which a vehicle is provided. But you will find your own vehicle gives you a lot more freedom.
What to pack
Take something warm for the evenings in winter. Don't forget your camera and binoculars. And always pack a hat and sunscreen.
Where to stay
Mapungubwe National Park has an array of options for all budgets and tastes. The Tuli Block in Botswana has a number of luxury lodges.
